"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
Chen Hao's consciousness entered the treasured sword and sensed the runes within it. With a light flick of his wrist, nine crescent moon-shaped sword rays poured out.
"Condense!"
Chen Hao lightly shouted. Under the mental control of the Subtle realm, the runes within the treasured sword were immediately activated. The nine crescent moons miraculously condensed together, forming a full moon. The entire training room was dyed with a layer of cold moonlight.
"Moonlight Sword. Under the moonlight, it has countless transformations. It can be soft or hard and has boundless power … It's very suitable for Xiao Wu … I wonder which unlucky bastard left it behind. The runes within the sword are indeed profound … I'll use it to participate in the New Talent Competition … I'll have avenged that unlucky bastard. I believe that no one would be so thick-skinned as to ask for it back from me … "
Chen Hao stared at the seemingly real full moon before him. He knew in his heart that as long as he willed it, this gentle and cold moonlight would become the most berserk attack. It was likely that even this training room would not be able to withstand it.
With a light smile on his face, the treasured sword let out a 'weng' sound. Once again, the moonlight and the treasured sword disappeared. As for Chen Hao, he was immersed in a subtle state of meditation.
After three months of bitter training, only Chen Hao himself knew what level his battle strength had reached. Rank seven Martial Emperor. Although it seemed that he had only increased by two ranks, Chen Hao believed that if he were to encounter the original rank eight Martial Emperor, Yin Fenghan, again, he would be able to easily kill him without using the Mysterious Yellow Ring.
Because …
Chen Hao did not use the might of fused energy at all in his later training. He only used Origin Power, pure Origin Power!
… …
The next day, early morning.
The sky was clear, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles. A fiery red sun slowly rose from the east. The Imperial Palace, which symbolized the highest power and authority of the Xuanwu Empire, emitted thousands of rays of light under the sun. A mysterious and dense aura enveloped the palace.
The majestic and melodious sound of the bell came from the depths of the palace. The magnificent gate of the Imperial Palace, which was thirty meters tall and thirty meters wide, slowly opened under the push of two rows of mighty guards.
The numerous big shots who had been waiting outside for a long time all showed traces of nervousness on their faces. They didn't scramble to be the first to enter the imperial palace. Instead, they followed the order and entered the imperial palace.
The Rookie Ranking Competition would be held at the highest level of the Empire's Imperial Palace.
Facing one powerful aura after another, Chen Hao's expression was extremely calm on the surface. Only his eyes occasionally flashed with a bright light, allowing others to understand that this extraordinarily handsome youth's mood was also surging. He had strong expectations for the upcoming clash between geniuses …
From the discussions of the crowd, Chen Hao could occasionally hear his name being mentioned. Furthermore, he could feel waves of probing energy fluctuations. Evidently, in the Rookie Competition's preliminaries, he, who had fought against Yin Fenghan with the cultivation of a rank five Martial Emperor and alarmed the number one expert Mu Qing to appear, was one of the most eye-catching existences among the many genius disciples.
… …
"Little brother Chen Hao, do your best …"
When Chen Hao, Dongfang Jun and Dongfang Jian followed Zhao Xingyu and the others into the Imperial Palace's gate, close to a hundred old men stood on both sides to welcome them. One of the old men took the initiative to greet Chen Hao with a smile when he passed by him.
"Thank you, Senior Mu," Chen Hao said with a light smile. At the same time, he clasped his fist and greeted the other old men who nodded and smiled at him.
These old men were none other than the old men who had asked Chen Hao to carve. The people who came to welcome them were obviously all big shots of the empire.
… …
Contrary to Chen Hao's expectations, the spectator stands in the Martial Practice Field were not large. There were only three viewing stands. On the other side, there was a high and mighty platform. The three viewing stands could only hold about ten thousand people. However, it was luxurious and grand. In front of the seats, there were long tables that ran through the entire row.
At the very front were the contestants from the various kingdoms and provinces.
In the middle was the stage. The stage was different from ordinary stages. Instead, it was circular and had a diameter of three thousand feet.
What surprised Chen Hao was that with a cursory glance, he was able to tell that the stage was a special kind of stage. The material was actually suffused with a metallic luster. The surface of the stage was also covered with golden runes.
"This is the highest standard arena in the Empire. There are restrictions condensed by super experts. When you start the competition, the restrictions will be activated, causing the entire arena to be shrouded in a layer of enchantment. The space restrictions inside will also cause the arena to become thousands of feet wide and hundreds of feet tall. Unless it is a battle between Martial Saints, the stage will not be damaged in the slightest. At the same time, the scene of your battle will be magnified several times by the Spirit Formation, allowing the audience to see it clearly. "
Huang Qi slowly explained after seeing the shocked expressions of Chen Hao and the others.
…
In less than a quarter of an hour, with the influx of people, the entire stage of the Martial Arts Practice Field was filled. Among them, there were thousands of young men and women dressed in the same uniform. They sat in the last few rows of the stage. These disciples were from the Empire's New Show Hall.
The others were like the experts brought by Zhao Xingyu. They were the top figures of the various kingdoms.
When everyone had just arrived, dozens of majestic and terrifying auras suddenly came from the entrance of the Martial Arts Practice Field. Dongfang Ting and Mu Qing were among them. However, with Dongfang Ting's status and cultivation, she was only at the edge. There were also a few young experts with powerful auras. Each of them had a condescending and arrogant expression on their faces. Their expressions and auras made even the middle-aged Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire who was walking in the middle appear clumsy.
It was obvious that these people were from another level. However, they were in a different camp from Dongfang Ting.
The noisy crowd instantly quietened down. Their gazes were filled with reverence as they stared at the dozens of figures that slowly floated into the air towards the rostrum. In particular, those handsome young men and beautiful women who were about to participate in the competition, as well as the disciples of the Xuanwu Empire's New Show Hall, were excited.
These people were their targets!
…
After the main figures were seated, the first expert of the Xuanwu Empire, the Imperial Guardian, and the Hall Master of the Empire's New Show Hall, Mu Qing, walked to the front of the rostrum with a solemn expression. After sweeping his gaze across the Martial Arts Practice Field, he slowly said, "In this Rookie Ranking Competition, according to the usual practice, our Xuanwu Empire has invited true geniuses from our empire. Each of them stood out from the Rookie Ranking Competition and stepped into the Hundred Empire Ranking Competition. They displayed their amazing talents and became the favored children of the Hundred Empire Ranking Competition selected by the super sects. This is the pride of our Xuanwu Empire! It is also the foundation of our Xuanwu Empire's everlasting prosperity! Now, please allow me to introduce the pride of our Xuanwu Empire to you! The first is Xuan Xuan, who walked out of the Empire's New Show Hall eighteen years ago, Daoist Xuan! She is currently an inner disciple of the sixth-grade sect, the Imperial Sword Faction. In a few years, she will be promoted to a core disciple! "
Huala …
Following Mu Qing's words, a young and beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament, who was sitting close to the Emperor of the Empire, stood up and cupped her fists towards the Martial Arts Practice Field. Her expression was indifferent and aloof. It was as though in her eyes, everyone present was like an ant. No one could enter her eyes.
But the more she was like this, the more everyone felt that she was lofty.
The Martial Arts Practice Field erupted into an uproar and crazy cheers. Especially the disciples of the Empire's New Show Hall, they were extraordinarily excited. Xuan Xuan was a mythical existence in their New Show Hall.
"A core disciple of the Imperial Sword Faction? That's really powerful … "Huang Qi muttered. After he finished speaking, he looked towards Chen Hao and the other two and said," It's time for you to know about the existence of another level. The disciples on the rostrum are the same as Daoist Dongfang Ting. They all come from another level, an existence that surpasses the Empire. In the entire Boundless Continent, there are tens of thousands of sects. Just like our kingdoms and empires, there are also different levels. They are divided into nine ranks. Rank one is the lowest and rank nine is the highest. A sixth-grade sect is already a rather powerful existence. For this Xuan Xuan to be able to become an inner disciple of the sixth-grade sect, the Imperial Sword Faction, and have the hope of being promoted to a core disciple, she is already a genius among geniuses … "
"Even more powerful than my aunt?" Dongfang Jian asked in surprise.
"There's always someone better than you. When you can advance to that level, your horizons will naturally widen … The path of cultivation is endless … "
…
Chen Hao, on the other hand, was extremely calm. Because he had already learned about the existence of a higher level from Xia Youyou. Whether Huang Qi knew or not, he wasn't sure. However, charging out of the Rookie Ranking, advancing to the Hundred Empire Ranking, and stepping into a sect that surpassed the Empire was not his end …
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao's eyes shone with a sharp glint!
It seemed like a simple introduction, but it contained a subtle contrast of power. Among the 33 super existences, 10 of them came from the Xuanwu Empire's New Show Hall. The lowest sect was a fourth-grade sect. As for the other 23, including Dongfang Ting, they were all third-grade, second-grade, and even first-grade sects. Dongfang Ting belonged to the third-grade sect, Zhai Xing Sect, and was the only one in the Zhenyuan Kingdom. The Great Qian Kingdom had two, the Star Luo Kingdom had two, and most of the other kingdoms had one, while some kingdoms had none.
…
"For this year's Rookie Ranking Competition, they will form the members of the arbitration group. The Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire will be the head of the arbitration group, and I will be the deputy head. You may begin … "After Mu Qing finished speaking, she looked at the old man who had been waiting at the edge of the arena.
The old man respectfully cupped his fists and bowed. His figure flashed, and he arrived at the edge of the arena near the spectator stands. He said in a low voice, "There are a total of 133 disciples who have qualified for this year's Rookie Ranking Competition. 13 of them have entered the Cloud Mountain Range to train and have yet to return. The remaining 120 are exactly the same! I'm sure all of you are clear about the rules of the competition, so I won't repeat them here! The five seeded contestants have been determined through the arbitration group and the preliminaries of the Rookie Ranking Competition. The first is the Empire's New Show Hall's chief disciple, Ni Jianping, a second-grade Martial Ancestor. The second is the Azure Dragon Hall's chief disciple, Li Yifeng, a first-grade Martial Ancestor. The third is the White Tiger Hall's chief disciple, Yang Fan, a first-grade Martial Ancestor … "
