Not long after Ling Yun came out of the room, the Roman Sword Master, the Cong Ye Sword Master, and the Luohe Sword Master who had a broken arm immediately rushed from the palace to visit Ling Yun.

Roman Swordsman and Cong Ye Swordsman also had a slight friendship, and Ling Yun did not refuse.

When the Roman Swordsman and the others walked into the meeting room, they immediately noticed the abnormal aura emanating from Ling Yun's body now, and they were shocked in their hearts.

Although they had already heard the news that Ling Yun would definitely be able to break through to the Great Sword Master realm within five years, they could not help but sigh in their hearts when they saw it with their own eyes now. After all, Ling Yun's terrifying growth speed is obvious to everyone!

"Congratulations to Your Excellency Lin Cheng for successfully breaking through the realm and being promoted to the Great Sword Master!" Roman reacted from his shock, and was the first to congratulate him, and the other two also came back to their senses after hearing his words, and congratulated one after another.

However, although the three of them had a look of joy on their faces, there was a faint trace of sorrow between their eyebrows.

"You don't have to be polite. Ling Yun motioned for the three of them to sit down, and after the maid served tea, he didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "The three of you are visiting, but is there something wrong?"

The three of them nodded, and Cong Ye stood up a little stiffly, first bent down deeply, and made a big salute to Ling Yun, and then said loudly: "Your Excellency Lin Cheng, five years ago, you promised your juniors that when the Sword Fighting World Conference was held, you would be willing to fight on behalf of our Purple Cloud Empire. I wonder if you remember this?"

Five years ago, Cong Ye had advised himself to carefully conceal the secrets of the mystery-level sword skills, and at the same time proposed to let him represent the Purple Cloud Empire in the Sword Fighting World Conference, he naturally remembered.

Seeing Ling Yun nodding, Cong Ye, Roman and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

"You're here for this?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Lin Cheng, a year ago, a divine metaphor had been descended from the Imperial Temple, announcing that the Sword Fighting World Conference would be held in a year's time, and ......" Speaking of this, Cong Ye paused, and said in a somewhat awkward tone: "And the elimination rules of this Hundred Years Competition!"

"Elimination rules? Isn't the rule of a big competition every 100 years different?"

"Your Excellency Lin Cheng, you guessed right, since the Centennial Competition was held, there have been hundreds of historical records, and there have been a total of nine rules in hundreds of competitions. This year's Centennial Contest is exactly one of the nine rules, and there has been a cruel rule for artifact rewards! This rule has appeared a total of four times, but three artifacts and a ninth-order holy weapon equivalent to a quasi-artifact have appeared in four times! And three eighth-level civilization empires have been created!"

"I thought there were four artifacts. ”

"In this mode, if the winner is an eighth-order holy sword master, it may be an artifact. However, in the end, it was a ninth-order powerhouse who won the championship, and he had no choice but to miss out on the artifact! But only the ninth-order holy weapon was not much worse than the three eighth-order artifacts. It is precisely because of the existence of this ninth-order holy weapon that the position of the world's number one power in the Glory Empire has been determined!"

Ling Yun was silent for a moment and nodded: "Danger and opportunity coexist! Cruel rules mean rich rewards. Tell me, what kind of rules are being announced this time?"

"Deathmatch!"

As the name suggests, this rule will be full of blood and death.

Ling Yun frowned slightly: "Let's be specific." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Lin Cheng. Cong Ye paused, and directly moved out the words that were estimated to have been prepared for a few days and said: "The elimination rules of the death match are one of the three cruel rules, in this kind of rule, only the competition scene is divided into three sword masters, great sword masters, and holy sword masters, and any sword master who participates in the competition can sign up for one of the three major scenarios according to their own strength." Moreover, the low-level ones can be reported, but the high-level ones can't be registered!!"

"Three major scenarios...... What do you mean that in the Sword Master scenario, the First-Order Sword Master will compete with the Third-Order Sword Master?"

Cong Ye nodded: "This is exactly what the deathmatch elimination rule is known as one of the three cruel rules! In each scene, there are a thousand promotion tokens and a hundred point slots, scattered in various eye-catching places in the scene. A year later, the scene is turned on, and everyone is teleported back, among which only those with promotion tokens are eligible to enter the preliminaries, and after the preliminaries, there will be finals to win the championship!"

When Ling Yun heard this, he was immediately surprised.

You must know that if the swordsmen in this world are counted in a cage, they are definitely countless, I am afraid that except for the gods, no one knows the true number of swordsmen, but it will definitely not be less than 100 million! 100 million swordsmen, participating in the Sword Fighting World Conference, is definitely more than ninety percent, that is, ninety million. A full 90 million sword masters, to compete for those 1,100 promotion places?

Putting aside the strong swordsmen, even the powerhouses of the Great Sword Master level in the entire world are definitely no less than 100,000! 100,000 Great Swordsmen, that's a 1 percent chance of promotion!

"One out of a hundred people may be promoted, and it seems that those swordsmen and great swordsmen who are in the early and middle stages are going to suffer. Doesn't this kind of rule force the early and middle swordsmen and great swordsmen to death......"

"That's not the cruelty of the deathmatch rules. Your Excellency Lin Cheng, do you know where those 100 extra points came from?"

"Isn't it also a type of promotion token?"

Cong Ye shook his head, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "The point token, also known as the death quota or the killing quota, his way to obtain it is very simple - kill! Every time you kill a contestant, accumulate one point, which hundred contestants end up killing the most, it is the winner of the point quota!"

"Pass the Killing Points!" Ling Yun's expression froze, the Holy Sword Master Scene and the Great Sword Master Scene were quite good, but what about the Sword Master Scene? 100 million Sword Masters competed for 1,100 promotion places!? He could almost predict what kind of bloody storm would be set off in that Sword Master Scene!

"The artifact is extraordinary, and only under such cruel competition rules will there be artifact-level rewards!" Ling Yun sighed lightly and said in his heart: "The sword monarch in this world, Silent Streamer, doesn't seem to be some benevolent and righteous lord. However, in this situation where there is not the slightest foreign enemy, only bloody killing can create a real powerhouse!"

Cong Ye also nodded with emotion: "I don't know which empire is lucky enough to have this artifact or super holy weapon." ”

"Artifact...... It must have the power of the fairy sword. But it's still far away. ”

Cong Ye sighed for a moment, and continued: "When the three scenarios are decided for 1,100 places, after a year of rest, they will enter the next preliminaries scene again! The final 110 people will enter the third round scenario, the third scenario is the finals, and the rules of each final battle are slightly different, and no one knows yet. ”

"It seems that this deathmatch mode will make many low-level swordsmen and great swordsmen retreat. ”

Roman Swordsman chuckled, "That's not necessarily. The competition scene is very huge, if you are lucky enough to find a promotion token, and then hide it immediately, from being discovered, you will also have a chance to advance! If the rules have not changed like this, with the luck of the sky, maybe he will be able to win the championship in one fell swoop and become the first person to win the championship of the Centennial Competition with a first-order sword master. ”

"Is that okay?"

"Lord Lonely Liuguang, the Monarch of the Sword, once said that luck is also a part of strength, and many times luck is still above strength!Of course, the premise is that you have this kind of luck!" Speaking of this, he shook his head: "It is impossible for a first-order sword master to join the Holy Sword Master scene, but a fifth- and sixth-order great sword master may not have no chance. Historically, there have been such lucky people. It's a pity that they didn't make it past the preliminaries in the end. ”

"Why is that?"

"In that promotion scenario, the Divine Texts are unrestricted, that is, they can use the Divine Light of Positioning. Positioning the divine light, the higher the opponent's strength level, the greater the amount of merit consumed. If it is a great sword master, their status is noble, and they also have a lot of merits, they can apply for immunity to locate the divine light, so that others need to spend a sky-high price to determine his location. If you don't find out, you naturally have a chance to be promoted. But the swordsman ...... The consumption of the Divine Light to determine their location is simply negligible for the Holy Sword Master, and they do not have enough merit to apply for Divine Light immunity. Even if those children of big families have someone to help them with their merits at all times, how can they compare to the Holy Sword Master?"

Ling Yun nodded and didn't ask any further.

He understood why Cong Ye and the others were a little worried when they were happy when they learned that they had been promoted to Great Sword Master, and it wasn't because they were afraid that they would be discouraged after learning about such a cruel competition model?

However, now that his sword soul has been completed, he is about to enter the exploration stage of the sword god realm, and it is not a wise choice to meet the real masters of this world!

And...... Sword and Soul ...... That was the foundation of the holy weapon and the artifact, and now he didn't have a sword to take advantage of at all! Although the power of the sword soul condensed was extremely terrifying, it could not be damaged in the slightest. Therefore, using blood as a sacrifice to quench a magic sword containing a sword spirit, is not a way, with a sword soul, as long as you pay attention to moderation, what kind of waves can you toss out?

Besides, if the mutated spirit consciousness that contains phantom attacks is to grow, it seems that it also needs the resentment of the deceased swordsman......
