Chapter 266 Legendary District
The mood of the audience, who had received the benefits, was unprecedentedly high, and the scene was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
However, very few people knew that in the depths of this bustling scene, there was an undercurrent surging.
All 200 contestants were present and began to draw lots.
In the single-player arena competition, two contestants were in a group. In the top 100 advancement competition, one hundred contestants would be eliminated in the first round.
The first round of the Top 100 Advancement Tournament was still divided into ten regions. Each region had five matches in the morning and afternoon. In one day, they played ten matches, eliminating a total of 100 people.
The second round was the Top 50 Advancement Tournament. At that time, the tournament area would be reduced to two. There would only be ten battles a day, and they would have to fight for five days, eliminating 50 people.
In the third round, when the top 50 advanced to the top 26, the competition area shrunk again, turning into a ring.
After that, the top 16, eight, and four were all in the same arena. Those who didn't have enough people would resurrect the contestants in the resurrection tournament.
Perhaps, this first round of the Twelve Sect Joint Examination was destined to be an extraordinary one, and also the most dramatic one.
This drama is reflected in the fact that Xiang Nan still won the tenth division.
When the district referee wrote Xiang Nan's name on the stone stele beside the arena in the tenth division, the crowd applauded loudly. action
The tenth arena seemed to be a "lucky" arena. It had never been calm before. It had its own legendary experiences.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this moment, the representative from the Murong Clan raised his right hand and shouted, "When the twelve joint examinations are over, I am willing to pay 100 million gold coins for the stone tablet in the tenth competition area!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience erupted into an uproar, and those wealthy and influential families were extremely regretful.
A hundred million gold coins was nothing to a large family in a prosperous area like the East China Sea. However, the Murong Clan had already been the first to speak. Who would raise the price? He only hated that he hadn't thought of this.
Xiang Nan turned around and looked in the direction of the Murong Clan. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that Murong Chongshan had really sent someone to supervise him.
If he had been eliminated early, the investment agreement between him and Murong Chongshan would have been cancelled.
However, up until now, no news had come from Master. It should be that the search last night had failed, just as Elder Shi Beihong had expected.
At this time, Murong Wanqing and the others walked over and greeted Xiang Nan affectionately. The six of them were getting closer and closer, and now they had become iron brothers.
It was hard to imagine that when they first came to the Haoran Sect half a year ago, there was no room for fire or water, and they fought with each other.
"Xiang Nan." Murong Wanqing stood in front of Xiang Nan. She looked into Xiang Nan's eyes and held back for a long time before saying, "Come on."
"Aiyo!" Luo Yuan hugged Xiang Nan's shoulder and joked, "Is this couple already so intimate? I rarely hear Sunset cheering for others. She always wants to win first place herself."
"Yes, the power of love." Shen Linhai pretended to be profound, as if he was an experienced romantic expert.
Murong Wanqing's soft voice immediately changed. She said coldly, "If you want to die, just say it openly. I'll beat you to death right now!"
Finally, she added, "I was just worried that Xiang Nan would fail too early and be broken by my father."
The rest of them were all smiling and tacit, which made Murong Wanqing's face flush red and she angrily turned around and left.
"You guys are almost done." Xiang Nan smiled helplessly and said, "It's not like you don't know her character. You always joke around with her. Be careful that she really beats you up."
"I started to protect your little lover so quickly." Jiang Yu stabbed Xiang Nan's waist ambiguously.
"I can't stand you guys." Xiang Nan rolled his eyes and walked towards Arena 10.
Behind him came Luo Yuan's shameless sneer.
The Floating Mountain in the ten competition zones had already fallen. It had been replaced with a ring. Because the range of movements of martial artists was often large, the diameter of each ring was also 200 meters. This was to allow everyone to fully display their movement techniques.
However, what Xiang Nan did not expect this time was that there was actually an old enemy of his in the tenth division, Hong Bin!
Zhou Xianyong, Jiang Cheng, and the others were chatting around Hong Bin. When they saw Xiang Nan coming over, their expressions sank.
Hong Bin strode towards Xiang Nan and sneered, "I hope to meet you in the first match."
"Same to you." Xiang Nan replied indifferently. His heart was not focused on these personal grudges, but on keeping an eye on the behavior of others, trying to find the black-clothed men of the Profound Sky Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect.
Could it be Hong Bin? Or was it Zhou Xianyong?
If the Profound Sky Sect wanted to bribe a Nature Sect disciple, who would be their first choice? It should be Hong Bin, right
"Alright!" In the sky, Elder Shi Beihong said loudly, "Please all the contestants return to their own areas. The competition is about to begin."
Jiang Cheng and the others sneered as they passed by Xiang Nan. That Zhou Xianyong even used his shoulder maliciously to ruthlessly hit Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan was too lazy to be like these small-sighted people, so he directly dodged.
Following that, the group began, and the twenty contestants from the tenth division drew lots.
Xiang Nan drew the number five, indicating that he was going to fight another number five contestant, the fifth match.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn order to maintain the fairness of the competition, no contestant shall divulge his number before officially stepping onto the stage.
In other words, Xiang Nan didn't know who his opponent was, or whether he had a certain chance of being assigned to the same group as Hong Bin.
"Alright, the tenth arena competition will officially begin!" The district referee raised his right hand and shouted, "Contestant number one, please come on stage!"
Xiang Nan looked at the arena and saw a shadow quickly flashing onto the arena. This person was Hong Bin!
"So he drew number one." Xiang Nan nodded silently.
Hong Bin immediately looked at Xiang Nan with a provocative look in his eyes. However, when he saw another contestant walking towards the arena, he couldn't hide his disappointment.
"Looks like this brat will be lucky enough to enter the top 100." Hong Bin's expression was unhappy. He hoped that he could kill Xiang Nan in the first round and stop Xiang Nan from entering the top 100. Only in this way would he be able to severely damage Xiang Nan's prestige.
"Haoran Sect, Hong Bin!" Hong Bin introduced himself to his enemy.
Hong Bin's opponent was a graceful man. The man held a two-meter long sword and said to himself, "Azure Cloud Sect, Wu Kai."
Hong Bin and Wu Kai were both experts at the fifth level of the Origin Realm. As expected, they were similar to what Xiang Nan had expected. When it came to a tough battle like the arena competition, all of them were high-level martial artists.
The fifth level of Origin Return was the upper limit of the twelve joint examinations. These fifth level contestants were the true trump cards of the outer sect.
Each outer sect sent over a hundred disciples to participate in the battle, but they couldn't all be at the fifth level of Origin Return. They still needed to do some face work, so they couldn't go too far.
As for those outer sect disciples below the fifth level, they had already been wiped out in the first two stages.
"Hong Bin! Hong Bin!"
More than 30 percent of the crowd were focused on the tenth division. Not only was there a legendary Xiang Nan here, there was also the publicly acknowledged number one expert, Hong Bin.
At this moment, almost 30% of the audience were cheering for Hong Bin. Only some of the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were shouting Wu Kai's name. However, the voice was too weak and immediately drowned in the sound wave.
