The Left Prince of the Tang Empire, Chu Chaosheng, held great power in the Tang Empire. It could even be said that his power was second only to the other members of the royal family.
It was a pity that he had yet to step into the legendary realm of Oneness of Heaven and Man. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for Long Yu.
As the crowd discussed softly, everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the Imperial Dojo. Then, they saw a group of people surrounding a middle-aged man in a royal robe.
This middle-aged man was wearing a golden royal robe. He had an arrogant posture and was the best among the crowd! A faint smile hung on his mature and charming face, as if everything in the world was under his control.
Chu Chaosheng was originally a collateral descendant of the Chu Family. If it wasn't for his high talent in Martial Arts, he would have been a young prince by now. He would never have become an honorable existence like the Left Prince.
Moreover, it was useless to just have a high talent in Martial Arts. Chu Chaosheng's most commendable trait was his intelligence!
As a member of the royal family, Chu Chaosheng had extraordinary intelligence since he was young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current position. Along the way, he had experienced too much. He had gotten rid of external and internal enemies such as Long Zaitian and Man Xin!
"Hmm?"
Long Yu realized that as soon as Chu Chaosheng entered the Imperial Dojo, the first thing he did was look at him!
There was a hint of playfulness in that look. It seemed that Chu Chaosheng was quite interested in the current Long Yu.
He had given the Longyue Golden Pill to Long Yu. However, although Long Yu had consumed it, he wasn't affected by the Mind Grasping Grass in the Longyue Golden Pill. Instead, he had directly advanced by relying on the Longyue Golden Pill!
This made Chu Chaosheng even more interested in Long Yu.
He was sure that Long Yu definitely had a secret that he didn't know about!
Chu Chaosheng's look made Long Yu wary. However, he wasn't afraid of anything.
Long Yu knew very well that to Chu Chaosheng, weakening the seven sects through the Seven Sect Competition was much more important than getting rid of Long Yu. Chu Chaosheng definitely wouldn't have the time to deal with him for now.
"Long Ce and the imperial princess."
Long Yu then saw that behind Chu Chaosheng, Long Ce and the Imperial Princess in a snow-white silk robe had also arrived at the Imperial Army Fighting Field.
It seemed like the Martial Arts Competition of the Seven Sects was indeed something that the entire Tang Empire would pay attention to!
At this moment, the Imperial Princess had come with Chu Chaosheng. Her motive was obvious. She definitely wanted to restrain Chu Chaosheng and prevent him from acting recklessly in this place.
Although the Imperial Princess's martial arts realm was not high, the identity she represented made Chu Chaosheng not dare to act recklessly!
Chu Chaosheng, along with Long Ce and Chu Feng, quickly arrived at the largest spectator stand in the middle. He sat down in the middle and immediately after, Chu Chaosheng opened his mouth and announced the start of the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects.
"The Seven Sect Martial Competition has a long history in the Tang Empire. It has always been a place for the younger generation of the seven sects to compete. In the past Martial Competitions of the Seven Sects, generation after generation of powerhouses emerged and became the pillars of my Great Tang Empire … "
After a series of superfluous words, Chu Chaosheng quickly explained the rules of the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects.
His voice was very magnetic and contained boundless appeal. As soon as he spoke, everyone in the field stopped whispering.
"The Martial Competition of the Seven Sects will last for nearly a month and will be divided into two rounds. The first round will be a free-for-all, while the second round will be a one-on-one battle between the strong. "
Chu Chaosheng looked around and explained the rules of the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects, "In the free-for-all, all the disciples of the seven sects who are at the same Martial Dao Realm will gather together for a free-for-all. In the end, one-seventh of the disciples will be able to obtain a certain number of martial arrows for their respective sects …"
Through Chu Chaosheng's explanation, everyone quickly understood the rules of the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects.
The martial arrows were used to calculate the performance of the various sects in the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects. The more martial arrows a sect obtained, the better their performance.
The final ranking would definitely be determined by the number of martial arrows.
In the first round of the free-for-all, all the disciples of the eighth stage of the Martial Path from the seven sects would fight together. If they lost their ability to fight or admitted defeat, they would be eliminated until there was only one-seventh of them left.
For example, there would be a total of seventy disciples of the eighth stage of the Martial Path from the seven sects participating in the free-for-all. In the end, the ten people standing on the field would obtain a martial arrow for their respective sects.
In the second round of the free-for-all, the disciples of the ninth stage of the Martial Path would compete. In the third round, the disciples of the first stage of the True Spirit Realm would compete … and so on.
Because Yu Qianning was the only disciple under the age of twenty-five who was in the fifth stage of the True Spirit Realm, there would be a total of six battles in the free-for-all, one every two days.
The victors of the first round would obtain a martial arrow for their sects, two for the second round, three for the third round, and so on.
In order to be fair, Yu Qianning, the only disciple in the fifth stage of the Martial Path, would not participate in the free-for-all. However, she would be able to obtain seven martial arrows for the Thousand Thread Sect.
With Yu Qianning, the Thousand Thread Sect would be in the lead with seven martial arrows right from the start.
Even if the other six sects had any objections, they wouldn't voice it out. This was because Yu Qianning's cultivation had reached the fifth stage of the True Spirit Realm, so it was only natural for the Thousand Thread Sect to obtain seven martial arrows.
After the free-for-all, it was time for the experts to compete.
The rules of the experts' competition were a little complicated, so Chu Chaosheng didn't explain it. Long Yu only knew that if the disciples wanted to participate in the experts' competition, they would have to stand until the end of the free-for-all.
The free-for-all tested the overall strength of the disciples of the seven sects.
As for the competition of experts, it was a competition of the peak strength of the young disciples of the seven major sects. Only the true experts could win the martial arts competition for their respective sects at this stage.
Long Yu was sure that at this stage, he, Yu Qianning, and the other experts from the various sects would have a winner.
"It's not just a competition between the strongest. Those in the eighth and ninth stage of the Martial Path can also win glory for their sects, but …"
Long Yu narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself.
If that was the case, was Chu Chaosheng really confident that the Thousand Thread Sect would win? Without a doubt, Chu Chaosheng had arranged something for the Thousand Thread Sect to display greater strength!
As for what Chu Chaosheng had planned, no one could imagine it. They could only wait until the battle started.
"Now, let's begin the first round of the free-for-all. All disciples in the eighth stage of the Martial Path of the seven sects, get ready to step onto the Imperial Army Martial Field! "
Chu Chaosheng waved his hand and smiled, "The Imperial Army Martial Field is the training ground of the Imperial Army. It's your honor to step onto the Imperial Army Martial Field."
Honor, it was indeed an honor.
Participating in the Martial Competition would make one famous in the entire Great Tang Country. After this, the names of the outstanding youths would definitely spread across the entire Great Tang Country!
Unfortunately, Chu Chaosheng's scheme was involved in the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects this time, causing many people to lose the feeling of honor, and there was only the hot blood of wanting to fight and kill!
"Yi Yue, you must be careful. If you feel that you can't do it, immediately get off the stage and admit defeat. Don't let others take your life."
Ling Han solemnly instructed Ling Yi Yue from not far away from Long Yu.
Ling Yi Yue happened to be in the eighth stage of the Martial Path and would participate in the first round of the free-for-all.
The first round had the most participants. The Zhentian Clan alone had eleven disciples in the eighth stage of the Martial Path. Today, they were the main characters.
Ling Yi Yue was one of them.
The Zhentian Clan's situation wasn't looking good. In such a chaotic battle, only the Frost Sect was a firm ally. The other five sects could be enemies.
The Qingcheng Pavilion might not target the Zhentian Clan too much, but the disciples of the Hidden Fire Hall and the Broken Blade Sect would definitely not show mercy to the Zhentian Clan!
Life was the most precious thing. Even if they couldn't defeat their opponents, it would be considered a success as long as they could stay alive.
"Senior Brother Ling, don't worry. We will definitely protect Junior Sister Ling!"
The other disciples in the eighth stage of the Martial Path from the Zhentian Clan immediately stood up and said to Ling Han.
In such a chaotic battle, unity was the most important thing. Only by being united could they win in the end!
"Brother, don't worry. Although I'm not strong, I won't drag the sect down."
Ling Yi Yue might be a young girl, but her eyes were filled with determination. At this moment, perhaps only one martial arrow was left to decide the ownership of the sect's cultivation method!
Even though Ling Yi Yue was only in the eighth stage of the Martial Path, she wouldn't easily retreat when she could do her part.
"Be careful."
Ling Han nodded, but his eyes were still filled with worry.
Compared to the other disciples in the eighth stage of the Martial Path, Ling Yi Yue was really young. One had to know that some disciples in the eighth stage of the Martial Path were already in their mid-twenties.
Although they were all in the eighth stage of the Martial Path, their combat experience was much richer!
The eighth stage of the Martial Path was mainly a competition of martial skills. The battles at this stage could be said to be simple and crude, especially in such a chaotic battle. One careless mistake could cost one their life.
Of course, the purpose of the Seven Sect Martial Competition was for the disciples of the seven sects to learn from each other and improve together.
Therefore, the act of taking someone's life would undoubtedly cause a huge conflict between the sects!
It would undoubtedly be excellent if one could drive the opponent off the stage without killing them. However, in a chaotic battle, such opportunities were too rare.
If one wanted to live, they could only rely on themselves!
The battle of the eighth stage of the Martial Path was about to begin.
In the preparation stage, everyone was carefully observing the candidates of the other sects.
The Zhentian Clan had a total of eleven people. The other seven sects had about ten disciples in the eighth stage of the Martial Path. Adding the seven sects together, there were exactly seventy-seven people in the eighth stage of the Martial Path.
In other words, there would be eleven people who could win this round and release eleven martial arrows.
Which sects would be able to split the eleven martial arrows?
