Chapter 343 The Competition Begins

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the competition opened. This Xingchen competition was no less grand and magnificent than the Yuhua Luoyun competition.

The gongs and drums were blaring, the firecrackers were blasting, there were huge crowds of people, and monsters were everywhere.

Miao Kaijie and Xia Wule were very excited as they saw such a scene for the first time. They ran around the street, looking at the monsters flying across the sky from time to time, with smiles as if engraved on their faces.

At the last moment, Xia Wule finally calmed down and gave several instructions to Qin Xiao and others with a serious face.

Most of the events in this competition are held in the mustard seed fragment, which does not require a large space, but the venue is still very large. In the center is a huge mustard seed fragment suspended in the air, and four huge rectangular glass lenses are printed on the back and above, which can receive the projections of all the projection stones in the mustard seed fragment.

In order to fully influence this competition, tens of thousands of projection stones were placed. The entire mustard fragment had no blind spots, and every move of the people inside would be projected onto the glass mirror.

According to the organizers, this time they will use memory fragments, which will contain many unprecedented monsters and may also cause many inexplicable phenomena, all of which will pose a threat to the lives of the contestants, so be careful.

"Xingchen invested a lot of money this time, but this first round was too chaotic."

The woman in green is dressed simply and pure, just like the green that adorns the scenery, and like the spring breeze blowing on your face, fresh and unworldly.

The woman looked at the bustling crowd around her and felt a little distressed.

If Xia Wu Liao and Chen Mo were here at this time, they would be able to recognize her as the woman they met by chance at that time.

Suddenly, someone patted the woman's back twice. She paused, then turned around abruptly. Seeing that it was someone she knew, she released the Yuan Qi in her hand.

"Qin Xiuyun? Why are you here?"

The woman raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"...What do you think?" Qin Xiuyun, dressed in formal attire, said helplessly, "Three of our four children are here, so naturally I want to come and see them."

The woman chuckled twice: "So how did you decide on your seat?"

"We booked a private room... Come on." Qin Xiuyun knew the seats she had reserved weren't ideal, and immediately said, "It's more than enough for two people."

"Then I won't be polite." The woman said with a smile.

Qin Xiuyun smiled and walked with her to the reserved viewing room: "Where is Mo Jian?"

"Him? He's busy at home." Ye Ningzhi waved her hand, "But I think I can take a picture to show him how handsome our boy is."

"That's good." Qin Xiuyun smiled.

Ye Ningzhi seemed to sense something and her eyes turned slightly: "There are quite a few people coming to this competition."

"Indeed." Qin Xiuyun knew what she was referring to. "Even the leader of the Xuantian Sect, who is always elusive, has come."

"More than that." Ye Ningzhi tilted her head slightly, "The two from Qin Sect are here too."

"I looked at the list of participants for this competition, and his children are on it. They're probably just like you and me."

Arriving at the reserved private room, Ye Ningzhi sat down on the sofa closest to the transparent glass, looking at the crowded crowd in the room and then at the projection in the room.

Each private room will have a projection of varying sizes, and of course you can also choose to view the center of the venue through the glass.

"I haven't told my kid I'm here yet." Ye Ningzhi smiled, "I don't know what these two brats are busy with. They don't even know there's no news about his mother."

"I guess he's busy with the competition." Qin Xiuyun expressed his understanding. "My child hasn't contacted me for over a month."

Ye Ningzhi smiled and looked towards the field: "By the way, I haven't seen Han Yu for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing now."

Qin Xiuyun was a little surprised: "Oh?"

"Alas... that child has his own ideas and doesn't miss home." Ye Ningzhi seemed a little disappointed, but still managed to smile, "But it would be good for him to gain more experience."

Qin Xiuyun wanted to say something else, but thinking about his own situation, he shut up.

Qin Xiao hasn't been home for more than five years.

Qin Xiuyun looked at the field, trying to find a familiar figure.

"Speaking of this, has the time been set for the first round?" Ye Ningzhi asked.

"I don't know, but didn't Lei Ting do something similar once?" Qin Xiuyun glanced at her. "That fight lasted for seven days."

"...Seven days?!" Ye Ningzhi frowned, then thought for a moment, "Okay, there are so many people after all."

"Besides, this mustard seed fragment is very large, and everyone is scattered, so it must be very difficult."

"……yes."

The two chatted casually and unknowingly entered the introduction session.

Before the first round of the competition, each team will select a representative to draw the order of entry, but the location of entering the fragment is random and will not have much impact.

Miao Kaijie strongly suggested that the lucky draw be allowed. After a long moment of staring at each other, they decided to let Qin Xiao go.

Qin Xiao was extremely puzzled. Before going on stage, he turned back and stared at Mo Hanyu who was smiling brightly at him.

Mo Hanyu was still wearing his half-mask, with a bunch of braids hanging loosely on his shoulders. There was a smile on his ordinary lips, his eyes were curved, and he was cheering him on.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao went on stage and drew the result according to the instructions of the referee, which was a fairly large number.

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked the referee tentatively: "This..."

"The last one." The referee looked straight ahead.

Qin Xiao: ...

"...This is one in a hundred lucky hands."

Qin Xiao stepped down, and Miao Kaijie gave him a thumbs-up.

Qin Xiao: ...

Mo Hanyu couldn't help laughing, but when he saw Qin Xiao looking at him, he quickly restrained himself. With an expression that couldn't help but laugh, he nodded and said passionately, "This is really good luck. Look at so many teams, first place is so precious!"

Qin Xiao: ...

Chen Mo said quietly, "Why do I feel like you are mocking him?"

Mo Hanyu: ...

Qin Xiao glanced at Chen Mo.

Miao Kaijie was almost laughing like crazy.

Mo Hanyu: "Why are you talking so much at this time?!"

Seeing Qin Xiao looking at him gloomily, Mo Hanyu hurriedly explained: "Xiao, listen to me, I, I chuckled - I definitely didn't mean that! - Haha..."

Mo Hanyu finally couldn't help but bent down, held Qin Xiao's shoulders, covered his face and laughed, his shoulders shaking constantly.

"Sorry……"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao pushed him away in annoyance, but was immediately stuck to him again.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Mo Hanyu smiled and hugged him, rubbing his head. "Don't be angry, it's not a big deal."

Qin Xiao glanced at him and sneered.

Mo Hanyu smiled and hung loosely on Qin Xiao, with her chin resting on one side of her shoulder, rubbing her head against him constantly.

"...That's almost it."

Seeing that Miao Kaijie and Chen Mo's eyes were becoming increasingly strange, Qin Xiao pulled him twice and gestured.

Mo Hanyu glanced at the two of them and continued to rub his head affectionately: "They are just envious, don't worry about it."

Miao Kaijie: ...

Chen Mo: ...

Qin Xiao laughed and pushed him lightly.

Mo Hanyu glanced at the two of them again, decided to quit while he was ahead, and stood up with a snort of laughter.

"Then we'll be the last ones in." Miao Kaijie scratched his chin, "It's still a long time, right?"

"The drawing is complete." Qin Xiao glanced at the field. All teams had finished drawing, and the distributed jade cards were in their hands.

The competition organizers announced the rules. The first rule was that this competition was a life-or-death contest, but killing was to be avoided as much as possible. The second rule was that the jade tokens distributed were Qi instruments, and that crushing them would automatically constitute a surrender and disintegrate into fragments. The third rule...

Apart from the first two points, the rest of the text consisted of a series of taboos and a declaration emphasizing the importance of positive energy in competition. Qin Xiao nearly fell asleep.

After the referee announced the rules of the competition, the Crown Prince Xingchen announced the official start of the competition on behalf of the Emperor.

The entire arena was like a boiling oil pan. Qin Xiao's head hurt a little from the noise, and he couldn't help but look at Xia Wu and the others.

The organizers assigned each team a dedicated viewing area, allowing them to clearly see what was happening without having to crowd in with the crowd. Xia Wu and the others waved to Qin Xiao and the others, cheering them on.

Miao Kaijie's eyes lit up and he swung it back with all his might, a heartless smile on his face.

"God bless you, God bless you..."

Lan Huaiqiu clasped his hands together and muttered, "Everything must be alright—Ouch!"

Lan Huaiqiu held his head and looked at the culprit in astonishment.

"Don't say such discouraging things." Tian Miao looked at her seriously, "Shouldn't you wish them a successful start?"

"Who... who taught you this?" Lan Huaiqiu rubbed his head and said angrily.

"Wu Jian." Tian Miao said with a smile.

"Who is that Wu Jian...?" Lan Huaiqiu had heard the name "Wu Jian" from his mouth more than once, but had never seen the real person.

"he!"

Tian Miao pointed. Lan Huaiqiu looked over and saw a young man appear on the projection screen. The tournament commentator also introduced him to the audience.

"——Hua Wujian, upper level of Xuan realm."

Lan Huaiqiu was stunned, looking at the expressionless boy on the projection, and tilted his head.

The commentator was still introducing Hua Wujian. Lan Huaiqiu looked at him, his expression slightly grim as he listened to his so-called methods.

You can tell at first glance that Hua Wujian is a man with deep thoughts!

How did they become friends?!

Lan Huaiqiu suspected that Tian Miao had been cheated.

On this side, Qin Xiao was also stunned when he heard the name. He looked towards the field and happened to meet Hua Wujian's eyes.

Qingyi glanced at him with a half-smile, then looked away.

Qin Xiao had a bad feeling for some reason.
