The next morning.
Shenlang and the others dressed up neatly and prepared to head to the venue. Today was the official opening of the martial arts convention.
Today was also the day of the selection for the Ranking List of Young Masters, or in other words, the elimination round. There were a total of 10,000 Xiantian Realm martial artists under the age of 50 participating in the competition.
The process was very simple. Five thousand people would be eliminated today, and half of them would be eliminated tomorrow. Only five hundred people would be left for the final battle to determine the top 150.
Finally, these 150 people would enter the final battle to determine their ranking.
Overall, the martial arts convention would last for a month, and this month would be longer as time went on.
After all, the battles would be more intense as time went on, and there might be injuries that would affect the battle. Therefore, the officials gave sufficient time to recover.
In fact, in this kind of competition, the people from the big factions still had the advantage. After all, the big factions had a deep foundation and all kinds of healing pills. No matter what kind of injuries they suffered, they could help their disciples recover quickly.
Rogue martial artists would be at a disadvantage. Even if they could rely on their own martial arts to recover, they might not be able to recover well. At that time, it would more or less affect their strength.
"Ding!"
"Mission: The Rise of a Magnate."
"Mission Description: As a magnate, one must be invincible."
"Mission Reward: Enter the Ranking List of Young Masters. Reward: 1,000 slaughter points.
Top 100 on the Ranking List of Young Masters: 2,000 slaughter points.
Top 50 on the Ranking List of Young Masters: 3,000 slaughter points.
Top 20 on the Ranking List of Young Masters: 5,000 slaughter points.
Top 10 on the Ranking List of Young Masters: 10,000 slaughter points.
Top 3 on the Ranking List of Young Masters: 50,000 slaughter points.
Top 1 on the Ranking List of Young Masters: Can choose three Insightful Emptiness Realm martial artists.
Failure Penalty: If the host does not enter the Ranking List of Young Masters, he can choose to commit suicide. "
"Hmm?"
"Is this the rhythm of wanting me to go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?"
Hearing the system's notification, Shenlang felt that the system was giving him benefits.
The system's reward this time was really generous. No, it should be called generous, it could be called super generous.
In Shen Lang's eyes, entering the Ranking List of Young Masters was a simple matter. With his strength, as long as he did not encounter any of the top 20 experts on the Ranking List of Young Masters in the elimination round, he would be able to enter the final battle without any suspense.
Shenlang didn't find it difficult to enter the top 20. However, entering the top 10 was a bit difficult. This time, the top 10 was different from the previous top 10 on the Mortal List. In the past, the top 10 on the Mortal List had been selected by the Tenji Pavilion based on information. Although they were very authoritative, they didn't necessarily include all the geniuses of the Zhenwu Continent.
For example, the Tenryū Temple. Shenlang didn't find any Tenryū Temple geniuses on the list. He only found a lay disciple of the Tenryū Temple at the bottom of the list.
There were countless geniuses in the 21 major forces that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It was impossible for them to only have a few people on the Mortal List. Unparalleled Sword He Tianxing was one of them. Although He Tianxing was very strong, Shenlang felt that it was a bit of a stretch for him to be ranked 21st.
He didn't believe that only one person in the 21 major forces was stronger than He Tianxing. If there wasn't only one person stronger than him, then why wasn't there a record on the Mortal List? This was interesting.
Every force only had one or two geniuses on the Mortal List. For example, Evil Spirit Sect's Little Evil King Xie Hen and Evil Spirit Young Master were both on the list. However, Evil Spirit Young Master was ranked far behind them. In Shenlang's opinion, even if Evil Spirit Young Master was only at the mid-stage of the Connate Realm, he was definitely not weaker than He Tianxing.
There were many geniuses gathered in Martial City this time. It was hard to say if there were any dark horses.
One had to know that a loser's counterattack seemed very melodramatic, but no one could guarantee that there weren't any.
Shenlang didn't dare to be careless. The system's reward was very tempting. He didn't want to miss it. Therefore, first place was his only goal.
.....
The venue of the Martial Arts Circle Convention was in Martial City's military camp. This place had already been cleared out by Ji Wudao. There were tens of thousands of troops stationed in Martial City all year round. Therefore, this place could be used as the venue for the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
The military camp was a city within a city. Shenlang's group of four came here, reported their names, and followed the crowd in.
As soon as they walked in, they saw martial artists with sabers and swords everywhere. They stood in groups of twos and threes and chatted.
Shenlang's group of four had just walked in, and they attracted a lot of attention.
However, most of them were looking at the Enchanted Moon, who was beside Shenlang.
"Hmph!"
The Enchanted Moon snorted coldly, and a wave of aura spread out.
Sensing the Enchanted Moon's aura, the martial artists' expressions changed. They hurriedly retracted their gazes. Even those who didn't retract their gazes became respectful.
The martial artists here were all here to watch, while the contestants had already gone to the center of the military camp.
Shenlang's group of four followed the directions and came to the center of the military camp.
The center of the military camp had been changed to the Martial Arts Plaza because of the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
As soon as they arrived, Shenlang saw tens of thousands of people gathered in the Martial Arts Plaza. The scene was spectacular.
There were ten huge platforms in the Martial Arts Plaza. The platforms were circular and three meters tall. Together with the other platforms, they formed a flower pattern. It was grand and beautiful.
The ten platforms were surrounded by a circle of VIP seats. Above the VIP seats were the audience seats. From afar, the entire Martial Arts Plaza looked like an iron pot. The bottom of the iron pot was the arena, and the four walls of the iron pot were the audience seats.
A Qianwu Empire soldier in charge of reception saw Shenlang's group of four coming over. He stepped forward and said, "Are you here to participate in the competition too?"
Shenlang nodded. "Yes, the three of us are here to participate in the competition."
Shenlang pointed at Gao Jianli and Kim No-myung as he said slowly.
"Well, since the three of you are here to participate, follow me. You need to draw lots before the competition."
The soldier said in a formulaic manner.
They followed the soldier all the way to a huge wooden box. The soldier pointed at the box and said, "You can draw a number. Someone will inform you when it's your turn."
Shenlang's group of three reached into the wooden box and each drew a number.
"Three groups of seven."
Shenlang looked at the number in his hand.
Gao Jianli also looked at the number in his hand. "Seven groups of eight."
Kim No-myung's number was "Five groups of five."
The competition this time was divided into groups. Every group of one thousand people would fight with other groups randomly.
The losers would be eliminated directly, and the winners would advance directly.
The three of them were not in the same group. This made Kim No-myung and Gao Jianli a little uncertain. They were not afraid of others, but they were afraid of going up against Shenlang. Not to mention strength, they did not dare to fight with Shenlang because of Shenlang's status.
"Well, the probability is not that high. It's too low for the three of us to meet out of ten thousand people."
Shenlang said lightly.
