Now that the seven people had entered the seven arenas, it meant that the seven arenas now had Ring Masters. These Ring Masters would stand on the arenas, waiting for others to challenge them.
'If what he said is true, the Ring Master who enters the arena first won't have to worry about the others exhausting his strength.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself when he heard the words of the middle-aged man standing behind Liu Guang Lin.
Moreover, as the middle-aged man had said, the Ring Master who entered the arena first would have a chance to improve his strength as he fought with the challengers.
Therefore, no matter who entered the arena first, there was no harm in it.
Nevertheless, Duan Lingtian did not plan to enter the arena first. He decided to wait until the last one to enter the arena.
This was the safest way.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
While Duan Lingtian was still deep in thought, three more figures entered the remaining three arenas.
In just a blink of an eye, all nine arenas had Ring Masters.
"Now that the nine Ring Masters are in place, anyone who participates in the Southern Heaven Combat can challenge them. If they win, they'll become the new Ring Master!
The defeated Ring Master will no longer be able to enter the arena he has previously entered. However, he'll still have the opportunity to challenge other arenas he hasn't entered before. "
The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation continued to say, "I hereby announce the start of the Southern Heaven Combat!"
The Southern Heaven Combat had officially begun!
As soon as the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation finished speaking, nine figures entered the nine arenas one after another, preparing to battle the nine Ring Masters.
"That's Hong Xi, the son of the City Governor of Nan Min City. Although his cultivation base is only at the Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial Stage, his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities are extraordinary!"
"That's He Qian, the daughter of the Patriarch of the He Clan in North Origin City. Although she's a woman, she successfully broke through and became a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial when she was only 300 years old. Her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities are extraordinary as well. She's also the most talented person in the He Clan in the past 1,000 years."
"That's …"
…
Whispers entered Duan Ling Tian's ears successively. Many people had recognized some of the Ring Masters and challengers on the nine combat rings.
These people were all disciples from prominent clans and were quite famous in the past.
After a while, the nine arenas began to appear.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Above the nine battle rings, most of the ring masters and challengers soared into the sky. They took out their immortal weapons and attacked. After their immortal elemental energy skyrocketed, multicolored energy bloomed in their hands.
At the same time, they began to unleash all sorts of abilities.
"Amongst these 18 people, the strongest is still the daughter of the North Origin City's He Clan's Patriarch, He Qian!"
After about ten breaths, Duan Lingtian casually glanced at the eighteen people who were fighting. His gaze finally fell on the only girl among the eighteen people.
This woman was the daughter of the Northern Origin City's He Clan's Patriarch, He Qian.
"This daughter of the He family is really not inferior to a man!"
"That's right … It's not easy for a woman to have such achievements in just three hundred years."
"Among the 18 contestants, the strongest one is Miss He."
…
He Qian was a delicate and pretty woman. She was dressed in a green robe and had a graceful figure. She attracted many people's attention as soon as she made her move.
Naturally, this was only Duan Lingtian's opinion of her.
In the eyes of others, He Qian was considered a rare beauty.
However, Duan Lingtian had seen too many beauties. Moreover, he had been with her for a long time. Therefore, he was immune to these beauties.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The Immortal Artifact in He Qian's hand was a long whip, and after she poured her Immortal Essence Energy into it, it would sometimes be as straight as a rod and sweep through an army with an oppressive might. At other times, it would sometimes be as soft as a snake, agile and graceful, and it would follow her like a shadow to coil around her opponent.
In less than twenty breaths, He Qian's opponent, a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, was struck by her whip and sent flying out of the light in the battle ring.
He Qian had won!
"Based on He Qian's relaxed stance, it's obvious she hasn't used her full strength. If she had, I'm afraid her opponent wouldn't have lasted more than five breaths."
Liu Guang Lin's voice rang in Duan Lingtian's ears.
Liu Guang Lin's voice immediately attracted the approval of the surrounding people. Many people echoed his words. "Indeed, Miss He didn't use her full strength."
"She looks so relaxed. How could she have used her full strength?"
"Miss He probably doesn't even need to consume any pills to recover her Celestial Origin Energy."
…
"My lord, you … What's wrong?"
In next to no time, Liu Guang Lin noticed that something was slightly off with Duan Ling Tian, and he saw Duan Ling Tian staring fixedly at He Qian who was on the combat arena with a dumbstruck gaze as if he'd lost his soul.
When Liu Guang Lin's voice rang in the air, Duan Lingtian regained his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, "Huan 'er's Celestial Weapon is also a whip …"
Although He Qian's whip was only a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon, Huan 'er's whip was a King Grade Celestial Weapon.
Although they were both long whips, Duan Ling Tian could not help but think of Huan 'er.
He could not help but wonder how she was doing, if she was in danger, if she was safe, and so on.
"My lord, I'm sure Miss Huan 'er will be fine."
Liu Guang Lin finally understood why Duan Lingtian was so distracted. As it turned out, He Qian's Celestial Weapon was the same as Miss Huan 'er's whip.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded. At the same time, he shifted his attention back to the other nine arenas.
After He Qian defeated the Ring Master and became the new Ring Master, the remaining eight arenas were filled with challengers. Naturally, there were also challengers who successfully defended their arenas and became the new Ring Master.
Before the three arenas were filled with challengers, more and more challengers began to ascend to the other arenas. Only He Qian's arena remained empty.
He Qian did not seem surprised by this. She sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes to rest.
"It seems like most people don't want to fight Miss He. After all, with her strength, it's very likely she'll be able to obtain a spot to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
Many people shared the same thought.
"Clan Leader He, your daughter is as strong as any man … After her battle, no one dares to challenge her."
An old man dressed in a white robe sighed as he looked at a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes standing next to him.
His eyes were filled with envy as he looked at the middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes.
Although he had a grandson with good talent, he was much inferior compared to the daughter of the He family.
"Clan Leader Chen, your grandson is not bad as well … He has defeated two opponents in a row and has become the second Ring Master."
The middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes chuckled as he looked at a young man in another arena. He said modestly, "Moreover, your grandson is more than ten years younger than my daughter. I'm sure he'll surpass her in the future."
"Patriarch He, you're too modest … Just this useless grandson of mine will never be able to catch up to your daughter."
…
As some of the disciples of the prestigious clans ascended the arena and became the new arena masters, similar flattering words rang out in the spectator seats where a group of people from the prestigious clans had gathered.
Time continued to pass.
Soon after, the sky was filled with the glow of the setting sun.
At this time, many Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had signed up to participate in the Southern Heaven Combat had been defeated.
"I'm still not strong enough. I'll cultivate for the next few days instead of going to the arenas. "
"I agree … I'll be able to improve my Celestial Method if I meditate on it. I'll meditate on it for a while before I go to the arenas."
…
Some of the people who had been defeated in the arena decided at this time that they would not be in a hurry to ascend the arena to challenge the arena masters in the next few days.
On the first day, after He Qian defeated the first arena master, no one else challenged her in the arena that she occupied.
Many people were speechless when they saw this.
Even the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation could not help but frown. This was his first time encountering such a situation.
"In the past, outstanding figures like He Qian would basically wait until the end to make a move … Yet this time, He Qian was the first to make a move and occupy a combat ring, causing no one to challenge that combat ring."
A voice rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears. "If a powerhouse like He Qian enters the arena tomorrow, I'm afraid there'll be another empty arena. If that's the case, the progress of the Southern Heaven Combat will slow down."
"Perhaps, it's time to change the rules of the Southern Heaven Combat."
Another person chimed in.
It was as though this person could predict the future.
As night fell, the Southern Heaven Combat came to an end. The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation announced loudly.
"From tomorrow onward, there'll be a new rule in the Southern Heaven Combat. As long as no one challenges the Ring Master of any arena, he or she will be granted a spot to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
As soon as the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation made his announcement, more and more opponents appeared in He Qian's arena on the second day.
However, most of them were just looking for trouble and were defeated by He Qian one after another.
On the second day, half an hour had passed, but no one had challenged He Qian.
In just a blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
"An hour will pass in a dozen breaths … If no one challenges He Qian, she'll be granted a spot to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
"With He Qian's strength, she should be able to obtain a spot. It seems like she'll be granted a spot in advance."
…
While the crowd was whispering to each other, an hour had passed. However, there was still no one who challenged He Qian.
The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation rose to his feet again and announced, "He Qian … He Qian will be given one of the spots to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
Now that He Qian has left her arena, those who want to become the new Ring Master may go up now. "
