(3rd to ~~)

Time passed, and quietly another few days passed, and it was already the day of April 20th.

At noon, Duan Chen, Mishi, and Ji Jin squatted under the huge tree in the cultivation retreat, drinking water and nibbling on jerky.

"Brother Duan, it's almost May, I heard that in May, the operating company of the Ancient Era will hold the first Ancient Players Tournament, Brother Duan, will you go to participate in this tournament?" Ji Jin chewed the jerky and asked Duan Chen beside him.

"It's April 20th today?" Duan Chen was a little stunned.

"Yes, it seems that Brother Duan, you have cultivated so seriously that you have even forgotten what day it is." Ji Jin replied to Duan Chen in a somewhat exaggerated tone.

"Didn't pay attention to that." Duan Chen shook his head, and at the same time frowned slightly, if today is really April 20th, then there are only 10 days left until May, and I don't know if in these 10 days, my withered forging technique can be cultivated to the consummation realm, so that his strength can reach the peak of the innate realm!

"Brother Duan, you haven't answered my question yet, are you going to participate in this Ancient Players Tournament?" Ji Jin asked Duan Chen again.

"Go." Duan Chen replied very simply, his memory is very good now, even if it is something he saw a long time ago, he usually will not forget it, but he clearly remembers that when the game company promoted this so-called 'First Ancient Players Tournament', the rewards listed by the game company can no longer be described by the word 'rich', even if it is described as 'extremely rich and huge rewards', it is not an exaggeration!

At that time, the rewards announced on the official website of the game company were as follows:

1st place: 2 prefecture-level exercises, and get the qualification to go to the 'Ancient World' for a 10-day tour!

2nd-8th place: 1 prefecture-level exercise, and obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm of most of the ancestral spirits for 7 days!

9th-16th place: 1 prefecture-level exercise!

17th-72nd place: 3 Xuan-level exercises!

The 3 Xuan-level exercises from the 17th to the 72nd were honestly not very attractive to Duan Chen, but the ground-level exercises that were rewarded before the 16th were extremely attractive to Duan Chen! As far as he knew, in the Ancient World, as long as they were not members of the big tribe, or had made extremely outstanding contributions to this large tribe, then players could only buy exercises at and below the Xuan level here at most for cultivation!

As for the ground-level exercises above the Xuan level, under normal circumstances, even if you have more ink stones on your body, you can't buy them!

Because of this, this time, the 'First Ancient Players Competition' held by the game company, according to Duan Chen's estimate, will definitely attract almost all the players in the ancient world to participate! After all, whether it is a ground-level exercise, or the qualification to enter the Ancestral Spirit Secret Realm for 7 days, it is too attractive, as for the reward of the first place, the qualification to go to the 'Ancient Realm' for a 10-day tour, although Duan Chen doesn't know what benefits are contained in it, but since it is a reward that can only be obtained by the first place, it must be more rare than the qualification to enter the Ancestral Spirit Secret Realm for 7 days!

In fact, the reason why he doesn't ask about the world these days, he only cares about penance, and even spends a lot of ink stones, rents a medium-sized meditation room, and also uses spirit stones to assist when he is practicing the withering and forging technique, Duan Chen also wants to improve his strength as much as possible in these days, and prepare for the 'First Ancient Players Competition' announced on the official website as early as possible!

After all, even if others don't know the special features of the game, they want to try their best to improve their strength in order to win a good ranking in the tournament, and he, since he has already learned so much about the inside story of the game, will not give up the rich remuneration in the tournament!

Just when Duan Chen's thoughts were a little divergent, Mishi, who was squatting beside him, was also a little silent, and after a while, he suddenly said: "This time, I will also participate in the Ancient Players Tournament." ”

"Stone, you want to go too?" Ji Jin was obviously a little surprised.

"Well, I want to give it a try, although I also know that with my current strength, the possibility of participating in this tournament and entering the top 72 is almost zero, but I still want to try it, after all, after so many days of penance in this expensive medium-sized ashram, I am not willing to try." Mishi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Ji Jin was also silent, and after a while, he said: "Okay, since you are also going to participate in this Ancient Player Tournament, then in May, I will also participate in it and have fun, but I still want to be honest, among the three of us, Brother Duan will definitely be able to rush into the top 72 and compete for those attractive rewards announced on the official website of the game. ”

"Yes." Mishi nodded, and after pondering for a while, he looked at Duan Chen and said, "I predict that Duan Chen, you can at least rush into the top 16, if you are lucky, or if your strength is improved, you can even rush into the top 8!" ”

"Stone, you are similar to what I think, I think so too, our Brother Duan is so strong, rushing into the top 72 should be a sure thing, and the possibility of breaking into the top 16 is extremely high, even if it is the top 8 in the competition, it is also possible to enter!" Ji Jin also nodded in agreement.

Whether it is Mishi or Ji Jin, they are full of confidence in Duan Chen's strength, after all, Duan Chen's strength is not blown out by himself, but has passed the test of time! After all, it is not possible for any player to call the strongest player force in a large part of the country with the power of one person, and finally achieve a successful feat!

Duan Chen just shook his head and didn't speak, he raised his head and looked at the round of tomorrow that came out of the virtual sky in the sky, his eyes became as bright as tomorrow, in fact...... If he goes to participate in this competition, his ultimate goal will only be to be the first! Because he has hole cards, he has a magic trick! It's just that he will only keep this goal in his heart and will not say it.

Because whether it is Mishi or Ji Jin, although they all have absolute confidence in his Duan Chen's strength, they have never compared him Duan Chen with Xu Weiliang, the first person on the Hanshan list, because subconsciously, they feel that although Duan Chen's strength is very strong, it is absolutely impossible to be stronger than Xu Weiliang, Xu Weiliang's undoubted strength and terror have been deeply engraved in the hearts of all players in the ancient era, even Mishi and Ji Jin, who have a close relationship with Duan Chen, are no exception!

In the afternoon, Duan Chen did not use his innate strength to nurture his eyes and improve his proficiency in the Heavenly Eye Powers as usual, but sat cross-legged, and after being stunned for a while, his mind sank into the space of knowing the sea.

"Ren Xin, your soul has almost recovered so far, right?" Duan Chen asked Ren Xin, who was sitting cross-legged next to Xiao Shu. (To be continued.) )
