Chapter 58: Elite Competition

  "Older brother, you're awake!" The nine-tailed celestial cat who had been waiting beside him saw that Long Jing Tian was waking up and flew down to his face.

  Long Jing Tian let out a mouthful of turbid air, nodded slightly, and then stood up.

  "Older brother, how is it?" asked the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Cat.

  Long Jing Tian smiled and nodded.

  This time in seclusion, he fully refined the spiritual power of the Purple Blood Jade Ginseng within his body and finally reached the peak of the Golden Elixir's later stage!

  "Let's go, we're going to the Purple Mist Palace!" Long Jing Tian said, and with a flash of his body, he brought the nine-tailed heavenly cat out of the small courtyard and headed towards the Purple Mist Peak.

  The competition between the elite disciples will take place in the square in front of the grand hall of the Purple Cloud Palace.

  After a while, Long Jing Tian arrived at the square in front of the grand hall of Zi Xiao Palace.

  When Long Jing Tian arrived, the square in front of the Purple Cloud Palace was already packed with people.

  However, the vast majority of them came to watch the battle.

  The assessment of inner disciples has more than 20,000 outer disciples participating, while this elite disciple competition only has over a hundred people signing up.

  To sign up for the elite disciple competition, the first condition is to complete a first-class task, so many inner disciples who want to sign up cannot sign up.

  Because first-class tasks are difficult to complete.

  "Longjing Tian has arrived!"

  The dragon engine has arrived, and the crowd is in an uproar.

  Long Jing Tian's expression was indifferent, but suddenly he had a feeling and looked towards one direction in the crowd, and then saw Gu Yan!

  Long Jing Tian and Gu Yan's eyes collided for a moment, a formless air current surged and clashed.

  The disciples around him retreated in shock.

  Compared with half a year ago, Gu Yan's overall demeanor was much more subdued, and when he looked at Long Jing Tian, his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

  The two people's eyes met for a moment before they looked away.

  Long Jing Tian arrived not long ago, and the crowd was in an uproar again.

  "Look, it's Master Honghe, Master Honghe has arrived!"

  "It's said that two years ago, Honghe Shixiong had already reached the peak of Wu Wang's seventh layer! He only completed a first-class mission this year, so he's participating in the Elite Disciple Competition for the first time this year!"

  "Not bad, otherwise, two years ago, Honghe Shixiong would have become an elite disciple. With Honghe Shixiong's strength, even an ordinary elite disciple wouldn't be his match!"

  The disciples all around discussed it.

  Long Jing Tian looked over and saw a young man wearing a blue robe slowly flying over under the crowd's encirclement.

  This young man in blue robes has an air of proud loneliness that sets him above the crowd.

  The first place on the Heavenly Earth List in the Inner Temple is Honghe!

  Also the most promising candidate for this elite disciple competition and the most hopeful to win first place!

  Although Gu Yan and Long Jing Tian were also eye-catching, they were far from comparable to Hong He in terms of prestige.

  For three years, Honghe has been ranked first on the Heavenly Earth Board in the inner courtyard, and no disciple has ever shaken his position, which shows his actual strength!

  Then, Longyintian saw the wind dragon following behind Honghe's back.

  Feng Long stared at Long Jing Tian with a face full of hatred, and said to Hong He Dao: "Hong He Shixiong, that is Long Jing Tian!" After finishing speaking, he pointed at Long Jing Tian.

  "Oh." Hong and Shun followed in his direction, looked over, and flew towards Long Jing Tian.

  Jian Hong and others suddenly flew towards Long Qingtian, the disciples around them were stunned, they all looked at Long Qingtian, Long Qingtian once again became the focus of the disciples' attention.

  "You are Long Jing Tian." Hong He came before Long Jing Tian and asked directly.

  Long Jing Tian's face was indifferent: "Not bad."

  "Feng Long is my friend, a very good friend."

  "What then?" Long Jing Tian said calmly.

  Honghe was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, his laughter very warm: "I hope you don't run into me in the arena, otherwise, your outcome will be miserable! Very miserable!"

  Long Jing Tian's expression remained calm: "Is that so?"

  Honghe narrowed his eyes, staring at Long Jingtian, but didn't say another word. After a few breaths, he turned and left. Fenglong, however, looked at Long Jingtian with a cold smile and said: "Long Jingtian, don't think that just because you defeated me, you're very strong. You'll never know how powerful Honghe Shixiong really is, how terrifying!"

  "When the time comes, you will be kneeling on the stage begging me to spare your life and asking Master Hong to not kill you!"

  Feng Long finished speaking and followed behind Hong in leaving.

  Long Jing Tian looked at the two figures and sneered in his heart.

  "Long Qingtian defeated Feng Long, but unexpectedly, Hong and Shixiong actually came out for Feng Long. This time, Long Qingtian is in trouble!"

  "It's not that Wind Dragon and Honghe Shixiong don't get along, I heard that during a training session, Wind Dragon even helped Honghe Shixiong avoid a calamity!"

  "Long Jingtian's strength is pretty good, but he can't be a match for Honghe Shixiong. Long Jingtian should seek his own fortune and avoid running into Honghe Shixiong."

  The disciples around saw Honghe and Long Qingtian confronting each other, and suddenly it became lively.

  The disciples around looked at Long Jingtian with some pity in their eyes.

  Long Jing Tian's face was calm.

  However, in the crowd, Long Jing Tian saw a black-shirted young man named Fan Xiao who had also taken the assessment to enter the Wu Shen Hall at the same time as him. It seemed that Fan Xiao had also signed up for this Elite Disciple Competition?

  Long Jing Tian remembered that when the inner courtyard disciples were assessed, Fan Xiao entered the inner courtyard with a score of over 90, which was far behind Long Jing Tian's first place.

  However, Long Jing Tian could see that Fan Xian had been hiding his true strength. Otherwise, with his abilities, he would have definitely had a chance to enter the top ten during the inner disciple assessment, and might have even squeezed into the top three!

  Apart from Fan Xian, there was another person, Fu Chen, who possessed three-eyed evil pupils.

  At that time, the inner court examination, Fu Chen finally ranked fourth.

  It seems like I've also signed up for the Elite Disciple Competition this time.

  However, Lou Qiang, who ranked second in the inner temple assessment, was nowhere to be seen by Long Jing Tian.

  As time passed, more and more disciples came to watch the battle, surrounding the square on all sides until it was packed to bursting.

  At this time, two figures flew out from the Purple Cloud Palace. Long Jing Tian recognized them as the two strong martial artists of the Wu Sect who had presided over the inner disciple assessment last time.

  The two powerful warriors of Wu Zong arrived, and their auras spread out, instantly quieting the entire noisy square.

  "All disciples, retreat!" one of the strong men from the Wu Zong sect said.

  After the crowd of disciples retreated, these two powerful warriors of the Wu Zong sect grasped their hands in a secret hand seal, opening up the restrictions on the square. Suddenly, the entire square shook violently.

  Under the gaze of all the disciples, six arenas rose from the ground in the center of the square.

  Each arena has hundreds of square meters.

  "Please have the disciples participating in this elite disciple competition come forward." A strong martial artist from the Wu Sect said after doing all that.

  Long Jing Tian and Gu Yan, Hong He and others stepped forward.

  Then, the strong man of Wu Zong said: "This competition will be in a knockout format. The last ten winners can become elite disciples and enter the Holy Realm for cultivation."

  Then, this strong man of Wu Zong said some rules for this competition and announced the start of the competition.

  Before the trial, Long Jingtian and others drew a trial card. If the numbers on the cards were the same, then they would be opponents for this round.

  As there are only six arenas, each match can only have six groups competing at the same time, and others have to wait until these six groups finish their matches before they can go on stage.

  The number on the Dragon Engine's trial plate is eighty-six, so it should be placed at the back.
