Chapter 288: Gathering in Tianli City

"Old buddy, I will take you back to the top and finally dominate the Nine Heavens again!" Chen Xiao held the Chiyun Sword, and laughed loudly.

.......

After successfully upgrading this sword, Chen Xiao was also fully confident about the Rookie Competition. He no longer hesitated and went directly to the capital of Tianli Kingdom with the Lord of Tianlong City. The two flew along the way for half a day and finally arrived at the final competition venue of the Rookie Competition.

Here, many warriors have gathered, and there are countless spectators outside. They surrounded this place in three layers inside and outside. After all, this Rookie Competition is an extremely important competition in Tianli Kingdom. It is not surprising that it can attract such a high degree of attention.

After Chen Xiao arrived, before he entered, many city lords greeted him. Obviously, his performance in Tianshan made everyone want to have some relationship with Chen Xiao.

For these people, Chen Xiao naturally greeted them with a smile and would not let them wink at the blind man.

After a while of fake greetings, everyone dispersed. Chen Xiao also waited until everyone dispersed before entering the competition venue with the Lord of Tianlong City.

Compared with the trial of the Tianshan ladder, this second rookie battle trial had fewer geniuses. After all, a large number of people had been eliminated from the five hundred geniuses in the first round. Only those who ranked in the top 100 of the ladder were eligible to participate in this competition.

Chen Xiao's appearance also attracted the attention of the geniuses. Compared with the cold reception of the first ladder, this time was completely different. Chen Xiao was no longer an unknown junior. The performance of Tianshan had made Chen Xiao's reputation extremely loud. Some people even secretly ranked him on the same level as Liu Cheng, saying that Xiao Ling and Xu Xu were not as good as him.

Chen Xiao ignored all these people who paid attention to him, and just scanned his eyes among the geniuses for a while, wanting to see the position of Liu Cheng and others. Now, he really only cared about these people.

His first glance fell on Xiao Ling. This time, the little girl used some makeup to make her already pretty face look even more charming. When she noticed Chen Xiao's gaze, she turned her face and smiled at Chen Xiao.

Obviously, Xiao Ling's attitude towards Chen Xiao was quite kind, and Chen Xiao was willing to make friends with this girl. He smiled faintly and stopped paying attention.

His second glance fell on Xu Xu. At this moment, Xu Xu looked serious, obviously taking the rookie competition very seriously and could not afford to make mistakes.

When he felt Chen Xiao's gaze, a hint of coldness appeared on his face, and he said to Chen Xiao: "On the stage of life and death, the sword has no eyes. Don't let me meet you. If I really meet you, you will definitely die!"

Obviously, Xu Xu was also very angry about Chen Xiao's fame. After all, Chen Xiao's brilliance overshadowed him, which was something he could not accept.

Chen Xiao was not too moved by this person's provocation. In his eyes, this Taoist of the Spirit Sword Sect was already dead. Whether he would meet him in this draw was just a matter of dying early or late.

So Chen Xiao didn't care about his provocation. Why bother with a dying person?

Suddenly, he also felt a cold gaze from behind, staring at him. He turned around and saw the man's face, and then smiled: "Why, Liu Da Tianjiao is not convinced of losing?"

The man with a knife-like gaze, staring at Chen Xiao, was naturally Liu Cheng. In the previous level, he lost to Chen Xiao and ranked second. This was also the first time he tasted the taste of failure, so he would not let it go so easily.

"My idea is the same as Xu Xu's. If you meet me in the next arena, you will definitely die! I won't even give you a chance to admit defeat!" Liu Cheng said with a murderous look on his face.

Chen Xiao smiled somewhat amusedly at this person's words. Now that the Chiyun Sword has been upgraded to the level of a fairy weapon, coupled with his cultivation as a three-star martial master, even if his opponent is Liu Cheng, who has already stepped half a foot into the seven-star martial master, he is capable of killing him, so naturally he does not care about the threat from the other party.

He still said that anyone who wants to kill him will never survive if they meet him!

Chen Xiao's tit-for-tat confrontation with these two people was also seen by a group of geniuses, and they immediately started discussing.

"Mr. Xiao Chen is indeed very strong. When climbing the ladder to the sky in Tianshan before, even Liu Cheng was suppressed by him. But this time it is a one-on-one life-and-death fight. I don't know if he can defeat the heroes again?"

"Tsk! You think too much. This Xiao Chen is just lucky. With his strength as a three-star martial arts master, let alone Liu Cheng, even if he meets Xu Xu, he will probably be beaten to death!"

"Xu Xu is wasting his talent to beat him. A three-star martial arts master is not even in the middle among us. There is no need for the three geniuses to take action. A slightly stronger genius can definitely beat him!"

The voices of the crowd kept appearing. Everyone had their own opinions, but the most powerful voice still believed that Chen Xiao would never be able to suppress everyone and directly win the first place like when he climbed the ladder to the sky.

After all, a one-on-one fight shows the real combat power. Chen Xiao did not deliberately conceal his martial arts cultivation. Everyone knew that his real cultivation was only a three-star martial arts master, which was why everyone was not optimistic about him.

As we all know, the level gap between warriors is one star and one level. Except for those geniuses who have mastered heaven-defying martial arts, or those who are too abnormal, it is undoubtedly a fantasy for others to win by jumping levels.

Even if we take a step back, Chen Xiao has the ability to fight by jumping levels, but the gap between him and the three geniuses is still too big, a full three stars. Even if Chen Xiao is the kind of person who can fight by jumping levels, he can fight by jumping one star. Can he ignore the distance of three stars?

So in everyone's mind, if Chen Xiao meets Xu Xu or Liu Cheng this time, it will be difficult for him to have a good ending.

Even the Lord of Tianlong City, who had full confidence in Chen Xiao before, was a little nervous at this moment: "Mr. Xiao Chen, we will draw lots to decide the opponent later. If you meet an invincible existence, just admit defeat. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not worry about having no firewood to burn. With your talent and qualifications, it won't take long for you to surpass them."

Hearing the anxious words of comfort from the Lord of Tianlong City, Chen Xiao was also a little helpless.

What is an invincible existence? Chen Xiao’s current strength is not strong, and he is far from returning to the peak, so in this lower world, there are strong people who make him afraid.
