The "arena" was actually a large open area with several platforms spread out. At the top of this open area was a kind of transparent sphere floating smoothly in the air. There were bleachers made of a strange material that seemed to shine like a metallic material, with a more perceptive look you could see the subtle transparent barrier that protected the bleachers.
There were 5 platforms scattered in the open area, surrounded by a large grandstand, behind the stands were booths where people of high rank who would like to watch the performances of the battle arena would be.
Zemin Yan and his group were taken to a part of the open area of this battle arena, where the other novice disciples were gathered. In front of the more than 100 novices disciples, there was a huge box made of cold white jade.
"Now that everyone is here, I can start with the explanation. Well, now the draw will start to place the order that each one will go up on stage to fight the battle puppets "said a disciple wearing purple garments and the belt with the ornament of the heron with open wings, which it is the symbol of the core disciples.
"I am your senior disciple, Jiang Lian. You must call me senior brother Jiang. Now everyone must approach this jade box and get their hands on it. Put some Qi energy in that box and then a ball with the number of each one will be expelled from the box "said Jiang Lian excitedly, while the inner disciples of the sect helped to organize the novice disciples so that everyone can get their hands on its time.
Jiang Lian was different from Yun San who always seemed in a bad mood, he was also different from Hong Yu who always acted kindly. He was different from Qi Meiying who was quite cold, he was also different from Ming On, who looked like a nice chubby.
Jiang Lian was a person who was always excited, he was like a whirlwind and often created problems wherever he went.
Of course, he was now behaved not to throw the sect's face in the mud, but he was quite excited to see these innocent junior disciples, he hoped to see something interesting since he was quite bored.
"Senior Brother Jiang, people who have not learned to manifest Qi outside their bodies, how should we act?" Zemin Yan asked cautiously.
Zemin Yan knew how to manipulate his Qi, he even knew how to manipulate the sacred energy and the energy of his soul, but he had to pretend he didn't know. Besides, that doesn't mean that Chu Yue knew how to do that, she was his friend, at the very least he should ask about it.
"Well ... This is going to get a little complicated ..." Jiang Lian said scratching his head. It is not that he had forgotten that there were people who came from the mountains and small villages in this group, but Elder Han!
"Okay, just make a small matrix on the left side of the box. So everyone who can't deal with Qi should go to the left side "said Qi Meiying with her cold face and sharp eyes.
"Thank you, big sister Qi," said Jiang Lian with a little shy smile. He should have known that Elder Han was not going to make this jade box fail. With older sister Qi there, there were no problems that could not be solved by her matrices!
Yes, Qi Meiying was not only a superb swordsman but also a secondary Path to the Dao, the Dao of the Enchanted Matrices.
The Matrix Dao is divided into two paths, the Enchanted Matrix Path, and the Magic Matrix Path. The Enchanted Matrix are matrices that allow you to perform actions that normally would not be possible, such as strengthening items, improving performance and adding new functions.
As for the Magic Matrix path, this is an even more difficult path as it can create something out of nothing, as is the case with Teleportation Matrices and Battle Matrices.
Qi Meiying is a genius of the Enchanted Matrices, there is nothing she cannot modify or improve just with her work tools (brushes, chisels, magic beast blood, hammer ...).
"So everyone who can't use Qi, you side with big sister Qi. Those who can use Qi should be on my side. Try not to be bold and challenge your own ability not to humble yourself! "Jiang Lian said looking at the new disciples with sharp eyes.
Zemin Yan, Chu Yue, Yi Yuga, Quian Dalai, Xiong Jia, and Wen Jie went to the left side, followed by Zhong Liang, who held the little black tiger, the little white dog and had a flashy jewel on his neck.
Wang Tai-Yang, Shou Zuo, Bai Li, Huang Deshi, and Hu Dewei went to Jiang Lian's side, after all, both were at the level of the Realms Foundation, it would be strange that until now they had not learned to use Qi outside their body.
Bohai Xiulan, Zhie Quan and the other friends also went to Jiang Lian's side, as they came from prominent families it was not unusual for them to know how to use Qi outside their bodies. Each of these people is considered a genius in their families, even Lee Fu, who is only a servant, he also already uses Qi outside his body.
What made Bohai Xiulan despise Zemin Yan and his friends in his heart. Of course, he didn't understand that the reason he was "better" than Zemin Yan was just that his family is rich and has power in the field of martial cultivation.
Well, Bohai Xiulan is a child, even though he has been exposed to some adult things in his life, but he still doesn't quite understand how the unfair world worked.
Bohai Xiulan was not the only one who scoffed and smirked at the novice disciples who did not know how to manipulate Qi. It is worth mentioning that the majority who went to Jiang Lian's side, these people were from at least Baron families, that is, all from influential families who do not need to fight day by day to survive. The rest of the disciples in this group belonged to the sons of great merchants.
In other words, the people who made fun of Zemin Yan's group were people who had all the time available to train, since they didn't have to fight to survive as is the case with Zemin Yan, Yi Yuga, and Xiong Jia.
The other disciples who went with Qi Meiying also had situations similar to Zemin Yan or the situation of Wen Jie, who had to hunt to contribute to his family or village.
Of course, for rich people, this was difficult to understand or empathize with.
"Can I use the black dragon's mantra here?" Zemin Yan thought as he felt the looks of mockery focused on his group.
"Papa! Mother is strange! He's having M thoughts again! "Sying yelped at Zhong Liang. Obviously, Zhong Liang did not understand what the cute little white dog meant by that.
"Who is your mother? Clearly I should be the father! "Zemin Yan said through the soul connection with Sying.
"It can't be, the father is clearly Pope Zhong! You can only accept the fact that you are my mother! "Said Sying a little mocking his young master, who always thought of strange things.
"Why should I accept to be your mother! I am your young master! "Zemin Yan protested quickly. He couldn't even be the father or mother, he was too young for that.
"Do you think Zhong Liang can be a mother?" Sying asked in a defiant tone.
Zemin Yan: (...)
Well, Sying was right, the older brother Liang cannot be a mother!
Zemin Yan ignored his cheeky little white dog since this discussion would not win him so easily. He also decided not to cultivate with the black dragon mantra, after all, there were more Aurore Core disciples around than before, he could be caught in the act observing all this negative energy.
What would he explain if he was caught doing this?
So he better avoid doing something too flashy now.
