When Jian Zhi came back to his senses, the sky had already turned bright. It was obvious that the long night had passed unknowingly.

Feeling his body, Jian Zhi said softly with some disappointment, "There's actually no breakthrough. We can't be so unlucky, can we? I encountered the failure rate of less than 20%?" Teacher, do you know what's going on? "

After a while, Elder Shi's voice did not reach him. Jian Zhi changed to shouting in his heart, "Is teacher here?" After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Jian Zhi's heart was moved. Could it be that the depletion of his soul force had caused him to fall asleep again? It should be like this. This was bad, he actually did not break through, and could only rely on his sword skills to fight it out. Tomorrow, the Blood Martial Meet would begin, and there was only one day left.

Clearly, a day had quietly passed. For Jian Zhi, it was very short because, as he had expected, he had not broken through the barrier and was still stuck at the intermediate Sword Spirit level. After all, a single day was not enough.

On the day of the Blood Martial Arts Competition.

"How is Zhi, did he break through?" Hearing this voice, Jian Zhi opened his eyes in a somewhat depressed manner. Even after a day and a night of constantly trying to break through the barrier, he still remained motionless, causing Jian Zhi to feel a little disheartened. He could only wait for the match to break through.

"Squeak!"

Jian Zhi walked to the door and opened it. He forced a smile and said, "Hehe! Zi Xuan, you have come. Come in, you can see that you haven't broken through yet, but you must have confidence in me. Even if you challenge me to a higher level, I have a certain amount of confidence!

Seeing the haggard look on Jian Zhi's face, Xue Zixuan advised with some pity: "It's fine! I haven't broken through either. I believe in you, and if I can't beat you by then, I can admit defeat. I'll save my life first, and then I'll think of a way to deal with other matters later!

"Put it down Zi Xuan. I'm not an idiot. I know what to do. You've come to call me to register with you, right?" Jian Zhi stroked Xue Zixuan's silvery-white hair and said with a smile.

Feeling Jian Zhi caress her hair, Xue Zixuan nodded her head and smiled sweetly, "When you go to register for the cucumber vegetables, it will be cold. Relax, I have already registered for you, and today is the preliminary competition. Father will speak on behalf of the empire.

"I was still worried. Since it's like this, I am relieved. Let's talk while we're walking." Saying this, Jian Zhi stepped out of the door and Xue Zixuan followed closely behind him. Jian Zhi continued to ask, "What is the process of this convention?"

Hearing Jian Zhi's question, Xue Zixuan smiled and explained, "It's like this, the registration quota is limited. The first round of the preliminaries is the elimination round, and the elimination round will be held for at least a month, with only sixteen people remaining out of the ten thousand. Then, the final round of the top four will begin, the semi-finals, and then the third, and the final round will be held for at least a month."

At this time, Jian Zhi and Xue Zixuan were holding hands and had already left Chu Yuan Palace and were walking towards the outside of the Imperial Palace.

"Your Highness, Princess, this way please ?"

Not long after, under Xue Zixuan's company, Jian Zhi came outside the Imperial Palace, and under the guidance of a guard, arrived in front of a horse carriage. Under the guidance of a guard, he arrived in front of a horse carriage, and under the guidance of a carriage, there was only one horse.

Due to the abolition of Xue Zixuan's princess, Xue Feng ordered that it was forbidden to spread the news, so the ordinary guards and maids were not aware of this.

"Zhi Er! Are you sure it's possible? " At this time, Xue Feng walked up to Jian Zhi and sized him up before frowning and asking.

Understanding what Xue Feng was saying, Jian Zhi smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry royal father, believe me. I will absolutely not disappoint you!"

"Good!" "I look forward to your performance in the Grand Meeting." After saying good bye, Xue Feng turned around and boarded his carriage.

As Jian Zhi and Xue Zixuan boarded the same carriage, the Royal Guards majestically rushed towards the plaza in the center of the city. That was the location where all previous Blood Martial Meetings would be held.

Along the way, ordinary citizens knelt down one by one to pay their respects, sending the convoy off to the central plaza. Xue Zixuan would occasionally show her head and wave her arms, while Jian Zhi did the same as Xue Zixuan and waved his arms from the other side.

"Look! That's the little princess, she's too beautiful. Whoever can marry her will be blessed with a few lifetimes worth of fortune! " The commoner A said to commoner B, who was standing next to him.

Stop dreaming, don't you see that the youth beside her can sit in the same carriage as the little princess? This means that their relationship must be quite deep. The commoner laughed.

Just like this, the group of people were escorted to the central square. As they looked at the sea of people, Jian Zhi sighed, "How big is this place exactly? And this person must be at least a few hundred million."

"That's right!" "There are at least several million square meters in the central plaza and ten billion people in the Blood Sword Empire. These billions of people all come from all over the empire, so compared to these several hundred million people, there aren't that many. After all, this is a grand gathering, and father will personally oversee it." Hearing Jian Zhi's question, Xue Zixuan sighed.

"Look, His Majesty has arrived!"

"Hua!"

Wherever the caravan passed, they would automatically give way to a spot. Some ordinary people even knelt down, and some cultivators respectfully bowed as well. Immediately, the loud voice of nearly eighty percent of the people in the square resounded: "Welcome, Emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live the Emperor!" The sound was deafening and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

Along the way, Jian Zhi, Xue Zixuan, and the rest all covered their ears with their sword qi. They could only hear faint shouts, while some ordinary citizens blocked their ears. It was clear that they could not endure this.

Only after arriving at the special location reserved for the royal family did the voices stop. Jian Zhi said with a wry smile, "Isn't this a little too enthusiastic? When will the Grand Meeting begin?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Father's prestige in the empire is extremely high, so there's no need to rush. In a while, Father will announce the start of the competition, do you see that large stone platform? When the time comes, we can go up together and find our opponents by drawing lots, then we will know who is our opponent." Xue Zixuan explained.

"Quiet ~ ~ ~!" I am the overall host for this year's Grand Meeting, Xie Lan! "Next, we would like to invite our empire's most important figure, Great Emperor Xue, to announce the start of the Blood Martial Meet!"

Hearing the origin of the voice, because JianZhi and the others were at the very front of the group, JianZhi was able to easily see that person's appearance. It was a rather beautiful young woman, and the other party was using the most standard language of the sword qi continent to speak to the people below the field, with the help of the air-wheat (a tool that could store sword Qis as well as increase sound).

"Long live Great Emperor Xue! Long live Great Emperor Xue! "

As the beautiful host finished her sentence, the audience burst into a frenzy once again as they shouted towards the stage.

At this time, a figure stepped out of the air and stood silently in the air. This person was the great Emperor Xue Feng. The crowd immediately quieted down. It was impossible for there to be no sound, but under the pressure of that expert, the sound gradually became softer and softer.

"I, Xue Feng, declare that the thirty-third Blood Martial Arts Competition has officially begun!" Xue Feng said in a clear voice.
