Chapter 294 Genius Battle

It was the fifth day after the three major forces joined forces to encircle and suppress the Ning family and the Tianhuo Alliance, that is, half a month after Ye Xingchen's return.

The City Lord's Mansion suddenly issued an announcement that the annual talent war in Huntian City will start in a day.

Every family can participate in the genius battle in Huntian City, and the top three in the end will be rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion. This is also a competition set up by the City Lord's Mansion to encourage the younger generation.

And last year, because Ye Xingchen left, he didn't participate.

The recent wars have been raging, and the City Lord's Mansion originally wanted to postpone the date of the competition, but after discussing with the Alchemist Association and the Tianxuan Chamber of Commerce, it was decided to proceed as scheduled.

After the announcement of the City Lord's Mansion was announced, at the same time, the City Lord's Mansion received the leaders of the five major forces, Lin Tianhu, Ye Yuanshan and others.

Tell them to temporarily cease fire, and after the genius battle is over, they can settle it at will.

And the five of them also reached an agreement that they would not do anything during the Genius War.

At this point, Ning Shaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least, he can relax for many days, and he doesn't have to worry about being attacked by people from the three major forces.

And on the streets of Huntian City, everyone is talking about the arrival of the Genius War, because if you want to be famous, the Genius War is a good shortcut.

Many families, whether big or small, are gearing up to send out their most outstanding disciples to participate in the talent competition.

There is no restriction on participation in the genius competition, as long as you dare to sign up, you can participate. After rounds of selection, the top ten rankings will finally be determined.

…………

Ning family, meeting hall.

Ning Shaoyun sat on the chair with a pensive expression, Ning Fengxue sat beside him quietly, and other elders sat on the chairs one after another.

After a long time, a smile appeared on Ning Shaoyun's face, he looked at Ning Fengxue, and said with a smile: "Fengxue, you have heard about this genius battle, right?"

Ning Fengxue nodded and said, "I know, father."

Ning Fengxue has always been brooding about last year's talent match, because in last year's talent match, in the finals, he lost to his rival Lin Hua, thus allowing Lin Hua to win the first place. In comparison, the difference is far.

Everyone is talking about No.1 Lin Hua, but no one is talking about No.2 Ning Fengxue.

Seeing the change in Ning Fengxue's face, Ning Shaoyun nodded, "Fengxue, this is an opportunity for our Ning family. If you show amazing talent in the competition, the City Lord's Mansion will recognize you." , has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion, maybe the City Lord's Mansion will come forward to protect our Ning family."

Hearing Ning Shaoyun's words, many elders looked at Ning Fengxue one after another, because they also thought this was an opportunity.

"But Ye Xingchen..." Ning Fengxue said in a low voice with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

He still hasn't come out of the shadow of being defeated by Ye Xingchen, and he is very irritable when he thinks of Ye Xingchen defeating him with one move.

Ning Shaoyun shook his head gently, and then said mysteriously: "I will give you a family heirloom. You have him, so you don't need to worry about Ye Xingchen at all. As long as you can get No.1 in the competition, our Ning family will be saved." gone."

Family treasure?After Ning Fengxue heard it, a terrifying golden light shot out from her eyes, and she hurriedly asked, "Father, can you really let me use it?"

Of course Ning Fengxue knows what the Ning family's family treasure is. If he has the family treasure, he is confident that he can defeat Ye Xingchen.

Ning Shaoyun nodded heavily.

After Ning Fengxue saw it, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he said, "Father, don't worry, this time I will definitely put Ye Xingchen under my feet."

…………

At the same time, all the families are preparing nervously, and they all want the most outstanding disciples of their families to get a good ranking in the genius competition.

And in the Ye family mansion, Ye Xingchen's courtyard.

Lin Qian and Ye Xingchen were sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, talking about old times.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year. Lin Qian has not changed, but Ye Xingchen has changed unfathomably.

Lin Qian took a sip of the tea on the stone table, with a smile on his face, looked at Ye Xingchen, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a year, you have already reached the grandmaster level, and I'm just a grandmaster junior pass The martial artist of the second stage, this gap is really..."

"Brother Lin, you don't have to blame yourself. You must always maintain a normal mind throughout your cultivation. Once your mood changes, your cultivation will stagnate." Ye Xingchen said with a smile.

"Oh, I've seen it too, don't worry about it, just let it be, by the way, Brother Ye, you will definitely participate in tomorrow's genius competition, right?" Lin Qian shook his head helplessly and asked.

Ye Xingchen also heard about this genius competition, he nodded and said, "I will participate."

In fact, Ye Xingchen didn't want to participate in this level of battle, but Ye Yuanshan once talked to Ye Xingchen.

Everything was for the family, and finally Ye Xingchen decided to participate.

"Well, you will definitely get No.1, there is no suspense." Lin Qian nodded heavily and said loudly.

"Haha." Ye Xingchen didn't speak, but just nodded and smiled.

"After this genius battle is over, maybe the ranking on the genius stele will change again?" Lin Qian muttered to himself.

…………

In the anxious waiting of everyone, the next day finally came.

Early in the morning, many families brought their younger generations to the central square of Huntian City.

This will be the battlefield for the genius battle. In the center of the central square there is a very huge martial arts platform, and in the front is a rostrum surrounded by stands.

The warriors who wanted to participate in the genius battle had already signed up yesterday, and the list has been unified today.

When Ye Xingchen arrived with Ye Yuanshan and the others, the square was already crowded with people. There were some unfamiliar faces everywhere, and of course some familiar faces could also be seen.

Ye Yuanshan talked to Ye Hu and the others, and then walked straight up to the rostrum. The patriarchs of all major families would sit on the rostrum, only the patriarchs of small families were not eligible to sit on it.

Ye Hu led the members of the Ye family to the area belonging to the Ye family, and next to the Ye family was the area of ​​the Lin family.

The two brothers Lin Qian and Lin Hua greeted Ye Xingchen.

When Ye Xingchen sat down, he suddenly felt someone staring at him. He turned his head to look, and suddenly found that in the opposite area, Ning Fengxue was looking at him with a sneer.

Ye Xingchen ignored Ning Fengxue's provocative gaze, and turned to continue talking with his younger sister Ye Yu.

"Hmph, Ye Xingchen, I will definitely trample you under my feet." Ning Fengxue said coldly.

At this moment, Lin Qian was also sitting beside Ye Xingchen, introducing some more powerful warriors to Ye Xingchen.

"Brother Ye, under the martial arts stage in the central square, do you see a huge stone tablet there?" Lin Qian pointed to Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen followed Lin Qian's fingers, and he saw a huge stone tablet standing horizontally under the martial arts platform.

"That's the stele of geniuses. The names of the top [-] geniuses in Huntian City are all on it. Look carefully, there are writings on it." Lin Qian continued.

Ye Xingchen heard the words and looked closely. Sure enough, there were many writings on the stele of genius.

Ye Xingchen looked along the stele of genius, and suddenly found that Lin Hua was ranked first. Ye Xingchen turned his head and glanced at Lin Hua in the distance with his eyes closed.

Being able to be listed on the Genius Stele, even if it is No. 20, its potential is astonishing. Many people are proud of being able to be on the Genius Stele.

"This is last year's ranking. It is estimated that after the end of this year's talent competition, No. 1 will be your name, Brother Ye." Lin Qian said with a smile.

Ye Xingchen continued to look down, No. 2 is Ning Fengxue, both of them are warriors at the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, No. 3 is Gu Changfeng from the Tianxuan Chamber of Commerce, No. 4 is the sword The No. 5 sword magic power of the pavilion is Chu Zhongtian of the City Lord's Mansion......

Ye Xingchen watched carefully. On the stele of genius, most of the top [-] were masters with the strength of Xiaosanguan. Only Lin Hua and Ning Fengxue took the lead and reached the master level.

Many of them Ye Xingchen had heard of, and some of them Ye Xingchen didn't know anything about, but these were not important, because in Ye Xingchen's view, the so-called genius battle couldn't catch his eyes at all.

"If it wasn't for helping the family to deter other forces, I wouldn't have participated in such a time-wasting competition." Ye Xingchen muttered to himself.

And at this moment, the people from the City Lord's Mansion came, the City Lord took the lead, followed by Chu Zhongtian.

When the people from the City Lord's Mansion arrived, everyone stood up to greet them.

The city lord waved lightly, then walked up to the rostrum and sat in the most central position.

"City Lord Chu, you are finally here, hahaha." Lin Tianhu and others greeted City Lord Chu with a smile.

"City Lord Chu." Ning Shaoyun also greeted City Lord Chu, but he gave Lin Tianhu and the others a hard look.

"Haha, everyone is here. Today is my annual genius battle in Huntian City. Everyone put aside personal grievances and work together to make the genius battle come to a perfect end." City Lord Chu said with a smile. Everyone knew that he was talking to Ning Shaoyun and others.

Lin Tianhu and others smiled and said nothing.

"Brother Ye, do you think there will be a dark horse this time?" In the lower area, Lin Qian asked Ye Xingchen in a low voice.

"Probably not." Ye Xingchen said without hesitation.

"There should be." Ye Yu, who was at the side, said delicately, wrapping his hands around Ye Xingchen's arm.

"Brother, there are probably a lot of people participating this time, but you must be the most powerful one. There is no suspense in winning the first place, and Brother Lin Hua should be able to take the second place. Hmph, let that annoying Ning Fengxue take it." Third." Ye Yu twitched her nose and said softly.

"Little sister, brother will definitely not let you down."
