After the ten arena combat platforms were all set up, Patriarch Qian continued, "As you have all seen, these ten arena combat platforms are divided into ten combat zones."
"Each combat zone has a huge white platform; this is the main platform of the ten great arena combats, and those who previously seized the Yang Profound Bell will enter this main platform!"
"The nine smaller platforms that remain are the nine auxiliary platforms for each combat zone, and those who seized the Yin Xuanling will enter the auxiliary platforms."
"The second round of competition is divided into two types of battles: 'Ancestral Land Qualification Battle' and 'Top Ten Selection Battle'."
"The Ancestral Land Qualification Battle takes place on the nine auxiliary platforms within each combat zone, with nine people fighting each other until the two strongest among the nine are decided. The two strongest of the auxiliary platforms in each combat zone, along with one main platform victor, making three people in total.
With ten combat zones, that makes thirty people in all who will finally enter the Ancestral Land to participate in the exploration of the Ancestral Ground Secret Realm!"
As soon as Patriarch Qian's voice fell, the one hundred youngsters participating in the second round and the clan members of the three tribes all became agitated.
Listening to Patriarch Qian, it was clear that in the second round of the competition, the thirty people who would enter the Ancestral Ground Secret Realm were to be directly selected.
Moreover, according to this rule, the ten people in the ten main platform positions, unlike the nine people in the auxiliary platforms who still had to fight each other to determine the strongest two, the ten main platform holders seemed to have already been included in the list of thirty, directly obtaining the qualification to enter the Ancestral Land!
Ye Chen and Bai Xiaodie, among others who had obtained the white Yang Profound Bell, exchanged glances, with excitement in their eyes.
They, the ten of them, had seized the Yang Profound Bell and entered the main platform, which already meant that they could enter the Ancestral Land!
Everyone understood, no wonder that during the first round of competition, Patriarch Ye said that one must seize the Yang Profound Bell if possible. It turned out there were such great benefits in seizing the Yang Profound Bell!
However, obtaining the Yang Profound Bell had always been much more difficult than obtaining the Yin Xuanling, and for these ten who had seized the Yang Profound Bell, entering the top thirty was effortless!
Obtaining the qualification to enter the Ancestral Land was well-deserved.
"What I just explained are the rules for the 'Ancestral Land Qualification Battle'."
Patriarch Qian pressed the air with his palm, quelling the discussions in the venue, and continued, "After the thirty are selected for the Ancestral Land Qualification Battle, the 'Top Ten Selection Battle' will begin."
"Before the competition of the three tribes began, Patriarch Bai also stated that the top ten will receive special rewards when entering the Ancestral Land, so, of course, the top ten must be selected."
"The purpose of this Top Ten Selection Battle is to select the top ten!"
"In each combat zone, the two auxiliary platform victors who win the 'Ancestral Land Qualification Battle' will have the opportunity to challenge the main platform. Eventually, the strongest in each combat zone will be the first of that combat zone."
"The ones who rank first in these ten combat zones will be the final top ten of this competition among the three tribes, also the final ten contestants of the second round 'Top Ten Selection Battle'!"
"After these ten contestants are determined, they will enter the final round of the three tribes' competition, the third round 'Top Ten Ranking Battle'!"
At this point, Patriarch Qian looked at the youngsters in the arena, focusing mainly on the ten main platform holders like Ye Chen and Bai Xiaodie.
Soon after, everyone positioned themselves.
The observing members of the three clans gathered around the ten Combat Zones.
Standing atop the vast white main arena of the first Combat Zone, Ye Chen surveyed the field.
He noticed that next to him, in the main contestant position of the second Combat Zone, was none other than Bai Xiaodie.
At this time, Bai Xiaodie, seeing Ye Chen's examining gaze, smiled and nodded gently towards him.
Ye Chen then looked towards the other arenas and saw Bai Xiaodong currently in the deputy position of the seventh, while Qian Yun was in the deputy position of the ninth.
Just as Ye Chen was assessing the situation, a young girl's voice suddenly called out from below the first Combat Zone.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Following the sound, Ye Chen saw the young girl Tao'er, along with his father and mother, squeezed into the crowd observing the first Combat Zone.
"Dad, Mom, Tao'er!"
Ye Chen also greeted the three of them.
"Qian Feng, I never expected that both of us would enter the third Combat Zone!"
"Heavens, the principal contestant of our Combat Zone is Qian Ming, it's over, there's no hope of taking first place in this Zone and advancing into the top ten."
"Bai Xiaodie, Bai Xiaodie is in our Combat Zone!"
"Is that... Ye Chen from the first round with the exceptional martial skills? He is right there in the primary position of our first Combat Zone. Could his strength be as formidable as his technique? Only by advancing into the deputy finals of the Combat Zone can we confront him!"
Once all were positioned, they began to appraise their soon-to-be opponents and the principal contestants of their respective arenas, and waves of exclamations and discussions echoed in all directions.
"Let's begin the second round of the first match of the 'Ancestral Land Qualification Battle'!"
Accompanying Patriarch Qian's voice, all the arenas across the ten Combat Zones commenced their deputy combat exchanges!
Standing on the largest and highest white arena in the first Combat Zone, Ye Chen looked down.
At this time, the first Combat Zone's earliest match was between two deputy contestants – one was a young man wielding an iron rod, the other a young woman holding twin blades.
Ye Chen did not need to take action in this first "Ancestral Land Qualification Battle." He simply watched the combatants, preparing to assess the strength of the younger generation from the three great clans.
