Chapter 243 Audition Elimination
The twelve joint examinations had brought unprecedented popularity to the Haoran Sect, and at the same time, they had brought enormous benefits to Haotian City.
When the Outer Sect first arrived at the Haoran Sect, what everyone was most interested in was the Haoran Sect itself. Almost everyone was running around in the Haoran Sect.
However, a few days later, more and more people shifted their interest to Haotian City. This was because they would sell precious spiritual herbs and precious artifact forging materials that they could not normally see or buy.
During the three days of rest, a large number of outer sect disciples poured into Haotian City and began to buy large quantities of items.
Meanwhile, the outer sect elders entered the Hao Ran Palace and began discussing a long-term plan with the Hao Ran Sect elders.
After this joint examination, the Haoran Sect would send a few elders to teach martial arts to the outer sect as guest lecturers from the other eleven sects.
The eleven sects also gave the Haoran Sect more convenience. In the future, if the Haoran Sect disciples went out on missions, they could directly treat the eleven outer sects as "affiliated sects". After entering, they could enjoy the treatment of core disciples.
Xiang Nan took advantage of these three days to rest.
In the blink of an eye, the twelve joint examinations had arrived.
All the sect elders participating in the joint examination brought their own disciples to the entrance of the Haoran Palace.
The people from the other fifty sects came even earlier, arriving before dawn, all of them spiritedly preparing to watch the spectacular joint exam.
The total number of outer sect disciples participating in the twelve-sect joint examination this time was 1,300, and the total number of Haoran sect disciples was 1,500.
Only today did Elder Shi Beihong announce that the examination hall would be located in the Haoran Mountain Range outside the Haoran Sect.
Afterwards, flying demonic beasts rushed into the sky, bringing nearly 100,000 people into the mountains.
The entrance exam hall was located at the western end of the Haoran Mountain Range, next to the Haoran Sect, in an open canyon.
As for the spectators' seats, they were directly set up on the mountain peaks on both sides.
Nearly a hundred thousand people were seated on both sides of the mountain peak. Looking at the valley from here, they could not see anything clearly, let alone a small martial artist competing inside.
This joint exam was similar to the Bluestone City Selection. It directly set up a huge barrier of light. This barrier had a visual amplification effect, allowing the audience to clearly see and hear the people they were paying attention to from a distance.
Of course, only martial artists could do this. They had to inject their Yuan Qi into the barrier and aim it at the person they were paying attention to. Only then could they obtain vision and hearing. Apart from that, there was no noise.
This caused ordinary people who did not possess Yuan Qi to lose their way of watching the battle.
This was a feast for martial artists.
At this moment, all the participating disciples were already standing in the valley inside the barrier.
Elder Shi Beihong stepped into the air and stood high up in the air. He poured his Yuan Qi into his voice and said, "Through the joint discussion of the twelve sects elders, it has been decided that the twelve sects joint examination will officially begin today."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience applauded loudly and cheered everywhere.
The vast number of merchants from Haotian City had also arrived. They were shuttling back and forth in the spectator stands, selling all kinds of delicacies and drinks. This was also a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Afterwards, Elder Shi Beihong announced the reward system in advance.
The top ten disciples of the Twelve Sects Joint Examination will receive an Earth Grade Intermediate Grade Martial Skill, an Earth Grade High Grade Weapon, and a Grade Five medicinal pill! With a mysterious reward.
Hearing this, countless people became excited. That was an Earth Grade Intermediate Grade Martial Skill! Such a level of martial skill was difficult to obtain even in the Haoran Sect.
As for weapons and pills, they were treasures that could be encountered but could not be sought.
As for what the mysterious reward was, no one could guess for a moment. It should be better than these three rewards.
Following that was the outer sect reward. Those who entered the hundred outer sect could enter the Nature Sect and be qualified to participate in the second twelfth consecutive examination.
Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, Shi Beihong announced that the reward system was over, and that was the rules of the competition.
The entire 12-sect joint exam was divided into three parts.
The first segment was the auditions elimination tournament. They were divided into ten groups, each with 150 people. In the end, 75 people were eliminated from each group, a total of 750 people were eliminated.
The second segment was the team competition. It was divided into ten groups. Each group consisted of 15 teams. Each team consisted of five people. Eleven teams were eliminated from each group, and the remaining four teams consisted of 550 people and 200 people.
The third segment was the arena competition, where 200 people fought until the end of the joint examination.
After hearing the rules of the competition, all the outer sect disciples who participated in the joint examination heaved a sigh of relief. It could be said that there was no longer any written examination.
"Next, ten sect elders will be the judges of the Joint Examination with me."
There were a total of eleven referees in the joint entrance examination. Among them, Shi Beihong was the chief referee. Of the other ten referees, eight were elders from second-class sects, one was recommended by three third-class sects, and the last was an elder from the Haoran Sect.
"Then now." Elder Shi Beihong clapped his hands and said, "I declare that the twelve consecutive examinations have officially begun."
"Next, let's proceed to the first round, the auditions elimination round. All participants, please draw lots and choose your own group."
Twelve sects and twelve lines lined up to draw lots.
Xiang Nan stood in the queue of the Haoran Sect and took out a number plate from the referee box on his side with the words "Ten" written on it.
"How many are you, the tenth group?" Murong Wanqing glanced at the number plate in Xiang Nan's hand.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and looked at Murong Wanqing's number plate. He found that there was a "One" written on it.
The two of them were at the two ends.
At this time, someone in the spectator stands suddenly shouted, "Come on, Xiang Nan! Come on, Murong Wanqing! Win honor for our First Grade Academy!"
The two of them turned around at the same time and couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that it was the students from the previous First Grade Academy.
"Alright!" As the referee, Elder Shi Beihong announced in the sky, "You have all received your own group numbers. Prepare to enter the arena now."
As he spoke, Elder Shi Beihong raised his hands high.
Immediately after, the enormous valley suddenly shook. One could see that ten enormous rings had actually appeared on the vast land.
Afterwards, those rings actually rose from the ground! They turned into floating mountains.
Countless people cried out in shock.
How powerful was Shi Beihong? He was actually able to dig out ten mountains from the ground with every move he made.
Every mountain had a flat top and bottom, and there was still mud and gravel falling from the bottom.
The silent mountain peaks floated in the air so steadily that the scene was incomparably spectacular.
"Heavens" Li Qingchuan was speechless, "Let alone let me build ten mountains, even if I were to break one of them, it would probably take a few days and nights."
