More and more people arrived, and more and more disciples gathered at the Guangyao Mountain Martial Arts Field.
Some come up from the bottom of the mountain, and some take the cable car from the top of the mountain.
But none of the cable cars were sliding down from Shaozheng Peak where the disciples were, so it seemed that this road was not easy to travel either.
Wan Shuo was shocked and excited:
"Very interesting, then I'll see if I can survive your first round of greetings!"
Huh~
This guy...
Chu You looked at Wan Shuo, whose fighting spirit was rekindled, and was too lazy to care about him anymore. It turned out that these geniuses were unreasonable.
Anyway, we're here now. Once the task is completed, we can just go our separate ways.
"Oh~ Another person wants a meeting gift."
"It seems that they are stronger than the previous ones."
"Who knows, what if it looks good but is not useful?"
Several forces of energy came from the crowd, enveloping them.
boom!
His clothes were torn apart, revealing Wan Shuo's bronze muscle lines, full of power and beauty.
"Wow~ Brother is pretty good~"
"I really want to touch these muscles. It must feel very comfortable..."
"Sexy~"
"Hmm~ Just now I said he had an ordinary look, but with those muscles, he has an indescribable allure..."
As soon as the body-training maniac showed off his physique, most of the female disciples in the crowd couldn't help but comment on him, or even tease him, and they all seemed to be interested in Wan Shuo.
Not to mention, Wan Shuo, under the sword energy and knife power, was like a sharp blade, with his edge fully exposed.
"Huawu Realm..."
"Hmm~ Not bad."
"No wonder he dares to shout here. At this age, he must be quite talented in the Huawu realm..."
"Wow~ Not only does this little brother have a nice appearance and figure, but his cultivation level is also quite good!"
The attack was immediately successful.
Does this count as recognition of Wan Shuo?
The focus later on him will not be on his cultivation level, but on his talent.
And Wan Shuo was not a stubborn fool. After showing himself, he did not show up again like before.
But he was a little disappointed. It seemed that it did not meet his expectations. Even the crowd seemed to share the same sentiment.
"Huh! Is this kind of suicidal behavior considered a warm-up before the battle?" Looking at the situation that was completely different from before, Chu You couldn't help but mutter.
"This is considered a first display of talent! This is the battleground for the Earth Ranking, held every three years. The performance of the first-time disciples is astonishing enough. It is said that they can trigger the will of the Earth, thereby bestowing divine grace, physical training and marrow cleansing, and other miraculous behaviors. Therefore, the academy is happy to see this success."
A thin young man squeezed out of the crowd and explained the doubts to Chu You.
This guy is the information dealer I met a few days ago.
"Little brother Liu Xing, senior brother, we meet again."
He has a pretty good memory and recognized Chu You so quickly.
"You've seen me before, right? But I don't need any information. I'd better sell it to someone else."
Chu You refused clearly because he didn't want to be stuck with anyone anymore. As for what he said about showing off his talents and divine grace, whether it was true or not, it was none of Chu You's business.
What does such a show-off behavior have to do with him!
Unfortunately, his avoidance was completely useless against the familiar intelligence dealer.
"Brother, please don't be so exclusive. After all, we all belong to Qingshan Academy and are all junior disciples. We might need to take care of each other in the upcoming battle.
"Even if this isn't your first time participating, you can still be like those disciples who released their aura just now. As long as you perform well enough, you can also cause induction. Brother, don't you want to give it a try?"
Liu Xing deliberately instigated him, as if he knew Chu You was a little special, or simply wanted to see if he could attract God's favor.
If I could see it with my own eyes, that would be quite good information...
boom!
A huge amount of momentum burst out, but it was not from Chu You.
"Wow~ Another handsome guy..."
but……
"What a pity..." Liu Xing couldn't help but look disappointed.
Still no vision appeared.
The noise just now was made by Yin Tianzhao from Youxu Academy in District 5.
And Yin Tianzhao himself could not hide his disappointment.
With his cultivation level, even though there were many people at the scene and their cultivation levels varied, he could easily deal with simple sword and knife moves.
But that’s all.
"The Golden Body Realm is not enough... It seems that the Earth's will has high requirements for this generation of disciples..." He muttered softly.
A woman suddenly appeared on the central platform of the Martial Arts Square. She was still charming, but a little lazy.
"Don't be nervous~ I'm Yang Qiuyan, the vice president of Qingshan College, and I'll be the examiner for your first battle!"
Whisper softly, but everyone can hear it.
…
"Yang Qiuyan!"
"She is Void Flying Swallow!"
"Martial Emperor!"
"A master on the Heavenly Ranking..."
…
The disciples who had just turned around to watch because of the sudden appearance of another person in the field, started talking incessantly because of her words. They didn't expect to see the legendary Martial Emperor who roamed the void so soon.
There was a snap of fingers.
The invisible aura, like ripples, enveloped the entire venue, and the crowd, which had been noisy just now, became quiet in an instant.
Yang Qiuyan nodded and continued:
"Two hours have passed since the announcement began. Disciples who don't even have this much strength to travel quickly should wait for the next session!"
…
this……
In other words, only the 100,000 disciples present at the scene are officially considered to have participated in this competition. The other disciples who did not arrive were eliminated without even participating in the first round!
Although it was even more shocking than what had just been said, no one objected, not even a discussion, because this was reality.
From the time I received the mission until now, it was all preliminary tests before the official battle, and there was no question of whether I passed or not.
Yang Qiuyan sensed carefully for a moment, as if waiting for some signal, or as if communicating something.
"Okay, now that everything is clear, let's officially begin the 17th Earth Ranking Competition!
"First, the first round..."
As expected, it was divided into several rounds. Chu You understood this because he came for the first round.
"Just sense the will of the Earth right here in the martial arts arena. Without practicing any techniques, if you can achieve a resonance of spiritual energy within your body, you will pass the first round."
ha……
What's this?
Chu You thought that the first round would be a live brawl, or a teleportation to a secret realm, or a ring competition, etc.
The result was to sense the spiritual energy on the spot, but it was difficult...
"Now let's announce the rules for the first round..."
Yang Qiuyan snapped her fingers again, and the shadow of the formation pattern appeared under everyone's feet, and a warm feeling surged in everyone's heart.
But then thousands of academy instructors surrounded the training ground, making everyone feel nervous again.
"Rule One: The formation beneath your feet is a projection of the Earth's will. It helps you sense spiritual energy, but once you start practicing, this formation will instantly judge and eliminate you.
"Rule Two: No communication without permission. The three thousand instructors around here are keeping a close eye on you. If anyone is caught using spiritual energy while communicating, you will be eliminated.
"Rule Three: The time limit is two hours. Those who fail to trigger spiritual energy within the time limit will be eliminated.
"Rule Four: Stay in the spot to sense the resonance and do not leave the range of the formation, otherwise you will be eliminated.
"Alright, I wish you all good luck in the first round of competition. Your mission is complete once you pass. Now~ the timer begins!"
