"Protection?"
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, "Then why are people still chasing me?"
"Hmm? People are chasing you even after the Crown Prince gave you the Message Transmitting Jade Slip?"
Su Qingluan looked at Jiang Chen with astonishment.
Everyone on the peak widened their eyes, looking at Jiang Chen incredulously.
"Mr. Jiang, are you referring to the chase outside the hundred-mile forest of Zhen Yuan City?"
Ming Xuanren’s eyes shifted as if he realized something and softly called out.
Jiang Chen glanced at Ming Xuanren and nodded lightly.
"The Long Family in Elixir Divine City, Cheng Family, and the Alchemy Dao families that participated in the encirclement have all been taken to Cross-Border City, ready to be sent to the Extraterritorial Battlefield once the Cross-Border Teleportation Array is activated."
Ming Xuanren spoke softly, casting a glance at the several major forces standing behind the Zuo Clan members: "The Zhou Family from Lieyang Domain, Spirit Sword Sect, Yuanling Sect, Qingyang Sect have sent half of their elites to Cross-Border City."
The faces of a few Saints behind the Zuo Clan members suddenly turned pale, revealing a frightened expression in their eyes.
"Senior Elder Meng Youyuan from Changling Academy also went to Cross-Border City."
Ming Xuanren added.
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, looking at Ming Xuanren with surprise.
"Prince Si Wencheng also went to Cross-Border City."
A voice echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.
Jiang Chen’s eyes widened, almost popping out.
Wow, the Crown Prince is... too powerful, isn’t he?
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sigh deeply, his thoughts wandering as he turned to look at Hu Yiqiu, with an unusual expression in his eyes.
Hu Yiqiu’s face changed slightly upon noticing Jiang Chen’s gaze, turned away to avoid eye contact, and internally cursed, "You brat, what kind of look is that? Comparing your master to the Crown Prince, are you out of your mind?"
"Thank you, Elder Ming, for informing me."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, cupped his fists and bowed to Ming Xuanren.
"Hmph! What difference does it make? In this kind of competition, it’s not about background. Here, even if you get eliminated, the Crown Prince won’t say anything. Many have failed; he might even take back the Message Transmitting Jade Slip!"
An extremely sour voice rang out, and Wu Qiang’s figure flashed into the seventh region of the Stele.
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then chuckled and shook his head.
Not far away, Lin Cheng hesitated, finally gritted his teeth, turned, cupped his fists, and bowed to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, we’ve been offensive before, thank you, Mr. Jiang, for the warning earlier."
"Family Head Zuo, you’re too kind."
Jiang Chen responded indifferently, not saying much.
Lin Cheng sighed lightly, glancing at Zuo Qiqi, who was still recovering, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
He knew very well that all grievances were caused by Miss Zuo Qiqi’s temper. Now, the person she provoked the most had saved her, and this should wipe away the feud.
Moreover...
Lin Cheng looked at Jiang Chen, a hint of doubt in his eyes, deep down. Princess Chang’s invitation, the Crown Prince sending the Message Transmitting Jade Slip, is it really just because of his talent? His talent is strong, but not enough for the Royal Family to win him over, right?
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
At each quarter-hour mark, people would fly out and others go in from the Stele.
Wow!
Suddenly, a section of the Stele flickered, and the top row of the ranking next to the Stele stabilized.
"Wow, Jiang Chen is ranked first!?"
"The results are out so soon?"
"This... other than breaking one person’s formation, everyone else was inside for just a quarter-hour! What kind of formation did he set up? How’s it so powerful?"
"What has he comprehended?"
Seeing the changes on the Stele, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Chen looked at the Stele, the formation in the seventh region was gone, and the faint sensation within him had disappeared. The formation was wiped out by the Myriad Array Chart!
He glanced at the ranking chart beside it: Jiang Chen, ten wins, first place.
With a nonchalant smile, Jiang Chen wasn’t bothered.
"Jiang Chen, congratulations."
"Yay! Jiang Chen brother is first!"
"Young Jiang, nicely done!"
Su Qingluan and others smiled as they spoke out.
"As long as you achieve ten victories, the rank doesn’t matter; the first round, second round, are just tests of basic skills. The third round is the true test."
Jiang Chen spoke softly, neither arrogant nor impatient.
Everyone nodded lightly.
Soon, the second round of the competition ended.
Over a hundred people participated in the second-round battle, only twenty-seven advanced!
"The second round ends. Rest for two hours, then proceed to the third-round battle!"
Ming Xuanren shouted.
The qualifying participants all sat cross-legged, recovering the consumed Primordial Spirit Power. The eliminated Array Masters looked dim briefly.
Zuo Qiqi glanced at Jiang Chen, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, feeling a mix of unwillingness and despondence.
She was eliminated; injured under Jiang Chen’s grand array, she could no longer set up a powerful formation. Jiang Chen’s last Killing Array was too strong, and even if she wasn’t truly slashed by the formation, she tried too hard to beat Jiang Chen, and infused too much Primordial Spirit Power when strengthening the Defensive Great Formation.
Once the Defensive Great Formation broke, her Primordial Spirit was wounded, suppressed now only with the help from elder family members.
"Qiqi, stop opposing Mr. Jiang. It’s time to change your spoiled attitude; not everyone will fear you or our Zuo Clan!"
Lin Cheng patted Zuo Qiqi’s shoulder, speaking gently.
Zuo Qiqi nodded, though feeling immensely dissatisfied, she understood she was truly no match for Jiang Chen, and she couldn’t do anything against him anymore. Continuing would harm her family!
That was also the thought of many Array Dao family members; they dared not provoke Jiang Chen anymore. The punishment of the Long Family in Elixir Divine City and others really scared them!
Being sent entirely to the Extraterritorial Battlefield could easily mean annihilation!
Two hours passed quickly, and the Stele of the Myriad Array Chart changed again.
The Stele no longer had ten regions, only one space, and that space contained only a single mountain peak. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Third stage, Array Dao battle, participants entering the Myriad Array Chart, where all other powers of entrants will be suppressed. The Myriad Array Chart will assess whether you are eliminated based on the attacks you can withstand according to your own realm. However, those of lower realms, be careful; if you sense any danger to life, you can call to concede, and the Myriad Array Chart will automatically transfer you out!"
"The challenge order starts with the 27th-ranked person choosing their opponent, and so on. After one round, the top ten in victories advance. Each person can only be challenged three times, and if challenged and defeated, the challenger takes your ranking and continues to challenge!"
Ming Xuanren explained the rules and then said aloud, "Now, the challenge begins!"
