Since everyone's atmosphere has also eased up, Lu Hongren continued to speak, "Now that everyone has understood our intentions, I now announce that the competition for the position of hall master has officially begun." After finishing speaking, Lu Hongren also sat back in his seat again. Everyone in the audience was also enthusiastic again, and they all rubbed their hands as if everyone was eager to try, but unfortunately this event has a limited number of places. Of course, with the departure of the host on the stage, a huge competition platform also appeared in front of everyone's eyes. At this moment, the majestic and slightly chilly competition platform is waiting for the contestants to enter. After all, it has to witness victories and defeats one after another, and of course, it may also witness the death of cultivators. With the fall of the competition platform, Ling Feng also had a little curiosity, this was the first time he saw the competition platform that was moved out as a whole, you must know that the competition platform he had seen before was all improvised. However, Ling Feng could see from the eyes of everyone in Guan Zitang that it seemed that it was a normal thing for a martial arts platform to appear out of thin air. Of course, when Ling Feng was confused, he also looked at Lu Hongren, and his eyes revealed a look of hope that the other party could answer his doubts. Lu Hongren also felt Ling Feng's eyes, so he sent a message to Ling Feng, "Brother Fenglin, I know that you must be very confused about this martial arts platform, and I will take you to the backstage after the game starts, and then I will help you answer this doubt."

In that case, Ling Feng also waited for the host on the competition stage to announce the start of the competition. Soon the host on stage announced the start of the primaries. As the host's figure retreated, two young juniors also boarded the competition stage. As for Lu Hongren, he also left his seat and came to Ling Feng's side, the same as what he said before, Lu Hongren took Ling Feng to the direction of the backstage. After the two of them came to a place where no one was, Lu Hongren said to Ling Feng: "You can see that you were very concerned about the competition platform that appeared out of thin air in your eyes just now, in my opinion, it is indeed normal." You know, when I went out to practice, I was also surprised when I saw that the competition platform was built improvised for the first time, after all, the competition platform I saw when I was a child is the kind you just saw." Hearing this, Ling Feng was a little puzzled, since he was a child? Doesn't that mean that the age of this martial arts competition is at least older than Lu Hongren. So Ling Feng raised the doubts in his heart, "Dare to ask the Third Elder, when did this martial arts platform appear here, its role is not just for cultivators to compete in martial arts, right?" Lu Hongren, who heard Ling Feng's question, also thought for a while, and then said, "Since I became conscious, in my mind, this martial arts platform seems to only have the role of a martial arts competition for cultivators, but in my opinion, it shouldn't be that simple. I still remember seeing a passage in an ancient book, and I don't know if it describes this competition."

Ling Feng also asked tentatively, "I wonder if the third elder is convenient to inform the juniors." Lu Hongren glanced at Ling Feng and then said, "It is written in that ancient book: There is a hinterland in the forest, where there is no sunlight all year round, and the ground is full of cold things, if a cultivator enters it, he will often withdraw because he can't stop the cold air, and if he doesn't come out of it within three hours, he will be frozen to death because he can't resist the cold air. This is what is recorded in the ancient books." Ling Feng was confused and asked, "Then on what basis did you deduce that the events recorded in this ancient book are related to this martial arts platform?" Lu Hongren continued: "This has to talk about a mysterious experience I had before. In fact, what I just told you is incomplete, and someone later made up for that strange thing based on what happened afterward, but the part of the completion was lost in the long river of history for some reasons. By chance, I also got that part of the incomplete record. It is recorded that a powerful man passed through this place, and when he saw it, he took a keen interest in its wonders, so he studied it deeply, and finally after some careful investigation, he found a mysterious object hidden in the void, and then the man subdued it by some means. With the subjugation of the mysterious object, the wonders of the region have since disappeared and returned to normal. As for the strong man, there is no record in the follow-up records. However, according to some of the information handed down by our Guanzitang, it should be concluded that the strong person who appeared was Lu Yan, the first hall master of my Guanzitang, and of course that mysterious object was the martial arts platform."

As for what information it is based on, Ling Feng did not inquire carefully. However, Lu Hongren didn't hide it too much, and said: "In fact, in the eyes of our elders of the past dynasties, it is very likely that the martial arts platform is a spiritual weapon left by a certain powerful person, and in my opinion, the grade should not be low, and it is very likely to reach the spiritual level or above, but because no one has ever been able to tame it, this speculation has never been verified." I hope that one day in the future I will have the opportunity to see the true owner of this so-called spiritual artifact appear." After finishing speaking, Lu Hongren inadvertently looked at Ling Feng. I don't know why deep down he always thought that Ling Feng was the cultivator he hoped for. After listening to Lu Hongren's story, Ling Feng's attention was still focused on the martial arts platform. He began to think about the real role of this competition platform, because according to Lu Hongren's description just now, Ling Feng began to suspect that the role of this competition platform should be used for suppression, otherwise why didn't Lu Yan take it with him when he left here, but left it here, especially when this competition platform was not subdued, this place was like a dead land, just like the record of drought that Ling Feng had seen in his previous life. Therefore, in Ling Feng's opinion, maybe there was some big secret hidden under this land, and Ling Feng thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely delve into this underground. However, this matter is not the first thing Ling Feng should think about at the moment, what he has to think about is how he will deal with that opponent in the final final. Therefore, the most important thing for Ling Feng at the moment is to quickly watch the events on the martial arts platform, so as to figure out the specific martial arts techniques and methods of the opponent.

Then Ling Feng spoke, "Third Elder, I don't know if you have anything else to explain, if not, then I'll go and watch their competition, after all, knowing each other and knowing oneself can win a hundred battles." After hearing what Ling Feng said, although Lu Hongren was a little surprised, because he had long been accustomed to it, he said: "It's nothing, then Brother Fenglin, you go to understand the opponent, and by the way, learn about the top combat power of the younger generation of Guan Zitang." Just as Ling Feng turned around and was about to walk into the crowd, Lu Hongren suddenly said, "Brother Fenglin, I don't know how sure you are of winning this competition." Ling Feng was very surprised that Lu Hongren would say this, but after thinking about it, Ling Feng also felt that this situation was very normal, so he turned his back to Lu Hongren and made a gesture that was okay, and said, "Don't worry, Third Elder, when did you see me lose." After finishing speaking, Ling Feng also walked away, and by the time Lu Hongren looked at Ling Feng's figure again, he had already disappeared into the crowd.

At this moment, Ling Feng has also come to the front position of the competition platform, and Ling Feng came here to better understand the strength of the opponent. However, when Ling Feng came here, there were already a bunch of people on the competition platform who had started to fight, and from time to time, someone would be knocked out of the competition area from the competition platform. There was also a group of people around shouting a few names of their support, and Ling Feng could hear that the loudest of them were Lu Wangxi and Lu Zhixi. Ling Feng also muttered to himself, "It seems that these two people have the highest reputation among the younger generation." Originally, Ling Feng's attention was focused on Lu Wangxi, after all, Lu Wangxi's strength and means were not very clear to him. However, suddenly the battle in an area on the martial arts platform attracted Ling Feng's attention, because there was a group of cultivators surrounded there, and when he looked closely, he would find that it was Lu Zhixie who was trapped in the middle. However, the cultivators who surrounded Lu Zhixie cast their eyes on Lu Wangxi. At the same time, Ling Feng also learned from the mouths of the people around him that it turned out that this first round of the competition was in melee mode, and this first round of competition was not over until there were eight cultivators left on the stage, so it was obvious that this round of melee was used to directly finalize the top eight players. And it seems that the reason why those cultivators besieged Lu Zhixie was most likely instructed by Lu Wangxi, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to eliminate this Lu Zhievil from the first round.

Therefore, Ling Feng's attention was all focused on Lu Zhixie, and when Ling Feng looked at Lu Zhixie, he found that the other party's face did not show a trace of panic because of the appearance of this group of people, not only that, but also showed a longing look on his face. This made Ling Feng very curious, wondering if this Lu Zhixie had any unknown hole cards. However, Lu Zhixie really has hole cards, otherwise he would not be as tough as he is now, as for what the hole cards are, it is estimated that they will soon be revealed. After all, now that several people have begun to make moves, Ling Feng can see that they did not use any weapons and martial arts, they just simply used their bodies to launch a rainstorm attack on Lu Zhixie, and the fists of the six people fell on Lu Zhixie's upper body almost at the same time, because they did not cope with it for a while, Lu Zhixie was directly knocked out by this combined blow, but fortunately, Lu Zhixie's body did not fall outside the competition platform. Lu Zhixie, who came back to his senses, also quickly stood up, and at the same time, the six people also rushed in the direction of Lu Zhixie. It can be said that after Lu Zhiye just stood up, the six people came to him, and then they fell down with a combined force. However, the situation that everyone thought that Lu Zhiye was knocked out of the competition platform did not appear, because the combined force of the six people failed with one blow.

This not only surprised the six people on the stage, but even everyone in the audience was extremely shocked. However, only Ling Feng didn't show much shock, but despite this, Ling Feng couldn't help but say to himself in his heart, "I didn't expect this Lu Zhixie's progress to be so great." Maybe the others didn't see Lu Zhixie's movements clearly just now, but Ling Feng caught Lu Zhixie's body moving just now. Just when the six of them were about to come into contact with Lu Zhixie, Ling Feng saw that Lu Zhixie's speed suddenly accelerated and slipped out between the gaps where the six of them had not closed. At that time, Ling Feng found that Lu Zhixie's speed was no longer at the same level as those six people. After the six people reacted from the shock, they also looked in the direction of Lu Zhixie behind them, and one of them also said loudly, "Lu Zhixi, don't think that you are the only one who will flexibly use the power of our clan's inheritance, and we will too." After finishing speaking, a faint red power began to appear on the six people. After some comparison, Ling Feng could clearly find that the wind power on Lu Zhixie's body was obviously stronger than that of the other six, not only that, but Ling Feng also felt a slight sense of intimacy from the red power on Lu Zhixie's body, as if there were his own relatives among them. Ling Feng knew very well that the reason why he felt this way must be because Lu Zhixie had some power of the Murderous Qi Stone in his body.

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly remembered the murderous duel that the three elders had mentioned before, it was said that it was the second-ranked martial art in Guan Zitang. You must know that when Ling Feng and Lu Zhiye were fighting, they had tasted the power of this murderous qi duel, once the murderous qi was displayed, the cultivator could easily control the murderous qi in his body, and he could even make the murderous qi materialized, and during the last battle, Ling Feng could see that Lu Zhixie's murderous qi was already able to achieve basic materialization. Ling Feng thought to himself, it seemed that this Lu Zhixie's murderous aura was more freely used, if it weren't for the fusion of murderous qi stones in my body, I probably wouldn't have been able to see the murderous aura faintly revealed on his body. Ling Feng looked at Lu Zhixie with great interest, because in his opinion, the effect of this murderous spirit should not only be what he showed when he fought against Lu Zhixie last time. Perhaps Ling Feng would be able to find a trace of clues related to the Murderous Qi Stone from the Murderous Qi Decision.

At this time, the other six people did not notice the faint murderous aura revealed by Lu Zhixie's body, but what was different from before was that at this moment, the six people seemed to have learned shrewdly, and no longer used the power of the wind to attack recklessly, but displayed their own special martial arts to deal with Lu Zhixie. Facing the martial arts of the six people, Lu Zhixie was not too flustered, but directly used the murderous aura to condense a blood-colored broadsword that was not long or short, and then this blood-colored broadsword took the lead in slashing at the remaining six people. At the beginning, the blood-colored broadsword showed a scene of invincibility, and the martial arts conjured by the other six people were directly cut off as soon as they came into contact with the broadsword. Just when everyone was marveling at the power of the Great Sword, Ling Feng found that the true qi that had been cut off one after another had not dissipated or returned to the bodies of the six people. Instead, it slowly spread around the Lu Zhi Evil, as if it was about to surround the Lu Zhi Evil. Those True Qi eventually stopped at the six corners and slowly gathered again. At this time, Lu Zhixie seemed to realize that something was wrong, and kept figuring out the six corners of his body with his eyes.

After Lu Zhixie observed for a while, the true qi in the six corners had also been formed and stabilized, and then Lu Zhixie opened his mouth and shouted, "Not good." With the bad sound, the six dark red chains attacked towards Lu Zhixie, and in a moment, Lu Zhixie was firmly locked in place by the six chains. In fact, during this period, Lu Zhixie also made an evasion move, but every time he dodged, the chain would be reversed behind Lu Zhixie's back and wound towards him, because of this, no matter how fast Lu Zhixie was, he was finally locked. Seeing that his plan succeeded, one of the six people spoke: "Lu Zhixie, don't struggle anymore, when you recognize the formation used by the six of us, you are actually already losing." Although this person said this, Lu Zhixie still did not give up struggling, constantly twisting his body to try to get rid of the troubles of the chains. It's a pity that these chains show no sign of being shaken at all. The man spoke again and mocked, "Lu Zhixie, don't be delusional about escaping, you don't know the power of this Six Dragons Locking Qi Great Array, now you can't even use your true qi, and you still want to get out of this big array, isn't it wishful thinking." Don't worry, the six of us won't take advantage of the danger, as long as you open your mouth and say that I admit defeat, we will send you off the competition platform, otherwise you will wait for the true qi to be consumed and kicked off the competition platform by the six of us."

These words seem to be giving Lu Zhiye a chance, but in fact, they are punishing Lu Zhixie's cultivation heart. If Lu Zhiye personally said that he would admit defeat today, I am afraid that his future cultivation path would be even more difficult, if Lu Zhixie did not admit defeat, he would probably be humiliated by the other six people after the time came, which would also affect Lu Zhixie's strong heart. Although the eldest husband can bend and stretch, in Ling Feng's opinion, this sentence is not suitable for Lu Zhixie at all. At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly found that Lu Zhixie's face didn't seem to show any panicked expression, as if all this was still under his control. After a while, Lu Zhixie's evil smile once again attracted Ling Feng's attention, and then Ling Feng realized that Lu Zhixie's hand had already used his murderous aura to conjure up a faint blood-colored knife, and the position of the blade of the knife had already been aligned, a chain wrapped around his body. As the knife edge and the chain continued to touch, a small opening began to slowly appear on the chain's body. It was obvious that Ling Feng could feel that the blood-colored knife was filled with murderous aura, according to the previous six people's descriptions of Lu Zhixie, Ling Feng could roughly guess that the murderous aura did not seem to belong to the category of true qi, it could be said that it was somewhat similar to spiritual power, and it was a power at the same level as true qi. Moreover, Ling Feng also found that this murderous aura seemed to have an innate restraint on the entities conjured up in the Great Array.

After discovering that the murderous aura had an effect, Lu Zhixie did not stop the movements in his hand, but sped up a little. At this time, the six people were still discussing how to humiliate Lu Zhixie, and at this moment, a "click" sounded, and then the chain was completely broken, and with the breaking of the chain, the six people also realized that something was wrong again, so they hurriedly controlled the big array again and wanted to trap Lu Zhixie again, but Lu Zhixie had already rushed out of the big array with a blood-colored knife. Lu Zhixie also took advantage of the fact that the six people had not yet reacted and attacked them, and finally as the six screams sounded, the six figures were also kicked out of the competition platform one after another. By the time the six of them stabilized themselves in the audience, they were already in a state of confusion. Sure enough, in the process of fighting between the two sides, a trance moment is often the one that can determine the outcome of the battle. Similarly, with the six people flying out of the stage, the quarterfinals of this competition have been successfully produced, of course, this first stage is also completely over.
