Such an enthusiastic response surprised the director who was busy preparing for the ceremony and did not attend the auction.

Especially after hearing what Hidden Heir said.

He looked at Xiao Chen who came to collect his number plate very carefully and secretly wrote down his number plate.

And decided to focus on observing the opponent's performance in the next battle.

Xiao Chen is not the only such observation object.

All monks who show excessive strength during the selection process will be focused on and reported to them in a timely manner.

This will make it easier for Esteem Truth Temple to understand their fighting skills and take precautions in advance.

The main purpose is to prevent sideways or side tricks that are very rare in ordinary times.

If young disciples are not prepared, they are likely to be at a loss when encountering for the first time and capsize in the gutter.

Soon, all the number plates were distributed.

The first sixteen casual cultivators immediately boarded the arena built overnight and began to fight in pairs.

Although many casual cultivators enjoy watching it, for Xiao Chen, this process is a bit too boring.

Especially in the first round, it was a mixed bag, and the real strength gap between many opponents was very huge.

Under normal circumstances, the battle should be one-sided.

It will be over quickly in a short period of time.

However, in fact, there are many experienced casual cultivators who are deliberately suppressing their own strength.

He is unwilling to use his true methods in the first round of battle.

Instead, they just performed better than their opponents.

This prevents Esteem Truth Temple from deliberately manipulating the lottery and arranging for the two strong players to compete and force out their trump cards in advance.

Regardless of whether Esteem Truth Temple really has such thoughts, doing so will undoubtedly be very beneficial to himself.

The result of this is that the overall time of the battle is lengthened.

Not only does it not look good, but people behind you have to wait longer.

"Next group, No. 999!"

Finally, the referee shouted again.

Xiao Chen, who was bored, immediately stood up and prepared to go on stage.

At the same time, he also prepared a little and decided to control the intensity of his attack.

Don't get me wrong, for him, there is absolutely no need to deliberately suppress his own strength in order to win.

It was mainly the scene of the first round of selection, but there was no True Lord watching the game.

Xiao Chen is worried that if he attacks with all his strength, his opponent will be directly seriously injured or even killed on the spot.

The referee Late-stage Golden Core next to him may not be able to play any role.

"What percentage should I contribute? How about starting with 10% and testing first?"

Just as Xiao Chen was calculating in his mind, his opponent in this round, a young man in gray, simply shouted, "Wait a minute, I admit defeat!"

The young man had already heard the story of what happened at the auction before in the crowd.

Therefore, as soon as he stepped onto the stage, he abstained immediately.

"Shh~!"

There were boos all around immediately.

This move undoubtedly disappointed the casual cultivators who had been paying attention to Xiao Chen. They originally wanted to watch the show.

"Xiao Chen wins this game!"

The referee on the ring was crisp and clear. "The next group..."

The young man in gray clothes was not affected by the people around him. He smiled at Xiao Chen and jumped off the ring.

Well, okay, this is a solution.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen no longer had to worry about it and returned directly to Bamboo Hut to practice.

Today is only better than the first round, so he doesn't need to wait any longer.

The next day.

Everyone came to Arena Zone early again, and all procedures were as usual.

"Next group, No. 699!"

After hearing the referee's announcement, Xiao Chen came on stage again.

The opponent he drew this time was a middle-aged man in brocade robes named Early-stage Golden Core.

As soon as the other party came up, he raised his hands and saluted. "Daoist Xiao, good, I was on Listening Wave Island a few days ago, and I admire the style of fellow Daoist..."

Then there was a round of compliments from Balabala.

"Stop talking!"

Seeing that he was busy saying nice things, the referee on the side urged, "The time is limited, start fighting when you are ready."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in Jinpao handed over his hand again. "Daoist Xiao is really a dragon and a phoenix among men, I am ashamed to say that..."

This time I didn't wait for him to finish what he said.

The referee directly announced, "Xiao Chen wins this game!"

"Next group..."

The middle-aged man in Jinpao still has some unfinished ideas.

However, Xiao Chen did not stay and went straight back to Bamboo Hut.

The third day.

Come to Arena Zone again.

Bored waiting.

The opponent admits defeat.

Return to Bamboo Hut.

On the fourth day, the scene repeated itself again.

"Hiss~!"

Xiao Chen feels like he is under an illusion.

He seems to be at three o'clock and one line every day, experiencing repeated things.

Fortunately, on the fifth day, the situation was different.

After several days of elimination, only the last 197 casual cultivators who signed up were left.

In other words, as long as you win today, you can get 20,000 Spirit Stone and be qualified to participate in the challenge.

And it starts from the previous round.

In order to obtain the Spirit Stone reward, some monks have begun to show their true abilities.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that today's battle will be more intense and more beautiful.

Thinking of this, the remaining seven Foundation Establishment casual cultivators prayed in their hearts that they could meet their opponents who were also Foundation Establishment.

Of course, there are also casual practitioners of Early-stage Golden Core, who are also hoping in their hearts that they can draw the opponent Foundation Establishment and win this round easily.

"Due to the number of people in this round, one lucky person will have a bye."

The principal came on stage again and took out a small ball with a name written on it from Draw Lot Box.

"Congratulations to little friend Zhang Qingshan, you directly received 20,000 Spirit Stone and the qualification to participate in the challenge!"

What a coincidence, the person who got a bye happened to be Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

And in the next draw.

Four of the remaining six Foundation Establishment Cultivator were taken away by Early-stage Golden Core, and two were taken away by the monk Mid-stage Golden Core who had an average performance before.

What's even more coincidental is...

Almost all of the six previous Late-stage Golden Core monks who performed well met their opponents who also performed well in the previous round.

As soon as this result came out, several people immediately cursed in their hearts.

Ranking based on strength alone, they are completely in the top 100, but now they still need to compete for qualifications.

But the smart thing about Esteem Truth Temple is that they only arranged a total of six special games.

Everything else is truly random.

Therefore, outsiders can't find anything wrong.

"Next group, No. 101!"

Xiao Chen heard the referee's greeting and slowly stepped onto the stage.

The opponent he drew this time was a sturdy young man named Late-stage Golden Core.

In the last round of selection, he directly defeated his opponent Late-stage Golden Core with his outstanding performance.

These days, the casual cultivators watching the battle argued with each other and came up with three versions of Top Ten Strongest.

And this sturdy young man was recognized by all casual cultivators as having the combat power to rank among the top ten, and he ranked among the best in all three versions.

On the contrary, there has been endless debate over whether Xiao Chen should be ranked in the top ten.

Some people think that since he has a good background, his strength must be also good.

But some people think that many young masters who come from a big background are just idiots because they have been pampered since they were young. They have an empty realm but no corresponding fighting power.

Some people retorted that Cultivation Method was secretly passed down by numerous powerful forces.

Especially those legendary Heaven Grade Dharma, which can be enough to crush ordinary casual cultivators if you refine them into any one.

Some people disagree, thinking that Xiao Chen must not be much older just by looking at her appearance.

Having practiced Late-stage Golden Core at such a young age, I definitely don't have time to study Law Technique anymore.

In short, everyone has different opinions and no one can convince anyone.

There has been no conclusion for several days, but the quarrel has become more and more intense.

.

"Huh, it's definitely going to be okay this time!"

At the end of the lottery, the principal came down from the stage and put Draw Lot Box, which was hiding Profound Mystery, into Storage Ring.

From the moment Xiao Chen was recognized, he became the focus of attention.

However, because his previous opponents always gave up, Esteem Truth Temple has always looked down upon his strength.

For this reason, the director specially arranged such a game and carefully selected an active young man.

Generally speaking, young people care about face.

Not to mention that such a young Late-stage Golden Core would definitely not admit defeat and embarrass himself.

Therefore, the manager believes that he will definitely be able to discover the strength of Xiao Chen today.

Upon hearing the number 101, he immediately secretly activated Spirit Eye Technique and looked towards the ring.

That sturdy young man was indeed different from others.

Not only did he not flinch when he saw Xiao Chen on stage, but his eyes were full of Battle Intent.

Everyone is Late-stage Golden Core, who is worse than who?

He even took the initiative to say hello, "Listening Wave Sea Rogue Cultivator Chen Qingsong, these Heavenly Dao friends are famous for their fame."

"Today, I will teach you your brilliant strategy."

OK!

The boss on the side was secretly happy, this was exactly what he wanted to see.

The rest of the casual cultivators also became energetic.

Everyone stared at Stage Six with their eyes wide open, wanting to watch this most special showdown.

They are all very curious.

Can Xiao Chen, who has relied on his opponent to admit defeat all the way here, be able to defeat the strong young man who has won easily all the way?

"The next one is Xiao Chen. There is currently no Dharma Name."

Hearing that the other party was protecting his family, Xiao Chen also clasped his fists in return. "I've met Daoist Chen, I'm glad to meet you."

After the two people greeted each other, the referee on the ring directly waved his hand to activate Defensive Formation under the urging of the referee.

At the same time, he threw the red cloth ball in his hand into the air and jumped off the ring.

When Xiao Chen saw this, Three Great Rules of this fight immediately flashed in his mind.

First, the game starts when the red cloth ball hits the ground.

Second, if one party admits defeat, is beaten to the point of falling off the stage, or is on the stage but falls to the ground, it will be directly judged as a loss.

Third, during the competition, it is prohibited to use Fourth-tier Talisman, fourth-level Strange Poison and other foreign objects that are beyond the capabilities of Golden Core cultivator.

Otherwise, you will be directly judged as a loser.

So Xiao Chen stared at the red cloth ball's whereabouts while secretly drawing blood and preparing to sprint.

In a competition on such a fixed arena, under the same circumstances, Body Cultivator's ability is definitely the best and most convenient.

Of course, the most important thing is to fight in the Body Cultivator way, and it is also best to control your own strength to avoid unnecessary damage.

"Boom~!"

The red cloth ball landed on the ring, Xiao Chen kicked it off, and it shot out instantly.

Chen Qingsong happened to have the same idea.

His strong body is the result of years of physical training.

So in an instant, the two of them bumped into each other.

"Ugh!"

Immediately, there was a muffled groan, and a figure flew backwards at an even faster speed, falling from the ring to the ground.

Everyone quickly took a closer look.

The person who was knocked away turned out to be Chen Qingsong!

"What! Senior Chen lost directly?"

"Look, look, what did I say yesterday? How can such a worldly descendant be a idiot!"

"My dear, Senior Xiao is so strong!"

"From now on, I think Senior Xiao is the first among Top Ten Masters!"

Foundation Establishment Cultivators were shocked, but some Golden Core cultivators looked at each other in confusion.

"Hiss~, isn't this right? Daoist Chen but Body Cultivator are actually at a disadvantage in terms of strength?"

"I'm also surprised. They're all Late-stage Golden Core, but they can't even catch a single move?"

"Tell me, there shouldn't be anything fishy behind this, right?"

"In my opinion, this is not certain. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be defeated so quickly."

They had thought that the two of them would fight for dozens of rounds with no outcome, and they had also thought that one of them might suddenly reveal a powerful trump card.

But I never expected that such a situation would end in a single encounter.

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all.

Not only could they not figure it out, but the person in charge on the side could not figure it out either.

You know, he has a mission today to observe the battle of Xiao Chen, and he will report the results afterwards.

But in this situation, what should he say?

You can't say you didn't see anything, right?

But the problem is that he really didn't understand what happened at the moment when the two of them came into contact.

Even the referee under the ring was stunned.

He stared blankly at Chen Qingsong who landed on the ground. He didn't react immediately. It was already his turn to judge the loss.

It wasn't until three breaths later that he was awakened by the comments around him.

After realizing it, he jumped back on the ring and announced loudly, "Xiao Chen wins this match!"

In the final round of selection, many unusual scenes appeared one after another.

For example, Azure Sword True Person has superb swordsmanship and can overpower fellow Late-stage Golden Core.

For example, Zhang Shouquan The 1,600-foot ice dragon reappeared, occupying most of the arena.

For example, an old man from Guanji used Divine Sense Transmission to directly persuade his opponent to admit defeat.

But the one that attracted the most discussion throughout the day and caused greater controversy was undoubtedly Xiao Chen.

Especially as some Golden Core cultivator ideas spread, it's like splashing water into a frying pan.

After all, many casual cultivators only have Foundation Establishment and don't know enough about Golden Core True Person.

At this time, it is naturally easier to listen to what the seniors say.

In addition, gossip has always been the most popular among people, so speculations about various reasons for Xiao Chen's quick victory quickly became popular.

"Could it be that they have known each other for a long time, so they deliberately let it slip?"

"If you ask me, it must be some kind of particularly advanced secret technique, but we can't see it."

"I think maybe Xiao Chen is secretly using Divine Sense Transmission to threaten Senior Chen with the help of his background. He is not a casual cultivator at all, and he is not the same as us."

"What nonsense, what you said is wrong!"

A young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said proudly, "Today's matter is very simple. Senior Chen simply didn't have enough strength and was knocked away."

"Impossible!"

Someone immediately refuted him. "Senior Chen is a practitioner of Body Cultivator, and they are both Late-stage Golden Core. How can there be such a big gap?"

"Humph, you don't understand now."

But the young man lowered his voice. "Let me tell you a secret, this Xiao Chen is not a human at all, but Great Demon Transformation!"

"I've seen it on Ancient Books. Those Great Demon are born with abnormally strong vitality and blood, so their strength is much greater than that of Body Cultivator."

Xiao Chen doesn't really care about the rumors outside.

No matter what they say now, they will naturally find out after the attack is over in a few days.

.

On the other side, with the conclusion of the selection, Esteem Truth Temple has also begun intensive preparations to officially set up the competition.

Strengthen the Defensive Formation around the ring, expand the ring range to accommodate the large Law Technique, arrange special viewing seats for Nascent Soul True Lord... etc.

At the same time, we also launched a round of wooing for individual cultivators who had performed relatively well in the past.

In the selection that just ended, many casual cultivators showed some potential.

Although the overall quality is not as good as that of the large sect disciples, for Esteem Truth Temple, who is relatively short of manpower nowadays, accepting him as a disciple is also a workaround.

After all, for many things, sending Golden Core True Person to come forward is better than Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, many casual practitioners were interviewed secretly.

However, Xiao Chen is not included in this list. After all, in the eyes of others, he is already the confirmed successor of 'Hidden Dao Heritage', and he will definitely not switch to another sect.

But this does not mean that Esteem Truth Temple will ignore him.

On the contrary, Azure Sword True Person, Zhang Shouquan, that Gou Low Old Man and the most bizarre Xiao Chen all performed outstandingly in the selection.

Crane Cry True Monarch specially summoned the director and several referees to listen to their reports and analyze the situation.

As a new force, Esteem Truth Temple needs to prove its foundation to the outside world.

The biggest purpose of setting up Eight Great Arenas this time is to establish prestige through Law Technique!

Therefore, Crane Cry True Monarch specially allocated part of his energy and time to personally handle Eight Great Arenas matters.

After listening to the situation, comment one by one.

At the same time, he called his disciples who were guarding and attacking, and gave them instructions together.

"The first one is Sword Cultivator. It attacks sharply, but as I said before, its shortcoming is that it is difficult to last. Just defend patiently and use the power of the spiritual shield to overcome the edge."

"If anyone suffers a loss here, come back and get your own family law!"

"The second one is an ice dragon with a height of 1,600 feet. It is indeed a good seedling for a casual cultivator."

"Go down and make contact. If he is willing to come to the temple, he can be offered the position of general manager."

For Esteem Truth Temple Core Disciple, they all practice True Essence Secret Art, Qianzhang Law Technique itself has nothing to say.

"The third one is quite interesting. I will go listen to his transmission tomorrow."

"As for the fourth one, let's see which arena he wants to challenge. For the time being, we will handle it as Body Cultivator, and bring a few more Talisman with you."

"Anyway, remember, there are rules and restrictions in the arena."

"In terms of magic alone, our Esteem Truth Temple can be called the best in the world!"

"Don't be arrogant, don't be impetuous, and don't underestimate the enemy. In three days, it will be our Esteem Truth Temple's chance to become famous as Compassion Sea!"

After the arrangement was completed, the disciples below immediately responded in unison, "We will remember the teachings of True Lord!"

Early morning on the sixth day.

Arena Zone A brand new notice was posted outside, announcing the rules of the attack to everyone.

The initial Arena King of Eight Great Arenas are all served by Esteem Truth Temple Disciple.

All monks who attack can freely choose their opponents to win their favorite rewards.

However, in order to prevent repeated challenges, all monks participating in the challenge only have one chance to challenge, and losers will automatically withdraw.

In addition, at the end of each attack, Arena King can get a quarter of an hour of rest time.

In addition, in order to attract people to actively participate.

The first person to succeed in the challenge will receive a piece of Fine Spirit Tool.

Xiao Chen has no interest in the so-called Fine Spirit Tool.

The only things he cares about are Nascent Soul Handbook and Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl.

Therefore, after reading the rules, he returned to Bamboo Hut to continue practicing. He planned to wait until the next day to take action, so as not to be upset by being challenged repeatedly.

However, there are also some casual practitioners who realize that they cannot persevere until the end.

So I went straight to the field at the beginning and tried to take away one more piece Spirit Artifact

Including True Disciple, who ranked low among some major forces, they all took the stage to challenge Esteem Truth Temple Law Technique for the purpose of comparing and testing.

However, the situation of the attack was beyond the expectations of most monks.

By the end of the first day, dozens of casual cultivators had participated in the challenge.

However, Eight Great Arenas is still firmly occupied by Esteem Truth Temple Disciple.

I have to say that although Crane Cry True Monarch is confident in his own magic, his words are not false.

Esteem Truth Temple Disciple faced Elite Disciple sent by the other six major sects, as well as masters selected from among the casual cultivators to attack together.

All of them actually showed extraordinary fighting prowess.

One of the most difficult disciples experienced challenges from eight monks in the morning, but with his superb Water Law, he won them all cleanly.

Even Divine Fist True Person, who is recognized by casual cultivators as being able to rank among the top five in the selection.

When he was attacking East Arena where Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl was, he was guarded tightly by his opponent with his spiritual shield, and finally lost helplessly.

This result is obviously too exaggerated.

You must know that the first batch of disciples sent by Esteem Truth Temple were not the most powerful among them.

In fact, it is just a testing stone used to force the other attackers to reveal their trump cards.

However, these test stones have directly eliminated almost half of the attackers.

So much so that even Five Great Sects was shocked. After all, they also had many True Disciples who failed in the challenge.

What's more serious is to continue with this situation.

If the first eight Esteem Truth Temple Disciple persist until the end, the rest of the sects will lose all face after word spreads.

For this reason, Nascent Soul True Lords of Five Great Sects also paid attention to it.

And early the next morning, they sent a second group of disciples up to try to attack and further test the opponent's weaknesses.

At the same time, even Heaven Sword True Person, Thunderbolt Spear and other sect senior brothers or Chief Disciple.

They all stood in the audience and observed the battle seriously.

If the situation is really unfavorable, they may need to start playing in advance. After all, the sect's reputation is important.

But in that way, the other party can send disciples in advance to consume their Law Power.

It was noon the next day.

Esteem Truth Temple Although the eight disciples consumed a lot of energy, with the help of spiritual objects that quickly restored their true energy and energy, they still performed very well and showed no signs of decline.

Just when the other sects were almost unable to sit still.

Arena Zone There was a sudden commotion outside.

I saw Xiao Chen, who had rested for the night, and arrived at the scene unhurriedly.

And he walked straight to the boss and expressed his choice to challenge East Arena.
