As the disciples of the Ancient Tablet Martial School cheered, a few figures quickly flew over from the sky and landed in the middle of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds. There were a few of the higher ups of the Ancient Tablet Martial School.

The Sect Leader, Sect Elder Cai Yuanhu, followed closely behind Su Mu, followed by two other people.

One of them was a pure and white middle-aged man, while the other was a person Zhou Qing had met before, the Great Elder of the Ancient Tablet Sect, Tang Ji.

The four Mage experts gathered, and their auras were filled with energy. Even though they did not release any kind of pressure, they still felt an immense pressure.

Su Mu, who had lost more than half of the aura of death in his body, was brimming with energy and a faint smile appeared on his face. After sweeping his gaze over the training field, he slightly pressed down with his hand.

"I believe everyone is aware of the reason why we have gathered here today. The ten participants in this round are all top-notch Soul Condensation experts. I hope all of you will put your hearts into watching this battle and gaining some insights. "

Su Mu's voice was not loud. However, with the support of his vigorous Fa Li, everyone present could clearly hear his voice.

As Su Mu finished speaking, thousands of burning gazes turned towards the left entrance of the training field. The ten participants in the competition were all gathered there.

Luo Xuan was dressed in a spotless white robe. When he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately smiled and nodded his head, appearing like a refined scholar with a refined and amiable disposition.

This appearance caused the pretty faces of many female disciples from the Ancient Tablet Sect to flush. Su Leng, who was beside him, also had an unusual glint flash across her beautiful eyes.

"Then, next, the Grand Elder will announce the rules for this Entry Competition."

After Su Mu finished his sentence, he walked to the side of the hall and sat down.

Tang Ji took a step forward as he looked at the ten participants with a solemn expression on his face, "Everyone, the rules for this round of placings are very simple. In the first round, the opponents will be decided by drawing lots. They'll be divided into five groups and the five victors will be decided. "

"For the second round, the five victors will enter the stage at the same time. Each of them will fight on their own and the final victor will obtain the one and only spot!"

"In the competition, apart from talismans and medicinal pills, there are no restrictions on magic tools. Those who fell, as well as those who admitted defeat, were eliminated! "As for life and death …"

Saying that, Tang Ji's eyes narrowed: "Fists and feet without eyes, do not talk about life and death! However, I hope that everyone will remember that once the other party falls down the stage or admits defeat, no one is allowed to take action.

As the sound of Tang Ji's voice faded, the crowd burst into an uproar.

These rules were indeed simple and crude!

The two matches in the first round would be a chaotic battle of five people in the second round!

"Brat, if you hit me later, just admit defeat. Otherwise, I will blast you to death with one punch and you won't even have the time to shout"

Yao Qing looked at Zhou Qing, his face revealing a sinister sneer.

When Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. A dangerous, cold glint flashed in them for a moment.

Yao Qing thought like this, but wasn't he the same as well?

The continuous provocations from these two made him extremely unhappy.

Although he didn't want to provoke the Mysterious Sky Sect, he wouldn't mind killing them if he was forced into a corner!

Just as everyone was deep in thought, Su Mu, who was standing at the side, flipped his palm.

The moment he flipped his palm, the huge ground began to shake.

Boom.

As the tremors continued, the ground in the center of the martial arena gradually caved in. Soon after, five huge arenas made of Purple Profound Stones slowly rose from the ground.

"Everyone."

Su Mu glanced at Cai Yuanhu, Tang Ji, and the white dressed middle-aged man. The three of them nodded their heads in silence.

Boom!

The four Mage experts attacked at the same time. Violent waves of mana shot out, causing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to tremble unceasingly.

In the blink of an eye, the five purple profound stone arenas were enveloped by a powerful mana barrier.

The barrier laid down by the Mage Expert was difficult to shake even in a peak level fight. This was mainly to prevent the spectating disciples from getting injured by accident.

"Please enter the arena and draw lots. After determining your opponent, you will be able to enter the arena and begin the battle!"

With a wave of his hand, a box made of jade appeared in front of him. He flew to the front of the stage and landed with a loud bang.

"Big Brother Xuan, if you draw Song Changqing, you must teach him a good lesson in my place!"

Su Leng glared at Zhou Qing, but the latter paid no attention to her. This reaction caused her to be even more enraged as she tugged at Luo Xuan's sleeve.

"Don't worry, sister Leng'Er."

Luo Xuan replied with a smile. His gaze lingered on Zhou Qing for a moment before he walked towards the martial ring.

There were a total of ten people participating, so they only needed five people to draw lots to determine the opponent.

Luo Xuan, Yao Qing, and the other three weren't courteous and quickly went forward to take their lots.

"Yue Qing … Is that you? "

Yao Qing looked at the jade lot in his hand and raised his brows as he looked at a gray-clothed youth not far away.

The grey-clothed youth was startled and his expression changed slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle."

Seeing the other party looking as if he was about to face a great enemy, Yao Qing grinned. He immediately looked towards Zhou Qing, his eyes filled with regret.

"My opponent is... Song Changqing! "

Someone shouted out Zhou Qing's name. Zhou Qing looked towards the source of the voice and saw a short-haired youth holding a medium-grade long spear. His face was filled with uncontrollable joy and he was extremely excited.

Amongst the ten of them, Zhou Qing had the lowest cultivation base, and was also the most unremarkable one. In the hearts of these people, if they could draw him, it meant that they would be able to steadily enter the second round.

Zhou Qing swept a glance at the short-haired teenager, his expression impassive.

This person's aura was not weak, it was even stronger than the ten people at the peak of the Soul Formation stage in the Ten Thousand Devil Cave.

However, he, who had already broken through to the late stage of Soul Formation, couldn't be compared to before.

He had to rely on the Five Ghost Godly Generals to kill those ten in the Ghost Cave. However, after breaking through, both in terms of spiritual power density and physical strength, Zhou Qing was confident that he would be able to compete with the peak of the Soul Formation stage!

Ordinary cultivators would need some time to adapt before their battle prowess would increase after breaking through a small realm. However, Zhou Qing was different.

He had previously reached the peak of the Spirit Realm and was a Rank five Golden Body Realm expert. Regardless of his battle experience or his mastery of martial arts, he was far above ordinary people.

Now, it was just a replay of the path he had taken before.

Thus, once his cultivation level broke through, Zhou Qing's battle prowess would skyrocket.

"Liang Shaoqiu."

Luo Xuan flipped the jade slip over and whispered a name.

The moment Luo Xuan called out to a slightly plump young man in embroidered robes, his body trembled and his expression fluctuated. A moment later, he actually cupped his hands together: "I admit defeat."

As the sound of his voice faded, the entire crowd burst into an uproar.

This person actually admitted defeat without even fighting!

In the stands, Cai Yuanhu and the others were frowning as well.

"Luo Xuan's combat strength is very strong, and the Mysterious Sky Sect is backing him …"

Su Mu wasn't surprised. He glanced at Liang Shaoqiu with interest.

The latter admitted defeat straightforwardly, but with a calm expression on her face, she turned around and walked out of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds without the slightest embarrassment.

"I don't have the confidence to defeat Luo Xuan, and I don't want to offend the Mysterious Sky Sect …" This kid is very sensible and is a smart person. " Su Mu explained with a smile.

"That is indeed the case … On the other hand, Song Zhangqing was rumoured to be extremely daring, and who knows what sort of outcome he will have. "

The white dressed middle-aged man agreed, then he looked at the calm Zhou Qing, slightly shaking his head.

Su Mu didn't say anything else. He looked at Zhou Qing with a playful smile.

The matter of Zhou Qing helping him remove half of the aura of death was only known to the four protectors, and they did not tell anyone else.

Judging from his performance yesterday, this child was definitely not as simple as he looked …

Su Mu was filled with anticipation.

Casually putting down the jade lot, Luo Xuan shook his head helplessly and also walked to the side of the stage, attracting the screams of the female disciples.

What was an expert? This was a true expert!

As he passed by Zhou Qing, Luo Xuan shot a glance at him. A trace of complacency flashed through his long and narrow eyes. The former however, had an indifferent expression and didn't have any reaction.

Zhou Qing had already expected this outcome.

Luo Xuan and Pei Jingying could be considered as the two strongest opponents among the nine.

Moreover, even though Luo Xuan was seemingly refined and easygoing, he was definitely not a kind person. Besides the disciples of the Ancient Tablet Sect and the pure Su Leng, everyone present ought to have some understanding of each other.

If he wasn't careful in sparring with such a dangerous character, he would definitely meet a tragic end. Because of this, Liang Shaoqiu chose to admit defeat, causing Zhou Qing to have a whole new level of respect for him.

The drawing of lots was over and the battle began.

Apart from Liang Shaoqiu and Luo Xuan, the other four groups of people all walked onto the stage in succession.

The instant the eight of them ascended the stage, a thousand pairs of eyes simultaneously turned fiery hot. The atmosphere of the arena instantly became tense.

"Yang Changhe."

The short-haired teenager looked at Zhou Qing with a smile. His arm trembled slightly as he waved the long spear with two inscriptions on it several times.

A few beautiful spear sparks sliced through the air, creating a whistling sound.

"Song Zhangqing, please advise."

Zhou Qing flipped his palm and took out an azure jade sword from within his Stone of Life. Shockingly, there were four inscriptions inscribed on it.

He did not use the high-grade sword from before. The sword had seven inscription patterns, which could be considered the highest quality item left behind by the god corpse.

Zhou Qing was very clear on the principle of not revealing his wealth.

"Clang!"

The instant Zhou Qing finished speaking, the long spear in Yang Changhe's hand trembled, emitting a metallic ring. Boundless Spiritual Energy surged out in an instant.

The latter's gaze turned as sharp as a blade, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived before Zhou Qing. The long spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon, piercing straight towards Zhou Qing's neck.

Yang Changhe approached menacingly, but Zhou Qing's expression did not change. The magical sword in his hand seemed to move casually, but in the blink of an eye, it completely blocked the former's attack.

Feeling Zhou Qing's dense Spiritual Energy fluctuations, Yang Changhe's eyes instantly revealed a serious expression.

When they first met yesterday, the former was only at the middle stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, but right now, his aura was clearly at the late stage of the Soul Condensation Realm!

Breakthrough in one night!

They all knew that Song Changqing was the weakest among them, but who among them was the most ordinary to be invited?

Once he thought of this, Yang Changhe no longer hid anything. With a low shout, the Spiritual Energy on the tip of the spear exploded out and the first inscription pattern lit up.

"Roaming Dragon Spear!"

Yang Changhe growled, and the speed of his attacks increased. The long spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon, as it flew through the air, it actually created sonic booms in the air, emitting a strong killing intent.

"Roaming Dragon Spear, the ultimate art of the Mysterious Spear Sect …" This Yang Changhe should be the Sovereign of the Profound Spear Sect, and Yang Mo's son, right? "

Su Mu's eyes lit up slightly as he asked.

"Exactly."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "This kid has a bit of the aura of his father. His spear is quite powerful …" Song Changqing, I'm afraid you are in danger. "

"That might not be the case. Don't say that too early, South Luo Yu."

Cai Yuanhu grinned. "Song Changqing is not an ordinary person either."

Upon hearing this, Nan Luo Yu's brow creased, and she once again looked at the stage.

On the stage, Yang Changhe's aura was like a rainbow as his spear arts became increasingly sharp. Every move was aimed straight at Song Changqing's vital points, practically suppressing him.

But why would Cai Yuanhu favor him? Even the head of the sect didn't say anything, but it seemed to be the same.

Could it be that this Song Changqing was truly extraordinary?

This thought had just surfaced in his heart when Tang Ji, who had never opened his mouth, suddenly spoke.

"Song Changqing is going to win."

Nan Luo Yu was slightly startled, and quickly looked at the arena again. After observing for a while, her pupils violently contracted!
