Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The simple thatched huts in the Xuanming Garden opened, and figures walked out. They were the 108 prodigies from the Dark Underworld Territory.
During these three days, everyone was either exchanging their experiences or adjusting their energy. They had all reached their peak condition. The divine light in their eyes was restrained, and when they looked around, a bright light would occasionally shoot out. It was as if it could pierce through the sky.
The group of people walked out of the simple and crude Xuanming Garden in an imposing manner and headed in the direction of the Mountain Flow Prefecture.
The gathering point for the Prefecture Competition was in the Mountain Flow Mansion.
The prodigies from the Dark Underworld Territory had no idea what the Prefecture Competition was about.
However, since he was already here, there was nothing to be afraid of no matter what kind of competition it was.
When the 108 prodigies from the Dark Underworld Territory arrived at the Mountain Flow Mansion, most of the participating prodigies from the Mountain Flow Mansion had also arrived.
The number of participating prodigies from the Mountain Flow Mansion was even more than the Dark Underworld Territory. There were close to 200 of them, which shocked everyone.
At the same time, the prodigies from the Mountain Flow Mansion swept their gazes across the crowd. Their eyes shone brightly, and traces of domineering aura surged forth, as though they were trying to see through everyone.
For a moment, everyone felt an indescribable pressure assaulting them.
They felt that the prodigies from the Mountain Flow Mansion were looking at them with ill intentions, and even hatred.
Hatred!
Originally, the Prefecture Competition was for the prodigies from the Mountain Flow Mansion. Now that people from other territories were going to participate, some of their spots would be taken away. Of course, they would be unhappy. Those who were narrow-minded would hate and even want to kill.
However, the prodigies from the Dark Underworld Ranking were not afraid. They looked at each other, and their eyes shone brightly.
If they were at a disadvantage now, they would not be able to defeat them in the subsequent duels.
Regardless of their opponent's strength.
Regardless of the outcome of the duels.
Right now, at this moment, they could not lose in terms of momentum.
"That's Xu Mubai."
"Which Xu Mubai?"
"It's the Xuanming Young Master Xu Mubai who fought against Zhao Xingkong a few months ago and won."
"So, it's him."
Instantly, all eyes were focused on Xu Mubai's face.
Xu Mubai's expression did not change. He was not affected at all.
"Zhao Xingkong!" Chen Zong and the others remembered this name.
It turned out that Xu Mubai had really come here to train a few months ago. Perhaps that was when the Mysterious Underworld Small World had opened.
No wonder Xu Mubai did not enter the Dark Nether Small World.
As for Zhao Xingkong, who was defeated by him, he was still mentioned, which meant that Zhao Xingkong's strength was not to be underestimated.
"Zhao Xingkong is here." A voice sounded. Everyone looked over and saw a slender figure striding over.
This person was dressed in a light golden robe. There were countless patterns on the robe that looked like burning flames. Every step he took seemed to be strolling in the void. His figure was straight and his expression was cold. His eyes were as bright and cold as the stars.
Aura!
Wisps of faintly discernible aura continued to spread out from the other party's body, as if they were radiating in all directions. They were densely packed and spread out like an invisible net.
The net spread out in all directions, covering a radius of a few hundred meters. It seemed to have enveloped everyone. There was an invisible pressure that went straight to the heart.
However, those who were not sensitive enough would not be able to sense this invisible net. They would only feel an indescribable pressure when facing Zhao Xingkong.
Chen Zong's gaze was grave.
Zhao Xingkong's strength was probably very terrifying. Otherwise, it would not be like this.
There was a voice in Chen Zong's heart telling him that Zhao Xingkong's strength was enough to suppress his current self.
If Zhao Xingkong's strength was strong enough to suppress his current self, then wouldn't Zhao Xingkong, who had defeated Xu Mubai, be even stronger?
Zhao Xingkong strode over. His cold eyes flashed and landed on Xu Mubai's face. An extremely sharp cold light shot out from his eyes. It was as if two rays of starlight pierced through the sky and were about to pierce through Xu Mubai.
The dark light in Xu Mubai's eyes became more obvious and intense. It seemed like it was going to devour something. A shocking chill spread out and spread out in all directions.
Their gazes collided in the void. It was formless and colorless, but there seemed to be a shocking will that spread out like a storm. It made one's heart tremble.
"Xu Mubai, I let you win by a fluke last time. This time …" Zhao Xingkong's voice was cold. His tone was extremely sharp.
"A loser has nothing to say." Xu Mubai's expression was neither fast nor slow. It was as if he was stating a fact.
There was only one sentence between the two of them, but it was enough to let others know a lot of information.
Zhao Xingkong had been defeated the last time they fought, but Xu Mubai had probably not won easily.
This time, Zhao Xingkong wanted to avenge himself and turn the tables. However, Xu Mubai was very confident in himself.
As for who would win, who would lose, who would be stronger, and who would be weaker, that would depend on each person's ability and ability.
Invisible auras collided continuously between the Mountain Flow Mansion's prodigies and the Mystic Nether Territory's prodigies. Suddenly, an extremely hot aura spread out rapidly from afar. It was accompanied by an extremely loud cry. Half of the sky was illuminated by a red light as if it was on fire.
An astonishingly hot aura also rushed toward them.
A figure rapidly approached in the fiery light that filled half of the sky.
"The Fierce Phoenix King is here." The Mountain Flow Mansion's prodigies seemed to be very excited and full of anticipation.
The Mystic Nether Territory's prodigies all turned their heads to look. Their expressions were solemn and even more curious.
The aura was very hot, very strong, and very shocking. Moreover, it was not the aura of a Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator, but the aura of a Half-Saint. However, it was extremely shocking that a Half-Saint's aura could be so powerful.
Xu Mubai's expression was solemn. Traces of battle intent gathered in the depths of his eyes.
The Fierce Phoenix King!
Immediately after, a fiery-red figure appeared in front of everyone. The figure paused, and the blazing red light that filled half of the sky surged from behind and converged into the figure's body.
It was a graceful figure wearing fiery-red armor. The armor had a pattern of a Fierce Phoenix spreading its wings and flying high. It was so lifelike that it seemed as if it could really soar into the sky and soar into the sky.
The figure was tall and graceful. It was filled with a fiery charm and charm. It was very seductive, and it seemed as if it could attract everyone's attention.
However, the other party's appearance was relatively ordinary. Compared to the fiery and seductive figure, it was a pity. Otherwise, if she had a beautiful face that could match her figure, she would be able to bring disaster to the country and its people.
The other party's figure was indeed very graceful and seductive. Women would be jealous, and men would be tempted. This was something that no one could avoid unless they were heartless.
However, some people had enough self-control. They would not be tempted and would not be unable to extricate themselves from the temptation.
Chen Zong was amazed by the other party's figure. He was even more surprised by the aura that emanated from the other party's body.
It was a very frightening aura. That heat seemed to be able to burn everything in the world to ashes.
The Fierce Phoenix King!
Without a doubt, this was a King-Ranked prodigy. Of course, Zhao Xingkong was also a King-Ranked prodigy. However, even among King-Ranked martial artists, there were different grades.
Chen Zong guessed that the Fierce Phoenix King was not a low-grade King-Ranked martial artist. He was at least a mid-grade or even a high-grade King-Ranked prodigy.
The moment the Fierce Phoenix King arrived, he immediately became the center of attention. All the Mountain Flow Prefecture prodigies' eyes landed on him. Some were burning with passion, some were filled with admiration, and some were filled with greed. It was as if they wanted to peel off that fiery-red armor of his.
Although his looks were relatively ordinary compared to his figure, he was still considered a high-grade beauty. Coupled with his charming figure, he naturally became a goddess in many people's hearts.
The moment the Fierce Phoenix King arrived, the entire place seemed to have heated up. The atmosphere changed. Almost everyone's attention was attracted to him. Xu Mubai and Zhao Xingkong were ignored.
The Fierce Phoenix King was the top prodigy of the Mountain Flow Prefecture. Zhao Xingkong was ranked second.
The Fierce Phoenix King had a faint smile on his face. He was like a proud phoenix, standing out from a flock of chickens.
With the arrival of the Fierce Phoenix King, all the prodigies of the Mountain Flow Prefecture had arrived. There were a total of two hundred people, which was almost a hundred more than the Mystic Underworld Territory.
Powerful auras surged. One by one, figures flew down from the sky. They were the formidable martial artists of the Mountain Flow Prefecture. All of them were at the late-stage Saint Rudiment Realm. They were very terrifying.
Looking down from above, their terrifying auras surged. Their sharp eyes swept across the crowd as if they wanted to see through everyone.
"The Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly is about to begin. Now, it is the first round of the Prefecture Tournament. Only by obtaining a slot can you enter the Prefecture Tournament. Only then can you stand out and truly enter the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly." In the sky, a Mountain Flow Prefecture martial artist's deep voice rang in everyone's ears. "Without further ado, I announce that the Mountain Flow Prefecture Tournament of the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly Qualifiers will now begin."
Everyone was secretly excited. However, they did not make a sound. Instead, they listened carefully.
This was because the contents and rules of the Prefecture Tournament were to be announced.
"There are a total of three hundred and eight people participating in the Mountain Flow Prefecture Tournament. There will be thirty slots for advancement."
Everyone was shocked when they heard that there would be thirty slots.
Three hundred and eight people, but only thirty slots for advancement. This meant that two hundred and seventy-eight people would be eliminated. They would not be able to enter the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly. How cruel was that?
One should know that these three hundred and eight people were not ordinary cultivators. Every one of them was a genius of the Heaven Grade. Even the weakest of them was a genius of the General Grade. Many of them were geniuses of the Marquis Grade, and some were geniuses of the Monarch Grade. There were also quite a few geniuses of the King Grade.
They were all geniuses, but two hundred and seventy-eight of them would be eliminated. The competition would be extremely fierce.
Then, what would the Prefecture Tournament be about?
Would the three hundred and eight people fight one round after another?
Or would it be something else?
Chen Zong also felt a lot of pressure.
After all, his current strength had not reached the peak of the Sage-to-be Grade. Among the three hundred and eight people, there were not just one or two people who were stronger than him. It was not as simple as ten people. There might be twenty or even more.
Therefore, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to obtain a slot. It would be very stressful.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong did not feel afraid. On the contrary, he was filled with fighting spirit.
Since he had started cultivating, he had gone through many difficulties. He had also gone through many battles with other geniuses. However, he had never been discouraged, stopped, and was never afraid.
