"How can this be!"
"This is the rule. The first row has always been a place where only the esteemed guests of my Burning Flame Valley can sit. Their strength has to be at least at the Origin King level. With just these few people, we can just change the chairs if they break. What right do they have to sit in the first row?"
The expressions of the few Burning Flame Valley deacons around him instantly changed when Qin Yan uttered these words. Even they had to treat the guests seated in the first row with respect. However, Xiao Yan had clearly injured one of the Burning Flame Valley's deacons earlier. They were already being magnanimous by not chasing him out. How could they allow him to sit in the first row now?
"It's only right to apologize if you've done something wrong. Right now, I'm saying that mister Xiao Yan and the others can sit in the first row. Do you have any objections?"
Qin Yan suddenly turned around as soon as the envoys had spoken. His sharp gaze immediately locked onto them. His eyes were filled with an irrefutable feeling.
"But …"
"There's no need for buts. Just do as Qin Yan says."
Just as those few deacons wanted to argue a little more, Xuan Hua's voice was suddenly transmitted from the Elders' seats on the opposite side of the viewing gallery. When the few of them saw this, the words that were about to reach their mouths were hurriedly swallowed back. They clenched their teeth and finally respectfully bowed and responded. Their hearts were filled with hidden bitterness as they invited Xiao Yan and the others to the seats in the first row.
Xiao Yan's group immediately became the focus of attention the moment they sat down. Forget about this conspicuous position, just what Xiao Yan had done earlier had already stirred the curiosity of quite a number of people present. Even those experts at the Origin class would occasionally pay attention to Xiao Yan's group. This was especially the case when their eyes landed on Xiao Yan. An additional surprised expression would appear in their eyes.
Even though he was only an early Returnance brat, they discovered to their surprise that there seemed to be a layer of hazy mist on the surface of Xiao Yan's body when they wanted to investigate him closely. It completely blocked their senses. Even though they were Origin Kings, they were still unable to see through the black-robed young man before them.
It was not only the guests who felt that way. Even many of the Burning Flame Valley's elders who were seated in the elder's seating area had shocked expressions on their faces. Of course, although there were quite a few people like that, not all of them were unable to see the depth of the situation.
After this small interlude with Xiao Yan's group, the competition in the arena continued. The selection process of the individual battles continued for a total of three days. It was not until the evening of the third day that the first round of the selection officially ended. The original one thousand participants had now been reduced by more than half.
On the fourth day, the second round of selection officially began.
Without a doubt, the second round of selection was even faster than the first. The remaining four hundred or so disciples would undergo a large selection.
All of the disciples would gather in one place and engage in a chaotic battle. As long as all of the opponents were defeated or their opponents admitted defeat, the remaining fifty people would successfully enter the next round of the competition. At the same time, they would be personally met by the Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley.
This round of selection was, without a doubt, the key to their glory. It could even affect their future. At the same time, the severity of this round of selection was unquestionable.
Accompanied by a huge rumbling sound, the huge square actually slowly protruded towards the ground. The entire auditorium trembled slightly at this moment. Everyone who was unfamiliar with this scene immediately revealed a look of panic on their faces. A few minutes later, when the edge of the stone platform was about ten feet away from the ground, the entire stone platform slowly stabilized.
Soon after, the Burning Flame Valley's disciples around the viewing gallery, who had already prepared for this moment, immediately turned into numerous rays of light. Their bodies were covered in bright red flames as they rushed onto the stone platform like meteors. Such a scene could be said to be breathtaking.
Xiao Yan had also noticed Qin Yan among those disciples. Of course, Xiao Yan was not the only one who had noticed him.
As the main focus of the Burning Flame Valley's Grand Competition this time around, his actions on the stage would undoubtedly attract the attention of everyone below the stage.
After all the remaining disciples had entered the arena, the formation carved on the surrounding stone pillars in the huge square was activated. A golden-colored light barrier swiftly rose into the sky and covered the entire selection square.
After the formation was completely activated, a white-robed Burning Flame Valley's elder slowly floated into the air above the square. A pair of turbid old eyes slowly swept over everyone in the viewing gallery below. His gaze paused for a moment when it swept over some people in the first row and Xiao Yan's group. Only then did he slowly open his mouth. His old voice was softly spat out and reverberated beside everyone's ears.
"The rules of the second round of the selection are the same as before. Now, let us officially begin!"
As his voice faded, all the disciples in the middle of the square instantly released the Genesis Qi within their bodies. They used different methods to form various armor or weapons. While they swiftly pulled apart the distance between each other, numerous gazes cautiously scanned each other.
The atmosphere in the square gradually tensed. No one took the initiative to attack, and no one calmly waited. Everyone clearly understood just how harsh and cruel this selection was. Once they attacked, they had to guarantee that they would defeat their opponent. Otherwise, they would likely be blasted out of the battle in the next second.
Other than a portion of the younger generation members who had already made a name for themselves in the Burning Flame Valley, the rest of the people who had successfully advanced to the second round of the selection naturally possessed extraordinary battle power. Once a battle erupted between these people, it would naturally attract the attention of others.
As for Xiao Yan, he naturally focused all of his attention on Qin Yan. Ever since he became aware of the latter's battle achievements, Xiao Yan's heart had become a little more wary of Qin Yan.
Being able to stand out from a thousand people and even make the Burning Flame Valley's elder give in to him was already sufficient to prove his strength. In the face of such an opponent, Zhou Yuan could not afford to be the slightest bit careless.
Although Qin Yan was also present in the square, he was different from most people. No one dared to approach within a hundred feet of him. This invisible deterrent force seemed to have formed a special battleground. The latter also obediently stayed at his spot, not moving at all. It was as if he was waiting for his prey to come knocking on his door.
"This fellow is quite an interesting person."
Xiao Yan could not help but softly chuckle upon seeing this scene. To be able to create such a deterrent force amongst those of the same generation, one must admit that Qin Yan was indeed quite capable.
"Clang!"
Just as Xiao Yan was focusing all of his attention on Qin Yan, the tense atmosphere in the square was finally broken by someone first.
The sharp sword in his hand was especially tricky as it ruthlessly pierced toward the person who was also holding a weapon closest to him.
Although it was a sudden attack, the minds of everyone in the square were in a tense state at this moment. The moment this person attacked, the other people in the square immediately sensed it. Even the person who was attacked also swiftly turned around. The weapon in his hand slashed behind him without any hesitation. The other people in the surroundings also completely erupted the moment these two people attacked.
