Remember for a second 【↘→】, providing you with a wonderful novel reading experience. With Wei Xiong's appearance, everyone's attention was focused on him.
Wei Xiong's sharp gaze swept all around, slowly descending from the void and standing on the martial arena, his imposing aura收敛无形,负手而立。
"In the past three days and nights, fifty-one of you have been selected from the three hundred major cities. Listen carefully..."
Ye Wuxie calmed his mind and focused intently on Wei Xiong standing on the martial arena.
"Each of you has a City Seal in your hand. Take it out now."
"Buzz..."
Instantly, fifty-one City Seals emitting a purple glow appeared, held in each person's hand.
Ye Wuxie looked at the City Seal in his hand, which had "Dragon Light" engraved on the back and his name on the front, feeling a moment of reflection.
However, the fifty-one City Seals were then swept away by a force, floating beside Wei Xiong.
"Listen carefully. I will now explain the rules of the final battle."
Wei Xiong spoke calmly, and the fifty-one City Seals in front of him began to rotate randomly, forming a purple circle, which was slowly lifted into the air, still rotating.
"The rules are simple. Each City Seal represents one of you. You fifty-one will be paired randomly to fight. The loser is eliminated, and the winner advances to the next round, until the final victor, who will become the champion of this year's Hundred Cities Battle. The top ten in the Hundred Cities Battle will receive rich rewards, and their families will also be honored. There are also unexpected surprises waiting for the top ten."
As Wei Xiong finished speaking, the fifty-one young geniuses all showed a slight change in their expressions, and their hearts were filled with burning passion, their faces radiating intense fighting spirit!
"Since the pairing is random, you might face a companion from the same major city. Also, I have one more thing to tell you: the champion of the Hundred Cities Battle has one chance to challenge. If they win, they will have the honor of meeting the Great City Lord and receiving personal guidance from him."
Upon hearing this, the entire martial arena immediately erupted!
"My God! Did I hear that right!"
"The Second City Lord actually said the champion of the Hundred Cities Battle can have the chance to meet the Great City Lord!"
"Hmph! It's not that easy!"
"That's right! In the past few decades, no champion of the Hundred Cities Battle has passed the challenge to meet the Great City Lord!"
"Isn't that like a mirage!"
"That's different. Having a goal and something to look forward to is also a kind of motivation!"
...
Countless voices echoed, and nearly ten thousand people shouted in unison, instantly drowning the entire martial arena.
Clasping his fists tightly, his gaze sharp as a blade, a powerful aura rose from his body. At this moment, Ye Wuxie's desire and determination burned fiercely in his heart!
"I must become the champion of the Hundred Cities Battle! I must pass the challenge. Only then can I meet the Great City Lord and ask him about the Blood Dragon Jade. Before that, no one can stop me!"
The silent cry echoed in Ye Wuxie's heart, his eyes sharp and bright, his black hair flowing over his shoulders, his tall and slender figure exuding a sense of strength.
"Ye Wuxie, whether you can achieve your goal depends on you."
Qi Shilong's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Wuxie's ear, and no one else heard it, making Ye Wuxie's expression tighten, and he nodded lightly.
"Buzz..."
The purple circle in the void continued to rotate, emitting a strong purple light, which tugged at everyone's nerves. 【←↘】
Wei Xiong, standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly smiled and said loudly, "The final battle of the Hundred Cities Battle begins now. Please welcome the Elder of Holy Light, who has come from afar, to draw the opponents for the fifty-one participants."
"Hahaha... City Lord Wei, you are too polite. I will gladly do it!"
Before the person arrived, a powerful and aged voice echoed throughout the martial arena, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
A figure not very tall suddenly appeared on the martial arena, an old man.
Elder Holy Light had white hair and a youthful face, a ruddy complexion, and deep, sea-like eyes. He wore a white robe, and a warm aura radiated from his body, as if his presence could support the entire world.
"Elder Holy Light? There are no elders in the First Major City?"
"Could Elder Holy Light not be from the Eastern Land?"
"I told you this year's Hundred Cities Battle is very special. Just wait and see!"
...
Whispers continued to rise, and Elder Holy Light's appearance clearly surprised everyone.
Elder Holy Light smiled, his gaze sweeping over the fifty-two young faces seated on their stone seats, nodding slightly, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Then Elder Holy Light rose into the air, slowly flying to the side of the purple circle, and said with a smile, "I am Elder Holy Light, from one of the five super sects of Central State, the Holy Path of All Heavens."
Upon hearing this, it was like a volcanic eruption!
Dou Tian from the Desolate Heaven Major City's expression tightened, a hint of excitement flashing across his emotionless face, as a vast and deep aura spread out. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for for three years, and it had finally arrived. 【←↘】
Pang Zhong, the fattest of the three big men from the Yue Shan Major City, had a pair of sharp eyes gleaming beneath his fat face.
The three graceful and alluring women from the Floating Shadow Major City suddenly smiled, their beauty as captivating as a blooming orchid.
Yuan She from the Snake Spirit Major City's gray hair moved without wind, revealing a long, necklace-like object around his neck, which suddenly emitted two thin, cold rays of light.
Feng Cai Chen and the two other sword-carrying youths behind him remained expressionless, closing their eyes as if immersed in their own world.
"Central State? One of the five super sects? The Holy Path of All Heavens?"
Elder Holy Light's words made Ye Wuxie's expression tighten, as he knew Jun Shan Lie came from one of the five super sects of Central State, the Azure Sky Divine Palace.
"How could an elder from a super sect leave Central State and come to the Eastern Land? Is there some unknown reason behind this?"
Ye Wuxie muttered to himself, and Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao beside him were also puzzled.
Elder Holy Light, standing in the void, smiled and paused, then spoke again, delivering a message that made the entire martial arena erupt once more!
"I am Elder Holy Light, and I have come to the Eastern Land to participate in the Hundred Cities Battle for one purpose, which is the surprise mentioned by City Lord Wei. After the final ten are decided, I will take these ten geniuses back to the sect and admit them into the Holy Path of All Heavens, making them disciples of the Holy Path of All Heavens!"
"Boom"
The entire martial arena erupted, everyone's faces filled with shock and disbelief!
In the next moment, countless cheers rose to the sky!
"Super sect! The super sect of Central State, the Holy Path of All Heavens!"
"This is a force even stronger than the hundred major cities of the Eastern Land!"
"The Holy Path of All Heavens is recruiting disciples in the Eastern Land! This is simply unbelievable!"
"This will truly broaden our horizons!"
"I wonder which ten lucky ones will be admitted to the Holy Path of All Heavens!"
...
The cheers rose to the sky, and every person present was extremely excited!
The Eastern Land, in the entire Northern Sky Region, could only be considered a small corner.
Central State, however, was the most prosperous and thriving place in the Northern Sky Region.
The five super sects were the five most powerful forces in Central State, and could be considered the best in the Northern Sky Region!
Now, one of the five super sects, the Holy Path of All Heavens, had come to the Eastern Land to select geniuses to take as disciples, which was the grandest event in the Eastern Land in nearly fifty years!
What does it mean to be admitted to a super sect?
It means leaping from a common fish to a dragon, standing out from the masses, and stepping onto the path of cultivation, no longer remaining unknown and no longer practicing alone.
With the protection of the sect, the guidance of teachers, and the companionship of fellow disciples, one will shine brightly, radiating endless light!
Perhaps in the future, one might achieve great power, fame spreading across the Northern Sky, becoming a living legend!
Thinking of this, the dozens of young cultivators about to engage in battle were all filled with excitement, their hearts surging, and they wished they could let out a long cry to the sky!
Seeing that his words had stirred the emotions of the dozens of young cultivators, Elder Holy Light nodded slightly and, without further delay, extended his right hand and reached into the purple circle in front of him!
"Buzz..."
Two City Seals emitting a purple glow were pulled out by Elder Holy Light. With a wave of his hand, the two City Seals glowed in the void, and Elder Holy Light announced loudly, "First round, Yuan She from the Snake Spirit Major City, versus Feng Cai Chen from the Sword Casting Major City!"
Yuan She, whose name was called by Elder Holy Light, was initially stunned, then a sinister smile appeared on his face as he looked towards Feng Cai Chen.
"Whoosh"
A sound of breaking air echoed, and Yuan She's figure flashed, already standing on the martial arena, pointing at Feng Cai Chen with a finger, his challenge unmasked.
Ye Wuxie looked at Feng Cai Chen and saw that Feng Cai Chen, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened them, his clear eyes flashing with a sharp, cutting light!
"Whoosh"
Feng Cai Chen, carrying a long sword on his back, stepped onto the martial arena, standing ten zhang away from Yuan She.
"Feng Cai Chen, your luck is really bad. You've met me in the first round. Don't worry, I will settle the old scores from the Heavenly Hundred Inheritance with you and see how a sword genius at the peak of the Heroic Soul Realm can be defeated like a dog!"
Yuan She spoke with a sinister tone, his voice filled with coldness, his gaze fixed on Feng Cai Chen!
"Buzz"
Gray yuan force immediately swirled around, the power of the peak Heroic Soul Realm pouring out, a powerful wave rising!
Feng Cai Chen, standing alone, did not speak, only his eyes quietly watching Yuan She. He was handsome, with fair hands, like a refined gentleman, free from the dust of the world.
"Whoosh"
Yuan She turned into a blur, charging at Feng Cai Chen!
