Chapter 439
Just when a referee was about to remove the lottery box, he found a note inside, and then he immediately used a megaphone to ask the audience: "Is there anyone absent from this competition?"
"Ah? Is there anyone absent from this competition?"
"Damn, how could he be absent after finally getting a spot? Is that person crazy or stupid?"
"Don't say that, he is self-aware and feels that he has no hope, so he quit."
"I think that's about the same."
...
"One last question, is there anyone absent from this competition?"
Everyone in Tiangang Sword Sect was helpless. Ji Mo was taken away by the national teacher, and there was nothing they could do about it.
"Tiangang Sword Sect, Ji Mo is absent."
At this time, Mu Yu, the leader of Tiangang Sword Sect, stood up and said.
Shua!
In an instant, the entire spectator platform of 10,000 people cast their eyes towards the source of the sound, and when everyone saw Mu Yu in the last circle, they couldn't help but laugh.
"No wonder you are absent, it turns out you are from the weakest three sects, hahaha..."
"Why are you standing up to answer? Aren't you ashamed?"
"I really don't understand how the Northern Territory is selected. Even the people from the weakest three sects can be selected. It seems that the Northern Territory is already useless."
...
Everyone laughed below. The people from the Tiangang Sword Sect and many sects in the Northern Territory gritted their teeth silently and clenched their fists.
Only the disciples of the Li Clan listened to the ridicule from other fields around them, still smiling, and the smile on their faces became more and more intense.
In their eyes, the sarcasm of these people now will eventually become the most gorgeous embellishment of their glory in the competition.
On the pavilion, the four princes sat together, listening to the voices below mocking the Northern Territory and shook their heads helplessly.
How could they know that the reason why the Northern Territory was so weak was because the goddess sealed a lot of heaven and earth source energy when she sealed the monster, which eventually led to the general difficulty of people in the Northern Territory to practice.
Compared to the four domain sects below that didn't get along very well, the relationship between the four princes was exactly the opposite - they could be said to be close friends.
"Since the person hasn't arrived, it will be judged as abstention." The referee said.
After that, he picked up the note, and a ball of fire rose in his hand and burned it to ashes.
The referee continued: "Now there is one less person in the competition, so we have to modify the matching rules..."
"Wait!"
At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded in the venue of the competition. Everyone looked back and saw an old man falling from the sky on the sixth-level spirit beast Red Winged Flying Crane.
"Master State Master!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the State Master would come in person just after the competition started. Under normal circumstances, the State Master would come with the emperor on the second day of the competition.
Several referees immediately stepped forward to salute.
"What do you want, Master Imperial Master?"
"Don't get rid of the absent disciple. He is helping me track down Chu Feng's spy. The mission is very important." The Imperial Master said very seriously: "The emperor has ordered me to keep the disciple's eligibility until his mission is completed."
"Huh?!"
Everyone was shocked. What's going on? In previous competitions, no one could retain the eligibility to participate despite being absent. Why is this year so special?
The key is the order from the emperor! The absent disciple is from the last-ranked sect in the country!
Everyone was envious and jealous. What mission is this? Why can't I be assigned to it?
"Okay, thank you for coming here personally. I will handle this matter well." The chief referee said.
"I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
After that, the Imperial Master waved his hand, flew down like a crane, and lightly jumped back on the crane.
After the national teacher left for a long time, another referee said: "First match: Sun Xiaodong of Liuyun Peak VS Liu Hang of Piaomiao Sect!"
With the referee's voice, everyone's mind began to turn back. Every match of the Central Plains Competition is a contest between elites from various domains, which must be very exciting.
Sure enough, the two sides did not disappoint everyone's expectations as soon as they came on the court, and the battle was evenly matched.
Both sides were masters of the middle stage of the Azure Sky Realm. There were only a few such strong men in the Northern Domain, but looking at the other three domains and the Central Plains, such masters were just very common.
A battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally Sun Xiaodong of Liuyun Peak seized a flaw in the opponent's vacant air and won with a narrow blow.
"Second match: Silver Sect..."
The next match made everyone's blood boil, and even some disciples of the sect shouted excitedly.
On the pavilion, many young princes and princesses were also commenting on the moves of the participating disciples.
Even the eldest prince, the second prince and Princess Xuer were watching very seriously.
"Sixth match: Sun Moon Sect Yang Shengjie VS..."
As soon as Yang Shengjie came on stage, some women cheered with great enthusiasm, as if the person standing on the stage was not Yang Shengjie, but their husbands.
Of course, there were only a few women who were overly crazy about him. Most of them just admired him in their hearts, but watched silently.
As soon as Yang Shengjie came on stage, he clasped his fists to his opponent and said in a gentlemanly manner: "Please teach me."
The opponent saw that he was so polite, and because of his great reputation, he also clasped his fists, and then started the duel.
But Yang Shengjie was one of the eight geniuses of the enemy country after all. Although his opponent was an opponent in the middle stage of the Azure Sky Realm, in his eyes at the peak of the Azure Sky Realm, it was like child's play.
After watching this battle, everyone started to exclaim.
"Yang Shengjie actually broke through to the peak of the Azure Sky Realm!"
"It seems that the ranking of the eight geniuses of the empire will be changed."
"Not necessarily, he broke through, so did the other seven not break through?"
...
Everyone was looking forward to the performance of the eight geniuses.
Yang Shengjie won this game easily. After winning, Yang Shengjie did not forget to help his opponent and said politely: "Sorry for the offense."
This made the opponent a little embarrassed.
The women saw stars in their eyes and had a better impression of Yang Shengjie in their hearts.
"Royal sister, I think Yang Shengjie is really good," the eldest prince said to Princess Xuer again: "Didn't you say before that you hate arrogant men? Look, he is not arrogant now, isn't it good? No matter how arrogant he is, it was a year ago."
"Royal brother, the competition still depends on the result. No matter how good he is, it is useless." Princess Xuer said.
"My dear sister, this is wrong. As long as you like it, my brother will definitely find a way to let the man you like take the first place." The second prince said.
"That's right. There are only you, me and your second brother among our father's descendants. You are our only sister. How can we let you marry someone you don't like? Wouldn't it make you suffer for the rest of your life?" said the eldest prince.
