Chapter 127 - First Stage of seven-nation test

They were all waiting for the first round of the competition.

The first match would be a drawing of lots. There would be no distinction between countries, neither would there be any distinction between cultivation levels. It would only depend on one's luck.

According to the statistics, there were only one hundred and twenty martial artists from the seven nations added up because many had died on the way and some had retreated at the last moment.

Although there were only a hundred or so people left from the two hundred plus people, the competition was still very brutal. Four people would form a group and then one of them would enter the next round.

Although the rules of the competition were cruel and had to rely on luck, every three years, warriors from various parts of seven-nation test would fight over it.

When they entered, everyone was already drawing lots, with a number written on top. Xiao Qianhan's lot had a number of 5, and Ning Siqi was 11.

"I heard from someone that Liu Yiyi is not coming, that she no longer has any spirit energy left, and said that she can't recover using healing pills, and that even if she is able to recover spirit energy in the future, she would only be at the early stage of the Violet Profound Realm." Ning Siqi said softly.

The light in Xiao Qianhan's eyes flickered slightly as she smiled and nodded. "Mn, I understand. I am the one who crippled her cultivation. "

"You crippled it?" Ning Siqi was shocked, but she quickly understood why Xiao Qianhan wanted to cripple Liu Yiyi. That day, when she was knocked unconscious in front of the inn, Liu Yiyi ignored the people around her, and wanted to kill Xiao Qianhan. If not for someone who saved Qian Han later on, Liu Yiyi would have already killed Qian Han! Liu Yiyi and the rest had wanted to kill Qian Han many times, but now that their spirit energy had been crippled, it could be considered a form of punishment on Liu Yiyi! Otherwise, if Liu Yiyi's arrogant attitude was not as big as her, she might not have been able to do anything in the future.

Xiao Qianhan nodded, her gaze looking straight ahead. There were already people everywhere, and they had specially prepared a place for the participants to rest alone.

"Xiao Yuluo and His Majesty the Seventh Prince are here too." Ning Siqi looked at Murong Ce and Xiao Yuluo who were seated not too far away, and after looking at them for a moment, she could not help but let out a cry, "Qianhan, do you think that the His Majesty the Seventh Prince today is a little strange?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Qianhan casually swept a glance over it, and then nodded. "Mn, there is indeed something wrong."

Not far away, Murong Ce was leaning close to Xiao Yuluo, his eyes was still looking deeply at Xiao Yuluo, as though if he shifted his gaze away, Xiao Yuluo would disappear from his sight, no matter how he looked, he would feel that it was a little strange.

Xiao Yuluo's brows showed signs of depression, and he became even more flustered than when he saw his two days ago.

"Are Emotional Gu that powerful? His Majesty the Seventh Prince seemed to have no more thoughts now, and only stared at Xiao Yuluo. Xiao Yuluo's face was pale white, as though he really wanted to avoid His Majesty the Seventh Prince. Ning Siqi said in a low voice.

The corner of Xiao Qianhan's mouth slowly rose. It seemed that after hearing what she said yesterday, Xiao Yuluo was secretly more afraid that Murong Ce would not be controlled by the Emotional Gu to leave, so last night she planted a Emotional Gu on Murong Ce. It was possible that she did not expect that after doing the Emotional Gu on the same person, Murong Ce would turn into the only person in his eyes.

It's true that Emotional Gu can be used to make people who don't like you like you, but there's also a big drawback, it's easy for people to see through it. If they continued to greedily place another two Emotional Gu s on the same person's body, it would most likely cause that person to lose sight of anything else in the person's eyes, but it would make it easier for them to discover the strangeness of Murong Ce's body.

Maybe, this was what Xiao Yuluo and Murong Ce reaped.

"Another Emotional Gu appeared on the body of the His Majesty the Seventh Prince." Xiao Qianhan said with a profound smile.

"Another one!" exactly how much did she fear that His Majesty the Seventh Prince would leave her. " Ning Siqi was stunned.

Xiao Yuluo seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at her, so he lifted his head to look, and saw Ning Siqi and Xiao Qianhan. Although Xiao Qianhan did not look at her, she still felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and that feeling of fear had deepened.

Although the other warriors in the Kingdom of Zi Yue were a little suspicious, but at the moment, almost everyone's attention was on the competition, so they did not ponder too deeply about Murong Ce's strangeness. However, this situation could not be sustained for long, otherwise, it would be easily seen through.

The competition officially began.

Groups after groups began to compete on the stage in an orderly fashion.

From the first group onwards, there were all sorts of sword lights and sword shadows. Four people were fighting each other, and the scene looked somewhat chaotic. Some people were unable to keep their eyes open.

This was because there was a huge disparity in the strength of the first group. Basically, the victor of this group was decided in just a few moves.

Very soon, the second group came back to the third group. Everyone had the determination to win, so every move was very effective. They were all striving to enter the final thirty, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Qianhan, do you know why there aren't many people this year? Is it still the same rules as three years ago? Every four people would form a group and one person would enter the second round. That meant there were 30 people, so there was no need for the second round. Wasn't it fine if the first place was decided in the second round? I just found out, that in the second round, there were many warriors who did not need to participate in the National Examination competition and directly came to participate. For example, the people of the Xuanzun Sect. At first, there were only two people, but then for some reason, there were ten. The disciples of the Xuanzun Sect are all geniuses, this is just too much bullying. " Ning Siqi said indignantly.

However, Xiao Qianhan's expression was extremely calm, and not a single hint of anger could be seen on her face. She replied with a chuckle, "That's very normal. In a world where the strong were respected, those who had the right to speak had the right to use their fists.

"You're right, that's how it should be in the past years. In any case, this is a competition, and if the strong are not allowed to participate, then everyone here is a weakling. In the future, everyone need not put in too much effort to cultivate. Anyway, we still have the chance to participate in the joint examination. " Ning Siqi thought that Xiao Qianhan's words were true, as long as his cultivation was not sufficient, regardless of whether it was the first or second round, she would not be able to enter the last round.

"I don't know why Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom didn't come." Ning Siqi had been looking around to see what kind of person the Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom was, but it seemed like he still hadn't seen anyone. It should be possible that all the warriors from all the countries had appeared, so why didn't the Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom appear?

Only now did Xiao Qianhan realize that the had not arrived yet, if she had, it would have caused a huge commotion.

After a while, Ning Siqi ran back and asked: "I know why Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom isn't here. Not only is Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom not here, Crown Prince of the State of South Ling isn't as well. That is to say, they do not have to participate in the competition and they only want to compete for the final ranking! " Her tone was filled with envy. She did not even need to participate in the competition to enter the finals. How many people were envious of this!?

Many people said that the rules of this year's competition in the seven-nation test were especially unfair, and that one could receive all sorts of benefits just by being born into a higher class. Many people were secretly discussing this matter with sighs.

Crown Prince of the State of South Ling?

Xiao Qianhan was startled. Yuan Shu Ye was coming to participate in the seven-nation test?

"Aiya! If only I knew that he was going to participate in the seven-nation test, why did Master travel without rest all the way here, and directly fly here together with him on the white jade qilin! " The moment Qian Zi heard this, he remembered his master who was travelling non-stop along the way. On the way, he also met a few blind robbers, but they were all time-consuming.

Xiao Qianhan ignored Qian Zi, and waited for the fourth group to finish.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze staring at her, Xiao Qianhan followed her gaze.

Shangguan Rong and Shangguan Rong were looking at her, it was a kind of precaution, and also a gaze filled with great resentment. She slightly raised his eyebrows, didn't the two of them have nothing better to do? Instead of paying attention to the situation of the duels, he was paying attention to her?

The fourth group's competition lasted for a long time. The four of them were all experts with similar strengths, so they all wanted to participate in the second round with all their might.

It took a long time to finish.

The review announced the entry of the fifth group.

Xiao Qianhan stood up and prepared to go on stage.

"Qianhan, you can definitely do it!" Ning Siqi said excitedly.

Xiao Qianhan nodded her head, when she walked up the stage, her gaze swept the fifty meters distance between them and the stage.

Amongst the crowd, there was no familiar face of that person …

Perhaps, after that separation, they really would not meet again.

The other three were also standing on stage, and upon hearing the name Xiao Qianhan from the evaluators, their expressions changed, so she was actually the Xiao Qianhan who was discussed in the streets these past few days! She looked like a weak and delicate woman.

The spectators below the stage were all excited, they pointed at Xiao Qianhan and started whispering to the people around them.

Different voices entered Xiao Qianhan's ears, but Xiao Qianhan acted as if she did not hear them, and coldly looked at the three opponents in front of him, three people's cultivations appearing in her ears. All of them were martial artists who had reached the great perfection of the palmProfound Realm, and all of them were men. Obviously, he wasn't her match.

However, when the three of them heard her name, their eyes flashed with a strange light. She was a woman that Crown Prince of Beiming Nation had once enjoyed!

One of them was normally a good girl, and seeing that Xiao Qianhan was truly beautiful, she immediately had thoughts of taking possession of her. She bravely licked her lips and shouted: "How about you follow me from today onwards! I can help you deal with the two of them and also guarantee that you will walk off the stage unharmed.

When the other two heard this, they frowned. This person's courage was too great!

However, there were already many people below the stage who were jeering, "You've been abandoned by the Crown Prince of Beiming Nation anyway, just follow him! In the future, there will also be people who can protect you! "

"If not, if you get bullied in the future, no one will help you!" "Hahahaha!"

Xiao Qianhan raised her eyebrows, her expression did not contain any anger at all, she was extremely calm, the broken sword in her hand was imbued with Spirit Qi, and a faint halo of light surrounded the broken sword's body.
