C78 The Martial Offering Begins!
"I can't believe you're a participant. Then we'll meet again on the field. I hope you didn't lie to me."
After saying that, Qin Yan left the audience seats and walked towards the participant lounge.
Ye Hong Tian looked at Qin Yan's departing back in puzzlement. He didn't understand why Qin Yan was so obsessed with fighting him. With his current strength, he should be able to defeat Qin Yan with the Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence, but killing him would be extremely difficult. Unless Qin Yan also had the resolve to fight to the death with him.
Right at this time, an old man suddenly appeared in the sky above the arena. This old man was precisely the Elder Xuan who had left Ye Hong Tian behind earlier.
Elder Xuan coughed, drawing the gazes of everyone in the audience seats over. Then, he slowly said, "This time, this old man will still be the judge of the Blue Sky Martial Sacrifice. Next, we will talk about the rules of the Martial Sacrifice and the final prize as usual."
"There are a total of seventy-two participants for this year's Martial Sacrifice. According to the number of the Martial Sacrifice Token, each of them will choose their opponent one by one to participate in the elimination round. The Martial Sacrifice will be held for seven days, which is the same as the previous Martial Tribulations"
"After the discussion between our Azure Sky Auction House's Elders, we are prepared to add more prizes for this Martial Sacrifice. We have sent down an illusory magic array on the arena stage. A martial artist needs to enter the illusory magic array and fight. During the battle, no one is allowed to harm others' lives. Let's fight and compare notes until it's too late. "
"Because the difficulty of the fight has increased, the final prizes have also become much richer. The top eight can have fifty high-grade Origin Stones and a low-grade earth-step Bone Healing Pill. Each of the top four can have a medium-grade earth-step Void Origin Pill. The champion will not only have one Void Origin Pill as a reward, but also a high-grade earth-step Golden Snake Scarlet Blood Pill! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience gasped. Ye Hong Tian saw the reactions of these people and roughly understood the value of the Golden Snake Scarlet Blood Pill. He did not know that he had actually eaten a Golden Snake Scarlet Blood Pill, because it was fed to him by Old Sha when he was unconscious.
At this time, Ye Hongtian had a strong interest in this so-called Golden Snake Scarlet Blood Pill. He really wanted to know how much help this Golden Snake Scarlet Blood Pill could provide to his cultivation.
Old Man Xuan looked around the audience and then turned his eyes towards Ye Hongtian and said, "Since the rules have been said, then the martial practitioners with the first battle token will be invited to the stage."
When Elder Xuan said this, the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience looked at Ye Hongtian.
Ye Hongtian was stunned, then he smiled bitterly. The token that Elder Xuan gave him was the first battle token. It made Ye Hongtian feel like Elder Xuan was cheating him.
Then, he thought about it and felt relieved. In any case, no matter what token it was, it had to be fought. His goal was to be number one. No matter how strong the opponent was, he had to fight. To him, the stronger his opponent was, the more valuable it was to him. In any case, there would be Elder Xuan as the referee in the Martial Festival, and no one would harm his life.
Ye Hong Tian slowly stood up. With a kick of his feet, he flew towards the arena, causing the surrounding audience to discuss among themselves.
"This time, the first battle token is in this kid's hands? He is only at the third level of Qi Cultivating Stage, how can he possess this first battle token?"
"This year's Azure Sky Martial Offering is really exaggerated. He actually gave the first battle token to a Third Stage Qi Refining martial artist."
"I believe in the Azure Sky Auction House's choice. Perhaps this brat will give us a pleasant surprise."
... ""
The discussions in the audience were very loud, and all of them fell into Ye Hong Tian's ears. The discussions of these people made Ye Hong Tian want to become the champion of the martial ceremony even more.
Arriving at the center of the arena, Elder Xuan in the sky also slowly landed beside Ye Hong Tian and said, "Give me your token."
Ye Hong Tian took out the first battle token that Elder Xuan had given him from his Cosmos Sack and handed it to Elder Xuan. After Elder Xuan took the token, he raised it high and showed it to everyone, proving that Ye Hong Tian was indeed the holder of the first battle token.
Then Elder Xuan returned the token to Ye Hong Tian and shouted, "The holder of the first battle token has actually entered the arena. Next, please invite the other seventy-one holders of the Martial Sacrifice Token to enter the arena."
After saying that, seventy-one doors appeared out of thin air at the edge of the arena. These seventy-one doors slowly opened. Seventy-one martial artists walked out from each of the seventy-one doors. Among them, the lowest cultivation was at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Qin Yan, Xing Yan, and Gao Qian Yang were impressively among these 71 martial artists.
Among the seventy-one martial artists, other than these three, the rest all looked at Ye Hongtian with curious eyes. They naturally knew that the first one to go on stage was the holder of the first battle token.
Xing Yan and Gao Qianyang had long heard from Elder Xuan that Ye Hongtian was the holder of the first battle token. As for Qin Yan, his eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Ye Hongtian.
Qin Yan stared at Ye Hong Tian and continuously muttered, "Impossible, impossible, this is impossible..."
Although the voice was very soft, everyone present had a certain level of cultivation. Such a tiny sound could still be easily captured.
Following that, everyone present looked at Qin Yan and Ye Hong Tian with playful gazes.
"Since everyone is here, then the martial sacrifice ceremony will officially begin. Martial artists with the first battle token will first choose their opponents, then number one, then number two, and so on. Those who have been challenged will no longer need to fight."
Elder Xuan counted the number of martial artists in the arena, and after confirming that no one had not come, he said to everyone.1
Ye Hong Tian was immediately startled. He originally thought that Elder Xuan gave him the first battle token to cheat him, but who knew that the first battle token actually had such an advantage. He licked his lips, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he looked at the seventy-one people present.
After releasing his soul force to check the cultivation of everyone present, Ye Hongtian finally fixed his gaze on Qin Yan. Among the seventy-one people, Qin Yan's cultivation was at the middle and upper-class. It was also the group most suitable to be his whetstone.
When Qin Yan sensed Ye Hongtian's gaze, he was first taken aback. Then, a cruel smile appeared on his face. If Ye Hongtian dared to challenge him, then it would be exactly what he wanted.
Although the martial sacrifice ceremony could not directly take Ye Hongtian's life, it did not say that he could not cripple his opponent. As long as he did not die, then there would be no problem. At that time, he could use the power of the Qin Family to secretly kill Ye Hongtian.
"Elder Xuan, I want to challenge Qin Yan for this first round." Ye Hongtian cupped his fists and said to Elder Xuan.
When Elder Xuan heard that, he looked curiously at Ye Hongtian and said, "Little Brother Ye, you have to think it through. Qin Yan is considered a superior martial artist among these 71 people. Are you sure you want to challenge him in the first match?"
Ye Hongtian's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He fiercely nodded. Seeing that Ye Hongtian insisted on challenging Qin Yan, Elder Xuan did not say anything else.
"The first match, Ye Tian versus Qin Yan. The rest of the martial artists go back to the lounge to prepare for battle."
With that said, Elder Xuan rose into the air once more and stood in the air above the arena. Other than Ye Hongtian and Qin Yan, the other 70 martial artists all returned to their own lounge.
