C24 A Well-prepared Trap

In the center of the Donghai City, there was an enormous battle platform that was a hundred meters tall. The entire battle platform was built from the hardest limestone. Despite being eroded by the wind and rain for dozens of years and thousands of fierce battles, the battle platform was still intact. The degree of hardness was indeed astounding.

Xue Loong raised his head proudly, as if he didn't care about everyone else. Together with Hee Yu, Fang Ruoyu, and the other young geniuses from the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute, and accompanied by the old patriarch of the Three Great Clans, they strode into the center of the fighting stage.

At this moment, there were only Xue Loong and the other eight people standing on the spacious central fighting stage, which made it seem extremely spacious.

Xue Loong crossed his arms in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word, as if he was waiting for someone.

Hee Yu, Fang Ruoyu, and the other four young elites were looking around the Martial Arts Practice Field arrogantly. Their eyes were filled with disdain, as if there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Donghai City, and none of them were worthy of their attention.

As for the top three experts of the Donghai City, the old patriarch of the Three Great Clans, he slightly bowed his head and stood behind the five people of the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute. His humility was very fitting to the word "licking a dog."

The crowd on the central fighting stage was seen by the hundreds of thousands of people nearby. Therefore, the first round of discussion began.

"Is he that arrogant?"

"Yesterday, it was this group of people who were defeated by the Royal Princess with one sword strike and fled, right?"

"I wonder where they got their pride from!"

"If Eldest Imperial Princess was this arrogant, I would have tolerated it. A Heavenly Elephant Stage Layer Three reversing the Heavenly Elephant Stage Layer Five, this kind of heaven's pride does indeed have the right to be arrogant, but as the loser, what right does that Xue Loong have to be so arrogant?"

Due to the influence of the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute, the people of Donghai City only dared to whisper about it. However, if the whispers of hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, it would be a terrifying sound wave!

As expected, the eight people on the central fighting stage could clearly hear the discussions coming from all directions.

The expressions of Hee Yu, Fang Ruoyu, and the other four young elites instantly turned cold.

Last night, they were humiliated in the Lan family because there was a rare genius, Chu Qingcheng, but now, she was ridiculed by a group of ordinary people. What was going on?

As the leader of the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute who came to the Donghai City, Xue Loong couldn't bear it. After all, he was the one who was turned around last night, and the one who was defeated by someone who was two levels lower than him was also him!

"Shut up!" Xue Loong suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice. His voice was mixed with a trace of spiritual energy, and it could clearly be heard by everyone. It could even shake the hearts of people.

For a moment, the central square, which had gathered hundreds of thousands of people, fell into a strange silence.

The surroundings quieted down, and Xue Loong's expression eased up a little.

Xue Loong growled again and said, "Is Xia Xingchen here?"

No one responded to Xue Loong. The strange silence in the central square remained. Only Xue Loong's voice was still lingering in the void, echoing in the air.

"I'm afraid he won't dare to come." Hee Yu sneered, "Instructor Xue, it's fine if Xia Xingchen doesn't come. If Xia Xingchen really comes, we'll follow the plan and let him die without a burial ground."

Xue Loong did not answer Hee Yu's question. He just nodded slightly. After that, Xue Loong poured the spiritual energy into his voice once again and said in a deep voice, "I am one of the eight great instructors of Tianchu Martial Arts Institute. Xue Loong... And now... I officially declare that the entrance exam of Tianchu Martial Arts Institute will begin."

"There are a total of three stages in this exam. Those who pass the three stages will be able to join the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute."

"There are no rules and restrictions in this exam. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. Life and death will be decided by the heavens."

"Now, the first stage of the exam will begin. The preliminary selection."

"Those who wish to join the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute can go on stage now."

As soon as Xue Loong finished his words, around the center of the battlefield... Although these people had just mocked the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute, they still couldn't help but laugh. However... In fact, these people really wanted him to become a member of the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute. After all... There were abundant cultivation resources and countless secret techniques there. And an extremely bright path that led to the heavens!

Sweeping his cold eyes across the surroundings, Xue Loong couldn't help but sneer when he saw thousands of rogue cultivators crazily leaping onto the fighting stage. His smile was filled with contempt and ridicule.

"Earlier, you mocked our Tianchu Martial Arts Institute, but in the blink of an eye, you can't wait to join us. Ridiculous." The sneer on Hee Yu's face became stronger and stronger. He looked at the surrounding participants with an even more mocking expression.

"This is the nature of a human." On Fang Ruoyu's beautiful face, there was no change in expression. There was only endless killing intent.

"The strong are respected. This is the eternal truth. No matter how strong Chu Qingcheng is, she will never change. She didn't do anything to our Tianchu Martial Arts Institute, let alone a mere Xia Xingchen. " Xue Fei laughed mockingly, "I'm looking forward to it. Xia Xingchen will appear soon. It would be best if... After being attacked by us, just like those people... We will fight to join the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute. "

"Xia Xingchen, do you really dare to come here? Without the protection of Chu Qingcheng and the mysterious Heavenly Elephant Stage Layer Four, he would only be a lowly ant. Furthermore, we have prepared a trap for him. We didn't even give Chu Qingcheng and the Heavenly Elephant Stage Layer Four a chance to intervene. Xia Xingchen will die! " The boorish Looh Han sneered.

While Hee Yu and the other three were conversing with each other, the side of the fighting stage was already filled with rogue cultivators who were participating in the Tianchu Martial Arts Institute's test, as well as the young elites from the major families of Donghai City.

"Hee Yu, I'll leave the test to you all." Xue Loong didn't even bother to look at the group of people who were participating in the assessment, he just turned around. He walked towards the row of independent seats below the fighting stage. As he walked, he said to Hee Yu, "You will personally take part in the third stage of the examination."

"Got it, Instructor Xue." Hee Yu nodded at Xue Loong. After that, he glanced at the thousands of participants gathered on the fighting stage. He said proudly, "The first stage of the examination is very simple. It will be on this fighting stage. You all look for your opponents to fight one on one. As long as you can win five battles in a row without losing. Then you can come down and find me."

After saying this, Hee Yu and the other three jumped off the fighting stage and appeared next to Xue Loong.

When the thousands of participants on the fighting stage heard the rules of the first stage, almost everyone was stunned for a moment.

A random opponent could advance to the second stage after winning five matches in a row?

Although the rules were simple, the hidden meaning behind them was too great!

Firstly, this was a test of the ability of judgment and analysis of the participants. If one wanted to win five matches in a row, then the simplest method was to find and defeat a person whose strength was inferior to theirs in the shortest amount of time!

Then, in terms of numbers, winning five people in a row meant that only one of the six people could advance. If one person won three matches and lost the fourth match, then the person who advanced in the end would be equal to eliminating eight people!

It had to be said that this sort of competition system was truly cruel. In a single round, out of these several thousand people, only a few hundred remained, or even fewer!

The participants on the fighting stage were stunned for a moment. Many of them had already figured out the key point. Immediately... A huge chaotic battle had finally begun. In fact, the unusually wide battle platform could no longer accommodate so many people fighting at the same time. Many people had already chosen to fight below the fighting stage!

The entrance examination was in full swing, but Xia Xingchen, who was the center of attention in the city, still did not appear in the central square.

At this moment, Xia Xingchen walked out of the Lan family's ancestral hall unhurriedly. It seemed like he had just finished his seclusion...
