After introducing the major sects, Zhao Qing cupped his hands and left the stage. Then, another West Sea Sect elder took the stage. This elder was in charge of hosting the opening ceremony of the Sect Meet.
It was mainly a song and dance performance. The participants were almost all West Sea Sect disciples. There were also some famous singers on Intermediate God Island who came to perform.
"Is this the sect assembly?" Huang Liang muttered in a disappointed voice.
Miao Yiniang said softly, "It's normal to have some song and dance performances when the meet starts."
If one was patient, one could feel that the West Sea Sect had put in a lot of effort. Be it the songs or the dance, they were all wonderful.
Those who came to participate in the Sect Meet were not in a hurry to do anything. All of them were enjoying the show.
The song and dance performance lasted for about four hours before it finally ended.
The hosting elder went on the stage again. After a few polite words, he announced that the feast was about to begin. Tomorrow would be the Newcomer King Challenge, the most eye-catching event of the Sect Meet. The finals would be held here.
At the same time, the market for the Sect Meet would be opened on this square. Everyone could take out their unwanted collections and exchange them for treasures that they liked.
Although the Sect Meet was a matter between the high and mighty sects, gold could still be used as currency here. However, any elixir could cost more than a hundred taels of gold. This was something that ordinary people in the secular world could not afford.
Along with the Newcomer King Challenge, there were also elixir refinement and weapon refinement competitions. Similarly, a ranking would be determined.
The judges were naturally the upper echelons of the four major sects and Longevity Heaven.
Shen Xingxue decided to participate in the elixir refinement competition. She wanted to test her strength.
Miao Yiniang and Huang Liang were preparing to participate in the Newcomer King Challenge with Chu Mo. With their strength, it would not be a problem for them to enter the final round.
The main purpose was to make Ethereal Palace famous and attract talented people to join. At the same time, they wanted to fight for a spot to enter the Bottomless Chasm.
Sects like Longevity Heaven had a fixed quota, let alone the disciples of the four major sects. But for those from Ethereal Palace and those sects below it, if they wanted to enter the Bottomless Chasm, they would have to fight for it with their own strength.
Not everyone was qualified to be cannon fodder.
At the banquet that night, there was no trouble. The younger generation of each family was strictly restrained by their elders. If he wanted to challenge or fight, he could settle it on the stage tomorrow. A banquet should have the atmosphere of a banquet.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the whole night was very harmonious. Even Hua Xiaoya didn't run over to Chu Mo's side.
On the second day, Shen Xingxue temporarily separated from Chu Mo and the others and went to the pill refining area to register.
Chu Mo brought Miao Yiniang and Huang Mang to the Rookie King Challenge to register.
"Three people from the Misty Palace," Chu Mo said concisely.
The person in charge of registration also took a few more glances at this legendary young talent. Apart from feeling that Chu Mo was too handsome, he didn't find anything special about Chu Mo.
There were a total of more than three thousand people participating in the Rookie King Challenge.
It sounded like a lot, but in fact, it was spread across four continents and a midgod island. This number wasn't much.
Of course, the number of people who came was far more than this number. Mainly, those who had the confidence to register were at least at the Golden Stone Realm, Level Six. If they didn't reach that realm, it would be embarrassing to go up.
Chu Mo's number was 156, which was quite close to the front.
Miao Yiniang's number was 1327. Even if there were enough arenas, she would have to wait until the next day to be her turn.
Huang Mang drew number 666, which sounded very auspicious. It should be her turn today.
The West Sea Sect had prepared a total of twenty arenas for the Rookie King Challenge.
Each arena was two hundred feet in circumference. This area wasn't big for high-level martial artists, but it wasn't small either. It was considered big for the arenas.
There were no seats around the arenas. It was just for spectators. The distance between each arena was about five hundred feet.
It wasn't far or close, so they could see each other.
However, the disciples standing in the arenas were all focused on their opponents. Not many people had the time to observe others.
Only people like Zhou Jun, who had clearly obtained the right to enter the Sinkhole, would wander around leisurely.
Actually, he wasn't wandering around. Zhou Jun wanted to see what kind of ability King Chu had. Only then would he be able to make the four major sects pay attention to him.
It wasn't that he was unconvinced. As the saying went, a wise man submits to circumstances. Zhou Jun was actually quite sensible. It was just that deep in his heart, he was still somewhat indignant and doubtful. He still couldn't believe that Chu Mo, who was so much younger than him, was really that powerful.
It wasn't difficult for him to find out Chu Mo's number. He had already informed him in advance.
Zhou Jun already knew when Chu Mo just finished drawing his number. Hence, accompanied by a few of his fellow disciples, Zhou Jun secretly came to arena number 13.
In a while, Chu Mo would be fighting with a disciple of another sect on this arena.
Chu Mo didn't notice Zhou Jun. After he arrived below arena number 13, he began to watch the two people fighting above.
The ones fighting were two young men.
Coincidentally, one of the two people was someone Chu Mo knew.
It was Dongfang Bai from the Azure Dragon Continent's Blazing Flame Sect!
Back then, Dongfang Bai had given Chu Mo a primordial stone. At that time, to Chu Mo, who had never seen a primordial stone, the value of a primordial stone was absolutely immeasurable.
After that, Chu Mo hadn't heard any news of Dongfang Bai. He was really surprised to see him today.
At this moment, Dongfang Bai's strength had already reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Stone realm.
At his age, reaching this realm was considered not bad.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Bai's opponent was a seventh level of the Clear Mind realm martial artist.
After more than a dozen rounds on the stage, the difference in strength was obvious. Although Dongfang Bai tried his best to reverse his decline, under the suppression of the realm, he had no chance to resist at all and was about to be defeated.
Chu Mo clearly saw a self-deprecating expression on Dongfang Bai's face. His expression was somewhat sad. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Back then, when he first met him in the grasslands, how high-spirited was he? He even dared to look down on the Longevity Heaven.
It could only be said that there were too many experts in this world. There would always be someone stronger than you!
After Dongfang Bai endured a few more moves, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. Just as he was about to admit defeat, the cold-looking opponent suddenly made a killing move and stabbed his sword towards Dongfang Bai's throat!
The hundreds of onlookers were stunned on the spot and couldn't help but cry out in alarm. Some of the women even couldn't help but close their eyes, not wanting to see the scene of blood splattering three feet.
The arena official was also scared silly and couldn't stop it at all!
The corner of Dongfang Bai's opponent's mouth rose, revealing a sinister smile.
