Before Chen Lingkong's voice could finish, Chen Xi stood up.
He could clearly feel that there was surprise, disdain, ridicule, teasing, and suspicion in the eyes looking at him...
But none of this could shake Chen Xi's heart. He looked calm and unfazed. He bowed his hands to his two senior brothers, Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian, then stepped on the void and walked towards the altar under the distant sky. .
Dressed in hunting clothes, Chen Xi walked forward alone. As he moved, the eyes of the audience also moved, as if everyone wanted to take a look. What kind of person is this Chen Xi, and who gave him such boldness? , How dare you get involved in this succession competition.
To Chen Xi, all of this seemed to not exist. At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the ancient altar and the upcoming battle!
He has been waiting for today for too long, and he has put in a lot of hard work and blood and sweat for this, so this time, he will never allow himself to fail.
Because only by success can he save his parents under the spotlight of everyone, in this Chen family that is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!
So, this battle…
Must win!
"That guy is Chen Xi? He doesn't look very powerful."
"Hmph, a little bastard from the Ancient God Realm is trying to get his hands on the heir spot of our Chen family. He is simply desperate!"
"I'm very curious, why did the Supreme Elder allow an outsider to participate? Is it just because he is a descendant of the sinner Chen Lingjun? But there is no trace of our Chen family's blood in him!"
"Haha, there is no need to wonder. No matter how unworthy this guy is, he is the descendant of Shenyan Mountain after all. If we don't give him face, we will eventually give Shenyan Mountain some face."
"I think he is humiliating himself!"
"I'm very curious about how powerful his fighting power is. After all, a few days ago, this guy relied on the power of a four-star domain master to defeat Chen Ziyu, who had the power of a five-star domain master. This is very unusual."
"That's interesting, isn't it? If he is too weak, even if you defeat him, there will be no sense of achievement. Instead, it will appear that our Chen clan is too bullying."
As Chen Xi's figure approached the ancient altar, there were waves of discussion in the venue.
Most of those voices had clear attitudes, and they were sarcastic and extremely repulsive towards Chen Xi, as if they were watching a clown seeking his own death.
There was also a small group of people who showed curiosity. In their opinion, if Chen Xi could defeat Chen Ziyu, his fighting power would definitely not be weak.
However, what they were curious about was just how long Chen Xi could persist in this succession competition until he was defeated.
As for whether Chen Xi can win, they are too lazy to think about it, because in their opinion, since there are three overlord-level figures, Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun, in this heir competition, Chen Xi has absolutely no hope of winning.
In short, everyone has a suspicious, repulsive, and disdainful attitude toward Chen Xi's participation in the competition for the successor. Even if they are curious, they are just curious about why Chen Xi has to overestimate his own capabilities. Comes from seeking humiliation.
This is the attitude of all Chen clan members present, with a clear-cut stance. To them, although Chen Xi was born in Shenyan Mountain, he is still an outsider after all!
An outsider dares to worry about their clan heir. Isn't this looking for death
For those guests who were watching the ceremony, they were also very suspicious as to why Chen Lingkong would allow an outsider to participate in such a solemn matter.
Could it be that he had to do this because of the power of Shenyan Mountain
Or is it because of the father-son relationship between Chen Xi and Chen Lingjun, who is now imprisoned? All of this seems very abnormal and intriguing.
However, the more this happened, the more curious they became about what all this fuss was about.
Soon, Chen Xi came to the ancient altar and stood casually beside the fifteen Chen clan members who were about to participate in the competition for the successor.
This scene is very interesting. He is standing there alone, and next to him is a group of Chen clan members. They are clearly separated and seem not to interfere with each other, but in fact they are already facing each other, and they are incompatible with each other.
Chen Lingkong, who was standing in the center of the altar, seemed not to have seen this scene. When Chen Xi arrived, he directly announced the rules of the clan heir competition in a deep voice.
"This election will be divided into two rounds."
"In the first round, we will be divided into four groups. I will choose one person from each group to go on the ring and accept the challenge of the other three people in the same group. Whoever can persist in the ring to the end can enter the second round. In duel."
Speaking of this, Chen Lingkong waved his sleeves.
boom! boom! boom! boom!
With four deafening sounds in succession, four arenas rose up on the ancient altar with a radius of one hundred thousand feet.
Each arena is polished by strange secret stones of chaos, covered with dense and obscure textures, releasing a terrifying fighting spirit that disturbs the world.
It is conceivable that if you fight in it, you can ensure that the aftermath of the battle will not spread to the outside world, and at the same time, it will not be interfered by external forces.
At this time, when they heard the rules announced by Chen Lingkong and saw the four arenas, the whole audience couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
"Choose four people and accept the challenge from others. Isn't this tantamount to a wheel-and-wheel battle? It seems a bit unfair, right?"
"No, strictly speaking, this is 'winning the ring'! Whoever can hold on in the ring until the end will be the final winner!"
"Four arenas means that in this first round of competition, four winners will eventually be born."
"But this rule... is indeed very unfair. The first one to step onto the ring will suffer the most, and the last one to step onto the ring will undoubtedly have the most advantage."
There was a lot of discussion, and even many members of the Chen clan did not expect that such unique rules would be adopted in the competition for successors this time.
"This Chen Lingkong's methods are ruthless. If he sends his junior brother to the ring first, he will have to defeat three people one after another before he can win the first round and enter the second round of competition."
Tang Xian frowned, his voice a little cold.
"What he did was just to use all possible means to completely kick the junior fellow apprentice out of the game. Although the means are despicable, they are normal."
Wu Xuechan said calmly.
"It's not just despicable, it's simply shameless."
Tang Xian said coldly.
Wu Xuechan smiled and said no more. There was actually a trace of sullenness in his heart, but he knew very well that getting angry at this time would be useless.
For the current plan, we can only place our hope on Chen Xi's own performance.
"quiet!"
Listening to the buzzing discussion in the audience, Chen Lingkong couldn't help but frown, and shouted in a deep voice. The sound shook the world like thunder, and instantly silenced the entire audience.
"If you want to become the leader of our Chen clan, if you don't have the unparalleled power to defeat many and defeat thousands of armies, how can you convince the crowd? How can you lead the entire Chen clan?"
Chen Lingkong scolded in a deep voice, with great justice, "If you can't even withstand this test, how can you shoulder the burden of the rise of the entire clan in the future?"
These stern words made many members of the Chen clan feel secretly ashamed. Yes, how could it be so easy to become the leader of the Chen clan
Only Chen Xi sneered in his heart. He had a strong hunch that Chen Lingkong sounded nice, but in fact, this election rule must be aimed at him!
Sure enough, everything that happened next confirmed Chen Xi's thoughts.
Chen Lingkong directly divided Chen Xi and the sixteen people participating in the election into four groups without using any fair method.
In the group that Chen Xi belongs to, there is no one among Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun.
This made many Chen clan members present quite confused and even dissatisfied. They thought that Chen Lingkong was taking care of Chen Xi and could not bear for him to encounter any of Chen Daoyuan and the other three in this first round of duel. It's such an ugly defeat.
Only Chen Xi knew that this was not care at all, there must be something mysterious in it!
If you look carefully at the grouping this time, you will find that Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun are not in the same group.
In other words, Chen Xi, Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun were placed in different groups.
"Now, Chen Zhongze from the first group, Chen Wenwu from the second group, Chen Jing from the third group, and Chen Xi from the fourth group come out!"
Chen Lingkong said solemnly, "The four of you will be the first to go to the ring and accept the challenge from the other three people in your group. The loser will be eliminated directly. The winner can stay in the ring and continue to accept challenges from others until everyone in each group After everyone steps onto the stage to challenge, the first round of the campaign will be over!”
really!
Chen Xi sneered in his heart, he knew that he would definitely be chosen first.
At this moment, not only Chen Xi, but everyone in the audience saw this, especially the Chen clan members. They couldn't help but laugh, laughing in a joking manner, as if they were watching a joke.
Tang Xian and Wu Xuechan looked at each other in silence. No one knew what they were thinking about at this moment.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The three Chen clan members named by Chen Lingkong took the lead in rushing to different arenas and boarded them.
Seeing this, Chen Xi no longer hesitated. Even though he despised Chen Lingkong's despicable tactics, he still had to choose to deal with it head-on.
Uh-huh!
With a flash of figure, Chen Xi also arrived at the fourth altar.
Standing among them, he glanced around and immediately saw that Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun in the distance were all looking towards him.
The three of them didn't seem to intend to challenge their opponents in the ring at this moment. They looked calm and leisurely.
Seeing this, Chen Xi's heart sank, and he immediately guessed a possibility. Could it be that Chen Lingkong wanted to take this opportunity to let Chen Daoyuan and the others observe his battle to find out his true identity
