The last person of those 20 was naturally Lin Ming
Co was extremely ordinary He came fro aroused an enormous interest from everyone
In particular, the upper echelons of the Seven Profound Valleys They had already been briefed on all of Lin Ming’s information For a 16 year old to have such a perfor was rare even in the last 200 years!
At this time, the sun hadn’t risen Daas just around the corner, and yet there were already crowds of people gathered on the square of the Seven Profound Valleys’ Grand Hall
The various elders of the sroup leaders of the martial cultivation families, the various Martial House Masters and nobles of the 36 countries, and other great characters were gathered in the square Any of these characters would be grand figures if placed within a small country; their existence itself would earn the admiration of millions But here, these people weren’t even allowed to sit in the front row, o into the Grand Hall
“This year’s Total Faction Martial Meeting should have the most skilled disciples in nearly the last three centuries!” In the audience, Huoluo Nation’s Martial House Master Luo was sipping soe country, he had been given preferential treatment He had a table by his side, some tea to drink, and also some dried fruits to nibble on
“Hehe, definitely Didn’t Divine Phoenix Island send out aface to our Seven Profound Valleys Usually Peacock Mountain brags so rade sect attend their own Martial Meeting!”
“Divine Phoenix Island?” Martial House Master Luo stirred his tea as he slowly said, “I heard a rumor from someone that Divine Phoenix Island came here for a specific reason, not to especially watch our Total Faction Martial Meeting…”
“Hm, I don’t know Hey, what rank do you think your Huoluo Nation’s wang Mu will reach?”
“Uh…” The sudden question caused Martial House Master Luo to nearly choke on his tea wang Mu had ultimately failed to even enter the second tier, and what distressed him the most was that Huoluo Nation also had to compensate with their Seraphic Pond…
The sun finally began to rise over the horizon The referee of the final tournae This person had a cultivation at the middle Xiantian realm, and was also one of the Inner Court elders of the Seven Profound Valleys
“I won’t repeat the rules of the coe qualifiers There are altogether 30 people in the first tier finals Everyone will have at least 29 matches Those with the least points at the end will face a challenge from those in the second tier with the most points This means that you may or may not still be in the top 30 ranks
“Now, let the finals begin!”
The elder referee’s voice was very loud and clear; the entire mountain valley resounded with his voice
“Lin Ming, do your best and try hard to enter the top 10 If you’re up against an opponent you cannot defeat, don’t try to be brave and get yourself hurt” Qin Ziya repeatedly advised Lin Ming as they headed to the contestant waiting area Although it was against the rules to kill or disable your opponent, if the strength of the two contestants were siht the battle with everything they had In such a situation it would be very difficult to control one’s strength, and it wasn’t uncommon to be severely injured
“I understand”
Lin Mingarea and sat patiently in a chair The first an A core disciple and a non-seeded player walked on stage Although this was a fierce competition between two individuals, the audience seemed to be a bit disappointed, they most wanted to watch a match between the direct disciples
As the battle on the stage was intensely unfolding, Lin Ming saw an extre over to hi a fan, and had a hint of a disdainful sneer on his face
Lin Ming furrowed his eyebrows, he didn’t recognize this person
“Are you Lin Ming?”
“Yes!”
“I a, a core disciple of the Seven Profound Valleys’ Acacia Faction”
“I don’t think I know you?”
“…It doesn’t h that I know you Because of you, my little brother will miss his chance to participate in this i”
As this handso suddenly remembered back to his tixuan when a fight had broken out In the end, he had used his Samsara martial intent to injure an Acacia Faction disciple whose last naer brother
However, at that tione very easy on hi Ziyun had been injured so heavily was because he wasn’t able to control his own ability – the Purple Flame Bone Lance After his ability was broken, the true essence that he had gathered caused a backlash which resulted in hi injured
Feeling Ouyang Zifeng’s reckless and sharp hostility, Lin Ming coldly said, “The reason that your little brother was injured so miserably was because he tried to use an ability he couldn’t control and got struck by his own backlash It has nothing to do with me”
“Nothing to do with you? Hu him, how could my little brother lose control of his Purple Flame Bone Lance!!?”
“Then what you are saying is that I should extend my neck out and let your little brother attack h and couldn’t deal with the Purple Flame Bone Lance? Wouldn’t I be burned to ashes? In Desert Flower Hall, I didn’t even bother him or provoke him, and yet he had to use the Purple Flame Bone Lance which he could not control in order to kill me If he really killed rounded for a month or two But if I killed hi must you Seven Profound Valleys disciples be!”
Ouyang Zifeng laughed viciously and said, “This world has only been decided by strength! Those who are strong er than you, thus I make the rules!”
“You think you are stronger than me?”
“You’ll find out soon enough Oursaid as he turned and strode away He had already looked at the competition schedule ahead of ti in the first round
At the tie had already come to a conclusion
“Second !”

Zhang Yanzhao extracted the thick saber he had strapped to his back Yan Yandong pulled out a solden symbols flew into the air
“De Array!”
The golden sy Yanzhao took a sudden step forwards, and his entire body exploded with sound, “Dragon Tiger Slayer!”
His saber slashed out, itstrue essence in the air stirred together like a raging storolden symbols that flew in the air were like snowflakes that fell into a furnace – they instantly melted away!
Peng!
The first saber strike destroyed Yan Yandong’s array, and the second saber strike broke apart Yan Yandong’s bodily true essence protection The afterrily send Yan Yandong flying backwards
Yan Yandong’s bodily true essence protection had been cleanly broken apart, but he hith control that Zhang Yanzhao possessed was extremely formidable
The different in their strength was just too great
“Zhang Yanzhao is truly fierce!”
“I think that our 16Yanzhao isn’t any worse than the direct disciples of the Seven Factions!”
The ones ere speaking were the disciples of the 16 martial families As they spoke up, a Seven Profound Valleys disciple that was sitting at their side contemptuously smiled and said, “That’s only because you haven’t experienced the strength of the direct disciples for yourself If Zhang YanzhaoBaoyun, then he would be defeated in five moves”
