Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, the many prodigies of the Ziwei Holy Land stood ramrod straight, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
Ji Zining could say she didn't need to care about her, but they couldn't really do that.
After all, their Divine Son Hall prodigy who, upon arriving at the Heavenly Pride Battlefield of Heavenly Pride Battlefield, created an unprecedented precedent!
The geniuses of the Ziwei Holy Land held such extraordinary talents in high esteem.
If they could be chosen by His Divine Son Hall to become warriors and cultivate alongside Divine Son Hall, it would perhaps be the greatest opportunity of their lives.
Seeing this, Ji Zining shook her head helplessly.
"Since that's how you are, then you can just stand there."
Having found a place to sit cross-legged, Ji Zining nodded slightly to Xiao Jing.
" Xiao Jing, you can begin."
After speaking, Ji Zining looked at the thirteen prodigies standing side by side in front of her.
Next, let's learn about the strength of the geniuses from the Ziwei Holy Land in Qingming City.
Knowing the basics, we'll know how to proceed in tomorrow's Martial Emperor Secret Realm.
Xiao Jing respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, then turned around, his expression turning solemn. He glanced at the many prodigies from the Ziwei Holy Land and said in a deep voice.
"What happens next is something all of you fellow disciples surely know: the Martial Emperor Secret Realm is about to open."
"As always, the spots will be decided through the simplest and most direct competition."
At this point, Xiao Jing glanced at the many prodigies from the Ziwei Holy Land watching the battle.
"Of course, those who didn't make it onto the Heavenly Pride Ranking won't participate; they can all enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm tomorrow."
"This competition is primarily aimed at the thirteen strongest individuals ranked on the Heavenly Pride Ranking."
The remaining prodigies are of little use staying in the city, so it's better for them to enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm together.
Perhaps they can even gain some opportunities, improve their cultivation, and enter the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
This is unlikely in the True Martial Dao Domain, but it is highly possible in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield!
Countless ordinary geniuses have come to the Heavenly Pride Battlefield, and due to a fortuitous opportunity, they have directly become top geniuses, ranking at the top of the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
After speaking, Xiao Jing went to an open space, waved his hand, and a formation plate flew out.
As soon as the array plate landed on the ground, a burst of intense light emanated from above.
Along with these lights, there was also the power of space.
Seeing this, Ji Zining became somewhat curious.
What are they doing?
A moment later, a cubic-shaped isolated space appeared in the square.
Seeing this, Ji Zining's expression showed some understanding.
Emotions are setting up the arena.
However, this arena is quite interesting; its interior is surprisingly spacious and hidden.
It appears to be only a dozen or so feet in size from the outside, but the interior space is probably hundreds of miles in size.
For these Heavenly Pride Ranking, several hundred miles is not a large distance; there will likely be some exciting battles to come.
Xiao Jing's gaze fell on the thirteen geniuses on the Heavenly Pride Ranking standing beside him, and he waved his hand.
"Today's competition is different from the past; it will be a free-for-all."
"On my command, everyone, get into the ring!"
Before the arena, the many Heavenly Pride Ranking exchanged glances, then moved and walked towards the spatial arena.
Everyone's face was filled with determination.
They absolutely must enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm this time!
It's not just because the Martial Emperor Secret Realm only opens once every hundred years, but also because His Divine Son Hall will be going there with them this time.
The other prodigies all showed expressions of anticipation upon seeing this.
In this chaotic free-for-all, no one knows who will emerge victorious.
Even a prodigy at the Saint King Realm could be eliminated early if they are unlucky.
Once everyone had entered the arena, Xiao Jing stepped back a little and said in a deep voice.
"In the free-for-all, forming factions is prohibited. Fight based solely on individual skill. Anyone who can no longer fight will be teleported off the stage by saying the words 'I'm quitting.'"
"Then, let the duel begin!"
Inside the spatial arena, Xiao Jing's words did not immediately spark a fight.
The thirteen prodigies each retreated a short distance, watching each other warily.
They knew very well that whoever made the first move would become the target of everyone's attacks.
One wrong move and you'll be eliminated.
What they need to do now is to be vigilant and wait, to see who will lose their temper first.
Once someone loses their temper, that's when the fight breaks out!
For a moment, the square fell silent.
However, no one showed any impatience because of this.
Those who can enter the Heavenly Pride Battlefield are all prodigies, and they naturally know the importance of the chaotic battle.
Whoever makes the first move is most likely to be the first to be eliminated!
At a certain moment, a young man with an ordinary face suddenly became serious, his power surged, and a sharp edge appeared amidst the sound of a blade.
"Buzz!"
" The Nine Heaven-Opening Forms, First Form!"
A blade of light, brimming with extreme sharpness, flew out, heading towards the nearest prodigy.
Seeing this, the other prodigies could no longer hold back and unleashed their power to attack the ordinary youth who had made the first move.
"Clang!"
"Buzz!"
"Clang!"
"..."
Amidst a series of booming sounds, various attacks enveloped the ordinary young man.
After the initial attack, the ordinary-looking young man did not continue his assault. Instead, he used his movement technique to dodge to the side as if he had foreseen the future.
"Boom!"
One attack after another landed on the spot where the ordinary youth had been standing, but he had now moved to another location.
The other prodigies looked on with regret.
As expected of the Saint King Realm prodigy, this reaction speed is truly astonishing.
The look of regret was fleeting; in the next instant, the many prodigies each sought out opponents and began to fight.
They have no fixed opponents; they attack whoever is in front of them.
Just like the name of the duel suggests, it was a chaotic battle!
The prodigy attacked by the ordinary youth was actually another Saint King Realm prodigy. After blocking the blade's edge, he passed through the crowd and found the ordinary youth.
The other prodigies, instead of taking advantage of the situation, tacitly avoided him.
They are no match for the Saint King Realm prodigies.
"Our last battle was over ten years ago, wasn't it? Today, let's settle this once and for all!"
The ordinary young man smiled faintly, his broadsword flashing through the air.
" Hua Wuxiao, I admit you are strong, but you are no match for me. The ranking on the Heavenly Pride Ranking speaks for itself."
The young Hua Wuxiao gently.
"Senior Brother Tiancang, whether I am your match or not, we'll only know after we try!"
"Let's fight!"
"Clang!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hua Wuxiao stopped talking and, with a sword whistling, slashed out with his longsword.
With a swing of his Tiancang Azure Blade, an even more powerful sharpness emerged.
As you wish!
" The Nine Heaven-Opening Forms, Second Form!"
"Buzz!"
As the ordinary young man Tiancang unleashed his sword strike, a fierce battle erupted within the spatial arena.
Space was easily torn apart; no intact space could be seen within the arena, only endless void.
In the square.
The many prodigies from the Ziwei Holy Land watched the battle on the arena without blinking.
It's rare to see so many senior brothers and sisters fighting together; I must observe carefully, and perhaps I can gain some insights.
Xiao Jing glanced at the situation inside the arena and nodded slightly.
He turned around, sat down cross-legged not far from Ji Zining, and said softly.
" Your Divine Son Hall, what do you think of the prodigies of my Ziwei Holy Land?"
Ji Zining withdrew her gaze and said seriously.
"Very strong! Extremely strong!"
Putting everything else aside, just looking at those prodigies who wield swords and knives, she felt she was no match for them.
She had reached 70% of the Sword Artistic Conception, but Ji Zining felt that the two people in the arena had a deeper level of understanding than she had!
Saint King Realm prodigy, truly worthy of being called Saint King Realm prodigy.
Her cultivation at the Saint Manifestation Realm was ultimately still somewhat lacking.
