Long Yu would not look down on others for no reason, but Qi Ziguang was worthy of his disdain.
The disdain in his eyes was also a natural display of sincerity, which made Qi Ziguang hate him even more.
However, Long Yu naturally did not care about this.
If he was afraid, he would not have chosen to mock Qi Ziguang and challenge his subordinate in public, which made him lose face.
Anyway, they were all enemies, so what if he was disdainful?
The atmosphere in the entire martial arts arena was very lively, but not everyone had arrived, so the city lord Sha Yuantian did not stand up and start speaking.
According to the rules, the city lord should speak before the start of the annual Sand City Grand Competition, and then show the prizes.
As more and more people poured into the martial arts arena, it became more and more lively, and the seats around Sha Yuantian were gradually filled with people.
Ye Lun introduced his eight senior apprentice brothers to Long Yu in a soft voice. Long Yu roughly sized them up and memorized them in his heart. Who knows, they might come in handy in the future.
What surprised Long Yu was that among Ye Lun and his eight senior brothers, Qi Ziguang, as the seventh brother, had the lowest martial arts realm.
The second senior brother, Zhu Tao, was a little unworthy of his seniority, as he was only at the Heaven Beginning Realm.
Among the nine senior brothers, the fourth brother was already at the Heaven Flower Realm, while the second and third brothers were only at the Heaven Beginning Realm. As for the eldest senior brother, of course, he was also a powerhouse at the Heaven Flower Realm. One step further, he would be able to break through the bottleneck and become a powerhouse at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm like Sha Yuantian.
Apart from Qi Ziguang, Long Yu would not meet any of them.
However, Long Yu knew that there would definitely be many people secretly targeting him in the Sand City Grand Competition, such as Zhu Tao's subordinates, and maybe one or two junior brothers who were close to Zhu Tao would help him to deal with Long Yu.
"Show me what you've got. Anyway, I'm going to be the chief disciple of the Renhua Realm."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and thought.
Then, perhaps feeling that everyone had arrived, City Lord Sha Yuantian, the old man with shiny black hair who sat in the center, finally stood up and raised his hand.
This action silenced the clamor of the crowd. Everyone raised their heads and looked at Sha Yuantian.
"This year is the 108th anniversary of the construction of my Yellow Sand Heaven City. At the same time, it also coincides with the great selection that is held once every twenty years. The Sand City Grand Competition this time will be a warm-up for everyone participating in the Grand Selection. "
Sha Yuantian looked around, a smile appearing on his face, "In order for everyone to obtain a good result in the great selection, according to the usual practice, this year's Sand City Competition will have more generous rewards than usual."
After saying this, he turned around, raised his hand, and waved away the black cloth on the shelf beside him.
Two Heaven Realm Sand City Guards were standing next to the shelf, guarding the prize that was about to be given to the winner of the Sand City Competition — a huge pile of medicinal pills and Combat Weapons!
"The Sand City Grand Competition will be divided into groups of Early Mortal stage cultivators. The top three will receive a Low Heaven Tier Pill, and the first place will receive an additional Low Heaven Tier Pill. The same goes for Glory Realm and Human Tribulation Realm groups. "
Long Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This practice was really good. In order for everyone to obtain a good result in the Grand Selection, the reward for winning the Sand City Grand Competition was doubled.
Of course, this was only for Long Yu, because he was determined to get the first place in the Glory Realm.
'Two different Mid Heaven Tier Pills might be enough for me to step into the Glory Realm. As long as I can break through the bottleneck …'
Long Yu thought to himself, looking forward to the Sand City Grand Competition even more.
"… As for the groups in the Heaven Realm, in addition to the original rewards, the top three will receive two more Heaven Tier Pills each!"
Sha Yuantian continued, causing an uproar among the crowd.
Long Yu didn't mind. An Earth Tier Combat Weapon was useless to him. After all, a Combat Weapon needed to be used in conjunction with a martial technique to maximize its effect, and most of the martial techniques that Long Yu practiced were bare-handed.
As for the Dragon Spear of Nine Nether, he hadn't used it for a long time. He only kept it as a souvenir left by his father.
"Every year, the strength of our Yellow Sand Sky City is constantly improving. One day, we will become the strongest in the Tiangang Realm. I hope that everyone will continue to work towards this goal."
After saying this, Sha Yuantian finally sat down and waved his hand. "Let's start with the matches of the Human Realm and announce the results of the draw."
As he said this, a burst of colorful light suddenly appeared in the sky above the martial arts arena, forming a series of characters. It was the list of all the participants who had signed up for the Sand City Grand Competition.
The first to appear was the list of the matches of the Human Initial Realm, the Glory Realm, and the Human Tribulation Realm.
Long Yu raised his head and looked at the sky. With a cursory search, he found his name — Mountain Ghost.
"There are more than 50 cultivators in the Glory Realm signing up for the Grand Competition."
This number really surprised Long Yu. It seemed that Yellow Sand Sky City still had a strong foundation.
It should be known that martial arts cultivators in the Glory Realm could definitely become an overlord on the Heavenly Mandate Continent, and there were more than 50 martial arts cultivators in Yellow Sand Sky City.
This was the number of participants in the Sand City Grand Competition who were under 40 years old.
In the entire Yellow Sand Sky City, there were definitely more than 100 martial arts cultivators in the Glory Realm, which was quite a terrifying number.
"I'm afraid there are only a dozen or twenty martial arts cultivators in the North Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm …"
Long Yu guessed based on what he saw when he participated in the Sacred Selection of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. The strength of the North Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm was far inferior to that of Yellow Sand Sky City.
Of course, the North Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm was only a branch. The Heavenly Mandate Sacred Institute had a total of five departments. Together, their overall strength should not be inferior to Yellow Sand Sky City.
Long Yu couldn't help but think that when he had just left the Dragon Bone Tower, he had killed Yuan Haoning, a martial arts cultivator in the Renhua Realm of the Nine Heaven Star Palace. It seemed that the Nine Heaven Star Palace had suffered a great loss.
There were a total of 52 participants in the Renhua Realm of the Sand City Grand Competition. According to the order of drawing lots, they would fight in pairs, and the final winner would get the position of first place.
The rules were simple, but also cruel, because as long as one lost, they would be eliminated and would not have the chance to continue.
Of course, this was not a problem for Long Yu.
"My first opponent is Chu Chengke."
Long Yu thought of the bare-bodied man with big eyes who tried to kill him on the streets of the Sand City ten days ago. He didn't expect his first opponent to be him.
Was there something fishy about the order of drawing lots? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental …
But no matter what, it didn't affect Long Yu much.
In the group of the Renhua Realm, the first to fight was Gu Jun. His opponent was dejected as soon as he went up, obviously feeling that he was very unlucky to have drawn Gu Jun as his first opponent.
Although he felt that it was impossible for him to get into the top three, it was too embarrassing to be defeated in the first round.
Of course, although he knew that he was no match for Gu Jun, he still insisted on going up and fought with Gu Jun. As the saying goes, if you lose, you should lose beautifully. This made Long Yu quite admire him.
It seemed that except for a few people, the martial arts practitioners in Yellow Sand City were not bad.
Gu Jun won easily. After returning, Long Yu flew to the field.
As Long Yu appeared in the field with a ghost mask, 80% of the people in the entire martial arts field turned their eyes to him.
And opposite of Long Yu, the bare-bodied man with big eyes, Chu Chengke, appeared with a big saber.
"Last time, Young Lord Ye protected you, but this time, you won't be so lucky. I will beat you until you beg for mercy."
Chu Chengke said with a grim smile, his whole person was like a butcher.
Long Yu didn't say a word. As soon as he went up, he raised his hand, and the Netherworld Qi directly condensed in his hand.
"Awakening Reincarnation, Drunk Lying in the Yellow Spring!"
Long Yu punched twice in succession, blasting towards Chu Chengke across the air. The Netherworld Qi immediately spread out!
Chu Chengke didn't expect Long Yu to attack directly, but he didn't panic. The big saber in his hand directly slashed over horizontally. A resplendent saber light swept out, directly meeting Long Yu's two pitch-black fist lights.
"Netherworld Burst!"
When Long Yu saw that Chu Chengke was focused on dealing with his fist lights, he directly blasted a punch towards the ground without thinking, condensing the Netherworld Burst under Chu Chengke's feet.
Those two punches that Long Yu made the first move already made Chu Chengke use all his strength to resist.
Now that he suddenly felt something was wrong under his feet, Chu Chengke immediately put away the big saber and flew straight towards the sky.
However, in the next moment, a pillar of Netherworld Qi suddenly exploded, enveloping Chu Chengke who was flying in the sky.
Cultivators in the Human Glory Realm were much more resistant to beatings than ordinary Martial Cultivators. After withstanding Long Yu's Netherworld Burst, Chu Chengke actually didn't die on the spot. Instead, he forcefully flew out of it, swayed a few times, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
All of this happened in less than three breaths of time.
Chu Chengke's words about beating Long Yu until he begged for mercy were still lingering in everyone's ears. However, at this moment, the bare-bodied man with big eyes had already fallen to the ground, twitching all over.
"Mountain Ghost … wins!"
The Martial Cultivator in charge of the referee took a long time to react. At the same time, he quickly called for other Martial Cultivators to carry Chu Chengke out to prepare for treatment.
Long Yu glanced at Chu Chengke. If he had a good healing pill, his injury wouldn't be fatal.
"So fast!"
Eighty percent of the people in the martial arts arena had been paying attention to Long Yu's battle. When they saw that he had defeated Chu Chengke so quickly, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
After all, Chu Chengke had won third place in the Sand City Grand Competition last year.
But now, he couldn't even deal with a man with a ghost mask in the Early Human Stage, the so-called Mountain Ghost!
Not only was he unable to deal with him, but he also retreated with serious injuries in less than three moves. This showed how terrifying the "Mountain Ghost" was.
This scene successfully attracted the attention of Sha Yuantian and some of his personal disciples nearby.
