The Hidden Dragon Ranking Tournament is absolutely fair. After two rounds of elimination battles, there will definitely be experts fighting each other. One of the experts will be eliminated. Hence, after the two rounds of elimination battles, there will be a revival process. The Supreme Elders will choose a few experts from the previous battles to participate in the next round. Once there are thirty-two spots, the elimination battles will continue. After two more rounds, the top eight will be decided. "
"There are a total of four rounds of elimination battles, and eight truly powerful martial geniuses have been decided. With this strict competition system and revival process, normal young geniuses would be able to make it into the top eight as long as they are powerful enough. The biggest highlight of the Hidden Dragon Rank battles is actually the battles of the top eight."
"The first round is the battle of the War Hounds Realm. The second round is the four rounds of elimination battles. The third round is the point battle for the top eight. That is to say, as long as you enter the top eight, you will fight against the other seven. Everyone will start with five points. If you lose a battle, you will lose one point. If you win a battle, you will get one point. If it is a draw, the points will not change. The point battle will be held every day. After seven days, the cultivator with the highest points will be the champion.
"It is really complicated."
Long Chen blushed with shame. However, he understood, especially the point battle at the end. This was a direct way to see the most accurate ranking. If it was just the elimination battles, it would be more difficult to see the ranking. The most important thing was that as long as you entered the top eight, you would have to fight against all the opponents. Long Chen pondered for a while. These opponents should include Lu Junyue, Feng Zhilin, Ji Liuhua, Xue Zi, and even Yan Qingchen.
Everyone fighting against each other, that would be really exciting.
If one could obtain seven consecutive victories, it would definitely startle the Martial God Palace.
In fact, Long Chen knew that the Martial God Palace definitely knew his name by now. There was no reason for them not to know what he had done in the Demonic Shadow World.
They had not made any moves. They were probably just admiring him and allowing him to perform.
"Ai, that battle for points is incomparably cruel. There is only one battle every day, and the interval between each battle is too short. Those who can enter the top eight are all geniuses. Hence, in the past tens of thousands of years, the number of cultivators who managed to obtain seven consecutive championships in the Hidden Dragon Ranking can be counted on one hand. These few people all entered the Martial God Palace and had outstanding achievements in the future," Shentu Hong said with envy.
Seven consecutive victories, what kind of glory was that?
"Palace Master, if you can achieve seven consecutive victories, you will definitely enter the Martial God Palace."
"Is that so …" Long Chen smiled. If it was before the Minor Three Tribulations, he wouldn't have been able to reach this level. But now, everyone could only wait and see.
Passing the three minor tribulations perfectly would be the time for Long Chen to truly soar.
In the three thousand palaces, the undercurrents were surging. Countless prideful disciples wanted to show off on this platform. Among them, the ones who had put in the most effort were Lu Junyue and Feng Zhilin. To them, the Hidden Dragon Rank battle was a great opportunity to teach Long Chen a harsh lesson, and make Long Chen suffer for the rest of his life.
Lu Junyue would always remember the enmity of the Extreme Purple Heavenly Fire Formation.
However, to Long Chen, Jiang Cha's revenge was not something that a hundred days of the Violet Heavenly Fire Formation could make up for. He had promised Qin Feng that when he met Lu Junyue, he would make Lu Junyue disappear. No matter how powerful the Punishment Hall and the Heavenly God Hall were, especially the Punishment Hall, there was no longer anything that could make him respect Long Chen anymore.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Hidden Dragon Rank battle arrived.
On the day before the Hidden Dragon Rank battle officially started, every hall master brought their participating disciples to the Hidden Dragon Platform. The three thousand palaces were divided according to the level of their disciples. Generally speaking, only those at the sixth level of the Divine Martial realm and above, as well as those at the fifth level of the Divine Martial realm who had passed the ninth heaven lightning tribulation, were qualified to participate. Therefore, some of the three thousand palaces were not qualified to participate. In the Evil Dragon Palace that Long Chen was in, only he, Ye Zheng, and Wu Yang were qualified to participate.
The others, including Wu Yue, were not qualified to participate.
Apart from the hall masters, the three vice hall masters were also allowed to participate. Just like that, there were about fifty thousand people gathered on the Hidden Dragon Platform. They were all the elites of the three thousand palaces.
The Hidden Dragon Rank battle was actually a place for the super palaces to compete. Small palaces like the Evil Dragon Palace had only come to join in the fun in the past. Even the place where they were stationed was at the periphery of the Hidden Dragon Platform. They could only lead the participating disciples to the center of the platform tomorrow.
The center of the Crouching Dragon Platform was occupied by the Deity of Heaven Hall, Snow Lotus Hall, Dark Nether Hall, Crimson Firmament Hall, Crazed Demon Hall, and so on. Each of the halls had over a thousand people present, and they were comparable to the halls of Emperor Dong's Palace.
The disciples of the super palaces were usually very arrogant and overbearing. Lu Junyue was a representative of this. They looked down on the disciples and hall masters of the smaller palaces. In their opinion, any one of them could become a hall master of the other palaces.
The gathering of the three thousand palaces at the Hidden Dragon Platform was about to start. This was the time for countless people to prove themselves and gain a bright future. The Hidden Dragon Platform was filled with people.
On this day, Long Chen also came to the Hidden Dragon Platform with about ten people from the Evil Dragon Palace. However, because the rank of the Evil Dragon Palace was relatively low, they did not have the qualifications to approach the center of the platform. They could only approach when the battle started.
"That's too much."
Wu Yang was somewhat indignant.
Long Chen did not mind. He had seen this kind of thing before. Those big palaces liked to put on airs and show off their differences. If a small palace like the Evil Dragon Palace did not have Long Chen, they would be humiliated if they came to the Hidden Dragon Rank battle.
After arriving, Long Chen waited patiently.
At the same time, on the Hidden Dragon Platform, Feng Zhilin, Lu Junyue, and the others were extremely restless. They all looked in Long Chen's direction.
Night fell, and the next day was about to come. The crowd followed Long Chen and stood quietly at their positions. The Punishment Hall did not even prepare a seat for them. They only stuck a sign on the ground to show that this was their place.
As Long Chen was waiting for the time to pass, a quarrel came from the front. A group of people were being chased in Long Chen's direction. Long Chen was rather familiar with this group. They were once Shentu Hong's good friends, but in the end, they joined Feng Zhilin's side. When Long Chen rose, they once again tried to curry favor with Shentu Hong.
"Black Smoke Palace's dog, stop running. How dare you disturb my mood. Kneel down!"
The one chasing him was a young man with a strong cultivation. He had just reached the seventh level of the Divine Martial realm, and his face was full of arrogance. Behind him were a few disciples who were slightly weaker than him. Looking at their clothes, they should be from the same palace, and should be from a powerful palace.
"Black Smoke Palace, if you dare leave today, the Nether Wolf Palace will come to you after the Hidden Dragon Ranking battles are over and beat you all to a pulp."
This threat made the cultivators from the Black Smoke Palace stop with bitter expressions. The leader was the leader of the Black Smoke Palace, one of Shentu Hong's "good friends". He hurriedly turned around and led the people from the Black Smoke Palace to kneel, saying, "Master Chen, we will kneel to you now. Please spare us, we did not mean to disturb you."
The young man surnamed Chen rushed over, not caring about their begging. He ruthlessly kicked them until they screamed in pain. Only then did he vent his anger. As he kicked them, he shouted, "I told you to stop, but you still ran. You're just a trash hall like an ant, and you dare to run away in front of me? If this gets out, how will I, Chen Yong, show my face?"
The disciples behind him also started fighting. It was not that the people from the Black Smoke Palace were weak, but that they did not dare to resist. All of them were beaten black and blue.
All of this happened in front of Long Chen.
Shentu Hong wanted to say something but stopped. They were good friends, but Shentu Hong did not save them. Time revealed a man's heart. The Black Smoke Palace was no longer a brother of the Evil Dragon Palace.
That arrogant young man from the Nether Wolf Palace finally saw Long Chen's group at the side after beating them to their heart's content. He paused for a moment, then smiled evilly, "What are you looking at? Do you want to get beaten up too?"
Ye Zheng and the others looked at each other and did not speak. Shentu Hong wanted to smile and tell the young man that they would leave immediately, but he suddenly remembered Long Chen and held back.
Long Chen was in charge here.
Seeing that they did not respond, Chen Chong laughed and scolded, "Motherf * cker, your palace leaders are only at the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm. There must be something wrong with your brains. You are not even as good as dog sh * t, and you came to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking battles. There must be something wrong with your brains. Brothers, beat them up. As long as no one dies, I will take care of it for you. I have people in the Punishment Palace."
The crowd roared with laughter as they charged towards Long Chen.
Long Chen was helpless, but this was normal for the three thousand palaces. Small palaces like them did not have many rights.
A few breaths later, the youths from the Nether Wolf Hall were all lying on the ground, covered in blood and twitching. Long Chen stomped on Chen Chong's face with his foot, almost flattening his head into the ground.
Long Chen only needed to wave his hand to finish them off.
"Do you know who I am?" Long Chen squatted down and looked at the frightened Chen Chong calmly.
"Wuu …" Chen Chong could not speak. He moved his bloody body back.
"I am Long Chen. This is the Evil Dragon Palace. We welcome your Nether Wolf Palace to take revenge."
Long Chen stood up and sent Chen Chong flying with a kick. Although Long Chen did not do much, their injuries would make them bedridden for half a month.
After finishing them off, Long Chen squinted his eyes. When he raised his head, the sky was filled with warriors in black clothes. Their eyes were as cold as Li Cang's. The leader was a guy with an aura no weaker than Han Yunxing and the others.
"You are Long Chen. Where is Li Cang? You killed him, right?" The leader said.
Long Chen understood. It was the Mad Demon Palace Leader.
