It was these two young men that were taken to be true opponents by that seventh level Void Initiation Stage young genius of the Darkstone Empire that had comprehended seventh level Saber Concept?
They slightly didn't dare believe it.
After all, if it was according to this, then wouldn't it mean that these two young men were existences at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above?
Actually, it wasn't only the group of young geniuses from the Windfall Empire that didn't believe it, even the other six young geniuses from the Darkstone Empire weren't willing to believe it as well.
Long Yun possessed the strength to crush Mo Xuan after a year, and it had already caused them to be shocked.
If it was according to Long Yun.
Didn't that mean that Duan Lingtian and Su Li's current strengths were sufficient to crush Mo Xuan?
In this way, the number one young expert of their Darkstone Empire was too worthless, right?
In merely a year, he was completely surpassed by three people that were inferior to him a year ago?
"Duan Lingtian … Su Li …"
Actually, even King Yong slightly didn't dare believe it now.
If it was only Duan Lingtian, he wouldn't doubt it.
But with Su Li included, it caused him to be slightly uncertain.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a wave of ear piercing howls of the wind flashed over from afar.
At the same time, a figure stood in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena.
Instantly, the gazes of the group of people from the Darkstone Empire and Windfall Empire were drawn over.
The sky above the Cage Battle Arena usually prohibited martial artists from standing in the sky.
The people that were capable of standing in the sky were only members of the Cage Battle Arena, or in other words, members of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family.
Presently, the person that stood in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena was a white clothed young man. The white clothed young man was around the age of 35, had a cold expression, slanted brows, and a graceful bearing.
"He's the person that's presiding over the Dynasty Martial Competition today?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised.
"So young!"
Actually, it wasn't only Duan Lingtian that was surprised, even the representatives and young geniuses of the various Empires and the spectators in the inferior spectating area were shocked by the age of the white clothed young man.
After all, the people that presided over the Cage Battle Arena in the past were at least middle aged.
Only a presiding with a formidable strength was capable of deterring the slaves and demon beasts that carried out the Cage Battle …
And to a certain extent, 'powerful' was equivalent to 'old'.
"Welcome the representatives and young geniuses of the 36 Empires to participate in our Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition. I'm the host of the selection for the first phase of the Martial Competition today."
The white-clothed young man's face was cold as he spoke slowly.
Subsequently, the white clothed young man changed his tone and went straight to the point, and he directly stated the objective of the Dynasty Martial Competition today.
All in all, the final objective of the Dynasty Martial Competition today was to decide on the most outstanding 30 young geniuses amongst the 360 young geniuses of the 36 Empires.
On the other hand, these 30 young geniuses would gather with all the young geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty tomorrow and compete for the qualifications to participate in the martial competition.
"The others should already know about these rules, right?"
Duan Lingtian discovered that the representatives and young geniuses of the various empires in the secondary spectator seats weren't very surprised after hearing the white-clothed young man's words.
In next to no time, the white clothed young man started to introduce the specific rules of the martial competition today.
Duan Lingtian listened seriously.
"The rules of the Dynasty Martial Competition today are extremely simple … The 360 young geniuses will each draw a number token that belongs to them, and they'll undergo the selection according to the order of the number tokens."
"Due to the large amount of people, we'll carry out 10 selections at the same time at the beginning! Besides that, there'll be people specially assigned to record every single selection. "
The white clothed young man had only just spoken up to here when 10 figures soared up into the sky from below to stand behind him.
These were 10 middle aged men with expressionless faces, and they were like 10 statues.
Obviously, these were the people that were in charge of recording the results of the battles.
"The first round of the selection will eliminate ordinary people; the second round of the selection will eliminate another half of the people … At that time, only 90 people will remain."
"After the 90 people are decided on, the rules will change. Whereas if there's a young genius with a good strength at the beginning but is eliminated due to bad luck, then so long as you're unwilling … At the end, you'll be given a chance, and you'll still have the chance to obtain one of the final 30 positions. "
The white clothed young man finished speaking in a single breath.
Subsequently, it was to draw a number token.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
Nine swift figures soared up into the sky and each descended onto a second-class spectating area.
These were nine young men, and each of them held a large wooden tray in their hands. On top of the wooden tray, there were 40 metal tokens.
The 40 tokens were facing down, and the back was facing up.
On the surface, they were exactly the same.
"Looks like this drawing of tokens is to allow us to choose the token on top … Whereas when these tokens are flipped open, the numbers on them are different."
Su Li's voice entered into Duan Lingtian's ears.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Early on when the young man that held the wooden tray descended onto their second-class spectating area, his Spiritual Force had already silently stretched out to cover the tokens on the wooden tray.
Although Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force was unable to be used as an eye.
But he was still able to use his Spiritual Force to detect the grooves carved on the front of the token and determine the numbers on it …
"Eh! The numbers on these 40 tokens were actually messed up. There's a number 3 token, a number 52 token, and a number 327 token … There's no pattern at all. "
Now, Duan Lingtian was practically able to confirm it.
The tokens on the wooden trays in the hands of the nine young men that had ascended onto the second-class spectating area were all disordered, and there was no pattern at all.
For example, amongst the 40 tokens on the wooden tray in the hand of the young man that approached Duan Lingtian and the others, only one of the nine tokens before number 10 was present, and that was number 3.
Number 1, number 2, and number 4 to 9 tokens weren't present on the wooden tray.
On the spectating area that Duan Lingtian was at, there was a total of 40 young geniuses from the four great Empires, and it just happened to correspond to the 40 tokens.
The young man first walked over to Duan Lingtian's side, and the nine young geniuses of the Darkstone Empire were the first to obtain their tokens.
"If there's one person missing here, then please draw the token on behalf of this representative … At that time, when it's the turn to draw the token you hold, the other person who fought against the possessor of this token will be given a bye and automatically advance to the next round."
The young man that held the jade tray arrived by King Yong's side and spoke to King Yong.
Obviously, he knew that a young genius from the Darkstone Empire had left as well.
"Mmm."
King Yong nodded, and then he raised his hand and intended to casually draw a token.
"Wait."
Duan Lingtian called out to King Yong in a timely manner.
"Hmm?"
King Yong looked at Duan Lingtian with a bewildered expression, and he had a puzzled expression. "Duan Lingtian, you …"
"Big Brother."
Duan Lingtian looked at the young man that held the wooden tray and asked with a light smile. "May I know how we'll undergo the advancement selection after we've drawn our tokens?"
"The possessor of the number 1 token will battle the possessor of the number 2 token, the possessor of the number 3 token will battle the possessor of the number 4 token … In this way, the possessor of the number 359 token will battle the possessor of the number 360 token."
The young man explained patiently.
"Understood."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then he looked at King Yong and said via voice transmission, "King Yong, please choose the fifth token from the left in the row that's closest to you."
King Yong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He didn't know why Duan Lingtian asked him to choose that token.
But to him, it didn't matter which token he chose. After all, no matter which token he chose, he would have to assist the possessor of the other token to advance.
For example, if he chose the number 1 token, then the possessor of the number 2 token would win without a fight and advance.
On the other hand, if he chose the number 28 token, then the possessor of the number 27 token would advance.
Whoosh!
King Yong raised his hand and flipped over the token that Duan Lingtian spoke of, and he held it in his hand.
At this moment, the group of young geniuses from the Darkstone Empire saw it clearly.
The token in King Yong's hand was precisely the number 31 token.
Subsequently, the group of young geniuses from the Darkstone Empire challenged the tokens.
After a few people started to choose, Duan Lingtian and Su Li joined in as well.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian's gaze was locked tightly onto one of the tokens at this moment.
That token was at a corner, and no one paid any attention to it.
Only when the other eight young geniuses from the Darkstone Empire had drawn their own tokens did Duan Lingtian slowly flip open the token that belonged to him.
As soon as Duan Lingtian's token was flipped open, the young man that held the tray was stunned.
King Yong was stunned as well.
The remaining eight young geniuses were all stunned.
Heavens!
What have we seen?
"3 … Number 32?"
Su Li glanced at the token in Duan Lingtian's hand, then glanced at the token in King Yong's hand, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "Duan Lingtian, your luck is really not bad. You advanced in the first round. "
The token in King Yong's hand could be considered to belong to Mo Xuan.
No matter who it was, so long as one matched this token that belonged to Mo Xuan, that person would be able to obtain the privilege of advancing in the first round.
Now, this privilege had been obtained by Duan Lingtian.
Number 32!
The token in King Yong's hand was precisely number 31.
Under numerous envious gazes, Duan Lingtian put away the number 32 token.
Right at this moment, a surprised voice transmission entered into Duan Lingtian's ears in a timely manner. "Duan Lingtian … You … How did you know?"
This voice transmission belonged precisely to King Yong.
Earlier, when Duan Lingtian asked King Yong to choose the token, even though King Yong felt it was strange, he didn't know why Duan Lingtian would do that.
Only when King Yong saw Duan Lingtian draw the number 32 token did he realize that all of this was planned by Duan Lingtian beforehand.
Or perhaps, Duan Lingtian knew the numbers behind these tokens beforehand.
"Intuition."
Duan Lingtian said via voice transmission.
"Intuition?"
The corners of King Yong's mouth twitched, yet he didn't believe Duan Lingtian's nonsense.
