A red sun rose, and thousands of golden rays shone on the peak of the outer sect arena.
This was the last day of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven selection.
Countless outer sect disciples had already gathered at the arena area. Even the inner sect disciples had come to watch the show. The Seven Star Cave Heaven was very famous in the whole cultivation world of the Eastern Continent. Even among the inner disciples, more than 90% of them had never been there. It was a very popular place in the Primordial Realm. Countless outer disciples of the Seventh and Eighth Grade Sects coveted it.
Today was the day when the coffin was closed. Today's battle was destined to be the most intense battle among the outer sect disciples this year. The hidden dark horses would inevitably surface one by one.
The original nine arenas had already magically merged into one at this moment, becoming an incomparably huge arena.
…
Whoosh!
Six figures flew quickly in the air.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Hao asked Leng Yihan, who was flying beside him, as he withdrew his aura. Today, when the last day of the competition was about to begin, Chen Hao had just exited his cultivation state. As soon as he came out, Leng Yihan, Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the others were already waiting at the entrance of his palace. He could only rush to the arena area to talk.
"Of course. What, are you going to renege on your promise? "
"A gentleman keeps his word. I, Chen Hao, don't have the habit of going back on my word. But you really came at a bad time … "Chen Hao frowned slightly. He felt strange seeing Leng Yihan this time. It wasn't that Leng Yihan was strange, but there was an indescribable feeling. It was like he was being watched, but he couldn't capture any aura. It was just intuition based on his powerful soul perception.
"It doesn't matter. It's good to see the genius disciples of the Star-Picking Sect. Let's talk about it after your competition. I'm not here to ask you to fulfill your promise. It won't take long. Let's talk about it after your competition … "Leng Yihan said." You've advanced so quickly. It's like building a castle in the air. It's not worth it … What rank are you now? "
Chen Hao withdrew his aura. Even with Leng Yihan's powerful perception, he couldn't determine what rank Chen Hao was at.
"Won't you find out later?" Chen Hao smiled. It was unknown whether he did it intentionally or not, but he turned around and looked at Tantai Lian who was flying behind him. He abruptly released his pure energy and wrapped it around Tantai Lian's hand. His speed suddenly increased several times as he said, "Hurry up. One of us is challenging the other, and the other is being challenged. Time is almost up …"
"Hmm?"
Li Yifeng suddenly felt as if he had discovered a new continent. Yang Fan and Ni Jianping's eyes also suddenly widened. Leng Yihan's expression did not change. He suddenly sped up and chased after them.
…
"Why are you pulling me?"
Tantai Lian, who was smart, asked Chen Hao through telepathy even though she was extremely surprised and her heart was beating faster. Leng Yihan, she was familiar with Yang Fan and the others. Moreover, although Chen Hao did not say it explicitly, he had mentioned Leng Yihan's strangeness in front of them.
"We're in a hurry! There are still two minutes left, can you make it by yourself? "Chen Hao said against his will.
Tantai Lian glared at Chen Hao but did not say anything. It was just holding hands. Compared to the influence of the Phoenix inheritance, it was nothing. Even if Chen Hao explained, so what? Other than a few people who knew him well, who would believe it?
…
"Tantai Lian! Is that Chen Hao? "
"Who else could it be other than Chen Hao? No wonder they are a pair of the Phoenix inheritance … Such a pair is too compatible. "
"Does Chen Hao really have the ability to defeat the Martial God? His aura is not strong … "
When Chen Hao and Tantai Lian landed side by side in the arena area, countless eyes immediately focused on the two.
At this moment, everyone knew Tantai Lian. She was ranked third among the low-level disciples and had defeated countless ninth-grade Martial Grandmasters. As for the first and second place, it was impossible to compare because they had never appeared.
Chen Hao was the talk of the town. However, those who had seen Chen Hao, except for the disciples who had seen Chen Hao fight with Cai Jin and this year's Hundred Empire Ranking, almost no one had seen him. He was elusive.
Glancing at the contestants' seats, Tantai Lian sat directly in the third seat of the low-level disciples' seats. Chen Hao glanced at the contestants' seats and smiled slightly. Under everyone's surprised gaze, he actually sat in the advanced disciple's seat.
"This … could it be a mistake?"
Countless people looked at Chen Hao in surprise and started to discuss.
"Junior Brother Chen Hao, this is the advanced disciple's seat. The intermediate disciple's seat is in the second row!" An advanced disciple sitting beside Chen Hao said enthusiastically to Chen Hao. There was a trace of admiration in his eyes.
Chen Hao smiled at that disciple and nodded. He said, "Senior Brother, thank you for your reminder. I am going to challenge the advanced disciple's seat."
"Crash!"
Chen Hao's indifferent and not loud voice immediately caused a huge uproar. It exploded uncontrollably in the entire arena area.
Martial God!
Without a doubt, Chen Hao, who had returned after a month of experiential learning, had already stepped into the Martial God Realm. Furthermore, he was going to challenge the top ten advanced disciples. Could he be an Inferior Grade Martial God?
At the same time, more than ten disciples sitting in the advanced disciple's seat looked at Chen Hao without exception and frowned. Including the temporary top ten contestants, the ten contestants who were sitting in the challenged seats were also looking at Chen Hao with a hint of hostility.
As for the intermediate disciples, regardless of whether they were in the challenger's seat or the challenged's seat, at the same time they were surprised, they revealed a joyful expression.
What did this mean?
It meant that without Chen Hao, they would have one more spot to compete for.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "At that moment, many figures riding on clouds appeared above the arena and slowly descended to the main platform.
"Greetings Sect Leader, greetings Elders!"
"Greetings Sect Leader, greetings Elders!"
"Crash!"
Instantly, waves of voices exploded one after another. Every disciple in the arena area stood up and bowed with their fists clasped together. Some of the new disciples followed suit and bowed. Chen Hao stood up and bowed, his gaze quietly glancing toward the main platform.
Until now, this was the first time he had seen the Sect Leader. Unexpectedly, the Sect Leader was a handsome middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He had a scholarly appearance and an elegant demeanor.
"There's no need to be so polite." The Sect Leader smiled and waved his hand.
Chen Hao felt an irresistible force gently pour into his body and immediately helped him up. Like all the other disciples, Chen Hao was filled with astonishment. At that moment, there were more than ten thousand people in the arena area. However, with such a casual wave of his hand, he had helped more than ten thousand people up at the same time. What did that mean? What kind of shocking cultivation did that require?
At that moment, on the main platform, the Third Elder of the outer disciples looked at Chen Hao who was sitting in the advanced challenger's seat with a strange expression. He cursed in his heart, "No wonder they hit it off so easily. It turns out that Wu Ziqun has the same idea as me … This Chen Hao has also reached the Martial God Realm … Humph, so what? He is definitely not a match for Wen Dao … "
"Whoosh!"
After the crowd sat down in shock, a ray of light flashed across the sky and gradually descended.
"Senior Brother Ye Wen Dao is here!"
"Crash …"
Regardless of the intermediate disciples, the lower disciples, the advanced disciples, or even the inner disciples, they all looked at the figure that was slowly descending from the sky.
"Ah?"
As Ye Wen Dao's sharp gaze scanned the contestants' seating area and landed on the advanced challenger's seat, a great uproar took place after Chen Hao's incident. Those at the intermediate challenger's seat and the challenged's seat were overjoyed. Two spots, two super geniuses who were destined to occupy two spots had unexpectedly become advanced disciples. How could they not be excited or unhappy? Especially those disciples whose strength was in between advancing and not advancing, they were so excited that they felt like howling.
Meanwhile, those at the advanced challenger's seat and the challenged's seat frowned.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
While the crowd was still immersed in their astonishment, a magnificent chime of the bell could be heard. The time had come!
Wu Ziqun slowly flew onto the arena. As the Outer Sect's Grand Elder, he cleared his throat and said, "Disciples, today is the last day of the Outer Sect's Third Grade Ranking. The Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven's qualification will be determined before sunset today. The Old Man emphasized that although the Seven Stars Chamber is important, no one is allowed to purposely kill the participants! Let's start with the lower disciples! I don't think I need to explain the rules of the challenge, right? "
"There's no need for that, Elder Wu. Let's begin …"
The crowd instantly burst into cheers.
Wu Ziqun smiled and said, "Okay, the challenge officially begins. The lower level disciples who are challenging the disciples on the seating area, you can start in the order of your seats, from left to right, from front to back, and directly point out who you want to challenge!"
Shoosh!
A disciple sitting at the front on the left immediately flew onto the arena and said, "Disciple Jian Nanchun challenges Wu Liangye!"
"Humph, I knew you would challenge me! Your courage is commendable after being defeated by me. Come, let me end your qualification for the Seven Stars Chamber! "
Shoosh!
Wu Liangye let out a cold harrumph and said proudly as he flew onto the arena.
If the challenger won, he would replace the challenged's ranking, and the challenged's ranking would be adjusted accordingly. The disciples who were pushed out of the top ten would become the challenger. However, if the challenger lost the first round, he would be disqualified. Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly the best choice to challenge the tenth ranked disciple. He had the highest chance of winning.
However, Jian Nanchun did not challenge the tenth or ninth ranked disciples. Instead, he directly challenged the sixth ranked disciple, Wu Liangye. This was beyond many people's expectations, and his courage was commendable. However, many people were not surprised. The two of them had fought countless times, and Wu Liangye had won each time by a narrow margin. It was only in the past half a year that Jian Nanchun had not fought, as he had been training outside. It was obvious that he had absolute confidence in winning, which was why he dared to do so.
The battle ended unexpectedly quickly. The arrogant Wu Liangye was actually defeated by Jian Nanchun in just three minutes!
The person who was originally the tenth ranked disciple became the challenger, and sat at the last seat of the challenger's seat. There were a total of fifteen people who dared to challenge the lower ranked disciples. They basically challenged the tenth, ninth, and eighth ranked disciples. Until the end of the challenge, no one challenged Tantai Lian. After successfully confirming the top ten, Tantai Lian did not challenge the top two disciples when it was time for the top ten disciples to challenge. A few disciples who were dissatisfied with their rankings did challenge her. After all, entering the Seven Stars Chamber was the greatest reward. Although there was no difference, the final ranking would affect the benefits of the sect. There were still many people who cared about it. Moreover, the outer sect elders, inner sect elders, and the sect master were all present. Who would not want to show their true strength?
