Li Wu Shuang, Ling Ao and Yi Qing Zi. Each of the four big sects had their own representatives, and these four disciples were the most obvious ones. If nothing special happened then the top 4 spots would go to these 4 disciples.Jiang Chen roughly counted in his head. The Bck Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect and Burning Sky Pavilion each had nearly 200 disciples each partic.i.p.ating today. The Valley of Happiness had less , with about 70-80 of them.Although the Qi Province was the smallest province on the Eastern Continent, it was still a huge and diverse nd, with geniuses everywhere. In each of these big sects, there were more than ten thousand disciples, and most of them were outer circle disciples at the Mortal Core realm. Of those who came to partic.i.p.ate in this event, many of them were only here to gain experience. A compet.i.tion with more than 700 partic.i.p.ants, and only 30 of them being able to advance to the second round… The rate of elimination was just too high.All the disciples from the four big sects were walking towards the center of the square in their own groups. They all stopped next to the Stairway to Heaven.Boom! Boom! Boom! …The beating of war drums was getting more rapid, many people were holding their breath. They all knew that four Late Heavenly Core warriors were about to appear on top of the Stairway to Heaven and release their auras.Four figures flew in like meteors from four different directions and nded on top of the Stairway to Heaven. When the crowds saw their faces they almost jumped up from the ground, they were startled with their mouths wide open.Because, these for people were not like those from the previous year. Last year they were all elders from the four big sects. The four people on top of the Stairway to Heaven were three men and a woman, and they were all young.“Heavens! It’s them who is responsible for handling the a.s.sessment this year?!”“d.a.m.n, aren’t these the top 4 from the inner circle compet.i.tion? Guan Yi Yun from the Bck Sect, Liang Xiao from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Bai Hua Die from the Valley of Happiness… Even Nan Bei Chao from the Burning Sky Pavilion is here!”“That’s Nan Bei Chao? he is so young! He really is a rare genius! Being able to witness their faces with my own eyes really made the trip here worth it!”…………With the arrival of the four big geniuses, the scene immediately got heated. There were a lot of people among the crowd who had missed the inner circle compet.i.tion, and felt disappointed for not being able to witness the dark horse themselves. But, they never expected that they would have a chance to see him in person today.Jiang Chen’s vision stopped at the top of the Stairway to Heaven as well. The charm of these four geniuses was really extraordinary. Guan Yi Yun and Liang Xiao could be considered be normal. However, Nan Bei Chao who was wearing a golden robe, with his long blonde hair waving in the wind, and his sharp facial features making him look mighty, unleashed the aura of a superior person. Even Jiang Chen who was once the greatest Saint in the world couldn’t help but nod his head in approval.“This man is talented. Compared to those geniuses in the Divine Continent, he is not inferior to them in the least. I didn’t expect this small Qi Province to have such a man!”Jiang Chen thought to himself. The natural energies automatically surrounded Nan Bei Chao, this clearly showed that he was someone with a great destiny. By comparison, Guan Yi Yun and the other two were just ordinary.An upward curve appeared on Jiang Chen’s lips. His hot blood started boiling. Initially he had no interest in the Qi Province, but he had never expected to meet someone like Nan Bei Chao. This instantly ignited Jiang Chen’s fighting spirit.Nan Bei Chao stood in the middle of the Stairway to Heaven’s top; obviously, this group was being led by him. He casually raised his hand, then the beating of the war drums immediately stopped.“I won’t expin the rules for the first round. As usual, we only need the top 30. As for the rewards for this year’s compet.i.tion, I won’t announce it now. Let’s begin.”Nan Bei Chao said casually as if he was a king giving out an order, giving off a feeling of someone who can’t be reached.
