Zhou Yu, who was in my mind, said with great emotion: "It is said that the Xuanzi Sword of the year, the reward for the first place, is only a blue-level weapon, it seems that in the past so many years, the strength of this Qingyun Kingdom has been much stronger than before!"

And at this time, seeing the people below, the fighting spirit had been completely ignited by himself, the emperor smiled slightly, put the long knife back into the brocade box, and then signaled the imperial guard to retreat, and then smiled, and said loudly: "In addition to weapons, there are other rewards, but again, I won't say more, just leave you a suspense." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor turned around and sat back on the dragon chair, and spoke again: "Moreover, I have made slight changes to the rules of the competition this time, and the specific rules of the competition, when you go to your respective temporary rest spots, there will be special officials to send them to you." Okay, that's all I say, the game is about to start in the afternoon, you're running out of time, go get some rest first, I'm looking forward to your performance!"

In the end, the emperor got up slowly, and the queen and those concubines also got up immediately, followed closely, followed by many imperial guards and palace maids, and the group walked towards the palace in the distance.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

At that moment, the civil and military officials standing there, as well as the surrounding Praetorian Guards, as well as the commanders of the Praetorian Guards, as well as the people who were watching from a distance outside the altar, all knelt on the ground one after another, shouting slogans loudly, the momentum was huge, and it was extremely shocking.

And the various sects gathered in the square also bowed slightly, although there was no need to kneel, but we must also bow slightly. It stands to reason that we also need to bow down, but now it's the Xuanzi Sword, we are guests, so we don't have to bow down.

However, when I saw the people around me, kneeling there in the black press, I was also shocked beyond words, this is the majesty of the royal family, this momentum, this pomp, no wonder in ancient times, so many people wanted to be emperors! The so-called Ninety-Five, the lord of all things in the world, how many people dream of the status symbol.

After the emperor left, the Praetorian Guards, who stayed behind and were responsible for maintaining order, temporarily brought us sects into various rest points! The rest points were in the altar, and the altar was also the venue for our competition!

After entering the altar and seeing the scene inside, although I had prepared in my heart, I was still deeply shocked by this incomparably vast venue.

Inside the altar, there are hundreds of playing fields, each of which is the size of half a football field. Moreover, around each venue, there are white marble railings besieging the city, on which some special runes are depicted, and at the edges, some simple isolation formations are deployed to prevent the people inside from competing fiercely, and their skills and strength will leak out and hurt the spectators.

Around each venue, there are more open-air circular viewing platforms, as well as referee platforms, which are more divided into, ordinary viewing platforms, and sectarian viewing platforms. The ordinary viewing platform is naturally a place for the people of the capital of Qingyun Kingdom to watch the battle, and the sect viewing platform is a place for the disciples of this sect to watch when they are fighting here.

Therefore, each competition venue is not only well-equipped, but also full of grandeur and magnificence, and hundreds of competition venues are added together like an incomparably grand labyrinth.

As we entered our sect's resting place, we passed by the arena and saw this magnificent scene, and I was almost speechless in shock.

As soon as we arrived at the rest place, an official walked in, took out a roll of paper, handed it to Cheng Xuan and Su Ziyan, and explained that this was the rule of the Xuanzi Sword Discussion this time.

Seeing the kind of rolling paper that only existed in ancient times, as well as the serious expressions of Cheng Xuan and Su Ziyan, these new disciples such as Shang Shan and I were extremely excited and nervous. And Yun Zhen and Ye Feng, as well as Chen Yumo, these old disciples who had participated in the past, were indifferent, and seemed to be no longer surprised by everything here.

Soon, after reading the rules on the rolling paper, Cheng Xuan and Su Ziyan's expressions were extremely dignified, especially Cheng Xuan, who frowned tightly at this time, and after taking a deep breath, his eyes swept over us, and he said in a low tone: "Sure enough, as the emperor said, this Xuanzi Sword is different from usual, and a literary test has been added." ”

"Literary exam?"

As soon as Cheng Xuan's voice fell, we, the disciples, were all stunned.

Speaking of this, Su Ziyan pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "This time Xuanzi is on the sword, but there is a big change, the competition is divided into three stages, the first test, the literary test, and the palace test, the first test is the competition between the disciples of various sects, and if you win, you will immediately enter the literary test, and after the literary test is passed, it will be the palace test, and the palace test is the emperor, and you will test your strength in person." If you pass, you will be in the final finals! The top 10 will get a reward!"

"Master, what is this essay test, it won't be for me to write an article, then I'll be miserable, I used to have a headache as long as I saw a book!" At this moment, as soon as Su Ziyan's words fell, Shang Shan said to Cheng Xuan with a bitter face.

At the same time, Yun Zhen and Zhang Wanting, as well as several other disciples, were also bitter, and it was obvious that they did not have much confidence in this article.

Chen Yumo and Ye Feng, on the other hand, had calm faces, as if this essay test was not very difficult for them.

And at the moment, I am also the same as Shang Shan, with a confused face.

Nima, what era is this, and it's still there
