After that night, Shen Qian saw Tantai Qin for the first time.
Tan Taiqin did not show up during the Jiutian Cup, but this time it is the main event of this "Jiutian Cup", and it is obviously impossible for her to be absent again.
In the waiting area for admission, Tan Taiqin met Ning Zhiyuan and Cheng Qingqing who were leading the team, but the auras between the three were obviously different. Ning Zhiyuan and Cheng Qingqing were chatting and laughing, while Tan Taiqin stood silently. On the side.
However, she has always had this cold look, so no one takes it seriously.
Until the bell rang throughout the Magic City, Shen Qian did not find a chance to exchange a few words with Tantai Qin alone, so he could only give up with a secret sigh.
"All contestants from colleges and universities participating in the nine-day competition are requested to line up in order and enter the venue in order under the guidance of the staff!"
A majestic voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Shen Qian sounded somewhat familiar, and after a quick thought in his mind, he recognized the voice of Ma Gongzuo, Minister of Education of China.
Although they have never met in person, the two had an in-depth conversation online.
It was also at that time that Ma Gongzuo persuaded him to temporarily give up the title of national martial arts champion, saying that his stage had not yet come.
I just don’t know if Ma Gongzuo was referring to the Nine Heavens War.
After the announcement of the Nine-Day Ranking, Qu Bai, the captain of the Jiangzhong Army, came forward and directed everyone to line up quickly and arrive at an area outside the parking lot.
This is a wide beach, still more than ten kilometers away from the rolling waves of the East China Sea, but with a wide view, you can also see the blue East China Sea at a glance.
Shen Qian, who had already been overseas, knew that it was just an illusion covered by the weather system, and the real ocean was much more violent than this.
What makes Shen Qian a little strange is that he can see nothing on the huge beach in front of him, so where is the competition ground?
At this moment, contestants from major universities were scattered horizontally on the beach, and there was a lot of commotion. Apparently many people noticed something strange.
"Array..."
Shen Qian felt it for a moment and then understood.
At this time, under the guidance of a row of staff at the front, students on the beach also began to enter.
Then, as many people watched, the first row of people who entered suddenly disappeared.
It's like water droplets joining a river, creating a ripple in the air, and then disappearing.
"It's indeed a formation!"
Many people were shocked, but after all, there were many people present who had seen the world, and they immediately realized what was going on.
Under the comfort of their respective instructors, order was quickly restored on the beach.
Students from major universities lined up like dumplings, disappearing into the air one by one.
After Ouyang Fei, who was in front, disappeared, Shen Qian didn't hesitate and stepped forward with a calm expression.
There was a slight feeling of dizziness and weightlessness, which was somewhat similar to the feeling when Shen Qian walked through the "door", but it was much shorter than that.
It only took a moment. When Shen Qian came back to his senses, the first thing that entered his ears was the sound of breathtaking sounds from all around him.
Shen Qian looked up. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.
The sea water disappeared, and what appeared in front of you was an extremely wide square paved with white jade. There were thousands of stone sculptures of different shapes on this square.
There are strange beasts, celestial phenomena, mountains and rivers, unknown spiritual weapons, and all kinds of strange people and plants... lifelike.
They are staggered and distributed like chess pieces, all over the square.
The only thing they have in common is that they are both huge.
The shortest stone sculptures are over tens of meters tall, and the larger ones are even over a hundred meters tall.
Looking up again, there is a floating circular stone platform high in the sky, which happens to surround the square. There are many figures standing vaguely among them, but it is not clear under the cover of clouds and fog.
"There should be all the powerful people who came to watch this time. They are most likely above the mountains and seas. I guess there are quite a few princes."
Qu Bai came over at some point and said to Shen Qian side by side.
Shen Qian nodded slightly. The competition system had already mentioned before that Wu Wei would personally preside over the Nine Heavens Contest. As long as the other princes received invitations, even if they did not come in real form, there would be more or less consciousness clones coming to watch the ceremony.
"Do you know what these stone statues are for?"
Shen Qian quickly turned his attention back to his eyes.
He vaguely felt that there was something else about these stone statues, but he couldn't see why for a while.
"I don't know more than you, but since these stone statues appear here, they are probably related to the competition. You will know in a moment."
Qu Bai smiled and sighed, "Anyway, this is already a new space in a sense... What a big deal!"
Shen Qian also nodded.
It is true that this square should be on the coast of the East China Sea, but it is actually an independent space. The fact that it can accommodate so many people also shows its stability.
This is definitely the work of the prince, and it is estimated that even if the prince takes action, he will have to pay a high price.
After a while, all the students from Jiangzhong Junwu entered the square, and Tantaiqin turned around to face the Jiangzhong Junwu people.
"Come on."
After simply uttering two words, Tantaiqin flashed and went straight to the high platform.
But before leaving, Tantaiqin's eyes tilted somewhere.
"Ahem, everyone, please calm down. Professor Cheng, Vice President Tantai and I will be waiting for you here until the competition is over."
Ning Zhiyuan smoothed things over for Tantai Qin, and then he and Cheng Qingqing climbed onto the high platform side by side.
At this time, the leading instructors from major universities all went up to the high platform, leaving only the more than 200,000 participating students in the square.
From nowhere in mid-air, hundreds of cameras with different focal lengths and long and short focal lengths suddenly stretched out, aiming at the square below.
Seeing the broadcast cameras appearing, everyone in the square also realized that the Nine-Day War was about to begin, so they all became quiet and stood with their heads held high.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In the face of the nine-day competition that attracts much more attention than the Freshman Cup, I don’t know how many Chinese people are watching TV and the Internet at this moment.
The fog dissipated in the mid-air, and then three figures standing side by side appeared in everyone's eyes.
At this moment, not only in the square, but also in front of the TV, many people subconsciously clapped and cheered.
Just because these three people are all super bosses who often appear in the media.
Needless to say, Wu Wei, the Minister of Martial Arts, is in the middle, and Ma Gongzuo, the Minister of Education, is on the right. The dark-faced man on the left is unfamiliar to many people, but to students of military martial arts, he can recognize it at a glance.<
/p>
The boss of the military warriors, Wu Dinghou.
Although they didn't know each other, the opponent's military uniform and aura that belonged to a super strong man allowed many people to guess the opponent's identity immediately.
Among the nine heads of China's nine divisions, in order of strength alone, the Martial Arts Department and the Martial Arts Department must be the strongest. However, the remaining seven divisions, except for Ma Gongzuo, who is rumored to be slightly weaker, are generally held by princes.
Facing everyone's greetings, Wu Wei raised his hands and pressed them. Soon, the square returned to silence.
"Dear students, hello everyone, welcome to the main venue of this 'Jiu Tian', to participate in this unprecedented grand event held for the first time since the new era... the Nine Days Battle!"
Warm applause rang out again, and Wu Wei waited for a while before continuing to laugh.
"I'm not going to make any long opening remarks. As for the specifications of this event, there was already overwhelming publicity when it was launched half a year ago. I believe everyone already knows it."
"The only thing I want to say to you is..."
Wu Wei's face became serious, and he said slowly in Yaque's silence: "No matter how much you have overestimated the importance of this nine-day battle before, then please raise it to a higher level, because it is of great significance to most of you. For people, it is very likely that they will never encounter a second-class opportunity in their lifetime, so be sure to seize it!"
After Wu Wei finished speaking, he took a step back and nodded to Ma Gongzuo.
Ma Gongzuo stepped forward and took over the conversation. First of all, he introduced the list of people attending the ceremony today. Sure enough, at this moment, there were more than a thousand powerful people from the mountains and seas arriving on the high platform. In addition, there were more than four Ten princes have arrived.
The general public may be excited, but for the students at the scene, it is not bad, after all, they have been mentally prepared in advance.
And if you look into it carefully, I'm afraid there are many people present who have some kind of connection with the prince directly or indirectly.
Shen Qian listened to the list of princes. Among the princes he was familiar with, Uncle Pingyang and Uncle Luo Shen were here, as well as Duke Tianning, whom he had never met but already had a grudge against.
Duke Yanshang didn't come, but I don't know if the other party will pay attention to this competition in other ways.
After a while, Ma Gongzuo finished speaking in official terms, thanked Jiutian Group, the largest sponsor of the venue, and finally got to the topic that the participating geniuses were most concerned about.
"About the competition system..."
As soon as these four words came out, many people who were already distracted suddenly froze and listened attentively.
There have been divergent opinions on the competition system of the Jiutian Cup in the past six months. Ping Yangbo, the principal of Jiangzhong Military and Military, came out to inquire in person and got some information. Even so, it was vague, which shows its high level.
But it was not until this moment that its mysterious veil was finally unveiled.
"This Nine Heavens Battle, as the name suggests, is divided into nine heavens... Well, it is somewhat similar to the Nine Heavens Golden List that appeared a few days ago. From the first heaven to the ninth heaven, each heaven can be regarded as an independent unit. !"
"And the ultimate goal of each of you is the same, which is to ascend to the Nine Heavens!"
"The entrance to the Nine Kings Secret Realm is hidden in the Nine Heavens. Haha, I don't need to say more about what is in the Nine Kings Secret Realm..."
Wow!
For the first time since Ma Gongzuo spoke, there was a huge noise in the square where hundreds of thousands of people gathered.
What else can be found in the Nine Kings Secret Realm?
Of course it is the treasure left by the Nine Kings!
There really is a treasure of Nine Kings...
In fact, just before today, although there were rumors on the Internet, many people still couldn't believe it. Until now, when Ma Gongzuo personally confirmed it, many people fell into longing and excitement.
"Dare to ask Minister Ma!"
At this time, a figure suddenly emerged from the crowd, floated slightly, and asked loudly: "I wonder which first-generation king's treasure is hidden in the Nine Kings Secret Realm?"
"It's Sha Bi."
Both Shen Qian and Qu Bai recognized this person immediately.
The whole place fell silent. Although for most people, there was no difference, they still felt curious.
Magongzuo hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether to answer, when a faint laughter sounded from higher up.
"I can answer your questions."
The clouds parted, and a figure standing at the highest point with hands behind his hands was revealed to everyone.
But only the people at the scene could see this figure, and the people watching the live broadcast could only hear his voice, because no camera dared to focus on that person because they seemed to have some scruples.
He was a young man with two contradictory temperaments: youth and vicissitudes of life.
He was wearing civilian clothes, and although he was in the sight of everyone in the square, he seemed like an illusion, so unreal.
"At the beginning, King Jiangling suggested that the nine of us should leave some opportunities for future generations, so we each took out some treasures we acquired when we were young and stored them in a certain place, which is now what you call the Secret Realm of the Nine Kings. ”
"Time flies, it has been more than two hundred years, and this is the first time it has been opened."
The young man's voice is very faint, but it seems to ring in everyone's heart.
After a brief period of astonishment, Shen Qian and many people at the scene realized the identity of this person.
One of the nine kings of the first generation, the undisputed strongest man in the human race, King Zhou Yi!
After the shock, Shen Qian immediately captured the meaning of King Zhou Yi's words.
The secret realm of the Nine Kings is not a treasure left by any one person alone, but is owned by all nine Kings!
What an opportunity is this?
In just an instant, the whole square was boiling.
Any one of the Nine Kings would be shocked by the existence of the past and present, not to mention that when the treasures of the Nine Kings are gathered together, the huge temptation will make even the strong men of the mountains and seas go crazy for it, let alone the universal people are still there. Students in the martial arts stage.
After King Zhou Yi said these words calmly, his figure disappeared.
"Shen Qian, do you think what Minister Ma said is true? Those are the Nine Kings of the first generation. If someone can really get their treasures, wouldn't it be possible to become a prince?"
Li Jiaqi on the side said with bright eyes after a brief absence.
Shen Qian was about to nod, but he suddenly caught her idiom, but he smiled and said without caring, "It's hard to say how to become a prince, but if what King Zhou Yi said is true, then it shouldn't be a problem to easily step into the mountains and seas."
"King of Zhouyi?" Li Jiaqi was a little confused, "What King of Zhouyi?"
Shen Qian was startled and took a closer look to see if Li Jiaqi's expression was fake. His expression changed slightly and he turned to Ouyang Fei on the other side, "Have you seen King Zhou Yi?"
"Ah, has King Zhou Yi appeared?" Ouyang Fei perked up, "Where is it? On the high platform, where is it? Point me to it!"
Shen Qian seemed to have thought of something, and while his hair stood on end, he also looked at Qu Bai beside him.
Finally, he saw a different color in the eyes of Qu Bai, who was at a higher level.
And Qu Bai was just like him, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Their memory of King Zhou Yi's appearance seems to have been erased." Qu Bai's soft words also allowed Shen Qian to confirm that the scene just now was not his hallucination.
Shen Qian was silent for a while, then slowly exhaled a breath and murmured: "Is this the ability of the first generation king? What is this, the cause and effect hides itself?"
"What's even scarier is that maybe he didn't mean it..." Qu Bai smiled bitterly.
