Han Li looked at Madam Liu Hua on the high platform, and his heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Madam Liu Hua's status wasn't low, but he really didn't expect her to have such a high position in Xuan City.
"It's a great honor for everyone to gather in Darkstar City today to participate in the grand event of the Martial Competition of the Five Cities. I hope that everyone will witness the birth of the strongest king in the Asura Arena with us!" Segal's tone gradually became excited as he shouted.
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
The entire Shuraba immediately exploded, and the tsunami-like sound waves immediately responded, shaking the sky.
After a few simple words, Eche pressed his hands a few times in the air and sat down on the big chair behind him. When the other five saw this, they also sat down one after another.
The cheers in the Shuraba lasted for a long time before gradually dying down.
"In this Five Cities Martial Competition, the sixty-four elites selected from each city will fight in pairs on the Dark Fighting Stage for a total of six rounds, and then the new Dark Fighting King will be decided.
Those who enter the top eight will be rewarded with an Earth-rank Scaled Beast's core, and those who enter the top four will be rewarded with a Heaven-rank Scaled Beast's core, "the dark-skinned man who hosted the venue shouted again at this time.
His voice resounded throughout the entire Asura Arena. Not only were the spectators in the spectator stands extremely excited, even those in the Profound Battle Arena were in high spirits. The beast core of a Heaven and Earth Class Scaled Beast was an extremely precious cultivation resource to any of them.
"In addition, those who enter the top three will also receive a Heaven Qilin Meteorite Crystal. This is a meteorite crystal from outer space that's rarely seen in tens of millions of years. It's a top-notch material for refining pills and refining weapons. Its value goes without saying," the dark-skinned man announced loudly.
The spectators exclaimed. This thing hadn't appeared in Xuan City for many years.
When Han Li heard this, his expression slightly relaxed, and he thought to himself that he shouldn't have to worry about getting the third place.
"City Lord Eche, you've really put in a lot of effort this time. This reward is enough to be given to the champion in the previous competitions. Don't you feel distressed?" Sun Tu said with a smile on the high platform.
"It's all our cities. It won't be considered as a waste if it's taken by anyone. There's nothing to feel distressed about," Eche said with a smile.
At this time, the dark-skinned man announced:
"The second place winner will receive a set of Mystical Star Scale Armor personally made by Madam Liu Hua.
This set of armor was meticulously crafted in recent years. Just the large and small Star Bones alone cost 1,236 pieces. In addition to all kinds of rare materials that are not inferior to the Heavenly Qilin Meteorite Crystal, as well as Madam Liu Hua's time and energy, it is not an exaggeration to call it a priceless treasure. "
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Even the expressions of Feng Wuchen and the other outstanding talents from the various cities changed, and their eyes lit up with greed.
Han Li looked at Madam Liuhua, who had a smug smile on her face, and finally understood why this short old man knew that the Celestial Qilin Meteor Crystal was one of the rewards.
There was a lot of discussion in the stands. With the appearance of the first two treasures, almost everyone was guessing what the reward for the champion would be.
But none of them could come up with an answer, because there were not many things more precious than these two things that could be found in the Scale Dimension.
"The champion will receive a Sulphuric Flame Blood Cloud."
The dark-skinned man announced in the midst of all kinds of guesses and arguments. But it was different from the previous two things. There was only a name for the Sulphuric Flame Blood Cloud, without any explanation or description.
The grandstand was silent. No one seemed to be able to recall for a moment. What exactly was that thing?
But on the high stand, other than Eche and Madam Liu Hua, the other city lords' expressions all changed.
"Sulphuric Flame Blood Cloud … Is it really that thing?" Chen Yang couldn't help but ask.
The rest of them also looked at Er Ge, casting inquiring looks at him.
City Lord Eche nodded and said, "Don't be surprised, everyone. The reward for the champion is indeed the Sulphuric Flame Blood Cloud, also known as the Mother Aperture Dew."
"Legend has it that this cloud contains the Blood Qi energy that is difficult to resolve. If a cultivator were to absorb it into his body, he would be able to open his Profound Aperture without relying on cultivation methods. Moreover, there would be no hidden dangers." Chen Yang couldn't help but ask, unable to suppress the shock in his eyes.
"It's not that incredible. It's true that it can open up the Mysterious Aperture, but it's not completely unlimited. The human body has a limit to how much the blood cloud can withstand. If one still forcibly absorbs it at the limit, their Qi and blood will flow backward and their body will explode," Eche said with a smile.
"Even so, it's still shocking enough …" Everyone exclaimed in admiration.
Eche didn't deliberately lower his voice, and everyone on the Mysterious Fighting Arena had amazing hearing, so they heard every word he said. Everyone's faces revealed a look of surprise and desire.
Han Li only frowned slightly. He was a little surprised that there was such an item, but he wasn't very interested in it.
After all, his speed in opening up the Mysterious Aperture was far faster than others, so his desire for this item was naturally not as strong as others. On the contrary, the Celestial Qilin Meteorite Crystal was more attractive to him.
After all, there was no lack of knowledgeable people on the spectator stand. Someone said the origin of the Sulphuric Flame Blood Cloud, and it immediately caused a thousand ripples, causing a burst of intense discussion among the audience.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the discussion didn't stop, the dark-skinned man shouted again,
"The first round of the Five Cities Martial Competition has a total of 32 matches. Eight matches will be held at the same time, and a total of four rounds will be divided into four rounds. All of them will end today.
32 victors would be decided from this battle, and they would enter the next round of the Profound Battle Competition seven days from now.
Now, I'll announce the first round of the Mysterious Fighting Competition. "
As the dark-skinned man's voice fell, a rumbling sound of friction rang out.
On the left side of the high platform, a greyish-white stone wall rose slowly. There were four lines on it, and each of them was engraved with the name list of each Mysterious Fighter in the four rounds of the Mysterious Fighting Competition.
Han Li's gaze swept across the stone wall. The name list of the first round did not include himself, nor did Gu Qianxun. Instead, Tu Gang and Sun Binghe, who were both from Qingyang City, were on the list.
Sun Binghe's opponent was a Mysterious Fighter from Zhixuan City. He had never heard Gu Qianxun or Chen Yang mention him, so he shouldn't be a powerful figure. Tu Gang's opponent was Duan Tong from Tongyu City.
He looked down and found his name on the "Xun" Profound Fighting Arena in the second round. His opponent was Xu Shun, a Profound Gladiator from Opal City.
"Brother Li, it seems that we'll both be fighting in the second round. You're on the" Xun "Stage, and I'm on the" Li "Platform. It's unlikely that we'll be able to observe each other's battles." Gu Qianxun's voice suddenly rang in Han Li's mind.
Han Li glanced at the stone wall and found Gu Qianxun's name not far from his. Her opponent seemed to be a Mysterious Fighter from Zhixuan City, named Wang Zhi.
"Have you seen this Xu Shun before?" Han Li asked telepathically.
"I think he participated in the Five Cities Martial Competition before. His ranking wasn't that great, so I don't have any impression of him.
However, those who are selected to participate in the Five Cities Martial Competition are mostly capable. "Gu Qianxun replied after thinking for a moment.
Han Li nodded to himself. He looked through all the names of the 32 Mysterious Fighters in the first round and muttered, "The division of the list is quite coincidental. Cultivators from the same city won't fight each other, and the main Mysterious Fighters of each city won't meet each other."
"This has always been the case, and it's done on purpose.
The principle of not fighting within the same city only applies to the first round. In the second round, the number of Mysterious Fighters from each city will be different, and there's no way to guarantee that there won't be internal strife.
For example, if all 12 of a city's cultivators won the first round, it'll be hard to avoid arranging for Mysterious Fighters from the same city in the second round.
In order to ensure the viewing value of the Mysterious Fighters, the main forces of each city will basically not meet each other in the first three rounds.
Their battles will basically only occur after the top eight battles, "Gu Qianxun explained telepathically.
"Today's first round, the eight groups of Mysterious Fighters will return to the Mysterious Fighting Platform. The remaining Mysterious Fighters will wait.
Everyone, please proceed to the gambling platform to place your bets. The Mysterious Fights will officially begin in a quarter of an hour. "At this moment, the tanned man's voice rang out again.
As Han Li and the rest began to leave, the spectator stands became noisy. Almost everyone stood up and left their seats, heading to the gambling platforms set up near the eight Mysterious Fighting Platforms to place their bets.
The area of the Shuraba Arena was simply too large. Even if one sat on the spectator stands high enough, it was completely impossible to watch all eight Mysterious Fights at the same time. Therefore, after these spectators had chosen their bets, they would basically take a seat near the spectator stands and wait for the matches to begin.
The place where Han Li and the rest waited was a circular passageway below the spectator stands, almost encircling the entire Shuraba Arena.
There were windows in the passageway, and as long as one was willing to walk, one could circle around the passageway and see the situation of every Mysterious Fighting Platform outside.
Apart from the 16 people currently fighting, the other Mysterious Fighters from each city were all within.
Almost all the Qingyang City cultivators who were on good terms with Tu Gang and Sun Binghe had gathered near the "Kun" and "Dui" platforms where the two of them were fighting. They stood in front of the passageway windows and looked out.
"This Fellow Daoist Tu Gang is too unlucky. He's up against this killing god, Duan Tong, in the first round. It looks like this is the end of his journey in this tournament …" A Qingyang City Mysterious Fighter sighed.
"What can we do … Don't lament, aren't we the same? Not to mention Duan Tong, even if we meet someone slightly weaker than him, what are our chances of winning?" Another person also sighed.
"Don't freaking lament. Don't we still have Fellow Daoist Yi … Eh?
Where's Fellow Daoist Yi? "
Only then did the crowd realize that Yi Liya, who had been traveling with them earlier, was nowhere to be seen.
In an empty section of the passageway, Yi Liya and a tall middle-aged man walked side by side, whispering to each other.
"I didn't expect that it'd been so many years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Yi's cultivation advancement is truly remarkable. I'm quite envious," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Brother Xu, don't make fun of me.
I won't beat around the bush. I've come to find you this time because I have a request, "Yi Liya said.
"Speak your mind," the middle-aged man said, stopping in his tracks.
"The person Brother Xu is fighting today is called Li Feiyu. He's from our Qingyang City.
Brother, I hope that when you fight him … "Yi Liya lowered his voice and made a gesture of cutting his throat with his palm.
It turned out that this middle-aged man with the surname Xu was none other than the Opal City Mysterious Fighter, Xu Shun, who was about to fight Han Li.
