Xu Taiping and his men stood in front of the central hall, surrounded by thousands of people.

The Earth Board's ranking was even earlier than the Heaven Board's, and it was not as exciting as the Heaven Board's. The reason it was arranged like this was to prevent everyone from leaving the stage too soon after they finished reading the rankings.

The rankings of the Heavenly Rankings would be held here in a short while. Now that everyone had come to see the rankings of the Earthly Rankings, they would have a good seat as well. After the end of the rankings, the Heavenly Rankings would begin.

This morning, the Heavenly Rankings had already begun their performance. There were only ten Heavenly Rankings challengers left, as well as the top ten of the Heavenly Rankings.

"Do you think Zhao Qingshan will appear later?" Someone beside Xu Taiping whispered.

"Impossible, Zhao Qingshan would never appear in the ranking competitions of the Earth Board. He would only appear during the ranking battles of the Heavenly Rankings!" Someone said.

"What a pity, I still want to show off in front of him!" Someone sighed.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed in front of them and screamed, "Look, Zhao Qingshan!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall and indifferent figure walk out from the center of the hall.

This person was carrying a long sword. He wore a green robe and had a very handsome face. Although he wasn't handsome in the traditional sense, he still gave people a very comfortable feeling.

This person was none other than Zhao Qingshan!

Xu Taiping had seen it once, and had even fought with Zhao Qingshan for a short while, so he had a very deep impression of him.

This was the first time since Xu Taiping had stepped into the path of cultivation that he felt that his opponent was unable to defeat him.

To a killer, this kind of feeling was very scary, because it meant that if you wanted to kill that person, you had to put in a lot of effort. However, Xu Taiping couldn't control the helplessness in his heart.

Even now, when Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Qingshan, he still felt a sense of awe.

The five permanent members of the Sect Leader followed behind Zhao Qingshan.

"Why would the president want to see the rankings of the Earth Board this time?" Zhang Yuande walked as he asked Yu Guan Hong, the leader of the Kongtong Sect, in a low voice.

"How would I know? He's never seen the Earth Board before!" Yu Guan Hong shook his head.

Zhang Yuande frowned slightly, their Wudang Sect's goal this time was to make Zhang Bai head the champion, and for this reason, they had already been planning for a long time, but now that Zhao Qingshan had suddenly said that they wanted to look at the Earth Board, it was a little out of their expectations. If Zhao Qingshan was looking at the board, then it would be difficult for them to control the board, and the outsiders might not know about the minute details of the battle, but Zhao Qingshan would definitely be able to see through it.

However, when he thought about how Zhao Qingshan never asked much about the Hua Xia Martial Arts Association, Zhang Yuande felt somewhat at ease. Even if Zhao Qingshan could tell that there was something fishy, he probably wouldn't say it out loud.

Because of Zhao Qingshan's appearance, another chair was placed in the middle of the row.

Zhao Qingshan and the others walked to the front of the chair, while Zhao Qingshan sat in the middle, with Shaolin Temple abbot Wu Chen to Zhao Qingshan's left, and Wudang Sect's Sect Leader Zhang Yuande to Zhao Qingshan's right. Once again, they sat outside of the chair, along with the Emei Sect Grand Master, the Kongtong Sect's Yu Guanhong, and Chen Lingzhu, the Sect Leader of Chen Taiji Fist.

After these five people took their seats, the other members came over and sat down, then Xiao Wuhua walked to the center of the training field and said loudly: "After today's morning and afternoon matches, we have selected twenty young talents from the thousands of people. According to the score, these twenty young talents will go from high to low to challenge the six senior experts sitting in front of everyone.

A round of applause rang out from the audience.

"Tsk, it's like this is some big meeting!" Liu Xu snorted disdainfully. At this moment, Liu Xu still maintained her robust body, looking extremely intrepid.

"The gathering of heroes is held every three years. This is the grand ceremony of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, so you naturally have to pay attention to it. You, who are here for the first time, probably don't understand!" Standing at the side, Zhang Baitao said with a sneer.

Liu Xu looked at Zhang Baikou with a hideous smile and said, "Didn't you suffer enough yesterday?"

"Ha ha!" He knew how powerful Liu Xu was, there was no need for him to start a conflict with her here. In any case, he would definitely become this year's top ranker in the Earth Board.

Zhang Yuande stood in front of everyone and said a lot of nonsense. Under the care and concern of the country and the leaders, the event that happened every three years was getting better and better, and every time, the event was getting more and more grand. Then, he hoped that everyone who participated in the Earth Board Ranking Board would be able to achieve a good result.

After Zhang Yuande finished his speech, Xiao Wuhua spoke again, "This time's top ten rankings will be recorded using the silent method. The scores of all the contestants will be recorded, but it will not be made public.

After saying this, Xiao Wuhua picked up a form and said, "Next, let's invite the top scorer on the Earth Rankings, Zhang Bai Duo, from the Wudang Sect. He has a set of top martial arts techniques, and during the performance competition, he was able to shock everyone.

Zhang Bai waited for Xiao Wuhua to finish his words before walking onto the stage with a smile on his face.

"Is this your nephew?" Zhao Qingshan suddenly asked.

Although Zhao Qingshan did not pay any attention to the surrounding people, as soon as he said those words, Zhang Yuande knew that Zhao Qingshan was asking him.

"Yes, this is my nephew, my fourth brother's child!" Zhang Yuande said.

Zhao Qingshan did not say anything. Instead, he calmly looked at Zhang White-headed.

Zhang Bai walked onto the stage and looked around at everyone present. Finally, his gaze landed on Zhao Qingshan.

"Guild Leader Zhao, you are my idol!" Zhang Baijiao cupped his fist and said to Zhao Qingshan.

Zhao Qingshan faintly smiled and nodded, indicating that he had heard what Zhang Bai said.

"Zhang Bai, you have to choose the opponent you want to challenge!" Xiao Wuhua said.

"The opponent I want to challenge is Sect Leader Yu Guanhong of the Kongtong Sect!" Zhang Bai said.

"Hahaha, boy, you have good eyes. If you choose me, I won't let you regret it!" Yu Guan Hong laughed out loud and stood up, then glanced at Zhang Yuan De.

Zhang Yuande nodded slightly. Yu Guan and Hong smiled as he walked to the martial arts practice field.

This Yu Guang Hong was indeed one of the five great permanent members. His entire demeanor was extraordinary, and after he entered the stage, the aura that belonged especially to those experts made many of the people present raise their eyebrows.

Yu Guanhong looked at Zhang Bai and said, "Even though I'm very close with your seniors, I won't go easy on you!"

"I hope that you can give it your all, Sect Leader Yu!" Zhang Bai said with a smile. His bearing was also extraordinary. He wasn't affected in the slightest by Yu Guanhong's aura.

"Hahaha, making me use my full strength is going to be difficult!" Yu Guan Hong said with a smile.

"Zhang Bai, you have five minutes. Please begin your battle!" As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the training grounds.

"Alright!" Zhang Bai nodded and then faced Yu Guanhong, bowed deeply and said, "Sect Leader Yu, please advise me!"

"Please!" Yu Guang Hong's single foot moved back slightly, his palm facing upwards towards Zhang Bai's head.

Zhang Bai naturally raised his hands and slightly pressed them down. He then held his breath and looked at Yu Guang Hong.

With a beng sound, Zhang White-headed suddenly stomped on the ground and charged towards Yu Guan Hong. At the same time, Yu Guan Hong also rushed towards Zhang White-headed.

The two of them were about the same speed, but Zhang White-headed's figure was even more erratic; it was because he had used the name of Di Yun Zong!

Pah pah pah!

The sound of flesh colliding continuously rang out. The fight between Zhang White-headed and Yu Guang Hong was extremely lively and beautiful.

Everyone in the audience looked at the two of them in shock. They hadn't thought that this white-haired youth was actually so strong. He was actually able to compete with Yu Guanhong from the start!

Time slowly passed. In addition to using TIyun Zong and Eight Trigrams Palm, Zhang Bai also used another ultimate martial art, the Two Elements Four Appearances Punch.

The battle between the two was truly pleasing to the eyes, causing those watching to feel intoxicated.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this show is really well done!" Xu Taiping could not help but exclaim in admiration. Although many people thought that the fight between Yu Guanghong and Zhang Bai was very intense and beautiful, in Xu Taiping's eyes, they had basically been acting. They had practiced their moves together many times already, so they were very familiar with each other's punches and kicks.

Xu Taiping suddenly thought of a very young and popular song.

"I will act as if I don't see it. I am forcing someone who loves you the most to act out …"

In the blink of an eye, two minutes had passed!

Being able to withstand the attacks of one of the five permanent members for two minutes, this was already a rare sight in the Earth Board Ranking Tournament. Moreover, from the looks of the situation on the stage, even though Zhang Bai was somewhat at a disadvantage, it would still take some time for him to become defeated.

The battle between the two continued on for nearly four minutes before Zhang Bai was finally defeated. He was struck in the chest by Yu Guan Hong's palm and was sent flying out of the arena.

Zhang Baijiao jumped up from the ground like a carp, then cupped his fists towards Yu Guanhong and said, "Sect Leader Yu is indeed worthy of being Senior Martial Lin. White-headed admitting defeat!"

Hahaha, Zhang Bai, you are truly amazing! Even some of the people on the Heavenly Rankings might not be able to last this long in my hands, but you managed to last for four minutes. Your strength is truly frightening. Yu Guan Hong said loudly.

The audience burst into cheers and cheers. To the audience, they had seen a completely new scene. Although Zhang Baikou had lost, he had lost without a shred of shame! Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
