As everyone looked in the direction of the commotion.
All the surrounding spiritual energy was converging towards one place.
At the center of the spiritual energy was a handsome man.
"Damn! Lin Xiao, how is he so powerful? What kind of technique is this? The speed at which he absorbs spiritual energy is too fast!"
"Damn it, this is cheating! How can we meditate and recover if he does this? So what if he's the true inheritor of the First Lineage?!"
“... ... ..."
At this moment, everyone who looked at Lin Xiao was cursing and swearing.
However, they were all all talk and no action.
After grumbling and cursing for a while, they reluctantly went to a more distant place to avoid being affected.
Lin Xiao's extraordinary abilities also drew the attention of many exceptional talents and heirs of prominent families.
The techniques they practiced were all quite powerful, but none of them had the terrifying effect of Lin Xiao.
"It seems that being born into this world was the right decision. There are so many geniuses in this world!" Ye Langtian of the Ye family murmured.
"Let's go somewhere farther away."
Ye Langtian said something to a man beside him and then went to a certain place and sat down cross-legged.
At this moment, the technique Lin Xiao used also caught the attention of the powerful figures observing from the void.
"The Great Sun Devouring Heaven Technique? I didn't expect this kid to actually inherit that snotty-nosed kid's legacy. Interesting, very interesting. This is simply destined to be a part of my War God Temple!"
In the void, the old man who called himself the ancestor of the Temple of War Gods spoke excitedly.
At this moment, he had no eyes for the other prodigies; his eyes were completely filled with Lin Xiao.
"Hmph! Such a genius, the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land will surely not let him go. But luckily, I have a good relationship with Wan Jiansheng, so perhaps I can become his second master!"
A long-haired man holding a long sword, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Hey! Young man, are you trying to steal someone from the ancestor?" the ancestor of the War God Temple said angrily.
"Heh heh! Snatch someone? Old man, that's not how you take on disciples. It's all about charisma. After the tournament, you can see whether this kid is willing to become your disciple or mine!"
"Hey! I don't know where you came from, you arrogant brat, how dare you talk to this old ancestor like that? This old ancestor will teach you a lesson!"
“... ... ..."
In the unknown void, a great battle between an old man and a young man is currently unfolding.
However, this battle is destined to be one that many people will never see.
Time passed slowly.
The prescribed three hours vanished in the blink of an eye.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty's voice drifted out softly.
"Gentlemen, the time has come. The second test begins!"
"Everyone can use the tokens in their hands to engage in one-on-one competitions, such as number one versus number one hundred. The winner will advance to the next round until a final winner is determined!"
"This person is the champion of this year's Hundred Sects Tournament. The champion will receive generous rewards, including the privilege of entering the Great Zhou Treasury to select treasures, and the chance to be accepted as a disciple by a powerful sect!"
"Let's begin!"
Without uttering a single word, the Emperor of Great Zhou spoke, and as soon as he finished, everyone felt a change in the palm of his hand.
Lin Xiao looked down and saw that the standard room that the trial space had originally given him had now been changed to a number.
"Group A, number ninety-nine?"
Lin Xiao murmured.
The trial space in the sky has also been transformed into an arena, where more than a dozen battles can take place simultaneously.
At this moment, a figure appeared, randomly hovering over an arena, and then revealed his number.
"Group A No. 2, fellow Daoist No. 99 of Group A, do you dare to come up and fight!"
A man with a calm expression but complex and ever-changing eyes shouted loudly.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the man's face clearly.
"It's actually the butcher, Wang Feiyu!"
"As expected of a local tyrant, he's not afraid of who his opponent is and goes all out from the start. I wonder who his opponent is?"
"The Butcher's name may not be known throughout the entire Tiannan region, but it should be known throughout at least a third of the Tiannan Dao Domain. His opponents are in for a rough time. I've heard that the Butcher is extremely ruthless and never leaves anyone alive!"
“... ... ..."
At this moment, Lin Xiao glanced at his opponent.
"Heh! Didn't expect to run into you so soon? You little rascal, you're in a bit of bad luck!"
Lin Xiao didn't say anything unnecessary and jumped lightly.
Swift as thunder, moving like a ghost.
Before anyone could react, he had already entered the arena where Wang Feiyu was.
"My opponent is actually you?"
Wang Feiyu raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw that his opponent was actually Lin Xiao.
Then, his eyes were filled with hatred as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, I request to participate in a life-or-death battle!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao was surprised to find that Wang Feiyu was so brave, turning a perfectly good match into a life-or-death struggle.
Once the application is successful, it will be a life-or-death struggle.
Of course, you can refuse, but if you back down now, you'll leave behind a mental demon.
At this moment, the people outside were also surprised.
There were people who proposed a life-or-death battle at the Hundred Sects Conference, but very few of them did.
In most cases, even in ten major conferences, no one would propose a life-or-death battle.
At this moment, the people of Tianyan Holy Land coldly stared at Wang Feiyu in the light screen.
"Where did this rogue cultivator come from, actually challenging Senior Brother Lin to a life-or-death battle? Isn't he afraid of dying?"
"He's wasting his prime years, choosing instead to rush to his death. This isn't just looking down on Senior Brother Lin; it's an insult to our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land!"
“... ... ..."
At this moment, Liu Ruyan, who had also qualified for the competition, also looked coldly at Wang Feiyu.
"The Butcher? Wang Feiyu?"
"This person doesn't seem to have appeared in the future, so he probably isn't very famous."
Liu Ruyan murmured to herself, "She is the only woman Lin Xiao wants to take with him among the many women on the Ninth Peak."
For no other reason than that her cultivation level was just enough to clear out more competitors for Lin Xiao.
Back in the ring.
At this moment, the voice of the Great Zhou Emperor resounded in the arena.
"Lin Xiao, do you agree?"
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Of course I'll agree! Why wouldn't I? I'd be happy if someone was eager to die!"
Lin Xiao agreed to the life-or-death battle.
A golden imperial edict appeared in the arena where they were.
"Alright! This is a life-or-death agreement. You only need to inject a wisp of your own energy into it to complete the signing. As long as there is no life or death, the battle will never end!"
The voice of the Great Zhou Emperor was extremely majestic.
The life-or-death duel at the Hundred Sects Conference is no child's play; it cannot be agreed to verbally. Instead, a life-or-death contract must be signed.
Once this life-or-death contract is signed, one cannot leave this arena space unless they are to die in the process.
