There were ruins everywhere in the Shooting Sun City, and Zhou Yang and Bai Lian finally found a fairly complete inn and stayed for the time being.

After nightfall, Zhou Yang closed his eyes and recalled all the things that happened today.

Lao Chi's meaning is obvious, that is, in order to win over himself, it should not only be himself, the empire will also try its best to win over other surviving cultivators, after all, these are all people who have fought a hundred battles, and their hearts and strength have been tested by blood and fire, and they don't need to make great efforts to cultivate at all, so they can stand alone.

And for the current situation, everyone can also see clearly, the Fire Empire is extremely powerful, and has completely mastered the Sun Shooting City and the Spirit Vein Sand Domain, and even the Nine Secluded Land, and the future development space is even broader, and it is also a good choice to invest in the empire at this time.

Especially in the land of the Nine Shades, there is a city of nine shades, and everyone knows very well what the city of the nine shades represents.

But can the Empire agree to his own request?

After all, no matter how talented he was, he was just a beginner cultivator, how much weight could he have? If he aroused the anger of the other party, then the end would not be much better than becoming a mortal.

However, at this time, the determination had been made, and the words were spoken, so he could only wait passively.

After thinking about many possibilities, Zhou Yang fell asleep in a daze.

What he expected was not bad, in the next few days, many elites were persuaded by the empire and chose to actively take refuge, including many young Jindan masters, one of whom was only twenty-six years old!

In this way, Zhou Yang is only one of the target figures of the Fire Empire, and the weight is not very heavy.

Three days later, the Sunshot City Force Test officially began. Deputy City Lord Yan Qi presided over the test, and City Lord Yun Lizi attended.

Prior to this, it had long been rumored that among the prizes of this test, there would be a superior magic weapon.

Therefore, the elites of various factions and scattered cultivators who participated in this test reached tens of thousands, and the cultivation level ranged from the late Tianyuan period to the late Jindan period, and the enthusiasm for participation was very high.

The test is divided into two levels, one is the Jindan level, and the other is the Tianyuan level, and each level is divided into three links.

The first link is the challenge, that is, to set up two hundred competition platforms in the square of the city lord's mansion, guarded by two hundred champions, and others can freely come on the stage to challenge, and the final winner is the top 100 at each level.

The second part is a two-by-two battle, and then the top ten will be determined from a hundred people at each level, and the deputy city lord will award the award on the spot.

The last link is to determine the top three, and the city lord will award a heavy prize. The first place is even more honorable, and will be presented by His Royal Highness the Tea King himself.

At this time, in addition to the tens of thousands of people who participated in the force test, hundreds of thousands of cultivators came to watch the battle on the square of the City Lord's Mansion, and the scene was very lively.

With the order of the deputy city lord Yan Qi, the number one to the hundred of the two levels respectively stepped into the ring.

There are two different levels of rings, the size is also different, the Tianyuan level is about 200 zhang square, and the Jindan level is up to 600 zhang, and each ring is wrapped by a transparent light curtain, which is an extremely powerful defensive formation.

In the Tian Yuan level, the first batch of Champion Masters were all False Dan cultivators. As soon as these champions came to power, they frightened those Tianyuan peak and late-stage cultivators.

Because of the life and death of this test, almost no one under the fake pill dared to come to power.

The Jindan level is limited to the early and middle stages, and the later masters can arrange separate competitions.

And the first wave of champions at the Jindan level is also mainly in the middle stage, and those Jindan early stage cultivators, if they feel that they don't have the strength to kill people beyond the level, they will not dare to come to power.

As a result, although tens of thousands of people participated in the test, only one-tenth of them actually dared to go on stage.

There were many people who expressed their dissatisfaction with the unfairness of the test, but the rule-maker was the city lord's mansion, and it was useless for them to be dissatisfied.

And Zhou Yang saw this very clearly, the Fire Empire's move was to discover real talents, what they wanted was someone like himself who could defeat the strong with the weak, and defeat the same realm with the same realm, what challenge could this be.

And the empire has another purpose, which is to provoke contradictions between various factions.

The rule of life and death is bound to cause a large number of casualties, and whoever has relatives and friends will not be indifferent when they die, and this kind of competition can stimulate contradictions the most.

From the beginning of the test, Zhou Yang has been watching from the sidelines and has not been in a hurry to play.

The first to challenge the champion were all cultivators of the same realm without exception, so the battle was extremely fierce, and for a while, the swords and swords on the ring were coming and going, and there were screams from time to time.

Yun Lizi and the people from the City Lord's Mansion sat on the high platform, looking at the ring below, all with smiles on their faces.

At this moment, the fight in the No. 37 ring attracted Zhou Yang's attention.

The two people on the stage are both fake Dan cultivators, one is a metal physique, and the other is a fire physique. At first glance, the metal cultivator used Taoist Xuangong, but the fire cultivator's technique was very weird, elusive, insidious and vicious, and his moves were deadly, like a demon cultivator.

The strength of the two is equal, each has a thousand exercises, and the metal cultivators open and close, focusing on attack, and each style is very sharp.

The flame of that demon cultivator was extremely special, the color was pale, but the temperature was extremely high, and even a Dao soldier condensed by mana could be incinerated.

Bai Lian, who was beside Zhou Yang, stared at the No. 37 ring, and a gleam flashed in his eyes from time to time.

The two fought for hundreds of rounds, winning or losing.

"Bai Lian, in your opinion, who of those two can win?" Zhou Yang asked.

"At the moment, the two are evenly matched, and it is difficult to decide the winner. But it doesn't take three hundred moves, and that Jin Xiu will definitely be defeated. Bai Lian said slowly.

"Oh, how can you see it?" Zhou Yang suddenly became interested.

Although he has even killed Jindan masters, after all, he is only in the realm of the first Dan, and his vision is naturally not as broad as that of the old Jindan.

In his opinion, the two of them had to fight at least more than a thousand moves to determine the winner, but seeing Bai Lian say this, he wanted to hear Gao Jian.

"In terms of the level of martial arts, the two have their own strengths, and they restrain each other, and it is very difficult to defeat each other. However, the two sides fight, in addition to the strength of the secret techniques and magic weapons, they also have to fight wits and even use conspiracy. Bai Lian said.

"That's right, the battle of wits and courage is a real hero. The result in the cultivation realm is very important, and the process, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it doesn't matter. Zhou Yang nodded.

"That Jin Xiu belongs to a chivalrous man with integrity, and his character can be seen from his shots. However, the demon cultivators are very disdainful of the so-called Taoist orthodoxy, what chivalry and righteousness, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

If that Jin Xiu can overpower the demon cultivator in terms of strength, maybe the two can tie it. However, with their strength equal, the possibility of the Demon Cultivator winning would be greatly increased. ”
