The heavy stone door was tightly shut!
On the stone door, there were many obscure inscriptions and patterns engraved, looking extremely mysterious.
Knowing that the first examination venue was behind the stone door, the ten thousand contestants all looked forward, hoping that the crippled old man could open the stone door quickly.
The audience held their breath.
Xiao Han licked his lips and stared at the stone door, his heart beating faster.
However, the crippled old man did not seem to have any intention of opening the stone door immediately. Instead, he kept nagging … "Little guys, as you know, the competition is about to begin.
It's really thrilling.
You must be very nervous and excited, right?
Hahaha … "He laughed, revealing his missing teeth, making a funny sound like a bellows. Many of the contestants wanted to laugh, but they tried hard to hold it back.
The crippled old man kept nagging … "The mortality rate is very high in the Hex Hero preliminaries. Sometimes, if you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Especially this year … the mortality rate is more than 90% … "
The crippled old man actually nagged for more than half an hour!
He kept saying some platitudes, but still refused to open the stone door.
"Brother Xiao …" Mo Qingtong whispered beside Xiao Han, "This old man is probably ten thousand years old. He seems to be senile and confused, talking incoherently. How can such an old guy be the chief examiner?
If he goes on like this, he won't be able to finish in a few hours … "
"Miss Mo, this old man is unfathomable. Don't talk too much … Just listen." Xiao Han laughed involuntarily.
At this moment …
"This examiner …" Among the people of the Great Wilderness, a young man more than three meters tall, with a strong back and a bear's waist, eyes like a ferocious bird, and a green eagle tattoo on his left cheek. It was vivid and fierce.
Between his breaths, his flesh shell moved slightly, releasing a strong power to crush everything.
He took a step forward, crossed his arms, and said proudly.
"Examiner, everything you said has been said several times by our tribe's Hex Hero. I don't think it's necessary to repeat it.
The mortality rate is high in the Hex Hero preliminaries, but we are all willing to take risks. That's why we are able to get through the bloody battles in the preliminaries and come here.
Examiner, hurry up and open the stone door … "
"Oh?"
The crippled old man paused. He narrowed his eyes and looked at this young man from the Great Desolate. A ruthless light flashed in his old eyes as he slowly said.
"You're a little fellow from the Great Wilderness, right?
Didn't your tribe's heroes teach you to respect the examiners?
Alright, your spot in the main competition has been taken away. Scram immediately! "
"What?!" The young man was taken aback for a moment before a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
"Examiner, I've fought with my life on the line and finally managed to get into the main competition. How can you deprive me of my place in the main competition with just a few words?"
"I'll say it for the last time.
Cough, cough … cough … "The crippled old man kept coughing as if he was about to die from coughing.
"Preposterous!
A rotten old man like you actually told me to scram?
Do you know that I'm the most outstanding young man in the Aguda Tribe!?
He tore a luan with his bare hands as if he was tearing a piece of paper, and he had even opened a true acupoint and cultivated to the fourth level of zhenqi. Yet, you want me to scram?
You … "That young man's words were filled with anger, and he actually roared in front of him.
A portion of the men and women of the Great Wilderness also became restless and wanted to join in the commotion.
However, the young man hadn't finished speaking when the crippled old man raised his right hand. That shriveled and withered right claw grabbed the air!
Puchi!
There wasn't a trace of true energy fluctuation, but the airflow between heaven and earth suddenly collapsed inward. A large part of the sky seemed to be easily grabbed by his palm!
"Ah!"
That young man from the Great Wilderness let out a miserable scream. His entire body seemed to be sucked into the crippled old man's palm. He had completely lost any ability to resist, and he was like an ant that was being pinched.
In the next moment …
"Bang!"
The crippled old man's palm clenched together, and a large part of the space seemed to be obliterated. The body of the young man from the Great Wilderness instantly exploded, disintegrated, and evaporated. Soon, it disappeared without a trace. He didn't even have the time to let out a miserable scream before his entire body was completely annihilated.
He was actually casually destroyed by the crippled old man!
This claw was something that none of the young men present would be able to resist. It was simply an almighty ability that could pluck the stars and seize the moon!
"Ah …"
The children of the Great Wilderness standing around the young man's body were so shocked that their faces turned ashen. They quickly retreated, still in a state of shock, and no longer dared to say a word.
The young men from the North, South, East, and West Regions also looked at each other in dismay and kept quiet out of fear.
"This crippled old man is really cruel. One wrong word and he directly grabbed someone to death … Not even his bones were left …" Xiao Han also couldn't help but look at Mo Qingtong, Fatty Zhu, and the others. The subtext was, 'Don't make a ruckus, or else you'll bring about a fatal disaster'.
Mo Qingtong's pretty face was pale with fright; Fatty Zhu was also so scared that he shrank his neck; Shao Yunrong and Huo Yang's hearts were even colder … Someone had died before the competition even started.
It was too terrifying.
"It's just a little aphid, and it can't stop jumping around."
The crippled old man flicked his fingernails, as if he had casually pinched a small fly or mayfly to death, insignificant.
He cleared his throat.
"Everything that your elders told you before, they don't count!
From now on, I have the final say! "
There was dead silence, and no one dared to complain.
The crippled old man opened his mouth.
"If it wasn't for me and my old buddies risking their lives to fight against the Demon Race Great Emperor and annihilate many Demon Emperors, how could you little fellows be where you are today?
You really have no respect for your seniors, no respect for your superiors … "
After saying a lot of things, he was finally satisfied.
After a full two hours, the crippled old man finally stopped talking. He flicked his right index finger slightly, and a piercing sound resounded throughout the Vast Chalk Field. At the same time, there was a rumbling sound, and a huge scroll appeared above the Vast Chalk Field. It was about a hundred feet long and spread out. Countless words appeared on it, as if it contained another world.
The young man on the Vast Chalk Field looked at it and found that the words on the scroll were actually names of places and people … It was densely packed.
"Eh?
My name is on the scroll too. "
Xiao Han saw that on the bottom left of the scroll, there were small words written very clearly … 'Southern Region, Beacon Fire Empire, Pure Cloud Sect, Xiao Han'
Moreover, Xiao Han also saw some names that he was familiar with, such as …
'Southern Region, Beacon Fire Empire, Pure Cloud Sect, Huo Yang'
'Southern Region, Beacon Fire Empire, Mingjian Villa, Shao Yunrong'
'Southern Region, Dark Shadow Empire, Heavenly Demon Sect, Mo Qingtong'
…
"Listen, all the young people who are participating in this year's Devil Hero Trial, your names are on this scroll!
There can't be any omissions!
Now, split a strand of your Origin True Qi and inject it into the scroll. Light up your names on the scroll!
In your Origin True Qi, there are traces of your soul, essence, qi, and spirit. This will be considered as your information left on the scroll. Once you die in the main competition, your name will be dimmed so that the people outside who are paying attention to the trial will know the situation.
Alright, let's light up your names. "
Hearing this, many young people did not dare to be negligent. They each shot a trace of Origin True Qi onto the scroll and accurately poured it into their name.
In an instant, the countless names on the scroll lit up, glistening and lifelike.
"This is interesting …" Xiao Han smiled faintly and casually shot a trace of Origin True Qi to light up his name.
"Alright, that's enough." After all the contestants had lit up their names, the scroll was like an immortal list. True Qi fluctuations rolled around, looking very noble and colorful.
The crippled old man nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. The scroll floated away …
"Alright!
Now, I will announce the rules of the first exam and open the stone door!
Everyone, listen carefully! "The crippled old man announced.
In an instant, all the contestants on the field held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen.
… …
Devil Hero Region.
A glittering notice floated above the Devil Hero Region and expanded in the wind. In an instant, it grew to a length of thousands of feet and a height of hundreds of feet. It was so large that it covered the sky and the sun. Every name on the notice was magnified infinitely.
"Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ ~"
Wu Yu, Xiao Mingchu, Dongfang Qin, Fang Ling, and a group of Devil Heroes had already flown to the Devil Hero Region. When they looked up and saw the list floating in the sky, they all stopped.
"Sect Master, the main competition is about to begin. Junior Brother Xiao Han and Junior Sister Huo Yang have already lit up their names." Xiao Mingchu said excitedly.
"Perhaps the first test has already begun.
I hope Junior Brother Xiao Han and Junior Sister Huo Yang's names will always be so bright and never dim. "
"Well … it has finally begun." Wu Yu put his hands behind his back and his clothes fluttered like an immortal.
"Come, let's enter the Devil Hero Tower. We can watch the competition in more detail."
"Let's go, Brother Wu. Let's enter the Devil Hero Tower together.
I am also very worried about Qingtong at the moment. I am afraid that something will happen to her.
Watching from the Devil Hero Tower, we can even see some details of the competition. It is better than standing here and looking at the list. "The Heaven's Devil Old Man also came over.
"Heaven's Devil Old Man, let's go to the Devil Hero Tower together." Wu Yu smiled and nodded.
At this time, Dongfang Qin and Fang Ling said in unison, "Sect Master, we don't have enough contribution points. We can't enter the Devil Hero Tower to watch the competition at will."
"Sect Master, I don't have much Contribution Points left. I can only stay in the Yaoxia Pagoda for seven days and seven nights. The main competition can't be completed in seven days and seven nights." Xiao Mingchu looked like he was in a dilemma.
"It doesn't matter. We still have some extra contribution points. It is enough for us to stay in the Devil Hero Tower for a year and a half.
Let's go together. "Wu Yu smiled.
In the next moment, they turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Devil Hero Tower.
"Everyone, wait for Fatty … Fatty is also going to watch the competition and cheer for Little Fatty …" Zhu Ganglie caught up from behind.
On the other side.
"Brother Zuo, I don't have enough contribution points. Please lend me some so that I can enter the Yin-Xia Tower and watch every match of the Yin-Xia Trial," Ximen Piaoxue, the owner of the Mingjian Mountain Villa, said to a middle-aged man in red with an apathetic expression.
The middle-aged man in red nodded, "Okay, I can temporarily lend my contribution points to Brother Ximen.
I don't need Brother Ximen to return them. However, the next time we besiege the Demon Emperor, please team up with me.
Let's go ~ ~ ~ "
…
"Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ ~"
Rays of light poured into the Devil Hero Tower like carps crossing the river.
Many Chivalrous Heroes entered the Chivalrous Hero Tower to watch the Chivalrous Hero Trial from all angles.
Known as the cruelest Devil Hero Trial in history, it was indeed a gimmick to attract people's attention.
As for the low-level Devil Heroes who didn't have enough contribution points, they sat in other places of the Devil Hero Region and watched the announcement floating in the sky.
They could also see which names on the announcement had dimmed, so they could understand the general situation of the competition.
… …
Many contestants gathered in the Wide Chalk Field.
The crippled old man said solemnly.
"The first match of this year's Devil Hero Trial will be held on an island!
Now I will announce the rules of the competition … After the stone gate opens, you will follow me through the tunnel, into a port, and then take a boat to the island.
A few days later, a demon will fly over the island. Well, it's a Demon Emperor, but it won't take the initiative to attack you.
What you have to do is to resist the pressure and Demon Aura brought by this Demon Emperor.
Any contestant who panics will be eliminated.
You will be eliminated.
You must talk and laugh without fear under the pressure of the Demon Emperor. This is the most basic condition to become a Devil Hero.
Well … the first round of the exam is very, very simple, right? "
…
"Is that so?
The first round of the exam is to resist the Demon Emperor's Demon Aura. It doesn't sound difficult … "A young man from the Western Region looked relieved.
"When I was in the Western Region, I once saw a Demon Emperor. The Demon Aura was indeed very terrible and could break people's minds. But as long as the Demon Emperor doesn't take the initiative to attack, it's still possible to stay calm."
"The first round of the exam is to adapt to the Demon Aura …" Xiao Han also knew in his heart.
"Logically speaking, it's almost impossible to kill a Demon Emperor with the resources of these contestants.
There's a 100% chance of being killed.
Even when the Demon Emperor deliberately released his aura, it would be difficult for him to remain calm.
However, I have a demon egg in my heart that can greatly dissolve the Demon Aura that invades my body.
This round of exam, at least for me, will be relatively easy. "
"Brother Xiao, this is bad. Fatty has never seen a Demon Emperor before. I don't know if I can withstand that fierce and shocking Demon Aura …" Fatty Zhu's face was filled with fear.
Shao Yunrong also blurted out.
"Xiao Han, Yunrong has only seen the dying Demon Emperor of Beixuan. I have never seen the Demon Emperor at his peak …"
"Don't worry, the examiner said that the Demon Emperor won't take the initiative to attack the contestants. This round of exam will be relatively easy.
I think it's just for us to warm up.
Calm down. "Xiao Han encouraged.
At this moment …
"Crack crack crack ~ ~ ~ Crack crack crack ~ ~ ~ ~"
The heavy and mysterious stone door finally opened slowly!
"The stone door is open!" Immediately, many contestants shouted.
"Don't push, line up and enter the stone door!" The crippled old man shouted.
"Go!
Enter the stone door!
The exam has finally begun! "Xiao Han couldn't hold back his excitement and directly walked towards the stone door.
Mo Qingtong, Shao Yunrong, Huo Fan, and Fatty Zhu followed closely behind.
