But if their luck was really that bad, then there was nothing they could do about it. There were 30 people, and if they were matched against each other, then there was nothing they could do.
Soon after, the thirty participants, including Fenghao and Le Huang, all appeared on the Sky Martial Stage. They stood side by side as they waited for the lots to be drawn. This time, Fenghao noticed that the black-robed young man and the white-robed sword-wielding man were also on the stage, just as he had expected.
"Okay, you guys can start drawing lots now. There are a total of 30 jade slips here, and every jade slip has a number on it. In other words, if the number on the jade slip is 1, then his opponent will be the one with the number 1. Do you guys understand?"
At this moment, an elder of the Xuan Dao Valley spoke out. The rules were very simple this time around. They would have to fight against all sorts of opponents, and they would only have one chance. If they lost, they would lose the chance to participate in the Groom Search Competition. Only by winning, would they be able to laugh until the end.
"This rule can only depend on luck." Le Huang shrugged her shoulders and smiled. If they were to be matched against each other at the start, then there was nothing they could do about it.
"Don't worry, if that's the case, we'll take the initiative to give up." Nangong Wuji grinned and said without a care.
"Yes, I understand. I'll have to trouble you guys this time." Feng Hao expressed his gratitude sincerely. Although the relationship between the three of them was obvious, Feng Hao was still grateful to the two of them.
"The lots will be drawn now. You guys can draw according to the order."
At this moment, the elder from the Xuan Dao Valley said indifferently.
A brief moment later, Huangfu Jinglei was the first to draw. He drew a jade slip with the number 7, which meant that his opponent would also be the one with the number 7.
Thirty people, one after another, proceeded to draw lots. When it was Fenghao's turn, Fenghao fumbled around for a while, then took out the jade slip that he had touched. The number was 5.
Le Huang was number 9, and Nangong Wuji was number 11.
This time, it was clear that the goddess of luck favored the three of them. They didn't encounter each other in the first round.
One was number 5, one was number 9, and one was number 11. Even if they had to wait for the next round, there would only be 15 people left. At that time, it wouldn't matter even if they encountered one of them.
"Now, number 1 can come out and compete. You only have one chance. The winner can rest for a while and wait for the next round, while the loser will lose his chance."
At this moment, the elder from the Xuan Dao Valley said, "During the competition, it is strictly forbidden to take other people's lives."
Evidently, this marriage contest had caused quite a stir. Even the Xuan Dao Valley did not dare to allow these people to do as they pleased. If someone were to die, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Xuan Dao Valley.
The rule of not taking other people's lives was something that Feng Hao and the others didn't take to heart. After all, when experts at their level fought, it was either death or life. If they were afraid, they could just admit defeat.
Evidently, admitting defeat in front of so many people required a lot of courage. No one would admit defeat until the very last moment.
Two experts with number 1 suddenly stood out from the crowd. What surprised Feng Hao was that number 1 was the white-robed swordsman, and his opponent was an empty-handed cultivator that he had never met before.
At this moment, the Spouse Search Competition had already begun. Empress Le, Zhu Fenghao and the rest were watching from the side. To them, anyone could be an opponent that they would encounter in the future. Therefore, it would be beneficial for them to gain some understanding.
"Let the competition begin."
Following the Xuan Dao Valley's elder's order, the two of them suddenly unleashed their powerful auras that spread out and covered the entire Sky Martial Stage. It must be said that no one would hide their strength in this situation.
His only goal was to defeat the opponent in front of him.
"As expected of a Divine Master." Fenghao also spoke in an indifferent manner. His gaze shot towards the white robed male. At this moment, his sword had already been unsheathed. A sharp sword glow accompanied the cold glint that sparkled on the body of the sword, causing people to feel a sense of dread.
"Divine Master, his Sword Dao is a little strange." Le Huang said thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, she raised her head and said, "He might be able to easily win.
"That should be the case. Although his opponent is also a Divine Master, he's a Lesser Divine Master. Moreover, from the looks of it, he doesn't seem to have cultivated any weapons. I'm afraid that his opponent will be at a disadvantage." Feng Hao nodded his head. There was no suspense in this battle.
The white-robed young man, who was also the expert named Blood Sword, should be able to easily win the first round of the competition if nothing unexpected happened.
At this moment, on the other side of the Sky Martial Stage, Tong Tian and the other Elders of the Xuan Dao Valley were also paying attention to the start of the competition. The white-robed young man's Sword Intent made them pale with fright.
"This young man is not bad." Tong Tian smiled with his eyes narrowed. For him to say that he's not bad meant that he had some weight.
"Those who are able to enter the Qualifying Competition are all disciples of some old monsters. That Xue Jian should be the disciple of Blood Evil Sovereign. I'm afraid that only that old bastard who only knows how to kill can use that kind of Sword Intent." Behind Tong Tian, one of the people slowly opened his mouth and said.
"Who cares who he is. At this moment, what the Xuan Dao Valley needs is this kind of person as a cornerstone. This martial contest is also held for this reason. Apart from a few of these 30 people, talk to them later and see if they're willing to join the Xuan Dao Valley." Tong Tian paused for a moment before he said indifferently.
Who Huangfu Wushuang's partner was actually not that important in Tong Tian's heart. What he cared about was the benefits that Huangfu Wushuang's marriage would bring to the Xuan Dao Valley. Previously, there was a marriage alliance with the High Firmament Peak, but because of Feng Hao's appearance, it was canceled. Tong Tian thought of this method to make up for the loss.
