Lingxu Terrace, located ten miles east of Xuanwu County, is a small, abrupt peak in the Guibei Mountain Range.
What is strange is that Lingxu Terrace is the only platform standing here, and eighty miles to the east is the rolling mountain range of Guibei Mountain.
Lingxu Terrace is twelve zhang high and about a hundred zhang in size.
The best scholar in Xuanwu County once wrote: Try to look out from Lingxu Terrace, half a moat of spring water, a city of flowers, and mist and rain darken thousands of houses.
From then on, this twelve-meter-high platform was called Lingxu Terrace.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, people in Xuanwu County were riding unicorns, pulling carts with wild bulls, and walking on foot, shoulder to shoulder, flowing towards Lingxu Terrace like a tide.
Today is the day for the seven major families, four major chambers of commerce, and the best young people from the public to compete. It is a prosperous day for Xuanwu County that has not been seen for a hundred years, and it will determine the future ranking of each family.
This opportunity must not be missed.
"Brother, today is the time for the younger generation of Xuanwu County to compete for supremacy. It is the moment to decide who is the best among the younger generation of Xuanwu County."
"Yes, in the past six months of this year, Ye Xiangyang has risen out of nowhere and become the most famous person in our Xuanwu County. Maybe he will become the number one in Xuanwu County."
"First, it's hard to say. Yun Jianhan from the Yun family, Yue Li from the Yue family, and Zishu Qingyun from the Zishu family are all famous and brilliant family geniuses. It may be difficult to stand out among these people."
The sun had just risen, casting golden rays of light on Lingxu Terrace. The eight-foot-high and twenty-zhang-wide platform on the east side of Lingxu Terrace was filled with men, women, young and old, and the crowds were talking loudly about the results of this competition.
A group of eleven people appeared on the stage, including Yue Li from the Yue family, Li Tianxi from the Li family, Zishu Qingyun from the Zishu family, Pingfengtian from the Ping family, Zhong Chang Yuqing, Lu Xuezhen, Zhu Shi Ruichuan, He Feiyan, and the folk geniuses Gan Yuntian and Wu Xiaofeng.
They arrived at the arena, causing quite a stir below.
These eleven people are all famous young talents in Xuanwu County. Their deeds have been spread in Xuanwu County for a long time. Some of them are deliberately spread by their families to gain reputation for their families. What they did is also shocking.
When people looked at these eleven young heroes, many of them had admiration and respect in their eyes. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, they had reached heights that ordinary people would never reach in their lifetime. How could they not make these martial artists jealous
"See? The big guy in front is Yue Li from the Yue family in Fenghai City. He is born with supernatural powers and is said to be at the peak of the Nine-Star Mystic Master level. He is almost a Mystic Master, but he has an undefeated record against Mystic Masters. The Yue family's Sky-Suppressing Fist and Sky-Suppressing Hammer have both been cultivated to the Unleaked Realm."
"The second one is not simple either. He is the son of the Li family in Zhihai City. He is now at the peak of the ninth star of the Mystic Master level and is just one step away from becoming a Mystic Master. The Li family's Wind Crane Claw and Sky Sword have been cultivated to perfection."
“Hehehe, the most powerful one is Zishu Qingyun from the Zishu family,” the young man, who was about 18 or 19 years old, stared at the stage without blinking. Zishu Qingyun’s handsome face and curvy figure made him unable to move his eyes away. “You should know that Zishu Qingyun is a second-star Xuan Master, a real second-star Xuan Master.”
"I still support Gan Yuntian and Wu Xiaofeng. They have no background and no financial support, but they are able to cultivate to the peak of the Nine Stars. This is rare and precious. They are geniuses from our people. Just think about it and you will know how talented they are."
…
Then two people slowly climbed up to the arena. One was dressed in gray, which was the clothes of a treasure hunter, and the other was dressed in black with a cold face.
Everyone knew that these two people were Ye Xiangyang and Yun Jianhan. Yun Jianhan followed Ye Xiangyang step by step and slowly stepped onto the arena.
People looked at Ye Xiangyang, who was wearing a gray gown and was a little short, with their eyes full of envy and admiration. In just half a year, this kid created a myth that no one in Xuanwu County had ever created before.
With his own strength, he destroyed the second largest force in Zhenhai City, the Black Panther Mystic Group, and the first of the five major families, the Hong Family. There are many different opinions on how he did it. Some say that he had a Mystic General-level monster beast, some say that he had a mysterious master at the Mystic Sect level, and some say that it was all his own achievement...
No matter what, this man has become the most outstanding legend in Xuanwu County this year, overshadowing all the younger generations.
The person following behind him was called Yun Jianhan, the most outstanding person in the Yun family. It was said that he was a martial arts fanatic who was willing to sacrifice his life for martial arts. On his shoulder was the Yun family's ancestral Silver Star Sky Edged Halberd.
These people are the idols of the younger generation in Xuanwu County and are all well-known figures. The competition that can be held today will definitely open everyone's eyes.
At this moment, a person appeared below the ring, his toes touching the ground. His figure was like a large purple bird. He jumped on the thunder and landed lightly on the ring. He stared at Ye Xiangyang and smiled coldly, "Ye Xiangyang, you stepped on the bones of our Hong family to reach the peak. You have a black heart. I will dig it out for you today."
As he said that, he pointed his finger at Ye Xiangyang and said, "You are dead today."
People looked at the man in a crimson robe, and someone shouted in surprise, "Hong Tianze, this man is Hong Tianze."
"The most famous genius of the Hong family, a fifth-grade martial arts talent, I heard that he has been training with the master of the Huoyun Sect recently, so he rushed over."
"He and Ye Xiangyang have a vengeance for the murder of their father and the extermination of their entire family. It seems like there will be a shocking fight between them."
"This matter is definitely more exciting. Hong Tianze and Ye Xiangyang have an irreconcilable hatred, and they will definitely fight to the death."
"Hehehe, did you notice that this challenge was originally aimed at Ye Xiangyang? It seems that Ye Xiangyang is in danger this time."
The seven major families of Xuanwu County, the four major chambers of commerce, and two young heroes from the common people finally came together.
Yue Li's tall figure appeared at the front, and he bowed to everyone in the audience: "Fathers and villagers of Xuanwu County, fellow martial artists who have practiced martial arts, today is the time for our seven major families, four major chambers of commerce, and the young generation of martial artists from the public to compete. Thank you to all the fathers and villagers of Xuanwu County for your support."
Yue Li was very tall, like a bear, but he spoke in an orderly manner. It was obvious that he was a very intelligent person. Maybe he was the one who took the lead in picking the challengers this time.
There was a thunderous applause from the audience. Who wouldn't be looking forward to this match? This was the highest-level competition held in Xuanwu County in all these years.
Yue Li pressed his hands downwards into the air, cupped his hands and said, "Today we have invited the head of the Danding Divine Sect's auction hall and Danding Divine Sect disciple Xiang Yixue to be the first referees of our competition."
Below the stage, the white-haired and white-bearded hall master and Xiang Yixiu, who had a frosty face, stood up and waved to everyone.
Thunderous applause rang out from the audience again. Being able to invite everyone in the auction hall was a feat that surpassed all the previous ones.
"We have also invited Princess Murong, the elders of the six major families, and the elders of the four major chambers of commerce to serve as referees for this competition."
These people also stood up and waved to the audience.
The already excited crowd became even crazier. The top forces in Xuanwu County were all there. You can imagine how intense this competition was.
This is a prosperity that Xuanwu County has not seen in many years.
Princess Murong stood up and bowed to all the audience, "All the elders and fellow villagers of Xuanwu County, all the martial arts practitioners, today's competition can be said to be a high-level competition in our Xuanwu County. I have made a special decision here. The first place in today's competition will be the candidate sent by our Xuanwu County to participate in the national competition in Jiuzhou Empire, and will be exempted from the Xuanwu County assessment."
This piece of news could not be announced, and the entire venue was swept by a wave of enthusiasm, with thunderous applause. No one had expected that there would be such a benefit.
"My lord, you are wise. Today's game will be even more interesting."
"Yes, this is a great opportunity."
People from the seven major families and four major chambers of commerce were all very excited. Whoever could stand out here would be the first to get a spot. It was easy to imagine how rare this was.
Xuanwu County will send no more than five people to the capital to participate in the national competition.
Even the people on the competition field were excited. They didn't expect the princess to increase the stakes like this. They were originally planning to teach Ye Xiangyang a lesson, but who would have thought that this situation would occur in this match.
Unexpected, really unexpected.
All the contestants had gleams of light in their eyes and faces.
All contestants took out their weapons and stood on the stage.
The auction hall master stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I declare this competition to be a free-for-all contest. Whoever remains on the fighting stage at the end will be the winner of this competition."
The audience was shocked. Who could have imagined that this competition would take such a form? It was something they had never seen or heard of before.
On the stage, everyone released their own mysterious power.
The mysterious force caused the wind to whistle.
All the contestants on the stage raised their mystical powers to the highest level, forming fourteen whistling whirlwinds.
The audience below the stage was even more surprised. They looked at the performance of everyone on the stage and couldn't believe it.
"Master Xuan, there are so many Master Xuan, how is this possible?"
"When did Master Xuan become so worthless?"
On the stage, Yue Li from the Yue family, Ye Xiangyang from the Ye family, Yun Jianhan from the Yun family, Li Tianxi from the Li family, and Gan Yuntian are all one-star Xuan Masters; Zishu Qingyun from the Zishu family is actually a two-star Xuan Master, and the most incredible thing is that the genius Hong Tianze from the Hong family is actually a three-star Xuan Master.
The younger generation is already the top combat force in Xuanwu County, surpassing all previous years of participating in the competition.
You know, the highest combat power of many families is the one-star or two-star Xuanshi level. These young people have reached that level now. How long have they been practicing
How is this possible
ps: Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, a day to remember the great poet Qu Yuan. Thousands of years ago, Qu Yuan, who was concerned about his country and people, jumped into the Miluo River with a heart full of grief, tears and a red heart, unable to serve his country. He left behind a patriotic myth and the epoch-making work Li Sao for future generations.
The Dragon Boat Festival is here, happy festival, I wish all my brothers a happy festival. I wish our country will be prosperous and developed.
