The hundreds of envoys from the advanced continent had all taken their seats. Only three people could sit side by side in the front row. One was Zhuang Yue, an old man from the Scarlet Sky Divine Wind Temple, the second was Rong Shuo, the emperor of Shuo Palace, and the third was a man with a ghost mask from the Celestial Clan.
Except for Mr. Zhuang from the Scarlet Sky Divine Wind Temple, both of them wore masks, making it impossible to see their appearance.
The other envoys seemed rather uneasy and reserved, perhaps because of the presence of these three people.
The practitioners did not dare to speak casually. They stood up carefully and sat on the Phoenix Stone seats.
At this moment, nearly half of the 10,000 contestants were in an extremely nervous state.
At this time, Sect Master Xuanyuan Bin signaled with his eyes to the Great Elder, Liang Guanren, the Third Elder, and the two Inner Sect Elders who were also highly respected in the sect standing behind him.
The five of them nodded at the same time.
Afterwards, the five elders, serving as referees of the Tianling Conference, walked towards the five arenas.
Sect Master Xuanyuan Bin leaped onto the high platform in the middle, bowed and saluted the envoys from the advanced continent, then looked around and officially announced:
"Welcome everyone to Fengtian Mountain to participate in or watch this year's Tianling Conference! Now, this sect leader declares that the Tianling Conference has officially begun!"
"The first round of the promotion competition officially begins—"
"This Sect Master would like to offer two final reminders: On the stage, life and death are determined by fate! I hope all contestants are well prepared."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud applause all around, as if cheering for the official opening of the Tianling Conference.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Now the oppressive atmosphere suddenly weakened a lot.
On the other side, 10,000 contestants were also taken to the waiting area. Everyone had a corresponding seat and could sit and watch the game while waiting for the game.
If a contestant is eliminated once, they will be moved to the audience seats and will not have any chance to participate in the next round of qualifying matches.
The rules are simple, crude, and very cruel.
If you encounter an extremely strong opponent at the beginning, then you are unlucky.
Now, the five pairs of contestants who got the same numbers one to five have left the waiting area, and the top five pairs of contestants are standing on the five huge stages.
Among them was Mu Yin.
Mu Yin was number 'two', so he stood on the number two ring. Coincidentally, the referee of the number two ring was Liang Guanren!
Liang Guanren noticed that the boy was a little nervous, and swallowed the words of comfort that were on the tip of his tongue. He was afraid that if he said too much, people would think he was unfair and unjust.
By then, the person affected will be Mu Yin.
When Mu Yin was taking a deep breath to calm himself, he caught a glimpse of his master's serious face from the corner of his eye, and he felt like laughing.
He tried hard to control the corners of his mouth.
When the master becomes serious, he looks so strange that people can't help but laugh.
When Liang Guanren saw Mu Yin trying hard to hold back his laughter, he almost wanted to go up and hit him on the head, wanting to yell: This is a competition, please take it seriously!
Liang Guanren coughed heavily a few times, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Two contestants, please take this competition seriously."
"Yes!" Mu Yin answered loudly.
Yun Zheng and others, who were far away, also heard Mu Yin's unusually loud voice. They looked at each other and fell into silence.
The dwarf contestant opposite Mu Yin choked. He didn't know whether to answer or not. He hesitated for a long time before answering, "...Yes."
Everyone's attention was also attracted by Mu Yin's voice.
Liang Guanren said in a deep voice: "Advance to the ring competition, officially——"
"start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Mu Yin's handsome face immediately disappeared. He quickly summoned a double-edged sword with both hands and started fighting with the dwarf in front of him who had shrunk by nearly half.
Dwarf men are small in stature, so they are extremely flexible and can move around very quickly.
'boom--'
A double-edged knife struck towards the dwarf man who was less than half the height of his knee. The dwarf man quickly rolled sideways to avoid the double-edged knife.
He held a cone-shaped pointed iron hammer in his hand, and his figure seemed to flash by and appeared in mid-air behind Mu Yin.
The dwarf man's pointed iron hammer burst out with a high-level power belonging to the Holy Heavenly Dao Realm. With a "bang", he saw his pointed iron hammer hit Mu Yin's back of the head fiercely.
At that moment, the boy with high ponytail blocked the double-edged sword in his other hand.
"Clang—"
The two collided, making a harsh sound.
The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted softly: "Come!"
In an instant, the double-edged sword he had struck out quickly turned back and stabbed towards the boy's head with a "whoosh".
When everyone saw this, someone couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is he crazy?!"
He actually stabbed his own head with his own knife!
At this moment, the young man tilted his head slightly, his high ponytail fell diagonally, his hair fluttered lightly, and time seemed to slow down.
The double-edged knife swiftly passed by his cheek and stabbed into the dwarf's chest.
The dwarf man was caught off guard by this and quickly retreated to avoid it.
When the dwarf man stepped back, two dimples appeared on the boy's handsome cheeks. He quickly seized the opportunity and swung the double-edged sword down.
"Clang—"
The double-edged sword winds swept the power of the semi-saint realm and slashed towards the dwarf man.
Instantly, with a "bang", the dwarf man was hit in the chest. He fell backwards under the heavy blow, and blood splattered on his chest.
"ah--"
The next moment, the dwarf wanted to get up and continue fighting, but he never expected that a double-edged knife was pressed against his neck, and the sharp and cold light was thrilling.
The boy asked, "Are you admitting defeat?"
The dwarf man knew that his cultivation level was not as good as the young man in front of him. He felt a little unwilling and frustrated. But he thought, let's try again next year.
"I give up."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yin immediately retracted his double-edged sword, then bent down and helped the dwarf man up.
The dwarf man was stunned and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
This young man, who should not be too old, actually possesses the cultivation level of the semi-saint realm. What kind of evil genius is this? Although he is powerful, his character is quite good.
The dwarf man looked at Mu Yin and asked, "I want to ask if you are a double-top genius?"
"No." Mu Yin shook his head. He didn't have such high talent, but he could take a beating.
If it weren't for A Zheng, Brother Lan and the others, he might still be staying in that small Dongzhou, and his life would have been filled with little success.
It was Fengyun that taught him to be proactive and motivated.
Just as Mu Yin was thinking, Liang Guanren's disdainful voice suddenly came from the side: "Now that the fight is over, get off the stage. Go away, don't get in the way here."
Mu Yin was about to say a few words when Liang Guanren drove him off the stage in disgust.
