Su Yun, Wang Zhong Shan and the rest left their respective caves, and headed towards the gigantic statue in the center of the valley.
The Mountain River List Selection Competition had already begun, and now, all the participants would draw lots to pick their opponents, and after winning one round, the rank on the order badge would be promoted, from Worm to Snake, then Snake to Wolf, Eagle, Elephant, Lion, and finally to the Dragon Rank. After obtaining the rank of 'Dragon', they would have the qualifications to participate in the Mountain River List Seeded Competition. There were a total of 100 people, but only 20 of them could be listed, the remaining 80 would be eliminated, and would not be listed in the Mountain River List.
But even so, to be able to obtain the rank of 'Dragon', they had the qualifications to be hailed as exceptional geniuses, since the Mountain River List was open to the entire continent.
How many people were there in the continent? Compared to the 100 people, it was a terrifying ratio.
Around the statue, there were many jade colored stages, arranged neatly like chess pieces, and around every stage, there were four Qin Creek Protectors and a judge. In front of the statue, there were rows of white robed cultivators, in their hands were square glowing crystals, the crystals were overflowing with a warm luster, it was extremely peaceful. The spirit cultivators who entered the region only needed to place their hands on the glowing crystals, and the crystals would imprint a mark on the spirit cultivator's body, and after the mark was formed, it would transmit the information of the designated stage to the owner, and the owner could only rely on the mark to enter the designated competition grounds, and could not step into any other competition grounds. Removing the mark without permission would result in disqualification, and this would greatly prevent the person from changing the mark and changing the opponent.
Wang Zhong Shan and the rest walked over, and pressed on the crystal in the spirit cultivator's hand, causing the crystal to immediately release a white light, and quickly moved from his hand to his arm, and then into his hand, forming a faint rune imprint.
In that moment, a number appeared in Su Yun's mind.
42!
"I am 37!"
"I am 103."
"I am 8."
… …
Wang Zhong Shan, Hong Yan and the rest all reported their own stage numbers.
"Fortunately, we didn't bump into each other. However, with so many participants, the chances of them bumping into each other are too small. There's nothing to worry about." Wang Zhong Shan let out a sigh of relief and said in a serious tone, "But everyone, since we're here, we must give it our all. Do not slack off. Many of the participants here aren't as strong as we think they are, but you must pay attention to a group of people like me, who have been given the qualifications to participate. Of course, I'm not saying that my strength is high, but that those who have been given the qualifications by the officials are not ordinary people. In short, everyone, do your best. Don't lose the first round!"
"Alright!"
Everyone cheered, full of confidence.
"Huh? How confident. I don't know where you get the confidence to say such words. "
Just then, an ear piercing laughter came out from the side, Su Yun and the rest turned to look, only to see Bei Xuan Ming and the rest walking over.
"You bastards!!"
Li Qing was furious, but he was stopped by Wang Zhong Shan.
"There's no need to bicker with them. We'll see who's the real deal later!" Wang Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"That's true. If they don't rely on sneak attacks, what do we have to fear?" Li Qing snorted.
"Hehe, arrogant. But don't worry, I'll make you shut your mouths obediently later. I think I heard that one of you is number 37? What a coincidence, I'm also number 37. Later, let me see how powerful you are. "
Bei Xuan Ming waved his fan and laughed as he led his people away.
Shen Hao who was in the group roared: "I am number 37, Bei Xuan Ming. Later, I will let you know how powerful I am!!"
"I'll wait." Bei Xuan Ming's voice came out unhurriedly.
Shen Hao and the rest were furious.
"Alright, alright! Everyone get ready. In another incense stick of time, we'll be going up! "Wang Zhong Shan retracted his thoughts and shouted.
Everyone went to the side to rest.
"Hey hey, quickly look, are those people from the Immortal Sword Sect?"
Suddenly, a slight commotion erupted out from the group of people.
Immortal Sword Sect?
Su Yun was startled, he turned to look, only to see a group of men and women dressed in luxurious blademaster clothings, all of them had golden dragon and phoenix imprints on their blademaster clothings, all of them were handsome men and beautiful women, looking noble and confident.
What was even more eye-catching were the two ladies walking at the front of the group, one big and one small. The small pretty girl had bright eyes and white teeth, elegant and refined. Her skin was as white as snow, her figure was exquisite, especially her eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky. But compared to her, the great beauty beside her attracted the gazes of all the male cultivators. The great beauty was tall and slender, curvaceous in all the right places. Her long hair was like a waterfall that flowed down her back. In her hand was a white sword, her face was covered with a veil, revealing only her eyes. But even so, she gave off a breathtaking feeling. Although they could not see her face, but that kind of ethereal and holy temperament, had already conquered the hearts of all the men. She was like a fairy.
"The people from the Immortal Sword Sect truly have extraordinary temperaments."
"That's right! It truly is a place where outstanding people live, are they all participants? "
"Who is that female cultivator? Is she also here to participate? "
"That seems to be Clan Elder Long?"
"Clan Elder Long? Clan Elder Long Xian Li? Tsk tsk tsk, I have long heard of Clan Elder Long Xian Li's beauty that could cause the downfall of cities and countries. Seeing her today, it truly is true. "
….
The surrounding spirit cultivators were all discussing amongst themselves.
Seeing that, Wang Zhong Shan and the rest were startled for a moment, then turned to look at Su Yun, only to see Su Yun quietly looking at them. Finally, his gaze landed on Long Xian Li, he sighed and closed his eyes.
Long Xian Li who was walking had dim eyes. She just walked mechanically, her gaze casually sweeping around. Suddenly, her eyes landed on a figure in the crowd.
"That mask?"
Long Xian Li was startled, her gaze was startled as she looked at the lady who was standing with Fu Su.
Clang!
Just then, another deep and resounding bell sound resonated out.
"The competition is about to begin. All participants, please head to your own stage and take your place!"
Just then, a deep and resounding voice came out. Everyone turned to look, only to see that the person who spoke was the spirit cultivators who were dragging the crystals. They stood in a row in front of the stage.
All of the Spirit Cultivators quivered and rushed towards their own stage.
The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
One by one, the figures entered the stage.
Su Yun did not delay. For the sake of obtaining the Through Heavens Mirror, he was ready to risk it all. With a flip, he went up to the 42nd stage.
After a moment, a sturdy man also jumped up to the 42nd stage.
This sturdy man had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. His skin was dark. Su Yun was already close to 2m tall, but his height was actually close to 3m. Adding his broad physique, he looked extremely scary. He held onto two large hammers and gasped for breath, his bull eyes staring straight at Su Yun.
"You!! If you admit defeat now, you can suffer less. If you don't, then don't blame me for being ruthless! Although it is a competition, if I accidentally kill someone, then no one can blame me for my sins. Do you understand? "
The sturdy man pointed at Su Yun and said arrogantly.
Killing intent rippled out.
However, Su Yun did not care about him. Instead, he turned to the judge beside him and asked: "May I ask, can we begin?"
The judge raised his head and looked at the sky. Just then, with a 'chirp' sound, a pink light beam shot into the sky and exploded, causing a large number of talismans to fly into the sky.
Seeing that, the judge immediately waved his hand: "42nd stage, participant Wu Yun against participant Huang Tai Shan. Now, let the competition officially begin!!"
Clang!
A clear and crisp sound resonated in the small stage.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Su Yun being so rude, the sturdy man was enraged, why would he care about anything? He immediately raised his two gigantic hammers and smashed them down towards Su Yun's head.
The hammers were like tigers and tigers, the wind coiling around them, it was extremely powerful.
But just as it was about to land on Su Yun's head, a 'pa da' sound was heard, the hammers suddenly stopped.
"Huh?"
The sturdy man felt that his two hammers were stuck to something, they could no longer go down, and he could not lift them back up.
Weird.
The sturdy man turned his head to look, and was immediately dumbstruck.
Su Yun actually extended his hands out and caught the two huge hammers that were falling down.
"Despicable brat!" When the sturdy man regained his senses, he became even angrier. Both of his legs stepped on the ground, his Spirit Essences opened wide, surging True Divine Spirit Qi flowed out like a river, crazily surging towards the twin hammers.
His power suddenly increased by a few times, but …
The hammers were still unable to move.
Su Yun looked at the two hammers in front of him, his eyes flickering.
"He is just a second stage Spirit Soul Realm cultivator, in terms of strength, he naturally cannot win against me, but if I were to suppress him now, I am afraid that it would attract the attention of others, and it would not be beneficial for the later battles."
Thinking about that, Su Yun pretended to be unable to hold on, and let the hammers sway a few times.
The sturdy man's eyes constricted, he felt that it was an opportunity, and roared out, releasing the hammers, he leapt forward, and his two fists, one on the left and one on the right, flew towards Su Yun's head.
Boom!
A loud sound came out.
But, the sturdy man struck empty air, the person in front of him had suddenly disappeared. His heart tensed up, he immediately retreated to look, but before he could even turn around, a leg suddenly kicked his butt.
Sou.
The sturdy man flew out, falling onto the stage and rolling a few rounds, he was already in a daze, and could no longer fight.
Just as he was about to crawl up, Su Yun picked up his two sledgehammers and stood in front of him. The sledgehammers were pressed against his head. As long as Su Yun used strength, his head would explode like a watermelon.
The victor was clear!
"I lost."
The sturdy man bit his lower lip, and said unwillingly.
Clang clang.
Su Yun threw the hammers in his hands onto the ground, and turned to walk down the stage.
"Stage 42, participant Wu Yun's victory, participant Wu Yun has been promoted to the 'Snake Group'."
The judge's voice came out.
….
At the same time, the surrounding stages around the gigantic statue would occasionally let out the miserable screams of participants and the judge's loud announcement. In the first round, there were people who fought extremely intensely, but there were also people who fought extremely easily. But without question, the first 'Worm' to 'Snake' competition would eliminate half of the hot-blooded young men and women with dreams.
