C245 First Place in the First Round(1)
Therefore, the Great Tang Dynasty first activated the testing formation. This formation was extremely ingenious, it could cover all the contestants in the square.
Originally, the standard of the participants was Essence Condensing Stage, but later on, there was nothing they could do. Due to the huge number of participants, the standard was set for True Martial Stage. This way, with the help of the testing formation, just in terms of cultivation base... Almost ninety percent of the people were excluded, but there were still close to ten thousand people. Following that was the age selection. More than half of the people were directly eliminated.
In the end, only over 1,000 people met the true standards of the competition.
However, these thousand people were considered incredible. It was enough to show that there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Great Tang Dynasty. The Great Tang Dynasty also did not carry out a mass selection. After all, True Martial Stage warriors could be considered as the strongest in their region. A small place like the Clear Spirit City was enough to be a City Lord. Especially True Martial Stage warriors below the age of 25, they possessed extremely high talent.
In order to increase efficiency, those who were at the Late True Martial Stage or above could advance in the first round. In other words, only those who were at the Middle Period of True Martial Stage or below would need to participate in the first round of the competition.
Those who were below the Late True Martial Stage occupied more than half of the participants, and there were about 800 of them. These 800 people would draw lots, and they would take turns competing against each other. The top 100 who won the most would be promoted to the next round of the competition.
In the first round, Ling Feng naturally won the most with ease.
In the beginning, no one paid attention to him, and no one knew who he was. After all, Ling Feng had just recently risen to fame, so it was normal that they didn't know who he was.
There was a young genius from a hidden family whose strength had already reached the peak of the Middle Period of True Martial Stage. He saw that Ling Feng was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his strength was only at the Early True Martial Stage. His confidence instantly increased, and he planned to let Ling Feng know his true strength. At the same time, he wanted to make his name known as the hidden family, but he didn't expect Ling Feng to knock him off the stage with just a single strike.
The young genius of the hidden family thought that he had made a mistake. Ling Feng must be an old monster, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. He wanted the Imperial Court to test him.
How dare he question the Imperial Court of Great Tang? He must be tired of living. How could the Imperial Court make a mistake in their test formation? Later on, he directly stripped that person of his qualification to participate in the competition. He lost all his face and left the scene with his face covered in dust.
After this incident, Ling Feng began to attract the attention of many people. At the same time, some people who came from the Sword City recognized Ling Feng. Therefore, the news of Ling Feng condensing ten layers of origin energy clouds in the Sword City and passing the nine lightning tribulations quickly spread.
In a short period of time, topics related to Ling Feng had spread across the entire arena. Almost all the major powers had set Ling Feng as their number one hiding target.
However, there were also some people who didn't have full confidence in Ling Feng. Although Ling Feng was very talented, he was still a genius. Furthermore, his strength was only at the early True Martial Stage. Perhaps he could even compete with a Late Middle Period of True Martial Stage with his incredible talent. However, compared to those Peak of True Martial Stage, or even those old and talented young men who had condensed Mortal and Earth Restoration Pills... Still a little tender.
Among them, there were a lot of people from hidden families. They were usually isolated from the world and did not know anything about the world. They spent all their time and energy on cultivation. Therefore, it was not surprising that there were a few extremely strong disciples in the family.
It was said that some of the hidden clans, the younger generation, had already condensed Earth Pills. Their strength was unfathomable. They were on par with Gui Wanjian from the Haotian Sect, Murong Haoqi from the Cangnan Academy, and the Steel Wood Wolf from Yuanzong. In fact, they were even stronger.
Of course, this was only hearsay. As for what was going on, they would need to compete to know.
Next, Ling Feng's battle attracted a lot of attention. He won a hundred matches in a row on the same day, firmly occupying the first place on the list. Just like that, the first day of the competition ended.
There were still seven days left, and they were in such a concentrated state. There were at least eight hundred people. Ling Feng had won seven hundred and ninety-nine matches, and almost none of them had lost a single match. Regarding this, everyone had become numb to it.
It seemed like it would be strange if Ling Feng didn't win.
Of course, there were also some other dark horses, and one of them was a young descendant of a hidden family, the Great Desolate Chen Family. His name was... He was at the Middle Period of True Martial Stage, and it was said that he had a unique physique. He was extremely strong, and had won 790 matches.
There was also a hidden sect called the Bright King Sect, which was a rare body-refining sect. Similar to Gui Yuanzong, there was also a peerless genius. His nickname was Rock, and his body seemed to be cast from steel. Ordinary people would not be able to break through his defense. He could only watch helplessly as he was sent flying by a punch.
Of course, there were still many more.
After eight days of the first round of the competition, Ling Feng finally entered the second round with the result of being ranked first. At this time, only three hundred people were still able to participate in the competition.
Amongst these three hundred people, the Cangnan Academy, Haotian Sect, Gui Yuanzong and the three major families of Royal City occupied more than half of the total.
What surprised Ling Feng was Lin Hualong's wife. The meatball-like girl was actually a Peak of True Martial Stage warrior. Furthermore, Lin Hualong had entered the second round of the competition with the strength of an Early True Martial Stage warrior. His ranking was also very close to the top. Surprisingly, he was ranked tenth.
Ling Feng couldn't believe his own eyes, but the fact was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
"How is it? Boss, am I alright?"
