This is a huge venue that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators at the same time.
The third and final stage of hunting in the imperial city takes place in this fighting arena.
In fact, it’s not just this session...
Every imperial city hunt of the Tianyan Dynasty is generally divided into three stages. The competition rules for the geniuses in the first two stages are different and will change frequently. However, the hunting in this final stage has almost never changed.
Pass.
This final stage of hunting relies purely on strength, a one-on-one decisive battle!
Moreover, among the three stages of hunting, the first stage hunting process will not be made public, and the second stage hunting will only allow those powerful people from big forces and big sects to come and watch.
Only this final third stage of hunting is absolutely open to the public.
In the imperial city, countless high-ranking officials and nobles, including civilians, can enter the fighting arena to watch as long as they can purchase tickets.
At this moment, the auditorium of this fighting arena was densely packed with people.
When the thirty-six geniuses who advanced to the third stage of hunting appeared in the open space in the center of the venue under the guidance of others, the entire venue instantly erupted into an uproar.
Countless eyes are focused on these thirty-six geniuses.
Several of them have attracted even more attention.
"That's Xia Mang, right? He should be the strongest in this hunt. I heard that he is a member of the royal family."
"The top three are certain, but the strongest may not be so. After all, until the last moment, who knows whether these geniuses have any hidden strength."
"I think Xia Mang is the strongest. Looking at him like that, it's obvious that he doesn't care about the other geniuses present."
Countless eyes were looking at Xia Mang, who was standing there in the center of the venue with a cold and arrogant face and a hint of domineering.
Being stared at by that many people, Xia Mang's expression did not change at all.
"Look, that great monk is Wu Chao. He is barefoot and smiling. He feels so friendly."
"That must be Duan Yunfeng. I heard that his sword skills are extremely powerful."
Geniuses are recognized one by one.
"Where's Su Xin? Among the geniuses below, which one is Su Xin?"
"Over there, that man in black clothes and holding a sword is. Look at his appearance. He is too young. I heard that he is only nineteen years old this year. In terms of strength, among all the geniuses in this hunting session, except for Xia Mang
, I’m afraid no one dares to say that they can definitely defeat him.”
"You are so young, you have such strength..."
There are also many people paying attention to Su Xin.
With the end of the second phase of the hunt, Chilong Tower announced the latest genius information, not only to the many geniuses who participated in the hunt, but to everyone. Therefore, the audiences who came to watch the final phase of the hunt,
Everyone also knows the information about the top talents in this hunt.
Geniuses like Xia Mang, Su Xin, Tu San, Wu Chao, and Duan Yunfeng, who are the most powerful and have top ten combat capabilities, naturally attract a lot of attention.
Among the geniuses on the field, Su Xin is the youngest and has the lowest cultivation level, but he is also the best in terms of strength, so he attracts special attention.
"There are too many people here."
Su Xin couldn't help but sigh to himself when he looked at the swarming crowd and the huge noise.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in one venue, it was so lively.
After all, Su Xin is a child of a big family. Although he is young, he still has some experience and can adapt to it.
But there were some geniuses from various states and counties on the field, but they were obviously nervous.
Su Xin looked around and was also watching some geniuses.
Xia Mang's expression was indifferent, with a hint of arrogance, as if no genius other than him could be taken seriously by him.
It wasn't until Su Xin looked at him that Xia Mang looked back, with a hint of fighting intent in his eyes.
"Want to fight me?"
Su Xin smiled and looked at the great monk Wu Chao again.
Wu Chao kept smiling, giving people an extremely gentle and friendly feeling. When he noticed Su Xin's gaze, Wu Chao clasped his hands together, smiled at Su Xin, and performed a Buddhist salute.
"My cultivation has reached the perfection of sea transformation, and my strength has skyrocketed. Among the thirty-six geniuses who have now reached the final stage, the only one who can still make me feel threatened is the great monk Wu Chao besides Xia Mang.
." Su Xin gave Wu Chao a serious look.
For some reason, he always felt that this great monk was more terrifying than Xia Mang.
In the second stage of hunting, it seemed that he and Xia Mang performed best, but he later learned that the great monk did not try his best and only made it to the fourteenth round, then deliberately lost.
Apart from these two people, the remaining geniuses...
Although Tu San was powerful, Su Xin was absolutely sure of winning.
As for Duan Yunfeng... Until now, Duan Yunfeng has hidden a lot of strength, and Su Xin has only seen him perform one unique move. If he had not made a breakthrough in cultivation, Su Xin would not have been sure of victory, but now, he
He is sure to defeat Duan Yunfeng.
At this time, Su Xin's eyes were fixed on one person in vain.
His eyes immediately turned cold.
And this person is none other than Situ Yu!
"Su Xin!"
Situ Yu also looked at Su Xin with a gloomy face.
The two people's eyes met, with astonishing murderous intent in their eyes.
The Su family and the Situ family have a feud that will never end.
As the top geniuses of their respective families, both of them were destined to die.
Now that my enemies meet, they are extremely jealous!
If this wasn't a hunt in the imperial city, but somewhere else or on other occasions, the two of them would definitely kill each other immediately.
"I hope that in the final stage of hunting, you and I will have the opportunity to fight one-on-one." Su Xin said, his voice was not loud, but Situ Yu still heard it.
"Humph, we'll see!"
Situ Yu just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures suddenly appeared on the high platform in front of the venue, near the center.
These two people are a man and a woman.
The man is an old man in green clothes. He has a thin face and a delicate beard. He obviously has a smile on his lips, but he looks a bit cold.
As for the woman, she is a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. Although this beautiful woman has reached a certain age, her figure and appearance are still very good, and her charm is still there, especially her bright red lips, which are extremely seductive. Every move she makes seduces people.
Seize the soul.
The appearance of these two people immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"It's the Palace Master Qingyang and the Palace Master Diyue of Tianyan Palace."
"According to convention, at the last stage of each hunting session, Tianyan Palace will send a palace master to watch in person, but this time they actually sent two at the same time?"
"The masters of the Tianyan Palace are said to be top experts in the Nirvana Realm!"
There was a lot of discussion and exclamation in the venue.
Many high-ranking officials and nobles, including powerful men from various forces and sects, such as Elder Mo from the Tianye Sect, stood up and saluted respectfully when they saw the two palace masters appear.
The thirty-six geniuses standing in the center of the venue, except for Wu Chao, all raised their heads and looked at the two palace masters with fiery eyes.
They came to participate in the hunting in the imperial city, and their ultimate goal was to join Tianyan Palace.
"Qingyang, the level of hunting geniuses this year is much higher than the previous ones."
"It needs to be better. If not, there would be no need for you and me to come at the same time."
The two palace masters of Tianyan Palace sat down in their respective seats and chatted.
"Um?"
The beautiful woman, Emperor Yue Palace Master, suddenly changed her expression and looked towards a corner of the venue, "That person is actually here too?"
Palace Master Qingyang also followed his gaze and immediately saw in an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium at the venue, a man in gray clothes sitting there with his chin in his hands, tapping the armchair leisurely.
"He's actually sitting there?"
The Lord of Diyue Palace had a strange look on his face. With his identity, he was fully qualified to sit with them.
Although she didn't understand, the Emperor of the Moon Palace still smiled at the other party and said hello.
The man in gray also nodded slightly.
As for the Master of Qingyang Palace, he also wanted to say hello with a smile, but the man in gray didn't even look at him and turned away.
Palace Master Qingyang suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"Haha~~ Qingyang, it seems that you disgraced him last time, and he is very resentful towards you now." Palace Master Diyue smiled.
"I'm not saying that you, as this person, personally came to my Tianyan Palace to recommend you. You have to give me some face. What's more, the Su Xin he recommended is indeed very talented and has completely reached the level of our Tianyan Palace.
Yan Palace’s special recruitment requirements.”
"Look now, this person who has such a big opinion on you, and Su Xin who he recommended, has come to participate in the hunting in the imperial city, and will almost certainly break into the top ten and enter our Tianyan Palace. I heard that in the second stage of hunting, then
Su Xin relied on his defensive swordsmanship to survive the sixteenth round of attacks from the Tianxin Realm, which is simply unbelievable."
"Okay, stop talking." The Master of Qingyang Palace waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I admit that I underestimated Su Xin's talent. I didn't expect that in just over two months, his progress would be so outrageous.
But at that time, he did barely meet the special recruitment requirements of our Tianyan Palace, and he had been personally punished by His Majesty, so it was appropriate not to give him a special recruitment quota."
"Oh, is it really just like that?" Palace Master Diyue glanced at Palace Master Qingyang with interest.
We are both in the Tianyan Palace, and we are both palace masters. There are some things that Palace Master Diyue is like a mirror in her heart, but she has never said it explicitly.
At this time...
"Your Majesty is here!"
A sharp sound cut through the sky and resounded throughout the entire venue.
Suddenly, this huge fighting arena, which was originally extremely noisy, immediately became quiet the next moment.
Under everyone's gaze, a middle-aged man wearing royal robes and a mustache walked to the majestic throne in the center of the high platform of the venue.
Immediately, everyone on the scene, including the two Tianyan Palace Palace Masters, stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The voice was loud.
"Emperor Tianyan."
Su Xin also saluted respectfully and couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man in imperial robes above.
It was this Emperor Tianyan who ordered him to be imprisoned in the Demon Forbidden Prison for three years.
Despite this, Su Xin did not hold any grudge against Emperor Tianyan.
After all, his absence from the battle three years ago really disappointed everyone, including Emperor Tianyan, who was also looking forward to this battle and came to watch it in person.
Emperor Tianyan only imprisoned him in the Demon Forbidden Prison instead of executing him on the spot, which was actually a gift.
Moreover, when the ancestor of the Su family died and the Su family encountered the greatest crisis, it was Emperor Tianyan who gave the Su family a chance to marry the Ninth Princess, but he failed to grasp it.
This Emperor Tianyan has shown his utmost benevolence and righteousness to the Su family.
The Su family, including Su Xin himself, had no complaints against the Emperor Tianyan.
"Get back on your feet." Emperor Tianyan raised his hand.
Everyone stood up.
An internal official came to Emperor Tianyan with a jade plate. On the jade plate were jade signs with the genius's name written one after another.
There are thirty-six jade lots in total, corresponding to the thirty-six geniuses who have entered the third stage of hunting.
"In the one-on-one decisive battle at the final stage of each hunting session, the order in which these geniuses play is usually determined by the top management of Chilonglou through strength analysis and comparison. Only the first battle, the opening battle, is personally selected by His Majesty.
The two are fighting, and I wonder which two geniuses His Majesty will choose as the opening battle this time."
Everyone at the venue was looking forward to it.
Emperor Tianyan glanced at the jade sticks at random, picked out two jade sticks, and handed them to the internal officials.
The internal official took the jade sign to the center of the venue and handed it to the purple-haired old man who was in charge of the hunt.
After the purple-haired old man saw it, his majestic voice echoed throughout the school grounds.
"The third stage of hunting, one-on-one decisive battle!"
"The first match: Su Xin versus...Situ Yu!"
Su Xin and Situ Yu, who were standing in the center of the venue, immediately raised their heads when they heard this.
There was even more excitement and surprise in Su Xin's eyes.
"I just said that I hope to have a chance to meet this Situ Yu in the one-on-one duel in this final hunt, but I didn't expect to meet him right away."
“And it’s the first one, the first battle!!”
Su Xin couldn't help but clench his hands, and his eyes became sharp and cold.
"Situ Yu...this decisive battle is over three years late. I, Su Xin, am here!"
