It wasn’t until Haoyue Immortal Sect disciples took their seats at the auditorium that many people came to their senses, and Huo Xing’s Sea of consciousness suddenly exploded.

“Senior Brother Huo, did you see just now? Cheng Yu turned around to look at our Senior Brother Li?”

“Senior Brother Huo, does Cheng Yu have a crush on our Senior Brother Li? What if Haoyue Immortal Sect wants to use a beauty trap to snatch away Senior Brother Li? What do we do?”

“Senior Brother Huo, do you want to tell Cheng Qi to keep an eye on Senior Brother Li?”

“Senior Brother Huo…”

“Huo Xing, be careful of Cheng Yu,”

Huo Xing heard a group of fellow disciples rushing behind him with sound transmission, then he was almost paralyzed until Ji Hexuan’s voice came out in his mind too. He couldn’t even laugh or cry. Why didn’t he realize these people were so noisy before? If he had known it, he wouldn’t have to hold it all day long.

The disciples were chatting animatedly using sound transmission, but they didn’t know that in front of Li Tianyan, whose soul power was hundreds of times stronger than theirs, their sound transmission was no different from talking loudly.

Li Tianyan shook his head helplessly. The person Cheng Yu looked back at just now was clearly Cheng Qi. This might be the blood connection of the two shuangers.

At this time, Cheng Qi was still secretly watching Cheng Yu in the distance, but he didn’t realize that a group of fellow disciples behind him were worrying about his happiness.

As soon as the opening hour of the competition arrived, a burst of passionate drumbeats came from the arena, and the cultivators in the audience immediately fell silent.

They saw a peak foundation-establishment cultivator standing in the middle of the ring and saying in a clear voice, “Today is the first game of the competition. Due to changes in circumstances, the rules of the competition have also been slightly adjusted. The original ranking system has been changed to a promotion competition system.”

The cultivator’s words rang in everyone’s ears. Although his voice was not loud, everyone on the field could hear it clearly. When they learned that the competition system was to be changed, the audience was in an uproar. Obviously, the disciples of the various sects did not get the message of the change in advance.

Li Tianyan frowned. In the promotion competition, there was no need to separate the rankings. Only fifty people would be screened out in the fastest way. This competition system did not allow mistakes. Losing one game meant elimination. The most likely reason for the sudden change in the format of the competition was that the opening time of the secret realm had changed.

The foundation-establishment cultivator in the arena paused for a moment before continuing, “The first elimination round will now begin. There are a total of 518 Qi-condensation cultivators participating in the competition. They will be divided into 20 rounds, with about twenty-six people in each round. The last ten people who can stand in the ring will advance. Now all the Qi Condensations go to the field to draw their own matches.”

“On the first day, more than half of the people will be eliminated. This…”

“If you accidentally fall off the ring, you won’t have another chance.”

“If you are unlucky, your ring could be full of other forces, it will be even more unfair if you lose.”

Cheng Qi listened to the complaints around him, then turned to look at Li Tianyan. “Young master, is this competition system bad?”

Li Tianyan thought for a moment before responding, “For cultivators, when there is no chance, one mistake may already cost someone their life. Therefore, every step must be taken with caution. As for which faction has more opponents, it depends on the cultivator’s luck. If the luck is really bad, there is nothing to say about elimination.”

Li Tianyan finished speaking, then squeezed Cheng Qi’s palm again and said, “I believe you can do it, go ahead.”

“Yes,” Cheng Qi nodded, suddenly full of fighting spirit. He got up and walked down to the viewing platform.

The Qi Condensation disciples of Tianfan Immortal Sect behind him suddenly became enlightened after hearing Li Tianyan’s words, and they no longer struggled with the issue of the unfair competition system. They all stood up and followed Cheng Qi to the ring.

However, Tianfan Immortal Sect’s luck was really good this time. More than eighty Qi-condensation disciples were drawn into relatively concentrated matches. There were only a few who were left alone. Cheng Qi was drawn to the thirteenth match, and there were six disciples on the same stage.

After the matches were decided, the central arena suddenly shook. The four stone platforms that could accommodate hundreds of people slowly rose up. They did not stop until the stone platforms reached the same height as the viewing platform.

These four stone platforms were flat as if they were cut out. The ground was smooth with not even a pillar. The size and shape were exactly the same. Only the numbers floating on the top of the stone platforms were different.

At this time, the foundation-establishment cultivator who was presiding over the competition spoke again, “Now, the disciples who have been drawn from the first to the fourth rings are asked to stand on the corresponding arena. If the competition starts, those who have not yet come on ring will be counted as abstaining from the competition. All you need to do is knock your opponent off the ring, and you must not injure anyone’s life, otherwise, you will be disqualified from the competition.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, many qi-condensation cultivators stood up and flew to different rings on their spiritual weapons.

This time, there were about ten disciples from the Tianfan Immortal Sect. There were only two people in the first ring, but there were eight people in the third ring. Sure enough, as soon as the competition started, people from the same force began to join forces and besieged others. The two Tianfan Immortal Sect disciples on the first ring were quickly forced off the ring.

On the fourth ring, more than twenty qi-condensation cultivators were fighting on the same ring. In order not to be easily forced off the ring, they all tried their best. Spiritual energy surged for a moment, and various spells and combat techniques were unpredictable. The people watching the rings were dazzled.

Everyone in the ring at this time might become his opponent in the next match. The Qi Condensation cultivators watching the match were all eager to multi-task and write down the characteristics of each person’s moves so that they could know their enemies in the next match.
