The letter that Shen Chen handed over quickly spread among the crowd. The moment many people saw the three names on the letter, they all had the urge to vomit blood. Seeing the three inner sects His name was so popular among his disciples that everyone thought they had an illusion in their eyes.
Yuan Xiao, ranked third among the inner disciples, has never been shaken by anyone since he took up this position.
Fang Han, known as a golden sword, has been running through the inner sect for seven years. From an unknown disciple, he has swept all the way to the second place in the inner sect. He is unstoppable. The disciples of Liuyun Sect have not seen his golden sword unsheathed for many years. .
Qi Zheng... Regarding this influential figure who is known as the God of War of the Liuyun Sect, the entire sect has only four words to comment on him - never defeated! His ranking as the number one in the inner sect has never been challenged by anyone in the past three years. .
There is no other reason. In the battle three years ago, Qi Zheng fought one against five and defeated five outstanding disciples ranked from seventh to eleventh in the inner sect at the same time. It was too shocking. Since then, many Members of the Liuyun Sect vaguely feel that Qi Zheng's strength is probably enough to rank in the top ten of the entire Liuyun Sect. Apart from the sect master, the five elders, and several hall masters, even many senior figures are no match for him. Qi Zheng is also regarded by many as the perfect candidate to succeed Liao Yan as the head of the clan...
Obviously, no matter who these three people are, their names are too loud in Liuyun Sect and even within a hundred miles. Even though many young disciples who have been down the mountain for many years have returned this time, in the eyes of most disciples, The status of these three people is still difficult to shake.
But now, the appearance of Shen Chen, a strange flower, completely overturned the perception of Liuyun Sect members. At first, everyone thought that he was just trying to impress people, but they didn't expect that this kid... actually wanted to challenge the top rankings in one go. Three senior brothers of three!
Isn't this too ambitious and too ambitious? All the disciples present, including some deacons, general managers, and hall masters, didn't know what to say. People even held their breath, wanting to see how the sect master would handle it. Such a funny scene.
"Sect Master Liao, could it be that he is old and blind? That young man's cultivation is not only at the fifth level of the Blood Melting Realm?"
At the VIP table, a group of dignitaries from a hundred miles away who came to watch were all shocked. The white-haired head of the Zhao family even looked at Liao Yan aside and asked in a probing tone.
"Could it be that at such a young age, this young man has the magical power to hide his aura? If that's true, then I can only be shocked." The old woman of the Feng family was also sighing. Shen Chen takes him very seriously, but if the latter is really that powerful now, they and others may have to take another look at that young man.
"It's true that a hero comes from a young age. Sect Leader Liao is so lucky to have such an outstanding disciple. I envy me." On the side, a strong man with a beard and a horse gang congratulated Liao Yan directly.
"Ahem...I'm afraid you have misunderstood. That boy's current cultivation level is really...at the fifth level of the Blood Melting Realm. It's true!" Sect Master Liao Yan's face has already been twisted, the corners of his mouth are twitching, and his hair is all over. The black lines made him look like he was suppressing some kind of impulse.
However, the old monsters around him, instead of correcting their understanding after hearing his sworn explanation, they all nodded secretly, with a "we understand" look.
Liao Yan was about to vomit blood. He simply didn't bother to pay attention to these old guys who were just following the wind. He turned his eyes to one side, stared at Shen Chen and gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Chen, do you know the rules of the sect competition?"
"After ranking fifth, wouldn't it be natural to challenge the top three?" Under the ring, Shen Chen looked innocent.
"Huh! That's not what I'm talking about. Don't you know that you can only choose one opponent at a time?" Liao Yan was already resisting the urge to rush up and beat him up.
"I know," Shen Chen nodded seriously, but before everyone around him could breathe a sigh of relief, he added, "So I used my three challenge opportunities at once!"
"..." Sect leader Liao Yan was shocked, and his whole body turned to stone in an instant.
Under the arena, there was silence for a moment.
On the stage, Elder Situ Chuan, the one-eyed black tiger who was relatively more sophisticated, could no longer stand it. He waved his sleeves and his skinny wrists suddenly popped out from under his robes. In the blink of an eye, he didn't know what happened. The letter that was delivered to whichever corner had already appeared in the old man's hand.
The old man's move of searching the bag to retrieve the object can be said to be a vivid expression of his tyrannical cultivation at the eleventh level of the Blood Fusion Realm. The outer disciple in the crowd who had just received the letter had not recovered his senses, but the object in his hand was gone. And flew away.
However, Situ Chuan was no longer interested and was secretly proud. He closed his fingers and the letter was crumpled into a ball in his hand, and then turned into ashes. The old man then said calmly: "This letter does not count, I allow you to Select your next opponent as your senior brother Yuan Xiao. If you dare to make trouble unreasonably again, your boy’s qualification for the competition will be directly disqualified!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him was startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha……"
Many people were feeling very happy, and they were all enjoying the misfortune. Obviously, the old man's simple and crude handling method made them feel a little bit bad.
Regarding this, Shen Chen was helpless under the ring. He was cursing the people in this continent for sticking to the rules and not knowing how to adapt, but on his face, he had to smile and said: "Well, I will obey Elder Situ's arrangements!"
After Shen Chen made such a fuss, the originally tense and intense atmosphere at the last moment of the competition suddenly became much more relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Deacon Fei breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward, looked around and said: "Okay, the second round of the competition has begun. The first challenger is Cai Lei, the inner disciple who is currently ranked fifty-eighth. Your challenge. There are two of them, namely Jia Bowen, who is currently ranked fifty-ninth, and Hua Chong, who is ranked sixty-one!"
As Deacon Fei's voice fell, a new round of competition began again. In this round, many people have already started competing for their favorite rankings, and the scene is very exciting!
In fact, the real action starts from the second round. When most disciples choose their opponents, they will no longer do whatever they want like in the first round. Instead, they will try their best to choose brothers who they have a chance to defeat. There won't be too much of a difference in ranking between them.
After all, fists and kicks have no eyes, and if you really show your strength, when it comes to defending the top ranking, the challenger will usually strike harder. If you have a strong eye but a weak hand, you may stand up and be carried down in the end.
Because of this, compared with the first round, the number of challengers faced by the champion in this round is even rarer, and byes are more frequent. The disciples who can make it into the top fifty, which one is not a tough one, are often a few years apart. There is a huge disparity in ranking and strength, and no one will risk their lives easily.
From this level, it is enough to explain why Shen Chen's previous actions caused such a sensation. For people who really want to challenge the rankings, a tough battle is too much. But he is good. He wants to swallow three elephants with one mouthful. , don’t worry about supporting yourself to death, and don’t care about other people’s feelings at all...
In such a fierce competition, as time goes by, the rankings below 20 gradually have the final winner, and most of those winners have chosen to give up the opportunity to continue the challenge in the next round. It took a lot of energy for the young people, and even their bodies were stained in many places, and they were bleeding, and it was difficult to stand on the stage.
"The next challenger is Liu Feng, who is currently ranked seventeenth, and your challenger is He Pengtao, who is ranked eighteenth." Deacon Fei announced unhurriedly, and then two more young people in their twenties appeared. Standing on the stage.
"Senior Brother Liu Feng, it's been a full year since the last time we competed. Junior brother, what I want to say is... it's time to move your ass." A young man named He Pengtao looked at He had a cynical look on his face, and as soon as he got on stage he started to take advantage of his opponents.
"Haha, let's come up with some new tricks and have a look. This position is very comfortable. Senior brother, I don't want to get out of the way." Liu Feng, who was wearing a silver robe, did not show weakness. He looked slightly older than He Pengtao. At almost twenty-one or twelve years old, there is no reason to shrink back.
Soon, the confrontation between the two began. It seemed that the two of them had already understood each other tacitly. As soon as they started, all kinds of tricks to win the battle came to the fore quickly, without any trace of ink.
"The hand that cracks the monument can move a thousand pounds with four ounces!"
"Gravel palm, the snake comes out of the cave!"
…
The duel between the two quickly became intense. As the higher-ranked disciples, the two of them were not weak in cultivation, and their martial arts skills were even more proficient. It seemed that senior brother Liu Feng was more proficient in his moves. But the methods are not as many as Peng Tao's.
Under the ring and around the square, everyone was watching intently. Such exciting competitions were rare.
"Brother, look at which one of them has a better chance of winning. I think Senior Brother Liu Feng is very experienced, and that boy named He should not be his opponent." Wang Yue was also watching the battle carefully at this time. He grabbed one of Shen Chen's arms. , couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.
"I don't think so. Liu Feng is indeed stable enough, but I feel that he is too conservative. If that kid has any powerful trump cards, he will easily suffer losses." Shen Chen shook his head. He noticed that although He Pengtao had always been at a disadvantage, he was vaguely aware of the situation. But he was deliberately hiding his clumsiness for a while, as if he was waiting for an opportunity.
Soon, Shen Chen's suspicion came true. Just when Liu Feng forced He Pengtao to the edge of the ring and was about to punch him down, the latter's body suddenly softened, and then his whole body looked like a swimming snake. Ban got under Liu Feng's crotch, and immediately slapped Liu Tao on his back with a palm, pushing Liu Tao down.
"This time, He Pengfei won and successfully replaced Liu Feng in the seventeenth place!" Liu Tao landed in embarrassment, and Elder Situ Chuan announced the result calmly.
"Good boy, you have actually mastered the human-level martial arts skill "Wandering Snake Step" on the third floor of the Library Pavilion. I admit defeat this time!" Liu Feng deserves to be the one who has stayed in the door for a relatively long time. A group of people, quite free and easy, stood up, patted the dust on their bodies, and then stepped aside without any entanglement.
After He Pengtao stepped off the stage, he soon laughed and scolded him. The two seemed to have a good relationship.
Seeing this scene, Shen Chen's heart was slightly shaken. When he first came to Liuyun Sect, he was often picked on by others, so that he lacked a sense of belonging to this sect. However, as time went by, gradually, Shen Chen also saw something other than darkness. The actions of the sect leader Liao Yan and others moved him even more. He had unknowingly slowly recognized this sect instead of just the sect at first. In order to temporarily escape the helpless move of vendetta...
Shen Chen secretly thought to himself that the battles in the arena also started one after another. However, to determine the winner, as the ranking of the champion became higher and higher, the excitement of the competition also impacted the surroundings time and time again. Everyone's nerves.
However, what is surprising is that this atmosphere did not last until the end of the competition. When the tenth ranking of the inner sect was settled, Deacon Fei's eyes froze slightly at the next moment.
He glanced at the small book in his hand again with strange eyes. After confirming that it was correct, he finally raised his head and announced with a slightly twitching voice: "The next round of challengers... Shen Chen, your challengers total... ten Seven, according to the rules, these seventeen disciples must compete first, and in the end only five of them can fight against Shen Chen!"
As soon as Deacon Fei finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and there was a few breaths of dead silence.
"Hahaha, retribution is coming..."
After a few breaths, the people present, whether they were sect disciples or elders in the sect, suddenly burst into roaring laughter. Many people were laughing wildly, even though they had vaguely guessed that it would be like this. However, when Deacon Fei announced the result, everyone still had the urge to laugh and bend their waists.
And in a corner under the ring, Shen Chen's innocent face of fifteen or sixteen years old was instantly twisted together, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
Wang Yue on the side rebelled for the first time and took a few steps back dejectedly, pretending not to recognize him.
This made Shen Chen even more angry and funny. His little face turned upside down, and immediately, in front of everyone, he jumped to the side of the old man Situ Chuan on the ring. He suppressed laughter and glanced around. .
"Seventeen senior brothers want to challenge me, right? Well, I, Shen Chen, will take it!"
The next moment, a strange voice that could not be heard as angry or teasing came out from Shen Chen's mouth word by word.
