Although he was slightly relieved, Duan Lingtian still sent a message to Linghu Renjie when he returned to the Fire Dragon Arena with Lan Yushan.
"He's using me to threaten you so that you won't enter the top ten?"
After receiving Duan Lingtian's message, Linghu Renjie was stunned at first, but then he said indifferently, "Ignore him … It won't be that easy to kill me."
"I'm no longer the patriarch of the Linghu family. I'm preparing to enter secluded cultivation in the clan."
"I'm still very confident in my Linghu family's protective formation."
"Also, didn't you say … the Black Dragon elder who's in charge of the Hidden Dragon Competition said that it's probably a prank from those foreign godkings, so there's even less reason for you to pay attention to it."
Linghu Renjie spoke casually and fearlessly.
Only after hearing Linghu Renjie's message did Duan Lingtian completely relax.
At this moment, he had returned to the vicinity of the Fire Dragon Arena with Lan Yushan and Dongfang Yannian. The Hidden Dragon Competition was still going on intensely.
However, their return still attracted quite a few doubtful gazes.
"What is it?"
Duan Lingtian only smiled faintly in response to Ding Yan and Hou Qingning's questions and said, "It's nothing."
Duan Lingtian told the two elders of the Linghu family, Linghu Zhengxing and Linghu Huan, what had happened to him was the truth. Naturally, the two of them were furious when they heard that.
However, in the end, they advised Duan Lingtian to ignore it. At the same time, they scanned the surrounding godkings, as if they wanted to find the person who could threaten Duan Lingtian.
As time passed, Duan Lingtian went on stage again and defeated his opponent easily.
Du Pojun, Hua Tiandu, and the others were the same.
They were unstoppable. The woman from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, Lady Seven, also displayed strength that was on par with men. No one had been able to last more than three moves against her.
Of course, this was also the reason why her current opponents were relatively weak.
However, the 'weak' mentioned here was only relative to her.
"The Hidden Dragon Competition will determine the top thirty first … From the looks of it, the people who will be able to enter the top thirty are already extremely clear."
Hou Qingning glanced at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, you will definitely enter the top 30. No one will doubt it … However, I'm afraid Ding Yan will have to accept a few challenges."
The Hidden Dragon Competition would follow the arrangement of the ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan who were in charge of the competition. The top thirty would be decided first.
Of course, the exact ranking of these thirty people had yet to be decided.
So much so that they hadn't even fought against each other before. They were all people who the inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan, who were in charge of the competition, thought to be relatively strong, so they hadn't been arranged to fight against each other.
Very quickly, the thirty people were decided.
At this time, it was already dusk.
"Next, I will announce the provisional name list of the top thirty people of the Hidden Dragon Competition … Now, the thirty people whose names I call will defend the ring tomorrow."
"Peng Dong, Qin Yuanzheng, Ji Wuchang, Situ Cheng, Duan Lingtian …"
One of the ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan who were in charge of the Hidden Dragon Competition loudly announced the names on the name list in his hand. Duan Lingtian and Ding Yan's names were impressively on the list.
Besides the two of them, Donghua Clan's Young Sect Leader Hua Tiandu, Ten Thousand Flower Valley's Miss Seven, and Ouyang Jianchen of the Ouyang Clan were also present.
Other than Duan Lingtian, no one else from the Linghu family entered the top thirty.
However, there was one person from the Murong family named Murong Luofeng, who was a direct descendant of the Murong family.
"Tomorrow, these thirty people will defend the ring. Those who were eliminated earlier have the right to issue a challenge to them … If the challenge is successful, then they can replace them."
"If the challenge is lost within a hundred moves, it will be regarded as a waste of the Hidden Dragon Competition's time, and there will be a corresponding punishment."
"If the challenge is lost within a hundred moves, one year's worth of spirit stone salary will be deducted, and at the same time, one year of unpaid patrol outside the sect."
"If the challenge is lost within fifty moves, three years' worth of spirit stone salary will be deducted, and at the same time, three years of unpaid patrol outside the sect."
"If the challenge is lost within thirty moves, the punishment …"
…
In the beginning, there were many people who didn't know the details of the Hidden Dragon Competition and wanted to challenge a few more people tomorrow to see if they could enter the top thirty.
But now, after the inner sect elder explained the details, many people who weren't confident in their own strength immediately dispelled this idea.
What a joke!
Unless they had enough confidence in themselves, if they rashly challenged someone and lost within a hundred moves, they would be punished, and the punishment wouldn't be light.
Moreover, the faster the person they challenged defeated them, the heavier the punishment they would receive.
Today's Hidden Dragon Competition also came to an end amidst the sighs of a group of people.
Some people sighed because they didn't enter the top thirty.
Some people sighed because they didn't have the courage to challenge tomorrow.
Some people sighed because their juniors didn't perform as well as they expected.
"There's no more sound transmissions."
Ever since he followed the Black Dragon Elder back to the Fire Dragon Arena from Blue Feather Mountain, Duan Lingtian hadn't heard any more sound transmissions from the person who threatened him earlier.
Thinking of Blue Feather Mountain's guess and Linghu Renjie's fearlessness, Duan Lingtian gradually stopped taking this matter seriously.
Then, he, Ding Yan, and Hou Qingning walked to their temporary residence.
These new disciples were all arranged to stay in the same place.
On the way, Hou Qingning looked at Ding Yan with a smile. "Ding Yan, Duan Lingtian probably won't be challenged tomorrow … but I'm afraid you'll be challenged a lot."
"You've entered the top thirty today, but don't fail miserably tomorrow."
Hearing Hou Qingning's words, Ding Yan lightly shook his head. "Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be a problem."
"However, although the top thirty should be in the bag … it's still extremely difficult to enter the top twenty. After all, my cultivation is still too low. "
Ding Yan sighed.
"Today's provisional top thirty. Among the thirty, you are the only Lower Godking."
Duan Lingtian smiled. "I'm sure even your uncle would be pleased with your results." “
Uncle Sikong only told me to do my best. He didn't set any targets for me. "
Ding Yan said.
"He didn't set a target for you to enter the top ten?"
Hou Qingning stared at him. "There's an Emperor Ascension Pill in the top ten. Once the Emperor Ascension Divine Pill is consumed, the bottleneck between High-Level Divine King and Low-Level Divine Emperor will be broken. "
"In the future, as long as you accumulate enough energy, you'll be able to enter the Lower God Emperor Realm from the Upper God King Realm!"
Hou Qingning's eyes lit up when she mentioned the Emperor Ascension Pill. Even though she was still far from the Upper God King Realm, she still looked forward to it.
If she consumed it now, she wouldn't have to worry about the bottleneck between the Upper God King Realm and the Lower God Emperor Realm.
"I'm not in a hurry."
Ding Yan smiled as he shook his head. "Uncle Sikong told me that it's almost impossible for me to enter the top ten this time … Even if I don't obtain the Emperor Ascension Divine Pill this time, when I become a High Level Divine King, he will still ask the Sect Master for one."
Hou Qingning's expression froze.
Even Murong Yinyue looked at Ding Yan enviously.
"Ding Yan."
Hou Qingning came back to his senses, and a bright smile appeared on his face, "Why don't you go back and tell your uncle to get two more Emperor Ascension Pills for me and Third Miss?"
"Well … I'll talk to him after the Hidden Dragon Competition ends."
Ding Yan hesitated for a moment and agreed. "It should be … no problem."
"Haha …"
Before Murong Yinyue could refuse, Hou Qingning laughed. "Ding Yan, I'm just joking with you."
"I don't deserve it."
"It's enough that you have the heart."
Just now, even Duan Lingtian felt that Hou Qingning was making things difficult for him. After all, he wasn't Ding Yan's father but his uncle.
Now, when he heard Hou Qingning's words, he shook his head.
He was wondering why Hou Qingning suddenly became so impolite. It should be known that he was very polite in front of him … It turned out that he was just teasing Ding Yan.
"You …" Ding Yan smiled helplessly.
However, he had already decided that when he went back, he would mention it to his Uncle Sikong. After all, Hou Qingning was one of his few friends.
As for Murong Yinyue, if there were no accidents, she would definitely be a couple with Hou Qingning. Asking for one for her was no different from asking for one for Hou Qingning.
When Duan Lingtian and the others returned to their residence, night had already fallen.
It was a quiet night.
…
On the second day, Duan Lingtian, Ding Yan, and the others who were tentatively ranked in the top 30 of the Hidden Dragon Competition became the arena masters and accepted the challenges of others.
Of course, each person only had two chances to challenge.
Moreover, once they challenged and were defeated within 100 moves, they would be punished.
Under these circumstances, although there were people who challenged, it wasn't many. There were only ten or so people, and they were all people who had a certain level of confidence in their own strength … During this process, Ding Yan was challenged a few times.
However, Ding Yan successfully defeated his opponent every time.
There were two people who persisted past 100 moves.
The others were defeated by Ding Yan within 100 moves, and they would also be punished.
After a morning, one of the arena masters who were tentatively ranked in the top 30 was eliminated. After that, no one else was eliminated. Until noon, no one issued another challenge.
In the afternoon, the 70 people who were tentatively ranked from 31st to 100th would become the arena masters and accept the challenges of others.
The rules were the same as well.
After an afternoon, before night fell, the results were out.
Again, one person was eliminated and replaced, and the others were as steady as … Mount Tai.
"These ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan are too insightful … Only two of the people they arranged to enter the top 100 were eliminated and replaced."
The scene before their eyes caused many people to sigh with emotion.
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised by this.
No matter what, these ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan were mid-level Divine Emperors. It was normal for them to be able to make such accurate judgments after watching a group of Divine Kings fight.
Henceforth, the top 100 people in this Hidden Dragon Competition were determined … After that, it would be the top 30 people and the last 70 people in the top 100 to determine the specific rankings.
"The Hidden Dragon Competition will end in a few days."
Duan Lingtian's heart shook. For some reason, he couldn't help but recall the voice transmission that threatened him that day.
"I hope it's really just a bluff …"
