The man in the dragon robe standing at the highest point of the viewing platform is none other than the eldest prince of the current emperor of the Great Wu Kingdom, whose name is Huo Wuxuan.
"Everyone, please stand up."
Huo Wuxuan smiled gently and said:
"Today is the first day of the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament. Father should have been here to witness the opening match."
"Unfortunately, my father is ill and needs more rest for the next few days. Therefore, I am here to witness it in person on his behalf. I also want to appreciate the brilliance of the countless talented people in my Great Wu Kingdom."
The current emperor...is ill?
These words made the hearts of everyone present tremble violently.
Some first-rate sects residing in Wujing City had heard of this rumor a long time ago, but they had never dared to take it seriously.
But now, these words were spoken by the eldest prince himself...
Does that mean that a bloody and brutal fight for the throne is about to take place in Longjing Palace?
No wonder they have all heard that the seven princes under the current emperor seem to be trying to win over the four major sects.
Among them, the first Xieyan Sect seems to be determined to join the fifth prince Huo Wuliang.
The second and third largest sects, Bailian Tianfu and Xuanyang Pavilion, took refuge with the eldest prince Huo Wuxuan.
The remaining Yunhan Sect remained neutral and never made any statement.
As for the other princes, they can only choose to stand with one of them.
"Eunuch Yuan, you will be the host of this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament."
Huo Wuxuan chuckled and sat back in his seat.
“Yeah.”
An old man with a feminine face standing behind him bowed to receive the order, then flew up and landed lightly on the main battle stage.
He looked around and said loudly:
"My surname is Yuan, and my given name is Lang."
"I am honored to personally preside over this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament and witness the unrivaled demeanor of the young heroes of the Great Martial World."
"I won't say any more polite words. Next, I'll tell you the rewards for this year's Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament. Please listen carefully."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked serious and their minds were focused as never before.
Yuan Lang paused and continued aloud:
"Rewards have been arranged for the top five in this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament."
"The reward for the fifth-placed individual is the Spirit Martial Mysterious Armor."
"Ranked fourth, the reward is the Tianshu Secret Pill."
"Ranked third, the reward is..."
When Yuan Lang announced the rewards for the fifth to third place, exclamations suddenly rang out from the center of the entire Wuhou Island.
Whether it was the Lingwu Xuanjia or the Tianshu Secret Pill, the rewards for the last three were enough to make the vast majority of the Xuan practitioners present jealous.
Unfortunately, no matter which of these three rewards you want to get, you need to fight your way through more than a thousand young talents.
This is almost harder than climbing to the sky!
While everyone else was exclaiming in surprise at the rewards for the last three places, Lu Lan frowned slightly.
"Wasn't the reward for tenth place including Eight Meridian Gentian? How did it get reduced to only the top five?"
"Well... the information we get may not be accurate."
Li Xiao said, looking rather embarrassed.
Lu Lan didn't care too much about the inaccuracy of the information. He just hoped that the Dawu royal family would not cancel the Eight Meridians Gentian.
Soon, Yuan Lang announced the rewards for the second and first place.
"Ranked second, the rewards are the Liangyi Glazed Armor and the Eight Meridians Scrophulariaceae!"
"Ranked first, the rewards are Thunder Fire Green Ancient Wood and Xuanlian Golden Body Fruit!"
Upon hearing the rewards for the top two, Lu Lan's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid.
The second-ranked reward is Eight-Veins Scrophularia.
However, the first place prize is the Thunder Fire Green Ancient Wood and the Mysterious Refined Golden Body Fruit...
All three medicinal herbs he wanted were here!
Although he didn't know why the Eight Meridians Scrophulariaceae, which was originally the reward for the tenth place, was moved to the second place.
But none of that matters.
The important thing is that he must get the Thunder Fire Green Ancient Wood and the Xuanlian Golden Body Fruit!
As for the Eight-Veined Gentian...if the second place is Chu Tiantian, I can get it from her.
But if it wasn't Chu Tiantian, then he would find another way to exchange it from the other party.
Because compared to Eight-Veined Scrophularia, Thunder Fire Green Ancient Wood and Xuanlian Golden Body Fruit are more rare and have relatively better body refining effects.
Even the profound practitioners from the four major sects would definitely fight for it and get bloodied!
"I never thought the rewards for first and second place in this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament would be so luxurious..."
Jiang Yong'e said softly.
Qu Ningshuang turned to look at Chu Tiantian beside her and said:
"Are you going to help Lu Lan get that Eight Meridian Scrophulariaceae?"
"certainly."
Chu Tiantian said without hesitation: "I must help Brother Lu Lan get the Eight Meridians Gentian!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Ningshuang shook her head slightly and sighed helplessly.
Originally, their expectation for Chu Tiantian was to get first place.
However, even if Chu Tiantian can only rank second on the list, it will be a huge breakthrough for the Yunhan Sect.
Then let her be.
From this, we can see how much confidence Chu Tiantian’s existence has brought to the Yunhan Sect.
"The awards have been announced. Next, we will conduct age and profound strength tests, and draw the respective groups."
Yuan Lang said, "The age limit for the participating profound practitioners in this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament is between sixteen and twenty-two years old. Once you are over twenty-two years old, you will be directly expelled from this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament."
"Next, the contestant whose name has been called by our family, please come on stage."
"Sanyuan Sword Sect, Ling Jun, Mo Youhan, Luo Xinming..."
"Tiancang Mansion, He Nu, Zhou Yiyong, Chang Tianwei..."
The forces that Yuan Lang announced at this stage were all the sect forces that failed to participate in the previous Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament but participated in this Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament.
The Lingjian Sect is naturally among them.
After a while, Yuan Lang happened to read out the list of the Spirit Sword Sect's battle roster:
"Feng Ziluan, Mo Shang, Du Qihao, Shang Wenyi, Lu Lan."
Lu Lan and others began to step onto the main battle stage one after another.
Their appearance did not attract many people's attention.
Until Feng Ziluan started the first test of age and profound strength.
Feng Ziluan placed his hand on the mysterious stone, and the mysterious stone immediately sensed something.
"Feng Ziluan, 19 years old, level 2 of the True Profound Realm!"
"Mo Shang, twenty years old, True Profound Realm Level Two!"
"Du Qihao, 20 years old, True Profound Realm Level 1..."
Before Lu Lan's name was announced, the first four disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect were all at the early stage of the True Profound Realm!
This result caused many sects of the same level as the Lingjian Sect to exclaim in surprise.
Because among the sects of the same level as the Lingjian Sect, they only have one or two strongest disciples who have reached the first level of the Zhenxuan Realm.
However, the Lingjian Sect actually had four members who were all in the True Profound Realm!
Did the Spirit Sword Sect have some kind of noble help? The younger generation's advancement was so dramatic!
When Lu Lan placed his hand on the Mysterious Stone...
"Lu Lan, seventeen years old, True Profound Realm Level Three!"
