Other than Mei Ruoxue, the eldest senior sister in Fifth Rank of Arcana Human Stage, the other disciples were all below the seventh level of Brightly Lit Stage. As a result, the preliminaries on this trip to the Secret Realm was practically equivalent to the great display of Outer Sect in the Qinglian Peak.
In this selection, the disciples who had gone into closed-door seclusion to train and the disciples who had gone out to train would all enter the arena to determine the victor. As for those famous masters, they would even show off their skills on the challenger's platform and compete for the chance to enter the mystic realm.
These disciples did not have an illustrious family background and master; they urgently needed cultivation resources. Furthermore, the rumours were that Chinese medicinal herbs were everywhere, and high-grade medicinal herbs seemed to be everywhere in the secret plane. To them, it was like a paradise.
On this day, the Qinglian Peak were packed with people, and some disciples who had been training outside rushed back to the sect.
"It's a pity that I only have True Soul Stage Level 9, and entering the arena is courting death. Otherwise, I would really want to enter the secret realm."
"Heh heh, I say that this time, all the warriors below the fourth stage of Brightly Lit Stage would be disgraced if they go. This time around, all of the participants will be fighting with experts.
"Who do you think will win this time? It will represent our Profound Heaven Sect and go to that secret realm to fight with the other factions."
"Isn't that nonsense? He was, after all, a peak of the third stage of Arcana Human Stage, not far from the fourth stage, and had almost comprehended sword intent. Only he could make this trip to the secret realm. I think that when he returns from the secret realm this time, with the help of the medicinal ingredients he got from the secret realm, he will very quickly reach the fourth stage of the Arcana Human Stage. "
"That's right, this time's Qinglian Peak selection's first place will definitely be Senior Dugu, it's just that this time our Qinglian Peak has two spots, who will the other one be?"
"Brother Liu Tianbao is ranked third on Qinglian Peak, and is known as the Traceless Sword. The speed of the swift sword in his hand is as fast as the wind and is unparalleled. His own realm had already reached the third level of the Arcana Human Stage long ago and it would not be inferior even to Dugu One's senior brother. "
"Senior Yang Weiguo is also very powerful. A mixed iron rod that weighs over 800 jin is truly very overbearing. Although it cannot break Senior Dugu's sword intent, there is great hope for him to fight for the second position."
"Senior Brother Yang Weiguo lost to Senior Brother Pann Wenloong last time. Senior Brother Pan is known as the Lifestealer Chaser, with a Life-Ending Blade in one hand and a knife in the other. Ordinary warriors were chopped into ghost by him before they could even see his blade clearly. He didn't know how many people died to his Lifesteal Knife. Under his imposing manner, ordinary Outer Sect disciples have long been scared out of their wits. "
"We are talking about famous experts. The rewards from this trip to the secret plane would definitely attract some experts who were keeping a low profile. "There are also some new geniuses that may show their skills in the selection."
"Oh right, wasn't there a newbie called Ouyang Xiaotian a while ago? He had comprehended sword intent and defeated the original seventh Qinglian Peak's Zheng Fann, and he was also a powerful figure!"
"If Senior Brother Ouyang wants to defeat Senior Dugu and Senior Liu, it will be quite difficult."
"..."
Countless disciples surrounded the dueling platform. Those who did not squeeze in, some stood on the surrounding mountain rocks, some even climbed up trees, some even rode on huge contracted Demonic Beast and watched from afar.
To most of the Qinglian Peak disciples, this selection round would be a rare grand gathering.
These disciples discussed amongst themselves, and the names that they mentioned were practically all people with Qinglian Peak that were capable.
Of course, some lecherous disciples also came to admire beauties. Their eyes had already searched those beauties' bodies a thousand times. If they had seen the beauties once, they would have lost a little bit of their weight. Then, these beauties would have turned into paper men long ago.
Ever since he entered the sect, Ouyang Xiaotian had been busy with cultivation and had no idea about the so-called geniuses in Qinglian Peak. Knowing one's own soul, one would not be defeated even after a hundred battles. In order to obtain the qualifications to enter the secret realm, at this moment, Ouyang Xiaotian was standing in the crowd, listening to the surrounding disciples' discussions and secretly memorizing the information of those geniuses.
Profound Heaven Sect is really a place where geniuses gather. There are a lot of genius disciples who can kill enemies beyond their cultivation levels. Although Ouyang Xiaotian was already at the second level of Arcana Human Stage, he didn't dare think that he could defeat all of the Qinglian Peak's disciples.
Standing beside Ouyang Xiaotian were Zuo Tianyuv and Ling Bo. They also chose to participate in the preliminaries with the purpose of learning.
"Senior Dugu and the others are here!" Someone exclaimed.
"Senior brother Liu, Senior brother Pan, Senior brother Yang, Senior brother Dugu … It really is a gathering of experts. Hehe, this time's selection is going to be a good show! " Another disciple said excitedly.
Looking around, everyone saw a dozen or so people striding over. In front of them were Elder Yan Daode and a few Outer Sect Deacon, and behind them were a group of elite Qinglian Peak disciples.
The crowd opened up a path as Elder Yan Daode strode towards the arena and said loudly, "The rules of the secret realm selection competition are very simple. The top two will be decided in a two versus two matches and the person will be qualified to enter the secret realm." As for the arrangements for the battle, they were arranged by drawing lots. The four people around me were seeded contestants. Outer Sect Deacon will arrange for the other participants to draw lots at random. "
The four seeded participants, Dugu Xingfeng, Liu Tianbao, Yang Weiguo and Pann Wenloong were the four people with the strongest Qinglian Peak other than Mei Ruoxue.
As seeded contestants, they were trying to avoid encountering the four of them and getting out early.
As for the names of the other participants, they were written on a piece of paper. Each piece of paper was made into a ball of paper and thrown into a closed wooden box. Outer Sect Deacon casually grabbed two balls of paper and the people on top of the two balls started to fight together.
"Pann Wenloong, you go draw your lot first!"
At Yan Daode's command, a young man with a face as sharp as a knife walked out from behind him. He wore a grey robe, and his face was pale. A grey curved blade hung from his waist.
As a seeded contestant, Pann Wenloong was proud of his Lifesteal Knife. He casually took out a small paper ball from the wooden box, opened it and said, "Zuo Tianyuv."
"Hua!" The crowd burst into an uproar. Pann Wenloong had drawn an expert in the top twenty of Qinglian Peak.
Zuo Tianyuv, who was standing beside Ouyang Xiaotian, had a dull expression. Against Liu Tie, who was at the first level of Arcana Human Stage, Zuo Tianyuv had almost no chance of winning.
Zuo Tianyuv was extremely unlucky!
Unfortunately, he met one of the four seeded contestants in the first round, especially against Pann Wenloong who had the same style as him.
"Sigh, my eyelids were jumping the day I signed up. As expected, there is nothing good about it." We met Pann Wenloong, this monster in the first round! "
Zuo Tianyuv muttered with a bitter face as he walked towards the arena.
"Senior brother Pan, after you!"
