With the passage of time, there are more and more people in the square, and people from various forces in Qingzhou have gathered here, discussing today's competition with each other.

After a while, the people had almost arrived, and I saw that the forces in the square were close together, most of them were usually friends, and they gathered into small groups at this moment.

And among them, there is a group of people who are particularly eye-catching, this group of people are not very elaborately dressed, and they can also be seen that they are not very familiar with each other, but there are many of them.

Ye Chen guessed that this should be the hundred people who signed up alone, and looking at the past one by one, there are a few of these hundred people with excellent talents, and in Ye Chen's eyes, they can be regarded as the past.

And in the air above the huge martial arts platform in the square, there are ten more stands, and there will be ten elders in the Jiuxuan Palace to watch this competition, but until now, there are only three people sitting on those ten stands.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Ye Chen was still observing left and right, and at this time, a middle-aged man from Jiuxuan Palace flew into the air and spoke.

This sound was emitted through the purple qi circulating in the body, although it was not very loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly.

As the middle-aged man's voice fell, the square gradually quieted down, and people raised their heads one after another, listening carefully to the middle-aged man's next words, the competition was about to start.

The middle-aged man looked very majestic, his eagle-like eyes looked around, and after everyone was quiet, he continued: "I don't need to say much about why everyone came to Jiuxuan Palace today, and I am the necessary referee today." ”

After a pause, the referee continued: "Due to the large number of people participating in the competition today, the way of the competition is also different, and it is not limited to the traditional military duel, of course, I won't say much about the specific content.

Let me first talk about the rules of this first game, you must have seen these huge tournament platforms behind me, and you will be randomly assigned to these tournament platforms in a moment.

According to a rough count, the number of people participating in the competition today is 784, and when the number of people is eliminated to 300, it is the end of the first round. ”

As the referee's voice fell, the people who participated in the competition all gasped, 784 people were eliminated to 300 people, and the probability of promotion was not 50%, which was too amazing.

The reaction of everyone in the square fell in the eyes of the referee, and they also had a basic judgment on these people who had to participate, the elders all had the right to directly accept disciples, of course, it was basically not certain that they would directly accept disciples into the room.

However, there is still the possibility of accepting a registered disciple, and the master does not have any obligation to teach the registered disciple, while the registered disciple has to be respectful to the master, and some people cannot accept to be a registered disciple.

After all, a registered disciple has no status in the master's heart, who wants to treat others respectfully, but the other party will teach himself something when he is in a good mood, and he may not see him once a year when he is in a bad mood.

Of course, the vast majority of people will rush to the status of a registered disciple, although the registered disciple of the elder cannot directly become an inner disciple, and it is not easy to become a disciple of the elder of the Nine Xuan Palace.

Even if it is a registered disciple, after all, there is a chance to become a real disciple, of course, these registered disciples in previous years, and finally become a real disciple, there is not one in ten.

This middle-aged man, as a referee and an elder of the Jiuxuan Palace, has the same power to accept apprentices as those in the mid-air stands, and he observed the reactions of these people, that is, to exclude those who were cowardly.

No matter what the cultivation talent is, if the courage is too small, it is destined not to become a strong person, this is certain, if the courage is too small, he will hesitate in the face of opportunities, such a person, he doesn't feel that he needs it.

When the discussion in the square was a little quieter, the referee continued: "I believe you have also heard that the elders of Jiuxuan Palace will choose those who are destined to be your disciples, but most of them are registered disciples, and if you want to become a disciple, you have to continue to work hard." ”

With that, the referee once again observed everyone's reactions, with ecstasy on his face, and dismissed. In this way, there are only less than half of those who are qualified in his heart.

After all, many monks of this age can't be happy and angry, and after the next competition begins, the number of qualified judges will be less and less.

The rules of the first round have been introduced, the referee is waiting quietly in mid-air, only three of the ten elders in the stands have come, and when the remaining seven people have also come, today's competition can begin.

But a long time has passed, and the elders have come one after another, except for one stand.

"Damn, why haven't you come yet!" the referee cursed secretly, come over early, this competition can start earlier, and the rest of this person hasn't come so late, it must be deliberate.

"Big brother, you see that the referee's face doesn't seem right. Gu Suyang, who was on the ground, saw the referee's gloomy face, pushed Ye Chen, and spoke.

Ye Chen heard Gu Suyang say this, looked up at the referee, and saw that there was still a vacant seat in the stands in mid-air, and he knew it in his heart.

said with a smile: "There should be ten elders in Jiuxuan Palace watching this competition, one of them didn't come, this competition can't start, you see that there is still one empty in the stands, and this referee can only wait here, it's strange if you're in a good mood." ”

Gu Suyang nodded, he really didn't take it seriously just now, if Ye Chen hadn't told him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed the stands at all.

"How do I think that the remaining elder is deliberately late. Chen Hao said thoughtfully, I have to say that Chen Hao's mind is much more delicate than Gu Suyang's.

Ye Chen was slightly surprised when he heard Chen Hao's words, but he didn't expect Chen Hao's guess to be similar to him. Nodding his head, he smiled, "That's right, I think so too." ”

"But this elder came so late, isn't he afraid that Jiuxuan Palace will blame?" Bai Yu listened to the conversation between the three of them, and had some doubts in his heart, Jiuxuan Palace would definitely know about the situation here, this elder came so late, could it be that Jiuxuan Palace would sit idly by.

Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This competition is not so important to Jiuxuan Palace, and their purpose is just to see how strong the younger generation of the various forces in Qingzhou is now. ”

Jiuxuan Palace's recruitment of disciples today is just a pretense, they just want to see how the quality of the young disciples of the various forces in Qingzhou is, otherwise they will not only allow the disciples of the human realm to participate in the competition.

There are many human realm disciples of various forces, and compared to the earth realm, the human realm disciples are of course very weak, and through the human realm disciples, they can often observe the internal situation in this force.

Bai Yu was a little confused, and asked: "Why do you have to look at the human realm to see the strength of the young disciples, there are so many human realm disciples in each force, what can you see from this?"

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Gu Suyang and Chen Hao also looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.
