As long as one entered the arena and defeated an opponent, one would obtain a reward from the Lunar Palace.
This was especially so for the first stage. By defeating ten Lunar Palace female disciples, one would obtain the highest reward. One would have the opportunity to obtain all sorts of rare treasures.
In terms of wealth, as the top city of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, Bright Moon City collected taxes from the merchants in the city every year, easily surpassing that of the other Holy Lands.
If it was any other Holy Land that was hosting such a grand event, they probably wouldn't be as generous as this.
The extraordinarily bustling scene lasted for a long time. As the ten female disciples worked together to knock out the many rash cultivators, the place slowly calmed down.
Xiao Chen could clearly see that without the strength of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, it would be very difficult to defeat the ten female disciples. However, a true expert would not rashly make an appearance in the first stage.
This was probably an invisible threshold that the Lunar Palace had set up.
"I'll go. Both of you, wish me luck."
Qi Wuxue laughed loudly and soared into the air, flying towards a small arena.
After Qi Wuxue made his move, some of the grandmaster-level Martial Sage youths could no longer hold themselves back. The true elites of the Four Seas Hero Gathering started to make their appearance.
Occasionally, one could hear someone being recognized and gaining popularity.
Xiao Chen and Long Fei showed no intention of making a move. Clearly, this was just an appetizer. In the air, none of the Holy Scions in the exquisite jade pavilions showed any intention of making a move.
Long Fei smiled and said, "Qi Wuxue is going to succeed!"
Xiao Chen squinted and looked over. Only one Lunar Palace female disciple remained in the arena where Qi Wuxue was.
However, Qi Wuxue did not seem to be in a rush to obtain victory. As they exchanged moves, he occasionally said something to that Lunar Palace female disciple, angering her out of humiliation.
Xiao Chen smiled speechlessly and said, "This fellow's nature is really hard to change."
Long Fei shook his head as well and said, "His talent is even better than mine. This is truly unfortunate."
As the Lunar Palace disciples entered the arena one by one, Qi Wuxue's arena became exceptionally eye-catching, enraging several people.
When Qi Wuxue saw the situation, he stopped joking and smiled. "Sister, I will not play with you anymore. Go down first. I'll look for you later!"
After saying that, Qi Wuxue gently threw that Lunar Palace female disciple off the arena.
"No need to wait any longer!"
After understanding the rules of the Four Seas Hero Assembly, Xiao Chen stood up and prepared to take the stage.
His target was the highest stage, where Fang Qingxuan was leading the ten elite disciples. It was the most difficult and most eye-catching stage.
From the beginning until now, no one had visited that arena. Even the most arrogant person would know their place.
Many people were looking forward to seeing who the first Son of Saint would be, but they also knew that the Sons of Saints would not appear so early until the time was right.
Therefore, most people didn't look at the arena that attracted the most attention.
They all knew that this arena was prepared for the Chosen. They did not have the qualifications to go up, and they would only be humiliating themselves if they went up.
Long Fei immediately said: "It's not good to go on stage too early. If you expose your own strength too much, it will become harder and harder to fight towards the end."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Long, I know what I'm doing!"
If not for what Yue Bingyun said three days ago, Xiao Chen might not have been so high-profile and rash. He would have waited for a while.
However, now that he wanted to obtain the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, he needed to be high-profile and rash, leaving others speechless.
Before Long Fei's flabbergasted gaze, Xiao Chen's figure flashed and spun three times in the air. Then, he gently landed on the tallest and largest arena in Bright Moon Plaza.
Xiao Chen moved too fast. Furthermore, most people did not expect someone to charge to the highest arena so early. As a result, not many people noticed that there was an additional person in the highest arena.
The instant Xiao Chen landed, his field of vision immediately widened. The arena was much larger than it looked on the outside.
Fang Qingxuan held a bamboo flute in her hand. She was somewhat surprised at Xiao Chen's arrival. She smiled softly and said, "Blue Dragon King, you should not have come now."
Indeed, Xiao Chen should not have come now. No matter how one looked at it, as someone who was competing for the top prize, he should not have appeared so early.
For the sake of snatching the limelight, Xiao Chen exposed his strength too early.
Xiao Chen did not answer. He looked to the front and observed the strength of the group of people on the other side. Xiao Chen knew Fang Qingxuan's strength. She was still far from the Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor.
The ten elite female disciples at the back had pretty good cultivations, all grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
From the finer details, one could discover that the accumulations of the Lunar Palace were much stronger than those of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families, the Haotian Sect.
At the very least, the Haotian Sect definitely did not have so many disciples who were grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
Xiao Chen already had an understanding of the strength of this group of people. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said calmly, "There is no need to say anything more. Miss Fang, make your move!"
"Sorry for the offense, then."
Fang Qingxuan elegantly twirled the bamboo flute around her finger. Then, she moved to the back. The ten white-clad female disciples held their swords and split into two rows.
They stood in a row beside Fang Qingxuan, raised their swords, and charged at Xiao Chen together with the sound of the bamboo flute.
The instant the bamboo flute rang out, the one hundred thousand cultivators in Bright Moon Plaza seemed to wake up from a dream. Only now did they discover that a person had leaped onto the highest arena at some point in time.
Countless pairs of eyes looked over in an instant, finding this extremely inconceivable.
Why would someone choose to go up at this moment? Was he extremely confident in his strength or simply wanted to show off?
Was he not afraid of exposing his strength too early by jumping out now?
However, when everyone thought about it, the many Holy Scions in the pavilion in the air did not move. They immediately felt that this was a cultivator who was about to make a fool of himself.
However, when everyone clearly saw the white figure on the arena, they were all shocked.
"It's the Blue Dragon King, Xiao Chen!"
"What is he trying to do? He is too arrogant. Does he really think that there is no one left in our Heavenly Starry Ocean?"
"This is a ruthless slap to the faces of all the outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Unexpectedly, the first person to go up on the most eye-catching arena is the Blue Dragon King, an outsider."
"Haha! What's so amazing about that? He is just showing off for a while. He will be the one crying later!"
Voices of criticism rose and fell, turning the entire place into chaos. Several people could not help standing up from their seats.
Even on the other small arenas, many of the people who were originally fighting stopped and turned their gazes over.
There was only one question in their minds. Why did none of the outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean think of going up to the highest arena in advance?
Xiao Chen is an outsider. Why does he have the right to ride on their heads? Does he still think that he is the Blue Dragon King with boundless potential?
The many Holy Scions and outstanding talents in the many pavilions in the air, who were resting with their eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes at the reminder of their elders.
The Five Poison Sect's Holy Scions could not help cursing, "Damn! He is too arrogant!"
The Sun Palace's Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and radiated a boundless murderous intent. He snorted coldly and said, "Damn! He is too arrogant!"
The Sun Palace's Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and released a boundless murderous intent. He snorted coldly and said, "He is really not afraid of death!"
Soft voices rang out in the Yinyang Paradise's pavilion. A group of female disciples looked at Xiao Chen, who was on the arena. Their eyes were faintly discernible.
"Elder Sister Susu, this Blue Dragon King is really putting on airs. This is our Heavenly Starry Ocean's gathering, and he, an outsider, actually managed to get ahead of the many Holy Scions and stand on the highest arena."
Tong Susu revealed a look of pity on her pretty face. She said, "How unfortunate. If he does not advance to Martial Emperor in five years, he will only have twenty years left to live. In the end, he is a short-lived fellow. Otherwise, this elder sister would really fall in love with him."
Even now, Tong Susu could not forget the scene of Xiao Chen forcefully drawing his sword when he faced the many outstanding talents in Despair City.
However, in the blink of an eye, Tong Susu's melancholic expression was replaced by a charming one. She smiled seductively and said, "Later, Elder Sister will make a move and defeat you with my own hands. Don't be too harsh. Those stinky men do not know when to stop."
In the Myriad Fiend Island's jade pavilion, Yan Shisan, Di Xinhan, and Mu Qingyun all felt that this was incredible.
Mu Qingyun said, "Big Brother, what do you think he is doing? Right now, your cultivations are no weaker than his. Is he really not afraid of exposing his trump cards?"
Di Xinhan, the strongest person of the Myriad Fiend Island's younger generation and one of Chu Yang's two greatest rivals, entered deep thought. He could not understand what was going on, either, so he looked at Yan Shisan.
Yan Shisan shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly. "Don't look at me. I don't know, either. Given my understanding of him in the Kunlun Continent, he is not the kind of person who likes to stand out. He must have his reasons for doing this. "
"I don't think so. He is probably going to suffer a setback this time. He seems to have underestimated the strength of the many outstanding talents of our Heavenly Star Island. Not to mention the others, just Big Brother's Heavenly Spiritual Body is already at the Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor. Just his physical body alone is unstoppable.
"Furthermore, Brother Shisan's Massacre Sword Dao has already reached the peak. Even the old seniors of my Myriad Fiend Island who use the sword admit that they are not his match."
Mu Qingyun, who had nearly been killed by Xiao Chen with one saber strike, analyzed the situation somewhat indignantly.
Yan Shisan and Di Xinhan did not comment. Although they acknowledged Xiao Chen's strength in their hearts, they did not think that there would be a large gap between them and Xiao Chen now that they had reached the Blue Robed Emperor Realm.
The Lunar Palace's judges were in the most exquisite palace in the air at all times, paying attention to everything below. They paid attention to everything below. Not a single detail in the Bright Moon Plaza could escape their eyes.
Outside the balcony, Yue Bingyun watched as Xiao Chen entered the arena. Then, she shook her head slightly. If this was the method Xiao Chen thought of … Did he think that by making an early appearance and showing off, the judges would be speechless?
In that case, Yue Bingyun would only be disappointed. This was arrogance. There was no way he could snatch away the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet.
A murderous Qi slowly soared amid the flute music. Ten white-clad women soared into the air on the highest arena, dancing around with their swords in hand. This dazzled everyone, too much for the eye to take in.
As the ten women pressed forward, Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and looked, but he could not find any openings.
