The competition started, and a young man in white immediately stood up from the seat, holding a slender flowing sword, leaping in the air, and landed on the central stage, the realm of the advanced immortal emperor.
"It's Shao Yi, the holy son of the ancient Shao clan."
Some elders in the Immortal Realm immediately recognized the young man. The Shaw family was also an older clan in the Immortal Realm. They had a good foundation, but they had always been hidden in the world and rarely left the world.
"Who do you want to challenge?" the old man asked.
Shao Yi looked around in the crowd, and then stopped in a corner. Today, one of the only three intermediate immortal emperors present, Chu Yan, Chi Ao, and Bu Fangfang, finally looked at Chu Yan.
Feeling Shao Yi's gaze, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then sneered in their hearts, but they didn't find it strange. The so-called competition itself was to fight for places, challenge the weakest people, and get the best places. Anyone should make this choice.
"Just you." Shao Yi Liu Jian pointed at Chu Yan and said calmly.
Chu Yan's eyes also looked a little strange. Is this... being treated as a soft persimmon?
But just when Chu Yan was about to stand up, Nan Yu Nishang's voice came out faintly: "The person I invited will not accept the challenge."
"This..." Everyone at the banquet looked surprised. Didn't they accept the challenge?
Although according to the rules, the princess and prince can decide whether the person they invite accepts the challenge, but as I said before, generally no prince will refuse.
Entering the ancient capital this time is about the awakening of the bloodline. Who doesn't want the people who form a team with him to be strong?
Shao Yi stood on the stage, feeling a little embarrassed, but Nan Yu Nishang had already made it clear that the person she invited would not accept the challenge. If he continued to insist, it would be a bit rude, so he simply nodded, turned around and continued to surround the crowd. stand up.
Chi Ao and Bu Fangfang are also intermediate immortal emperors, but Bu Fangfang and Chu Yan are in the same camp, so naturally it won't work.
As for Chi Ao, Shao Yi did not challenge him due to his status as an outside force in Tianshen Mountain.
"You do it." In the end, Shao Yi chose a strong supporter of the Eighth Prince, a senior immortal emperor named Lin Yu from the Nine Heavens Immortal Dynasty.
After being selected by Shao Yi, Immortal Emperor Lin Yu's expression changed gloomily. There were many high-level Immortal Emperors present, but he was chosen. Why?
Obviously he feels weak.
Immortal Emperor Lin Yu didn't waste any words, stood up and stepped onto the battlefield: "You will regret your choice."
"maybe."
Shao Yi said calmly, he has a very good character, and then he waved his hand, and the slender willow sword unfolded, and it vaguely had the meaning of transforming into a dragon, entwining around it, with clouds swirling and whistling continuously.
"His power of heaven and earth is very strong." Looking at the battle stage, Chu Yan admired, and then looked at Nan Yu Nishang: "Actually... you don't have to be like this, he may not be able to beat me, and even if he really wins, you There may be a stronger warrior."
"It's not necessary. I chose you not only for your strength, but also for trusting you. Let the others come, but I can't trust you. In the ancient capital, although strength is crucial, if you can't trust each other and have to pay attention to the people around you, the gain will outweigh the loss. After Nan Yu Nishang finished speaking, she chuckled and said, "Besides, I think I did nothing wrong."
Chu Yan smiled bitterly, said nothing, and continued to watch on the stage.
At this time, the two sides were already fighting each other. Shao Yi used a sword and took a light route, while Lin Yu was just the opposite. He used a horse-cutting sword, which was at the level of an imperial soldier and was extremely fierce.
"Can magic weapons be used in the competition?" Chu Yan asked in surprise.
"Because the ancient capital does not limit the magic weapons, there are no rules for this competition. The power of the magic weapons itself is also part of the strength." Nan Yu Nishang said softly, Chu Yan nodded, this is the truth, and then there are more If he has some confidence and can use magic weapons, he will have more trump cards.
As a last resort, if the evil sword cooperates with the bloodline to unseal it, his combat power will be even higher.
"Shao Yi's swordsmanship is very tricky, even weird. Although Lin Yu had magic weapons in his hands, he was unable to catch Shao Yi and was suppressed." Chu Yan said, everyone nodded, and then as expected, in Within a hundred moves, Lin Yu was defeated.
"I'm offended." Shao Yi slightly raised his hand to Lin Yu. Lin Yu's face became even more livid. Not only was he challenged, but now he lost again, this is simply a shame.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the Eighth Prince. The only one who can protect him now is the Eighth Prince. Although the battle can be fought for the spot, just like Nan Yu Nishang, if the Eighth Prince himself does not want to be replaced, it is okay.
However, the Eighth Prince looked calmly and said with a faint smile: "Lin Yu, practice well. Even if you can't help me, I will remember the kindness you gave me today, and I will still keep my promise to you."
"No need." Lin Yu snorted coldly. He was too embarrassed to stay due to the humiliation of defeat. He turned around and left the banquet without anyone trying to dissuade him.
"Immortal Emperor Shao Yi, from now on, we will be in the same camp. Please take care of us." The Eighth Prince stood up to greet him.
"Eighth Prince, you're welcome." Shao Yi bowed and said.
"It's really straightforward." Chu Yan smiled bitterly. Since he was the inviter, he naturally had an extraordinary relationship. Now that he has lost a battle, he gave up.
Mo Wen nodded: "It's normal. Now some princes may be looking forward to someone challenging them. After all, if we cut off the weak and leave the strong, it will lose some face, but it is better than finding that they are not strong enough and unable to do what they want after entering the ancient capital." Be strong. Entering the ancient capital may be a matter of life and death. Friendship and other things are actually not valuable in the eyes of these people sometimes."
"Indeed." Chu Yan nodded in approval. At this time, he also understood why the maid said before that generally no prince would refuse to participate in the competition. This is indeed a good opportunity.
As for Nishang, looking at Nan Yu, she is probably the only one.
In the first battle, Shao Yi succeeded in the competition, which was a good start. After that, many strong people came to the stage to challenge, and each had his own victory or defeat. To be precise, he actually lost a little more.
After all, no one who can get the invitation is weak. Even if they are challenged, they will usually win.
But there are still some substitutions. For example, there is a strong man from the half-demon clan, who is a descendant of the Snow Monkey clan and human cultivator. He has natural supernatural power and can break through mountains and rivers. He replaces the help of the Ninth Prince.
There was also an Immortal Emperor who was good at music and used the sound of the piano as a formation to defeat the help of the thirteenth little prince.
The competition basically ends here. In addition, there are some internal competitions. According to the rules Chu Yan learned, even those who have invitation quotas can continue to challenge and replace the other party.
For example, the Thirteenth Little Prince himself is only an intermediate Immortal Emperor. If the helpers are not satisfied with his strength, he can challenge the helpers of some senior princes.
"Boom!" At this moment, another strong man stepped forward. He was one of the inviters, the prince from the Jin Dynasty and the senior immortal emperor, Jin Yu.
Immortal Emperor Jin Yu came to the stage, and the person who invited him was the sixth prince, who was also a high-level Immortal Emperor. Logically speaking, he did not need to challenge, but he also understood that there were many opportunities in the ancient capital this time. Without a top Immortal Emperor, it would be difficult to achieve anything. , so he stood up.
Then if he wants to replace him, he needs to choose one from the four top Immortal Emperors present.
Among them, there are: the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and Nan Yu Nishang.
The eldest prince invited Zi Ba Long, and the remaining two places were also top immortal emperors. If he wanted to win, he had little chance of winning.
The other three people, the fifth prince invited Zi Tong, and the two from Zi Ling Mountain, were also top Immortal Emperors.
As for the third prince, there is some chance. Although the Qi family was invited, and three people from the Qi family came, Qi Luan was a high-level Immortal Emperor, and the remaining two were top-level Immortal Emperors.
Of course, the easiest challenge is actually Nan Yu Nishang's side. There is no top Immortal Emperor, only one high-level Immortal Emperor, and the remaining two are intermediate Immortal Emperors.
"Princess Nishang is really not going to participate? Traveling to the ancient capital is no small matter. Why not give others a chance and give yourself a chance?" Jin Yu said.
"No need." Nan Yu Nishang said coldly.
Chu Yan didn't care about the challenge. Except for the top Immortal Emperor, he actually didn't care much about the challenge. As for the top Immortal Emperor, if he tried all means, he would still be able to fight. However, Nan Yu Nishang was determined, and he naturally I won’t say much, so there’s no need to waste energy here.
"I know." Jin Yu said regretfully. He had the best chance of challenging Nan Yu Nishang. If we don't fight now, only Qi Luan will be left.
Jin Yu turned around and looked at Qi Luan.
At this moment, the third prince said calmly: "The people I invite will not participate in the challenge."
"This..." Everyone blinked, but they were not as surprised as Nan Yu Nishang, because this was reasonable. The Qi family was too special. If challenged, Nan Yu Xianchao might not agree.
Jin Yu frowned, and the third prince did not participate, so only the eldest prince and the fifth prince were left, and the people they invited were all top immortal emperors.
It is impossible for him to win as the top Immortal Emperor, and if he challenges the help of other princes, he may not be stronger than the sixth prince. This is a bit like shooting himself in the foot.
"Third Prince." At this moment, Qi Luan spoke slowly. Everyone looked at him curiously, including the Third Prince.
"Since he wants to challenge, just agree."
"Young Master Qi..."
"It doesn't matter." Qi Luan smiled and shook his head: "Since I am here to help you, I should have enough strength to match you. If I don't dare to fight now, I will only be in trouble when I go to the ancient capital. you."
"this……"
"That's it." Qi Luan stood up and then whispered, whether intentionally or unintentionally: "I can't hide behind others like some people, right? It won't sound good if it spreads."
Immediately, countless eyes looked at Chu Yan. If Qi Luan hadn't been compared, everyone wouldn't have thought much about it, but now with this comparison, the gap was immediately apparent.
At this time, not only on the battlefield, but also some local elders and ministers of the Nanyu Immortal Dynasty looked at Chu Yan with unkind eyes.
Qi Luan obviously could not fight, but he chose to fight for the sake of the third prince. What about Chu Yan? Don’t you think about Princess Nishang at all?
"What a pity. Princess Nishang is the one with the best talent this time, and the one with the greatest chance of awakening her bloodline. She is even better than the eldest prince, but looking at the invitation, she seems to be a bit self-destructive." A minister He shook his head regretfully.
The key is that none of these people's comments were transmitted through sound transmission. Chu Yan could hear them and also burst into a wry smile.
"Don't pay attention to them." Nan Yu Nishang said calmly, Chu Yan shrugged, followed the trend, curled his lips, now the fourth child is very unhappy, in the middle, he is also a powerful figure, well, he is underestimated here.
