Su Yi had been in Nine Star City for a few days and had been in seclusion, so there was indeed some news that was lagging behind.
"I will directly draw the first ten forces to enter the arena. When you signed up, you all received a token with different numbers on it. When I draw ten numbers, you will directly enter the arena and wait to be challenged! "
The middle-aged man in mid-air spoke again. His voice was so loud that almost the entire Nine Star City could hear it clearly.
However, as soon as he said this, many people around him were a little confused.
Logically speaking, in this method of fighting and defending the arena, naturally, the closer to the end, the more advantageous it would be.
No one was a fool. If they rushed to fight, they might be taken advantage of by others in the end.
Moreover, the first batch to enter the arena would be at a great disadvantage.
"This method is novel!" Su Yi stroked his chin and thought so.
He found that many people around him had the same feeling as him. After all, this Alliance Conference was held once every 50 years. Many young people had not participated in it at all, so it was difficult for them to know this rule.
However, the next words of the middle-aged man in mid-air directly dispelled everyone's doubts.
"In addition to the first ten forces to enter the arena, each force will only have two opportunities to challenge freely. Once they are defeated, they will be disqualified directly. For the sake of relative fairness, the forces that are drawn at the beginning still have the qualifications to challenge twice! "
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, many onlookers below understood in their hearts.
If this was the case, the first ten forces to enter the arena would not be at a disadvantage, and it would be equivalent to having one more opportunity.
However, it was obvious that they would soon expose their full strength, and it would be easier for them to be targeted. This was probably a minor disadvantage.
"In addition, if no one challenges the arena master for more than two hours, he will automatically advance and obtain one of the ten places!"
Just when everyone was having their own thoughts, the middle-aged man said such a sentence again.
Su Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the intention.
"This is forcing people to come up to challenge. This is a good move!"
Su Yi nodded. He felt that such a rule was perfect.
To be able to participate in the convention, these people were probably more shrewd than the other. No one would rush up to challenge them.
Moreover, everyone understood the principle of picking the soft persimmon to pinch.
If there were a few relatively strong forces in the ten arenas, the number of people who wanted to challenge them would definitely decrease. Most of them would watch from the sidelines while they went to challenge those who were weaker.
What's more, everyone would wait until the deadline before making a move, letting others test the waters first.
But now that there was such a rule, if no one challenged the arena master within two hours, they would automatically advance to the next round. At that time, there would definitely be a lot of people who would be anxious.
There were only a total of ten spots, but there were so many forces participating in the preliminaries. If you don't fight for it, you can only watch as others take away the spots.
"The preliminaries will last for a total of two days. Once the time is up, the last faction standing on the stage will be victorious!"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "Now, I will pick the top ten forces to come up to the stage!"
"Number 58!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a few dozen people near Su Yi burst into a clamor.
It was obvious that the number 58 that was read out was the same as the number on their tokens.
"I am number 76."
Su Yi also took out his token. Looking at the number written on it, he muttered, "It's better not to pick me first. Let's see the overall strength of these forces first!"
He did not want to be the first to go up because there was no benefit to it.
To a certain extent, being in the first batch of ten forces was equivalent to having one more chance than the others.
However, to Su Yi, he felt that he did not need such an opportunity. It was more important to see the overall strength of the others.
Besides, he also looked around to see where some familiar figures were, such as Ji Hannuo from Xuanjian Sect and the rogue cultivator Chen Chuan.
"Number 43!"
"Number 184!"
"Number 307!"
"Number 355!"
…
One by one, the numbers were read out by the middle-aged man. Every time he finished speaking, there would be some gasps of surprise from the crowd.
When the nine numbers were read out, many people who did not want to go up immediately began to breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Yi immediately kept his token. He felt that it would not be his turn no matter what.
"Number 76!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man's voice was heard and Su Yi raised his eyebrows.
"How can it be so accurate!"
Su Yi smiled bitterly. He did not expect to be the last to be read out.
However, he was not particularly concerned about it. It did not matter if he was the first batch to go up.
"The forces whose numbers were read out just now, bring your tokens and go up after passing the test!"
As the middle-aged man's voice fell, figures from all around the arena rose into the air and flew near the arena.
"Big brother, I'll go first!" Su Yi said to Merciless West. Seeing that Merciless West nodded his head, Su Yi immediately flew up.
At the bottom of the arena, a stone that was emitting a faint light had been placed there unknowingly.
Every member of the participating forces had to infuse their vitality into the stone.
"This stone can measure a person's age. Only those who are below 30 years old are allowed to go up to the arena!"
Someone nearby muttered as he explained to the people around him.
Swoosh …
When the first group of twenty people walked out and reached out to touch the stone, they saw a green light appear on each of their palms, constantly flashing.
"Do you see that? The green rays of light mean that you have passed. Every ray of light means that you are one year old. You can count how many rays of light there are on their palms and that will represent how old they are. "
Not far away, the members of some factions were conversing with each other, and they didn't intentionally conceal anything, causing Su Yi to overhear their conversation.
"They are all close to 30 years old!"
When Su Yi saw this, he observed the group of people in front of him and came to this conclusion.
This was very reasonable. After all, the older one was, the higher his cultivation would be.
It was not easy to find a young genius with a profound cultivation base.
"Everyone from the Daoyuan Sect has passed. Go up to the arena!"
After seeing the rays of light, a burly man beside the stone reached out and took the token from one of the people in front of him and said loudly.
He had a record book in his hand. By comparing the serial numbers, he knew which Sect this group of people came from.
Swoosh …
Soon, the second group of people walked up. Just like before, they all touched the stone with their palms and infused their vitality into it.
Again, they were all green rays of light. Every one of them passed, but just like before, they were all close to 30 years old.
Batches of people from the forces passed by. Everything was very smooth and nothing unexpected happened.
Every time the token was taken back, the burly man beside him would report the force that they represented.
However, when it was the seventh batch, a young man touched the stone with his palm and infused his vitality into it. Suddenly, a red ray of light appeared and stunned the onlookers.
Bang!
The moment the light appeared, everyone's vision suddenly blurred. Then, they heard a muffled sound.
Then, the young man's figure was directly sent flying. Accompanied by a string of dazzling blood light, he slammed into the crowd not far away.
"Contempt of the rules of the competition. The first time, there will be a slight punishment. Anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters will be killed on the spot!"
Unknowingly, the middle-aged Origin Emperor who had announced the rules of the competition appeared at the young man's original position. He glanced at the figure on the ground and said coldly.
Such a scene caused many people to feel their bodies tighten.
Some people were forbidden to fight after entering Jiu De City, but they seemed to have forgotten one thing. This was the Chaos Zone, the territory of the most powerful force.
Whoever dared to defy the rules set by them would have to pay the price!
"East Flow Sect, 19 people have passed. Enter the arena!"
The person next to the stone took the token from the other person and said indifferently.
This scene was just a small interlude. While it was alarming, it also made sense.
The next two batches of people continued to follow, and nothing unexpected happened.
"Every force will gather 20 people to participate. Just now, the East Flow Sect lost one person, so their strength will be reduced by a lot!"
"Yes, they can only blame themselves for not knowing what's good for them. They actually wanted to play tricks in this place. Serves them right!"
"After all, the older they are, the stronger they are. They also want to fight hard. This is understandable. Unfortunately, those people underestimated the Alliance's method of determining age!"
"That's true! If possible, it's best to let the selected people reach the age limit to participate. This way, the chances of success will be the greatest! "
Many people around were discussing. They only felt that the East Flow Sect would definitely suffer this time.
With one less person, their strength would definitely be reduced by a lot.
"The last one, where is the 76th force?"
At this moment, the big man next to the testing stone raised his head and looked around.
"Here!"
Su Yi immediately stepped forward and handed the token in his hand to the big man. Then, he stretched out his palm and was about to press on the testing stone.
"Wait!" The big man hurriedly stopped Su Yi.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "
Su Yi felt a little strange. He did the same as the others, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
"Bawang Sect, right?"
The big man had already turned to the page of the 76th force. He raised his head and asked Su Yi, "Haven't the others come yet?"
He was very puzzled. Why was there only one little guy here?
