Xia Yan nodded while listening, and understood in his heart. As the cave master Zhong Yuan said, the cultivator who competed for the quota last time was originally the best among the cultivators under the Heavenly God Realm of the Star Dou Palace. They have entered the secret realm to cultivate for a hundred years, and although they have not been able to break through in the end, the progress in strength is inevitable.

And now, this method of competition is relatively fair. Because according to the current rules, some cultivators who won the quota in the last secret realm assessment also have a great chance of encountering, so they will inevitably be eliminated, giving those cultivators who have not entered the secret realm a great chance.

"Xia Yan, as long as you are lucky not to encounter those cultivators with particularly strong strength, then there is hope for competing for a place to enter the secret realm for cultivation. Zhong Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Xia Yan felt that at the moment when the cave master Zhong Yuan was far away, he swept through many of the strongest cultivators present.

The strongest part of the cultivators may not be able to win the quota.

"I understand!" Xia Yan's eyes lit up, he took a breath and nodded.

Xia Yan also knew that if it was just about strength, then he was now equivalent to a relatively powerful late-stage ninth-level Spirit Emperor realm, and even the ninth-level Spirit Emperor at the peak of the general peak was stronger than himself. However, his attack artifact is of a very high grade, and he can have a certain advantage in attack power. In addition, he can condense spiritual power to attack, which can also have a surprise effect.

"The evolutionary supernatural power that the hall master gave me may also play a surprising role!" Xia Yan turned his thoughts in his heart, making plans.

"Okay, you go back, prepare well, this battle is about to begin!" Zhong Yuanyuan waved his hand to Xia Yan and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xia Yan responded, then turned around and flew back towards the location of Guo Sanqi and the others.

"Stay away, how did Xia Yan kill the Qing Spirit Body in the Tower of Babel?, what method did he use?"

Zhong was far away, and with a turn of his eyes, he told Wang Ming, Wang Su and others what Xia Yan said to him.

As for Hongdong Mo and the others, even if they were curious at this time, they naturally couldn't pull their faces to ask. Besides, even if they asked Zhong Yuanyuan, Zhong Yuanyuan would not be able to tell them the situation.

However, Hongdong Mo did not shut up, but looked at Zhong Yuanyuan gloomily and said, "Zhong Yuanyuan, do you really think that Xia Yan can compete for the quota to enter the first-level secret realm?"

What Zhong Yuan said to Xia Yan just now, they naturally heard it clearly.

"Why not?" Zhong Yuan asked with a smile.

I also admit that the Xia Yan kid has some means, but if he wants to compete for the twenty places to enter the secret realm, it is impossible for him to do it. I dare to say that this time in your Immortal Wind Cave, there won't even be a single cultivator competing for a place. And my Lupo in Lishui Cave is sure to win a spot. Hongdong Mo said proudly.

There are a total of twenty quotas, excluding Yang Qiuyun Group, Wan Luo and other personal disciples, as well as those cultivators who have not joined any forces, the cultivators of the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens will not be able to win more than ten places in total. In other words, it may take five or six caves to win a place to enter the first-level secret realm.

"Hehe, that's not necessarily!" Zhong Yuan was not angry, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he just said casually with a light smile.

.................................... "Xia Yan!"

"What did the cave master say when he asked you to come over?" Xia Yan had just come back, and Guo Sanqi asked curiously. The other cultivators also looked at Xia Yan.

There were three people who passed the selection in the Xianfeng Cave, but just now the cave master only asked Xia Yan to go over, of course they were curious. Especially Guo Sanqi and Du Wei, there are countless thoughts turning in their hearts.

"I didn't say anything, just told me about the rules of the battle, which are the same as the rookie strength assessment. Xia Yan immediately smiled and said to everyone.

"Oh, that's it! Well, the rules of this battle are indeed the same as the rookie strength assessment. Guo Sanqi nodded, his brows slightly furrowed.

These people, all of whom are extremely talented, are certainly unwilling to easily admit that they are inferior to others. Seeing that the cave master Zhong was far away from Xia Yan's favor so much, they naturally had some emotions in their hearts. Xia Yan is also very clear, so between words, he cleverly avoids these.

Just when everyone was still talking about which cultivators would win the quota in the end, Elder Moko, who had just left, appeared in everyone's sight again, hanging in the sky thousands of meters away.

From the time he left just now, about half an hour has passed.

"All cultivators who have entered the second stage of the battle, please go to the center of the square. The rest of the cultivators could leave on their own, or they could go to the periphery of the square to watch the battle go on. Moko's majestic voice, rolling down from the sky, with a feeling of soul power, made everyone's hearts tremble slightly.

"Let's go, we're going to the middle of the square now, and we're going to draw lots. Guo Sanqi said quickly to Xia Yan, and his figure quickly turned into a streamer and shot towards the center of the square.

Xia Yan also followed. Streamers quickly gathered in the center of the challenge square. Most of the two hundred cultivators were expressionless, solemnly looking at Elder Moko not far away.

"Below, there will be a draw. I think you all know the rules of this battle, so I won't say more about it here. The battle was also supervised by our Star Dou Hall Supreme Elder Kong Han Taishang Elder himself. No one is allowed to use any illegal means. If this is the case, once discovered, you will bear the consequences!" At the end, Elder Moko's voice also suddenly sharpened, and his eyes swept towards the two hundred cultivators who were about to fight.

"The lottery begins!

With Elder Moko's soft snort, around his body, there were two hundred more black tokens, all of which were engraved with clear handwriting, surrounding Elder Moko's body, rotating rapidly, vaguely as if even the space was about to be cut off, you can imagine how fast it was.

Even with Xia Yan's eyesight, he couldn't make out the handwriting on it at all, and other cultivators couldn't make out it at all. Elder Moko's strength was about the same as that of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Cave Masters, and he was naturally much stronger than these ninth-level Spirit Emperors.

"Everyone, draw a token!" Elder Moko's thick voice seemed to form a substantial energy, pressing on everyone, making people dare not disobey, and they all grabbed one of the tokens.

"According to the rules of the newcomer's strength assessment, then ...... The two hundred cultivators were probably divided into twenty groups in total, and each group had ten cultivators. The number one in each group is the initial champion, and then the cultivators in the back continue to challenge. The last champion is the one who has obtained the quota to enter the secret realm!"

"It doesn't matter which set it is, as long as you draw the last number, it's the best. Xia Yan secretly thought in his heart, the other cultivators naturally had similar thoughts. Even a cultivator like Yang Qiuyun didn't want to draw the number one.

The difference in strength between these cultivators is not very large, and if one of them is not good, even a cultivator like Yang Qiuyun may be defeated. For cultivators with similar strength, if they want to distinguish the winner from the loser, they are likely to be affected by some other factors, such as the restraint of the secret method of supernatural powers, the will of the cultivator, and so on!

"Hiss~"

A slight sound of breaking the air came, and as Xia Yan's spiritual power surged, a black token was caught by Xia Yan in his hand. As soon as his eyes froze, Xia Yan immediately saw the handwriting engraved on it.

These tokens are not made of crystals that store information. Those crystals that store information, spiritual power pours into them, and the handwriting will be reflected in the air, of course, it is not suitable for use as a lottery. On this token, there is a raised handwriting that is directly engraved.

"It's the first group, number nine!"

Xia Yan read out the handwriting on the token slightly, and his face was slightly happy. It's not ten, but it's a nine, and it's better than most people's luck.

"Xia Yan, are you the ninth?" Guo Sanqi immediately saw Xia Yan's token, and there was an abnormal look on his face.

"Yes, Guo Sanqi cultivator, what number are you?" Xia Yan turned his eyes to look at Guo Sanqi.

"I'm number three in the seventh group, alas, bad luck! I don't know if it's going to be ...... I hope I don't run into the strongest wave. Guo Sanqi shook his head and said with a sigh.

"Well, I don't know how many groups they are now, so I can only wait and see. Xia Yan nodded, his gaze swept and he saw the numbers on the tokens of many cultivators, and he also saw a few first groups.

"That Yang Qiuyun, the token number is two groups. ”

"Wanluo cultivators are in the eighth group. ”

"Hmm, that cultivator is also the number of the second group. Xia Yan saw that the cultivator beside Yang Qiuyun was also the second group. He and Yang Qiuyun are a group, so the two of them will definitely encounter, and in the end, only one person can compete for the place to enter the secret realm.

"The first group, is there any strong one?" After Xia Yan swept it, he saw several cultivators in the first group, but he didn't find the strongest group of cultivators. Of course, some cultivators had already put away the token, and Xia Yan couldn't see it.

"Forget it, I only need two fights anyway. Xia Yan's eyebrows twitched slightly, then stretched out again, and relaxed his whole body to think.

...... "Now that everyone has obtained their tokens, please stay in the ring with the number one of each group, and the rest of the cultivators will come behind me first." Mo Ke said in a deep voice, his aura was already locked on the twenty cultivators in each group.
