Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 350: Martial Arts Ceremony Begins, Preliminary Round

The people of the Medicine Clan also noticed Yao Ling's abnormality at this moment, and they all looked over in the direction her gaze led.

When they saw that it was Lin Yuan, anger and vigilance appeared in everyone's eyes. However, they all remained silent tacitly, without uttering any useless bad words or making any boring provocative moves.

The strong are respected, which is the universal rule of the continent, naturally including the Medicine Clan.

When the number one genius of the Medicine Clan lost to Lin Yuan, all the younger generations of the Medicine Clan were not qualified to be arrogant to him until someone defeated Lin Yuan.

At this moment, a purple shadow flashed, and Zi Yan landed on Lin Yuan's seat and sat next to him.

Her charming and seductive body clung tightly to Lin Yuan, her slender jade fingers naturally fell on the soft flesh on his waist, her lips leaned against his ear, and she chuckled in a voice that only he could hear: "Why, my brother Lin Yuan, do you have a new prey again?"

As she spoke, Zi Yan's fingers moved and pinched gently, as if she was about to say something that made Lin Yuan gasp.

On the side, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin looked at Zi Yan's actions, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Even for the Little Medical Fairy, it was no problem for her to have intimate behavior with Lin Yuan in private, but under the attention of so many people... she still felt a little uncomfortable; Zi Yan was completely different, she had always been bold and unrestrained. In a sense, she was very good at controlling Lin Yuan.

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Yuan just smiled slightly, did not answer the question, but gently stroked the back of her smooth hand.

Are you kidding? How can you answer such a landmine-like question casually?
Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze from the Medicine Clan and turned towards the direction of the arena... The martial arts ceremony was about to begin.

On the stage, the Ninth Elder and Mang Tianchi stood solemnly.

"Dangdang——"

In this noisy place, bursts of distant bell sounds suddenly rang out again, echoing in the square for a long time. The noisy sounds in the square quickly died down under the baptism of the bell sounds, and soon returned to silence.

"I hereby declare that the martial arts ceremony has officially begun!"

The Ninth Elder looked around and announced loudly, "Next, the Earth Ranking Battle will be held. Those who are interested in participating... enter the venue!"

As the Ninth Elder finished his words, the stands suddenly became crowded with people. One figure after another rose into the air in some simple or ostentatious ways, drew elegant arcs in the air, and then landed steadily on the stage.

The moment they entered the arena, everyone looked up at the countless powerful people watching the battle around them, and a fiery desire to fight quietly grew in their hearts.

This is the brightest stage for the younger generation.

A brilliant bolt of lightning struck down, and Lei Dong, leading Lei Yun and Lei Ping, landed on the stage. After proudly glancing around, he looked straight at Lin Yuan, not concealing the fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Lei Dong, this guy seems to be a real war maniac!"

Lin Yuan slowly stood up and smiled confidently at everyone around him: "I'm going to compete, wait for my triumphant return!"

Then, he took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, the space on the ring shook slightly, and Lin Yuan suddenly found himself among the crowd on the ring.

"This guy is not only good at controlling fire, but also has great spatial proficiency... He is not an ordinary person!"

On the stage, many people turned their heads and cast their gazes at the Qingyi figure that suddenly appeared. Looking at his calm standing posture, even the talented descendants of the ancient clans couldn't help but flash a bit of fear in their eyes.

In any case, Yao Tian was the person that the Yao clan had fully cultivated. Lin Yuan was able to defeat him with absolute advantage, which was something that few people present could do.

However, there were also many people who showed goodwill to Lin Yuan, including people from ancient clans such as the Yan Clan and the Shi Clan.

After he defeated Yao Tian and further proved his talent in alchemy, more and more goodwill came to him.

Soon, all those who wanted to participate entered the venue.

Among the contestants, the majority were from the hidden sects in Zhongzhou, but the truly powerful ones almost all came from ancient clans. Unexpectedly but understandably, neither Gu Xun'er nor Yao Ling participated in this competition.

The Ninth Elder glanced at the dozens of people on the stage and chuckled, "Yes, there are more contestants this time than expected. It's time to start! Elder Mang..."

Mang Tianchi nodded, flipped his hand and took out a silver ancient jade. After injecting the power of space into it, the ancient jade immediately flew up.

Under the gaze of everyone, the ancient jade flew into the air. A strange silver light emanated from it, emitting a dazzling brightness. The space around it also rapidly distorted. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge space door several feet in size.

Looking at the curious eyes of the contestants, I, the Ninth Elder, smiled slightly and began to explain the preliminary rules in detail.

"The main competition of the martial arts ceremony will be held here, and the format will be a one-on-one single-player duel."

"However, before that, since there are so many participants in this martial arts ceremony, everyone needs to hold a preliminary competition to select the participants for the main competition..."

"Only the sixteen who have passed the preliminaries are eligible to participate in the main competition on this stage!"

"And the space passage above leads to the place where the preliminaries are held - a trial site of our clan. In that trial site, there are sixteen numbered jade tokens. As long as you obtain a numbered jade token, you will be qualified to participate in the preliminary thunder competition..."

"The sixteen numbered jade tokens in the trial ground represent the sixteen contestants participating in the main competition."

"May I ask the two seniors how can we obtain the numbered jade order?" A young man in white asked with a bow in a steady voice.

"Haha, of course I got it with my strength!" Mang Tianchi smiled and said calmly: "It's useless to talk, just follow me! When we get there, you will understand everything." As he spoke, he stepped into the air and flew straight into the space gate in the air, and then quickly disappeared...

Seeing this, Lin Yuan followed closely behind, his figure turned into a streak of light, sank into the space gate, and disappeared in the strong light inside the space gate. Following him, the other contestants also set off, turning into streams of light and quickly swept into the space gate.

Just one minute later, only the Ninth Elder was left on the stage.

The Ninth Elder looked at the people in the audience seats and grinned, "Everyone, the preliminaries are about to begin. We will wait here..."

After saying that, he threw out a silver device under the slightly puzzled gazes of the crowd, then stretched out his hands and quickly formed a few mysterious seals. A ray of strange lightning was released from the palms of his hands and fell on the silver device.

In an instant, dozens of beams of light were reflected from the silver device and transformed into dozens of silver mirrors in the void.

"Show!" The Ninth Elder shouted softly, and ripples suddenly appeared in the mirror.

After a moment, different pictures appeared one by one in different silver mirrors. In the largest picture, the contestants who had just left the arena and a huge black tower standing in the sea of ​​thunder came into everyone's sight.

The ninth elder's voice sounded somewhat proud: "Haha, we can watch the preliminaries through these pictures..."
-
This is a silver world built by thunder.

A huge "lake" of nearly ten thousand feet was embedded in the pitch-black void. However, what flowed in this "lake" was not ordinary water, but was filled with dazzling silver lightning.

Lightning flashes roamed freely in the lake, interweaving and colliding with each other, making a deafening roar.

"Rumble--"

Loud rumbling sounds continued to sound and spread from the sea of ​​thunder, filling the entire sea of ​​thunder with a power of heaven and earth that made people tremble with fear and frightened ghosts and gods.

Deep in the sea of ​​thunder, a thousand-foot-high tower rose from the ground, standing in the sea of ​​thunder like a giant beast.

This huge black tower, rooted in the vast sea of ​​thunder, madly absorbs the endless energy in the sea of ​​thunder, and emits a mysterious silver light from time to time.

The outer periphery of the giant tower is covered by a circular transparent shield.

This seemingly fragile shield is actually indestructible, as if it isolates the noise of the sea of ​​thunder and creates a strange tranquility.

At a certain moment, the empty space in front of the giant tower began to fluctuate, and a huge space gate dozens of feet wide appeared. Then, one after another, figures quickly rushed out of the space gate and landed steadily in front of the giant tower.

Moreta!
Although the ancient handwriting had been ravaged by time, the pressure in it seemed to come from the soul, which made everyone look stunned.

Lin Yuan, who was more sensitive to the soul, had a solemn look in his eyes.

He was sure that the person who left this plaque was definitely a truly powerful person at the top of the world.

Although the remaining soul aura was extremely weak, Lin Yuan would never mistake the essence of the soul that was stronger than Hunxuzi's. Hunxuzi had already reached the Great Perfection of Heavenly Rank. The only soul that was stronger than him was the soul of the Emperor Realm!
I think that even if this plaque was not left by the Thunder Clan’s Dou Di, it was left by an ancestor of the Thunder Clan who achieved the soul of the emperor.

For the eight ancient clans, a force that has been passed down for more than ten thousand years, the powerful people who are unattainable in the eyes of others are not that rare for them.

Even a strong man at the semi-emperor level has probably appeared more than once in his clan.

The knowledge and heritage accumulated over tens of thousands of years have enabled the eight clans to survive as long as their bloodline power is not completely exhausted. As long as a divine bloodline appears, there is a good chance that it can be raised to a Nine-Star Douluo, making the clan glorious again for a period of time.

Therefore, for many ancient clans, nothing is more important than high-quality Dou Di bloodline.

"This should be the magic thunder pool of the Thunder Clan!" Recovering his distracted thoughts, Lin Yuan glanced at the endless sea of ​​thunder and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Tsk, it's really an amazing place, even larger than the Void Thunder Pond near Dragon Island."

"Moreover, the feeling of energy flow here is quite similar to that of the Void Thunder Pool. It seems that according to the original trajectory, the dean can find the Void Thunder Pool near Dragon Island in the boundless void in the next few years. It is not just a coincidence..."

“In such a treasure land of thunder element, it is not surprising even if there is really Nine Profound Golden Thunder.”

At one side, Mang Tianchi glanced at the dazed crowd and said lightly: "This plaque was left by the patriarch of my clan seven thousand years ago..." The slightly arrogant voice awakened the dazed crowd.

Looking at the contestants, his voice became more serious: "The More Tower ahead is where the preliminaries will be held."

"After entering, the first sixteen contestants who reach the fourth level will receive a numbered jade token and pass the preliminary round."

"This is the space stone, take it!" Mang Tianchi waved his hand, and dozens of silver stones flew out of the ring and landed accurately in front of everyone.

"There are some difficult tests in the first three levels, which are not easy to pass. When your life is at stake, you can crush this space stone, and then you will be automatically teleported out. However, if you crush the space stone, you will lose the qualification to participate in the competition. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, reached out to take the space stone in front of them, and put it away - this was a matter of life and death.

"Then let's not waste any more time and prepare to enter!"

As he spoke, Mang Tianchi formed mysterious seals with his hands, and a silver light flashed out from his hands and shot onto the tightly closed door.
