Chapter 1179

Yao Zhesheng

"So strong!"

Zhuowen muttered in a low voice. Looking at Mansion Master Cangjie, his eyes were filled with a hint of seriousness. Mansion Master Cangjie's aura was very vigorous. He was definitely stronger than a fourth layer Emperor, or perhaps a fifth layer Emperor.

"Haha!

I presume everyone knows about the Hero Assembly this time? "Mansion Master Cangjie said quite frankly.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall lit up. They had traveled thousands of miles from Great Cang Prefecture to Great Cang City for this Hero Assembly. Now that Mansion Master Cangjie had mentioned the main point, they naturally paid close attention.

"I wonder if Mansion Master can tell us the details of this Hero Assembly?" The purple-clothed youth, who had been sitting at the front, suddenly opened his mouth.

Mansion Master Cangjie glanced at the purple-clothed youth, especially when he saw that the purple-clothed youth had the aura of a peak Heavenly Venerable. The smile on his face was slightly wider as he said, "You should be Greater One Sect's Yao Zhesheng, right?"

The purple-clothed youth bowed and said, "Mansion Master's eyes are indeed as sharp as pearls. To be able to recognize this junior, this junior is overwhelmed by your favor."

"It's actually Yao Zhesheng. No wonder his cultivation has reached the peak of Heavenly Venerable before the age of 85. This is the most talented disciple in the history of Greater One Sect. It is said that he is the direct disciple of Greater One Sect's master. I'm afraid he will inherit Greater One Sect's mantle in the future."

After Mansion Master Cangjie announced Yao Zhesheng's name, it caused a lot of uproar in the hall. Obviously, Yao Zhesheng's reputation in Great Cang Prefecture was very high.

"Haha!

The rules of the Hero Assembly this time are actually very simple. It's a competition of the strength of the younger generation martial artists of the seven great prefectures. Every prefecture will send out five representatives to carry out challenges. If the genius of any prefecture is able to persist until the end and not be eliminated, then that prefecture will become the final victor. "

Speaking of this, Cangjie smiled and said, "This time, my Great Cang Prefecture already has three quotas. Now, I will choose two quotas to participate in this Hero Assembly."

Hearing those words, the atmosphere of the hall immediately became heavy. Everyone looked at each other and their brows slightly furrowed. There were nearly a hundred martial artists in the hall, but only two were able to participate in the Hero Assembly. It could be seen how high the elimination rate was.

Cangjie didn't pay attention to the dissatisfaction in the eyes of other martial artists in the hall. This Hero Assembly was related to the complete map of the Great Demon Sect Ruins. He couldn't allow any mistakes. If the selected martial artists weren't qualified, Cangjie naturally wouldn't give those two places.

"If no one has any objections, then follow me to the Great Cang Mansion's Martial Arts Practice Field. We will conduct the Selection Battle there."

After saying that, Cangjie smiled and looked around. His expression caused many people to complain secretly. However, they did not dare to refute Cangjie. After all, Cangjie was the Mansion Master of Great Cang Prefecture and a Mid Emperor Realm expert. He was not someone they could defy. Although his words sounded like a negotiation, Cangjie's tone was unquestionable.

"I'll leave everything to the Manor Lord." Yao Zhesheng nodded and said seriously.

"Good!

Everyone, please follow me. "

Cangjie laughed loudly. He waved his hand and led everyone out of the hall.

The martial arts field of the Dacang Mansion was located in the northwest corner. There was a vast open space there, and there were five high platforms spread out in the open space. Around the high platforms, there were all kinds of weapons placed. At this moment, there were already many warriors sparring on the high platforms in the martial arts field.

These were basically the martial artists of Great Cang Mansion. When Cangjie led everyone into the Martial Arts Practice Field, many of the martial artists in the Martial Arts Practice Field retreated to the side. They bowed slightly and their faces were full of respect.

"The rules of this Selection Battle are very simple. This Mansion Master will stand in the central arena. You can choose from the surrounding four arenas. As long as you can defeat your opponent in the arena and remain standing until the end, then you will become the champion of this arena. After eliminating all your opponents, the cultivator who becomes the champion will advance to the second round of the Selection Battle."

"Remember, there are only four platforms in the Martial Arts Practice Field. That is to say, there are only four Champions. As long as you defeat the Champion of the platform, you will become the new Champion. As long as you are strong enough and not eliminated by others, you will be qualified to advance to the second round."

On the central platform, Cangjie stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked around at nearly a hundred people and said loudly.

In the crowd, Zhuowen looked pensive. The Champion Elimination System proposed by Cangjie was quite cruel. If you became the Champion, you would have to accept the challenges of nearly a hundred people. Only if you defeated all your challengers, you would be qualified to advance to the second round. If you failed, this qualification would be taken by the next Champion.

"Let's start now!"

Cangjie waved his sleeves and said loudly. However, the atmosphere in the audience was a little dignified. Everyone was not stupid. They knew that the first Champion would be challenged by the most people.

Whoosh!

Yao Zhesheng, who was dressed in a purple robe, stepped out and landed on one of the platforms. He looked down at the other warriors in the audience.

Not long after Yao Zhesheng stepped onto the platform, three more figures occupied the other three platforms. They were all warriors at the Late-stage of the Celestial Master Realm. Their auras were bulging and looked exceptionally terrifying.

When they saw that the strength of the four arena masters was so terrifying, the many martial artists below the stage who were ready to make a move were all silent. Yao Zhesheng aside, the three late-stage Heavenly Venerables in the other three arenas were already enough to make them suffer.

Looking at the warriors in the audience who did not move for a long time, Cangjie frowned and said loudly, "If you don't take action, these four Champions will directly advance to the second round in an hour."

Sure enough, after Cangjie's words came out, the warriors who had been quiet became restless again. Immediately, four figures rushed out and went onto the four platforms.

Since Cangjie said that the Champions who were not challenged in an hour would automatically advance to the next round, they naturally could not give such a good opportunity to Yao Zhesheng and the other three. They had to fight for it.

The strength of these four warriors was very ordinary. They were directly blasted off the platform by the four Champions.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment the four cultivators were blasted off the stage, another four figures flashed onto the high platform. They used all of their skills to try and defeat the ring masters. Unfortunately, the second batch of people was not strong enough to shake the four ring masters.

As time went by, more and more warriors were eliminated. The strength of the first four Champions was really too strong. Most of the warriors in the audience were not the opponents of these four Champions.

Zhuo Wen silently stood where he was, quietly observing the progress of the arena matches. He knew that in this group of people, there were 65 Empyrean level martial artists. Of these 65 Empyrean level martial artists, four of them had already stepped up to become arena masters. Now, there were only six left. Zhuo Wen knew that as the crowd was gradually eliminated, these six Empyrean level martial artists would definitely step up.

Sure enough, when there were only a few warriors left in the audience, the remaining six warriors finally moved. Three of them turned into three shadows and came to the three platforms except for Yao Zhesheng.

Yao Zhesheng was an expert at the peak of the Celestial Master Realm. Among this group of people, he was the strongest. Since there were only four Champions, the remaining six Celestial Masters were not stupid enough to face such a difficult opponent like Yao Zhesheng.

The three warriors who rushed onto the platform were weaker than the three Champions. They were either Middle-stage Celestial Masters or Early-stage Celestial Masters. Although the battle between the six was extremely fierce, the three Champions were Late-stage Celestial Masters after all. Their cultivations were suppressed to a certain extent. Therefore, after fighting for dozens of rounds, the three Champions eliminated the three challengers one after another.

"Now there are only four warriors left in the audience."

Cangjie looked at the four Champions with some appreciation. It was not easy to maintain a winning record from the beginning to the end. After all, they had experienced so many battles. Although the four Champions' cultivations were not low, they had consumed a lot of energy. For them, this was still a loss.

However, the majority of the surrounding people were paying attention to those remaining three Empyrean martial artists, while Zhuo Wen was directly ignored.

Cangjie glanced slightly at the remaining four warriors. When his eyes fell on Zhuowen, his body trembled and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

"Interesting!

This boy is much younger than Yao Zhesheng, but he has reached such a high cultivation. It seems that he is not simple. "Cangjie murmured in a low voice and looked at Zhuowen meaningfully.

Zhuowen naturally felt Cangjie's surprised gaze, but he did not feel strange. With Cangjie's cultivation, if he noticed him, he would definitely be able to see that he deliberately concealed his aura.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! The remaining three warriors no longer hesitated. They all flew up and immediately broke out three violent Original Energy fluctuations.

Because of Yao Zhesheng's deterrence, at this moment, no one challenged him. He stood in the arena and looked quite leisurely. He even looked at the battles in the other three arenas with interest.

Among the remaining three warriors, two were Middle-stage Celestial Masters, and the other was Late-stage Celestial Master. The Late-stage Celestial Master warrior was slightly older than Yao Zhesheng. He should be about 73 or 74 years old. He was dressed in black and held a black dagger. His attacks were always unexpected, forcing the Champion, who was also at Late-stage Celestial Master, to be flustered and panting.

Bang!

Bang! Two dull sounds of collision rang out, followed by two muffled groans. Immediately, the two Middle-stage Celestial Masters flew out and crashed heavily on the ground. Obviously, they had also failed their challenge.

Bang!

The instant these two warriors were eliminated, another figure flew out and smashed into the ground not far from the two of them. The two of them focused their eyes and were stunned to discover that the person who had been sent flying was actually the arena master who had been challenged by the man in black.
