Someone recognized Xuanyuan Zhantian and said, "That is the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King, Xuanyuan Zhantian, the top genius of the Boundless Sea. Indeed, a true dragon can shine wherever it goes. Even in the Tianwu Continent, its sharpness is still unstoppable."
When faced with Xuanyuan Zhantian's mockery, Xuanyuan Zhantian quickly recovered his calm. His strong self-confidence did not put any pressure on him; he was just slightly surprised.
"Xuanyuan Zhantian, I have heard of your great name for a long time. You truly live up to your reputation as the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King. However, there can only be one true dragon in this great era. I will personally slay the dragon in the arena battles!"
Xuanyuan Zhantian withdrew his aura and laughed loudly. "I'm afraid that you will fail to slay the dragon and end up in the dragon's belly. You'd better not meet me. Otherwise, your strong self-confidence will fall to rock bottom, never to rise again."
"Boom!"
Just as the two faced each other, their gazes locked in an intense clash in the air, the two true dragons tore through the thick dark clouds at the same time. Then, golden pillars of light descended.
"Xiu!" The stone pillars returned to the ground and landed in Dragon Sealing City.
"Roar!
Roar! Roar! "Only at this moment did the frozen stone dragons come to life. The ten-odd little dragons that had been suppressed for a long time soared into the sky and roared loudly, venting the frustrations in their hearts.
The scene of the dragons soaring into the sky was very majestic. This was especially so when the ten-odd golden pillars of light landed at the same time. It was an eye-opener for everyone.
After that, golden dragons soared and tore through the clouds at nearly every moment.
However, Xiao Chen, who was on the roof, lost the patience to continue watching. While he watched the fight for the dragon pillars, he also casually looked around the city.
Dragon Sealing City was the only intact ancient city in the world. There were still many unique buildings from the Ancient Era in the city, which was an eye-opener.
After seven or eight minutes, two figures flew over. It was a receptionist who led Liu Suifeng over. Based on his dispirited expression, he should have failed the challenge.
"I failed. There are too many geniuses. Only after coming here did I realize that I am nothing," Liu Suifeng sighed as he shook his head at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Don't be discouraged. Just watch this competition carefully. If you put your heart into it, you should have no problem advancing to Martial Monarch."
Liu Suifeng nodded with a serious expression. He said, "Definitely. With the great age before us, I do not wish to stop here."
After another seven or eight minutes, Mu Chen and Zhang Lie also arrived. As expected, both of them failed.
However, the two of them were very open-minded. They had originally intended to broaden their horizons and did not hold much hope. The four of them gathered together and did not seem bored. They began to casually chat about some things.
Mu Chen glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Before I came down, I took a look at Brother Murong's situation. He's very ambitious and wants to directly obtain the right to become a seeded participant. Until now, there has been no result."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "With his strength, it is a little difficult for him to compete for the seeded spot. However, it should not be difficult for him to qualify. Have you seen Senior Sister Yun? How is her situation?"
"Hehe, I'm here." Right after Xiao Chen spoke, melodious laughter rang out in everyone's ears. Yun Kexin wore a light-colored floral dress and walked over with a smile on her face.
Based on the smile on Yun Kexin's face, it was very different from the others. Without even guessing, it was clear whether she qualified or not.
"Did you pass?" Liu Suifeng and the others asked.
Yun Kexin nodded gently and smiled, "I was lucky to qualify. Three days later, I will be able to fight in the Wind Cloud Arena."
Mu Chen and the others revealed envious expressions. However, they were all from their own sect, so there was no need to be jealous. They all cupped their hands and congratulated Yun Kexin.
After chatting for a while, Liu Suifeng suddenly said, "Murong Chong lost."
Everyone looked up and saw that the fight for the remaining nine seeded participants had reached its most intense stage.
The one who defeated Murong Chong was the scion of the Qian Clan, one of the eight Noble Clans, Qian Wen. Of course, it was not a true defeat. The fight for the seeded spot was not to the point where one side had to die.
The Qian Clan's trump cards and killing moves would not be revealed so early. They could only retreat in the face of difficulty.
However, not long after, Murong Chong obtained the rights to another dragon pillar. It was as Xiao Chen said; he easily qualified for the arena battles.
Resonant dragon roars resounded endlessly. Many golden dragons soared into the sky, filling the sky with golden light.
For thousands of years, Dragon Sealing City had been dark. Today, it was dazzling, dazzling everyone's eyes.
As time slowly went by, the first stage of the Five Nation Youth Competition's preliminaries came to an end. After some intense competition, the four hundred elite spots were finally decided.
Three days later, the arena battles would begin. Then, the exciting show of the Five Nation Youth Competition would officially begin.
When the thick, dark clouds above retracted, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion Elders finally arrived at the courtyard under Jiang Chi's lead.
Xiao Chen and the others on the roof jumped down as well.
Jiang Chi swept his gaze across the somewhat wretched courtyard. He sighed softly and said, "It has been hard on you all. Staying in this broken down place is because our Heavenly Saber Pavilion has declined too much in the past few years."
The courtyard was indeed very simple. Even if the group of ten-odd people split it evenly, each person would get a room. There was not even a private backyard.
It would be very inconvenient to cultivate at night.
Of course, this was the rule of Dragon Sealing City. It was not fair or unfair. If you were strong, you would naturally get a luxurious courtyard.
The courtyards of the eight Noble Clans and ten great sects, the rich and powerful families of the Five Nation Youth Competition, were much more spacious and luxurious.
Not only did everyone get a small courtyard, but there were also special cultivation rooms left behind from the Ancient Era for the participants to make their final preparations.
Murong Chong said sullenly, "It will be fine after this Five Nation Youth Competition. The later generations of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion will not be like us again."
Shen Manjun smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this first. There are many special cultivation places in Dragon Sealing City. Our sect will pay for your expenses there."
Jiang Chi walked forward and gave each of the three people who had qualified to take the test a spatial ring. As for the others who had not, they all received a wooden box.
Xiao Chen checked with his Spiritual Sense and was mildly astonished. There were quite a lot of Medial Grade Spirit Stones in the spatial rings — a total of four hundred thousand.
With the three of them combined, there were more than a million Medial Grade Spirit Stones. It looked like the Heavenly Saber Pavilion had put in a lot of money for this Five Nation Youth Competition.
Jiang Chi's expression did not show any signs of heartache. The fact that three people qualified for the next round had already greatly exceeded his expectations.
In the entire continent, only four hundred people qualified. It was not easy for the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to get three spots.
Even their old rival, the Misty Sword Sect, only got two spots. The Night Spirit Palace was even worse. Only Mu Chengxue barely qualified.
As for the other Noble Clans of the Great Qin Nation, aside from the Duanmuqing, none of them qualified.
Jiang Chi smiled faintly and said, "Go and rest first. If you have time tomorrow, you can stroll around Dragon Sealing City. There are many interesting things in the city."
High in the sky, thick clouds covered the entire Dragon Sealing City. As a result, night came very early. After four hours, the sky turned completely dark.
Xiao Chen gently pushed open the door to his room and leaped up. Then, he flew towards the ring-shaped mountain range. He scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense and discovered many other cultivators with the same goal as him.
The competition was about to start. Naturally, he had to organize the Martial Techniques he learned. He could not slack off.
After finding a desolate mountain peak, Xiao Chen paused for a while in midair. Then, he quickly landed in a rather flat forest.
The cold night wind blew, but Xiao Chen, who was wearing only a thin layer of clothing, did not feel too cold.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen calmed down completely. Then, he placed his right hand on his saber hilt and drew it.
A surging saber intent immediately surged out and spread out in the forest. Countless whirlwinds blew, picking up large amounts of fallen leaves and making them hum.
Xiao Chen's saber intent slowly rose. Soon, it reached the might of Small Perfection. Then, it continued to grow stronger.
The forty-percent-comprehended saber intent stretched the whirlwinds into a long straight line. The fallen leaves in the line spun rapidly like sharp blades, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The leaves looked like they could not hold on any longer. They looked like they would explode at any moment. However, they did not explode in the end. This showed that Xiao Chen had perfect control over them.
The fifty-percent-comprehended saber intent caused a strong wind to blow. Tiny cracks appeared on the fallen leaves.
The sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent caused the leaves in the forest to explode. The ferocious saber intent turned into a saber wind and swept through the forest. "Ka ca!
Ka ca! "
The trees broke. When the saber wind was over, all the trees in the forest had been cut in half.
If others saw this scene, they would be greatly astonished. Bai Qi's peak Small Perfection saber intent was already sufficient for him to stand out from the crowd.
However, the saber intent that Xiao Chen displayed was sixty-percent-comprehended. He was just one step short of Great Perfection.
However, Xiao Chen did not get too excited about the situation in the forest. He remained extremely calm.
If he forcibly raised his saber intent, Xiao Chen would be able to raise it to sixty-percent-comprehended as well. That would be no weaker than Sima Lingxuan's. However, it would be very difficult for him to control it as he pleased.
It looked like he was just one step short of being able to control it as he pleased, and his saber intent would reach Great Perfection. However, this step was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Xiao Chen said softly, "My saber intent can only be considered to have reached forty-percent-comprehended. However, if I really meet Sima Lingxuan, I can still go all out. There is no need to fear him."
Sima Lingxuan had heaven-defying self-confidence. Although he, Xiao Chen, was low-key, he did not show any signs of weakness.
No matter how overwhelming your aura is or how confident you are, I do not fear you. I will defeat you.
Xiao Chen slowly moved through the forest. He executed the Martial Techniques that he knew — the Wukui Saber Technique, the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, and the strongest Four Season Saber Technique — one by one.
A strong aura spread through the forest. Explosions resounded without end. By the time Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, the flat mountaintop was riddled with holes.
