The solemn square was packed with tens of thousands of people, all of them young Taoist students, but in the center, this place still seemed very empty.
On the high platform in the center, there are hundreds of important people standing, the leader of whom is wearing a golden suit and precious jewelry.
At the bottom of the high platform, there were 283 people standing neatly, and Chen Qingtian was also among these people.
Today is the day when the ranking of Cixin Zongdao Academy’s Heavenly Ranking begins. This is more like a grand event.
Chen Qingtian looked at the characters around him and was about to compete with them later.
After some sensing, everyone here exudes a different aura.
These people are all arrogant, as if others are inferior to themselves.
Chen Qingtian was not so confident. He looked around and found that the aura of one of them was particularly different.
He stood there, feeling like a big mountain. With the naked eye, it looked like a piece of white paper, as if nothing existed.
Suddenly, the man felt something and looked sideways at Chen Qingtian.
At this glance, Chen Qingtian's hair stood on end. He was locked by an invisible spiritual power, and his eyes were like those of ancient giant beasts.
In an instant, Chen Qingtian's body tensed up and he took a defensive posture, but the man smiled and all the pressure immediately disappeared.
"It's really scary!" Chen Qingtian already knew in his heart that that person was the Eternal God Xuan Shenxian, who was more terrifying than imagined. He was far from his opponent at the moment.
At this time, a voice sounded.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Chen Qingtian raised his head and saw that the person speaking from the high platform was the deputy dean Xin Hunchou.
At this time, a polite smile appeared on his face and he said loudly: "Today we are fortunate to invite the leader of our Compassionate Sect to give an important sermon to everyone."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice and shouted, everyone expressed their welcome.
Chen Qingtian looked carefully and saw that the man headed by Gaotai slowly walked out. He was the master of Cixin Sect.
From here, this man appears to be in his forties. As the leader of a sect, he does not look very domineering.
But he has a strong affinity and an honest look in his eyes, which makes people think he is very reliable.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said very humbly: "Tao students, I am honored that you can choose Cixin Sect Tao Academy. Thank you for your trust."
"Today is an important day. So many people have gathered together to witness the growth of outstanding Tao students. I hope that you will advance step by step and go to the Lotus World together in the future."
After a pause, he shouted: "Now I announce that the ranking competition on the Heavenly Ranking has begun!"
oh……..
Countless cheers rang out, and these Taoist students were all excited.
Next, elite Tao students like Chen Qingtian began to draw lots.
Looking at the ninety-eight symbol in his hand, Chen Qingtian knew that his opponent also had this number.
Two hundred and eighty-three people, excluding one bye, are divided into two parts, one hundred and forty-one numbers.
Each found an opponent, and under the witness of one hundred and forty-one Taoist masters, everyone began to compete.
Chen Qingtian's opponent in this round is a young man much older than him, who looks very arrogant.
As soon as he came up, he said: "Boy, I haven't seen you before. Are you a new mana realm student?"
"I advise you to abstain yourself, otherwise it will not be good if you are seriously injured by me!"
Chen Qingtian smiled. These elite Taoist students were indeed arrogant.
He asked softly: "Are you sure you can beat me?"
The student suddenly became displeased and said, "It seems like you want to suffer!"
After saying that, he took out the magic weapon and looked like he was about to take action.
Chen Qingtian also took out the Blue Sky Sword. He felt that this opponent should have some strength.
"Sword sweeps mountains and rivers!" With a loud roar, the man's sword technique moved the surrounding air, forming a huge storm.
This sword seems to be a test, but it is actually very powerful. If Chen Qingzhen is in the magic realm, he may not be able to dodge it.
"Not bad! I met a strong person in the psychic realm as soon as I came here!" Chen Qingtian was no longer calm and composed. The person he met was a good strong person.
"I'll give you a sword too!"
Absolute method!
This sword encompasses everything. Its huge momentum destroys all the opponent's magic power and directly attacks the opponent's true form.
"Boy! You..." Facing Chen Qingtian's merciless counterattack, this man felt that his opponent was not simple.
He felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his whole body was shaking with magic power, and he launched even more powerful sword skills, causing a violent collision between the two sides.
boom!
Stabilizing his body, Liu Tao was frightened. This young boy's realm was clearly superior to his.
He couldn't help but become suspicious and asked loudly: "Boy, I am Liu Tao, a Taoist student from the last five years. I ranked 25th on the Tianban Ranking last year. Who are you? Sign up first!"
Chen Qingtian saw that he valued him now and took the initiative to introduce himself as a family member. He suddenly said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, it turns out he is an old Taoist brother who is five years ahead of me!"
"I am Chen Qingtian, a Taoist student of this class. Please show mercy to my Taoist brother!"
"Chen Qingtian! So you are Chen Qingtian!" Liu Tao felt bad.
In fact, he also guessed how such a young psychic realm powerhouse could appear suddenly.
Combined with the rumors during this period, the identity of this person is almost revealed.
Liu Tao said bitterly at this time: "It seems that the rumors are true. You are indeed amazing. After being exposed to it just now, you are definitely not someone who has just broken through the psychic realm."
Chen Qingtian looked at Liu Tao. He was only in the early to middle stage of the psychic realm. There was a big gap between him and himself in all aspects.
Chen Qingtian said nothing more and said proudly: "No more nonsense, you can be a psychic! Use all your strength, otherwise you will lose quickly!"
Liu Tao's face changed, fighting spirit emerged, and he said unconvinced: "Okay! I want to verify whether you are as good as the rumors say!"
kill!
After Liu Tao finished speaking, he recited a spell and began to channel spirits. Soon, his body changed significantly.
bring it on!
At this time, Chen Qingtian also felt that his opponent had new power.
However, he is not in a hurry, nor is he psychic. With his current strength, even if the other party is psychic, he will not be his opponent.
"The sword touches the world!" Liu Tao's whole body glowed, and he put all his strength into this sword.
The mana fluctuations shake the four wards, and the whole person is like a mad cow or a crazy horse!
Chen Qingtian's eyes also showed a blazing light, the Nine Heavens Thunder Dharma was moving, and the Blue Sky Sword flew into the air.
The sword moves and the thunder roars!
The two killer moves collided with each other, and the Taoist masters watching the battle were moved.
There were more than a hundred battles, and their battles were not the most intense, but they were still watched by many.
After many Tao students around them learned about their identities, they began to support each other, and some cheered for Liu Tao.
Many people also cheered for Chen Qingtian, especially some freshmen this year. For some reason, they began to be proud of him, saying that he was the representative of this Taoist student class and everyone was proud of him!
On the high platform, the head of the Cixin Sect had long noticed Chen Qingtian's performance. He said to the deputy dean on the side: "Vice dean Xin, under your management, many powerful students have emerged in the Taoist Academy this year. Newcomer!"
Hearing this, Hard Tuo said respectfully: "Sect Master, cultivate strong men for the sect. This is what we should do, and it is also the value of the Tao Academy's existence!"
The leader of Cixin Sect nodded with satisfaction, first looked at the Xuan Shenxian who had already finished the battle, and then sighed: "The strength of the Shenxian has improved again, but unfortunately, the opponent gave up before he made a move!"
An elder from the sect who was following him immediately said: "Sect Master, Xuan Shenxian is a genius and your disciple. After your careful teaching, he will become a pillar of the sect sooner or later!"
Hard-working Tuo also praised: "The sect master has recruited such talented people for the sect. I admire him. Xuan Shenxian is not only the face of our Taoist academy, but also the hope of the sect."
Many people also followed up and praised: "Sect Master, under your leadership, our Compassionate Heart Sect will definitely be more brilliant. You have a keen eye and talent, and we admire you!"
"Yes! Yes! The disciples of the sect leader are great, and the sect leader himself is even more powerful. Our Cixin Sect will definitely become the leader of all sects in the future..."
The leader of Cixin Sect did not lose himself in the praise. He waved his hand to indicate that everyone did not need to say anything.
Then he pretended to be curious and pointed downwards and asked: "The young man fighting below is this year's freshman Chen Qingtian, right?"
Following his finger, Hard Camel took a step forward and said, "Sect Master, that is Chen Qingtian. Have you heard about it, Sect Master?"
"Haha..." The leader of Cixin Sect smiled and sighed: "I heard that today I met a real person. If you ask me, he is a great talent and a real monster. The old leader praised him a few days ago. You guys want to Pay attention!"
Hard-working Tuo's face was a little unnatural, and he said tangledly: "Sect Master, this guy has some adventures, but he is unruly and unwilling to join the sect, and his qualifications are not very good. Now he has some strength, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue. ah!"
Hearing these words, Yang Mingguo, who had been silent next to him, suddenly laughed and said: "Thank you for your hard work, when you say this in front of the sect master, it seems that you have a lot of selfishness mixed in, and you don't take Chen Qingtian seriously at all."
The leader of Cixin Sect glanced at Yang Mingguo and said in a gentle tone: "Mingguo is right. I saw Chen Qingtian from a distance and knew it was not simple. If our Cixin Sect wants to revitalize, we must recruit more evil characters." .”
"Look, he is about to win. I remember the young man fighting him is named Liu Tao! The two of them are not at the same level of strength!"
While they were discussing, Chen Qingtian was almost finished fighting.
This Liu Tao was no match for him. He was beaten in such a sorry state that he had no power to fight back.
"I lost!" Seeing that Chen Qingtian did not attack him harshly, Liu Tao finally admitted defeat.
The boy in front of him was much better than him, no matter how jealous he was, he had to admit it.
He originally thought that after channeling, his strength had been improved, and with his powerful swordsmanship, he could fight Chen Qingtian to the end.
Unexpectedly, the opponent was not psychic, so he couldn't hold on any longer. Chen Qingtian's martial arts and sword skills completely crushed him.
He had no choice but to admit defeat. This way, the injury would not be serious, and he could still participate in the "resurrection match" later. He didn't want to drop out of the rankings in the first round. That would be too embarrassing!
Chen Qingtian saw that the other party was convinced and did not continue to attack. This Liu Tao was pretty good, but it was a pity that he met him.
After he channeled the spirit, he was close to the peak of the spirit realm, but his overall strength was still not as good as his own, so it was reasonable to lose so quickly.
The first round of competition ended quickly and one after another, and those who won were naturally happy.
But those who lost were polarized. Some were dejected, some were dissatisfied, and some were angry. Many were unwilling to withdraw from the rankings and chose to draw lots again for a resurrection match.
Chen Qingtian didn't pay much attention to these problems. After he won, he wanted to retreat silently, because after one round, the next round would not start until the next day.
Unfortunately, it was no longer easy for him to retreat alone at this time. Many people gathered around him and wanted to talk to him.
"Everyone, please give way, thank you!" Chen Qingtian greeted everyone politely. He was not interested in being interviewed, nor did he want to deal with these people.
But in this situation, it was obviously difficult for him to get out. Just when he wanted to use his magic power to squeeze out, a voice sounded.
"Chen Qingtian, Vice President Xin wants you to come over. Come with me!"
