One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

The next morning, on the back of Longhu Mountain!

A large group of people had gathered here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ritual, though only a small portion would compete for the position of Celestial Master.

Ma Long, Feng Baobao, Wang Ye, Zhang Chunan, Xu Si, and Xu San stood together.

Xu Si took the company's intelligence and introduced it one by one.

Ma Long, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood with Wang Ye, with Feng Baobao close to his left.

Soon, the old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain arrived at this place with a group of people.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

Aside from the necessary sacrificial rites, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is most about the sparring session that we, the extraordinary people, are most concerned about.

The rules and requirements have already been announced, so I won't go into detail again!

"Everyone! Let's begin!"

Standing on the high platform, the old Celestial Master, dressed in the Celestial Master's robes, with white hair and a youthful face, spoke.

As soon as the old Taoist master finished speaking, several young Taoist priests ran out from all around, each carrying various items.

"What are they going to do?" Zhang asked.

"The draw is about to begin to determine our opponents!"

A total of 128 people registered for the competition, and the first round will determine 32 people to advance to the next round!

"So, three-quarters of the contestants will be eliminated in the first round?"

"That's right! It's not cruel!"

Those with the strongest abilities will naturally stand out.

Furthermore, the first round is a four-player battle, meaning there's a possibility of three against one!

Zhang, the virgin, was shocked: "Ah! A four-person battle to choose one person? I'm so famous now..."

"Don't even think about it, you're bound to be surrounded and attacked!"

Prepare for the worst!

Malone patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Although Bao Bao, Wang, and I can help you clear some obstacles, there are too many people. It's hard to say whether we'll even meet in the first round!"

Everyone nodded and looked ahead, each contestant drawing a lot.

Ma Long opened his fortune slip, which read '甲牛马' (Jia Niu Ma).

He turned to look at Feng Baobao's note, which read 'Jiahualu' (甲花鹿).

Wang Ye's is 'Bing Qingluan', and Zhang Chunan's is 'Yi Baihu'.

The Heavenly Stem number represents the number of matches participated in. Each match is divided into multiple smaller venues, and the matches are held simultaneously.

Four people who drew the same lot competed in the same small venue.

Feng Baobao had no idea what he was going to do, and stared blankly at Ma Long.

"Want to exchange?"

She pretended to hand her piece of paper to Marlon, which startled everyone.

"No! Big sister!"

Are so many people watching?

If we could choose our opponents, what would be the point of drawing lots?

"Oh!"

After looking at the four people's fortune slips, Xu Si sighed and said, "As expected, there were no duplicates, which is a good thing!"

Zhang, you absolutely must get through the first round!

The two Taoist priests should be fine, right?

Wudang Mountain has a well-known reputation within the community!

Ma Long chuckled but didn't reply.

Wang Ye, standing to the side, pulled Ma Long back.

"Junior Uncle! You must know other tricks up your sleeve!"

In the first round, try to hold back your strengths!

After all, we possess one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills; it wouldn't be good if we were targeted!

Wang Ye's concerns are valid, but...

"I only know Feng Hou Qi Men!"

"How can you expect me to hide my talents?" Ma Long replied helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

"Damn it!"

Who starts by unleashing their ultimate move right away?

"Can't you think of any other methods?"

Wang was stunned after hearing this, never expecting that Ma Long knew Feng Hou Qi Men!

"Don't worry, I'll try not to use overly powerful spells."

Then I tried my best to step on the right spot, just to make it not seem too outrageous.

I understand you need to put on an act to cheat!

That way, my account won't get banned!

Ma Long put his arm around Wang Ye's neck and spoke with utmost confidence.

Feng Baobao, who was standing nearby, also heard their conversation and put her arm around Ma Long's neck.

"Should I act in it too?"

"Their performance wasn't that strong?"

Uh… so this is what it feels like to have someone hug your neck!

Ma Long immediately released Wang Ye!

After breaking free from Feng Baobao's arm, he said, "Baobao! Do as you please!"

As long as you're happy!

"The first match of the first round is about to begin, let's go participate!"

Feng Baobao went to the 'Jiahualu' field, and only Zhang Chunan followed her.

Xu Si and Xu San trusted them completely and went straight to watch other famous contestants and gather information about them.

Wang Ye followed Ma Long to the 'Jia Niu Ma' arena, wanting to see how much of Ma Long's ability he would reveal.

The competition venue at Longhu Mountain was designed to the specifications of a gladiatorial arena, with contestants competing below and tall stands surrounding them.

"The contestants from the Jia Niu Ma team are entering!"

A Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain stood on the tall platform and made an announcement.

When the referee spoke, Ma Long took his ticket and entered the court.

Only after entering the venue did I see the three people around me clearly.

Two burly men, with strong physiques, were clearly skilled in external martial arts. Their body shapes were almost identical, like twin brothers!

They stood together as soon as they entered, united against the outside world, looking at others.

Good guy!

The twins were drawn together; this looks like it won't be a good match!

Malone then looked at another person, and a fragrant aura wafted over. In front of him was a middle-aged beautiful woman.

She has a hot figure, dresses daringly, and exudes a seductive charm.

Although it was somewhat appealing, it was nothing to Ma Long, who had tasted summer rice before!

"Hey! These two big guys aren't fun!"

Are you a young Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain? You're so handsome!

Do you want to play with your sister for a bit?

If I'm in a good mood, I might help you advance!

Hearing the tempting offer from the middle-aged beauty, Ma Long hesitated!

Um... I'm only eighteen, and this woman must be at least thirty. I'm...

It's a bit difficult to start!

No, no! I love Xia He! Xia He loves me!

We cannot compromise for the sake of the competition!

"All contestants have entered the arena, the competition begins!" the referee's voice rang out again.

The two burly men rushed over and went straight for the middle-aged woman, but did not attack Ma Long.

Perhaps they thought he was too young and weak?

Malone was naturally delighted!

"Heh! I haven't even made a move yet!"

You two are so blind to come along! Since that's the case..."

The beautiful woman stopped talking, her high heels slammed into the ground, and a ball of orange-red Qi sword emanated from her body as she rushed towards the two burly men.

The two burly men couldn't dodge and were trapped by her, eventually collapsing to the ground, their limbs limp.

Seeing how easily the beautiful woman had dealt with the two men, Ma Long was shocked!

Damn! That was a brutal insertion!

"Young Taoist priest, have you thought it through?"

Or do you want to test your own character?

Can you get past my intoxication?

Hehe! How about we make a bet?

"You just have to withstand my puff of sleeping powder. If you don't get knocked out and fall into a dream, you win, and I'll leave immediately!"

The beautiful woman had her own agenda; her sleeping gas amplified people's deepest desires, thus plunging them into a dreamlike state!

Most extraordinary individuals couldn't withstand it!

However, the smoke is slow, and if someone is on guard, it is not easy to hit them, which is why she made a bet with Malone!
