A few days later, the competition officially began. There were roughly a thousand disciples participating in the competition.
According to the rules of the competition, the participants were divided into 50 groups, with 20 people in each group.
Only three people from each group could enter the top 150.
Since it was divided according to strength, there was no need to worry about which group had too many experts and which group had too few experts.
Lin Long and another disciple from the Stone Courtyard were in one of the groups.
On this day, almost everyone from the Demon Sect's main altar came to the training field on the Demonic Peak, which could accommodate 70,000 people.
There were dozens of similarly sized training platforms built on the training field, allowing so many groups to compete at the same time.
"Junior Brother Lin, you can do it!" Su Fei cheered Lin Long on.
"Don't worry. With Junior Brother Lin's strength, it's still possible for him to fight his way out of the group." Lin Long couldn't help but smile.
"Junior Brother, you're pretty strong, but don't be careless," Su Fei hurriedly said when she saw Lin Long's reaction.
She was afraid that Lin Long would be too arrogant and look down on others, causing him to fail miserably.
Since Su Fei had entered the Demon Sect's main altar two years ago, she wasn't qualified to participate in this competition.
"In the next round, it's Elder Shi's disciple Lin Li and Elder Yin's disciple Wan Shan's turn. Please prepare yourselves."
When the third round was coming to an end, the voice of the elder, who was the referee, rang out in the ring.
Su Fei was a little surprised when she heard this. "He's actually Elder Yin's disciple!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Long couldn't help but ask when he saw Su Fei's surprise.
Su Fei immediately said solemnly, "Junior Brother Lin, you have to be careful. Elder Yin is Senior Brother Cao Cheng's master."
After Cao Cheng mysteriously disappeared, Elder Yin had personally come to the Stone Courtyard to ask about it. He had his suspicions about Lin Long, but he had no evidence and could only leave the matter unsettled.
Lin Long naturally knew about this, but he didn't take it to heart. Therefore, he didn't even remember the elder's surname.
If Su Fei hadn't said this, he wouldn't have known that Elder Yin was Cao Cheng's master.
"Elder Yin has always suspected that Senior Brother Cao Cheng's disappearance has something to do with you, so his disciples might be ruthless when fighting against you," Su Fei added.
"Thank you for your reminder, senior sister." Lin Long immediately nodded.
Very quickly, the duel on the stage ended. After the two contestants came down from the stage, Lin Long walked towards the stage.
By the time he reached the stage, his opponent, Wan Shan, was already in front of him.
"Lin Li, my Senior Brother Cao Cheng's disappearance is related to you. Since there is no evidence to prove this, I can only let you get away scot-free. However, it doesn't matter. I, Wanshan, will make use of this opportunity to let you know the consequences of doing something wrong!" Wanshan said coldly as he stared at Lin Long.
As soon as he heard this, Linlong knew that Wan Shan's master, Elder Yin, had instructed him to do so. Otherwise, with Wan Shan's meager strength, he wouldn't have dared to offend the Stone Courtyard in public.
Given Linlong's powerful Spiritual Force, he was naturally able to see through the other party's strength at a glance.
"I express my apologies for Senior Brother Cao Cheng's disappearance. However, I won't be happy if you put the blame on me," Linlong said indifferently.
Naturally, he wouldn't be foolish enough to admit that Cao Cheng's disappearance had something to do with him.
"That's not important. In short, just remember how ruthless I am in the future …" Wan Shan sneered.
After saying that, Wan Shan activated his demonic technique.
His strength was not bad among the new disciples. He had reached the level of a rank seven Martial Lord. That was also the reason why he dared to speak such arrogant words.
"Blackbone Palm!"
Then, Wan Shan threw a palm attack at Linlong. Not only did he use the Blackbone Palm, there was also a faint black flame burning on the demonic aura he shot out.
Clearly, he knew that Linlong was not weak, so he didn't dare to be careless.
After all, Linlong had defeated a genius like Min De in the previous Tournament.
Linlong's expression did not change when he saw the incoming palm attack. He immediately countered it with an attack.
He used the black and blue flames, and not only that, he also used the Demonic Blade.
In an instant, the demonic aura transformed into a demonic blade. Then, with the black and blue flames and a strange black light, it met Lin Shan's attack.
"Bang!"
After the collision, an explosion sounded, and Wan Shan was sent flying by Linlong. He crashed onto the ground outside the martial stage.
Before Wan Shan could regain his senses, he was already injured. His injuries weren't serious, but he had already fallen to the ground outside the Martial Arts Arena.
In other words, he had already lost.
"It can't be, right? How is Lin Li so powerful?"
"It's true that he defeated Min De back then, but Wan Shan isn't weak either. How could he win in a single move?"
"That's right. His cultivation is about the same as Wan Shan's. To win in a single move is too unbelievable."
In an instant, the majority of the people below the stage who were paying attention to the fight started discussing in shock.
Some of the more experienced people began to explain. "It must be because of the Sky Demon Blade. It's not without reason that the Myriad Demon Pavilion's Formation Spirit deemed the Sky Demon Blade to be the most powerful demonic technique back then."
Their words immediately reminded the crowd of the Myriad Demon Pavilion's demonic technique, and they started discussing again.
"Looks like the Sky Demon Blade really can't be underestimated."
"After all, it was deemed the most powerful demonic technique back then by the Formation Spirit!"
Wan Shan fell to the ground with an extremely ugly expression on his face. He silently walked back to his seat.
At this moment, in a corner behind him, an old man with white hair and beard also had an ugly expression. He was Wan Shan's master, Elder Yin.
"I thought that Wan Shan would be able to teach him a lesson. I didn't expect his Sky Demon Blade to be so powerful," a disciple beside Elder Yin said.
Elder Yin's frown deepened when he heard the disciple's words.
Cao Cheng was the disciple he was most proud of. He had poured a lot of effort into Cao Cheng, but he didn't expect him to mysteriously disappear.
Under such circumstances, he naturally suspected Lin Long, who had a conflict with Cao Cheng because of Yu Wenpeng. However, he didn't have any evidence to prove this.
Now that he had such an opportunity in this competition, he naturally hoped that his disciple would be able to teach Lin Long a lesson. He didn't expect things to turn out contrary to his wishes.
No, I have to think of a way. Elder Yin thought to himself as he looked at the indifferent Lin Long on the stage.
With that thought, he immediately got busy.
