There were four other wrestling cities like this in the entire Ancient Desolate Land. They were located on the other three main islands.
"Strange, there are more than ten cities on Longyang Island. Why are all these people heading in the direction of wrestling cities?" Xiao Chen felt confused as he looked at the departing figures.
"I really can't figure it out. Wrestling City has not held a large scale Rank A wrestling ring in the past ten years. Who knows what is going on this time? They actually held dozens of matches."
"He he! Who cares? The Rank A wrestling rings are a great opportunity to earn money. If you win ten matches in a row, you will be able to obtain five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. If you win twenty matches in a row, you will even get an Inferior Grade Secret Treasure."
"I heard that the rewards this time will be increased. I wonder if that is true. If it is, then they will be spending a lot of money."
A group of cultivators who passed by Xiao Chen spoke excitedly about why they were going to Wrestling City.
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression sank. He looked at the sky and saw the cultivators rushing towards Wrestling City. He muttered, "The news has spread so far. It looks like I will meet many famous cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Land in the first round."
The full moon hung high in the sky, and the sky was dotted with stars. Under the bright moonlight, most of the stars were covered up.
In a residence within Wrestling City, the four people in charge of the Heavenly Extermination Union led more than two hundred geniuses from various places to a banquet.
From tomorrow onwards, the cultivators below would start a cruel competition. They would be fighting high-intensity battles for six consecutive days.
Hence, the people in charge of the Heavenly Extermination Union decided to hold a banquet to let everyone relax. At the same time, they would take the opportunity to answer some questions.
Old Li sat in the middle of the hall. Beside him were his three assistants. A long wooden table was placed in front of the four of them.
There were also long wooden tables placed against the walls on both sides. Wine and snacks were placed on the tables. There were three or four cultivators behind each table.
The cultivators chatted happily with each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Senior Li, I heard that in the next Five Nation Youth Competition, the top contestants of the Tianwu Ranking will be able to go to the upper realm."
On the right side, a young cultivator put down the wine cup in his hand and respectfully asked Old Li, who was on the stage.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly quietened down, and everyone's gazes converged onto Senior Li.
The so-called Upper Realm was a mysterious place to everyone. Rumor had it that the Land of the Three Holy Masters was in such a world.
No one knew what kind of world it was. In the Sky Martial Continent, it was said that only those with the strength of Emperor Wu could break through the void and go to the Upper Realm to have a look.
Before reaching Emperor Wu's level, if one wanted to go up and take a look, they would have to participate in the Five Nation Youth Competition.
Of course, not every Five Nation Youth Competition had such an opportunity. Only when the geniuses of the various nations reached their peak would they attract the attention of the Upper Realm. Then, they would be given such an opportunity.
However, in the past few thousand years, there had been no news of anyone obtaining the qualifications to enter the Upper Realm from the Five Nation Youth Competition.
The earliest Five Nation Youth Competition was four thousand years ago. It was said that the young geniuses of the Thunder King's generation obtained such an opportunity in the Five Nation Youth Competition.
Four thousand years was too long. The matter of that time had already become a legend. Now, the young cultivators could only make some guesses; they did not dare to confirm whether it was true or not.
However, this Five Nation Youth Competition had already revealed some suspicions. Not only would the various nations and powers of the Tianwu Continent send people to participate, but even the distant Shallow Seas of the Boundless Sea had already become a legend.
Even the Four Shallow Seas in the distant Boundless Ocean were planning to send people to participate. If it wasn't for the fact that they had obtained the opportunity to go to the previous World Championships, they definitely wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion.
When Old Li heard this, he smiled gently and said, "What I know, the Supreme Elders of the older generation of the sects behind you know as well. Since they did not tell you, naturally, I will not tell you either."
"Why?" everyone asked, feeling confused.
Old Li shook his head and said, "It is not the time yet. Now is the budding age of geniuses. Your generation has not matured yet. Telling you will only bring you harm.
"I can only say that if you all do your best, those with great Luck will be pleasantly surprised."
Jin Wuji and Ding Fengchou sat at a table to the right, at the back. Jin Wuji felt suspicious as he said, "This is strange. Why does your tone sound exactly the same as Master's? First Senior Brother, Master dotes on you the most. Do you have any inside information?"
Ding Fengchou took a sip of wine. A deep look flashed in his eyes, making him look very mysterious.
Ding Fengchou put down his wine cup and shook his head. He smiled and said, "I'm not sure. Don't overthink this. If you are not strong enough, you might not end up well there."
The banquet continued. During this time, someone asked about the rules of the Rank A wrestling ring. Old Li answered all of them, not hiding anything at all.
"Once you go to the wrestling ring, this old man will not be in charge there. Let me make things clear first. If there is any danger, just retreat. Don't try to be brave. As for the rules, they are the rules of the wrestling ring. You do not have any special privileges. Just think of a way to obtain sixty victories. "
"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "Just at this moment, urgent footsteps could be heard. An attendant outside the hall held an engraved card in his hand. He quickly walked over to Old Li and whispered something into his ear.
Old Li's expression changed slightly. He instructed, "Go down first and bring him up. I'll take a look at him personally."
A few of Old Li's assistants looked at the engraved card and said in astonishment, "Elder Huang's engraved card. Who is he protecting?"
Old Li casually put away the engraved card. His expression was somewhat sullen. He said indifferently, "It's that brat who objected so strongly back then. I want to know why this Old Huang wants to protect him so many times."
When the outstanding talents in the hall saw Old Li's expression suddenly turn sullen, they could not figure out what was going on. They felt that something was going to happen.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and the hall became extremely quiet. Everyone looked at the door outside the hall, wanting to see who had offended Old Man Li.
Mu Xinya whispered to Jiang Zimo, who was beside her, "Could it be that the person you spoke of is here again?"
Jiang Zimo said softly, "It is hard to say. However, if it is really him, I will not be of much help. This Elder Li is not from our Myriad Fiend Palace's faction." "Ta!
Ta! "
Soft footsteps came from outside the door. Xiao Chen, dressed in blue robes and holding the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand, entered the hall with a calm expression.
Xiao Chen looked around from the corner of his eyes and scanned the faces of everyone in the hall. He saw a few familiar faces.
There was Xia Xiyan, whom he had fought with before. There was Jiang Zimo, whom he had met before. The silver-haired girl beside Jiang Zimo seemed familiar, but Xiao Chen could not recall where he had seen her before.
There were also his two old friends, Jin Wuji and Ding Fengchou. Unexpectedly, they were here as well. When Xiao Chen felt Jin Wuji's hostile gaze, he ignored it.
The atmosphere in the hall did not seem right. Xiao Chen did not think too much about it. He raised his head and performed a cupped-fist salute to Old Li, "Junior Xiao Chen greets Senior."
However, Old Li ignored Xiao Chen's words. He smiled indifferently and said, "I personally believe that cultivation realm is the foundation of a cultivator. Back then, I was the one who suggested the threshold for Medial Grade Martial King. I really want to know why an Inferior Grade Martial King like you is here. Are you seeking death?"
Xiao Chen's face sank. He remembered the words of the Heavenly Extermination Union's old man. It looked like he was unlucky. The old man in front of him was the one who opposed him back then.
"Go back to where you came from. Enter the wrestling ring and renew the life and death contract. Come back again when you are a Medial Grade Martial King. It would be a pity if you fall here at such a young age.
"Don't think that after being famous in the Great Qin Nation for a while, you have great talent and can ignore the rules. The Great Qin Nation is always the weakest of the five great nations."
When the people below heard Old Li's words, their expressions became playful. It turned out that this person had used his connections to enter and compete with them for a spot.
Unfortunately, his backer was not that strong. This Old Li did not buy it and ended up being humiliated instead.
A quick-witted young cultivator could tell that Old Li did not like Xiao Chen. He immediately followed along and mocked, "An Inferior Grade Martial King wants to compete with us for a spot in the Ancient Desolate Tower? You overestimate yourself."
The others immediately agreed, "Indeed, go back. If you die in the wrestling ring, you will have nothing left."
"This is not the Great Qin Nation. You are a peak genius there. Here, you are nothing."
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. He did not care about the words around him. He only committed them to memory. He looked straight at Old Li and said, "Cultivation is indeed the foundation of a cultivator. However, combat techniques, Martial Techniques, and Cultivation Techniques are equally important. They might even be more important than cultivation."
Old Li snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you are qualified to speak to me? I do not need you to teach me what is the most important. Scram immediately."
Jiang Zimo could not stand it any longer. He said, "Senior Li, as far as I know, Elder Huang took out his engraved card. He has the authority to recommend someone."
Old Li seemed to be afraid of Jiang Zimo's identity. He did not refute him. What Jiang Zimo said was the truth.
However, back then, he was the one who proposed the requirement to become a Medial Grade Martial King. He was also the one who vetoed sending an invitation to Xiao Chen. Now that he had to agree to Xiao Chen's request, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
If he could persuade Xiao Chen to withdraw, he could say that Xiao Chen withdrew of his own accord. Elder Huang would not be able to do anything to him.
However, looking at the current situation, Xiao Chen was very patient. Furthermore, Jiang Zimo had spoken up for him. It would not be good to chase him away.
When Old Li's gaze fell on Xiao Chen, he thought of a countermeasure. He smiled gently and said, "Very well, I will give you a chance. Since you say that combat techniques and Cultivation Techniques are more important than cultivation, then choose a person in this hall.
"Then choose someone from this hall. If you can defeat him within ten moves, I'll give you this opportunity. Let everyone see just how brilliant your combat skills are."
The hall was very quiet. Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with eyes filled with schadenfreude. Clearly, this person had offended Old Li.
It was impossible for Xiao Chen to defeat them within ten moves. The weakest cultivator here was a peak Medial Grade Martial King.
