The drum beats again.

The second elder of the Zhan Sect, ‘Guhe’, stands on a high platform overlooking the whole place, and loudly conveys the rules of the competition.

In the stands, Li Mubai was also explaining to Lu Feng and others.

The competition rules for this kind of qualification selection are relatively simple. Thirty-two combat groups are directly divided in half, and the leaders fight against each other through drawing lots;

After the sixteen spots have been decided, they will take a short break and start fighting again in pairs.

until the final eight places are decided.

At this moment, the second elder, Gu He, was ordering a disciple to take out the lottery tube that had been prepared on the side of the high platform.

First, the leaders of sixteen combat groups were randomly selected.

Then according to the order of selection, these sixteen disciples will select the opponents they want from the remaining ones to compete.

Although such a random appearance is somewhat unfair and involves a lot of luck, this is a competition for the position of chief disciple, and the order is not that important, because no matter what, you want to securely sit on the position of chief disciple.

, we can only do it step by step and be down-to-earth. The opponents are all the same and need to be defeated anyway.

Even if the battle is missed this time, there will still be a chance to challenge if a disciple is unconvinced later. It would be even more of a pity to lose again at that time.

Every chief disciple of the Zhan Sect has fought all the way up to the point where everyone is convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

Now, I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but the first lot drawn by the disciple was actually the number of Ji Lingchen's combat team.

As Ji Lingchen stepped onto the stage, a roar of applause erupted from the field. Even those disciples who might be chosen by Ji Lingchen as his next opponents were no exception. For them, they could be eliminated by Ji Lingchen.

But it's something to be proud of.

However, after Ji Lingchen came on stage, his eyes fell on Tang Yuan.

This scene immediately made everyone marvel, and discussions arose one after another.

"Who is this person? What is Senior Brother Ji looking at him for? Is he going to choose him as his opponent?"

"This person... seems to be a new disciple who just joined our sect a while ago, right?"

"Are you kidding me? A new disciple, he is worthy of being Senior Brother Ji's opponent?"

As Ji Lingchen spoke on the stage and confirmed that he had chosen Tang Yuan as his opponent, the doubtful disciples immediately burst into an uproar, full of surprise and confusion.

"Why did Senior Brother Ji choose him?"

"Is this person very powerful? So powerful that Senior Brother Ji can't face him at his best?"

Someone in the know reacted at this time and said firmly:

"I understand, it must be because this kid had an argument with Chen Yuanqing in public before, and even Senior Brother Ji did not give any face to him to persuade him. This angered Senior Brother Ji, so Senior Brother Ji chose him and wanted to teach him how to behave!"

"This kid is too stupid. He even dares to look down on Senior Brother Ji. He deserves to be chosen."

"I really want to see how ugly he looks after being beaten down, and see if he still dares to be so arrogant!"

In the stands.

Lu Feng and the others were also shocked by this scene.

I thought it would take a while before I could see Shao Yang compete, but I didn't expect it would be so fast.

"This person named Ji seems to be targeting Xiao Shao!"

Ye Fan was slightly unhappy, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the fishiness here.

Tang Yuan was suspicious: "Could this person be friends with Chen Yuanqing and help him deal with Shao Yang?"

Li Mubai smoothed things over and said, "Junior Brother Ji is not such a person. He has always been fair and impartial. He has a straighter temper than Boss Chu. He cannot be partial to others."

Lu Feng frowned, understanding that Ji Lingchen was probably because of Shaoyang's previous dispute.

Knowing the latter's strength, Lu Feng couldn't help but start to worry about Shaoyang;

If Ji Lingchen is really as Li Mubai said, I'm afraid Shaoyang's strength is no match for him, and he will most likely be beaten to the point of losing his face after taking the stage.

On the field.

Next to Combat Team No. 18.

Chen Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and then laughed happily, shouting at Shao Yang who was ashen-faced: "Boy, weren't you very arrogant before? If you have the ability, try another one. Let's see how you get beaten by Senior Brother Ji!"

He saw Shaoyang staring at him with gloomy eyes.

Chen Yuanqing looked a little timid and pretended to be calm before saying, "Not only will I not apologize for those words I said earlier, but I will also say them at your bedside every day after you are beaten to bedridden!"

Another disciple nearby shouted: "Not only do you have to say it, but you also have to take turns saying it. The less you like to hear it, the more we will say it."

Another person sneered and said: "It's not enough to talk about it in turn. You should write it down and post it everywhere."

"Seeking death!" Shaoyang finally lost restraint in his murderous intent, but instead of attacking Chen Yuanqing and others, he turned around and walked towards the high platform in the front with a gloomy look.

Ji Lingchen looked at Shaoyang who was walking towards him with equally gloomy eyes. He was very angry when he saw the situation in which the latter was arguing with Chen Yuanqing. He was already planning in his mind how he would teach Shaoyang a lesson later.

.

However.

When Shaoyang came to the stage, he didn't even look at him. Instead, he bowed directly towards the second elder and said, "Elder Guhe, I don't want to fight him. Can I choose another opponent?"

Gu He's face darkened, "Do you think our sect's rules are child's play?"

The disciples around him were also shocked by Shao Yang's words, and then they were full of ridicule.

"He must be afraid of Senior Brother Ji, so he is so cowardly that he wants to replace him."

"He shrinks in the face of battle and has no courage. He is not worthy of being a disciple of my Zhan Sect."

"Even if I, a disciple of the Zhan Sect, lose or die, I must lose in an upright manner without taking any step back!"

Shao Yang ignored the chaotic sounds around him. At this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't listen to these irrelevant gossips.

Seeing Gu He ignore his words.

Shao Yang turned to Ji Lingchen and said, "If you want to fight me, I can satisfy you, but before that, I need to fight first."

Ji Lingchen frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised and dissatisfied with Shao Yang's calm appearance. It felt as if he was the weaker challenger. Whether he could successfully compete depends on whether the opponent gives him a chance.

?

Moreover, he didn't even see a trace of timidity or fear on Shaoyang's face, which was not at all like what the disciples below said.

Although Ji Lingchen was aware of Shaoyang's extraordinaryness, he was not shaken by it. He coldly refused: "No matter what, your grudges with Chen Yuanqing must be fought with me first! This is the rule!"

When Shaoyang saw this, his face became even darker. Even Ji Lingchen didn't want to pay attention to it. He faced Chen Yuanqing in the audience and shouted angrily:

"Chen, don't you like to talk nonsense? If you have the guts, get over here!"

"And you!" Tang Yuan pointed at the people beside Chen Yuanqing, "Since we are all in the same boat, then get out of here!"

boom!

As soon as Shao Yang said these words, the entire martial arts arena was filled with excitement and an uproar broke out.

"What does he mean? Do you want to deal with Chen Yuanqing and the others on your own?"

"Is there another one-on-three fight?"

"What kind of place does he think this is? How can he be allowed to do this?"

There was endless discussion in the audience.

But surprisingly, the second elder Gu He fell silent at this time and looked at him with a playful expression, as if he had no intention of stopping him.

Ji Lingchen kept frowning. Seeing the second elder's attitude, he did not dare to accuse Shao Yang. He also remained silent at the moment and let the situation develop.

In the stands.

Ye Fan looked stunned: "When did Shaoyang become so arrogant? What a boy! It's interesting."

There is a vague feeling of having a long face!

Lu Feng was the same way, but seeing Shaoyang's face full of frosty anger, he felt that it might not be that simple.

'Did Chen Yuanqing and others bully Shao Yue?'

Lu Feng secretly thought to himself that based on his understanding of Shaoyang, he would only be so angry if his own sister was humiliated.

At that moment, the eyes looking at Chen Yuanqing were a little colder.

On the field.

Because of Shao Yang's words, Chen Yuanqing and the others instantly became the focus of the audience, and everyone's eyes turned to them.

Due to the anger that Shaoyang was radiating at this moment, Chen Yuanqing was actually a bit timid inside, but in front of everyone, as the leader of the group, he couldn't show anything, so he had no choice but to stand up.

"So what if you come up?" Chen Yuanqing looked at Shao Yang angrily and started to talk about the rules: "You didn't choose me, so what qualifications do you have to challenge me?!"

Shao Yang snorted coldly, suddenly appeared with a spear in his hand, slammed it on the ground, and shouted sternly: "This is not a challenge to you, but to the whole team!"

Shao Yang's eyes were filled with anger, and he shouted word by word: "Today, I, Shao Yang, declare war on your group of eighteen people!"

"No matter life or death! Heaven and earth serve as a guide!"

"If you still have a trace of the blood of a man, get out of here!"
