Ji Zhengyue pulled Qi An, called Xiang Fang and Qu Han, and the four of them went to Yanwutang.

There are many people in the usual Yanwu Hall, but today it is even more crowded, nearly 200 students almost all came, plus a few teachers and twenty or thirty stewards, more than 200 people gathered together, and the people were full of voices.

Yanwutang is not a building, but a field, in the middle is a wide square stone platform, three feet high from the ground, the length and width are nine zhang, there are step-like viewing seats built around it, there is no decoration on and off the stage, it looks simple and rough.

The game started at Chenshi, and Fan Ming, the chief steward, presided over the stage, and he first gestured to the surroundings to keep quiet, and the voices of the people watching the table suddenly became much smaller.

Fan Ming first explained the specific rules of the game, and then asked the ten champions to take the stage.

Ten men and women climbed the stone platform from all directions and lined up in the order of the standing positions given by Fan Ming.

This order does not indicate the level of strength, but rather the order in which they have achieved the title of champion in the season, for example, the first place on the left of the first month, the second place on the left of the second month, from left to right, and so on, and the tenth month is on the far right.

Starting from the left, Fan Ming gave a brief introduction to the name and age of each champion one by one, and did not disclose any extra information.

The first one on the left is a young woman, very handsome, with a very calm temperament, her name is Li Hongluo, she is twenty-five years old, and her weapon is a double sword.

Qi An couldn't be more familiar with the name Li Hongluo, every time he went to the Alley of Life and Death, he would see this name appear on the list publicly, and it was also the second place in the prefecture-level list, but it was the first time he saw a real person.

The second on the left is a young man with messy hair, with a messy beard on his chin, a knife on his waist, and his facial features are actually quite handsome, but he is unkempt and feels a little sloppy. His name is Murong Qing, he is twenty-three years old, and he is also a ruthless person on the prefecture-level list, it is said that he has not been admitted to the hospital for a long time, but as soon as he came in, he broke through the prefecture-level life and death alley, shocking the entire backer branch, I am afraid that the background and origin are not simple.

The third place is a big fat man with a smile and a little rich, holding an iron abacus in his hand, looking like a market businessman, but in fact he is a very powerful peak martial artist, his name is Huang Jue, the third place on the current human level list, and his age is a little older, thirty-six years old.

The fourth person is named Qiao Zheng, the same age as Huang Jue, also thirty-six years old, a bald man with a wooden expression, carrying a square shield on his back, and no other weapons are seen. This person's name has also been on the human level list, even before Huang Jue, but unfortunately he was squeezed down by the people behind him a few months ago.

The fifth Bu Feng, twenty-six years old, the weapon is unknown, as thin as a bamboo pole, only skin and bones remain, it is the top of the human ranks, the results of the five breaths have always shocked Qi An and others, no one in the entire backer branch can do it, obviously a master with extreme speed in the body.

The sixth person is a middle-aged man, with a moderate figure, not fat or thin, ordinary facial features, his appearance is not good, and he has a public face that people forget when they see it, this person's name is Chai Qiao, forty-two years old, relatively old, even if he is an older student, but he is also the fourth place on the current human level list, and he can't even see what a weapon is.

The seventh place is a short, square-faced man, his arm muscles are tangled, thicker than his thighs, he looks a little top-heavy, and he has a pair of three-hundred-pound sledgehammers in his hands, which is almost invincible, and he is now the second in the human ranking Wang Sheng, who is thirty-one years old.

The eighth is even more bizarre, just like an old farmer in the countryside, wearing a simple gray linen shirt, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, a hoe on his shoulder, and a tattered straw hat on his head. But the vast majority of people present today know him, after all, he is too famous, and he has also been on the list of people, he is Wu Laoshi, nicknamed "Old Farmer", with an old face full of wrinkles, in fact, his real age is less than forty years old, only thirty-nine.

The ninth is a thin man with a sallow yellow face and cold eyes, triangular eyes, a hooked nose, a little bald on the top of his head, and a little hunched back, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. This person's name is Wei Ying, thirty-five years old, is a very withdrawn personality, very bad temper of the veteran student, it is said that he has been in the backing branch for a long time, for more than ten years, but has been low-key and cultivated, rarely appeared in the ring.

The last one was a middle-aged woman, plump, middle-to-top, and there was always a smile on her face, which seemed to be very hospitable and warm. This person's name is Sun Sanniang, who happens to be thirty-three years old, and has just risen to the fifth place on the human level list not long ago, and his weapon is a meniscus knife that he is carrying upside down.

At this point, after all the ten champions were introduced, Qi An suddenly thought of a question, so he asked Ji Zhengyue: "What about Gongsun Riyue? Why is there no Gongsun Riyue among the ten?"

Gongsun Riyue is the first person on the prefecture-level list, and it is said that he is currently the strongest person in the entire backing branch, and he has defeated the early stage monks of the Condensation Realm, and his strength is unfathomable, and it is impossible to even get the title of champion.

Ji Zhengyue quickly gave an answer: "It is said that Gongsun Riyue is a cultivator, he rarely shows up in front of people, and he doesn't care about anything other than cultivation, so he has never participated in the ring at all. ”

Qu Han also said: "If Gongsun Riyue also comes to the ring to join in the fun, then there is no need to compare, no one can beat him, just award the championship to him, save trouble!"

Qi An'an thought that too, for a perverted martial sect like Gongsun Riyue, who was able to cross a realm and defeat a cultivator in the early stage of the Condensation Realm, he did have the capital to be proud of, and he should disdain to participate in this kind of ordinary competition.

The next step is to start the official competition, according to the rules, first divided into five groups to fight the team, and the winner will advance to the next round.

The rules of pairing are 1st vs. 10th, 2nd vs. 9th, 3rd vs. 8th, 4th vs. 7th, 5th vs. 6th, and the same goes for the order of battle, with one group finishing and the next group continuing until the five winners are determined.

Before the first competition began, Qi An asked Ji Zhengyue and them, "Who do you think can be the chief champion?"

Ji Zhengyue replied first: "Needless to say, it's either Li Hongluo or Murong Qing, and everyone else has no fun!"

Xiang Fang agreed: "Indeed, except for Gongsun Riyue, there are only two names on the prefecture-level list, Li Hongluo and Murong Qing, and the strength of these two people is said to be not weaker than that of ordinary early stage cultivators of the Qi Condensation Realm, and they are obviously much higher than others, so the ownership of the champion should be generated between these two." ”

Qu Han said: "It should be Murong Qing, Murong Qing gives me the feeling that it seems to be more powerful than Li Hongluo." ”

Ji Zhengyue retorted unconvinced: "I said that it is Li Hongluo, she is the second on the list, one place higher than Murong Qing's ranking!"

"You can't say that!" Xiang Fang shook his head and said, "The results of the two of them on the prefecture-level list are almost the same, which shows that each other's strength is very close, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses." ”

Among the four, Xiang Fang was the oldest and had the most calm personality, and it was not easy for Ji Zhengyue to refute what he said, so he turned his head and looked at Qi An: "Fourth, what do you think? Who will win?"

Qi An shook his head and smiled: "How do I know? I haven't seen these people make a move, whether they are powerful or not, I heard what you are saying, don't come to ask me." ”

In a few words, the arena was ready to start fighting, except for Li Hongluo and Sun Sanniang, the other eight champions and the chief steward who presided over the event all left the ring, leaving only two women standing in the middle of the field, looking at each other from afar.

Only two of the ten champions are women, and they happened to meet in the first game, which is also a highlight.

Needless to say, Li Hongluo is famous, a beauty, and extremely popular, while Sun Sanniang is older, but her charm is still there, her appearance is not bad, and she has some supporters and even admirers.

Before the two girls started fighting, the audience was already shouting, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Li Hongluo is wearing the black leather armor of the Qianqing Academy, her hair is tied into a braid and coiled behind her head, the whole person is heroic, calm, quite chivalrous, two short swords with a length of one foot and two inches are pinned horizontally behind the waist, and the hilts are facing left and right, which is convenient to pull out of the sheath, but looking at her calm and relaxed appearance, she obviously does not take the opponent very seriously, and it is still unknown whether to draw the sword.

Sun Sanniang was wearing brightly colored satin clothes, her face was slightly powdered, and she was holding a meniscus knife in her hand, looking at Li Hongluo at the other end of the ring, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, as if she was smiling, but in Li Hongluo's eyes, her smile was a little stiff and unnatural.

Li Hongluo hooked her fingers contemptuously and said, "Come on, I'll let you make three moves." ”

Although Sun Sanniang, who was looked down upon, was angry in her heart, she didn't dare to slack off at all, and said in a playful voice: "Sister of the Li family, the sword has no eyes, but be careful!"

After saying that, Sun Sanniang stepped forward, and the meniscus knife in her hand splashed several knife lights like water, all of which slashed at Li Hongluo.

As soon as this move came out, he knew that Sun Sanniang was indeed a master, and he was by no means a vain name, the knife was fast and dense, and the knife light was intertwined into a large net, like mercury pouring towards the other party's position, and the overwhelming knife light sealed the space of Li Hongluo's body, and it was almost unavoidable.

I didn't see Li Hongluo draw her sword to parry, only to see her standing figure flickering very strangely, and the big net woven by the sword light penetrated through her body, slashing in the air, but Li Hongluo stood in place as if she had never moved.
