"The people of the Holy Land are indeed not people we can guess at. They are too strong."
The crowd in the spectator stands all looked up to the sky. When they saw the beautiful scarlet Vermilion Bird, their eyes were filled with fanaticism and awe.
Compared to the others, Xiao Chen did not feel anything. He did not feel any pressure at all.
Song Que had already shattered his Martial Spirit and it was hidden in more than three hundred acupoints in his body. There was only one Qi whirlpool left in his body. Hence, his expression was calm; everything was normal.
Looking at the fiery-red Vermilion Bird in the sky, Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a mocking smile.
This is interesting. The moment he appeared, he used the aura of a Holy Beast to put on a show of strength. He wanted everyone to know who the main character was.
Now, it circled around in the air a few times but still refused to come down. Does it like the attention of the crowd that much?
"Boom!"
Five minutes later, the Vermilion Bird circling in the sky turned into a beam of fiery light and landed on the platform. In a breath of time, it landed firmly on the ground.
Five people wearing long red robes appeared before the crowd. There was a golden Vermilion Bird embroidered on their robes, covering their entire body.
There was an old man and four youthful boys and girls. There were two males and two females. The males were handsome and elegant, and the females were beautiful and pure. They were very pleasing to look at.
There was no aura scattered. The energy from the fall of ten thousand meters was perfectly merged into the ground, vanishing into thin air.
This showed their strong control over their strength. Xiao Chen was rather impressed by this move. If it were him, he would not be able to do it so casually and naturally.
The First Elder, Jiang Chi, quickly stood up. He had a respectful expression and some anticipation as he asked the old man, "Elder Yan, how is our Young Master's talent?"
The old man with the family name Yan smiled gently and said, "His aptitude is excellent. He can cultivate in the Phoenix's Passion Palace for three years. If his comprehension ability is high, he might even become a core disciple of the Phoenix's Passion Palace."
The group of Heavenly Saber Pavilion elders all had smiles on their faces. Even the usually calm Jiang Chi had an excited expression on his face.
"Many thanks, Elder Yan," Jiang Chi cupped his hands in thanks.
"Greetings, Elder Yan!" The Clan Heads and elders on the platform reacted and immediately stood up. They cupped their hands in greeting to the Phoenix's Passion Palace's elder.
Elder Yan raised his hand slightly. The smile on his face did not diminish, making him look very amiable. However, there was an undetectable hint of arrogance in his words. He said, "Everyone, there is no need to be so polite. I am only an outer elder of the Phoenix's Passion Palace.
After everyone sat down, they discovered that the people from the Holy Land were much more amiable than they had imagined. Their favorable impression of the Holy Land increased even further.
Xiao Chen's eyes were as sharp as lightning. He caught a flash of arrogance in the old man's eyes. The arrogance of the youths behind him was even more obvious.
The Phoenix's Passion Yan slowly sat down and said softly, "The Phoenix's Holy Land. Sect's Holy Land Sect's Sect 'Palace's Sect.
"At the same time, I wanted to see if there were any geniuses that could be excavated in the Great Qin Nation. That was why I asked Elder Jiang to help me invite everyone here.
Feng Xuanyi asked softly, "Elder Yan, can you tell us more about the Sacred Ground's selection criteria?"
Elder Yan replied, "It is similar to what everyone is thinking. There will be a competition that will allow us to see the actual combat abilities of the cultivators. After that, we will measure their aptitude. However, there is a threshold before that."
"What threshold?" Feng Xuanyi asked.
Elder Yan glanced behind him and a young man immediately walked out. "This person's name is Luo Li. He is ranked within the top hundred of our Phoenix's Passion Palace's outer disciples. As long as you can exchange ten moves with him, you will be qualified to participate in the Grand Competition. Otherwise, if there are too many of them, it will be troublesome."
When the crowd heard that Xiao Chen had only exchanged ten moves with an outer disciple, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. This person was only a Superior Grade Martial Saint. He should have no problem exchanging ten moves.
Luo Li sneered in his heart when he saw everyone's expressions. This group of lowly people really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do they really think that it's so easy to last 10 moves against me?
Luo Li pushed his feet off the ground and moved through the air in a red arc. Then, he landed firmly on an arena.
Wherever it passed, the red sparks on the streamline would linger for a long time. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
Elder Yan nodded and said, "Let's begin. If you are confident in your strength, you can come forward and give it a try. Those who can last ten moves will be qualified to participate in the Grand Competition."
Elder Yan's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear. Every cultivator in the spectator stands could hear it clearly.
As long as one could last ten moves, they would be qualified to participate in the Grand Competition. When they heard this, almost all the cultivators were tempted. Their expressions were filled with excitement.
Although they knew that the Phoenix's Passion Palace disciples were extraordinary, if it was only ten moves, most of the cultivators felt that they could give it a try.
"Hu!"
A gray figure descended from the spectator stands and landed firmly on the ground. It was a cultivator who was confident in his own strength and had come to test his moves.
This gray-robed cultivator was no older than twenty years old. He had a squarish face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He looked very ordinary and had a sword hanging at his waist. However, his eyes were spirited and his steps were majestic. With one look, it was clear that he was an expert.
This person performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Xihe Province's Flowing Cloud Sect's Ye Fan. Please give me some pointers."
"So, it is the Flowing Cloud Sect's Ye Lan. This Flowing Cloud Sect is considered a large sect in the Xihe Province. Ye Fan is the strongest person in this sect. If he makes a move, he should be able to test out the strength of the Holy Land's people."
"Ye Lan has been a Medial Grade Martial Saint for a long time. He should not have any problems enduring ten moves. If even he cannot do it, then half of the people here will be eliminated."
Some of the people who recognized Ye Lan started discussing in soft voices.
Luo Li wore red robes and his long hair fluttered in the wind. A look of disdain flashed in his eyes as he said indifferently, "You are not worthy. Let me give you some pointers. One move is sufficient to defeat you."
"Arrogant! I want to see how incredible the Holy Land's people are."
When Ye Fan heard this, he became slightly angry. He placed his right hand on his sword hilt and drew it with a 'shua' sound.
He brandished his sword and in an instant, he sent out thousands of sword lights at Luo Li like a torrential storm.
The sword images flickered and the wind howled. Every strand of sword light contained a trace of cold Qi. When there were thousands of sword lights, there were thousands of strands of cold Qi.
The temperature of the arena immediately plummeted. The surface of the arena, which was infused with Frost Iron, was soon covered in a layer of ice.
"This is the Flowing Cloud Sect's Ice Sword Shadow, a peak Earth Ranked Martial Technique. I did not expect this Ye Lan to have practiced it to Small Perfection. He can send out thousands of sword lights in an instant. The sword Qi covered in the state of ice is not easy to break."
An elder leading the Misty Sword Sect's team commented from the platform.
The Misty Sword Sect of the Great Qin Nation was an expert in using the sword. Their understanding of Sword Techniques was definitely higher than everyone else's. Everyone nodded to themselves at his comment.
The only Sword Monarch present, Feng Xuanyi, also felt that this sword shadow was not easy to break. Although Ye Fan had not comprehended the state of ice, the ice on the ground showed that his understanding of ice was very close to that of a state.
When the Phoenix's Passion Palace's Elder Yan saw all this, he smiled faintly. He was not worried at all.
He thought to himself, If I can't even break this Sword Technique, then why did I call Luo Li out to embarrass himself?
When Luo Li saw the Ice Sword Shadow filling the sky, the corner of his lips curled up. He revealed a mocking expression, "You have not even comprehended the state of ice, and you are not embarrassed to come out and embarrass yourself. Melt!"
After Luo Li spoke, a ring of red flames appeared under his feet. The flames rose up from his feet and circled around his body. Finally, they formed a fiery-red Vermilion Bird image. "Zi!
Zi! "
A heat wave invisible to the naked eye spread out from Ro Li's body. The ice on the ground was instantly evaporated into water vapor.
After a while, the Ice Sword Shadow slowly melted in the air. When it was ten meters away from Luo Li, the cold Qi on the Ice Sword Shadow had all evaporated into steam.
With the disappearance of the cold Qi, the Ice Sword Shadow was completely broken. All the Ice Sword Shadow automatically dissipated in the air.
Everyone in the spectator stands had their mouths agape. They had never imagined that the thousands of sword shadows would be broken so easily.
Everyone thought that the Ice Sword Shadow would not be able to injure Luo Li. However, they did not expect him to break it without even making a move.
Feng Xuanyi suddenly understood. He muttered, "One has not even comprehended a state, while the other has comprehended the state of fire to Great Perfection. Furthermore, he has the support of an Ancient Divine Beast Martial Spirit. They are on completely different levels."
Boundless steam spread out in the arena, covering Luo Li's figure like a mist.
"Hu chi!"
The steam filled the air and a fiery-red figure soared into the sky. Then, he turned into a beam of red light and flew rapidly towards Ye Fan.
"Pa!"
While Luo Li was in the air, before he got close, he sent out a palm strike. When the palm wind struck the air, it gave off a boundless roar and formed an intense Qi tornado.
Flames surged out from the Qi tornado. In an instant, the force of Luo Li's palm strike brought out a large flaming tornado.
The flaming tornado formed a strange formation in the air. It vaguely looked like the silhouette of a Vermilion Bird. While this palm strike looked simple, it was actually very profound.
When Ye Fan saw the flaming tornado in the sky, his expression changed drastically. He placed two fingers on the bottom of his sword and quickly slid upwards.
Every time his fingers slid upwards, the light on the sword became brighter. When his fingers slid past the tip of the sword, a boundlessly resplendent sword light soared into the sky.
The sword light was thirty meters long and extremely sharp. Its aura was vast and mighty, trying to scatter all the flames in the sky.
Suddenly, Luo Li shouted in the air. The Vermilion Bird Martial Spirit above his dantian immediately gave off a melodious cry. A strand of Holy Might shot at Ye Fan at lightning speed.
The vast Holy Might caused the Martial Spirit in Ye Fan's body to tremble involuntarily. His Essence immediately became unstable.
The incomparably sharp sword light immediately showed signs of loosening. That incomparably sharp aura disappeared without a trace in an instant.
