However, Xiao Chen appeared rather calm. Not to mention the Golden Dragon Palace's Qin Mu, just the Silver Dragon Palace's Yuan Xi was already somewhat problematic.
Even with the Five Element Divine Lightning, he could not be careless. He could be confident, but he could not be arrogant.
Xiao Chen asked cautiously, "What's the first test?"
The First Palace Master and Elder Tian Yun did not elaborate. They only said, "There are only two stages in the competition between the seven outer palaces. The two stages are closely connected. Whether one can obtain a good rank in the first stage will directly affect the second stage."
Since he couldn't say it, Xiao Chen didn't ask anymore.
Night quickly fell. This night was destined to not be peaceful.
The Golden Dragon Palace's heaven-class core disciple directly entered the Qin Residence. The Golden Dragon Palace's Third Palace Master, Qin Feng, called Qin Mu over.
"Uncle Feng, why have you called me here so late at night?" Qin Mu had already guessed something. It must be about the Competition between the Seven Palaces.
The Golden Dragon Palace's Third Palace Master, Qin Feng, cut to the chase. "Get straight to the point. Do not hold anything back in the first stage tomorrow. This is different from the past. This first stage directly affects the results of the entire Golden Dragon Palace. "
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "It's that serious?"
"En, don't ask anything else. You must get first place."
Qin Mu nodded. "I'll try my best."
Although that was what he said, he did not care too much about it. Even if he did not use his trump card, he was confident that he could obtain first place in the first round without any pressure.
The same scene was occurring in the various Outer Palaces' encampments.
Every leader of the Outer Hall conveyed similar requests to their chief disciples.
Don't hold back. Fight for first place in the first round.
This caused the atmosphere of the competition between the seven outer palaces to become especially tense. The first stage was about to start an intense slaughter with all their might.
It was indeed a little different from the previous contests between the seven palaces.
The next morning, the heaven-class core disciples of the various outer palaces set off at the same time.
The venue of the competition between the seven outer palaces was a forbidden area in the ancient Divine Dragon City.
By the time the First Hall Master arrived with Xiao Chen and the others, the people from the other outer palaces had already arrived.
At the Golden Dragon Palace, Qin Mu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Chen before closing them again.
Several of the heaven-class core disciples in the outer palaces looked over and fixed their gazes on Xiao Chen. They pointed at him and discussed softly.
Clearly, this Heaven Dragon Palace's white-clad bladesman had already attracted their attention before the competition between the seven outer palaces started.
Previously, when Xiao Chen fought two against one, he defeated the Golden Dragon Palace and Silver Dragon Palace heaven-class core disciples.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen had just arrived in Divine Dragon City, and he already faced off with Qin Mu.
Everyone had a whole new level of respect for him, feeling quite shocked.
However, apart from curiosity, there was also a hint of pity in her gaze when she looked at him.
Everyone knew that anyone who offended Qin Mu, no matter who he was, wouldn't have a good ending.
Xiao Chen remained calm and ignored their gazes. He curiously looked at the field in front of him, which was a huge circular array disc.
The formation plate shone with a colorful brilliance.
Boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy flowed between the runes, and runes pulsated from time to time.
The five-colored radiance formed an energy ball that overlapped and revolved around each other, emitting a gorgeous radiance.
Many people whispered among themselves, wondering what this formation was for.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, dragon roars rang out in the sky. Five beams of light streaked across the sky from the south to the north.
They formed a staircase of light and shadow.
A few figures appeared above and stood on the stairs made of light and shadow.
"It's Ancestor Dragon City's people!"
When the people below saw the dragon motifs on those figures' clothes, they became somewhat excited.
In the end, the core of the Divine Dragon Empire's authority was in the hands of Ancestor Dragon City. Only by entering it could one truly come into contact with the empire's core.
Only then could one truly be qualified to move unhindered in the northern region, to gain a place on the vast stage of the entire Central Great Realm.
A white-clad old man on the steps of light exuded a strong might and pressure as he looked down. Then, he said, "In the first stage of the competition between the seven outer palaces, the various outer palaces will send their strongest people into the formation and then come out. According to the order, the first to come out will be the first. The second will be the second, and so on.
"If one obtains the first rank, all the heaven-class core disciples of the outer palaces will be qualified to enter the second stage. The outer palaces of the second rank will have forty slots to enter the second stage. The third rank will have thirty slots. The remaining outer palaces will have only fifteen slots. "
Right after the white-clad old man spoke, the disciples of the various outer palaces went into an uproar.
To think that the first stage was set up like this.
At this moment, Xiao Chen understood what the First Palace Master meant. If he could obtain the first or second rank, he would be able to obtain the second rank.
If he obtained the first rank or second rank, all the heaven-class core disciples of the entire Heaven Dragon Palace would be able to enter the second stage.
As the resources of the Heaven Dragon Palace were limited, it had far fewer heaven-class core disciples than the other outer palaces.
Forty slots were sufficient for all the heaven-class core disciples to enter the outer palaces.
Even the third rank would be completely acceptable.
No wonder the First Palace Master could not hide his excitement when he learned that Xiao Chen had arrived in time.
"Various outer palaces, quickly select your candidates."
"Golden Dragon Palace, Qin Mu!"
"Silver Dragon Palace, Yuan Xi!"
"Red Dragon Palace, Ding Jun!"
"Blue Dragon Palace, Feng Wuheng!"
…
"Heaven Dragon Palace, Xiao Chen!"
Every time a person was confirmed, a figure would turn into a streak of light and fly into the five-colored energy ball in front of the formation plate.
"Good, the candidates have been confirmed. Next, the various Outer Palaces will confirm the two candidates. Enter the formation and block off the people from the other Outer Halls. "
The white-clothed old man glanced at it and said.
This sudden appearance stunned the leaders of the various outer palaces.
The news he heard last night didn't include this.
The expression of the Heaven Dragon Palace's First Palace Master sank. This was undoubtedly an enormous blow to the Heaven Dragon Palace, which had the weakest foundation.
If the experts of the other halls managed to stop Xiao Chen, it would undoubtedly widen the gap between him and the chief disciples of the other outer halls.
At that time, if he were to encounter the competitors of the Outer Hall, he would definitely be able to escape.
Xiao Chen, who was injured by the sniper, would immediately fall into a disadvantageous position. Before the battle even started, the situation had instantly become extremely disadvantageous.
As for the other outer palaces with stronger accumulations, the Golden Dragon Palace and the Silver Dragon Palace, when they heard of the second rule, they were shocked.
After being stunned for a moment, he smiled.
To them, this was a great piece of news.
The First Palace Master looked around and fixed his gaze on Lu Feng, Bai Yunfeng, and Xiao Jinyu.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Lu Feng and Xiao Jinyu. These two were experts of the Sword Dao. If they worked together, they should be stronger.
"It will be the two of you then. Do your best to attack. Snipe the top disciples of the other outer palaces that you run into. This will reduce some of the pressure on Xiao Chen."
The First Palace Master looked at the two sincerely. At this moment, Xiao Chen was no longer fighting alone.
Lu Feng and Xiao Jinyu felt immense pressure. They said, "This disciple will definitely do his best."
"I'll leave it to you."
The disciples of the Heaven Dragon Palace started to feel somewhat anxious.
Originally, they already felt somewhat nervous when they let Xiao Chen face the top disciples of the other outer palaces. Now, there was this rule.
The situation could not help but worsen.
The fate of all the heaven-class core disciples of the outer palaces now fell on Xiao Chen's group of three.
Everyone watched as Lu Feng and Xiao Jinyu entered the energy ball at the same time.
Then, the candidates of the various outer palaces were confirmed.
The five-colored energy ball in the center of the formation plate suddenly gave off a dazzling and piercing light.
In the next moment, the resplendent light vanished. Three ancient bronze doors with dragon motifs carved on them appeared in the center of the formation plate.
Whoever could push open one of these doors and walk out would be the first.
The competition between the seven outer palaces officially began at this moment.
The First Palace Master sighed softly, "Man disposes, and heaven disposes. I have already done my best. Tianyun, come with me to meet Ancestor Dragon City's Lord Feng. "
The two soared into the air, together with the leaders of the various outer palaces, and went to the light steps that stretched across the sky to greet Ancestor Dragon City's Lord Feng.
At the same time, they paid attention to the battle below.
They anticipated the top heaven-class core disciples of their respective outer palaces being the first to push open the bronze doors.
The heaven-class core disciples of the various outer palaces also waited anxiously.
After all, this also determined whether they could enter Ancestor Dragon City or not.
Everyone silently cheered for the top disciples of their outer palaces.
