Xu Nian stepped onto the Battle Platform, his figure quickly floating down to land.
He didn't care about the mockery around him.
Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile, but now he had become so high-profile.
"Hey, brother, which faction are you from?"
Xu Nian flew to a corner of the Battle Platform.
A young man beside him chuckled.
Xu Nian glanced at the young man and found that his cultivation was only at the Late-stage Zifu level.
He could say that, compared to ordinary Zifu Middle-stage cultivators, there was no difference.
In the end, they would all be eliminated.
But Xu Nian was curious about this guy's initiative to greet him.
"Heavenly Court, what's the matter?" Xu Nian responded with a smile.
"Heavenly Court? Why does this name sound so familiar?" The young man muttered.
"Don't think too much, very few people know about the Heavenly Court faction." Xu Nian interrupted with a smile.
The young man also nodded, thinking that Heavenly Court might be some small faction.
Otherwise, how could he have never heard of a faction from Tianlan Continent?
"It doesn't matter, brother, I'm from Cloud Sky Sect. I joined this Holy Scripture not to qualify for the Sword King Pavilion inheritance and definitely not for some damned trial," the young man hurriedly said to Xu Nian.
"Then what is it for?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"Come on, brother, aren't you just like us, here for Han Xiaoxiao and Xie Baishi? Do you really want to compete for the Sanjia slots?" The young man said disdainfully.
Xu Nian suddenly smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
Only then did he remember that he was just a Zifu Middle-stage level contestant in the eyes of others.
With such strength, he would only be at the bottom.
"I'm just curious and came to take a look. But you can just watch Han Xiaoxiao and Xie Baishi on the stands. Why come up here?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"You don't know? Of course, it's to have a chance to face Han Xiaoxiao and Xie Baishi. Even if you lose, just having the opportunity to spar with these two peerless beauties is something to show off. If you could have some physical contact with them, it would be worth it even if you get injured!" The young man said excitedly.
His eyes were filled with excitement and longing.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.
Originally, Han Xiaoxiao and Xie Baishi were no more than beautiful women.
But after being listed on the Rouge List, everything changed.
They suddenly became the most admired women by all the men in the continent.
This invisibly made their charm even greater and stirred the desire in men to conquer them.
So these people, like fish swimming upstream, wouldn't spare any cost just to get close to them.
Xu Nian himself had no thoughts on this.
In his eyes, Xie Baishi was no different from a brothel woman.
As for Han Xiaoxiao, Xu Nian had already spent a long time with her.
He even hand-taught her swordsmanship.
Naturally, he couldn't worship her.
"Brother, how about it? Are you tempted too? Let me tell you, the cultivators below the Cave Void Realm are almost all up here for this purpose. Otherwise, who would come up here to seek abuse?" The young man said to Xu Nian.
"What if you don't meet those two and instead encounter other powerful people?" Xu Nian continued to ask.
"Surrender!" The young man replied.
Xu Nian laughed instantly upon hearing this.
These guys were really cunning.
For them, the Lingxi Sect's Holy Scripture was just an opportunity to get close to their goddesses.
I wonder if the Bai Xi Sword Immortal would be still alive if he knew this.
"Everyone, since we're almost done, let's begin. The Great Elder will be the judge, and opponents will be determined by drawing lots. The matching numbers will decide the pairs, and the numbers also indicate the sequence of appearances," Yun Qingyang said.
This lottery method was the least fair and the most fair method.
All opponents were determined by luck.
"Alright, without further ado, let's begin now!" Yun Qingyang said.
As he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve.
Suddenly, countless leaves floated down from the sky.
Everyone around him used their True Essence to absorb the leaves.
They all hoped to draw an opponent who wasn't too strong so they could advance further.
Xu Nian didn't care and casually grabbed a leaf floating in front of him.
The number on it was actually sixty-two.
"Last one?" Xu Nian showed a surprised expression.
He just noticed that there were one hundred twenty-four people in total.
Since he drew number sixty-two, it meant he would be the last to debut.
"Interesting, let's see who my opponent will be!" Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Uh, I'm number ten, meaning I'm the tenth to debut. Brother, what's your number?" The overly familiar young man asked as he approached Xu Nian.
Xu Nian directly showed him his number.
"Sixty-two, meaning you're the last to debut? Brother, you have such bad luck, you'll have to wait forever!" The young man said surprisedly.
Xu Nian smiled and said, "Who said being late is bad? Maybe I'll meet Han Xiaoxiao or Xie Baishi."
"True. I don't know who my opponent will be, but if I could meet them, it would be worth it even if I get heavily injured." The young man said excitedly.
"Everyone, since you've all drawn your numbers, let's start the competition. Those who drew number one remain; everyone else return to the stands and wait," Yun Qingyang said.
With these words, everyone around him quickly left the Battle Platform.
Xu Nian naturally returned to Bu Keng by their side.
The platform instantly had only two people left.
The sight of these two surprised the people around.
"No way! The first match is already this intense?"
Everyone around showed shocked expressions.
Xu Nian also revealed a trace of surprise and couldn't help but look at Zhang Lin at the side.
Zhang Lin frowned, eyes filled with tension.
Yes, the remaining ones were Zhang Lin's elder brother Zhang Yan.
And his opponent was Duan Tianhai from the Duan Family.
Two individuals who had been compared since childhood.
Now, they finally stood on the battle platform.
No one expected this fateful rivalry to come so soon.
"Boss, how confident do you think my brother is?" Zhang Lin suddenly turned to Xu Nian and asked.
Xu Nian was taken aback, looking at Zhang Lin.
He saw the seriousness on his face, and instinctively frowned.
Spitting out two words: "Ten percent!"
