After that, Chen Xiaobei and Wu Shanhe went to the venue of the martial arts competition.
The venue was the Elder's Court in the Eastern Perimeter.
Chen Xiaobei was very familiar with this place.
Chen Xiaobei had come here after exiting the Sacred Ancestor Ancient Battlefield. He even hid in the dark and toured the Elder's Court with Wu Shanhe.
Of course, Chen had purposely put on an old and wrinkled human skin mask to reduce the possibility of people noticing him.
This was a martial arts competition after all. No one would pay attention to an old man.
Many people had already gathered at the venue.
The huge arena was set up in the square of the Elder's Court.
On the side of the arena were two tall platforms.
On one of the platforms sat Wu Jiuhua's father and his family members.
Wu Jiuhua's father had another identity. He was the dean of this Elder's Court.
Therefore, this place was almost half of Wu Jiuhua's home court. Even his father and family members were very excited and in high spirits.
On the other platform sat Wu Zhixiang's grandfather and father, as well as many core members of the family.
Wu Zhixiang's grandfather and father were both elders of the Eastern Perimeter Elder's Court. In terms of cultivation, they were on par with Wu Jiuhua's father. Their status was similar as well, but they were slightly weaker in terms of power.
Therefore, in summary, these two families could be said to be evenly matched, with neither gaining the upper hand.
In this way, whichever of Wu Jiuhua or Wu Zhixiang won the duel would attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Wusheng Clan. They would either be promoted or rewarded. Either way, there would definitely be benefits.
In fact, this was the real reason why these two families wanted to participate in the martial arts competition.
Don't forget, this was only the outer perimeter of the Elder's Court. In the middle and core areas, there were two more high-level martial arts competitions.
With Wu Zhixiang and Wu Jiuhua's strength, there was no way they could win the later opponents.
That was why the possibility of them winning the beauty was zero.
Their martial arts competition was just to let the higher-ups of the Elder see who was the number one prodigy of the Eastern Perimeter!
As long as they could prove themselves and get noticed by the higher-ups of the Elder's Court, they would have a bright future ahead of them.
Their families would also get a huge boost in power.
It was also for this reason that the two great families attached great importance to this martial arts competition. The important figures of the families were all gathered together. Both sides competed with each other, and the atmosphere was tense.
It made people feel that Wu Zhixiang and Wu Jiuhua had yet to fight, but the two families had already started fighting.
In stark contrast to these two great clans, Wu Shanhe's side did not have a Glorious Stage. In fact, not even a single one of his family members had come.
"Why didn't anyone come to your house?" Chen asked softly.
"Sigh …"
Wu Shanhe sighed.
He said bitterly, "After my father died, my mother was the only one left in the family! My mother is timid, and she is afraid that I will offend the two great families, so she has always opposed me participating in the martial arts competition! Naturally, she did not dare to come! Not to mention the other relatives, they are afraid of getting into trouble, so they can't even invite them! "
Hearing that, Chen felt a little helpless.
However, he could completely understand Wu Shanhe's family's mentality.
After all, Wu Shanhe had neither strength nor background. Bracing himself to compete in martial arts was no different from courting death.
He was afraid that Wu Shanhe would anger the two young masters, Wu Jiuhua and Wu Zhixiang. That would bring him a lot of trouble.
"Master, don't worry! If they don't come, I will have nothing to worry about!"
Wu Shanhe's eyes focused, and he was filled with fighting spirit.
That sharp gaze of his seemed to have gathered all the grievances, hatred, and unfairness that he had endured in the past, and was waiting to explode today.
"Okay … Let's go according to plan then!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded and passed the remaining Great Red Holy Heavenly Talisman to Wu Shanhe.
"Yes!"
Wu Shanhe kept the talisman and was ready to fight.
"Everyone!"
At that moment, Wu Jiuhua's father, Wu Dongliang, stood up and said, "Now, I announce that the martial arts competition has officially begun! There are only three people participating in this martial arts competition! One of them is too weak! It's best if he gives up now! "
Upon hearing that, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"It's Wu Shanhe, right? This kid has overestimated himself! How dare he sign up for this martial arts competition with his trash cultivation?! "
"I remember that Wu Shanhe is a one-star Divine Ancestor! I'm a two-star Divine Ancestor, and I didn't even dare to sign up! I really don't know where he got his courage from! "
"That's right! The martial arts competition this time was for real! There's no stopping here! If he doesn't have enough strength, he might even lose his life! This Wu Shanhe must be tired of living! "
"The dean is so kind! He even gave Wu Shanhe a chance to give up! Otherwise, the first move of the first round will cause Wu Shanhe to die without a burial! "
"Wu Shanhe, just give up! Don't waste everyone's time! No one wants to see you die! "
"Give up … Give up … Give up …"
All of a sudden, the crowd of spectators started to clamor and clamor, putting pressure on Wu Shanhe in unison, forcing him to forfeit his right to do so!
"I will not give up! I will fight however I want! "
Under the pressure of the crowd, Wu Shanhe took a step forward. His blood was boiling, and he looked like he was ready to die.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Wu Dongliang rolled his eyes at Wu Shanhe and said indifferently, "Since Wu Shanhe is not willing to give up, I will now announce the rules of the competition!"
"First of all, the three of you will draw lots to decide who will fight in the first round! The winner and the remaining person will fight in the second round to decide the final winner! "
"There are two ways to decide the winner. One is for someone to admit defeat, and the other is for one of them to be killed! Apart from these two situations, no one has the right to stop the competition! "
"Finally, during the competition, no one is allowed to use any external force that exceeds the level of a three-star Divine Ancestor!"
Obviously, this martial arts competition was an opportunity for the Yuan Sage Clan to recruit strong reinforcements even though it was ostensibly a marriage contest.
Therefore, apart from testing one's personal strength, the use of external force was also allowed!
This was because external strength showed a person's foundation, and it was also an important indicator of strength!
For the Yuan Sage Clan, the ideal situation was to find a powerful person with a strong foundation to become their son-in-law and work hard for the Yuan Sage Clan!
"If the participants have no objections, please come up to the stage and draw lots!"
Wu Dongliang took out a tray. On the tray were three pieces of paper with their backs facing up.
Then, Wu Jiuhua, Wu Zhixiang, and Wu Shanhe went up to the stage and each drew a piece of paper.
After flipping the paper over, the order of the matches could be determined.
