C399 The Rules of the Preliminaries
The huge Battle Platform covered an area with a circumference of 300 meters, and only Marquis Tian Feng was there. He seemed a little tiny, but the monstrous force that was released from his body swept across everything. The entire Battle Platform was filled with the illusory image of Marquis Tian Feng's ancient cauldron. It was incomparably powerful.
"Marquis Tian Feng has already broken through to the Astral Martial Stage Level Five." Loong Yi said in a low voice. Only the few god 's favoreds behind him could hear him. Han Feng was startled. Middle Level of the Astral Martial Stage, and Level Five.
In the entire Tianfeng City, there weren't many people who could fight against Lord Tian Feng.
"Long time no see. Master Hou is still as elegant as ever." The Sect Master of Nine Saints Sword Sect said with a smile. Nine Saints Sword Sect rarely interacted with other major powers, so naturally, he rarely saw the Sect Master of other major powers.
"Sect Master's sword has shaken the world. He has nurtured many formidable young men with Sword Cultivator. This has impressed me." Marquis Tian Feng praised. When the young men from the Nine Saints Sword Sect heard his praise, the sword intent in his body became even stronger.
The Sect Master of Nine Saints Sword Sect said with a smile, "My disciples are useless, I'm sorry for letting you see them. These god 's favoreds of Marquis's Mansion are all very powerful, and all of them have the potential to become peerless experts. I hope you can introduce them to me, Marquis."
"Sect Master, you flatter me." Marquis Tian Feng waved his hand politely and gestured to his disciples. Immediately, three silhouettes walked out and released terrifying combat power. It was as if they were all experts who had been through bloody battles.
"This is my adopted son, Guo Teng." Marquis Tian Feng pointed at one of them. The crowd looked over and saw that the young man had dark skin and his body was filled with wind and sand, as if he could create a sandstorm.
"This one is also my adopted son. Guo Zheng." Marquis Tian Feng introduced with a smile, "My two adopted sons have followed me to battle in the north and south. They have contributed a lot and are my right-hand men. Furthermore, both of them are very filial and are willing to follow my surname. "
Everyone looked at Guo Zheng. He was wearing a suit of armor and holding a long blade in his hand. He was like a God of War, insufferably arrogant.
"Lord Marquis's two foster sons are both extraordinary. I wonder if this is the last one. Lord Marquis's two godsons are also extraordinary. I wonder if the last one is also his godson?" Everyone secretly speculated. At this time, the third person directly walked out. “ I am Guo Ruloong. Greetings, seniors."
"Guo Ruloong, the second son of the Marquis?" Everyone's expression turned serious. They thought that Guo Ruloong had already broken through to the Celestial Energy Stage. They never thought that he had been holding back until now, and had yet to break through to the next realm. It seemed like he wanted to break through to the next realm after the King's Banquet ended.
"The son of the Marquis, a young hero. In my opinion, I should be able to win the first place." The Master of the Falling Pavilion praised with a smile, which surprised many people. It seemed like the Falling Pavilion had become the foil of the Marquis's Mansion.
"Pavilion Master, you flatter me." Guo Ruloong shook his head slightly, but his eyes were filled with confidence.
"The Master of the Falling Pavilion has already announced the result before the battle even began. The so-called geniuses of Falling Pavilion... Could it be that all of them couldn't even withstand a single blow, causing the Pavilion Master to raise the prestige of others? Destroy my own morale? " A cold voice was heard from the Hongtian Academy's camp, causing many people's eyes to freeze. This man had actually spoken so bluntly. He was truly bold.
When Master of the Falling Pavilion heard this, he became even more furious. His cold eyes looked in the direction of the Hongtian Academy. He naturally didn't think that the geniuses of the Falling Pavilion were useless. He just wanted to flatter the Marquis's Mansion. This man from the Hongtian Academy actually exposed the truth. This was a bit too presumptuous.
"The juniors of the Hongtian Academy are too rude. I wonder who they are. Come out and let me have a look." The Master of the Falling Pavilion said coldly.
"Isn't the Qi of the Master of the Falling Pavilion too small? It doesn't even allow others to speak?" Duan Yan took a step forward. The words he had said earlier had come from his mouth. He was going to seize the first place today, even if it was the son of Marquis Tian Feng. He couldn't compete with him.
"Duan Yan." Loong Yi glanced at him and said, "There are some things that you need to know in your heart. You don't have to say it out loud. The status of the Master of the Falling Pavilion is not something that you would care about. You can leave now. It's not up to you to decide who will win the first place. "
Duan Yan remained silent and returned to his seat. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he didn't say anything else.
The Master of the Falling Pavilion's facial expression became colder and colder. His dignified eyes swept across the Hongtian Academy's camp, and right after Duan Yan, he saw Han Feng.
"You're not dead yet?" The Master of the Falling Pavilion gritted its teeth and spat out four words, but it didn't point out its life. This caused everyone to feel puzzled. Who was the Master of the Falling Pavilion talking about?
"The Falling Pavilion's Expert of Celestial Energy Stage is too useless. Naturally, I will be fine." Han Feng smiled faintly. Only now did everyone understand that the Master of the Falling Pavilion was referring to Han Feng.
Currently, Han Feng was quite famous in Tianfeng City. Many people knew about the grudges between him and the Falling Pavilion. When they saw that the Master of the Falling Pavilion was targeting Han Feng, they didn't feel surprised. Instead, they revealed an interesting expression. The Falling Pavilion had actually sent out the Expert of Celestial Energy Stage to kill Han Feng. However, it seemed like... They didn't succeed. Was Han Feng's combat strength enough to ignore the Expert of Celestial Energy Stage?
If Han Feng had the strength comparable to the Expert of Celestial Energy Stage, his ranking in the King's Banquet wouldn't be too bad this time.
"I hope you can walk out of this test alive." The Master of the Falling Pavilion spoke indifferently, as if it wasn't afraid at all, as if it was expressing its attitude. This time, the King's Banquet would spare Han Feng's life.
When Marquis Tian Feng heard the conversation between the Master of the Falling Pavilion and Han Feng, his face remained calm. Then, he smiled and looked in the direction of the Longevity Temple.
"It seems like Marquis Tian Feng has the intention to befriend the two major powers." When Han Feng saw this scene, he thought to himself. When Marquis Tian Feng arrived, he first greeted the Nine Saints Sword Sect and then the Longevity Temple, but he didn't care about the other powers.
However, this wasn't difficult for Han Feng to understand. The relationship between the Hongtian Academy and the Marquis's Mansion was tense, so naturally, they wouldn't greet each other. The Falling Pavilion and the Wuyan Palace had become the vassal forces of the Marquis's Mansion. There was no need to be polite anymore.
This time, as long as the Nine Saints Sword Sect and the Longevity Temple didn't make any mistakes, the Marquis's Mansion would have the absolute advantage.
"Venerable Yi Du, how have you been?" Marquis Tian Feng said with a smile, "Thirty years have passed, but Venerable Yi Du is still as energetic as before."
"You're too polite, Lord Marquis." Daoist Yidu stood up, causing Han Feng to be somewhat surprised. Daoist Yidu and Marquis Tian Feng actually knew each other.
Marquis Tianfeng and Daoist Yidu looked at each other from afar, but neither of them spoke. However, when Han Feng opened his Magic Eyes, he discovered that the two of them had actually started an invisible contest. Adept Yi Du was the leader of the ten great Adepts, and his cultivation base was extremely high. He cultivated the inner force of Taoism, and his spirit energy was incomparably thick. After a few breaths of time, the two of them exchanged blows. Both of them took a slight step back, and a trace of fear arose in their hearts.
It was obvious that the two of them had sensed the strength of each other's cultivation from their previous exchange. If they really fought, neither of them had the confidence to win.
"The Longevity Temple's water is really deep. A mere True Man had such a cultivation base. If it was the true master of Longevity Temple... No one knew. And those old undyings from the previous generation of the Longevity Temple, what level would their cultivation base reach?" Marquis Tian Feng thought to himself. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"What will happen to the future of the Temple Master today?" Marquis Tian Feng asked.
"The Temple Master likes peace and quiet. He doesn't want to leave the mountains, so I'll do it for him." Adept Yi Du smiled faintly and said, "Junior brothers, quickly come and greet the Marquis."
"Yes." Behind Adept Yidu, the two of them stepped forward at the same time. "I am Wu Ling. Greetings, Lord Marquis." "I am Jiuqing. Greetings, Lord Marquis."
"So it's Spiritual Master Wu Ling and Spiritual Master Jiuqing. I have long heard of your great name. It is truly my honor to meet you today." Heavenly Feng Marquis said hurriedly. The Longevity Temple had actually sent three Spiritual Masters to attend the examination. This showed how important the examination was.
"The Longevity Temple and Nine Saints Sword Sect are very polite. It seems like the King's Banquet will remain neutral this time."
"That's right. The Marquis's Mansion has joined forces with the Falling Pavilion and the Wuyan Palace to suppress the Hongtian Academy. This is an indisputable fact. The Nine Saints Sword Sect and the Longevity Temple should know about this, but they don't want to participate in it."
"I'm looking forward to the performance of the god 's favored disciples of Longevity Temple. This is the first time Longevity Temple has participated in the King's Banquet's examination. Do you think this will mean that Longevity Temple is going to enter the Tianfeng City?"
"That's possible. If that's the case, there will be six major powers standing in the inner city."
Regarding the changes in the structure of the major powers, everyone was secretly guessing. Although the King's Banquet this time was only the place where the young god 's favored would fight, it could actually project a lot of things.
"All of you, calm down." Marquis Tian Feng stood in the middle of the Battle Platform and shouted. The rolling sound waves seemed to contain some kind of magic. Everyone couldn't help but calm down and cast their eyes at Marquis Tian Feng, who was standing in the middle of the fighting stage.
When Marquis Tian Feng saw that everyone had stopped talking, he smiled in his heart. Then, he said, "The once every five years King's Banquet is going to be held, but every main city is going to be held soon. In other words, only twenty people will be qualified to join the King's Banquet. Twenty people will be selected from the six major powers."
"Only 20 people will be selected." Everyone shuddered upon hearing this. According to this ratio, only the strongest three from each faction had a chance of advancing, while the rest could only depend on luck.
"This assessment isn't the final King's Banquet. Therefore, the rules can be more flexible. There is no need to go through layers of screening, as long as it is fair."
Marquis Tian Feng continued. This competition arena in Tianfeng City was actually just a preliminary selection. There was no need for them to waste so much effort to carry out layers upon layers of competition.
"As for how the selection is going to be conducted, I hope that Marquis can give me an explanation." Adept Yi Du asked.
"How about this? Let me see how many god 's favoreds you've brought. The maximum number is twenty people. Then, twenty battles will be carried out. We will engage in a chaotic battle to eliminate the weak. In order to ensure that the battle would not last for too long, if the battle lasted for more than two hours... Let's end it first and wait for the next round of selection."
