The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 41 Start

In this Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, apart from the Black Dragon Empire's Crown Prince who had already broken through to the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm, Sikong Sheng, and Yan Chihuo, he really didn't take anyone else seriously.

The others who passed the three gates of Longmen also gave their assurances to the sect leader one by one.

"That's the best." But he just replied calmly, and then looked at Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, you are the only one among the contestants of this Hidden Dragon Ranking who has not yet entered the late stage of Condensing the True Realm. You are also the only one among the many disciples who have passed the three levels of Longmen who is still practicing the middle-level earth-level exercises. But fortunately, you have practiced the third-level heavy primordial power. After practicing the third-level heavy primordial power to the ninth level, it will not be much inferior to the ninth-level high-level earth-level exercises. When practicing to the eleventh level, it can be comparable to the eleventh-level high-level earth-level exercises, and it also has the effect of increasing the probability of breaking through the Baoyuan realm, so don't feel too much pressure in your heart."

"Does the highest level of the Three Transformations of Zhongyuan Gong have the effect of increasing the chances of breaking through the Baoyuan Realm?" Gu Yuan was a little surprised.

The great elder smiled and said, "Of course, but the difficulty of practicing this technique is no less than that of ordinary high-level earth-level techniques. The comprehension of those sect disciples who have practiced it is far inferior to yours. Often, after entering the Bao Yuan realm, they have not yet practiced to the highest realm. Therefore, it is not recorded in the copy of the secret book."

Mo Tianxing added: "In addition, our sect hereby promises that regardless of whether you get a place in this Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, our sect will teach you the top-level earth-level martial arts, the Tongtian Demonic Art."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Gu Yuan looked quite excited, but his reaction was very calm.

Strictly speaking, he somewhat looked down upon the Tongtian Magic Art.

Because he is a swordsman, the martial arts he practices are naturally the top-level earth-level sword techniques.

Although Tongtian Demon Art is also a top-level earth-level martial arts technique, it does not have a matching top-level earth-level sword technique.

It can only be regarded as a helpless choice.

Moreover, even if he had a top-level earth-level sword technique, he would not switch to it immediately.

Since we know that practicing the Three-Turn Chongyuan Gong to the highest level can increase the chances of a warrior entering the Baoyuan realm.

Then naturally I won’t miss such an opportunity.

Maybe this could greatly shorten the time it takes to enter the Baoyuan realm.

But just because Gu Yuan looks down on the Tongtian Magic Art, it doesn’t mean that others don’t think so either.

When they heard that the sect leader planned to teach the Ancient Source All-Heavenly Magic Art after the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition was over, almost everyone, including the inner sect elders, showed envy on their faces.

You know, even among them, there are not many people who practice the top-level earth-level techniques. The vast majority of people still practice high-level earth-level techniques.

Only Mo Yan became secretly alert, because according to Gu Yuan's talent, after practicing the Tongtian Magic Art, it is very likely that he will threaten his position.

Therefore, he must obtain as much luck as possible in this Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, so that he can speed up his cultivation and enter a higher realm as soon as possible.

Then, in the next Hidden Dragon List, he would maintain his status as the eldest disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect.

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's go."

Similar reminders were also happening in other sects' residences. Although there were only seventy-two spots in each Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, all those who got the spots were blessed with good fortune without exception, and their cultivation speed was accelerated.

Furthermore, the higher a warrior's ranking, the faster his training speed.

In addition, it can also bring prosperity to the sect and increase the cultivation speed of the disciples within the sect accordingly.

Only in this way can many sects and forces flock to the Hidden Dragon List competition.

The central area of ​​the ancient city is a vast open space, surrounded by densely packed spectator stands that stretch far into the distance.

When Gu Yuan and his group arrived, the place was almost full.

Fortunately, the Feitian Demon Sect is a sixth-grade sect, and no other sect dares to block their way, let alone occupy their position.

After Mo Tianxing led many elders and those disciples who failed to pass the three levels of the Dragon Gate to sit down, Gu Yuan, Mo Yan, Murong Qingcheng and other participating disciples stood below the first row of audience seats. People from other sixth-grade sects had basically arrived as well.

There are only two people in the Black Dragon Empire’s royal family. One is the first on the last Hidden Dragon List, the Black Dragon Empire’s eldest prince Long Xiaotian. The other is a newcomer like Gu Yuan and the others, Long Xiaotian’s younger brother, the Black Dragon Empire’s second prince Long Xiaoyun.

With his cultivation level at the early stage of Bao Yuan Realm, he is considered a strong competitor in this Qianlong Ranking Competition.

Gu Yuan vaguely remembered that the other party only appeared once in the original novel.

And he also plays the role of Murong Qingcheng's bootlicker.

"Big Brother, is this the arena for the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition? How come there is only a flat ground? It's too simple."

A core disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect asked.

Mo Yan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, there is a mystery in it."

The crowd did not have to wait too long. After a moment, the vast flat ground broke into pieces and was collected. Then, twelve underground arenas rose up and piled on top of each other. At the diagonals of the arenas, there stood a hollow stone pillar similar to the Wall-Breaking Gate of the Three Gates of Longmen. They emitted blue light and finally formed four light curtains, which enveloped the entire platform and protected the arenas.

Gu Yuan saw all of this and thought to himself, "This should be the light curtain that seals the platform. Unfortunately, there is no dragon roar in the abyss between the platforms. It should be because the contestants this year are generally weak. We need to wait until the next session, when the Qianlong Ranking's earth energy dragon veins will reach their peak in a thousand years."

In a short while, the auditorium was full of people, and then the strong men from various major sects sat in the first row. The thirteen Star Realm referees nominated by the seven sixth-grade sect leaders separated into two groups, with the chief referee sitting directly opposite and the others standing at equal distances, observing the arena below so they could make judgments at any time.

As usual, the chief referee reviewed the rules of the game.

The rules are also very simple. Except for low-grade attack weapons, no other treasures, elixirs or other external objects are allowed.

In addition, more than 700 contestants were divided into 12 groups according to the numbers of the jade medals they won at the three levels of Longmen, and they participated in ten rounds of elimination matches.

Only the top twelve teams in each group will advance.

Then the second round of eliminations will begin.

The second stage of the knockout rounds will also consist of ten rounds.

The contestants who have successfully advanced will be combined into one group at random and continue to the second stage of the elimination round.

Twelve people from each group also advance.

After successfully advancing, you will become a listed player in this year's Hidden Dragon List competition.

The third stage of ranking competition begins.

Gu Yuan was not unfamiliar with this. He took out his jade token and came to the vicinity of the five groups of arenas.

But as luck would have it, Wu Liangyu was assigned to the same group as him.

This is indeed a bit surprising.

"He's also in this group."

Wu Liangyu also noticed Gu Yuan, and felt both surprised and nervous.

The surprise is that Gu Yuan can be defeated right from the start.

What made him nervous was that after Gu Yuan mastered the Ghost Shadow Technique, it was able to restrain his Black Crow Technique to some extent. He was not very confident, and the two conflicting feelings made him clench his hands tightly.

ps: Second update, the Hidden Dragon List will not be too long.
