After introducing the "Three Elders", Alpha's following words attracted everyone's attention, especially the attention of many contestants on the south side of the school field.

"In addition to the championship honor and prize money, the winner of this conference will also become a disciple of the Great Elder, and will also have the opportunity to compete for the next candidate for the Great Elder. ”

For a moment, the eyes of all the contestants were focused on the Great Elder, who was sitting at the top of the VIP seat at the moment.

The Great Elder's expression was still unwavering, and he still had the same smile on his face just now. As if the person in Alpha's words just now was not him.

Seeing that the Great Elder did not say anything, everyone turned to the Elder of the Arles, who was still standing in front of the VIP seat at this time. The head of the court of Arles also did not say a word, and waved his hand to call the two attendants to carry a sword stand and place it on the left side of the VIP seat, and strangely enough, the sword stand was empty.

Just when people were secretly speculating about its intentions, the Great Elder who was originally sitting at the top was already standing by the sword stand at this moment. And the most surprising thing was that the Great Elder, who had been sealing the sword for more than thirty years, actually had a sword hanging diagonally on his waist for the first time.

The dark scabbard looks dull, but it gives people a dignified and simple feeling. On closer inspection, the scabbard faintly glowed with a layer of red shimmer, and what was carved on it was a dragon, a legendary creature in the east of the continent. I saw that it was coiling around the entire scabbard, and the dragon's mouth was just biting the swallow of the sword. And the most amazing thing is the length and width of the sword itself. An ordinary sword is about two inches wide and about three feet in length, while a heavy sword is lengthened and widened to a certain extent in length and width, and it is necessary to hold the sword with both hands. The scabbard of this sword is less than an inch and a half wide, and the length is about five feet, which is a foot longer than an ordinary heavy sword.

As far as the entire continent is concerned, even if it is the continent's premier sword-casting pool, located on the Tianshan Mountains in the north of the continent, I am afraid that no swordsmith can forge such a sword. The reason for this is simple, the longer the blade, the easier it is to break, and to increase the length of the sword, you must first increase its width. The appearance of this sword is completely reversed, not only is it amazingly long, but it is only two-thirds the width of a normal sword. If it wasn't a scrap sword, it must have been a divine sword forged from a special material, and the swordsmith who could forge this kind of sword must be a very outstanding figure in his own right.

Just as the Great Elder untied the long sword at his waist and prepared to place it on the sword stand, a crisp and tactful voice that should belong to a woman sounded.

"Great Elder, wait!"

A woman stood in the corner of the VIP seat, with a slender figure and a beautiful face, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on and off the stage. This beauty is none other than Zhao Yi, the wife of Bai Yunqi that Li Yuxuan had seen in Baifu.

"Can the little girl take the liberty of asking?"

Zhao Yi bowed slightly at the Great Elder, which could be regarded as a "greeting".

This move immediately aroused questions from Li Yuxuan in the audience.

As far as I can see, Zhao Yi is definitely a gentle and understanding woman. In the face of an octogenarian man, it is already inappropriate to drink so categorically, and it is even more rude to only bow his head slightly to say "hello". On the other hand, his expression not only did not have the slightest apology, but gave people a feeling of asking for guilt.

The Great Elder still had a smile on his face, not caring at all about Zhao Yi's offense and faux pas.

"May I ask what the Great Elder is holding in his hand, the Coiling Dragon Ancient Sword!"

Although Zhao Yi's words were questioning, her tone showed that she had already decided that the sword in the Great Elder's hand was the Panlong Ancient Sword she was talking about.

The Great Elder, who was originally smiling, changed his face when he heard the three words of the Panlong Ancient Sword. The atmosphere became quite solemn for a while. The Great Elder stared at the beauty in front of him for a long time, slowly raised the sword in his hand to his chest, and nodded slightly.

"As far as the little girl knows, the Panlong Ancient Sword is a thing of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Family, and somehow it will fall into the hands of the Great Elder, can you please explain one or two things to the Great Elder!"

In the face of Zhao Yi's aggressive tone, the Great Elder not only did not get angry, but even the trace of sternness on his original face faded. Turning to face the others in the school field, he raised the sword in his hand and said, "The winner of this conference will be able to keep this sword and officially become my disciple." Although the voice was not high, it was made with a fighting spirit, which made the entire school field hear it clearly by nearly 30,000 people.

Zhao Yi's face became very angry in an instant, and he was about to ask another question, but the words of the Great Elder came from his ears.

"Your grandfather has been looking for you for a long time, he knows about this sword in my hand, and he arranged today's incident. ”

Zhao Yi's originally angry expression disappeared without a trace at once, and was replaced by two flushes that welled up on his cheeks. Sit down gently under the unexplained gaze of the people around you.

Just now, the Great Elder was using a mysterious oriental martial art, the "Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission Technique". The principle is to use the fighting spirit to condense the sound into a line, and send it into the other person's ears, but the people around him cannot hear it. But although this kind of martial arts sounds simple, it must actually be based on profound martial arts cultivation, otherwise it will be like a castle in the air, and there is no way to do it. And it is said that martial arts cultivation is the highest level, although it cannot transmit thousands of miles, but it can still be done within a hundred miles, and now Zhao Yi is only a dozen zhang away from the Great Elder. But just looking at this cultivation, it is enough to shock the world. From this alone, it can be seen that the name of the Great Elder is not a rumor.

As soon as the Great Elder's words fell, the entire school field was suddenly in an uproar, and the contestants were all thinking about how sure they could be of winning this conference. And the audience is debating which player will win the award.

After the Great Elder placed the Panlong Ancient Sword on the sword stand and returned to his seat, Alpha cleared his throat in front of the noisy crowd on and off the stage and continued:

"The rules of the conference will be announced below!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, and their eyes were focused on the old dean, and they listened attentively.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Alpha smiled slightly, quite satisfied that his words had such an effect.

"There are 256 contestants in this conference, and they will be divided into four groups and compete in four rings in the west. The competition adopts a knockout system, and four players from each group will be selected to participate in the final round, that is, the preliminary round will go through four rounds. The final of the last 16 contestants will be held on the stone platform in front of the VIP seats, and the 'Three Elders' will serve as the judges. The rules for the finals will be announced at a later date. Now all the contestants are invited to draw their own numbers from the two wooden boxes in front of the stage, and the numbers from one to sixty-four are the first group, and so on. ”

I saw that the contestants in the southern district were lined up in two rows under the supervision of the Guards, and their numbers were drawn from the two wooden boxes.

By the time the matter was almost arranged, it was almost noon.

After Alpha announced that the tournament would officially start in the afternoon, the VIPs and their competitors, as well as a large number of spectators, left the venue. As they walked out of the school grounds, everyone was still excited, discussing the series of honors that the winner announced by the Great Elder in the morning would receive, and speculating about the situation of the afternoon competition.
