Wu Yu was telling Xiao Han and Huo Yang the rules of the Southern Region Selection.
"Thirty thousand people will compete for the 300 spots in the main competition through a ring battle." Wu Yu said in a deep voice.
"Ring battle?" Xiao Han frowned. "Sect Master, thirty thousand people fighting in the ring?
How spectacular would that be … "
Wu Yu said with a faint smile.
"Of course we can't let thirty thousand people fight at the same time. That would be extremely chaotic and out of control.
The Monster Hero Pagoda has stipulated that the thirty thousand geniuses in the Southern Region will be divided into 100 batches. Each batch will have 300 people and three spots will be decided. "
"Oh?" Xiao Han and Huo Yang looked at each other subconsciously.
Xiao Mingchu and the other true disciples immediately understood and nodded.
"Simply put, it's 300 people fighting for three spots." Wu Yu's fingers rhythmically tapped on the armrest of the wooden chair.
"Xiao Han, Huo Yang, listen carefully. The thirty thousand people will be divided into 100 groups with 300 people in each group.
Three spots will be decided through the ring battle.
There will be a total of 300 spots in 100 groups.
Among them, there are no seeded contestants in each group. They are randomly grouped.
In other words, there is a certain element of luck in this grouping. "
Yes, if there is no seeded contestant, then it is possible that the strongest part of the thirty thousand people will be divided into the same group. This kind of group is truly a group of death.
"Sect Master, there is a chance of forming a group of death." Xiao Mingchu thought for a moment.
"The key now is to know which of the thirty thousand geniuses can pose a threat to Junior Brother Xiao Han."
"Mo Qingtong of the Sky Demon Sect is a ruthless character.
Oh yes, I also heard that the famous Monster Hero of the Blazing Sun Empire, Great Sun Emperor, has a disciple called 'Prince Huo Lie'.
At the age of 20, he opened 42 acupoints and reached the peak of the fifth level of true qi. He also received the inheritance of the Great Sun Emperor and cultivated the 'Great Sun Heart Sutra'. It is no small matter.
I personally think that 'Prince Huo Lie' is a hot young man in the Southern Region recently.
In terms of battle strength, he may not be below 'Mo Qingtong'.
He is also a terrifying opponent that can cause trouble for Junior Brother Xiao Han. "Fang Ling said.
"I also know one person.
He is also from the Beacon Fire Empire.
He's Xiafeng from Mingjian Villa, 25 years old this year. "Dongfang Qin blurted out.
"Xiafeng.
I know, "Fang Ling immediately replied.
"Before the age of 20, this person is considered mediocre.
In fact, he was still stuck at the Physical Body Realm.
He was not valued by Mingjian Villa.
He's basically an ordinary outer sect disciple that has been eliminated and neglected. "
"What?
Senior Brother Fang Ling is still stuck at the Physical Body Realm at the age of 20?
He was 25 years old this year, which meant …
In five years, he had risen like a comet?
Was it because he had been accumulating for a long time or was he suddenly enlightened?
Or did he run into some fortuitous encounter? "Xiao Han was surprised.
"Yes … At the age of 21, Xiafeng fell into a deep sleep.
He slept for four years.
He didn't wake up in between, "Fang Ling said.
"This?" Xiao Han thought to himself. Sleeping for several years, this should be the symptoms of brain death and vegetative state, right?
"Four years later, Xiafeng woke up.
His swordsmanship cultivation was like a hot knife cutting through butter, and his realm rose steadily. Within a year, he had advanced from the Physical Body realm to the Zhenqi realm.
Dredging acupoints was like eating and drinking.
Moreover, he has comprehended the sword intent that can only be encountered by luck and not sought. "Fang Ling said leisurely.
"He became the number one sword cultivator in the younger generation of the Famous Sword Villa.
In his hands, any sword technique could be transformed into something magical.
He was called 'Sword God Possession'.
Or he may become the future master of the Famous Sword Villa.
This year's Monster Hero Trial.
He is determined to win. "
"This can't be a sudden enlightenment, he must have been possessed by the remnant soul of some ancient sword god." Dongfang Qin asserted.
"Xiafeng's situation.
It's also recorded in ancient books.
Occasionally, some mortals suddenly fell into a deep sleep and woke up a few years later, or even more than a decade later, cultivating martial arts was as easy as picking up grass. "
"It may be that the inheritance in his bloodline has been awakened.
This kind of thing is very strange and can't be speculated.
But according to my knowledge, the ancestor of 'Xiafeng' may have given birth to a super sword cultivator.
His deep sleep may be the inheritance factor contained in his genes, which awakened accidentally and wanted to merge with his memory, forcing him to sleep.
After waking up, his root bone and talent inherited the ancestor's inheritance and completely changed his fate.
This kind of person is very difficult to deal with.
In his memory, he may have awakened the swordsmanship cultivation method of his ancestor.
Ancient swordsmanship is the most powerful cultivation method that can kill and destroy a country. "Wu Qin said indifferently.
"It seems that this' Xiafeng 'is the most difficult one among the talents of the Famous Sword Villa to participate in the Monster Hero Trial."
"How about this …" Xiao Mingchu said directly.
"Junior Brother Dongfang, Junior Brother Fang, the three of us are all Swordsmen. Among the countless Swordsmen who have come to the Southern Domain, there are also some who are our best friends. The three of us are responsible for helping Xiao Han and Huo Wu find out which of the thirty thousand geniuses participating in the preliminaries is the strongest.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Sort out the clues for Junior Brother Xiao Han and Junior Sister Huo Yang, at least know which young people have the battle strength of the seeded players.
In this way, once the groups are divided, we can roughly find out the gap between the strong and the weak in this group. "
"Okay, let's use our connections!" Dongfang Qin and Fang Ling said in unison.
Wu Qin also nodded, "I will also personally inquire about the information.
Xiao Han, Huo Yang, you stay in this palace and don't wander around. After five days, there will be a grouping ceremony.
More than thirty thousand people will be divided into 100 groups.
At that time, you will know what kind of group you will be in.
I also hope that your grouping will be better, and not be divided into the group of death that is likely to happen.
Especially Huo Yang, your battle strength and talent, compared to the entire young generation of the Southern Region, can only be considered average. If you want to get a place in the main competition, you can only hope to be in a weaker group. "
"Yes, Sect Master, Huo Yang knows his own strength.
But even if there is a glimmer of hope, Huo Yang will fight desperately for it! "Huo Yang's eyes flashed with determination.
"Hmm?" Xiao Han's mind moved slightly. He suddenly felt that Huo Yang attached great importance to this Monster Hero qualifier.
In fact, Xiao Han could even keenly sense that there was a hint of a death wish on Huo Yang's body.
As if it was either success or death.
"Why is she so determined?
With her strength, she should know that it will be difficult for her to pass the qualifier and get a place in the main competition. "Xiao Han frowned slightly.
Wu Qin took a deep look at Huo Yang and seemed to have noticed something, but he did not ask further.
He smiled lightly.
"Okay, in five days, the results will be out.
Of course, there may not be a group of death. "
At this moment …
"Brother Wu, how have you been!
Mo Chen is here to pay a visit! "A powerful voice sounded outside the hall.
This voice was extremely dignified. It was obviously the voice of a leader who had been giving orders for a long time.
"The current emperor of the Beacon Fire Empire is here." Wu Qin shook his head and laughed, then looked at Xiao Han.
"Xiao Han, follow me out to deal with this.
Last time, you were escaping from being hunted.
You sneaked into the wedding procession of the Beacon Fire Empire's royal family. It seems that you kidnapped the princess and killed a Monster Hero of the royal family, Nangong Ye.
Is this true? "
"Ahem … Sect Master, I had no choice.
As for the princess, I did not do anything wrong. "Xiao Han laughed dryly.
"Okay.
Now that the old emperor is here, go and deal with him. "Wu Qin did not seem to care about the majesty of the emperor and led Xiao Han out with a smile.
Xiao Mingchu and the other true disciples smiled and followed behind to watch the show.
Outside the palace.
The current emperor of the Beacon Fire Empire was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. He stood in the garden outside the palace with a gloomy face.
His whole body surged with endless auspicious clouds.
Auspicious air, precious clouds, and light.
Mountains and rivers flashed in his eyes, and the sky was full.
He casually stood there, and there was silence in all directions. His every movement was full of majesty.
Behind the emperor.
There stood a young man in a royal robe, about twenty-five years old.
Around six years old, his appearance was somewhat similar to the emperor's.
This young man's aura was extremely strong, cold, proud, and overlooking the world.
Around his body, streams of air rolled and condensed into the shape of a dragon, making an old dragon roar.
It seemed that every true qi could turn into a dragon, suppress the ages, sweep the sun and moon, and sweep the universe.
His body slightly moved, and suddenly the wind and clouds surged. The wind and thunder of heaven and earth, the dragon, tiger, and black tortoise all appeared!
Xiao Han and Wu Qin had just left the palace when the emperor and the young man in the royal robe looked at Xiao Han at the same time. The emperor's pressure directly shrouded over!
"Xiao Han!" The emperor's dragon face was furious.
"You are Xiao Han?
Good!
You are very good!
You dared to kidnap my daughter, Mo Hen!
You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Also, my beloved general, Nangong Ye, died in your hands, right?
How dare you!
You have committed a heinous crime! "
As soon as they met, the emperor pinned many crimes on Xiao Han's head.
In his rage, he seemed to want to immediately execute Xiao Han.
However, Xiao Han had cultivated the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist and was about to reach perfection. His temperament contained the power of the emperor, the power of an emperor. Therefore, facing the emperor's pressure, not only was Xiao Han not afraid, but he also felt contempt.
The emperor's aura was far less noble than the aura of the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist.
"Mo Chen, you are shouting here. Do you think my Pure Cloud Sect is nothing?" Wu Qin smiled.
"Put away your emperor's prestige.
It is useless in front of me. "
"Humph!
Wu Qin!
I knew you would protect him!
However, this Xiao Han deserves to die!
I advise you to hand him over to me. Otherwise, your Pure Cloud Sect and I will not let this matter rest! "
The emperor roared angrily. However, his eyes were still filled with fear when facing Wu Qin.
"Mo Chen, I have already given you enough face by coming to see you. That's enough. Leave this place at once.
Xiao Han is a disciple of the Pure Cloud Sect. He is not bound by the laws of the mortal world. Put away your prestige, "Wu Qin said impatiently.
"You!"
The emperor's aura surged. In his rage, a pitch-black hand appeared above his head. It covered the mountains, rivers, and earth, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
"Hahahaha … Mo Chen, you?
You still want to fight? "Wu Qin laughed as if he had seen something funny.
"That's enough, father. Don't be angry.
It's not worth it. "The young man in the royal robe took a step forward. He was very calm and looked at Xiao Han.
"Xiao Han, where is my sister Mo Hen now?
Tell me. "
"I don't know." Xiao Han shrugged.
"Oh?" The young man in the royal robe's eyes narrowed.
"Xiao Han, you probably think that with Sect Leader Wu protecting you, you'll be so arrogant and complacent, right?
But you have to know that Sect Leader Wu can't protect you forever.
Fine, it's fine if you don't say it.
One day, you will fall into this crown prince's hands. At that time … this crown prince has at least a hundred kinds of torture to make you tell the truth.
Oh right, you are here to participate in the preliminaries, right?
En, I hope that in five days, this crown prince can be in the same group as you.
This crown prince will make you regret being born in this world! "
His words were like a monarch descending from the heavens, with a sense of victory from a thousand miles away.
"Get lost!" Xiao Han smiled.
"There's nothing to brag about.
Since you said so, I really hope to be in the same group as you.
En … Sect Leader, is it allowed to kill on the stage in the preliminaries? "
"Yes." Wu Qin nodded.
Light as water.
"Swords have no eyes.
Life and death are up to fate. "
"Good.
This disciple understands. "Xiao Han looked at the young man in the royal robe deeply and licked his lips. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Father, let's go." The young man in the royal robe looked at Xiao Han and left with the emperor.
"This crown prince does have some strength.
He is not a spoiled brat of the royal family. "
Suddenly, Wu Qin smiled. "Xiao Han, this crown prince has a special physique. He cultivates two types of qi at the same time.
Furthermore, he has opened 39 acupoints and is at the peak of the fourth level.
If you really are in the same group as him, be careful.
He should be one of the seeded contestants for the Southern Region preliminaries. "
"This disciple understands." Xiao Han nodded.
"This disciple has no fear.
On the contrary, this disciple hopes to be in the group of death. "
"Oh?" Wu Qin smiled at Xiao Han.
"Er … Sect Leader, this disciple's cultivation and various martial techniques seem to have reached a bottleneck. I need a fierce battle to break through the bottleneck." Xiao Han's eyes were filled with battle intent.
"Hahahahaha!
Good!
Very good!
Let's see the groups in five days! "Wu Qin smiled, his eyes filled with admiration.
…
