A round of bells rang, and everyone who participated in the competition hurried to the square of Hongmen.
At this time, the entire broad square was crowded with heads, and disciples wearing various robes were divided into different teams.
Lin Shan is wearing a white robe. This is the robe belonging to the elder hall master and other direct disciples. It is also the least popular in Hongmen.
From a quick glance, there were no more than a hundred people at most.
However, in the competition, these direct disciples did not receive any special treatment. They still had to compete with other ordinary disciples and elite disciples.
This is also a very unique rule among all the sects in the entire fairy world.
What is important is also fairness.
However, who can be accepted as a direct disciple by the elders, hall masters and other sect leaders, who is a simple person?
Not to mention how strong he is, at least his potential is infinite.
In addition, as direct disciples, their cultivation resources are greatly skewed, so to a certain extent, they have an advantage over elite disciples and ordinary disciples.
It would be too shameful to have these advantages and still be defeated in a big competition.
It's not like this has never happened before.
To be precise, it happens in almost every competition.
So all living beings, never underestimate anyone.
Maybe there is a powerful opponent hidden under those seemingly ordinary surfaces.
Lin Shan and Tian Linger stood in the smallest group of people, and in front were the hall masters and deacons. Of the four elders of Hongmen, only two showed up this time.
They stood together on a high platform, with a sacrificial platform in front of them, where various kinds of fairy fruits were enshrined.
As another round of bells rang, the ceremony began.
The square was silent except for the prayers of the two elders, which were low but far away and seemed to reach deep into the sky.
After praying, offering incense and bowing, all the disciples knelt down together.
After kneeling and standing up, one of the elders said a few words, expounding the importance of the competition and asking everyone to take it seriously. Then Tian Datong, the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall and the first of the four elders, came to the stage to announce the competition.
Anyone who cheats or violates the rules will be severely punished.
After that, the competition officially began.
All the disciples were scattered around the square. One of the elders lit a few seals in the void, and many competition stages appeared in the middle of the square.
Each arena is surrounded by a transparent aperture. Tian Linger told Lin Shan that this is to protect the surrounding disciples and prevent accidental injuries to others during the competition.
In addition, this aperture also plays a role in protecting competitive disciples.
There won't be any deaths in the competition.
Of course, this also draws on previous lessons.
Once in a competition, because novices could not control their strength, many potential disciples were killed or injured. Even if there were no casualties, even if the foundation was destroyed, it would still be a huge loss.
In view of this situation, the ancestors of Hongmen designed this kind of competitive stage, which will only be opened for every competition.
Of course, maintaining the operation of these arenas requires a large amount of expenditure.
It is said that just a medium-grade immortal stone costs tens of thousands of dollars every hour.
The formations to maintain these arenas even require the use of high-grade immortal stones.
It can be seen from this that Hongmen attaches great importance to Dabi.
But this is not difficult to understand.
The Grand Competition is equivalent to a talent promotion ceremony. It is a method to select outstanding candidates from among many disciples.
Those who win the ranking in the competition will definitely be the ones Hongmen focuses on cultivating in the future, and will also become the backbone of Hongmen.
Tian Linger told Lin Shan that in each Hongmen competition, the disciples who achieved corresponding rankings would receive different rewards.
The first three hundred people can enter the Samsara Tower to practice.
Tian Linger couldn't tell where the Reincarnation Tower was. He just said that one day of cultivation inside would be comparable to half a year's results outside.
In addition, in addition to Kung Fu training, the Samsara Tower above also provides actual combat training, where you can hone your combat effectiveness in actual combat.
But it is said that if you don’t have enough strength, it is generally not recommended to try it.
Because those places are too dangerous and you may die from them.
Even though the competition hadn't even started, Lin Shan already got a lot of interesting information.
Especially the Reincarnation Tower that Tian Linger told him, he also wanted to go in and see it.
Not to mention anything else, just the cultivation results alone, one day compared to the outside world for half a year, is tempting enough.
Of course, if you want to enter the Samsara Tower to practice, you must obtain the corresponding ranking.
And the results achieved every day and half a year are only the effects of one level of the Reincarnation Tower.
The higher the ranking, the higher the number of levels you can log in to, and the greater the benefits will naturally be.
"It seems I can't hide my strength this time."
Lin Shan thought this in his heart.
Of course, it’s better not to reveal your trump card if you can, but you must get a good ranking.
This is also to be able to enter the Reincarnation Tower and quickly improve your strength.
After the competition started, everything around the arenas became lively.
The two people who drew the corresponding number cards took the stage to compete for the top spot.
Although Lin Shan has never seen the Hongmen Competition, he understands the competition very well.
This competition is actually a competition, the losers are eliminated, and the winners advance to the next round.
Until the end, the strongest one will win.
The number plate Lin Shan drew was the sixth arena, which was located near the edge, but there were many white-robed disciples gathered here.
That is, he is a direct disciple with the same status as Lin Shan.
The reason why they gathered around was not to see Lin Shan, but to catch a glimpse of Tian Linger's style.
Because Tian Linger is also in this arena from time to time, and the next game is hers.
These elders and the direct disciples of the hall master are all pretentious, but they are wary of Tian Linger.
In the subsequent competition, it is inevitable that she will have to face off with Tian Linger, so it is also beneficial to take a look at her cultivation and methods in advance.
As a disciple was knocked down on the arena, the game ended, the aperture temporarily disappeared, the winner automatically advanced, and the loser was naturally eliminated.
During the game, there is no referee, everything is decided by the aperture.
It is also very fair and reasonable. It is said that this aperture uses a very user-friendly formation method to record all the competition processes for future reference.
So no one can cheat, let alone cheat.
Winning is winning, losing is losing.
Of course, there are even situations, and the aperture will determine the most reasonable result.
"Sister, come on!"
Tian Linger looked at the number plate in her hand, and then jumped onto the arena.
At this time, an elite disciple came onto the stage with a sad face. When the aperture appeared again and enveloped the entire arena, he suddenly raised his hand towards Tian Linger and said: "Senior sister, your cultivation is strong, so it’s okay not to fight in this match.
, I admit defeat!”
Tian Linger was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said: "This junior brother is still very self-aware."
The elite disciple jumped off the stage with a grimace on his face and left, causing the direct disciples to curse secretly.
At the very least, let's give it a few hits and let everyone see Tian Linger's spells.
To admit defeat just like that! It’s a waste of everyone’s feelings! But whoever’s turn it is, I’m afraid everyone will choose this way.
Facing the strong Tian Linger, the outcome would be the same whether he fights or not, so it is better to preserve his strength and face the next game.
