"That goes without saying. Chen Hao has already reached the Martial Saint Realm. If he were to participate in the arena challenge, he would have to do it in the intermediate arena. Although he has the Phoenix's inheritance and is said to be very powerful, he is only a rank one Martial Saint. He would not be able to do well in the intermediate arena … Such super geniuses are usually very conceited and would not allow themselves to be defeated. How could he do something he is not confident in? "
"That's true. If it were me, I would not do it either … "
In the Star-Picking Sect, on a towering mountain peak between the ten peaks of the outer court disciples, many outer court disciples were gathered in the huge martial arts practice field on the peak, watching the nine arenas in the center.
The nine arenas were divided into six low level arenas, two middle level arenas, and one high level arenas. They were also the arenas where the outer court disciples of the three ranks interacted with one another.
The so-called interacted with one another meant that one was not allowed to deliberately kill or harm one another. However, it did not mean that one could not fight to their heart's content. Because every arena was guarded by experts of the sect. Once an uncontrollable accident occurred, they would intervene.
At this moment, most of the disciples, including the middle and high level disciples, were gathered around a low level arena, discussing it.
It was because of Tantai Lian.
…
She was ranked ninth on the Hundred Dynasties Ranking, had the Phoenix's inheritance, and was an eighth rank Yi Zong. With these three identities, any one of them would attract attention in the third rank sect, the Star-Picking Sect. Moreover, Tantai Lian's stunning appearance had undoubtedly created a great beauty effect.
Ten days ago, Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the others had started to challenge the arenas to train themselves. However, only Tantai Lian could dominate the arenas.
She had not tasted defeat for ten consecutive days and had already obtained the qualifications to be the arena master of the low level arena. On the ranking list of the low level disciples at the edge of the arena, Tantai Lian had already risen to the top one hundred. This ranking was based on the ranking of the strongest opponent she had defeated.
What Tantai Lian wanted to do was to enter the top ten and shut everyone's mouth.
This was because she had also obtained the sect master's reward to enter the first level of the Seven Stars Paradise. At this moment, there were less than two months before the opening. Although she would definitely be able to enter, according to Dongfang Ting's intention, even if she obtained special permission, she would still occupy a spot. Therefore, it would be best if she could enter legitimately. Moreover, Tantai Lian also possessed this strength. Eighth grade Yi Zong, in addition to the powerful battle strength of the Phoenix Inheritance, among the low level disciples, there was still a high chance of entering the top ten. Even if he couldn't make it into the top ten, he would still be able to get some points if his ranking was close.
…
Whoosh!
Just as Tantai Lian was fighting with a low-level disciple, a stream of light streaked across the sky and appeared above the arena mountain.
He immediately locked onto Tantai Lian, who was in the midst of a great battle. Immediately after, his powerful senses spread out and quickly found the auras of Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, and Ni Jianping.
This figure was none other than Chen Hao.
To Chen Hao's surprise, Yang Fan and the other two were all wounded. They were seated cross-legged in the outer area of the arena, cultivating themselves.
"What's wrong with you three?"
After quietly appearing in front of the three, Chen Hao asked aloud.
"Ah?"
Yang Fan and the others immediately opened their eyes in surprise, "You're out?"
"Yes." Chen Hao looked at the injuries on the three of them and replied with doubt.
"Haha … Following your wishes, the three of us are slightly weaker. Thus, we've been defeated repeatedly and have continued to challenge. After all, there are no restrictions in this arena. If you lose, you can't go up. Furthermore, there are six low-level arenas. We can take turns … "Li Yifeng said.
"Not bad. Your ranking has risen to within the top three thousand. Seven thousand low-level disciples. That's considered above average … "Hearing their words, Chen Hao looked at the low-level disciples ranking in the distance and said. He wasn't surprised to see that Tantai Lian had risen to the ninety-seventh rank. The highest cultivation level of a low-level disciple was a ninth rank Martial Ancestor. Furthermore, there weren't many of them. There shouldn't be many who could threaten Tantai Lian.
"Chen Hao, you're going to start too?" Li Yifeng asked. Yang Fan and Ni Jianping also looked at Chen Hao with doubt.
"Of course! We naturally have to make use of such good cultivation conditions. Don't just fight blindly. Every time you fight, you have to comprehend something … "
"Understood." The three of them said. Originally, they wanted to say something. However, when they thought of how abnormal Chen Hao was, they didn't say anything. So what if he was a first rank Martial Saint? In the middle-level arenas, the three of them felt that although Chen Hao would definitely meet a strong opponent and lose, no one would be able to stop his rapid improvement!
"Xiaolian's battle is over. Tell her to wait for me. I'll go play first!" Chen Hao glanced at Tantai Lian who had firmly gained the upper hand. He directly turned into a stream of light and flew to an intermediate ring in the distance where the winner had just been decided.
… …
"Who else wants to fight?"
The victorious disciple exuded a strong aura as he faced the crowd below the arena and asked.
"Come down, Senior Chai Yi. If you're not a disciple in the top one hundred, no one can defeat you. You should wait until the end of the month to challenge again. This time, Senior Chai Yi will definitely enter the top one hundred …" Below the arena, a disciple shouted at the young disciple on the arena.
"Haha … of course. Last month, I almost succeeded. This month, I'll definitely succeed! Is there really no one else? "Chai Yi's face revealed a smug smile. There was a hint of loneliness of an expert. Although he knew that this was only the beginning of the month and no real experts had come. Being able to perform in front of so many fellow disciples was a rather mighty thing. Within the sect, how did one make a name for themselves? It was by relying on strength and the arena!
"I'll go!"
Just as Chai Yi was about to jump off the arena, a voice suddenly sounded. Chen Hao's figure was like a gust of wind as he floated onto the arena.
"Hm?" Chai Yi looked at the unfamiliar youth in front of him and slightly frowned.
"Who is this?"
Below the arena, many disciples also revealed astonished expressions. Those who dared to challenge Chai Yi were basically all middle-level disciples who were rank seven or eight Martial Saints. More or less, they should have some fame among the middle-level disciples. However, none of them had ever seen such a handsome young man before. Furthermore, looking at his age, he was clearly a few years younger. At most, he looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Junior Brother, forgive me for being blind. How should I address you? My name is Chai Yi, rank eight Martial Saint. I'm ranked one hundred and seventh among the middle-level disciples. " Chai Yi faintly thought of something but did not dare to be sure. He slightly cupped his fist and revealed a smile on his face as he asked.
"Senior Chai, it's normal that you don't recognize me. My name is Chen Hao, a new disciple. "Chen Hao cupped his fist and said.
"Chen Hao? So it's you … haha … "Chai Yi immediately laughed and said.
"Chen Hao? He's Chen Hao? "
"Wah … awesome. Isn't he a rank one Martial Saint? He hasn't appeared for more than a month and he dares to challenge Senior Chai Yi … "
"He's indeed very handsome …"
The crowd immediately burst into a buzz of discussion. Everyone looked at Chen Hao with burning gazes. The sudden commotion caused the disciples in the nearby arenas to hear it. Immediately …
Chaos.
In an instant, countless disciples in the entire Martial Arts Practice Field swarmed toward the arena that Chen Hao was in. Although Chen Hao had not appeared for more than a month, it did not affect his fame in the Star-Picking Sect. During this period of time, not to mention Tantai Lian, even without her, Chen Hao would have become the person that everyone wanted to meet. For a rank three sect like the Star-Picking Sect to be able to recruit the second place of the Hundred Empire Ranking and draw with the champion, it was definitely a sensational matter.
"Quick, quick. Chen Hao is going on stage …"
After hearing the news, some of the disciples from the Hundred Empire Ranking in the low-level disciples' area called out to familiar people and quickly ran over.
As they were all from the Hundred Empire Ranking, they naturally felt a sense of closeness in the sects of the cultivation world. After all, the majority of the disciples in the sects were natives of the cultivation world. In the eyes of these natives, there was no doubt that they were inferior. Therefore, the more dazzling Chen Hao was, the more face they felt for the disciples of the Hundred Empire Ranking.
Who said that we, disciples from low-level empires, were inferior to you natives?
…
"Quick, go and inform Senior Brother Cai Jin that Chen Hao has appeared …"
"Go and inform Senior Brother Nalan that Chen Hao has appeared …"
Just as the crowd swarmed towards the arena where Chen Hao was located, a few figures flashed and disappeared. These figures were the disciples that were ordered to wait for Chen Hao's appearance. The people they were going to inform were those ranked close to the top ten. They had long since received news that the sect master's reward for Chen Hao was the first or second floor of the Seven Stars Paradise. Moreover, the exact news was that as long as Chen Hao could rank in the top twenty of the middle-level disciples, he would be able to obtain a spot to enter the second floor.
This was something that concerned their own interests. How could they not care?
…
"Junior Brother Chen Hao, it's not bad that I, Chai Yi, obtained your maiden battle … I know that your battle prowess is very strong. However, I heard that you're only a rank one Martial Saint. So … be careful. I, your Senior Brother, will not hold back on the arena! Of course, I will try my best to not injure you … "Chai Yi said with a slight smile. There was not a trace of disdain or ridicule in his eyes.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Chen Hao said with a slight smile. Yao Yao made a gesture of invitation.
Just at this moment, the middle-aged expert in charge of supervising the arena also stood up. His expression revealed a trace of expectation and seriousness as he looked at Chen Hao who was about to start the battle.
In this period of time, all the experts in charge of supervising the middle-level arenas had received Elder Wu's reminder. Once Chen Hao appeared, they must ensure his safety. After all, although there were experts overseeing the arenas, there would still be accidents sometimes. Especially when there were participants that suddenly erupted with their strength, they would be caught unprepared. By the time they reacted, they would have already lost their lives.
And Chen Hao dared to challenge Chai Yi, a rank eight Martial Saint. It was truly too shocking. It even made this expert feel that Chen Hao's confidence had reached the level of being arrogant and blinded …
The majority of the crowd held this thought.
The only ones that were filled with anticipation were Yang Fan and the other disciples that came out of the Hundred Empire Ranking. It was because they were the only ones that had seen Chen Hao's abnormal battle prowess. Especially those powerful absolute skills that came out one after another. They firmly believed that the rank one Martial Saint Chen Hao would have a shocking performance. Furthermore, he had only become a rank one Martial Saint over a month ago. Who knew if such an existence with such abnormal talent had improved again?
