Become famous!
These words immediately appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. There was no cultivator in the world who did not love these words. Fame might sound tacky, but when cultivators struggled for their entire lives, they only pursued these two words.
Even Xiao Chen could not avoid being tacky. The so-called difference was actually their attitude toward fame.
Bai giggled and said, "I am ranked fourth, five ranks higher than Elder Brother Xiao Chen. Elder Brother Xiao Chen, please don't say that Bai is weak in the future."
This girl still remembered what I said. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I won't say it. I won't say it. I definitely won't say it."
Ding Fengchou said sullenly, "Almost all the cultivators in the hall on the first floor are talking about the True Dragon Ranking List. However, in the end, this is just the True Dragon Ranking List for newcomers.
"Only the True Dragon Ranking List at the end will have its true use. It will spread your name throughout the entire Tianwu Continent."
Ding Fengchou's tone clearly contained a hint of dissatisfaction. Xiao Chen's expression froze. It looked like this Ding Fengchou had comprehended some strong killing move and was preparing to display his sharpness in the second elimination round.
Jiang Zimo smiled and said, "That's right. The True Dragon Ranking List is more fake than real. In the end, the True Dragon Ranking List will spread. Furthermore, this True Dragon Ranking List will expose you all. I believe that there will be even more people watching you in tomorrow's competition. That is not a good thing."
Kim Tae-ho chuckled and said, "This Fat Lord is not afraid of that. No one can see through this Fat Lord's moves."
Everyone burst out laughing. They wanted to say something, but they held it in and did not say anything. Given his shameless moves, he was not embarrassed to be so cocky. There was nothing they could say.
As they drank tea and chatted, they listened to the ancient music of the high mountains and flowing rivers. This was a rare moment of leisure before a big battle. Everyone was very engrossed.
Tomorrow would be the most intense elimination round in the history of the Five Nation Youth Competition. The nine seeded participants would appear one by one, and the newcomers would do their best to catch up.
Everyone present, other than the naive and pure Xiao Bai, could not help but feel agitated.
The True Dragon Ranking would only introduce the top one hundred contestants. If one did not pass the second round of elimination, one would be unknown in this age of geniuses for a long time.
Everyone here was an outstanding talent. Zuo Mo and Ding Fengchou were among the top seventy in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. If they could not even make it onto the Ranking this time, they would be extremely disappointed.
By sunset, everyone was already talking about sex. Kim Tae-ho raised his teacup and said, "Come, let's replace wine with tea. Let's drink a cup. If we win tomorrow, we will enter the True Dragon Ranking together."
Bai laughed and said, "Even if you go up there, you'll still be a fat dragon, not a true dragon."
Fatso smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not afraid of him getting fat, as long as he's real."
The few of them clinked their cups lightly and drank the tea in one gulp. After Fatso paid the bill, he led the group downstairs.
However, when they reached the staircase, they ran into a group of people that no one wanted to see. The Evil Moon Pavilion's Bai Zhan was leading his disciples down the stairs.
Coincidentally, they bumped into each other at the top of the stairs when they were walking towards each other.
When the Evil Moon Pavilion's people saw Fatso, who was leading the group, they all glared at him. They wished they could skin him alive.
This was especially so for Ling Feng, who had been knocked unconscious by Kim Tae-ho's coffin lid. He placed his hand on his weapon and cursed, "Damn you, Fatso! You are really bold. You can forget about leaving today."
When Xie Ziwen saw Xiao Chen in the group, he also became enraged. When he saw his First Senior Brother, Bai Zhan, he shouted, "You are just a group of trash cultivators from the four nations. What do you know about drinking tea?"
Ignorance of Tea was very strange. Cultivators were not prohibited from fighting. However, if they broke anything, they would have to pay the original price.
These people mocked Xiao Chen and the others. Clearly, they wanted to provoke Xiao Chen and the others into attacking first. In that case, there would be nothing to fear.
Kim Tae-ho smiled and said, "Even trash knows how to speak human. How strange. A sect that could not even block one move from this Fat Lord dares to speak so arrogantly."
"Ka ca!"
When Ling Feng heard this, he could not help but draw most of his sword. However, Bai Zhan, who was in front, knocked it back with a palm strike.
Bai Zhan gave Xiao Chen a deep look and said, "Let's go."
Xie Ziwen and Ling Feng were stunned. They did not know why Bai Zhan let Kim Tae-ho and the others leave when there was such a good opportunity.
How could they know that Bai Zhan had been severely injured by Xiao Chen in the Boundless Sea and had to flee? Without absolute confidence, Bai Zhan naturally would not make a move.
Ding Fengchou and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They said in bewilderment, "That Bai Zhan actually left. This is strange. That fellow's strength is unfathomable. He is one level higher than us."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said indifferently, "Who knows?"
Naturally, one day passed very quickly. Before the sky brightened, the vast arena was already filled with people.
Everyone knew that the truly exciting matches would only begin today. When the newcomer ranking came out, the nine seeded participants appeared one by one.
The Five Nation Youth Competition would welcome one climax after another. Missing one day of the competition would be enough to make one regret it for life.
Of the four hundred participants, half of them were eliminated in the first round, leaving only two hundred.
There were twenty groups. Two groups were randomly grouped together to form ten groups. Each group still had twenty people.
The rules of the previous round were the same. Half of the people would be eliminated. It did not seem like the elimination rate was high. At the very least, there was still a chance.
However, those who passed the first round were the elites of the elites. With the two groups combined and the seeded participants appearing, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be.
Furthermore, only the top one hundred people would be able to enter the True Dragon Ranking compiled by the City Lord's Residence. This was a great opportunity to make a name for oneself.
Several of the participants who had hidden their strength would erupt out in this round, fighting for glory. This would make the already intense battles even more miserable.
"The original group six and group ten will merge and become a new group five."
When Xiao Chen received the notice, he could not help but recall some of the experts in group ten. Group ten seemed to be the group that the genius saber user, Lin Fei, was in.
There were some veteran experts in that group. However, Lin Fei defeated them all, allowing him to advance with a complete victory.
Furthermore, as a result, Lin Fei became a newcomer on the newcomer ranking, second only to Xuanyuan Zhantian.
"The seeded participants are going to choose the new group after the merger. I wonder which group Yue Chenxi will choose?"
"Nangong Ziyue's group will merge with group nine to form group seven. If he dares to accept Nangong Ziyue's challenge, he will probably choose group six."
"Yue Chenxi will definitely choose group seven. I wonder who will choose Xuanyuan Zhantian's group. Sima Lingxuan is not coming out. I really want to see which seeded participant has the guts to do so."
"I believe no one would be so foolish as to fight Xuanyuan Zhantian before the true finals. They would expose their strength too early."
After the twenty groups were merged, it was time for the seeded participants to choose freely. Being able to choose freely was one of the benefits of being a seeded participant.
Yue Chenxi did not disappoint the crowd. He was the first to choose group seven, which Nangong Ziyue was in. The two women looked at each other from a distance. When their strong auras clashed in the air, it seemed like sparks would explode.
Before they officially started fighting, they were already exchanging glances.
The one who chose Xiao Chen's group was the Supreme Yi Sect's Gong Yangyu. Gong Yangyu's strength had always been very stable. Although he was not among the top ten, he was not weak, either.
Gong Yangyu's Everlasting Staff Technique could cause wind and lightning to appear, scattering the clouds and fog. He was a genius-type.
He was not rash, did not take risks, and did not have many unique characteristics. He just followed the path laid out by others, walking down it without stopping.
However, to everyone's surprise, the third seeded participant, Liu Xiaoyun, chose Xuanyuan Zhantian's group.
Liu Xiaoyun's goal was very clear. He wanted to fight against Xuanyuan Zhantian, who dared to challenge Sima Lingxuan.
When Bai Qi saw Liu Xiaoyun's choice, he was somewhat disappointed. He said softly, "He snatched the spot before me."
After the seeded participants left, only the handsome and incomparably strong Sima Lingxuan remained in the spectator stands.
Without needing to fight, Sima Lingxuan automatically entered the True Dragon Ranking. He was the only one in the past two years. Sima Lingxuan had a calm expression, as though everything was as it should be.
A strong self-confidence spread out from Sima Lingxuan, giving others the impression that only he, Sima Lingxuan, was qualified to sit here.
This was Sima Lingxuan, who stood above the masses and stood apart from them. This was Sima Lingxuan.
However, Xiao Chen did not care about these irrelevant things. He muttered, "There are only two true experts in group five: Lin Fei and Gong Yangyu. I wonder how much of my strength they can allow me to bring out?"
"Group five's first match: Lin Fei versus Jian Qiushui."
As time went by, the first match of group five officially began. The newcomer ranking second, Lin Fei, versus the Sun Moon Sword Sect's Jian Qiushui.
Jian Qiushui was a strong participant ranked thirtieth in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. He had fought with Lin Fei before and managed to last ten moves before being defeated.
Naturally, Jian Qiushui could not improve much in one day. Without any surprises, he was defeated by Lin Fei in seven moves.
"Second match: Xiao Chen versus Ma Yuan."
The matches passed very quickly. It was Xiao Chen's turn in the second match. With a gentle push, Xiao Chen floated onto the dueling ring and looked calmly at Ma Yuan.
As a Divine Saber Gate elite disciple, although Ma Yuan had lost to Lin Fei, he was not convinced of his defeat.
He had only lost to Lin Fei's strange Saber Technique. If it were any other newcomer, they would not be a match for him. He, Ma Yuan, was definitely not a stepping stone for newcomers.
Ma Yuan suppressed his anger and wanted to prove his strength. When he saw the ninth-ranked Xiao Chen, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, many thanks for giving me this opportunity to prove myself."
Xiao Chen was speechless. You want to prove yourself? What does that have to do with me? You speak so arrogantly as though the victory is yours before the match even starts.
"The ninth-ranked Xiao Chen versus Ma Yuan. This is going to be interesting."
"Originally, many people thought that there were no experts in group six. Xiao Chen's complete victory record was overstated. I heard that many people were not satisfied with his ranking on the newcomer ranking."
"His match with Ma Yuan will allow us to see his true standards. We can see if he lives up to his reputation as the ninth-ranked newcomer ranking."
Surprisingly, the second match of group five attracted the attention of many people. Clearly, it was because of the newcomer ranking. Now, many eyes were on Xiao Chen.
