There were a lot of people shouting in the square, and before the competition even started, the people waiting outside were already noisy. Yang Long had a general understanding, and the bets prepared were limited to two, one was the winner of the first place in the competition, and the other was the son of the city lord of Mocheng. As for the odds of the bet, Yang Long didn't know if he didn't see it, but most people shouted to buy a small landlord to win, and the odds should not be low.

The son of the city lord is the little landlord that Yang Long once heard that is less than ten years old, the strength of the small landlord has reached the level of the second seal master, and he is also at the same age as Yang Long and the others. A guy who has reached the level of a second seal master before he is ten years old, everyone has to admit that this guy is indeed a genius.

For a challenger like Yanglong, even if it is hung on the panel, it is estimated that no one cares. In their eyes, the most promising is the leader of the mercenary group. It was less than an hour before the start of the competition, but the names on the registration board did not increase. Taking advantage of this time period, Yang Long and Xiaodong are learning the rules of the competition.

This is not a life-and-death duel, so since the tournament was held, no one has had an accident. The competition stipulates that the person who finally stands on the competition field is the winner, and no one shall interfere or obstruct the competition. Of course, you are not allowed to bring any weapons on the playing field, you can only rely on your own strength. For the regulation of this age stage, to be honest, it is very unfair to Yang Long and the others, after all, if the age is twenty, the awakening of the Heavenly Mandate Mark will at least be more than ten years longer than them. Therefore, there is also a strict rule in the competition, that is, the contestant's own strength must be at the low-level imprint stage.

"How is this low-level imprinter stage distinguished?Why didn't the white-bearded old man tell us?" Xiao Dong stared at the wooden plank and thought seriously, but when he looked at Pang Hu, his face was stunned, and his whole face couldn't help but darken.

"Uh-huh. Oh! I see!" I saw Pang Hu's eyebrows furrowed, looking at the rules on the board very carefully, and nodding his head from time to time, as if he understood.

Xiaodong stabbed Yang Long, and said quietly, "Brother Yang, I remember that this product doesn't know how to read." ”

I have to say that even Yang Long doesn't know much about what a low-level seal is. Whitebeard only told them about the approximate ranks, they only knew that the seal master was divided into three stages, the first order was the human seal master, the second order was the earth seal master, and the third order was the heavenly seal master. And the relationship between a low-level seal and a second-level seal made the three of them confused.

Just when the three of them were looking at the contents of the wooden board with bitter faces and worrying, a voice suddenly came from their side.

"After opening the Mandate Seal, the first Mandate Seal grows into a sealer. There are low-level, intermediate-level, and high-level printers. Each sealer is divided into ten levels according to the user's ability, which is the source of the so-called low-level second sealer. A crisp voice rang in the ears of the three Yang Long, explaining them one by one.

After a long time, Pang Hu reacted, he rubbed his eyes that were a little dizzy, and found that there was a figure standing next to him at some point, he was startled on the spot, and suddenly shouted, "Wow, who is this?"

The person who came was dressed in a gray robe, with a brown hat on his head, his face was covered and his true identity could not be seen, and his neutral voice made it impossible to tell whether the person was a man or a woman. However, there is one thing that makes Yang Long and the others embarrassed, that is, the height and age of this guy, no matter how you look at it, I feel that this guy should be about the same age as himself. Yang Long secretly touched the sweat, "This guy is pretending to be deep in feelings, obviously a little brat." ”

However, Yang Long didn't care much about the origin of the visitor, he had been paying attention to the strange guy in front of him since just now. Yang Long found that this guy was also here to participate in the competition, and when he signed up just now, he saw the guy on the platform with an excited look, and it is estimated that the guy on the platform knew that this guy's strength should not be low.

Yang Long was not an eventful person, and now he was only interested in that level. Looking at the mysterious guy in front of him, Yang Long asked calmly, "What about the Sealer, and who determines the distinction between these ranks?"

Under the gray robe, he couldn't see any expression of the visitor, but Yang Long could feel that he was looking at him, and he was soon deeply attracted by the visitor's words.

"Those who have just awakened the seal of the Mandate of Heaven are called sealers, and before becoming a human sealer, the sealer must be promoted from the lowest, middle, and higher ranks before they can begin to be promoted to a sealer. However, each level is divided into ten levels according to individual abilities. That is to say, to be promoted from a low-level imprinter to an intermediate level, you have to upgrade ten levels, which is the low-level second-level imprinter mentioned earlier, and after the low level, there is the intermediate and high-level. In the end, he can become a human seal master admired by the mainland. It can be said that the sealer and the seal master are completely divided into two worlds, and the guys on the continent distinguish the two into two worlds. ”

Yang Long listened carefully to this new hierarchical division, which was similar to the old man's simple theory of the strong. Although the old man only said three levels, it is possible to distinguish so many small details from those three levels. This meticulous hierarchy cannot be planned by a single person or sect.

Saying this, Yang Long was relieved. The son of the city lord is also a low-level second-level sealer, and the next stage of the initial formation of the sealer is a first-level sealer, so it is speculated that the son of this city lord does not have much cultivation. There is also a guy on Yanglong's side who is a fledgling Heavenly Mandate Mark, and the difference between the two is only two levels, and it is estimated that the gap will not be very large. Yang Long looked at Pang Hu, whose muscles had gradually bulged, and secretly rejoiced that even if he couldn't win the first place in this game, then the second and third should have a chance!

However, Yang Long underestimated the gap between the ranks.

Although the figure under the gray robe is not very old, when he speaks, he is a little old-fashioned, and I saw him continue, "Chucheng, Sealer, Sealer." Only the Initial Heavenly Mandate Mark does not need to divide such a detailed combat power, so at this stage, it can directly step into the ranks of the sealers. However, when a sealer enters the seal, he has to go through a very strict practice, and after the high-level sealer, he is respected as a human sealer. This series of divisions was announced by the Divine Seal Temple, and was included in the Tenth Chronicle of the Continent. ”

"Divine Seal Temple?"

Yang Long muttered this name suspiciously, this name was somewhat familiar in his memory, he seemed to have heard it somewhere. Thinking about it suddenly, he was relieved, isn't the Divine Seal Temple just Whitebeard getting drunk every night, nagging the name in his dreams?

"Could it be that Whitebeard has something to do with this so-called Divine Seal Temple?" Thinking of this, Yang Long lost his mind for a while.

After the gray-robed guy finished speaking, he sat down not far from Yang Long and the others. As Yang Long fell into deep thought, the atmosphere here suddenly became a little awkward, and Xiao Dong and Pang Hu looked at the mysterious little guy in the distance from time to time, not knowing what they were communicating. Obviously, these two simple-minded creatures don't care about this division of strength.

"Hey, muscular man, you said this guy is a man or a woman!"

"Looking at his figure that is not convex in front and behind him, I guess he is a man. ”

"People wear such large robes, you can see ghosts. ”

"Otherwise, I'll know if I go up and pull out his clothes. ”

"Huh. It's a good idea...... "However, before Xiao Dong dared to laugh, a chill came from not far away, and the temperature around him began to drop suddenly, and two cold lights seemed to be isolated from under the hat of the gray robe on the opposite side.

Xiao Dong shuddered suddenly, and his smile froze on his face.

"Knock knock" However, at this moment, a cold bell rang not far away, hanging back and forth on the tower not far away. After the bell rang, the noisy square suddenly became silent. And the cold air that was approaching Xiaodong gradually converged, which made Xiaodong quietly relieved.

After pulling Pang Hu, who was still staring at the gray-robed man with unscrupulous eyes, Xiao Dongpi said with a smile, "The competition has started, I think it's better to forget it." Right? Hehe. ”

After the bell rang, a very magnetic sound echoed over the square.

"Welcome to visit the annual ring match, hello everyone, I am Brother Sharp, and I am also the referee of this year's Sharp. ”

"I won't say much about the requirements of the competition in previous years, and everyone knows this very well. Let's start with the number of participants this year! But I'd like to ask for your permission to sell it here. In previous years, the number of applicants was only ten, but this year, although there are a few more than in previous years, it still has not broken through the 20 mark. It's a bit of a shame, but don't be disappointed, and I look forward to getting everyone's blood boiling. ”

"I have a little secret to tell you here, if you can guess how many contestants are under the age of 10 this year, this competition will probably be more interesting. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and before anyone appeared, everyone's appetite was aroused. Yang Long also had to praise this guy, he didn't talk nonsense at first, and his style of getting straight to the point has always been loved by everyone.

As for the age of the contestants, everyone felt that the younger the better, after all, if a group of little kids were messing around, it would only make a joke. Therefore, the children who play here are full of confidence and talent, after all, the opponent they meet may be a guy who is dozens of years older than themselves, and their strength will naturally not be weak, and they will not dare to come up if they don't have some strength.

Of course, Yang Long actually knows that this is just a remote town, and the people in the town are living hard by instinct, so there are very few strong guys in this kind of place. Those who can reach the rank of sealers are called rare geniuses, even if they meet one or two sealers who are more than the lower ranks, they are all guys of the older generation, so this kind of competition will be held.

Even if there are one or two strong people in their twenties once in a while, they will either have difficulties in life or are in urgent need of money, otherwise they will not compete with a group of children. To put it bluntly, this kind of competition is used to select talents, and it is also a competition to tap qualifications.

The crowd in the square was full of discussions, and everyone was waiting for all kinds of speculation around them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was pushed up**, the crowd was a little impatient, and at this time, a very female voice came from the stage, accompanied by an ethereal, fairy-like figure appeared in the square, which suddenly pushed the atmosphere to another level again.

"Quiet, please be quiet. Now, let's slowly witness the miracle! Here, I announce the official start of the 10th competition. ”
