Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 52 Contest
In Qingyun City, the vast martial arts arena was crowded with people, and there were ten huge battle platforms in the arena.

Today is the day when Qingyun Valley recruits disciples for a martial arts competition.

This is one of the most sensational events in Qingyun City every three years. One can see many young talents from all over the world, their powerful strength, and many strange and rare martial arts and soul skills.

The crowd was in high spirits, with noise and envy rising one after another.

On the fighting stage of the martial arts competition, not only will you be looked up to by others and feel high-spirited, but also, if you can pass the second round of the competition, you will be able to enter Qingyun Valley and your future will be bright from then on.

At this time, Ye Xuan was standing among the crowd.

He used the Yinyuan Jade Pendant to conceal his cultivation level at the first level of the Zhenyuan Realm again, and stood together with several other members of the Ye family.

"This competition should be the same as the previous ones. The battle for the top 100 will still be mainly between disciples from several large families in Xuanwu Country. Just do your best. If you meet someone too strong to defeat, don't fight hard!" Ye Jing warned.

Ye Xuan, Ye Yan and several other Ye family disciples nodded.

Ye Xuan also understood what Ye Jing meant. The Ye family was just a small family in Xuanwu Country. The foundation of the Ye family disciples could not be compared with those of the disciples of big families, whether in cultivation or martial arts and martial spirits.

Ye Xuan's eyes moved and he looked into the distance. There was a cheer there, and he saw a group of young boys and girls in brocade robes and gorgeous clothes slowly walking into the field.

These boys and girls were all extremely powerful in martial arts, with arrogance and indifference in their eyes.

"Look! They are the children of the Zhang family!"

"So powerful! The Zhang family is indeed a great martial arts family. The auras of those children are so strong!"

"The one walking in the front must be Zhang Shaoyu, right? It is said that he is only one step away from opening a silver-level martial spirit. The aura on his body is really terrifying."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, the Zhang family members became more proud and attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang Shaoyu sneered, looked around, and said with great enthusiasm, "The top ten in today's competition must include me, Zhang Shaoyu!"

Wow~! The crowd was in an uproar when they heard Zhang Shaoyu's bold words. This genius of the Zhang family has such strong self-confidence!

Ye Xuan's eyes flashed. Zhang Shaoyu was about the same age as himself, but he was already at the third level of True Yuan Realm. He really had reason to be proud.

At this moment, another group of young men in black walked into the martial arts field, and the crowd became agitated again.

The aura they possess is in no way inferior to that of the Zhang family, and is even slightly three times stronger.

A young man with a strong aura at the front of the black-clothed team said coldly, "Who dares to compete with me, Xu Kuang, in today's competition?"

The crowd was once again amazed by these extremely arrogant words.

Zhang Shaoyu's face turned grim. He actually dared to be more arrogant than him.

Ye Xuan was in the crowd, his eyes were deep in thought. Compared with the Zhang and Xu families, the children of the Ye family were inconspicuous. But this Xu Kuang was indeed extraordinary, and his aura was slightly stronger than Zhang Shaoyu's.

Then several teams entered the martial arts arena. Each of them was a famous martial arts family in Xuanwu Country. In each of these martial arts families, there were one or two powerful young men. Their goal was to compete for the top ten, or even the first place!
Ye Xuan looked and saw a huge viewing platform in front of the martial arts field, where some elders and deacons from Qingyun Valley were sitting.

"The time has come, the competition begins."

Suddenly, a Qingyun Valley deacon announced loudly.

His voice echoed throughout the entire martial arts arena, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

Suddenly everyone fell silent and looked towards the platform.

The middle-aged deacon looked around again and continued to announce:
"The rules for this competition remain the same as before. It is an elimination system. All contestants must follow the instructions on the crystal tablet and go on stage to compete."

Ten huge crystal tablets of the formation were erected, and on the tablets were clearly visible the number of opponents and on which stage they were.

Ye Xuan, Ye Yan and other members of the Ye family looked and quickly found their names.

"Number 900 Ye Xuan versus Number 520 Yi Zhang, Battle Stage Number 10."

……

In a dense forest behind the viewing platform, a plump female deacon of Qingyun Valley asked a middle-aged male cultivator in front of her in a low voice, "Senior Brother Ge, have you completed the task I asked you to do?"

The middle-aged male cultivator smiled slightly, "Junior Sister Yi Fang, please rest assured. I have already made arrangements. However, it is just a small ant at the first level of the True Essence Realm. Why should you take it so seriously..."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ge. That kid ruined my good deeds. I won't feel at ease unless I kill him." Yi Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Even if that kid was killed, she still felt aggrieved.

Ouyang Qian is the little princess of the Ouyang family. Because of a tiny ant, she actually offended Ouyang Qian.

"This is just a trivial matter..." The middle-aged male cultivator named Senior Brother Ge smiled and said indifferently.

In the martial arts arena, the competition has already begun, and there are countless warriors watching around the ten arenas.

Ye Xuan was standing under the No. 10 fighting stage at this time, watching the competition on the stage.

On the No. 10 arena, two young men, both at the first level of the True Yuan Realm, were fighting.

One of them was a burly young man holding a sledgehammer, who kept attacking another young man on the opposite side who was holding a black meteorite iron stick.

A "dang" sound!
The sledgehammer hit the iron stick, and the young man in the first level of Zhenyuan Realm holding the war stick was shocked by the huge recoil and could not help but take a few steps back.

"Okay, you are indeed quite capable, but I will not be soft-hearted from now on."

The burly young man sneered and said this, and suddenly a golden light burst out from his body. With a flash of his figure, the sledgehammer in his hand turned into a hammer shadow and smashed towards the opposite side. The strength of his aura was more than twice as strong as before, and the hammer shadow blew up a gust of wind that swept out.

The young man holding the iron rod in the other hand had a flash of panic in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, and black air appeared on his arms. There was a crackling sound, and his arms became thicker than before. He swung the iron rod in his hand wildly.

A series of muffled "bang bang" sounds!
The shadow of the hammer fell, and the young man holding the iron rod screamed and fell off the battlefield.

The crowd was shocked.

This burly young warrior was born with immense strength, enough to tear monsters apart alive.

"No. 824, I will beat you with my hammer!" the deacon of Qingyun Valley announced on the stage.

Next, in just half an incense stick of time, dozens of matches were decided.

The people who came on stage to fight were mostly at similar realms, with the majority being at the first and second levels of the True Essence Realm, but their combat strength varied greatly. Some disciples who were too weak often did not even have time to display their martial spirits before being defeated by the opponent's combat skills, and the outcome was decided.

Looking around, the situations on the ten arenas were mostly the same.

Of course, there are also some opponents with the same cultivation level and similar combat power, and a fierce and brutal battle is needed to decide the winner.

However, since it is not a life-and-death battle, once someone is at a disadvantage or believes that he is no match for the opponent, he will voluntarily admit defeat or jump off the stage.

"In the next match, No. 900 Ye Xuan will face No. 520 Yi Zhang!" Half an hour later, the deacon of Qingyun Valley who was presiding over the No. 10 ring competition announced loudly.

Ye Xuan's eyes flashed, and it was finally his turn to go on stage.

"Shua!" A young man in black jumped onto the stage first.

"Where is Ye Xuan? Why don't you come up and die!" Yi Zhang shouted coldly, holding a spear in his hand and full of energy.

"It turned out to be Yi Zhang from the Yi family. His fighting ability should not be underestimated!"

"The Yi family is a relatively well-known lower-class family in Xuanwu Country. In the past two years, several young men with good qualifications have emerged in the family, including Yi Zhang."

"Number 900's luck is really bad. He actually met this genius from the Yi family."

"Even if he didn't meet Yi Zhang, who is at the second level of the True Yuan Realm, it would be difficult for him, an unknown country boy at the first level of the True Yuan Realm, to advance, right?"

The crowd was talking, and many people shook their heads, obviously not optimistic about Ye Xuan and thinking that Yi Zhang would win easily.

"It's actually the second level of True Yuan Realm." A strange look flashed across Ye Xuan's eyes, but he didn't take it too seriously. He stepped onto the stage steadily step by step.

"Are you Ye Xuan?" Yi Zhang looked at Ye Xuan with a scrutinizing gaze and said coldly.

Ye Xuan nodded and smiled slightly. When he was at the first level of True Yuan Realm, he could kill a peak warrior at the third level of True Yuan Realm. Although Yi Zhang was of some background, it would be interesting to see how strong he could be with his cultivation at the second level of True Yuan Realm.

"go to hell!"

But in the next moment, a sharp gun light suddenly burst out and pierced Ye Xuan's eyebrows.

An extremely fierce killing move, with true energy surging and white light flashing from the tip of the gun.

"Hiss~" The crowd of onlookers gasped. They didn't expect Yi Zhang to act so suddenly, decisively, viciously and ruthlessly.

"Ye Xuan, be careful!"

"what!"

Ye Jing's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted, and Ye Yu and several other members of the Ye family screamed in fear.

"Swish!" Just when everyone thought Yi Zhang was going to pierce Ye Xuan's head with his gun, a silver arc flashed.
