Chapter 609
Chapter 609
A group of heroes vying for a deer, a hundred boats vying for the current.
As soon as the Master of Blue Clouds Manor finished his words, many young geniuses on the stage and below stood up.
For today's battle, many people had prepared for a long time. At this time, they all simultaneously issued a challenge to their opponents.
Although the martial arts competition in the grand gathering was not as strict as the sect competition, there was still an unwritten rule.
The young geniuses present were actually divided into three, six and nine grades. The first grade was naturally the disciples of the various forces on the high platform. They were naturally very outstanding since they were able to follow their elders here. The ten heaven's prides were the best among them.
The second and third grade young geniuses came from the plaza. They had to compete with each other, and the one who won the most recognition would be qualified to stand on the high platform and issue a challenge to the people above.
Of course, occasionally, the young geniuses on the high platform would take the initiative to attack. Most of them would challenge their competitors on the high platform.
In every round, there would only be one winner. As long as the winner obtained the recognition of the majority, he would be able to receive the Ancient Dao Tea and drink it in one gulp.
There were no clear rules. Whether or not one could win in the end depended on one's own strength and charm.
When the Master of Blue Clouds Manor saw that so many young geniuses were eager to challenge and that even the disciples of the various sects on the stage had stood up, he couldn't help but smile.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Since everyone is so enthusiastic this year, let's set a small rule. In each round, whoever grabs the token first can directly issue a challenge to anyone, and that person must accept the challenge. "
"After the challenger wins, he will become the challenged person. The rest of the people can challenge him three times, but it depends on the opponent's situation. I believe that after three times, everyone will have their own judgment. It will be clear whether or not they are qualified to drink the Ancient Dao Tea. "
The Master of Blue Clouds Manor took out a token and waved it in his hand, becoming the focus of the audience.
"The fight for the token must stop. If someone already has the token, the others must stop and cannot attack. Otherwise, they will be disqualified."
"Now, you can make your move."
As he said that, he gently flicked his finger. The token emitted a crisp sound, turned into a ray of light, and flew straight up to the sky between the high platform and the plaza.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large group of cultivators reacted and soared into the sky.
"I want to be the first person to challenge this grand gathering!"
"This token is mine. Don't even think about taking it from me!"
A large group of people chased after the token, including several Immortal Sect disciples on the high platform.
They competed to see who was faster and had better escape techniques, but as long as someone got close to the token first, they would be attacked by the others.
Under such circumstances, whoever was able to snatch the token was enough to show that their strength was not simple.
As this was the first competition, the cultivators in the square were particularly enthusiastic. They all wanted to be the first to attack and leave a deep impression on everyone present.
The young geniuses on the high platform, especially the 65 Heaven's Chosen, were very calm. They just watched coldly from the sidelines, as if the fight for the token was just a farce.
Gu Chen poured himself a cup of wine and drank by himself. He did not raise his head to look at the others. Cup after cup of wine never left his hand.
People who didn't know him would think that he was an alcoholic.
"I won!"
A young cultivator descended from the Cloud Ladder and snatched the token from the encirclement of more than ten people. The others could only reluctantly retreat.
"Who do you want to challenge?"
The Master of the Blue Dawn Manor asked the young cultivator with a smile.
The young cultivator's eyes burned with fighting spirit as he pointed to the high platform in high spirits.
"Gao Mingjian of the Supreme Sword Sect, I've long heard that your swordsmanship is superb. Please enlighten me!"
The moment he opened his mouth, he actually challenged one of the 65 Heaven's Chosen, Gao Mingjian. This immediately caused an uproar.
"There are always people who don't know life from death who want to become famous by challenging a Heaven's Chosen, hehe."
"That's not necessarily true. This person's skills just now are indeed good. Maybe he really can compete with Gao Mingjian."
Many cultivators discussed among themselves as they looked at Gao Mingjian, who was sitting on the high platform.
Gao Mingjian sat in the middle of the group of people from the Supreme Sword Sect. He held a sword in his hand and his face was as calm as water.
"Make your move."
He said indifferently, not even standing up.
The young cultivator saw this and became angry. He coldly snorted and shook his sleeves. Long swords were unsheathed and floated in the air.
He was actually an expert in sword arrays. In the blink of an eye, he summoned 815 flying swords. With a thought, they formed a powerful sword array and charged toward Gao Mingjian on the platform!
The movement of this sword array was too shocking. The sword qi was vast and mighty, causing the people in the square to exclaim.
This person really had real skills. No wonder he dared to challenge Gao Mingjian.
As a fellow Sword Cultivator, it was understandable that he wanted to challenge the number one Sword Cultivator of the same generation.
Gao Mingjian looked at the sword array moving toward him. He didn't dodge or evade. It wasn't until the sword array was less than 65 feet away from him that he gently pulled out his sword.
A ray of sword light flashed and instantly lit up the whole world. Most people couldn't even see the trajectory of this sword. They only saw the 815 flying swords shatter and the young cultivator who challenged Gao Mingjian spit out a mouthful of blood. He fell on the square, his body covered with cuts and bruises!
Silence!
The cultivators in the square were shocked. They never thought that the gap between the young cultivator and Gao Mingjian would be so big!
As expected of a genius. He didn't even need to stand up to defeat a powerful challenger!
This made many cultivators who originally wanted to challenge the top geniuses wake up. Those 65 people stood at the peak of the younger generation of the Immortal Spirit Continent. If they wanted to be enemies with them, the end result would probably be green leaves decorating the flowers. Or even worse, they would just be a pool of mud under their feet!
Gao Mingjian suppressed all the experts with a single sword. No one in the square dared to challenge him again.
At this time, Zhang Xi from the Tai Chi Immortal Sect stood up and smiled gently. "People often say that among the geniuses, Fellow Gao's sword is the most destructive, and that my defense is the best.
"I wonder who will be better when Fellow Gao's sword meets my [Innate Eight Trigrams]?"
As soon as he said this, the whole square was excited. Even the leaders of the 68 Immortal Sects were shocked.
Were there going to be geniuses fighting so soon?
The Tai Shang Sword Sect's sword techniques had always been powerful, and the Tai Chi Immortal Sect's defense was also famous. Since ancient times, the two sects had been arguing about which was stronger.
Zhang Xi challenging Gao Mingjian was not only a battle between peers, but also a battle of orthodoxies!
"Very well, I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time."
Under the pressure from Zhang Xi, Gao Mingjian finally stood up. The two of them fought to the sky and launched an astonishing battle.
Gao Mingjian's sword techniques were divine, while Zhang Xi wore the [Innate Eight Trigrams]. One of them moved like the wind and thunder, while the other responded to the myriad of changes with indifference. The battle was quite exciting.
