Chapter 64: Gathering of Celebrities

  The vast square is now packed with people. These people are mostly descendants of the three major families. Only in the very center of the square does it seem relatively empty. This empty space is used for the competition. After the competition officially starts, the descendants of the three major families will show off their strength here.

  The competition is divided into three stages. The first stage tests the internal strength of the contestants, that is, the test of the unblocked martial arts meridians. In the second stage, the contestants need to perform martial skills exercises, which will be evaluated by the heads of the three major families and the saints of the Holy See.

  After these two rounds, five people will be eliminated. In other words, only ten people will be able to enter the third round. The third round is a one-on-one match in the order drawn by lottery, and each person must play against the remaining nine contestants once. Finally, the top five winners will be eligible to take the entrance examination of Violet Leaf Academy.

  The entire competition will be held for three days, as usual. The first and second rounds will end soon, probably only needing a morning session, and the real martial arts competition will start this afternoon.

  Inside the Central Plaza, at least several thousand people gathered to watch the competition, and they naturally discussed it. Although it hasn't started yet, the young masters of the three major families have already begun to predict which contestants will be able to enter the third round.

  Among the fifteen people participating in the competition from the three major families, the most promising ones are naturally Xia Yan, Xi Qiushui, Wang Yuyan, and Xia Zixing. The reason why Xia Yan is the most popular is still because of his battle in the Northern District's Fang Market. He was undefeated against Xu Huan, and as a 15-year-old young man, it was truly shocking.

  The last to enter the square were Yafen, the steward of the Extreme Challenge Arena, Gaodashan, the steward of the Mercenary Hall, and Mojiafen, the steward of the Auction House. These three people were also celebrities in Yushui City. The leaders of these three forces were all stewards of the Holy Temple of Yushui City, and they were now sitting on the high platform overlooking the scene below.

  After entering the venue with three people in front and back, they also sat down near the seat of their president. Apparently, these three forces did not intend to get close to any family.

  It was also like this in previous competitions!

  When the enchanting Yafen walked through the square, she couldn't help but cause a burst of whispers and sighs. Yafen's charm was simply too great.

  Xia Yan stood on the Xia family seat and saw Yafen appear, frowning.

  "If I use the Ling Luo sword when fighting with other contestants and Yafen sees it, will she suspect that I am the Ling Luo of the Extreme Challenge? Once my identity is exposed and spreads out, who knows what kind of huge waves it will stir up in Yu Shui City." Xia Yan furrowed his brow, slightly shaking his head as he thought to himself.

  "It seems that the Ling Luo Sword can no longer be used. With my current strength, even if I don't use the Ling Luo Sword, I'm afraid none of these dozen or so participants in the competition will be a match for me." His eyes flashing, Xia Yan had already decided to give up using the Ling Luo Sword in the competition.

  After more than half a month, Xia Yan had already merged thirty percent of the Heaven Feather Divine Gun, this top-grade secret manual. The power of the Ling Luo Sword in Xia Yan's hands was far superior to that of ordinary top-grade secret manuals.

  In the world, there are only a handful of top-grade human secret manuals that can rival the power of the Ling Luo Sword.

  "What's wrong with you, Xia Yan?"

  Xia Yan saw Ya Fen and shook his head, which was seen by Xia Feilong, who couldn't help but ask.

  Xia Yan Meng was startled and looked at Xia Fei Long, saying: "Oh, nothing."

  "Xia Yan, are you confident in defeating Wang Jia's Wang Yu Yan? And that Shi Po Tian's son, Shi Qiu Shui, although you easily defeated him on the streets of Fang City a month ago, this time you must not underestimate him. I heard that Shi Po Tian seems to have given Shi Qiu Shui the seven Gathering Qi Pills purchased by the Shi family, and with Shi Qiu Shui's decent innate talent, I'm afraid he has already opened up all 108 meridians of his body." Xia Fei Long's expression was somewhat solemn.

  He's worried that Xia Yan will underestimate his opponent!

  Even if one's strength is slightly stronger than the opponent, if they are complacent, they may still lose. In the previous competition, Xia's family only got one place, this time, no matter what, Xia's family must get more than two places.

  And now, Xia's family has the most confidence in a quota on Xia Yan's body.

  Xia Yan also nodded solemnly, "Tribe leader, I won't underestimate the enemy. For anyone, I will go all out."

  When Xia Yan said this, Xia Feilong nodded his head. He still trusted Xia Yan very much. After all, Xia Yan's performance had been very mature and stable recently.

  Taking the matter of Beiqu Fang's city as an example, if it were an ordinary young person, they would have probably taken advantage of the situation to kill Xi Qiushui, but Xia Yan did not. He considered much more than an ordinary young person.

  "Zi Xin, you must also go all out. You and Xia Yan are sure to take two spots. As for Xia Liu and the others, as long as one of them gets a spot, our Xia family will be able to get three assessment quotas, hehe..."

  Xia Feilong turned his gaze to Xia Zixing beside him, who was wearing a tight-fitting outfit today.

  "Ah, I'll try my best!" Xia Zixi's slender white fingers pinched slightly, her small mouth raised, and her firm expression said.

  At this time, Xia Yan saw that Xi Qiushui raised his long sword on the seat of the Xi family and pointed at himself with a provocative gesture, seemingly still laughing loudly.

  Xia Yan smiled lightly and shook his head, this autumn water was too frivolous.

  ……

  The seven high-ranking deacons sat on the seats, with four of them coming from surrounding towns. The other three were the presidents of the Extreme Challenge Arena, Auction House, and Mercenary Guild. In addition to the three family heads in the Central Plaza, ten out of the twelve deacons were present. The two absent deacons had gone to other cities and couldn't return in time. The Temple Master had also gone to Purple Leaf City. Although he wasn't a deacon of the Purple Leaf City Temple, as a core member of the Temple, he was required to attend important events.

  An older steward stood up. He was Hong Fei, the president of the auction house. Among the twelve stewards in the Yu Shui City Temple, his qualifications were the oldest.

  The master is not present, he is the person with the most say in the holy temple.

  Hong Fei stood up, his hands slightly raised, and his sparkling eyes scanned the entire scene.

  The originally bustling Central Square fell silent.

  Hong Fei didn't say much, just briefly explained the reason for the competition, which was simply because the number of places available for the assessment at Zǐyè College was limited, and the three major families in Yùshuǐ City only had five places, so they needed this competition to let the strongest performers participate in the assessment.

  Finally, Hong Fei raised his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Now, the competition officially begins."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a person from the Holy Temple walked into the arena. His name was Liu Fang, and he was the host of this competition. The competition among the three major families was to ensure fairness, so it was necessary for someone outside the three major families to host the competition.
