On the grandstand in the center of the square, several Demon Emperors set their sights on Arena No. 1.
Some people were already a little surprised to see Lu Li go in and not come out for so long.
You know, the previous challengers were eliminated in just sixty breaths at most.
But now, less than half an hour has passed.
"That guy has persisted for so long and hasn't come out yet. Isn't there really hope?" Wu Xingfeng, the great elder of Wuyang Palace, raised his eyelids slightly.
"Hope? If he can win, I will eat..." Scarlet Sun Palace Xue Si sneered, preparing to make bold statements.
But before he finished speaking, an idea flashed from the teleportation port of Arena No. 1, and a figure flew out.
The person who came out was Xue Cang. There was no visible injury on his surface at this moment, but his face looked extremely pale.
And right after Xue Cang, another burst of spiritual light flashed, and Lu Li also flew out.
When everyone saw this, they all looked at the two men with surprised and suspicious expressions.
what happened?
That kid looks more relaxed than Xue Cang?
The referee on the ring had a complicated expression. Others didn't know what was going on, but he could see clearly: This kid is too fierce.
Although Lu Li took advantage of Xue Cang's carelessness and suddenly used all his strength, which was a bit of a trick, there was no doubt that this was also a sign of his rich combat experience.
Xue Cang was defeated unjustly.
And if Xuecang hadn't possessed the secret technique of inheritance, he probably wouldn't have been able to come out alive at this moment.
"The winner stays and the loser retreats. In this round of competition, the challenger wins." The referee stared at the two men, then calmed down and shouted indifferently.
What!
Hearing this, Xue Si and the demon emperors could not believe their ears.
"He, he actually won!" Chiri Dian Xue Si's eyes widened.
Although Xue Cang came from the Blood Demon Palace and had nothing to do with their Scarlet Sun Palace, he still belonged to the same lineage of Blood Demons. This defeat was really hard for him to accept.
The rest of the people either frowned in thought or looked equally surprised.
Is this position of the First Protector, which has remained unchanged for several terms, about to change hands?
Everyone stared at Lu Li, sizing him up seriously.
"Fellow Daoist Yunqing, you elder really surprised me." Shi Xiangtian said with emotion on his face.
"Ahem, it's really not easy. Even I didn't expect that he could defeat Xue Cang."
Satsuma Yunqing's face was full of smiles. Lu Li really put on a good face this time for Chaos Temple.
Even if he couldn't hold on to the first place in the end, just defeating Xue Cang was enough to impress people.
"Fellow Xue Si, I just heard that what do you want to eat..." On the other side, Wu Xingfeng suddenly looked at Xue Si with a strange look on his face.
"What are you eating! Have a feast to celebrate." Old Xue Si's face darkened and he turned his head away.
Wu Xingfeng chuckled, but did not continue to find fault with Xue Si.
On Arena No. 1, Xue Cang had already stepped down, and Lu Li was sitting cross-legged on it with his eyes closed to relax.
The referee stood on the other side, as motionless as a statue.
But not long after, another idle person was thrown over.
Lu Li was forced to enter the battlefield to challenge, and after some struggle, Lu Li won again.
After a while, the second challenger arrived, and Lu Li won again.
However, Lu Li has learned to be smart. He no longer pursues a quick victory, but spends as much time as possible on the battlefield. This way, his arena will not be empty and others will not have the opportunity to challenge him.
The funniest thing is that a late-stage challenger of the Demon Lord was no match for Lu Li. He was beaten to the point of paralysis by Lu Li as soon as they fought. But just when the opponent was about to admit defeat, Lu Li snatched the opponent's challenge order and forcibly defeated him. He was trapped on the battlefield for several hours before returning the challenge order to the opponent, asking him to admit defeat.
Ye Wuwu naturally discovered this problem, so he modified the rules specifically to address this point.
That is, if the challenger cannot defeat the challenger within an hour, he will be automatically judged to lose and be sent out of the battlefield.
In case someone deliberately delays time on the battlefield.
As a result, not only Lu Li, but the other champions were also depressed.
Because there are many champions like Lu Li.
What is worth mentioning is that the performances of Xiao Hanlin, Bai Yu and others were also outstanding.
Xiao Hanlin has changed from the sixth arena to the third arena, and he still seems to be able to do it with ease.
Bai Yu, Chu Moping, and Zhou Yushan were in the tenth, twelfth, and fifteenth stages respectively.
Mu Xiao, on the other hand, was still in Arena No. 30 and had no intention of moving forward.
Such a sudden rise of casual cultivators has also deeply attracted the attention of powerful men from all major sects.
However, even though they specifically targeted them, there was nothing they could do against these people.
And since the challenge time limit was added, the speed of the competition was much faster than before.
There are more than three hundred challengers, and ten opportunities for each person seems like a lot.
However, with one hundred and eight arenas being held at the same time, the number of times each arena is challenged is actually not that many.
In just three days, this competition came to an end amidst the sighs of countless people.
Generally speaking, in this Dharma Protector Challenge, most of the people on the list from the previous one remain.
Most of the newcomers who came to participate in the challenge were eliminated.
However, what no one expected was that the changes in the top 30 would be so huge.
Several unknown and nameless casual cultivators actually pushed some of the famous sect masters to the back.
This not only made the elders of the major sects look bad, but also the many challengers were in disbelief.
And when everyone learned that Lu Li had successfully replaced Xue Cang and became the number one protector of the demon world, the challengers widened their eyes and shouted, "Damn it!"
Next, comes the commendation and reward section.
One hundred and eight qualified candidates were all summoned to an open hall on the north side of the square.
After Ye Wuwu said some scene words and gave everyone some verbal encouragement, he began to distribute point rewards.
As the first protector, Lu Li naturally made a lot of money and had three thousand points to himself.
Xue Cang was not far behind. After a brief recovery, he went on the field again, unseating the original second place player and taking the second place himself, earning two thousand points.
The third one is another rising figure, Xiao Hanlin, who got one thousand points.
Afterwards, some were happy and some were sad. Everyone came forward one by one to receive their rewards and then stood back to their original positions.
The rewards are distributed.
Ye Wuwen coughed slightly, interrupting the noise in the hall.
"Everyone! From now on, you are the protectors of the Ancestral Demon Palace. As a protector, naturally you cannot just eat and drink. If necessary, you must stand up to safeguard the majesty of the Ancestral Demon Palace and jointly maintain the order of the demon world!"
"In addition, if you were casual cultivators before, the Ancestral Demon Palace will also provide you with faith based on your contribution and help you break through the tribulation..."
Upon hearing this, some casual cultivators suddenly beamed with joy and bowed to express their thanks.
As a casual cultivator, if you don't have faith, the Demon Lord will basically reach its peak.
Because the beliefs of this world are controlled by various sects, they cannot absorb them at all.
But now that he has become the protector of the Ancestral Demon Palace, this problem has been solved.
Although everyone understands that the Ancestral Demon Palace cannot provide them with faith in vain, but at least there is hope, right?
"Excuse me, Your Majesty! Where can I exchange this point card for resources?" At this time, a casual cultivator who was lucky enough to be on the list suddenly asked.
