C98 Draw

At the northwest corner of the Xi Yang City, there was a huge arena, which was the location where all the Hidden Dragon Competition in the history of the Great Qi Kingdom held. Normally, this area was open to all, and anyone could go in and visit or train here, as long as they paid a bit of fees, it would be sealed and would not be able to casually enter during the process of the Hidden Dragon Competition.

Right now, this place was extremely lively. Many people were lined up here, waiting for the lots to be drawn.

According to the rules, Hidden Dragon Competition were split into two parts. The first part was the preliminaries, which meant that the preliminaries consisted of a total of two rounds. Only those who had passed the two rounds of preliminaries were qualified to participate in the second part, which was the ranking competition.

Before the preliminaries, there was still the drawing of lots, and the matches would proceed according to the drawing of lots. The drawing of lots was also arranged at this place.

"What bad luck. We actually drew the third group. This is a place known as the death squad."

"Hehe, Group Three, you are so tragic. I have just seen Group Three, just the people who are in the top 100 of the Gold Ranking s, there are eight of them, which is the hardest group to get into."

"Sigh, we've already gotten it. What can we do? We can only blame our bad luck."

"Among the twenty teams, there are two groups that are the most troublesome: the three groups and the ten groups. Among the twenty teams, there are two groups that are the most troublesome, the three groups and the ten groups.

"If I can get four groups, then I'll be happy. There are at least one expert in the four groups who has broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm, and there are only two in the top one hundred. Entering the four groups is the easiest way to advance."

"Yeah, yeah."

Wu Chen arrived slowly, and after lining up for a while, it was his turn.

"Give me your ID card."

On the high platform, there was someone specially recording the event.

"Here." Wu Chen took out an iron plate from the Storage Ring and handed it over.

"Yunfeng City Wu Family's Wu Chen. Alright, let's draw."

The initial metal plate only had the words "Yunfeng City Wu Family" on it. Later, when the Qingyang City was being registered, the word "Wu Chen" was added to it to further confirm his identity.

"Hehe, another person from Yunfeng City has arrived."

"There's no need to look anymore. He will definitely be eliminated again."

"I remember that someone from the Yunfeng City also came two days ago. Once the test begins, he from the first stage of the Spiritual Rotation Stage took his tail between his legs and left in a dejected manner."

"The first stage of Spiritual Rotation Stage, this is still considered good. In the last session of the Hidden Dragon Competition, a 'genius' appeared in Yunfeng City, but he didn't even have a cultivation of the first stage of Spiritual Rotation Stage."

"Hehe, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten about it. That person is also a weirdo, haha."

If it were anyone else from the Yunfeng City, their faces would have long ago turned red, their heads lowered, and they would have left in a dejected manner.

But, Wu Chen only smiled, he slowly reached out his hand and fumbled in the box by the side for a while, then casually took out a jade tablet, with one look, he saw four groups of twelve.

"Fourth group, your luck is really good."

"That's right. The experts in the fourth group are the least. They are the easiest to advance to the next level."

"Sigh, how come I don't have such good luck? If I were to go to group four, I might even be able to advance."

"There's no way we can get such luck. Let's think of a way to defeat more opponents and earn the points needed to advance."

Hidden Dragon Competition's promotion, was determined by the number of points they had. The top 100 spots in the group were given, and those below 100 were all eliminated, and the points obtained were all based on defeating an opponent to obtain two points.

"Give me the jade plate."

Wu Chen immediately handed over the jade tablet. The person in charge of registration looked at it, then took the pen to register it.

"Alright, you can go now. Next."

Throwing the jade medallion and identity card to Wu Chen, the registrar didn't care anymore.

After keeping his identity plate and jade plate, Wu Chen walked down from the stage. Before he had walked far, he suddenly heard a voice: "Wu Chen."

Wu Chen turned around and saw that it was a young man in his twenties who was calling out to him. He knew this person, his name was Zhang Jun, and was from the Zhang Family with Yunfeng City, and was one of the few participants in the Yunfeng City.

"So it's really you. I even thought I was mistaken."

Seeing Wu Chen, Zhang Jun quickly walked over. The other party was the most talented demon-level character in their Yunfeng City, and defeating the Sixth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage with his cultivation at the Qingyang City level had saved them some face at the Yunfeng City.

Wu Chen could tell that this Zhang Jun in front of him had made some progress in his cultivation, and had broken through the Second Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage. Without him, he would be considered the number one person in their Yunfeng City younger generation.

"I'm doing very well. You drew lots, right? What number did you draw?"

Wu Chen said: "Four groups, twelve."

"Fourth group, twelfth. Wow, you're too lucky. You know, the fourth group is the safest group. It's the easiest to get promoted."

Zhang Jun could not help but feel envious. He had drawn 18 groups, and this group had 3 people who were in the top 50. Among the 20 groups, the difficulty was above average.

Wu Chen shrugged. To him, no matter which group, it would be easy for him to advance.

"Oh right, Wu Chen, what's your cultivation level now?"

Back then when he met Wu Chen in Qingyang City, his cultivation was at the Second Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, and with his innate talent, after so much time had passed, his cultivation would definitely have grown by leaps and bounds, reaching the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, or even the Fifth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage.

"Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage."

"Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, this is indeed not bad."

Zhang Jun nodded his head, then suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Wu Chen, as if he had never seen Wu Chen before.

"What did you say? Spiritual Rotation Stage … Nine... "The Nine Heavens."

Wu Chen laughed indifferently, at the time of Tianhua City, not only did he succeed in cultivating the Imperishable Gilded Body Technique's Second Stage, he also succeeded in raising his cultivation to the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage.

"Too terrifying."

Zhang Jun sucked in a deep breath. It had only been two months, and he had already broken through from the Second Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage to the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage.

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders, Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, in his eyes, was nothing.

Walking out of the Hidden Dragon Rank plaza, not long after, Wu Chen discovered that many people were gathered there, the majority of them were young people, they were all looking at the center of the golden monument that was shining brightly, without blinking an eye.

"Golden monument."

Wu Chen wasn't unfamiliar with the golden monument, he had once seen it when he was in the Tianhua City. Moreover, he had tested it before, and directly squeezed into the top ten.

After sweeping a glance, this golden tablet was clearly much larger than the one from Tianhua City. The amount of people it could hold was also much greater, reaching a total of a thousand people.

Moreover, this golden monument's calculation method was slightly different from the Tianhua City's golden monument. This golden tablet injected one's power directly into it, and if one had enough power, they could enter the top one thousand, which would then display a number, and that number would be the cultivator's ranking.
