In the next few days, as long as Yuan Haonan and Yuan Zhiqing did not have a reception task, they would come to play with Xiao Jiu, and in a few days, several people were already very familiar with each other and introduced each other as confidants.

But the fat man disappeared every day, and he didn't know what he was busy with, Xiao Jiu didn't ask in detail, so he simply let him go.

The other eight counties of Helan Divine Kingdom: Jinyang County, Qingyang County, Beitian County, Xishan County, Tanglin County, Fuhai County, De'an County, and Shangyao County came one after another.

Xiao Jiu roughly observed that the strength of the players in the other eight counties was slightly higher than that of Fengnan County as a whole, no wonder Fengnan County would have memorized the title of 'Ten Thousand Years Old Nine', it seems that it is really worthy of the name!

Since that day, the Bao brothers have been here a few times, and Xiao Jiu has no choice but to be perfunctory, after all, his base camp is still on other people's turf!

The day before the competition, Sun Yu, the prince of the Phantom Sea, came to the post house and gathered the nine county marquis and the contestants in the 10,000-person hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Wang Xi is the host of this qualifying competition, the competition will start tomorrow in the Battle Emperor Palace Square, when the Emperor will come to the training, I hope you will fully show your strength at that time, and lay the foundation for the final ranking of the counties······!

The qualifying round of the nine counties is divided into a group round-robin and a final, and all players are drawn to enter ten groups, and the points system is used for round-robin, and the top two teams in the group enter the finals.

Finalists will first play a round of elimination, then qualify for 11 to 20 places, and finally play for the top 10 players.

The top 10 qualifying matches will be held inside the Battle Emperor's Palace, and the Emperor will come to observe and personally award prizes to the top 10 players.

At the end of the competition, the ranking of the nine counties will be comprehensively evaluated based on the points obtained by the contestants, and then the resource allocation of each county will be determined by the ranking.

At the end of the conference, the counties returned to their stations, and Hou Bao Buping of Zhennan gathered ten more players together.

"You have been in Fengnan County for three years, I hope you Tianjiao can go all out, Benhou and the people of Fengnan County will be grateful!" After speaking, he bowed to everyone, which was related to his own vital interests, and Bao Buping had to put down his value.

Then he instructed the guards to distribute ten Grandmaster-level Rejuvenation Pills and a jade medal for each of the ten people for the competition.

The next day, ten players, including Xiao Jiu, went to the Battle Emperor Palace under the leadership of Bao Buping, Hou of Zhennan.

"Haha~!Brother, I wish my brother a victory and success! I must come back with the first place!" Yuan Haonan patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Hehe~!, my sister is also optimistic about you!, I also have a reward for taking the first place!" Yuan Zhiqing also said with a smile.

"Sister, what kind of gift did you prepare? It won't be a 'fragrant kiss'! If so, you might as well cash it first!haha-"

"Phew~!Are you still my brother?"

······

Everyone came to the square of the War Emperor Palace, the War Emperor Palace at this moment has been renovated, surrounded by various colored flags, ten rings have been built in the center, and stands are set up around it.

The north stand is the main stand, about a zhang higher than the other three parties, and there is a dragon chair in the middle, which seems to be the position of the emperor of the sky, but it is still empty at this time, and the front row of nine seats has been filled, which is the position of the arbitration committee of the competition.

The arbitration committee consisted of nine people, namely the four god emperors of the Helan Divine Kingdom, the Wandan Building, the refining pavilion, the head of the headquarters of the Heavenly Spirit Business Alliance, Sun Yu, the prince of the Phantom Sea, and Wen Shaogong, the commander of the Black Flag Guard, of which Gongsun Yu also served as the host of the competition.

Gongsun Yu got up and came to the center of the main stand, pressed down with his hands to silence everyone, and then spoke: "The qualifying competition of the nine counties of the Helan Divine Kingdom officially starts today, and the Emperor Ao is invited to the stage!"

'Hula' rushed out from the backstage of the eight imperial guards, eagle-like eyes patrolled around, and after a while, he made a gesture to the back, and walked out from behind the Soaring God Emperor who was guarded by eight personal guards.

I saw the Soaring Heavenly God Emperor Long Xiang walking into the main stand, looking at his body more than a foot tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, exuding a fierce momentum all over his body, but his facial contours were very blurred, making it impossible for people to see his true face.

"Long live my emperor—" Everyone present stood up and bowed to the Soaring God Emperor.

The Aotian God Emperor came to the dragon chair, sat down calmly, and said, "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy~!"

Everyone sat down at this time, and the voice of the Aotian God Emperor rose again: "Nine counties Tianjiao, the qualifying competition starts today, I hope you will show your strength and strive for the interests of the counties, if there is a dispute in the game, it will be handed over to the arbitration committee for a collective ruling, this ruling is final, and there shall be no objections! Okay, let's start!"

The voice of the Heavenly God Emperor was not loud, but it was like a deafening sound of the Dao Heavenly Sound, and it reached everyone's ears accurately.

Then Gongsun Yu announced the official start of the group round-robin of the Nine Counties Qualifying Tournament, and the jade medals in the hands of each player were immediately activated, and the content displayed on the small nine jade cards was: Ring No. 9 and Three, indicating that he was divided into Ring Nine and the third to play.

Xiao Jiu said goodbye to the fat man and the others and got up and came to the ninth ring, and soon the others also came one after another and sat in the rest place set up next to the ring.

The ring here is set up to be larger and stronger than that of Pungnam, and the defensive formation is more advanced, and there is a projection jade bib opposite the seat, which can display the standings at any time, and only the names and counties of the contestants are displayed on it, which happens to be one person from each county.

At this time, a referee from a Martial Saint Realm powerhouse came to the ring, first checked their identities and whether the conditions for participation were met, and then announced the start of the game after confirming that they were correct.

A pair of players who won the No. 1 jade medal stepped into the ring and hugged each other to announce their names and surnames.

"Qingyang County Liao Qingfeng-"

"Ouyang Tianju of Xishan County-"

Liao Qingfeng has the fourfold strength of the Grandmaster Realm, while the opponent Ouyang Tianju is the fivefold strength of the Grandmaster Realm, and the two of them have their own names and surnames to seize the opportunity.

After more than half an hour, Ouyang Tianju finally got the best skills and defeated Liao Qingfeng to get three points for Xishan County.

Then the second pair of players appeared on the stage, Zao Wou-ki, an eight-fold strength player in the Grandmaster Realm of Tanglin County, and Wu Dengke, a five-fold player in the Grandmaster Realm of Qingyang County, the strength of the two players was very different, and after only a few moves, Wu Dengke was knocked out of the ring by Zao Wou-Ki and made a mess.

Xiao Jiu stepped into the ring, his opponent was the army of the South Gate of De'an County, the sixfold strength of the Grandmaster Realm, and the surface strength of the two was the same.

"The army of the South Gate of De'an County—"

"Fengnan County Tianjiuling-"

With Xiao Jiu's low shout, a red spiritual power luster appeared on his fist, and as soon as that luster appeared, a terrifying high-temperature airflow radiated.

This move is a combat skill in the 'Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique', and it has completely changed when it is used in the hands of Dragon Dust at this time, and the power is simply swallowing mountains and rivers, and even if the army of the South Gate is dozens of feet away, it can feel extremely huge pressure.

"The Flames Burn—"

With Xiao Jiu's loud shout, it was like a thunderbolt, and his fist carried a whistling wind, as if it was about to shatter the earth, and it was even more indomitable.

The audience suddenly exclaimed, the power he burst out was beyond everyone's imagination, and in their eyes, Xiao Jiu was like a humanoid monster.

Especially in the eyes of the South Gate army, he was more like a devil seeking his life, and that punch filled the heavens and the earth, and he was locked up to death.

This made him feel horrified, originally he only thought that Xiao Jiu was the same strength as himself, but his body was strong.

The South Gate army also has extremely terrifying combat experience, so even if Xiao Jiu showed such a strong strength, he still didn't let him take it to heart, he was sure that with his rich combat experience, he could easily torture Dragon Dust to death.

But Xiao Jiu's punch actually locked him up, and he couldn't dodge it at all, so he could only fight hard. Originally, locking is an extremely powerful divine soul skill, which is attached to one's own attack through powerful soul power, making it impossible for the opponent to dodge.

Xiao Jiu didn't leave him much time to think, and his punch, with a whistling wind, cut through the space and arrived in front of him.

The army of the South Gate didn't care about anything else at this time, and roared, the skin of his body was covered with a layer of earthy gray, and the terrifying momentum burst out, and he threw a punch with all his strength.

Boom –

A roaring sound came to mind, and everyone felt a sudden shock in the square, and then a figure was shaken away, slamming into the ring fence, only to make the formation on the fence flicker.

Poof-

The army of the South Gate spurted out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and his body was a little difficult to stand up slowly, which couldn't help but cause a burst of exclamations.

However, at this time, the army of the South Gate was extremely embarrassed, most of its clothes were in tatters, and their hair was scattered.

Through the messy hair, one could see that his face, covered with blood, was sliding down his cheeks and slowly dripping on the ground.

"Very well, you really surprise me, but don't think that you will win this way!" Although the army of the south gate was wounded, his voice was full of calm.

"You also surprised me, it turned out to be an earth-attribute martial cultivator!Continue?" Xiao Jiu said indifferently.

"Hehe~!Of course——"

A smile appeared on the face of the army of the South Gate, but that smile appeared on his blood-covered hideous face, which looked particularly gloomy.

Whew-

The army of the South Gate suddenly rose up with a sudden momentum, suddenly appearing in front of him, wrapping his whole body in layers, and forming a thick shield in front of him, and then his fist became as hard as black iron.

Xiao Jiu also looked at the South Gate army in front of him with a shocked face, and he immediately felt the indestructibility of the other party's barriers, giving people a feeling that they couldn't start.

"Hmph~!Come and don't be rude, you can also take my punch and try it?" said the South Gate army with a sneer.

Boom –

The army of the South Gate was like a fist like black iron, carrying majestic spiritual power and thick earth attribute elements, and it roared.

Xiao Jiu didn't let it go, and he also blasted out with a punch at great speed, and the fists of the two sides collided together, suddenly stirring up a huge vortex of spiritual power, which continued to spread around.

Boom, boom –

The South Gate army relied on the heavy defensive advantage of the whole body to launch a continuous attack on Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Jiu had to bombard frequently.

At this time, in the ring, I only saw a gray patch, and I couldn't see the movement track of the two at all.

The confrontation just now actually made Xiao Jiu's fist a little painful, which shows that the earth-attribute martial artist is really good at defense.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a tricky stubble in the first game, Xiao Jiu suppressed the surprise in his heart, and his mind spun rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.
