Everyone went up to the high platform marked with the Tianjian Sect brand and sat down. This time, the Tianjian Sect not only came with Jiang Kong and others, but also a dozen ordinary inner sect elders, totaling more than thirty people.
At this time, people from the other seven sects had all arrived, and everyone was observing each other to see if there were any familiar opponents.
Only Jiang Kong, as soon as he came on stage, sat in his position with his eyes closed and meditated, showing no interest at all in these so-called opponents.
Even Jiang Yuanba and the others only focused on joking among themselves, not looking around with hostile eyes like the contestants from other sects.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...!"
Leisurely time!
Figures flashed across the chairman's stage, and super masters appeared on the stage one after another. There were eighteen people in total, all of whom were god-level experts.
It was Zhang Yunxiao who came from the Tianjian Sect. He had not been seen for more than half a month. He had already broken through the first level and reached the sixth level of Martial God. In front of him was a strong man of the seventh level of Martial God.
From the mouth of Elder Dong Changshan, I learned that this person is also a veteran of Tianjian Sect, ranking higher than Zhang Yuanxiao. He is the second in the original Tianjian Sect’s true martial arts list, and Wu Fan’s master is Wu Shenlang Qianli.
The other sixteen are also veterans of the Martial God. The lowest level is Martial God Level 5, and two of them have reached the Martial God Level 8 level.
But Jiang Kong was not interested in those people, so he didn't ask.
As the eighteen martial arts masters sat down, a middle-aged man descended from the sky again. He was also in the realm of martial arts, but he was only at the third level of martial arts.
He stood at the front of the podium, waved his hand and said: "Quiet!"
A deafening and majestic sound echoed throughout the square. After this majestic sound, the entire square immediately became quiet.
The middle-aged man nodded, very satisfied with everyone's performance.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Yuan Tiangang, the current sect leader of Yuan Wuzong, and I am also the host of this Tianling Zhenwu Ranking Competition. Everyone is welcome to come and watch the battle despite your busy schedule..."
Next, it was time for Yuan Tiangang to talk. Jiang Kong didn't bother to listen and simply continued to close his eyes and rest.
Yuan Tiangang spoke on stage for half an hour before he started talking about the main topic.
This competition lasts for two days in total. The top ten will be decided on the first day, and the qualifying competition will be held on the second day.
All battles are held in the arena. At this time, eight arenas have been set up in the square. Each arena has a powerful defensive formation to prevent the aftermath of the battle from overflowing and causing unnecessary casualties.
There are no rules in all battles, until one party is knocked off the ring or directly admits defeat. You cannot intentionally harm the lives of others during the game, otherwise you will be held responsible for disqualification.
Finally, there is the reward. Due to the threat of demons, in order to encourage these young geniuses, this reward is the most generous in the past few thousand years.
The top ten all have very attractive prizes, and the tenth place will be rewarded with twenty top-grade Yuan Stones, a low-grade artifact, the Holy Land of Tianling Continent, and the qualification to practice for ten days in the Zhenwu Secret Realm.
The ninth place reward is thirty top-grade Yuan Stones, a low-grade artifact, and the qualification to practice in the Zhenwu Secret Realm for twenty days.
The eighth place reward is forty top-grade Yuan stones, a low-grade artifact, and the qualification to practice in the Zhenwu Secret Realm for thirty days.
…
Until the third place, the rewards are even more generous, with a direct reward of two hundred top-grade Yuan Stones, a mid-grade artifact, a god-level mid-grade martial skill, and the qualification to practice in the True Martial Secret Realm for one hundred days.
The second place doubled again based on the third place.
When he said this, Yuan Tiangang paused deliberately to arouse everyone's interest, and finally announced.
The first place will be rewarded with one thousand top-quality Yuan Stones, a top-grade artifact, two top-grade god-level martial arts, one year of qualification to practice in the Zhenwu Secret Realm, and a top-grade god-level Yuan-breaking Pill.
The rewards this time are indeed generous. In terms of top-grade Yuan Stone alone, the first place will be twenty times higher than last time, not to mention other rewards.
Especially the Po Yuan Dan, which is said to have been refined by a god-level alchemy master millions of years ago. The God of War can increase his level by taking one pill.
It was obtained by an elder of Yuan Wuzong in an ancient secret realm, but it was only a few grains. Unexpectedly, Yuan Wuzong was willing to give it out as a reward this time.
Hearing this, all the geniuses on the field gradually became excited. With such a huge and generous reward, it is no wonder that these geniuses are so excited.
The next step is to announce the rules.
First of all, on the first day, all the geniuses participating in the competition will draw lots to determine their opponents and have a one-on-one battle. The winner can continue to fight, and the loser will be eliminated until ten people are left.
In the first round, disciples from the same sect will not be drawn to fight, and subsequent battles will be concentrated and randomly drawn.
And the ten strongest people who can reach the end of the first day of battle will receive generous rewards.
The rules of the competition were announced, and then the competition began. With Yuan Tiangang's order, the competition for this year's Tianling Continent True Martial Ranking officially began.
The disciples of each sect in the competition have already reported their results and are now waiting to draw lots.
Afterwards, many geniuses from various sects also stepped forward to draw the order of battle, and Jiang Kong also drew a talisman.
Jiang Kong held the talisman in his hand and looked at the number sixty-seven inside the talisman.
The one who drew was sixty-seven, and the one who was about to fight Jiang Kong was the genius who drew sixty-eight.
"I wonder who will fight me first?" Jiang Kong looked around and finally locked on a Five Elements Sect disciple.
The Five Elements Sect disciple was also staring at Jian Wushuang at the moment.
"It's him."
Jiang Kong nodded secretly, this boy was definitely not his enemy.
However, this kid didn't seem to know Jiang Kong. He walked up to Jiang Kong with a smile and said, "It seems that I am quite lucky. In this first duel, I actually encountered a scumbag."
From the outside, Jiang Kong doesn't even look like a martial saint, so people who don't know him will certainly look down upon him.
Then he smiled coldly, with a condescending attitude, and snorted: "Boy, compared to me, you are still far behind, so in the ring battle later, you can just admit defeat to save wasting time."
"You want me to admit defeat directly?" Jiang Kong also had a playful smile on his face and said, "Don't you know me?"
"Hmph, you are quite funny. Why should I get to know you? If I give you a chance now and you don't want to, then fine, in the ring battle later, I will make it impossible for you to admit defeat even if you want to."
The man snorted coldly and left directly. From beginning to end, he didn't take Jiang Kong seriously.
Seeing this, Murong Yuehua, who was next to him, stepped forward and chuckled, "Why, are you being despised?"
"Haha, he's a clown, I'll let him know how awesome I am later!"
Soon, the battle really began.
The fighting arena is a thousand-meter-wide square, enough for two geniuses to fight at will.
The first arena battle also started directly.
The two geniuses who took action at the beginning fully showed their strength. Because the two were close in strength, the battle lasted for a long time before it ended.
The winner can continue to participate in the next arena battle, and the loser will be eliminated naturally.
As time passed, pairs of geniuses fought fiercely on the battlefield, perfectly demonstrating their strength.
Prior to this, Murong Yue Xinhe, Li Wenbo, He Huan, and Panshan had already appeared one after another.
Of course, they all hid their strength, and after fierce fighting, they won their first victory with difficulty.
"boom!"
A violent roar suddenly sounded in the center of the battlefield. Many spectators outside the battlefield, including the strong men of the sects on various high platforms and in the rostrum, all cast their eyes towards the two figures in the battlefield.
Among the two people who were fighting fiercely, one of them was Zhou Hua, who was ranked fourth on the Yuanwuzong Zhenwu Ranking. He was an extremely promising genius, and his strength was enough to rank in the top twenty on the previous Tianling Continent Zhenwu Ranking.
During the drawing of lots before, many strong men were secretly praying that they would not encounter Zhou Hua.
But now, this extremely promising genius was lying on the ground in an extremely embarrassed state, with blood spurting from his mouth. He struggled hard, but could not stand up at all.
Lost! Zhou Hua lost! Not only did they fail, but they failed miserably.
Because it was Shangguan Changwei who was fighting fiercely with Zhou Hua this time. Shangguan Changwei had a hint of coldness, his eyes seemed to have no emotion at all, and the aura on his body was also particularly powerful.
Just now, Shangguan Changwei hit three palms in succession, the third level of the Martial God. Although he hid his true strength, with that power and the power of Shuiyue Palm, Zhou Hua was defeated without any resistance.
There is almost no room for struggle and resistance, and the gap in strength is really too big.
"The name Shangguan Changwei resounded throughout the audience instantly!"
Everyone's eyes on the field were focused on Shangguan Changwei.
No one knew him before, but now, at the beginning of the game, he directly defeated Zhou Hua, who was qualified to reach the top 20 in the overall rankings, with thunderous momentum.
Moreover, many powerful masters have already seen that this is a god-level strongman, and his realm is not low. His strength is instantly recognized.
“This boy is not simple, he definitely has the strength to compete in the top ten!” Many powerful people on the stage were secretly worried about the arrival of contestants from their sects.
On the other seven high platforms, many geniuses were staring at Shangguan Changwei who came out of the battlefield, all of them with extremely solemn expressions.
"Shangguan Changwei? Not bad, but still not enough!"
On the high platform of Yuan Wuzong, a young man with a stern face looked at Shangguan Changwei calmly.
The Killing God Master on one side clenched his hands tightly, with fighting intent rising in his eyes.
"Shangguan Changwei, haha, interesting, very interesting."
On the high platform of the Crazy Blade Sect, a slovenly and wild young man looked up and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Very strong, and it looks like he's not giving his best."
A scar-faced young man in the direction of the God of War Sect also raised his head, stared at Shangguan Changwei, and muttered secretly, "Facing him, I must go all out to have a chance to fight him."
"You can defeat your opponent with three moves. You are really strong." Zhang Tianshuai, who ranked first in the Shen Destroying Sect's true martial arts rankings, also stared at Shangguan Changwei with a hint of fiery eyes.
