Dong! Dong! Dong!
Early in the morning, the sound of a bell came from the Martial Field of the Windy Mountain, wave after wave, spreading out for dozens of miles.
On the mountain road, people from all over the world had gathered.
Among these people, there were leaders of small martial institutions, leaders of big families, head guards of escort agencies, leaders of gangs, business leaders, city leaders of nearby cities, and some famous martial artists.
"Leader Lu, you are here too!"
"Of course I am. The Sky Cloud Martial School is the biggest martial institution within tens of thousands of miles. Our small martial institutions cannot compete with them at all. So this time, I brought a few of my best disciples to watch the battles, hoping to inspire them."
"Hehe, I also brought two young martial artists from the business, to show them what true geniuses are, so they don't get into trouble everywhere."
"Same here!"
These people did not usually interact with each other, but they still knew each other. They walked together in groups of three to five, talking and laughing. At this time, it was obvious who had more power and who was more powerful, because only the powerful ones could make others surround them, not the other way around.
In the inner disciple area, Ye Chen casually closed the door of his courtyard and started to walk towards the noisy martial plaza.
"So many people!" Arriving at the Martial Field, Ye Chen was a little surprised.
Last year, because he was beaten by Wang Gang, he was bedridden for a month, and missed the opportunity to watch the ranking competition. He had never seen such a spectacular scene of tens of thousands of people gathered in one place.
There were ten huge platforms in the Martial Field, each of them was round and three meters tall, and combined with the other platforms to form a flower pattern, it was very beautiful. The ten platforms were surrounded by a circle of VIP seats, and above the VIP seats were the audience seats. From afar, the entire Martial Field looked like an iron pot. The bottom of the iron pot was the battle site, and the four sides of the iron pot were the seats for the audience.
"Ye Chen, over here." In the open space between the platform and the VIP seats, a large group of inner disciples stood there. Wu Zongming waved at Ye Chen.
With a gust of wind under his feet, he walked over.
Wu Zongming was slightly excited as he said, "Group Three and Group Seven's platforms are one after the other. Let's just stay here. But I'm a little nervous now. Look, the people in the VIP seats are all important people. Even your father is here."
Ye Chen followed his gaze and saw his father, Ye Tianhao, and his mother, Shen Yuqing, in the VIP seats.
Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing smiled at Ye Chen, their eyes were filled with expectation and pride. They had never thought that Ye Chen would be able to join the Sky Cloud Martial School's Inner Disciple Ranking Competition. Even if he could join, he would be at the bottom. But now, it was different. They already knew that Ye Chen had reached the Mid Condensing Reality Realm, plus his talent in martial arts, he should be able to get into the top two hundred.
Ye Chen gave them a reassuring look before withdrawing his gaze.
At this time, the inner court disciples were basically all here, only the top ten inner court disciples were still missing.
Suddenly!
The outer sect disciples in the spectator stands burst into cheers that soared to the sky.
"The top ten inner disciples are here. The one in the middle should be Blood Shadow Blade Brother Meng Chong, right?"
"Next to Brother Meng Chong is Iron Fan Brother Yi Qing, Brother Xiao Ye, Sister Zhou Ruo, and Brother Pei Shaoqing. So powerful!"
Just like the others, the inner disciples who had arrived earlier all looked at the ten people at the wide entrance.
These ten people were the top ten inner disciples. Some of them were arrogant and overflowing with killing intent. Some of them were two meters tall and looked like ancient demonic beasts. Some of them had a smile on their faces and looked calm. Some of them had a face like a peach blossom and had a lithe body. Some of them were expressionless and had cold eyes.
As the ten of them walked together, an indistinct, earth-shaking aura spread out, attracting the attention of the important figures in the VIP seats.
"So powerful, just the aura alone is enough to overwhelm people." Wu Zongming gasped.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, he didn't feel anything. He looked around and found that most of the people had lost their confidence and unnaturally looked away. Of course, there were also a small number of people who had excited expressions in their eyes. As long as he could beat them, they would be able to become the top ten inner disciples. What was the purpose of a man's life? Wasn't it just for pride? Who did not want to be powerful and be admired by others? And the top ten inner disciples were the best starting point.
Because the platforms were in different directions, the top ten inner disciples all spread out. On Ye Chen's side, there was' Flying in the Wind 'Feng Ping,' Mad Man 'Xiao Ye, and also Zhou Ruo, who was also one of the top ten inner disciples. There was a total of three people, they were three steps away from each other, not too far away, but not too close either.
"I don't think there are any powerful inner disciples on our side!" Feng Ping looked around and said to Xiao Ye and Zhou Ruo.
Xiao Ye's long hair was draped over his shoulders, he looked extremely wild, "They are still too young. In the past five years, the most unpopular one was only three disciples who got kicked out of the ranking. Normally, it would be good if two disciples got kicked out."
Feng Ping looked away from Ye Chen and the others, he did not pay too much attention to them. After all, without reaching the Late Condensing Reality Realm, there was basically no way one could get into the top ten. In the past five years, there was only one core disciple, Xu Jing, that freak. Even the 'Hidden Fragrance Sword' Zhu Mei got the title of top ten inner disciples when she was only at the Late Condensing Reality Realm, and then became a core disciple.
Zhou Ruo, whose face was like a peach blossom, said lightly: "Don't be too careless, you might fail miserably. The Sky Cloud Martial School might have a second sister Xu Jing."
Wu Zongming said to Ye Chen in a low voice: "You didn't see the ranking competition two years ago, sister Xu Jing won all the battles with her Mid Condensing Reality Realm cultivation and became the top ten inner disciples. When she becomes a core disciple, then brother Meng Chong, the 'Blood Shadow Blade', will have the chance to be the top ten inner disciples."
Ye Chen nodded, he had never seen the full extent of Xu Jing's power. Even in the North-West Plain, she did not use all of her power. It was hard to imagine how powerful she really was. The top ten inner disciples were not easy to deal with, each of them had the power to kill warriors at the same level as them within seconds. It would be very difficult, almost impossible, to beat them.
Wu Zongming changed his tone and said: "But brother Meng Chong, the 'Blood Shadow Blade', was not that powerful the year before. It was only last year that he started to show his power, and no one could stop him. Some people said that he was already in the top ten of the core disciples, and only after the ranking competition, he would be able to challenge the core disciples."
While the two were talking, the head elder of the Sky Cloud Martial School flew onto the platform in the center.
Clearing his throat, the head elder raised his voice and said: "Everyone, welcome to the annual Sky Cloud Martial School's inner disciple ranking competition. This year's ranking competition is the same as the previous years. There will be ten groups, and each group will have a seeded contestant with a number of zero. They will participate in the group competition after five rounds, and all the previous rounds will be considered as wins.
The competition will be done by drawing lots randomly. The two people whose numbers are drawn will have to fight on the platform to determine the winner. Also, the competition will be based on a point system. You will get two points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero for a loss. The top three in the group will have the right to compete in the finals for the top ten inner disciples. "
"Let's cut to the chase, the ranking competition officially begins."
As soon as the head elder finished speaking, the entire martial field became noisy again, and the sound waves reached the sky.
Nodding with satisfaction, the head elder flashed back to the Sky Cloud Martial School's elder seats.
Next to the platform, the deacons had already started to draw lots.
"The first group, number three against number nine!"
"The second group, number five against number twenty-three!"
"The third group …"
Hearing the head elder, all the inner disciples walked onto their respective platforms and started to fight with their opponents.
