At ten o'clock sharp, an old man dressed in luxurious clothing stood up from the platform. His loud voice spread throughout the entire venue.

"Quiet, everyone, please calm down. This old man is Jin Xingtian, and today is the opening day of the southern youth martial competition that I am hosting. Here, I represent my Jin Family and the participants who have come to represent the participants and spectators to express my sincere gratitude. This year's Grand Meeting could be said to be unprecedented in history. We received a total of 114 applications for Sword Sect, and other than the disciples of these sects, there are more than a thousand applications for the individual competition. In order to thank everyone for your support, our Jin Family has decided that this time around, the reward quota has been increased by 20% from the previous competition. The champion of the individual competition will also be able to obtain a set of A-Ranked Protective Gear. "

Hearing this, the audience went into an uproar, and the discussion immediately became lively.

"Is this Jin Family very rich? They must have something besides fame to hold this convention. "

"Jin Family is very rich, if they were to earn fame, it would be enough for them since long ago. When Pineflower s are mentioned, there are no powers on the continent that do not know about it. Even some disciples of our Tianshan Sword Sect have been recruited over, but Jin Family is a very good person, they do not need these disciples to leave their original sects, if we request them to, they will let them go, but if something happens to these disciples who are working for Jin Family, we will not interfere. Actually, the main reason why Jin Family organizes this convention is so that it can earn money. "

"Earning money?" "You can make money from this?" Lee Xun was puzzled.

"Heh heh, of course you wouldn't know if you stayed at the bottom of the mountain all year round. The purpose of this competition had always been to make money from the start. Everyone was a gambler. If there was a winner or loser in this competition, it could naturally be used to set up a gambling house. They would invite many large clans to come and gamble before the competition, to see who would be the best judge of the situation. This is also the reason why we aren't willing to send the best disciple within the age of thirty to help others marry. And just look at the people who came to watch the match, the one with the lowest entry position was one of the three gold coins. Just this ticket alone is not a small amount of income. "

"There can't be a conspiracy behind this, right?" When Lee Xun heard about the gambling house, he immediately thought of the gambling house.

"It can't be said that they didn't have it at all, but since Jin Family doesn't have that kind of guts, there's no need for them to do it. They don't even dare to take the risk of offending all of Sword Sect in the south. And for the past few hundred years, it was indeed because of the fairness of the Jin Family that we participated every single time. "

"Can we bet ourselves?"

"Of course you can, but the gambling houses that are opened in the outside world of Jin Family will usually wait until the top eight are formed, and in any case, the more you push yourself forward, the more the Jin Family will earn."

Furthermore, who would complain about having too much money? That old man Ouyang Qingfeng would never have guessed that I was going to place a bet, wouldn't a hundred thousand purple coins be the reward for the previous competition? That cunning old man had been tricked by him again.

After a while of discussion, Jin Xingtian's voice came out again.

"It seems that the reward my Jin Family provides this time is still satisfactory to everyone. Next, I will announce the competition rules that are of concern to everyone here. Seeing the eight stages in the center, those who were familiar with the tournament all knew that this time, the team competition would be conducted using the method of arena master Sword Sect. The first batch of arena master Sword Sect was the top eight in the last tournament, and each arena master Sword Sect could only accept a maximum of four challenges per day. The defending period was ten days, so for the first five days, aside from the challenge for the main Sword Sect, the rest of the Sword Sect had to complete one challenge, otherwise, it would be subject to abstention. During the final stage of the team competition, lots were drawn to decide the victor. The victor would be promoted to the next round. The individual competition will be held after the team competition ends. The specific competition rules will be announced after the team competition's champion is announced. Please hurry up and register for the individual competition before the time limit of five days has passed. If you don't say anything more, then I will ask the eight arena master Sword Sect representatives to come to me to draw the stage number for the arena. "

"Fen, go ahead. We will rely on you to draw lucky numbers."

"Sure, sure. Which number is it?" Hearing that Lee Xun wanted his to smoke, Tian Fen was extremely happy.

"Of course, number six is the best for the six of us." Six was a number that had a special meaning to Chinese people. Even though he had been in the Sword Soul Continent for twenty years, Lee Xun still had not forgotten that the word "Six Paths" was imprinted in Lee Xun's soul.

"Haha, I'll be going then." After finishing her sentence, the little girl ran towards the VIP stage.

"But soon, the little girl came back dejectedly." Senior brother, I drew number five, I'm only missing one. "

"# 5 is also not bad. Look, # 5 is the closest one to us."

"Hee hee, that's good." Tian Fen who was sulking with her just moments ago became happy again.

Jin Xingtian's voice sounded again.

"Next, I'll announce the names of all the arena champions." Number 1, Deer Mountain Sword Sect, Number 2, Coiling Dragon Sword Sect, Number 3, Wolf Fang Sword Sect, Number 4, Tiger City Sword Sect, Number 5, No. 6, Black Mountain Sword Sect, Number 7, Da Yu Mountain Sword Sect, Number 8, Black Sword Sect. Please send someone to stand on the arena as soon as possible, and register for the Sword Sect s that you wish to challenge. Each arena only accepts the challenges of the first four teams to register for the competition. The challenge will officially begin in half an hour. "

"Lee Xun, arrange some people to go up on stage."

"Which one of you is willing to be the first to go to the arena?" Lee Xun asked playfully.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

"..."

All five of them fought to be the first to go to the gala, and even the usually quiet Qin Qing was no exception.

"I'm the one who asked him to admit defeat."

"Huh?"

Everyone looked at Lee Xun with their eyes wide open.

"Don't just look at me like that, we really have to defend this place for ten days straight. Don't you think it's too tiring to count how many matches we'll have to fight?" We just need to win a seat on the tenth day. " Lee Xun casually shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Cough cough, Lee Xun, this is related to the face of our Sword Sect. If this were to spread out, our Tianshan Sword Sect would lose without a fight, it would not sound good. Are you considering it?" He never would have thought that a person with such powerful strength like Lee Xun would actually choose to admit defeat the moment they appeared. He had been counting on the six of them to gather together and make a name for himself with their Tianshan Sword Sect.

"Elder Gu, you should know that there are a lot of powerful fighters this time. Rather than the final failure, it's better for us to conserve our strength."

"But, Lee Xun, you should think about it again. With the strength you six have now, guarding the stage will not be a problem." When Elder Gu finished speaking, the other elders also agreed with him, while Qin Qing and the other three did not agree either.

On the Sword Soul Continent, every old brand of Sword Sect held a great value for his own reputation. Disciples like Qin Qing, who were sent onto the Sword Sect at the age of seven or eight, after receiving so many years of education, were even more loyal to the Sword Sect. Lee Xun was naturally an exception. Although he had entered the Tianshan Sword Sect at the age of ten, he had never considered himself as someone with a Tianshan Sword Sect. Naturally, he did not care too much about the reputation of the Tianshan Sword Sect. Furthermore, Lee Xun was the only one among the crowd who had been trained in military matters. His reputation and victory, as well as the way he weighed it, were completely different from the rest of the people present.

"You should all know, that this time Sect Leader appointed me as the team leader, and I agreed to take first place back. As long as we take first place, there's no harm in this small incident."

Everyone heard that Lee Xun had brought out the Sect Leader, and could only give up.

"I don't think any of you are willing to be the representative for admitting defeat. Hehe, the truth is, I am also unwilling. Forget about the three girls, the three of us men will go fight and the losers will go. " Lee Xun laughed.

The three of them guessed their moves, and the last unlucky person was Zhou Jie. Zhou Jie slowly walked towards Stage Five with a bitter face.

"Zhou Jie, do your best." Tian Fen seemed to feel that Zhou Jie was not depressed enough and shouted.

Hearing Tian Fen's words, everyone in Tianshan Sword Sect was stunned for a moment, then they all held their stomachs and laughed out loud. A few elders who were annoyed in their hearts even choked on their tea until they coughed.

"Fen, Zhou Jie will hate you to death this time." Qin Qing joked.

"Hmph, he dares?" Tian Fen's beautiful face slanted.

Not long after, the contestants from the first round were all standing on the platform. Tianshan Sword Sect was facing off against a nameless small sect, but the first person they sent on stage was actually quite strong, around the sixth step.

"Please prepare your Sword Sect in time to save the next person's competition time. All judges in the arena, please do your best to supervise. I announce that the challenge has officially begun. "

In the fifth ring.

The man fighting with Zhou Jie cupped his fists and said: "Three Ultimate Sword Sect, Lu Tianyou."

"Tianshan Sword Sect, Zhou Jie."

"Show me your weapon."

"I, I admit defeat, I admit defeat on behalf of Tianshan Sword Sect." Zhou Jie's face flushed red.
