The reason was simple. In the competition, the seeded contestants were not really not participating in the competition. Instead, they were "marked" to tell everyone what the seeded contestant was in their group, so that people would think twice before making a move. This was because the seeded contestants could not take the initiative to attack others. Unless someone deliberately provoked them, they would not even have a chance to fight.
Among the seeded contestants, the lower-ranked contestants could challenge the higher-ranked contestants. For example, the No. 10 seeded contestant could challenge the No. 1 Chen Hao.
This meant that Chen Hao, who was the No. 1 seeded contestant in the group, would not take the initiative to attack anyone.
In such a situation, what was there to be afraid of?
"What a troublesome rule …"
Chen Hao shrugged and glanced at the cultivators around him with a smile. He did not seem to care.
However, he was used to keeping a low profile. Before entering the second floor, he had restrained his aura to the state he had been in three days ago. Because of this, these cultivators felt that Chen Hao's aura was not very strong.
At this time, a few disciples from the University of Cathay appeared beside Chen Hao. There were a total of 1,000 groups. There were tens of thousands of disciples from the University of Cathay who had signed up for the individual ranking competition. It was normal for them to be assigned to Chen Hao's group.
When Chen Hao scanned the surroundings, most of the cultivators who had gathered in groups of three to five avoided his gaze. After all, even if Chen Hao couldn't enter the top thousand in the end, he was still not someone they could compete with. Discussions were discussions, but there was no need to provoke him, nor did they dare to.
However, a young man who was surrounded by several male and female cultivators looked directly at Chen Hao. He snorted and said with disdain and provocation, "Do you really think you are the No. 1?"
There was a big "2" between the young man's eyebrows. He was the No. 2 seeded contestant in the group.
"2? Xiao Manyun?"
When Chen Hao saw the number "2", he was stunned. He seemed to be quite surprised, but he tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh out loud. He said the name of the other person.
Chen Hao had already seen this name on the pagoda stele at the entrance of Zhulu Peak. Xiao Manyun, a disciple of the Celestial River King's Xiao Clan, was ranked behind him. When he saw this name, Chen Hao concluded that he should be a direct descendant of the Xiao Clan like Xiao Mantian. As for whether he was Xiao Mantian's brother or cousin, it was not something that Chen Hao could guess.
"That's right," Xiao Manyun said proudly.
"You and Xiao ManTian are brothers, right?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
However, what Chen Hao did not expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Manyun's face turned red. His eyes were about to spit fire, and his veins were popping out.
* Crash … *
Many of the surrounding cultivators also exclaimed in shock as they looked at the fatty. It was as if Chen Hao had revealed some earth-shattering secret that shocked everyone.
"Alright … Alright … Let's see who's more qualified to be number one later! Don't worry, if I, Xiao Manyun, don't challenge you, humph! "
"Cough cough … I say, brother, Xiao ManTian and I are as close as blood brothers, can you give me some face? It doesn't matter if you are number one or not, it's just an empty title. To you and me, it's an extremely simple matter. I hope that we can get along well and just watch the show. Xiao ManTian and I are brothers, good brothers, even closer than blood brothers! What do you think? "
"Shut up! If you have the guts, fight to the death with me later, I will kill you! No one dares to mention him in front of me! No one! "Xiao Manyun almost roared.
"Uh … Did I say something wrong?"
Chen Hao seemed to be surprised. In actual fact, when he mentioned Xiao ManTian, from Xiao Manyun's attitude and the reactions of the surrounding people, he could feel that Xiao ManTian and Xiao ManTian had a deep grudge, but he pretended not to know. Of course, Chen Hao really didn't know what grudge Xiao ManTian and Xiao ManTian had.
"Brother Fatty, be careful, Xiao ManTian is very strong. You shouldn't have angered him, don't tell me you don't know that Xiao ManTian and Xiao ManTian are rivals? " At this moment, a student from the University of Da Hua who was in Chen Hao's group suddenly transmitted his voice to Chen Hao.
"Oh? What grudge? I really didn't know … "Chen Hao said.
"Xiao ManTian's Dao Companion Feng Hanwei originally belonged to Xiao ManTian, but Xiao ManTian stole her away. The hatred of stealing his wife, that could be said to be the most humiliating thing for Xiao ManTian, but that was ten thousand years ago. Back then, the two of them had a public duel in the Divine Realm …"
"No wonder! But it doesn't matter, I have nothing to do anyway … "
Chen Hao smiled and transmitted his voice to Xiao ManTian.
Then, he looked towards Xiao ManTian and cupped his fists awkwardly, "That, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that Xiao ManTian stole your Dao Companion. As the saying goes, one shouldn't steal a friend's wife, much less a brother's wife? He actually bullied, rode, and took her for himself! That's too much, I'm not looking for trouble, but if I were you, I would definitely fight him to the death! That's such a big cuckold, it's too much! Uh … How can I say that to my friend? Sorry, sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything … "
Pu!
"F * ck … This Li Yuan is really ruthless …"
"This Li Yuan doesn't seem to be afraid of Xiao ManTian."
"This is going to be interesting."
"That's right, and no matter who is more powerful, they will have to give up a spot. The last ten seeded contestants will have a battle royale, that's even better, our chances of qualifying will be higher. Haha! "
In the vast space, Xiao ManTian's battle intent and killing intent rose crazily, and he couldn't wait to kill Chen Hao immediately.
But at this moment, before the competition started, no one was allowed to make a move.
Otherwise, they would be kicked out and lose the right to participate in the competition.
…
"Group 954, let's go, let's go to Fatty's group and take a look!"
"What's there to look at? Fatty is the first seeded contestant in the group, I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke him, they won't even have a chance to make a move! "
"Not necessarily, the second seeded contestant is Xiao ManTian, a direct descendant of the Xiao Family, the Xing River King!"
"So what? It's just a battle royale. Although the disciples of the Xiao Family are arrogant, they won't go as far as to provoke Fatty, right? "
"That's true. The preliminary round is indeed boring, so let's just look around casually. There are many beauties and exciting places, that's where we will go! Let's go, let's split up, and remember to inform us of the interesting places! "
"Okay!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! After Chen Hao and the others stepped into the second level, the cultivators of the University of Dahua were teleported to the first level of the observation space with their tokens. They only needed to activate their tokens and enter the number of the group, and they would be teleported to the area near the barrier of the corresponding group.
