Long River Eternity

The audience seats were filled with important figures from Tianshu Pavilion and major families. Their reactions after seeing the big guys were relatively calm, but the ordinary audience outside were completely caught up in the frenzy.

"Wow! This is the first time I've seen so many bigwigs! Except for a few ministers who I've seen occasionally in newspapers, I've never seen the real faces of the rest of them." A young woman couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't talk about you, this is the first time for me at my age!" The middle-aged man next to her was also so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"Such a fierce aura, I dare not look at you directly!" The young man on the other side had a slightly trembling voice, and it was unclear whether it was out of excitement or timidity.

"Is that Pavilion Master Nian? I heard that no one has ever seen him in person, and he actually showed up this time. It's simply unbelievable!"

"Yeah, isn't it just a competition between a few teenagers? How could it attract so many bigwigs to come?!"

"Don't you know? The finale is said to be a team composed of the top ten strongest people on the Heavenly Ranking, challenging the Military Department's Land Development Corps."

"The top ten on the Heavenly Ranking? They are all the strongest among the younger generations of the major families. No wonder the heads of the major families came to watch the battle."

"I even heard that the stability group might appear as well."

"Is this true?! Where did you get this information from?"

"There's someone inside me!"

As the audience talked, Nian Zhongsheng and everyone else landed in front of a group of young men.

Nian Zhongsheng deliberately stopped in front of Feng Hao, smiling, and looked Feng Hao up and down with interest. Feng Hao also widened his eyes and looked at Nian Zhongsheng with curiosity.

"Are you Feng Hao?" Nian Zhongsheng asked.

Hearing Nian Zhongsheng's words, the others turned their heads and looked over, all curious in their hearts about who could have attracted Nian Zhongsheng's attention.

"It's me. You are the Pavilion Master Nian that Brother Lin mentioned, right?" Feng Hao asked back.

"Haha, that's right. I heard that you have extraordinary strength. Show your strength well." Nian Zhongsheng said with a smile.

It turned out to be the child of Lin Ding's family. No wonder he has attracted the attention of Nian Zhongsheng. It seems that the rumors are true. The relationship between Nian Zhongsheng and Lin Ding is indeed extraordinary. Everyone thought to themselves.

After Nianshengzhong finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Feng Hao, but instead addressed all the young men and said loudly, "After such a long period of seclusion, I am delighted to see so many young talents emerging in Jiuzhou. This is a blessing for Jiuzhou and even more so for humanity. I hope that everyone will give their all today, demonstrate their strength, and fight a spectacular battle. Now, I declare the competition open!"

Although the voice of chanting for all living beings was not loud, it was clearly heard by every spectator.

As soon as Nian Zhongsheng finished speaking, the audience seats and the outside spectators burst into deafening cheers and warm applause.

A group of big guys left the ring amidst the thunderous applause. They took a step forward and appeared in front of the seat in front of Lin Ding in the blink of an eye.

Nian Zhongsheng's seat happened to be in front of Lin Ding. When Lin Ding and his companions saw Nian Zhongsheng and his group arrive, they quickly stood up and bowed slightly to greet Nian Zhongsheng and Zhan Tianqiong: "Pavilion Master Nian, Minister Zhan."

Nian Zhongsheng saw Lin Ding and nodded with a smile on his face. He then looked at Liu Xianxian and the others beside him. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Lin Ding, you are surrounded by so many talented people. Even an eight-year-old child is eye-catching. I am very satisfied with Feng Hao. If you can't be my disciple, are you willing to let Feng Hao become my disciple?"

With the level of thinking of all living beings, he was able to see through Feng Hao's extraordinaryness at a glance, without having to judge through fighting.

Lin Ding was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "It is a great honor for Feng Hao to become Pavilion Master Nian's disciple, but this matter still needs to be decided by him. After the competition, I will take him to visit the Pavilion Master."

"Good! Very good! Haha!" Nian Zhongsheng looked at Lin Ding with eyes full of admiration.

At this moment, the competition on the ring has begun. Prior to this, the young men had drawn lots in the preparation area to determine the order of their battles. The format was quite simple: a one-on-one duel, with the winner determined in one round until the final champion was crowned. Surrendering, passing out, or falling off the ring were all considered failures.

The first match of the opening match was between Ji Haoyu of the Ji family and a ten-year-old girl from Nanzhou named Nangong Ya. She had short hair that reached her shoulders and a pretty face, but she looked a bit androgynous.

This competition is open to the entire Jiuzhou. This girl is the most talented and most advanced child in the Nanzhou School in Nanzhou City. She has now reached the middle stage of Yuheng Realm.

Ji Haoyu was only nine years old, and his cultivation was at the early stage of the Yuheng Realm, just one step away from the middle stage. He stood on the ring, looking at Nangong Ya across from him with a calm expression, showing no intention of taking the initiative.

Nangong Ya looked at Ji Haoyu and said, "Your realm is slightly lower than mine, so I'll let you make the first move!"

"Don't say anything, attack quickly, otherwise you won't have a chance to fight back." Ji Haoyu responded coldly.

When Nangong Ya heard this, she was stunned at first, then she snorted coldly and rushed towards Ji Haoyu.

She had already shown the proper courtesy, but the other party did not appreciate it, so Nangong Ya naturally stopped being polite.

In a flash, Nangong Ya came in front of Ji Haoyu and threw a powerful straight punch towards his face.

Originally, Nangong Ya planned to test Ji Haoyu's strength a little first, but before her fist landed, Ji Haoyu disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Nangong Ya felt a chill coming from her side. She quickly withdrew her hand and bent her arm to protect her head. Then she felt as if she was hit by a heavy hammer. A piercing pain came from her arm, and she flew to the side.

Nangong Ya rolled over several times on the ground before she managed to steady herself. She looked in the direction where she had just been attacked, but there was no one there.

Before Nangong Ya could feel surprised, another gust of fist wind came from the side. This time, Nangong Ya did not choose to resist, but retreated in the opposite direction, turned around and tried to find Ji Haoyu.

However, when she turned around, Ji Haoyu, whose attack had just missed, disappeared again.

When Nangong Ya stood firm, Ji Haoyu's voice came from behind: "I said, you have no chance."

Before Nangong Ya could react again, a powerful whip kick kicked her in the waist, and Nangong Ya was knocked out again in an instant.

Before Nangong Ya landed, Ji Haoyu had already caught up with her, and his fists rained down on Nangong Ya.

Nangong Ya had no choice but to cross her hands and try her best to protect her head to prevent her vital parts from being seriously injured.

Just as Ji Haoyu was gathering strength to throw the final punch, Nangong Ya seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and released all the energy in her body. The powerful shock wave formed pushed Ji Haoyu back.

Then he stabilized his body, flew into the sky, stood in mid-air, opened his hands and aimed at Ji Haoyu, and dense energy balls shot out from his palms and rushed towards Ji Haoyu.

The ring was instantly filled with smoke and dust, completely engulfing Ji Haoyu.

After the attack, Nangong Ya gasped in the air. However, the smoke and dust on the ring had not yet dissipated. Ji Haoyu's cold voice sounded again behind Nangong Ya: "You lose."

As Nangong Ya turned around, she was greeted by a powerful energy wave that hit her chest squarely, knocking her down from the air and into the smoke and dust of the ring, followed by an even more violent explosion.

As the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, Nangong Ya was lying unconscious on the cracked ring.

Ji Haoyu slowly landed back on the ring, and then went straight back to the preparation area without looking back.
