The Divine wilderness was located in the northern part of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, so the weather tended to be cold. On this day, the northern wind blew and it started snowing heavily in the night. Layers of snowflakes fell, turning the Tai Ah Divine City into a world of white. N ∈,
At five in the morning, the sky was still dark. Yi Yun walked out of his stone house and saw a thick layer of snow. Under the blue dawn sky, it had a pale blue luster.
The bluish-white snow matched with the surrounding stone houses and the cold steel city walls gave people an inexplicable feeling. It was like a magical mythological world.
"Dang"
"Dang"
"Dang"
At this moment, the arena's bell rang. This sound was slow, melodious and lingering. It resounded throughout the entire Tai Ah Divine City.
This was the bell for the rookie ranking competition. The Tai Ah Divine City's cultivators, especially the rookies, had been waiting for this bell to ring.
Many of them had been meditating all night, adjusting their mental state to its optimal state, waiting for this battle!
This was the first battle that determined their future!
The rookies came out of their residences and formed streams of people as they walked towards the arena.
There were also two or three year veterans that followed the rookies to the arena. They were here specifically to watch the rookie competition.
In every rookie competition, there would be some outstanding rookies that would soar into the top 6000 or 4000. These people were enough to pose a threat to the veteran cultivators that had been in the Tai Ah Divine City for 3-4 years.
Therefore, they also wanted to see what kind of ruthless people had appeared among this batch of newcomers. They wanted to see who was worthy of their attention.
"I heard that the Divine City has increased the rewards for this rookie ranking competition. Anyone who can enter the top 8000 will be rewarded with dragon scale runes. If one can enter the top 6000, the reward will be doubled. Also, the person ranked first among the rookies will be rewarded with a glory point. He will also be rewarded with a chance to cultivate in the Sword Scar Palace and the Sage Hall! "
In the crowd, a well-informed rookie said. The Tai Ah Divine City had not officially announced the rewards, but it had already been decided.
"Sword Scar Palace? Sage Hall? And glory points? Ze Ze! "
Many rookies heard this and drooled. They were drooling. Of course, they also knew that these rewards were not fated with them.
This year's rewards were especially generous. It seemed like the upper echelons of the Tai Ah Divine City felt that this batch of rookies was not bad, so they increased the rewards.
For example, Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu had hopes of entering the top 1000 of the Heaven or Earth Roll within a year. To produce two such figures in a single year, it was absolutely incredible.
Many people were looking forward to the battle between Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu.
Yi Yun was in the crowd, listening to the discussions of the crowd.
He said nothing. But no matter where he went, he was like a firefly in the night, incomparably eye-catching. The pedestrians on the road all cast their gazes at Yi Yun.
"See? It's that person, the most ferocious person in our rookie circle. Going against the entire Hongdao Association alone! "
People looked over and saw Yi Yun wearing linen clothes and carrying an excessively long saber on his back. His hands were in his pockets as he slowly walked towards the arena. From his expression, it was as if Yi Yun was going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. There was no sign of nervousness or unease on his face.
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
Awesome!
With so many people declaring war on him, it was as if he was no longer afraid of being bitten. He did not care at all.
Ignoring everything else, just this kid's mentality had been cultivated to the point of being invulnerable and impervious to fire and water.
"This is a true ferocious warrior!"
Some people sighed. Everyone was impressed by Yi Yun.
In the circle of the first year recruits, Yi Yun's name was well-known. The recent major events, like capturing the primordial herb, breaking the record, and the Hongdao Association being smacked in the face, were all related to him!
If this person wasn't a ferocious warrior, what was he?
About 15 minutes later, people from all over the Tai Ah Divine City slowly gathered in the arena.
The Tai Ah Divine City's arena was a huge circular building. It was about ten stories tall.
There were twelve entrances to the arena. In the middle, there were nine arenas. There was a large arena in the middle, with eight smaller arenas surrounding it.
Surrounding the arenas were rows of weapon racks.
On these metal racks, there were all sorts of sabers, swords, spears, halberds, lances, bows, whips …
All 18 types of weapons were present!
Although these weapons were not the best, they were still extraordinary. They were all made by the Tai Ah Divine City's refining workshops. Many of them were made by previous generations of cultivators.
Of course, the trial-takers who could leave their creations in the arena were all outstanding trial-takers.
But typically, warriors who entered the arena would rarely choose the weapons on the racks. They would rather use their own weapons as it was more convenient.
Outside the racks, twenty meters away were the stands.
These stands were layered and could hold up to 20,000 people. Every stand was very spacious and comfortable to sit on.
The arena had always been the place with the most people in the Tai Ah Divine City. Many of the Tai Ah Divine City's experts gathered here to compete. With so many participants, there were naturally more spectators.
Many cultivators came to watch the battles of others. They could gain experience from the battles between experts. This was very beneficial to the warriors present.
There were about 2000 rookies and about 1000 veteran cultivators. Together with the other staff, there were less than 4000 people. After entering the arena, the entire arena was still empty. It was too easy for the arena to hold 4000 people.
"You're all here!?"
When Yi Yun came to his seat, he heard a voice. It was Baldy Qin!
As Yi Yun, Zhou Kui and company's instructor, Baldy Qin was not absent from the first battle of these recruits.
"Keep your spirits up. Whether it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a spin. It's fine if it's our own training in the arena, but in front of outsiders, don't embarrass me! Do you understand!? "
Baldy Qin's opening words were very simple.
Zhou Kui and the rest shouted. "Understood!!"
"Good!"
Baldy Qin nodded and gave Yi Yun a deep look, "Kid, you sure know how to do it!"
Yi Yun gave a military salute and simply replied, "Reporting to Instructor, it's alright."
"Ha! Good ambition! Even if they take turns to fight you, you have to show your might for our Jing state recruit camp. Kill them all! "
Baldy Qin forcefully patted Yi Yun's shoulder. With a loud bang, the ground beneath Yi Yun's feet trembled.
The surrounding youths were secretly horrified seeing this. This slap would probably kill an elephant, but Yi Yun had withstood it without moving a muscle.
"Yes, Instructor!"
Yi Yun's resounding answer satisfied Baldy Qin, "Did you hear that? Don't think they are strong just because they are ranked ahead of you. Keep your spirits up. Even if you are beaten down on the battlefield, you have to drag them down with you!"
Baldy Qin was encouraging the recruits. At this time, in the middle of the stage, a law-enforcer from the central divine tower gave his opening speech.
His speech was short. He announced the competition's rules, ranking rules and the final rewards. He then announced the beginning of the ranking competition!
"Dang!"
The bell that symbolized the beginning of the competition rang once again. Many of the rookies held their breaths.
This was their first battle in the Tai Ah Divine City, in front of so many people, including the elites, instructors and law-enforcers from all over the country!
Even their family clans were watching their matches through various channels.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them not to be nervous.
"Next, the people whose numbers are read out, please come on stage!"
"Platform Qian, number 11,810, Zhong Han! Number twelve thousand and seven, Bai Mingyuan! "
"Platform Kun, number 11,642, Liu Heyu! Number 12,050, Jiang Deyuan! "
"Zhen stage …"
…
A referee in charge of the competition began to read out the name list.
Everyone had their own corresponding ranking number.
Those ranked lower would compete in the surrounding eight small stages. These eight small stages were numbered according to the Eight Trigrams, "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui".
And the ones ranked higher would go to the central stage!
This stage was named the Divine Wilderness Stage!
The Divine Wilderness Stage was not a place any ordinary person had the opportunity to go up.
"Divine Wilderness Stage, 10,003, Yi Yun! Number 10,750, Feng Hai! "
The referee's loud voice resounded in the arena.
Oh? I'm going on stage just like that?
Yi Yun was stunned. He thought that he would have to wait a while before it was his turn. He never expected that his name would be called not long after he came to the competition.
Indeed, he was being challenged by so many people. He had to fight twelve matches a day. The referee was probably considering that he should go up right from the start and slowly intersperse the matches later. By dragging out the matches, he could recover some stamina.
"Haha! It's my turn now! "
On the Hongdao Association's side, a tall youth jumped up excitedly. He was one of the Four Bully Lords. His name was Feng Hai.
He did not expect that he would be the first to go up, and it was the central Divine Wilderness Stage!
It was impressive!
Yi Yun and Feng Hai's match had undoubtedly attracted the attention of the audience!
