After the Sect Master of the Yuan School made a brief opening speech, a mysterious aura was emitted from the center of the martial arts field. Ten huge arenas rose from the ground and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There were more than 30,000 disciples. Although the chances of first and second rank sects passing were extremely low, the chances of advanced sects passing were very high. Especially for the eighth and ninth rank sects, the number of eliminated disciples was very small.
In the end, there were more than 6,000 disciples who were officially qualified for the competition.
There was no competition in the Eastern Continent that could compare with such a large number of disciples who were above the Nascent Soul Realm.
…
"The top ten ninth-rank sects will still be leading the competition. You will be divided into ten groups according to your sects. On the rostrum, the first rank sect masters will draw lots!"
An old man with a powerful aura appeared in the sky above the Ten Direction Arena. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent out 12 undetectable lots wrapped in mysterious energy.
Although there were more than 200 first-rank sects, only 12 of them had disciples who were officially qualified for the competition. In this situation, there were two groups with one more first-rank sect. There were more than 100 second-rank sects, and more than 50 of them had disciples who were officially qualified for the competition. Basically, there were no sects above the third rank that were completely annihilated. Therefore, there were a total of nearly 300 sects.
Immediately, the 12 first-rank sect masters sitting on the rostrum sent out their energy and absorbed one of the lots.
Then it was the second rank, third rank, fourth rank … until the last ten ninth-rank sects. They drew lots in order. The remaining sects that could not be evenly divided would be divided according to the order of the first round. Although it was not completely fair, at least the number of sects was equal.
After the drawing of lots, the sects in each group were decided and the number of each group was given. This kind of grouping could not only show the strength of an individual, but also the overall strength of the sects. It was as if the groups were held at the same time.
Soon, the results were out. The old man who acted as the referee immediately announced the groups that each sect belonged to.
…
"Sky Sword Sect … What a coincidence!"
When he learned that the Star-Picking Sect and the Sky Sword Sect were in the sixth group, Chen Hao's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness.
"Humph! Boy, pray you don't meet me too early! " At this moment, Wu Ruochen's eyes emitted a hint of coldness as he looked at Chen Hao and gritted his teeth.
Even though he knew that with Chen Hao's Star Picking Sect in the same group as the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect's results would more or less be affected by Chen Hao, this was what he wanted the most. In the other groups, he wasn't confident that he could stop Chen Hao from advancing. However, in his group, there was definitely a chance for him to encounter Chen Hao. If he was lucky enough to encounter Chen Hao early, he had absolute confidence that he could make Chen Hao lose his battle strength and directly stop him in the group stage!
He wouldn't let anyone from the Star-Picking Sect get away!
The only pity was that it was impossible to kill one's opponent in the Inter-Sect Competition. This was because every single dueling ring was guarded by a pinnacle Primordial Spirit realm advanced stage expert. Once there was a life-threatening situation, they would definitely step in to save the other party. Even though Wu Ruochen could easily bribe the guards with his status, he did not dare to kill anyone. If he did, he would lose the right to continue the competition. Such a severe punishment was aimed at the disciples who held grudges.
…
"Hao Hao, that Wu Ruochen's strength is ranked third or fourth. If he encounters you, he will definitely be heavy-handed. You have to be careful. If you can't, just admit defeat early and don't give him a chance … "
"My goal is to fight with you. How can I be defeated by him? Don't worry … "Hearing Xia Youyou's words, Chen Hao's eyes flashed with pride as he transmitted his voice.
Xia Youyou was slightly taken aback. Then, a smile appeared on her beautiful little face as she transmitted her voice encouragingly. "That's good. Youyou, wait for me. Good luck!"
In fact, Xia Youyou had no idea how strong Chen Hao was. In terms of pure attack power, he was four gems lower than Wu Ruochen. That was a huge gap. However, even though Xia Youyou couldn't figure out how Chen Hao could defeat Wu Ruochen, she was secretly delighted when she heard Chen Hao's arrogant words.
So what if he couldn't beat him? Wu Ruochen couldn't kill Chen Hao, nor did he dare to. And Chen Hao had the Immortal Bloodline. Even if he was seriously injured, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Moreover, the confidence in Chen Hao's eyes made Xia Youyou look forward to it.
…
There were ten groups. The number of first to eighth-grade sects in each group was completely equal unless there was an odd number. The ninth-grade sects each occupied a group.
After the main judges of the Ten-Sided Arena were in place, the disciples of the first and second ranked sects in each group were the first to enter the arena, starting from the one with the worst results.
It wasn't until all the disciples of one side were defeated by the other side that the decisive battle was over. In the even-numbered matches, the strongest of the sects would go up first, and the strongest would go up first.
But no matter what, the sects with more people naturally had the absolute advantage. After all the sects in the group had fought, the group stage was half over. Through the sect-type battles, the individual ranking was evaluated by more than five hundred sect leaders at the same time. The strength of the defeated opponent, the performance in the battle, and so on were all clear. No one could be biased. Once the ranking was out, the top 100 disciples of each group would enter the top 100 individual elimination round.
All the disciples were clear about the specific segments before the competition, including the order of the sects to enter the arena. The first round was from the weak to the strong, and the next round was from the strong to the weak.
There was no such thing as Tian Ji's horse racing. The reason for this was to give all the disciples a chance to perform.
…
In a short moment, the entire Ten Directions Combat Arena fell into a vigorous battle.
"Haohao, the Zhaixing Sect's results this time will definitely be good. The number of sixth-grade sects in the competition is the same as yours. Some of them didn't even have ten … "
"In the first round, if I meet a sixth-grade sect, I won't have a chance to fight." Chen Hao smiled and said confidently. This confidence didn't come from Long Yukong or Ye Feixue, but from Helian Wuzi and Tantai Lian.
This was because in these few days, Helian Wuzi had finally reached the peak of the late nascent soul stage with the help of the spirit spring and a large amount of primordial crystal stones. In addition, Helian Wuzi could only use the power of reincarnation in battle. Chen Hao believed that Helian Wuzi would definitely have an amazing performance. At the very least, a half-step avatar would have to stand aside. Tantai Lian was also valiant and had successfully reached the mid nascent soul stage. How much could a seven-star secret art increase in power?
If Chen Hao wanted to fight, it would only be possible if he met a seventh-grade, eighth-grade, or ninth-grade sect with a large number of people.
"Youyou definitely won't have to fight in the first round. No matter which sect we meet, it's so boring … Luckily you're here," Xia Youyou said.
…
The Zhaixing Sect was the fourth in the sixth group. It was time for them to fight in the second round. Their third opponent was also a third-grade sect, and they only had a pitiful three people. The weakest member of the Zhaixing Sect defeated two, the second defeated the third, and the competition ended.
…
In the second round, under the envious gazes of Leng Yihan and Xia Youyou, Chen Hao, as the strongest member of the Zhaixing Sect, had a chance to fight. His figure flashed and he appeared in the sixth arena. His opponent was the second in the group, a seventh-grade sect.
At this moment, the entire Martial Arts Practice Field turned to look at the sixth ring.
Without a doubt, the Zhaixing Sect and Chen Hao were now the focus of this year's Inter-Sect Competition. Moreover, Chen Hao had the highest test score among the contestants so far.
The Zhaixing Sect had ten people. That seventh-grade sect was one of the stronger ones among the seventh-grade sects. They were even stronger than the Flying Sword Sect, with a total of eighteen people. They were only two people short of the Zhaixing Sect. Moreover, the strongest member of this seventh-grade sect was a half-step avatar, but during the test, he had struck out with an attack power of eighty-nine. This was also not to be underestimated …
…
"Chen Hao, right? Attack power doesn't mean everything. I'll let you understand that the gap between realms, the comprehension of the true essence, and the use of battle techniques are the key to battle power! Your Zhaixing Sect, I alone, will defeat all of you! Hahaha … How can a small third-grade sect let you turn the sky upside down? "
A short, ugly young man with a moustache stared at Chen Hao and said arrogantly the moment he stepped onto the arena. The aura of a half-step avatar surged from his body unscrupulously. His big hand was dragging a huge axe that was three times longer than his height. It must have weighed at least a few thousand kilograms. Shining brightly, it looked quite majestic.
This made Chen Hao feel very amused. Motherf * cker, just this appearance alone made Chen Hao have the impulse to beat him up. How dare he boast so arrogantly?
…
"This Ai Qiongcuo is not simple. He was born with divine strength and has comprehended the true essence of the earth attribute to the peak of the Greater Success stage. His heavy and majestic attack could not be shown during the test. This is a bit interesting. I hope Chen Hao's battle power is as great as the rumors say, otherwise it will not be easy to win … "
"You still don't believe me? Let me tell you, Ai Qiongcuo is no match for Chen Hao. Just wait and see, I can guarantee that Chen Hao will defeat at least the top five experts of their sect! "
Many people in the crowd were discussing. Some people who had not really seen Chen Hao's strength naturally could not help but doubt. After all, the test did not represent battle power at all, especially for real geniuses. But the very few who had seen Chen Hao's invincible power firmly believed in Chen Hao's battle power.
…
"Don't cry later! Eighteen people isn't a lot … "The corners of Chen Hao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a slightly evil and arrogant smile no matter how one looked at it.
"You? Come on! "
Boom!
The moment the referee indicated that they could start, Ai Qiongcuo's two thick and short legs suddenly stomped on the ground. His whole body rose up violently, and the big axe he was dragging became a clenched grip with both hands. A heavy and majestic terrifying aura that could split mountains and fill the sea suddenly swept across the entire arena.
