351: C351 The Selection Begins

C351 The Selection Begins

Three days, say neither long nor short.

In these three days, Chu Huaiyu, in the name of the Merchant Union, asked the Zhang's to prepare a magnificent arena.

Of course, this was related to the quota to enter the Hidden Sect, so this arena was not open to the public.

In these few days, all 18 families had gathered their carefully nurtured juniors.

Loo Zhuo had said before that he could only stay in the secular world for more than half a month. Obviously, he was also rushing back to celebrate the new year.

Therefore, in order to save time, each family could only send one representative.

When this decision was brought up in the beginning, it naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of each family.

After all, there were also differences in strength between each family.

Although most of them were clans in the second and third tier of the southeast, it was not ruled out that some clans were flourishing with people, so there were many talented people.

Some of them were confident in their own disciples, and they even dreamed of obtaining all four spots.

However, although they were dissatisfied, the people of the various families did not object.

Why?

This was the problem of the overall situation!

Since he had already joined the Merchant Union, he had to think about the future.

If a family took over everything, it would only cause public indignation and jealousy.

If a disciple was sent to the Hidden Sect, he might not even be able to meet them in a few decades. The only thing he could borrow from them was the prestige of the Hidden Sect.

The Tao family was the best example. Even after so many years, they still looked at the Five Great Clans of the Yanjing with the same expression.

Most importantly, these people knew that this time, all four spots in the southeast had been taken by the secular families. This was considered against the peace.

Why did they say that? Because in the past, the number of spots left for the secular family during the selection of the Hidden Sect was at most six or seven.

The rest were all divided among the hidden twelve families.

The sudden appearance of three or four "geniuses" of the Hidden Sect might arouse the suspicions of the Hidden Sect itself.

After all, even if some families were confident, they weren't confident enough to think that their "geniuses" were stronger than the disciples of the three hidden families in the southeast. Therefore, it was considered lucky for one person to be able to enter the Hidden Sect.

Otherwise, if the Hidden Sect blamed Loo Zhuo for crippling all four spots, the loss would outweigh the gain.

The arena was rebuilt using an underground boxing ring that once belonged to the Dragonwing Hall.

The iron cage outside the arena was opened and the arena was expanded and strengthened.

Outside of the one-acre wide pentagonal arena, there were also more than ten layers of ladder stands.

On the day the ring opened, people from various families entered the ring one after another.

After all, their families still had business to do, so the number of people who came wasn't much. It was already enough for each family to send over ten or so people.

Even so, the viewing gallery was still empty.

However, as a group of people from the Dragonwing Hall entered the stands, the empty seats were quickly filled up.

All the brothers and sisters who had nothing to do had come. Even if they didn't have seats, they had to find a place to stand.

The black mass of people had stunned all the people from the major families.

However, before they could figure out what was going on, Zhou Wen, Chu Huaiyu, Lin Yichao and company also rushed in.

The main viewing platform was naturally reserved for the heads of the various families and the upper echelons of Merchant Union.

Zhou Wen yawned the moment he entered the arena. He swept his gaze across the contestants sitting on the lowest level chairs.

Then, he slowly walked onto the arena.

On the other side, Faang Yuan had long been waiting there with his people. When they saw Zhou Wen appear, the eyes of the dozen or so kids behind him lit up.

Even Lim Changshan had rushed back with his men. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "It's finally beginning. Look at the sweat on my palms!"

"That's all!" Faang Yuan rolled his eyes at this guy. Then he walked around the Dragon Subduing Team members and said sternly, "Whoever dares to embarrass me, I will not let this year pass. Remember this?"

"Yes!"

A group of men immediately nodded their heads in agreement. Their eyes were burning with flames of war.

At that moment, Zhou Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about the formalities. I'll now announce the rules of the arena!"

How could he let the disciples of Dragon Subduing Team participate in the match and not participate in the competition for the spot?

Simple! He just had to change the stage to clearing the stage.

The ones guarding the stage were naturally those brats from the Dragon Subduing Team. If they could win and advance, but not win, then they would be eliminated.

Including Lin Yichao, Gu Zhaonian, and Lin Zhiwei, it was a perfect match of 18.

As for Faang Yuan, he was too old and did not want to bully others. Chu Huaiyu's pure identity was not suitable.

This was the rule of the first round. As for the second round, there must be a second round.

After Zhou Wen announced the rules, the stadium fell into a momentary silence.

The members of the various families immediately frowned. What guardian? To put it bluntly, they were just a bunch of hooligans.

Now, having these young masters and mistresses fight a bunch of hooligans made them feel humiliated.

"Master Xiao, isn't this too childish?"

"Yes, Master Xiao. Although the kid in the family is useless, at least he has been practicing martial arts for 20 years."

These were the words of the leaders of the major families. They looked at Faang Yuan and the others with disdain.

Of course, this was because these guys were shrewd and self-righteous, which was why they didn't make it sound so unpleasant.

However, the disciples sent by the various families to participate in the competition did not have that so-called self-restraint.

"With them? Hmph..."

"Master Xiao, I respect you as a great master, but you can't insult us like this!"

" This is it, what's the point of fighting? Let's find our own opponents to compete, so that we won't see some people embarrass themselves! "

The group of 'geniuses' didn't try to hide their disdain towards the Dragon Subduing Team members. Their lips curled up as high as they could.

The continuous mocking remarks had finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the onlookers of the Dragonwing Hall. Immediately, they opened their mouths to retort.0

Jiang Loong furrowed his brows as well. However, before the group of underlings could say anything, he stopped them with a cold gaze.

The Dragonwing Hall's group had furious expressions on their faces, but they could only shut their mouths.

However, in the eyes of these 'geniuses', they treated this as a guilty conscience, and the disdain in their eyes intensified.

Faang Yuan's eyes had already sunk to the bottom. He turned his head coldly and looked at the faces of the group of disciples from the Dragon Subduing Team.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it!"

"[You know what to do now?]"

"I know!" After saying those two simple words, Lim Changshan took a step forward and landed on the arena.

He waved his sleeve and turned his head coldly. His indifferent gaze swept across the young man from Lintai Hu family who had the highest smile on his face.

He raised his chin, and his eyes were full of provocation. The corner of his mouth curled up. He was even higher than the representative of Hu family.

Lim Changshan's gaze was like a thorn that pierced into the representative from Hu family.

Noticing the mocking gazes from the other representatives, how could he sit still? He slapped the armrest and jumped into the ring.

"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I'll let you have a taste of this young master's power!"

With a cold shout, the representative from Hu family immediately took up a stance and lunged at Lim Changshan.
