Long Xiangtian had been trying to practice the Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Step these days, but there was still no progress. Instead, he ended up looking miserable every time. However, Long Xiangtian was not discouraged. For him, the more difficult the technique was to practice, the more powerful it would be if he succeeded in practicing it.
Although Long Xiangtian has been busy with the "Thousand Miles of Flowing Sand Steps"
Soon the day of the Martial Arts Conference arrived. Full of curiosity and anticipation for the conference, Long Xiangtian came to the venue of the conference. However, before leaving, Yan Qingwu insisted on coming with him. Long Xiangtian couldn't persuade her and had to bring her along.
When Long Xiangtian arrived at the venue, he was surprised by the noisy scene. He did not expect that a martial arts conference would attract so much attention.
The entire venue was like a Colosseum, but much larger in size. It was filled with people who came to watch. Shouts and curses were heard everywhere, and it was as noisy as a market. What made Long Xiangtian even more surprised was that most of these people were ordinary people with no cultivation.
In fact, Long Xiangtian had not expected this. This martial arts conference was not only a place for major families to select talents, but also a place for them to take this opportunity to make money. These ordinary people who came to watch became the key to their economic effects.
Of course, these ordinary people were also very happy to come and watch. After all, seeing those usually high-handed practitioners fighting in front of them also fully satisfied their vanity and sense of superiority.
Long Xiangtian stood on the sidelines, feeling like a commodity or a wild animal, being used and watched by others, which made him very uncomfortable. However, Long Xiangtian did not show any extreme behavior, but just frowned. After all, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. When one's strength is not strong enough, being manipulated by others is something that cannot be resisted.
Of course, this does not mean that Long Xiangtian will surrender just like that. One day he will make those hiding behind the scenes tremble for him.
Soon, a guide came to Long Xiangtian and wanted to take him to the audience. After Long Xiangtian revealed his identity as a contestant, the guide took him to a box in the front row of the audience. After entering the box, Long Xiangtian found a piece of paper with words on the table. Long Xiangtian picked it up curiously and looked at it, and found that it roughly explained the rules of the conference.
In fact, the rules of the conference are quite simple. In short, the contestants are divided into twelve groups, and then they compete against each other to decide the champion of each group. Then these people form the top twelve, and then draw lots to decide the champion step by step. Long Xiangtian also likes this rule. It is simple and direct, without any adulteration, and everything is based on strength.
However, it is worth mentioning that each group can only have one Guanli Realm at most, which is also to avoid the consumption caused by the premature encounter of Guanli Realm. According to previous years, the Guanli Realm of each group is undoubtedly the champion of this group. After all, the gap between Guanli Realm and Qi Refining Realm cannot be made up by anything.
In fact, those families have their own intentions in setting the rules this way. The economic benefits and related development brought to them by the Martial Arts Conference cannot be underestimated by even a few families. Such rules can maximize the excitement and duration of the Martial Arts Conference.
Another thing that Long Xiangtian didn't know was that although these families would not maliciously manipulate the outcome of the game, they would still appropriately modify the strength of the two teams to make the game more exciting and entertaining, and allow their casinos to better obtain the maximum benefits.
However, these rules don't matter to Long Xiangtian. His goal is to get the first place in this martial arts conference, and everything else has nothing to do with him.
In fact, according to reason, the Guanli Realm should not compete with the Qi Refining Realm, but since a Qi Refining Realm person has signed up, the conference has no reason to refuse.
Long Xiangtian looked at his participation certificate. He was in Group 2. It seemed that his ranking in the competition was pretty high, but he didn't know when it would be his turn.
However, Long Xiangtian did not feel any pressure. After all, he was the only player in the Guanli realm in the entire group. In Long Xiangtian's opinion, he was simply bullying others.
However, Long Xiangtian was overthinking it. Those contestants below the Guanli realm had their own reasons for coming to participate in the competition even though they knew it was impossible for them to win. They could not be noticed by any big family, so they could only hope to be invited by some small families.
However, Long Xiangtian, who came to participate in the competition this time, did not intend to deal with these people in the Qi Refining Realm casually. He had his own plans. Although they were a bit immoral, Long Xiangtian could not ask too many questions.
Yan Qingwu looked at the wicked smile on Long Xiangtian's lips and knew that Long Xiangtian must be planning to do something bad again, but she didn't know which unlucky boy would have the misfortune to run into Long Xiangtian this time.
However, Yan Qingwu was a little bored. After all, Long Xiangtian's match had not started yet, and he was not interested in others, so he could only look around. However, Yan Qingwu suddenly saw Tang Yin and the other two and Tang Yu were also there, and happily shouted to Long Xiangtian, "Brother Xiangtian, look down."
Long Xiangtian looked in the direction where Yan Qingwu pointed and was stunned for a moment. After all, Tang Yin and the others were not supposed to come to a competition of this level. He thought about it and thought that they probably wanted to see his performance. However, his performance today might surprise them.
However, seeing Yan Qingwu's excitement, she probably wanted to find Tang Yu. Long Xiangtian also knew that Yan Qingwu probably felt it was too boring to wait here with him.
"I told you not to come, but you refused. Now you regret it."
Yan Qingwu, whose thoughts were seen through, had no choice but to make a face at Long Xiangtian after listening to his lecture.
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing that Long Xiangtian agreed to her idea, Yan Qingwu said, "Brother Xiangtian is so nice," and then she jumped out. But halfway through, Yan Qingwu suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Xiangtian, are you going with me? Aren't you on good terms with Tang Yu's brothers?"
"Forget it, you've already said that we have a very good relationship, so why should we rush to meet? You go first." Long Xiangtian thought about it and rejected Yan Qingwu's suggestion. After all, according to Long Xiangtian's idea, several people would come to find him soon, so why should he be so proactive
