The castle of the Rising Dragon Platform was in an uproar.
There were countless figures on the surrounding castles, and all of them looked down at the figures below.
The Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was a place for spectators. The huge cylindrical area in the middle was isolated by an invisible light screen of matrixes, which could block attacks and prevent people from escaping without fighting.
It was a closed battlefield.
There was only one gap, which was at the very top, where the crimson dragon was guarding.
The so-called Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was where everyone was trapped in the Rising Dragon Platform to fight. Only the most exceptional few were able to get out through the gap guarded by the crimson dragon.
This was known as the Rising Dragon, or the Sleeping Dragon rising to the sky.
In the battlefield of the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, if one did not display sufficient powers, one would have been forced to stay down there and fight. If one wanted to escape by rising, the crimson dragon at the demon saint level would have struck and smacked one down.
Even in the history of the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, there had been cases where only one person was left standing, and that person wanted to leave, but was still slapped down by the demon saint.
This meant that no one was qualified to rise.
Other than that, the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon did not limit life and death. In this battlefield, death and injury were all too common. Furthermore, people were trapped in the same place to fight. If someone intended to kill you, you would not be able to escape even if you wanted to. All you could do was wait for death.
As such, the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was extremely cruel. After many years, those who were not top notch dared to participate, or they would become cannon fodder and die.
Fortunately, there were enough mighty ones in Crimson Dragon Realm. Crimson Dragon Realm gathered mighty ones from all realms, and powerful figures were sent here to train, batch after batch.
Top geniuses from all realms would want to try their hand at the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
The Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was a symbol in Crimson Dragon City, and it was also the embodiment of the martial spirit of Crimson Dragon Realm.
They pursued the limits of martial arts, pushing themselves to the brink and fighting the top notch figures of all realms.
Anyone who succeeded in rising would be rewarded. They were even qualified to join the Crimson Dragon Army under the command of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, becoming part of the strongest army in Crimson Dragon Realm.
Under such circumstances, the top forces in the major cities around Crimson Dragon City rarely sent their juniors to fight, unless they were extremely talented and had great confidence.
Even though Shen Jun was the young city lord of Qianye City, it was still difficult for him to find people to participate in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, not to mention the cultivators who had the chance to rise in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
As such, when they first met Ye Futian's group, they deliberately approached them and wanted to test their strength.
Then, he lied to Ye Futian to let Yu Sheng and the others participate in the battle.
At that moment, a figure descended from the gap in the sky above the Rising Dragon Platform. Holy light shrouded his body, and he looked around at the boundless castle area, announcing the rules of the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
"Young City Lord, it sounds like the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon will be very dangerous," Ye Futian said to Shen Jun, who was beside him.
That was not what Shen Jun had told him.
"Brother Ye, do you not believe in Yu Sheng and the others?" Shen Jun smiled and asked Ye Futian.
Ye Futian saw the smile in his eyes and nodded. He looked at the Rising Dragon Platform again and did not say anything.
The two people that Shen Jun had invited to spar with Yu Sheng and the others did not participate in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, a testament to Shen Jun's efforts.
He had been scheming against them since the first time they met.
If they were not strong enough, they might have clashed with Bai Ze after coming into contact with him, which would have put them in danger. Shen Jun could have had other plans, such as taking them in as subordinates.
But then again, Ye Futian might not have known that Shen Jun still had such thoughts.
As long as they participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, it would have been fine if they were to die in battle. However, if they were to rise in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, they would have definitely offended people on the battlefield. There was no way they would have been able to escape from him.
On the back of the crimson dragon, the cultivator of the Saint Plane, who was bathed in dazzling light, took out a list of names and opened it. He then announced the names of those who participated in the battle one by one. The list had actually been made public before, so many people knew about it.
However, everyone still listened intently. Every time he announced a name, a beam of light shone on one of the people below, drawing everyone's attention.
The noisy environment actually quietened down at this moment. Everyone was listening and watching.
"Pang Xiao of Crimson Cloud City." When the voice was heard, a beam of light shone on one of the people below. He was dressed in golden robes, which were carved with patterns of flames. He had a steady bearing, and he stood there like a mountain.
Pang Xiao of Crimson Cloud City had finally participated in the battle.
Before every Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, everyone would ask around about the top-notch figures of each city, guessing who might have participated in the battle.
Crimson Cloud City was not just a city in the Crimson Dragon Realm, but it was also established and occupied by a Renhuang realm near the Crimson Dragon Realm. They regarded Crimson Cloud City as their territory in the Crimson Dragon Realm. Such a situation was not uncommon, and there were many such places in the Crimson Dragon Realm.
The Pang clan of Crimson Cloud City was the surname of that Renhuang.
Pang Xiao was a direct descendant of the Renhuang bloodline.
Although Pang Xiao's identity was extraordinary, it was possible to encounter such figures in every Battle of the Sleeping Dragon. As such, it was not something to be surprised about. Such was the power of the master realm of the realm, and it was also a testament to how intense the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was.
In the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon a month ago, it was Kong Xuan and her sister from the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm who led several powerful demonic beasts and were almost invincible.
Who would it be this time?
Pang Xiao was one of the most reputable figures in the battle.
That saint continued to announce names. When he called out Yan Tong of Flaming Prison City, the crowd gasped in surprise as well, looking at the burly mighty one dressed in fiery red robes.
Yan Tong, the son of the city lord of Flaming Prison City, was participating in the battle himself. It was said that he possessed combat prowess that was invincible at his level. In Flaming Prison City, no one below Saint Plane would have been able to withstand his attacks.
Other than that, there was another extremely powerful figure who participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon — Zhuo Xu of the Black Flame clan, a descendant of the Black Flame Emperor, and a possessor of the royal bloodline. It was a testament to how terrifying his powers were.
Pang Xiao of Crimson Cloud City, Yan Tong of Flaming Prison City, and Zhuo Xu of the Black Flame clan were the three most reputable figures in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
Many claimed that if the three of them had not fought each other in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, they would have been able to earn the right to rise.
"Qianye City, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, Huang Jiuge, Xu Que, Qin Zhuang." As each name was announced, a beam of light shone on Yu Sheng and the other four. They were the five who participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
Gu Dongliu felt that he was not lacking in actual combat, and as such, did not participate. As for the others, their powers were lacking, and there was no need for them to participate. In truth, aside from Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen might have been slightly more powerful among the others. Huang Jiuge and the other two might not have been able to stand out in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
Qin Zhuang was considered a very powerful figure in the Nine States, but this was the Crimson Dragon Realm. If one were to know the identities of those who participated in the battle, they would have understood how terrifying the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was.
"There are five from Qianye City participating in the battle?" Many from other cities looked surprised, finding it strange.
They took a look at Yu Sheng and the other four, wondering which force they were from in Qianye City. Did they have a death wish?
Those who knew Shen Jun took a look at him and were puzzled. Could it be that Shen Jun tricked them into participating in the battle?
Kong Xuan was the only one who took a serious look at Yu Sheng and the others. It was true that Ye Futian was the most dazzling one in the Battle of Empty Realm all those years ago, but Yu Sheng and the others had taken the imperial flag of Emperor Li's City by surprise, and their powers were very formidable as well.
Now, Ye Futian dared to let Yu Sheng participate in the battle. She thought that Yu Sheng and the others had a very high chance of standing out and rising to the heavens in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
When the saint was done reading out everyone's names, he closed the list and said, "You can bet on the dragon now."
One figure after another stepped into the castle as soon as he finished.
Betting on the dragon was a bet on who would be able to rise. The rules were very simple. Everyone's name list was announced, and one could bet on whoever they thought would succeed in rising. The odds were one to one.
That rule made it easy to win, as people like Pang Xiao and Yan Tong had a high chance of succeeding in their ascension. However, in reality, there were so many mighty ones participating in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, and there were too many accidents. Judging from the statistics of the previous Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, Zhuang had always been the biggest winner in every Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
The Battle of the Sleeping Dragon and the Rising Dragon Platform were one of the properties of the Crimson Dragon Emperor. While the Crimson Dragon Emperor did not lack those resources, he wanted to raise the most powerful Crimson Dragon Army in the Crimson Dragon Realm. As such, he naturally needed the support of properties. He could not just rely on the Crimson Dragon Emperor to get everything, right?
As such, those properties were all run by the Crimson Dragon Emperor's subordinates.
Furthermore, it would be absolutely fair. The Crimson Dragon Emperor was such that he would not have ordered that demonic dragon to obstruct those who were qualified to rise. Who would have dared to embarrass the Crimson Dragon Emperor in front of everyone?
"Go bet on Yu Sheng of Qianye City," Kong Xuan ordered the person behind her and handed a storage ring to him.
It was apparent that she wanted to join in on the fun.
She looked at Ye Futian, who was opposite her. Although she hated Ye Futian for making her suffer a crushing defeat in the Empty Realm, she still believed in the abilities of Ye Futian and his people. This was a form of respect for an opponent who could defeat her.
"Go bet on Yusheng." Shen Jun spoke up as well. Back at the inn in Qianye City, he had bet that Yu Sheng would be able to rise to the Dragon Plane.
Ye Futian looked at Shen Jun and asked, "How much can I bet on dragons?"
"Any bets below the Royal Level will be accepted." Shen Jun replied. However, there were very few people who would go crazy with their bets. After all, if there was an accident, it would be over.
The Battle of the Sleeping Dragon had all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. Anything could happen, and no one had absolute confidence.
"Can I borrow some?" Ye Futian looked at Xia Qingyuan and asked.
Xia Qingyuan glared at him and handed him a storage ring.
Ye Futian smiled and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that they are a little poor. Otherwise, they would have gone bankrupt."
How could he miss such an opportunity? Of course, he would bet all his money on Yu Sheng!
