"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
If they had the same talent and potential as Yang Qi, it would be impossible for them to make such great progress in such a short period of time if they only practiced hard at the Yuansheng Sect headquarters.
Therefore, although Wang He and others were surprised that Yang Qi could achieve such a huge improvement in such a short time, they were more impressed.
It had been thousands of years since the last demon-killing mission, and since the Sword Palace Arena Points Tournament was about to begin, everyone had a great time chatting with each other. Yang Qi introduced to Emperor Lei Zhongda and others what he had seen and heard in the endless universe over the years, while Emperor Lei Zhongda and others introduced to Yang Qi the more amazing practitioners in this Sword Palace Arena Points Tournament.
After all, these practitioners will most likely go to the original secret realm with Yang Qi in the future, so they can learn some information in advance, and they will be able to cooperate better after entering the original secret realm in the future.
After the introduction of Emperor Lei Zhong and others, Yang Qi also learned that three of the more amazing practitioners in the Sword Palace this time were sword cultivators. Yang Qi was not surprised by the performance of the sword cultivators. After all, Yang Qi had seen sword cultivators and knife cultivators when he was traveling in the endless universe, so he naturally knew the terrifying nature of sword cultivators.
The Sword Palace is a gathering place for sword cultivators. In this kind of arena points battle where strength is obviously tested, sword cultivators who take sword as their way and pursue the ultimate swordsmanship tend to have more advantages.
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Lei Zhong in front of him, with a look of disbelief on his face, "The number of cultivators from the Monster Clan actually only accounts for a little over 20% of the number of cultivators participating in the preliminary round?"
He was not surprised by the situation of the sword cultivators, but the situation of the monster clan was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations, because according to his previous expectations, there should be quite a few monster clan cultivators in the Sword Palace.
“There are indeed quite a few cultivators from the Monster Clan in the Sword Palace.” Emperor Lei Zhong glanced at Yang Qi and continued, “However, the bloodline of the Monster Clan does not naturally excel in swordsmanship. In the way of swordsmanship, humans often have an advantage, so there are not many cultivators from the Monster Clan who pass the preliminary selection in the Sword Palace.”
I see!
After hearing Emperor Lei Zhong's explanation, Yang Qi immediately understood that although the practitioners of the Monster Clan could also join the Sword Palace, the Monster Clan itself did not rely too strongly on Taoist soldiers. Naturally, it would be difficult for them to produce strong sword masters.
In addition, the number of practitioners in the Sword Palace is huge. After a screening, the practitioners who can participate in the preliminary round of the arena points battle will naturally be mainly human practitioners.
"Not only that, the cultivators who finally get the quota in the Sword Palace are often not from the monster race." Wang He paused for a moment and continued, "The reason why the competition for the quota in the Sword Palace is so fierce is that the cultivators who participate in the competition are all the best among their peers, and the difference in strength is relatively small. It is a fierce competition within the human race."
Hearing this, Yang Qi nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. However, after hearing the explanations of Emperor Lei Zhong and others, Yang Qi became more and more looking forward to the Sword Palace Arena Points Competition. After all, he himself also practices the Way of the Sword, and his attainments in the Way of the Sword are not low.
When he met Saint Lord Taixu before, Yang Qi had shown his understanding of Sword Emperor Wu's swordsmanship, but unfortunately, it was still a little short of Saint Lord Taixu's requirements.
Although he has not yet met the requirements of Saint Lord Taixu, Saint Lord Taixu also told Yang Qi that he would start contacting Saint Lord Qingming to help him obtain the part of Sword Emperor Wu's sword inheritance in Saint Lord Qingming's hands.
Obviously, although Yang Qi's understanding of the swordsmanship of the Sword Emperor has not yet reached the requirements of the Grand Master, the Grand Master is very optimistic about Yang Qi and believes that Yang Qi can meet his requirements. Otherwise, he would not have contacted the Grand Master Qingming to inquire about obtaining the Sword Emperor's inheritance before Yang Qi met his requirements.
Yang Qi's comprehension of the sword has been recognized by the Holy Lord Taixu, so it naturally cannot be too bad. Precisely because of this, he is also very curious about the level of comprehension of the sword by his peers in the Sword Palace.
In the following time, Yang Qi chatted with Emperor Lei Zhong and others while waiting for the start of the Sword Palace Arena Points Battle. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the Sword Palace Arena Points Battle finally arrived.
In the square, looking at the endless crowd, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "So many practitioners?"
Although Yang Qi had seen millions of practitioners gathered together in the dispute over the quota between the Soul Hall and the Five Elements Hall before, the number of practitioners gathered in the square inside the Sword Palace headquarters now far exceeded the number of practitioners he had seen in the dispute over the quota between the Soul Hall and the Five Elements Hall before.
Yang Qi made a preliminary estimate and then said with a sigh, "There are at least tens of millions of practitioners, two or three times as many as the Soul Palace and the Five Elements Palace!"
"Of course, the Sword Palace and the Knife Palace are the forces with the largest number of people among the twelve major forces of the Source Saint Church." Emperor Lei Zhong laughed softly and continued, "This is when most of the practitioners below the Martial Emperor level don't know about the original secret realm. Otherwise, the number of practitioners below the Martial Emperor level who came to watch the battle would be many times more."
After hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but nodded. At this moment, the vast majority of the practitioners gathered in the square were at the Martial Emperor level, and the number of practitioners below the Martial Emperor level was less than 1%.
The cultivation world has always presented a pyramid structure. There are far more practitioners below the Martial Emperor level than those at the Martial Emperor level. If these practitioners also gathered here, the number would inevitably increase exponentially.
However, even so, the number of Martial Emperor Realm practitioners gathered here has already far exceeded that of the other two forces. From this point, it can be seen how fierce the competition for a place in the Sword Palace will be this time.
Yang Qi looked at the ring in the center of the square, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, "No matter how intense the competition is, at least the three places in the Sword Palace will most likely be taken by the human race."
In fact, there was no hatred between Yang Qi and the monster tribe. In fact, because he was a member of the Phoenix tribe, he had a very good relationship with the Phoenix tribe. But even so, in the face of the tribe dispute, Yang Qi always remembered that he was a human. This had nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes, but just a difference in tribe stance.
As a human cultivator, Yang Qi naturally hopes that the human race can obtain more places to enter the original secret realm. After all, the human race is still at a disadvantage compared to the monster race.
