The day for the inner sect disciples' ranking competition has finally arrived. New City, a city that has been silent all this time, seems to have been injected with vitality all of a sudden.
On the broad street, you can often see some inner sect disciples coming and going. They gathered here today to go to a common destination, which is the secret realm of the martial arts field located in the western suburbs of the new city.
Zhan Chen came here for the first time. From a distance, he saw a circular venue with a height of more than 50 meters and an area of nearly 30,000 square meters. It was located in the center of a vast open space. A large number of inner sect disciples were coming from
People from all over the place are converging towards that building one after another.
"It seems that that's where the inner sect disciple ranking competition will be held. I'm going to come out on top here today!" Zhan Chen thought to himself, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After entering the venue, Zhan Chen went to the registration office on the side to get his challenge number. He was assigned the number one thousand five hundred and forty-five, which was a middle number. In fact, there were three people who signed up for this challenge.
More than a thousand people, that is to say, nearly 10% of the inner sect disciples will compete fiercely here.
Of course, there are definitely more than 3,000 people who come here. Many people come here to watch the battle and gain experience for future victories.
Walking into the venue, Zhan Chen saw many portals flashing in the huge space, ten in total. There were signs at the door of these portals, marking numbers one to ten, which would lead to different venues.
In other words, once the qualifying starts, there will be ten games taking place at the same time.
But these arenas are open, that is, spectators can freely travel between the ten arenas and choose their favorite matchup to enjoy.
A huge fluorescent screen hangs high on one wall of the venue, which displays the arrangements for the upcoming games, including the information about the contestants and which arena they will compete in.
At this time, almost everyone gathered quietly in front of the screen, because the duelists in each game were random, and after a duel ended, the information on the screen would change immediately.
There will be new contestant names filled in.
Another fluorescent screen hung on the other wall of the venue, which displayed the rules of the ranking match, the referees for each match, and the rewards for the winners. Zhan Chen walked over and took a look at the challenge.
The first place can actually get 100 million merit points. Merit points are a good thing. They can be exchanged for anything in the inner sect, including Taoist tools, elixirs, exercises, and entering the cultivation tower to practice.
"One hundred million merit points! Even for these merit points, I am determined to win the first place!" Zhan Chen secretly clenched his fists.
The second and third place can get 50 million merit points, the fourth to tenth place can get 30 million merit points, and the 11th to 1,000th place can get 5 million merit points.
The elders who finally came here to watch the game will not appear directly in the stadium. They sit in the private room on the second floor to watch the game. There is not only a unique spiritual formation there, but also the real-time battles of ten games can be transmitted at the same time. After the game is over,
, those elders will find the rookies they are optimistic about and offer them an olive branch, and those rookies will hopefully become the registered disciples of these elders. Of course, there are many disciples in the inner sect who have already become disciples of the elders in the sect.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but look at the ceiling above his head, and murmured: "As long as I can win first place in this competition, some elders from the Xu family will definitely come to visit me. By then, I hope to meet Yanyan."
Already."
At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman in white clothes walking into the hall. Everyone who saw her started talking about her.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but be curious and pricked up his ears to listen. He had the magical power of listening and could quickly hear clearly what people in the distance were talking about.
One person said: "Did you see it? That's Sai Feixia, Senior Sister Sai, who won first place in the last ranking competition. I'm afraid she will take first place again this time!"
Another person said: "Well, it's really hard to say this time, because no one knows where another dark horse will emerge, and besides, the second-placed brother Kong De is not an ordinary person."
"Yes, isn't this the case in every ranking competition?"
At this moment, a third person came over and said: "Hey, your news is out of date. The winner of the game this time is neither Sai Feixia nor Kongde, but someone else."
"
"Oh? Are you talking nonsense? You already know the result before the game starts?"
"Don't worry, listen to what I have to say. As far as I know, two direct descendants of the top ten families will participate in this ranking match."
"Isn't that wrong? Why do our direct descendants come here to compete with us? They all grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have everything they want, and why do they still come here to compete with us?"
"Hey, those two people are Xu Liyan from the Xu family and Li Shaobai from the Bai family. The reason for their participation is said to be a gambling battle."
…
"What! Xu Liyan and Li Shaobai are coming to compete!" This news was nothing less than a bombshell for Zhan Chen. He quickly turned around and searched in the crowd, hoping to find Xu Liyan, but he couldn't find it.
any trace.
Just when he was restless, a red figure appeared at the door, and Zhan Chen immediately recognized the person as Xu Liyan!
Zhan Chen couldn't restrain his excitement when he saw the beauty again after saying goodbye. He walked up directly and called out: "Yan - Xu Liyan." He originally wanted to call her by her nickname, but there were too many people in the hall at this time.
, if you call it that, it will definitely attract others’ attention and speculation.
Xu Liyan also discovered Zhan Chen almost at the same time. Her eyes were shining and the corners of her mouth were twitching. She was obviously very excited, but both of them tried their best to restrain themselves.
Xu Liyan adjusted her emotions a little, then showed what she thought was a decent smile and said: "Zhan Chen, long time no see -"
"Yeah, it's been too long!" Zhan Chen said meaningfully. After a pause, he asked curiously: "Why did you come to participate in the competition?"
"I -" Xu Liyan was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, her eyes moved to the door, where Li Shaobai's figure appeared.
Li Shaobai saw Zhan Chen and Xu Liyan together at a glance. Thinking of Xu Liyan's recent indifference to him, he suddenly became furious. He walked over quickly and said to Zhan Chen: "Okay, Zhan Chen, I finally see you again."
, do you know? How long have I been looking for you, but you disappeared like a nasty mouse after burrowing into the ground. I thought you had run away and never dared to come back. I never thought that today, you would ask me again.
Saw you!"
Zhan Chen immediately understood that the reason why he said these words was probably because Li Jun Yuanshen ran back to explain to him that he killed five of his men in succession, so he smiled and asked: "How is Li Jun?"
?”
Li Shaobai's face turned livid and he murmured: "Zhan Chen, if I want to kill you, it will be as easy as crushing an ant."
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said confidently: "I will not die. I will completely defeat you here today. Do you believe it?"
"Defeat me? Just you? Do you know what you are talking about? You only have an intermediate level of cultivation, how can you defeat me?" Li Shaobai said word by word.
"Zhan Chen——" Xu Liyan was also looking at him with a worried look on her face, obviously worried about him.
Zhan Chen gave her an encouraging look, then looked at Li Shaobai and said, "The competition is about to start. It won't take long for you to know why."
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shaobai's eyes, and he said: "Do you want to use your spirit beast? I advise you not to have any illusions. The rules of the ranked battle do not allow the use of spirit beasts."
Zhan Chen knew that he was talking about Cai Yuexin, so he replied: "Of course I know, I can still beat you to the ground without a spiritual beast. In this competition, I will not be afraid of anyone!"
Li Shaobai showed an evil smile and said to Xu Liyan: "Yanyan, is this the man you like? Not only does he have no strength, but his brain is also burned out."
Xu Liyan looked at him coldly and did not answer.
Li Shaobai said harsh words to Zhan Chen again: "Zhan Chen, you are dead this time, don't try to escape again!" After saying this, he took several of his followers and left.
Seeing him walking away, Xu Liyan asked worriedly: "Zhan Chen, are you okay? I know you are doing it for me, but why do you show up now? This makes it difficult for me - in fact, I can solve everything.
That’s it.”
Zhan Chen patted her shoulder and sent a message to her: "Yanyan, believe me, your man is very strong and will not lose to anyone."
At this moment, a loud voice came from the hall: "Everyone, please pay attention. Disciples participating in the first round of competition are now asked to enter each arena quickly. The competition will officially start in a quarter of an hour!"
