Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

In the palace, Lu Chu looked serious, not because Lu Yan had attacked the daughter of an official, but because the demon king of Luohuang Mountain had escaped from the Demon Locking Tower.

The Demon-Locking Tower of Luohuang Mountain suppresses the powerful demon king of the Seven-Headed Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and is guarded by Cao Zhenyu's father, Cao Yinzhi.

This afternoon, not long after Cao Zhenyu's death, the Demon King opened up a 30,000-meter-long underground passage in Luohuang Mountain and escaped underground.

After three hours of relaying, the message finally reached Lu Chu's hands.

"Summon all the experts at the Liquid Aperture Realm in Guangxiang Kingdom to go to Luohuang Mountain to provide support. We are determined to capture the Seven Demon Kings."

Upon receiving the order, all experts at the Liquid Aperture Realm within the Guangxiang Kingdom, including literary giants like Wen Xianren and Yu Daoren who came to participate in the Gathering of Heroes, were to immediately fly to Luohuang Mountain.

The Demon Radiance Sect is an enemy of some of the fifty kingdoms.

The Demon King is the enemy of all humanity.

Before Lu Chu set off, he sent an imperial edict to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was in full charge of the Gathering of Heroes, leaving Hu Can and Mo Yuan, two experts at the Liquid Aperture Realm, to guard Guangxiang City, where they would follow Lu Yan's orders.

When Lu Yan received the imperial decree, he excitedly swallowed a handful of pills and, along with Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuju, and Dongmei, demonstrated their group activities in front of Tian Jie.

After the exercise ended, Lu Yan grabbed Tian Jie's hair and said with a cold smile, "Don't worry, Mo Li and Fan Tielan will come to keep you company tomorrow night."

The Qilin Army Arena can accommodate 50,000 spectators at the same time. It is not only the battlefield for the top 64 to compete for the top 32, but also the battlefield for the top 32 to compete for the first place, and the battlefield for the team battles of various countries after the martial arts test.

As dawn broke, the Qilin Army opened their camp. Along the road leading to the arena, tripwires were neatly arranged, and every five meters a warrior in black armor, holding a spear, stood guard to ensure that no one would dare to cause trouble during the competition, nor would anyone be able to.

Feng Wuhen called Li Mubai to wait at the entrance of the military camp early in the morning. After Zheng Qian and the two women arrived, they entered the preparation area together to wait.

The order of the competition was announced when the rankings were released, with the first place team playing against the last place team, and so on.

Zheng Qian ranked fifty-third, compared to Murong Jin, who ranked thirteenth.

Murong Jin is a celebrity. He graduated from the academy five years ago and was ranked first on the combat power list at that time. In this civil service examination, the fourth subject, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, showcased his talents. He won first place with a high score of 97.

With the sun high in the sky, in order to ensure the smooth determination of the top 32 in the morning and not affect the competition for first place among the top 32 in the afternoon, the matches were held on two separate stages.

Once everyone was seated, Hu Canfei flew to the center of the arena and announced loudly, "The competition to advance from the top 64 to the top 32 will be a knockout tournament. The winners will directly advance to the top 32. The ranking match for the top 64 will be held at the Wind City Arena this afternoon, while the match for the top 32 will be held here. Now, please welcome Crown Prince Lu Yan as the representative of the contestants to give a speech for the competition to advance to the top 32. Let's give him a round of applause."

clap clap clap...

Fifty thousand people applauded, the sound deafening.

Dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, Lu Yan flew slowly to the center of the arena under the bright sunlight of the rising sun, amidst the gaze of 50,000 people and the respectful salute of 30,000 soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I, Lu Yan, stand on this arena as the Crown Prince of Guangxiang Kingdom, not to boast, but to prove one thing. True strength lies not in birth, nor in power, but in a heart that dares to challenge and never gives up!"

"In the upcoming matches, I will give it my all, not only for my personal glory, but also for the dignity of Guangxiang Kingdom, and for all those who cherish martial arts dreams. I believe that on this land full of miracles, as long as we dare to dream and dare to pursue our dreams, nothing is impossible!"

"I now announce that the round of 64 has advanced to the round of 32, and the competition has officially begun."

clap clap clap...

The sound rang out again. Lu Yan, with his big face held high, waved to the audience in the sunlight and slowly flew off the stage.

He's an expert at showing off.

Hu Can came to the center of the arena and loudly announced the ranking order of the match: the first to go up were one against sixty-four, and the second against sixty-three.

"In the first match, Lu Yan will face Yang Yaoqiang; in the second match, Lu Cilin will face Zhang Yicheng."

As soon as Hu Can finished speaking, Lu Yan and Lu Cilin flew onto the arena, while Yang Yaoqiang and Zhang Yicheng walked onto the arena.

Of the top 64, aside from a few geniuses, almost all were experts at the Void Spirit Realm and Dragon Transformation Realm.

Zheng Qian is the only expert in bone-shaping mirrors.

The ranking of entries is not as numerous as in a round-robin tournament, nor does it eliminate contestants in a single elimination round. Those who make it into the top 64 are primarily determined by their strength, with luck being the next factor.

After the four people signed the waiver of life and death, Hu Can read out the rules and struck the gong.

Clang...

"start."

Yang Yaoqiang bowed to Lu Yan. He was also a powerful figure from Guangxiang Kingdom. Even though he knew he would lose, he still went all out in the battle against the Crown Prince.

“Your Highness, I know I cannot defeat you, but as a cultivator, as you said, I will give it my all, not only for my personal glory, but also for the dignity of Guangxiang Kingdom, and for all those who dream of martial arts.”

Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of affirmation: "The path of cultivation should be fraught with difficulties. I have seen your courage, and I will not hold back in battle. This is the greatest respect I can show you."

Encouraged, Yang Yaoqiang shouted, "Your Highness, be careful! My sword is known for its speed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yaoqiang raised his sword, his body flashing with blue light, leaving a phantom in place, and thrust it straight at Lu Yan.

"Swallow Sword Style, Shadow Strike".

Lu Yan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead produced a ball of flame in his hand and threw it towards Yang Yaoqiang.

boom……

Flames exploded, covering half of the arena.

Yang Yaoqiang changed direction, dodging the flames, and used his sword to clear a path, attacking Lu Yan from the right rear.

"Swallow Sword Style, Escape Thrust."

Yang Yaoqiang moved even faster, and just as Lu Yan turned around, he almost stabbed him in the chest.

With his right foot slamming heavily on the ground, Lu Yan flew backward, simultaneously throwing out a second ball of flame.

"The flames of war spread, explode!"

A roaring fire erupted across the entire arena, leaving Yang Yaoqiang with nowhere to hide and engulfed in flames.

The blue light grew brighter. Yang Yaoqiang used his spiritual energy to block Lu Yan's sea of ​​fire and was preparing to attack forward when Lu Yan's third ball of flame hurtled towards him.

Yang Yaoqiang's spiritual energy was almost depleted. It wasn't that he wasn't strong; it was that Lu Yan's flames were too intense.

The sword spun around, and Yang Yaoqiang roared, "Swallow Sword Style, Break Sword!"

With a whoosh, the sword light transformed into a crescent moon, slashing at the flames, which instantly exploded around him.

Bathed in flames, Yang Yaoqiang was drenched in sweat and hurriedly shouted.

"Admit defeat."

Lu Yan waved his hand, extinguishing the flames. Yang Yaoqiang, his sword planted firmly on the ground, gasped for breath.

"Your Highness, I concede."

Lu Yan smiled slightly: "You were able to withstand three of my moves, very good. You can come and work for me after the competition."

Yang Yaoqiang was so excited that he knelt down on the spot: "Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

On the other side, Lu Cilin's opponent, Zhang Yicheng, was equally fierce. After taking three moves from Lu Cilin, Zhang Yicheng was sent flying off the stage by Lu Cilin's palm strike.

Fan Tielan frowned. Lu Yan and Lu Cilin hadn't even used their full strength yet, winning very easily. She asked Zheng Qian with concern.

"Are you confident you can win against Lu Yan's flames and Lu Cilin's environment?"

Zheng Qian thought for a moment: "I'm not sure about the arena match, but let's make it 20/40 in the life-or-death battle."

I struck with two swords, and they split into four pieces.
