Chapter 1053: Expert of Courting Hatred
'It turns out that the cultivation of my manifestation powers is still too shallow. Otherwise, even if I couldn't control this fog, I could at least find out the approximate limits of this area,' Yun Yang sighed in his heart.
But, what reassured him was that although the fog gave him no feedback, he did not feel any hostility either. It meant that the fog had no malice toward him and his party for the time being at least.
They continued to walk for about two hours. Yun Yang judged that with their speed, they should have traveled no less than two hundred miles by now, even though they walked fast at times and slowly at other times. At the very moment this thought appeared, a flash of light suddenly burst out in front of him!
When the light faded away, he found themselves already in a tent. The group walked out of the tent and then looked back, seeing a sign on the tent which read: Residence of Nine Supremes.
Ehen they turned around, in front of them was a vast square surrounded by similar tents.
These tents looked like big steamed buns from a distance, and when they looked at them carefully, they saw all kinds of names, such as Beast King Sect, Thousands Swords Sect, Divine Saber League, Blue Cloud Sect, Seven Star Mountain, Three Yi Sect, Four Directions School, Great Dragon Flag, and many others...
All the sects participating in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners had gathered here, and the scene was very spectacular.
"Are all these sects already qualified for ten victories?" Shi Wuchen sucked in a cold breath.
Although the Demiurge-Flawed Ten all had very rich experience because they had traveled the martial world for a long time, the sects they knew, or the sects that often troubled them, all had at least lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. Moreover, there were only so many sects in this world that possessed Celestial Luck Banners. Therefore, even though they already had some expectations about the sects participating in this battle, Shi Wuchen and the others did not expect that there were actually so many different sects out there.
And this did not even include the whole Bound of Universe.
There were just so many sects within the region of the Sacred Heart Palace, one of the major powers under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Celestial Court. So, how many sects would there be in the whole Bound of Universe?
That was really a mind-boggling, astronomical figure.
By just looked around roughly, they already saw more than five hundred sects, and every one of them was qualified to come here only after defeating at least ten sects without Celestial Luck Banners!
In other words, there were at least more than five thousand sects competing for a place in this battle of the Celestial Luck Banner!
This kind of cruelty was simply inconceivable and appalling! The so-called hordes of troops crossing a wooden bridge were probably just like this.
What was more exaggerated was that the wooden bridge that everyone wanted to cross this time could only be crossed once, and only one person could cross it!
"Opponents will be randomly assigned." A list of rules suddenly appeared in the tent. Everyone quickly looked at the rules intently and did not dare to be careless.
Soon afterward, someone's scolding could be heard coming out of a tent, "Who does that Residence of Nine Supremes think they are? So many sects came here a month earlier just to wait for them? I didn't expect them to arrive in the last few days! They are really too arrogant!"
As the man's voice spread, many people immediately chimed in. It was clear that everyone was full of complaints at this moment, and was very dissatisfied with the late arrival of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
"What does it have anything to do with Residence of Nine Supremes when you came here early because you have no patience?" Staring at the rules, Yun Yang said with a disapproving expression on his face, "Do you think you don't have to wait even if we come one month earlier? Do you really think this battle will start early because we arrive early? What nonsense are you talking!"
His words were not polite, and his voice spread all over the square, immediately arousing a new round of clamor.
"How rampant!"
"Who does he think he is?"
"I want to challenge him!"
Yun Yang sneered, "The Residence of Nine Supremes is right here. If you are unconvinced, you can challenge us as soon as the battle begins! However, before that, you'd better prepare your own coffins, or your corpses will be exposed to the wilderness after you are killed!"
Everyone who heard his words flew into a rage!
"When the battle begins, this Residence of Nine Supremes is mine!"
"Ours!"
"This guy is too arrogant! I will personally kill these fools from the Residence of Nine Supremes!"
Yun Yang snorted and turned to look at the rules leisurely, then smiled and said, "I see."
The disciples, as well as Shi Wuchen and the others, all looked at Yun Yang as if he were a god.
"Master is really too domineering! No one else in the world can compare with him!"
"Too handsome! Master is so handsome!"
Shi Wuchen and others only felt that although they were called whetstones by outsiders, their ability to court hatred was simply too weak compared with Yun Yang!
Although they had spent half their lives in the martial world, all their enemies together were probably not as many as Yun Yang's, who were offended by him today with just one sentence!
The rules for the qualification battle, which was the first round of the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners, were very simple. Only one sect could challenge at a time, and the challenged sect must answer the challenge.
There were no restrictions on casualties or fighting methods, and there was no limit on the number of people participating in the battle.
In general, there was only one requirement: of the more than five hundred sects present, only one could advance to the next round of the Celestial Luck Banners challenge!
And it was obvious that there was only one hidden indicator of the rules: group fights were not allowed, so there was no situation where several sects could challenge one sect at the same time.
All challenges must be one on one. On the surface, at least, such rules were perfectly fair!
As for the situation where two sects were facing each other and one only sent three people while the other sent thirty people, it was still acceptable!
Such a rule was simple and cruel.
After reading this rule, Yun Yang felt relieved and had no doubts about winning.
The battle would begin the morning after tomorrow and end in three days. It was tantamount to saying that the more than five hundred sects here would have to defeat all sects except themselves in three days!
To be fair, this rule was neither harsh nor soft. It was harsh because, after all, more than five hundred sects were participating in this battle, and it was a little tight in terms of time to decide the winner within three days. However, it was not harsh because these sects, which had the courage and confidence to take part in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners, must have considerable strength, and the best experts always fought fast. Therefore, although there were so many sects vying for qualification, there was still enough time!
Seeing this rule, Yun Yang was even more relieved. As long as there was no possibility of being attacked by multiple sects at the same time, but they had to simply fight one sect at a time with real strength, Yun Yang was confident that his sect could win. Otherwise, how could he covet things above the lower-class Celestial Luck Banner?
"Insolence!"
Yun Yang only gave everyone this word as their strategy, and all the disciples immediately began to take action, their performance immediately causing quite a stir.
