Chapter 371: City of Promise, Wuxin shows up, no longer hiding, preliminaries begin
Holding the pre-purchased pre-selection certificate, Xia Lin approached the entrance to the Ashes Zone.
The entrance to the ashes area turned from black to white, and suction emerged. Xia Lin did not resist.
As the dizziness from the transmission gradually subsided, Xia Lin opened his eyes and saw a spacious square.
The square was of astonishing size, with many buildings at the front end and nothingness at the back. In the center of the square stood six statues whose faces could not be seen clearly. However, from their majestic aura and general shape, it could be identified that these six statues were probably six pillars - mainly because there was an indescribable monster mixed in among the five human-shaped sculptures, which made it easy to associate them with the six pillars and the special existence called the original dark side among the six pillars.
After tilting his head to observe the sculpture of the original dark side for a long time, Xia Lin found it difficult to describe what it looked like, so he simply ignored it and shifted his gaze to look around.
Long before Xia Lin arrived here, some people had already arrived.
As Xia Lin stood firm and looked around, more teleportation lights flashed, and more and more travelers from the Cinders arrived at the qualifying arena.
It takes 10,000 ranked battle points to purchase a pre-qualification certificate, but Jhin Walkers have a full twelve Jhin times to earn these points.
This is the rule of the audition - the difficulty is not low but not too high, so looking at the entire human race, there are quite a few Amber Walkers who can pass the audition.
Some people had experienced this stage in the last, or the previous, human race ranking battle and were familiar with the situation here.
As soon as he completed the transmission, he couldn't wait to walk towards the distant buildings.
Some people, like Xia Lin, are here for the first time and are completely confused, not understanding the situation and rules.
Soon, the reminder sound of the Jhin area sounded first, clearing up the confusion for everyone.
【Welcome to the audition battlefield! 】
[The place you are currently in is called the City of Oath! It is the venue for all the following stages of the Ordinal War! ]
[It is strictly forbidden to use force in the city, and violators will be killed! ]
【Food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city are all free, so you can explore the place without any worries and spend the next three days. 】
[Three days later, the Jhin zone system will release the complete preliminary rules! ]
Just when Xia Lin had digested this information, another voice was heard not far away.
"Cinder Walkers from the Creator and Overlord, gather here."
The voice was faint, but Xia Lin found it very familiar.
Because this voice is exactly the voice of Luo Zhidao.
As soon as the voice fell, more than 60% of the Ashes Walkers around Xia Lin immediately started walking towards Luo Zhi Dao.
Xia Lin then discovered that the clothing and attire of these people generally had a strong style of immortal cultivators.
The profession of Immortal Cultivator is one of the Six Pillars, the natal profession of the Lord of Heaven.
The profession has a profound concept, a complete system, and a very high ceiling, but it develops slowly.
On the Blue Star, cultivators generally cannot make a name for themselves, simply because the Blue Star has been a Cinder Zone planet for too short a time, and the cultivators have no time to develop. But looking at the entire human race, the number of cultivators is indeed too large.
This is also one of the reasons why the Lord of Heaven has such great power among the human race.
Immediately after Luo Zhidao said this, another voice was heard.
"Super Star Camp, come closer to me!"
The voice sounded unfamiliar, causing Xia Lin to turn his head to look.
Then I saw the person who spoke was a handsome man in black clothes with a long sword at his waist.
Human race sequence three, indifference.
And Xia Lin’s former acquaintances: Xiao Feng, Bao Bowen, Wen Rou and the like, all stood behind Leng Mo.
So, a large group of people went in the direction where Lengmo was.
The entire square became empty.
"The two paths of immortality and martial arts are still the mainstream among the mainstream of the human race... This makes us, the miscellaneous ones, very embarrassed."
A familiar voice sounded, Xia Lin turned around and saw Nelson appeared beside him.
There were too many people around just now and Nelson couldn't find Xia Lin. Now that the crowd was being diverted, these two old acquaintances met.
As for Nelson, he actually has a faction inclination - his faction inclination is on the side of the Demon Emperor, but the relationship is extremely distant, so distant that it can be ignored, and it does not affect the logic of Nelson's actions.
"What's more, in the human race sequence war, the people on the side of the Demon Emperor are being suppressed extremely miserably, even worse than the Super Star side. Instead of meeting the people on the side of the Demon Emperor, I might as well come to you."
This is Nelson's strategy in this qualifying battle.
Holding onto Xia Lin's thighs, he tried to see if he could get a ranking in the lower sequence.
This is better than following Demon Emperor Fang Hunyi and the others, and then being targeted at every turn by those immortal cultivators who break their limits.
Xia Lin realized Nelson's thoughts in an instant.
Then he smiled awkwardly.
"Brother, you have made a wrong calculation..."
Nelson was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Xia Lin raised his hand, pointed at Luo Zhi and said, "That's where the mistake is."
Nelson knew that Xia Lin had a conflict with the Lord of Heaven.
But the problem is, considering that Xia Lin is still alive today, Nelson feels that this contradiction is not insignificant, but it can be said that it is not a big problem.
After all, you, Xia Lin, are still alive, right? Your being alive means that either the conflict has been resolved, or you, Xia Lin, are able to resist the danger.
All in all, Nelson didn't think it was a big problem.
But it was clear that Nelson didn't understand two things.
First: Xia Lin has already played a game with Luo Zhidao.
Of course, there was no need for Xia Lin to tell Nelson about this. As the loser, Luo Zhidao would not publicize his defeat in a big way.
This means that the conflict between Xia Lin and the creator is greater than Nelson expected, but it also means that Xia Lin is capable of resolving the danger, so Nelson's assessment is not wrong.
The second problem is: Nelson certainly doesn't know what kind of person Wu Xin is.
Just when Nelson was confused, the Ashes Walkers on the side of the Heavenly Maker suddenly separated.
A young figure walked out from behind the crowd, with a gentle, even well-behaved smile on his face.
He stood at the forefront of the Heavenly Dao Creator's camp and looked at Xia Lin.
And Xia Lin also tilted his head with a smile.
…
Human Sequence One, Wuxin, is a mystery.
He seldom shows up and seldom takes action, but every time he takes action, he crushes his opponents, so no one understands his power system.
There were many different stories about Wuxin's appearance, which meant that even if Wuxin showed up in person, few people would recognize him as the famous human sequence one, the strongest Cinder Walker! But Xia Lin knew him very well.
In the Dream Time Tower, you were killed by this guy hundreds of times. If you were in his place, you would also remember it clearly.
The two looked at each other from a distance, the atmosphere was complicated and indescribable.
Even though violence was prohibited here, the aura generated by the confrontation between the two still caused the air pressure in the entire square to drop.
Everyone felt as if a disaster was about to happen, and they all lowered their voices unconsciously.
Soon, the whole square was filled with the sound of a pin drop being audible.
However, Wu Xin and Xia Lin, the parties involved, remained silent.
But suddenly, footsteps were heard again.
On the Demon Emperor's side, the Ashes Walker, led by Human Sequence Five and Soul One, approached Xia Lin and finally stood behind Xia Lin, making a gesture of taking Xia Lin as the leader.
This scene made Wuxin laugh.
"The weak huddle together for warmth, but they are still vulnerable."
Xia Lin raised his hand and pointed, then smiled back, "There are more rotten fish and shrimp over there."
This sentence made the human sequence four, Luo Zhi, feel embarrassed, but he did not dare to get angry.
He just looked at Wuxin, but found that Wuxin had no intention of helping his teammates at all.
Because in this person's eyes, Luo Zhidao and his group of people are not teammates at all.
He just nodded slightly, turned around and left.
Only the sound echoed in the square.
"Remember, you are the challenger."
"I'm at Sequence One, waiting for you."
Xia Lin did not respond.
…
It was not until Wuxin left and disappeared that the inexplicable low pressure in the square disappeared.
But everyone's eyes were on Xia Lin.
Beside him, Nelson pondered for a long time and suddenly took a breath.
"I'm at Sequence One, waiting for you. What does this mean?"
Xia Lin laughed: "Literally..."
Nelson pondered for a moment and suddenly froze.
He looked in the direction Wuxin left: "Is that Wuxin?"
Xia Lin: “Well, that was unintentional.”
Nelson looked at Xia Lin and the Demon Emperor Fangjin District Walkers led by Hun Yi behind him, and then looked at Xia Lin again.
"If you are not a brother, then who are you? How come you seem to have become the leader of the Demon Emperor's side?"
Xia Lin laughed and patted the confused Nelson on the shoulder.
"If I am the leader, then wouldn't you be the second leader?"
Nelson thought about it and smiled with relief: "Haha, that's what I said. How can I be the leader... Hey, look at what this has caused."
Xia Lin: "But I am really the leader here."
Nelson laughed dryly three times: “Don’t make trouble, brother, I’m really not the second brother.”
Xia Lin: "But I am really the eldest brother. If you want to be the second brother, it's just a matter of a word from me..."
Nelson's face began to twitch.
Behind Xia Lin, Hun Yi sneered and added the finishing blow at the right time: "Hello, second brother, nice to meet you!!"
The rest followed suit.
Amid the resounding voice of “Hello, second brother,” Nelson’s cloudy eyes gradually revealed an unprecedented clarity.
Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
There was a burst of laughter behind Xia Lin.
Xia Lin coughed twice, then held Nelson and looked at Hun Yi.
"Well, now that the fun is over, it's time to get down to business."
…
Return a favor.
Xia Lin lived in the Demon Palace for half a year and received a lot of help from Donald.
You can look at the Demon Emperor designing dual professions as a "transaction" in which no one owes anyone anything, but what Donald provided to Xia Lin was pure kindness.
Therefore, when they parted, even though Donald did not ask for anything, Xia Lin still took the initiative to find Hun Yi and proposed the idea of cooperating with them in this serial battle.
But he didn't expect that Hun Yi would give Xia Lin a big blow...
——You will be the leader.
Xia Lin instinctively wanted to object, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to object.
The title of leader is just a title. To put it bluntly, it means being the first to stick your head out.
Xia Lin was originally the one who stood out on Wuxin's side, and his strength no longer allowed him to keep a low profile... He might as well just step forward and stop hiding himself.
For Hun Yi, who was familiar with Xia Lin's strength (the two had competed with each other before), all this was natural.
But for others who don't know Xia Lin's strength, their expressions are probably the same as Nelson's.
It was not until Xia Lin and his group walked away that the discussions suddenly began.
"Who is this?"
"I don't know. I don't know him."
"My name seems to be Xia Lin."
Everyone was shocked: "Who is Xia Lin?"
For those who don’t know Xia Lin, this name is quite unfamiliar.
Most of those who have heard of Xia Lin's name are only on the wanted list of the Lord of Heavenly Dao.
People like Xiao Feng Wenrou knew Xia Lin, but they didn't know how strong Xia Lin was now and to what extent he had grown.
Human sequence three, indifferent, turned to look at Bao Bowen.
"Your information is wrong. Xia Lin seems to be stronger than Hun Yi. Otherwise, with Hun Yi's personality, he would not be willing to be inferior to others."
Bao Bowen smiled bitterly: "This person's growth rate is indeed very fast. The information I have is only from half a year ago. At that time, his strength could probably squeeze into the top five of the sequence, which is similar to the soul one. Now, it seems that Brother Xia Lin has become stronger..."
But to what extent is a mystery.
The growth model of the Life and Death Battle System is too exaggerated. For those who are not familiar with this system, they simply cannot evaluate the growth rate and actual effect of this system.
Thinking of this, Leng Mo nodded slightly: "It seems that this sequence battle will be fun to watch... I don't know if Xia Lin's strength can shake my ranking."
Some of the Cinder Walkers from the Super Star Camp behind him hurriedly said, "That's absolutely impossible... Sequence 4 and 5 are one tier, and the top 3 are another tier. I estimate that in this round, the top 3 will still be the top 3. It is already a great feat for Xia Lin to shake Luo Zhidao's position."
Behind the Super Star camp, Wen Rou opened her mouth, wanting to refute this statement, but she didn't say anything.
She had an inexplicable trust in Xia Lin, but her intuition told her that Xia Lin's hard power was far behind Lengmo and others.
He nodded calmly and ignored Xia Lin, then turned his gaze away and looked into the distance.
In the distance, a tall Tibetan man in a black dragon robe stood with his hands behind his back, taking in everything that had just happened.
Perhaps he noticed the cold gaze, he turned around and nodded slightly to Leng Mo.
Sequence two, Qin Tai, Lord of the Armies.
For these two people, being indifferent is out of reach.
There is another level of gap between Luozhidao and below.
In their eyes, the biggest competitors in this serial war are each other, and everyone else is not worth their attention.
Their eyes met, and they quickly looked away.
Qin Tai looked at Xia Lin who was leaving in the distance, and a glimmer of jealousy slowly appeared in his eyes, which was not noticeable to others.
…
The City of Oath is an ultra-modern metropolis.
There are no residents in the city, which is managed by intelligent computers and robots.
The arrival of the huge number of Ashland Walkers brought vitality to this place.
Xia Lin took Hun Yi and others to choose a hotel to stay in, and they had a place to stay for the next few days.
Human Sequence 26, Jiao Lengyan, and Human Sequence 11, Yodel went out to gather intelligence and returned quickly.
"This time, we have about a thousand people who passed the audition..."
Although this number is large, there are already tens of thousands of Ash Walkers coming to the City of Covenant.
In proportion, the power of the Demon Emperor among the human race is indeed quite pitiful.
Hun Yi said calmly: "In the previous few sequence battles, I would find Leng Mo first to discuss cooperation."
This is Soul One's consistent strategy: cooperation.
Even a certain degree of dependence.
There is no way. Among the human forces, the Lord of Heaven is the only one that dominates. Strictly speaking, Chaoxing’s base is also in the human race, but he just can’t beat the old thief of Heaven.
It is necessary for both sides to join forces.
Xia Lin thought for a moment and said, "Just do what you did before."
Hun Yi smiled bitterly: "I was afraid that you would have an opinion... It's unreasonable for you to be treated coldly with your strength."
The cooperation between the two sides in the previous serial battles was always led by indifference.
Hun Yi's individual strength is not as good as Leng Mo's, nor is his influence, so it is natural that they are ranked first and last.
The current situation is different.
Xia Lin thought about it and felt that this made sense...
Damn it, I’m so strong, but I still have to listen to the orders of someone who is not as good as me. Then what’s the point of becoming strong?
"Let's first agree on the cooperation intention, and when the detailed rules come out, we can talk about other things."
Three days passed in a flash.
The reminder sound of the ember area sounded.
[The three-day countdown ends, and the City of Oath is closed! ]
[A total of 132,589 human Ember Walkers have passed the audition. The audition rules are now released! ]
[Preliminary stage assessment mode: Promise City! ]
[Oath City: From now on, countless traps will appear in the entire Oath City, and fog that can block all perception and communication capabilities... All Ash Zone walkers can explore, hunt, and counter-hunt in this city! ]
[After 1,000 survivors are selected, this stage ends and the Human Race Ranked Tournament begins! ]
[Note: You can leave the Oath Labyrinth at any time and teleport back to your home planet without a ten-second waiting period. But if you make this decision, it means you have voluntarily given up this Sequence Ranked Battle! ]
[Preliminary examination begins immediately! ]
Just at the moment when the system prompt sound of the Cinder Zone fell, endless fog immediately emerged around Xia Lin.
The fog obscured his vision, and even with Xia Lin's attributes and witnessing talent, he couldn't see through it! His vision was blocked within a radius of ten meters.
But when he turned around to look at Hunyi who had just been by his side, he found that Hunyi had disappeared.
"Layered space + space transfer... these preliminary rules are quite new."
Before, Hun Yi had talked with Xia Lin about the format of the serial battle preliminaries.
Basically, there are all kinds of modes...
What about team competitions, team formation competitions, and power competitions?
The current Oath City can be classified as an individual competition mode.
——The Ashes intentionally destroyed the division of power among the Walkers and scattered everyone into the Dark Forest.
If you want to stand out from this stage, you can only rely on your comprehensive abilities and hard power.
Thinking of this, Xia Lin frowned.
Because this rule only appears fair.
…
The City of Promise shrouded in thick fog.
In the room, Wuxin stood up with a sneer on his face.
"Nothing can escape the Master's calculations!"
"This mode is indeed beneficial to me!"
The six pillars are theoretically equal, but their emphasis is indeed different.
When it comes to fate and destiny, the Creator of Heaven is indeed the number one person, there is no room for dispute about this.
This also invisibly leads to such a result - certain things will develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Creator of Heaven.
For example, this sequence ranking battle.
There are rumors outside that this ranking battle was initiated by the Lord of Heaven, with the purpose of giving special training to His closed disciple: Wuxin.
But in the Ashes Zone, the six pillars check and balance each other, and the Lord of Heaven cannot violate the relevant rules - in other words, He has no way to interfere with the detailed rules of the Sequence War, let alone intervene directly.
However, indirection is always possible.
Considering the focus, it is unclear whether it was intentional or just luck, but the Jhin system came up with the current rules in the preliminary stage.
——A rule that is beneficial to Wuxin, Luozhidao, and even all those who follow the immortal path.
Look at Wuxin stretching slowly, the smile on his face is still obedient, but the words he says are chilling.
"Then let's die a few times first..."
Having said this, Wuxin smiled, opened the door and walked out.
I still don’t know why Wuxin feels that the Oath of the City is beneficial to him.
But looking at that smile, he seemed to have already won.
…
In another space, in a room not far from Wuxin.
Luo Zhidao breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of Wuxin and Xia Lin, Luo Zhidao's eyes gradually became serious.
He was a very competitive person by nature, and he was angry when he was mocked by Wuxin and ignored by Xia Lin.
At this moment, the rules of the Oath City were released. Luo Zhidao keenly realized that these rules were tailor-made for him! Amid the fluctuations of immortal power, colorful threads spread out from Luo Zhidao's body.
It is Luozhidao's specialty, the Great Luozhi Technique!
This is why Xia Lin said that the rules of the Oath City only seem fair.
Because the immortal practitioners cultivate the way of heaven and are in harmony with heaven.
High-level immortal side ember zone walkers, such as Luo Zhidao, are fully capable of temporarily merging with the Oath Maze City, so as not to be suppressed by the city's rules, and even reversely use the city's rules to turn passivity into initiative! This Oath Maze City is almost the same as the immortal side's home court.
But soon, something unexpected happened!
Luo Zhidao had just connected to the Maze of Oaths, and hadn't even finished the foreplay when dozens of completely different energies and auras suddenly inserted themselves into it.
Most of them are the power of immortals, but a small part is varied and cannot be recognized by Luo Zhidao's knowledge.
This made Luo Zhidao narrow his eyes slightly and nodded in understanding.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this is how Sequence Battle should be!"
The real battle has not yet happened, but the battle for control of the rules of the Oath City has begun.
This game is undoubtedly a high-end game.
In the room, Xia Lin smiled.
"It seems fair... I like this kind of differential treatment."
Not for any other reason, but because Xia Lin also has the means to interfere with the laws of nature.
Moreover, the strength of this method may even surpass that of fabricating lies.
"It's a pity that I didn't crush you to death last time. This time, I'm going to give you a big one no matter what!"
While muttering, Xia Lin's figure grew taller.
Black Source Martial God form, activated!
