Chapter 954: A Strong Return (Part II)
The day of the Inner Sect's disciple ranking battle has finally arrived. The new city, a city that has been silent all the time, seems to have been injected with vitality all at once.
On the wide street, you can often see some disciples of the Inner Sect coming and going, and they all gathered here today, all to go to a common destination, that is, the secret realm of the martial arts arena located in the western suburbs of the new city.
Zhan Chen also came here for the first time, and from a distance, he saw a circular venue more than 50 meters high and covering an area of nearly 30,000 square meters, which was located in the middle of a vast open space. And a large number of Inner Sect disciples were concentrating towards that building one after another from all over the place.
"It seems that this is the place where the Inner Sect disciple ranking battle will be held, and today I will come out on top!" Zhan Chen secretly thought, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After entering the venue, Zhan Chen went to the registration office on the side to receive his challenge number, he was arranged at the number of one thousand five hundred and forty-five, which belonged to the number in the middle, and in fact, there were more than three thousand people who signed up for this challenge, that is to say, nearly one percent of the disciples of the Inner Sect will compete fiercely here.
Of course, there are more than 3,000 people here, and many of them come here to watch the battle and learn from the experience of winning in the future.
Walking into the venue, Zhan Chen saw many portals flashing in the huge space, there were ten in total, and there were signs at the doors of these portals, indicating numbers one to ten, which would lead to different arenas, which meant that once the qualifying match started, there would be ten games at the same time.
But these arenas are open, meaning that spectators are free to travel back and forth between the ten arenas and choose their favorite matchups to enjoy.
A large fluorescent screen hangs high on one of the walls of the venue, which shows the schedule of the upcoming tournament, including information about the players and which tournament they are playing in.
At this point, almost everyone is quietly gathered in front of this screen, because the matchups in each match are random, and after a matchup, the information on the screen will change immediately, and the names of new players will be filled in.
On the other wall of the venue, another fluorescent screen was hung, showing the rules of the ranked matches, the judges for each match, and the rewards for the winners. Zhan Chen walked over and took a look at it, the first place in the challenge can actually get 100 million merit points, merit points are a good thing, you can exchange for anything in the inner sect, Dao weapons, pills, exercises, and entering the cultivation tower to cultivate, etc.
"100 million merit points! Even for these merit points, I am determined to win the first place!" Zhan Chen secretly clenched his fists.
The second and third places will receive 50 million merit points, the fourth to tenth places will receive 30 million merit points, and the eleventh to the 11th to 100th places will receive 5 million merit points.
The elders who finally came here to watch the battle will not appear directly in the arena, they sit in the private room on the second floor to watch the battle, where there is not only a unique spirit array, which can transmit ten games of real-time battle at the same time, and after the game is over, those elders will find the rookies they are optimistic about and hand out olive branches, and those rookies will hope to become the registered disciples of these elders, of course, there are many disciples in the inner sect itself who have already worshiped under the elders of the sect.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but look at the ceiling above his head and muttered: "As long as I can win the first place in this competition, I think there will be Xu family elders coming to the door, and at that time, I will have hope to see Yanyan." β
At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, and a beautiful woman in white walked into the hall, and everyone who saw her was talking.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but be curious, pricked up his ears to listen, he had the ability to listen, and quickly heard the content of the people in the distance clearly.
One person said: "See, that's Sai Feixia, who won the first place in the last qualifying battle, Senior Sister Sai, I'm afraid she will win the first place again this time!"
The other person said: "Well, it's really hard to say this time, because no one knows where another dark horse will be killed, and the second-place Senior Brother Conte is not an idle person." β
"yes, isn't that the case for every ranked battle?"
At this moment, a third person came over and said, "Hehe, your news is outdated, this time it will not be Sai Feixia or Kong De who will win the game, but someone else." β
"Oh, are you talking nonsense, you know the result before the game even starts?"
"Don't worry, listen to what I say, as far as I know, there will be two descendants of the top ten families participating in this ranked battle. β
"Make no mistake, why do the descendants come to compete with us? They all grew up with golden spoons, what do they want, and they still want to come here to fight with us?"
"Hehe, those two people are Xu Liyan of the Xu family and Li Shaobai of the Bai family, and the reason for their participation is said to be a gambling fight. β
......
"What! Xu Liyan and Li Shaobai are coming to compete!" This news is tantamount to a bombshell for Zhan Chen. He hurriedly turned around and searched through the crowd, hoping to find Xu Liyan's figure from it, but found no trace.
Just when he was restless, a red shadow appeared at the door, and Zhan Chen immediately recognized that it was Xu Liyan!
Just goodbye to seeing the beauty again after that, Zhan Chen couldn't suppress his excitement in his heart, he walked forward directly and shouted, "Yan-Xu Liyan." He originally wanted to call it a nickname, but there were too many people in the hall at this time, and if he called it that way, it would definitely attract the attention and speculation of others.
Xu Liyan also spotted Zhan Chen almost at the same time, her eyes were shining, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was obviously excited, but both of them tried their best to restrain it.
Xu Liyan adjusted her emotions a little before revealing a smile that she thought was appropriate, and said, "Zhan Chen, long time no see-"
"Yes, it's been too long!" Zhan Chen said meaningfully, and after a pause, he asked curiously, "Why did you come to participate in the competition?"
"I-" Xu Liyan was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, and her eyes moved to the door, where Li Shaobai's figure appeared.
Li Shaobai saw Zhan Chen and Xu Liyan together again at a glance, thinking of Xu Liyan's indifference to him recently, he suddenly became angry, walked over quickly, and said to Zhan Chen: "Wow, Zhan Chen, I finally saw you again, do you know? I have been looking for you for a long time, but you are like a nasty mouse and disappeared in the ground, I thought you had run away, and I never dared to come back, I didn't expect that today, let me see you again!"
Zhan Chen immediately understood, the reason why he said this was probably because Li Jun Yuanshen ran back to explain to him that he had killed five of his subordinates in a row, so he asked with a smile: "How is Li Jun?"
Li Shaobai's face turned pale, and he muttered, "Zhan Chen, if I want to kill you, it's as simple as crushing an ant." β
Zhan Chen smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I won't die, I'm going to completely defeat you here today, do you believe it?"
"Defeat me? Just you? Do you know what you're talking about? You only have a mid-level cultivation in the Ming Fa, what can you do to defeat me?" Li Shaobai said word by word.
"Zhan Chenβ" Xu Liyan also looked at him with a worried look beside him, obviously worried about him.
Zhan Chen threw an encouraging look at her, looked at Li Shaobai again, and said, "The game is about to start, it won't be long before you know why?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shaobai's eyes, and he said, "Isn't it possible that you want to use your spirit beast?" I advise you not to fantasize, the rules of the ranked battle are not allowed to use spirit beasts. β
Zhan Chen knew that he was talking about Cai Yuexin, so he replied: "Of course I know, I can still beat you all over the ground without using spirit beasts, and I won't be afraid of anyone in this competition!"
Li Shaobai smiled evilly and said to Xu Liyan: "Yanyan, is this the man you fancie? Not only does he have no strength, but even his brain is burned out." β
Xu Liyan looked at him coldly and didn't answer.
Li Shaobai said cruel words to Zhan Chen again: "Zhan Chen, this time you are dead, don't think about running away again!" After saying this, he took a few of his followers and left.
Seeing that he was far away, Xu Liyan asked worriedly: "Zhan Chen, are you okay, I know you are for me, but why are you showing up now? This makes it difficult for me to do itβin fact, everything can be solved by me." β
Zhan Chen patted her on the shoulder and transmitted to her: "Yanyan, believe me, your man is very strong and will not lose to anyone." β
At this moment, a loud voice came from the hall: "All people pay attention, now please ask the disciples who participated in the first round of the competition to quickly enter the various arenas, the competition will officially start in a quarter of an hour!"
