After 10 chapters, there will be another 3 chapters!! I slept till dark, snore, and got up at 9 o'clock. Come on, keep writing!
…
On the day before the martial arts competition, Dragon Emperor Island welcomed the talented and powerful men from the 72 islands of Xuanyuan God's Tomb. Flying vehicles flew across the sea from afar and landed in the square. The geniuses from various islands walked proudly into the genius dormitory amid a crowd of people.
As more and more people came, Dragon Emperor Island became more lively. People dressed in various styles walking in the bustling downtown were quite conspicuous.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the Liushen Island in the Inland Sea!
In this vast inland sea, there are many powerful monsters lurking on the seabed. The weakest sea beasts are all king-level fighters! In this dangerous sea area, there are six islands, each of which is equivalent to five times the size of Wangyue Island. There are a large number of people on them, and they have built major cities and corresponding martial arts sects!
In the Gods' War Tournament held every six years, the battle for the Six Gods Island is the most intense!
With the arrival of dawn, the entire silent Dragon Emperor Island slowly revived. All the geniuses on the island, led by the administrator, headed to the highest sacred peak - Xuanyuan Peak!
"The battle fields of the 36 islands in the outer sea are at the foot of the mountain. The battle fields of the 30 islands in the middle sea are on the mountainside. The battle fields of the Liushen Islands in the inner sea are at the top of the mountain!"
The sturdy young administrator looked at Ye Chen, Huang Lu and others, "The rules of the competition are very simple. Everyone will fight three games. If you win two games, you will be considered successful! Then, after the first round of eliminations, the remaining 18 people will have another elimination game. The rules are the same. Three opponents will be randomly selected. If you win more than two games, you can advance!"
"The nine contestants who advance will enter the God Fighting Arena and earn points by hunting monsters. Finally, they will be ranked according to the points! The top six will be included in the Zhonghai Strong Series and participate in the Zhonghai Selection Battle!"
The young administrator looked at Ye Chen and the others and smiled, "Good luck to everyone. If you accumulate points and become the top three strong men in the 36 islands in the outer sea, you can get treasures as rewards!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. The treasures bestowed by Dragon Emperor Island must be extraordinary.
Ye Chen looked normal, he had no interest in the treasure, the only thing he cared about was the Xuanyuan Sword, this was the magic weapon that Sima Qian had recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian"!
At this point, the young administrator joked, "Geniuses, if you are lucky enough to get the top three places in the battle in the Central Sea, you can enter the Divine Power Pool of Dragon King Island to cleanse your muscles and bones and enhance your strength. In addition, you have a chance to be accepted by the major martial arts sects of the Six Gods Island in the Inner Sea. When you become a disciple of a famous teacher, your strength will definitely increase dramatically!"
The eyes of all the geniuses lit up. To them, the Six Gods Island in the Inner Sea was an unreachable existence. If they could join a large sect there, they would definitely have a bright future!
"Let's go!" Without saying anything more, the young administrator brought a group of strong men to the foot of the mountain. From a distance, they saw that the place was full of people, a sea of black, and extremely lively.
To watch the martial arts competition, one needs to pay a fee. The battle field at the foot of the mountain outside the sea has the lowest fee. Only the rich and powerful can afford to go to the top of the mountain to watch. Therefore, the largest number of people are at the foot of the mountain.
Surrounded by the crowd, there were three towering battle platforms, with a diameter of a hundred feet and extremely spacious.
Ye Chen and others, under the guidance of the administrator, came to the genius concentration area of 36 islands in the outer sea. There were nearly a hundred people standing here, and each of them had a white stone chair. When these geniuses looked at each other, they all revealed a hint of hostility. After all, these people were just teenagers under 18 years old, and their expressions could not hide their inner thoughts.
Ye Chen picked a chair at random and was about to sit down when a cold voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Get out of here, little dwarf! You are not qualified to sit next to me!"
Ye Chen turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a young man in a rat leather jacket. There was a murderous look between his brows and the corners of his mouth were upturned, making people feel as if he was being looked down upon.
Ye Chen took a glance and ignored him, sitting lazily on the stone chair, leaning against the back, folding his hands across his chest, and closing his eyes to rest.
"You!" The young man in rat skin was furious. He stood up and punched Ye Chen without caring about the consequences.
Bang!
Suddenly, a hand came over and clamped the fist of the young man in rat skin. Huang Lu's cold voice was filled with murderous intent, "Get out!"
The rat-skinned young man punched hard, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't break free. He fixed his eyes, looked at Huang Lu carefully, and said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!"
Huang Lu said sternly: "He is my elder brother and also my master. If you speak rudely to me again, I will make you get out of here on the ground!" During the three months of survival in the jungle, Ye Chen's calmness and quick and decisive methods of killing animals impressed him greatly. During this time, Ye Chen taught him many hunting skills, so in his heart, Ye Chen is a brother and a teacher!
Moreover, he was able to come here thanks to Ye Chen's help, so one can imagine how grateful he is.
The young man in rat skin snorted coldly and said, "Don't let me run into you on the martial arts stage later! Remember, I am Huang Han from Dongbo Island!"
"Wangyue Island, Huang Lu!" Huang Lu said coldly: "I hope you won't leave early!"
The two looked at each other, snorted coldly, and returned to their seats. The administrator in the distance saw this and shook his head with a bitter smile, "These little brats have really hot tempers."
As time passed, a bell rang...
Boom...
The sound spread throughout the room, and all discussions quieted down.
Then, a figure in white clothes and white hair descended from the sky, bringing with him a majestic pressure that made people feel respect and reverence. This was a white-haired old man, gentle and elegant, with a smile on his face. He looked around the audience, and everyone who was seen by his clear eyes subconsciously avoided him, as if they were ashamed of themselves!
When Ye Chen saw the old man, his eyes widened. The fact that he could stand in the air meant that he had reached the king level, awakened his talent, and controlled his strength. Moreover, there seemed to be a soft aura around him, which was a result of spiritual cultivation to an extremely high level!
"This person's state of mind has actually reached the level of a wise man! I wonder what level he is at?" Ye Chen thought to himself. His state of mind had reached the second level of a wise man, and all his mental strength was used to suppress the evil spirit in his body. Otherwise, he would look like a spring breeze and make people naturally feel good about him.
For example, the ancient Buddhas in the Taifo civilization, when their state of mind reaches the fifth level of a wise man or above, a light of wisdom will form behind their heads. This is a manifestation of great wisdom.
"Welcome everyone to the 72 Islands Martial Arts Competition held every six years. I hope all the geniuses can win the competition and give their best." The white-haired old man smiled and said, "The rules of the competition are as follows..."
"The contestants will be randomly selected by the temple and cannot be changed. Everything is based on fairness..."
"Next, the first match, Dongfeng Island, Huang Meini, versus Chongshan Island, Huang Suya!"
The white-haired old man finished speaking very simply, then waved his sleeves and retreated ten feet. A young man holding a yellow gun read out like an imperial decree: "The second match, Wangyue Island, Huang Zheng, vs. Tiansuo Island, Huang Ting!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The third match, Tianji Island, Huangmei, versus Yuxing Island, Huanglong!"
As soon as the words fell, six figures flew out from the genius rest area of 36 islands in the outer sea, and landed on a fighting stage in pairs, with three matches each time!
Boom...
The long bell rang, and on the martial arts stage, both sides held weapons and focused their attention. Each person had three chances and was only allowed to lose one!
As the battle began, the martial arts arena was filled with shouts of killing, and everyone rushed forward with weapons in hand. Some of the attacking moves were clumsy and methodical, while others were flexible, like poisonous snakes, and sparks flew everywhere.
Ye Chen took a glance, then closed his eyes and thought about his own things.
Below the martial arts stage, there was a cheer and everyone applauded enthusiastically.
"good!"
“Come on!”
"Hurry up, hurry up! You're quick!"
Amid the sea of cheers, in the VIP seats in the distance, there were seven or eight figures scattered around, all dressed in luxurious silk clothes. Some had defiant eyes, some were imposing, holding folding fans and waving them gently, and some were laughing and looking curious.
"Is this the person from the outer sea? So weak!" A young man in a straw hat looked at the arena, yawned, and felt a little helpless. He had a baby face and looked harmless.
Beside them, the others also looked indifferent and somewhat bored when seeing the battle on the martial arts stage.
"They are all sixth-level side dishes."
"I thought the outer sea was not much different from our middle sea, but now it seems that there is no threat at all."
"Hey, there's a seventh-level warrior?"
"Really? Yeah? Really, it seems that there are some weirdos in the outer sea."
Many people cast their eyes on Huang Zheng on the martial arts stage. At this moment, the latter was holding a sword, looking awe-inspiring. With one step, he forced his opponent into a corner. His arms were muscular, and he wielded the sword very flexibly, defeating the opponent in a few strokes.
"Wangyue Island, Huang Zheng, wins!" the referee recorded it and announced it loudly.
Huang Zheng held the sword in his hand and looked around the audience. He saw that all the onlookers were looking at him with admiration. Even the other geniuses in the outer sea genius rest area had solemn expressions.
He felt somewhat smug in his heart and glanced at Huang Lu provocatively. Seeing the latter's gloomy expression, he felt extremely happy. He turned his head to look at Ye Chen. This sight almost made him angry to death. He saw Ye Chen with his eyes closed, his chest heaving up and down. He actually, actually fell asleep?
The smile on Huang Zheng's face disappeared immediately. He glanced at me angrily and thought to himself, "Next time we meet, I will definitely take revenge! The lesson you taught me last time, I will teach you a lesson next time!"
After being defeated by Ye Chen last time, it was a huge blow to him, which made him practice even harder. Finally, when he arrived, he almost reached the seventh level of combat power!
As Huang Zheng stepped down, the young man holding the yellow list shouted, "Wangyue Island, Ye Chen, versus Liuyue Island, Huang Dong, please come on stage!"
