Below the viewing building, there is a long table covered with red silk, and next to it stands a wooden sign indicating the registration office.
It was already noon, and most of the young people of the right age in the town had signed up and were waiting for their own competition in the waiting area where wooden sheds were set up.
Lin Xuan urged Lin Xiaotian to the registration office. After paying a fee of fifty coppers, the registration officer with a goatee wrote down Lin Xiaotian's name and age on the list.
Fifty copper coins was enough for the father and son to eat several big meals.
Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw his father handing over the money without hesitation.
If his father's expression hadn't been the same as usual, he would have even thought that his little behavior during the blind date was exposed, so his father deliberately paid someone to beat him up.
"Participants should wait in the waiting area over there. Remember, there are important people from the castle tower upstairs, so don't shout too loudly."
After collecting the fee, Goatee reminded them and waved impatiently for the two of them to leave. He never looked at Lin Xiaotian from the beginning to the end, obviously not having any hope for him.
The father and son nodded one after another. Lin Xuan gave his son a few brief instructions, and the two separated at the registration desk, and Lin Xiaotian walked to the waiting area alone.
"Oh, why don't you admit defeat as soon as you get on stage..."
Along the way, Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he casually glanced at the fierce competitions in various arenas.
Everyone who is competing above is basically a master at the third or fourth level of Qi refining stage, and any one of them can defeat themselves.
Anyway, the result is loss. Anyone with a normal mind would choose the former between voluntarily admitting defeat and being beaten up and then losing again.
So the young man thought.
"Wow……!!!"
At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the No. 3 arena not far away.
Lin Xiaotian moved when he heard the sound and looked over there.
The small town residents watching the battle on the stone steps were all focused on the No. 3 arena on the far left, with surprise on their faces.
Moving his eyes slightly, he saw a silver-haired girl in white clothes with an extraordinary posture, standing in the center of the third ring with a calm face.
The girl's facial features are extremely delicate, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her delicate white palms are calmly stretched out in mid-air in front of her.
Her opponent, however, had already fallen outside the three-foot-wide ring, stood up, and left the ring with a look of regret on his face.
"Winner, Luo Xi!"
The referee at the edge of the ring shouted loudly, announcing the outcome of the match.
"Did you see that with just one move, Hu Chunhua, who was admitted to the Xinwu Yuanqi Academy, was knocked out of the ring!"
"Nonsense, I have eyes. Whose family does the girl with this sign belong to? Why is she so powerful? Do you know her?"
"I don't know, what about you?"
"I don't know you either... Is this from our town?"
The onlookers were surprised and looked at each other, but no one recognized this outstanding silver-haired girl.
What shocked everyone even more was that in the next two battles, the girl defeated the enemy with one move, and no one took a single move from her!
The silver-haired girl Luo Xi won all three battles!
"Oh, boring."
Another move knocked the opponent in front of her off the ring. After the girl noticed the various looks from around her, she frowned slightly.
She was looking forward to the rumored competition, but unexpectedly her opponents were all unqualified rookies, which dampened most of her interest.
Shaking her head in disinterest, the girl jumped off the ring with light steps.
With such strength and extremely good looks, as soon as the girl arrived in the waiting area, many young people from the small town came over and wanted to get acquainted with her.
However, without exception, they stopped two feet away from the girl.
There is no such thing, just because beside the girl, there is a woman with a long sword standing.
The woman's eyebrows are like smoke, her eyes are like clear water, and she wears the same white cloth as the girl.
Three thousand green silk threads are tied behind her back with a length of red hair satin. The length reaches her waist, swaying slightly in the breeze.
The most eye-catching thing is the long sword with a purple scabbard behind the woman.
It looks ordinary on the surface, but before the sword is drawn, the faint sword energy contained in it is already painful to the skin and difficult to approach!
It was obvious that the two of them did not belong to Qingyun Town, and they did not intend to have too many interactions with others.
When the teenagers approached this terrifying sword energy, they all stopped in embarrassment and looked up at the sky, saying that the sky was really blue today, and then returned disappointed.
Similarly, when Lin Xiaotian came to the waiting area, he sat down in the corner very self-awarely, keeping a distance from the two of them.
He was quite bored while waiting to come on stage, so he casually glanced at the crowd on the steps around him.
When his eyes fell on somewhere, his chubby face couldn't help but tremble.
Among the spectators, a young man was seen casting a cold look at him with a face filled with resentment.
"That's..., Xu Kun?"
Looking from a distance, Xu Kun held several bamboo boards wrapped with cloth strips in his right hand, hanging dangling on his chest. It looked like he had broken bones.
Lin Xiaotian felt a chill on his back when he was stared at by Xu Kun, his face looked innocent.
I muttered in my heart that if your own hand is broken, what does it have to do with me? Why are you looking at me like this? It wasn't me who did it...
He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked back, only to find Brother Pheasant and Brother Crow sitting not far to his right, apparently also participating in this competition.
What was completely different from Xu Kun was that when the two of them saw him looking over, they both turned their faces to look elsewhere in panic, as if they were very afraid of him.
"Uh, what's going on?"
The expression on his face became more and more confused. Lin Xiaotian naturally didn't know what someone did on his behalf after he fell into coma.
At this time, Xu Kun in the distance suddenly stood up from the steps and slowly walked towards the waiting area.
Lin Xiaotian was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this guy going to come to trouble him at this time? There was a big shot from the castle tower above him.
However, Xu Kun's target was not him, he just said hello to a young man in the waiting area.
The other party responded and immediately left the waiting area to meet Xu Kun.
There was a lot of noise in the square, and Lin Xiaotian couldn't hear what the two people said even though they were far away.
However, he knew the young man who was talking to Xu Kun. He was Huang Daqiang, who was admitted to the Qingbei Yuanqi Academy. He was at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage and was also Xu Kun's eldest cousin.
During the conversation between the two, Xu Kun looked in Lin Xiaotian's direction from time to time, casting a cold gaze.
Not long after, the conversation between the two ended.
I saw Huang Daqiang nodding and patting Xu Kun on the shoulder, as if he was promising Xu Kun something, then left alone and came back after a long while.
Although Lin Xiaotian was confused, he didn't pay too much attention and turned his eyes to the fierce battle going on in the ring.
