Chapter 991 From Dongqiu
"Martial arts field."
Ji Shuang explained: "Each of the eighteen states in the Divine Fire Empire has six quotas, three people are competing for the Heaven Ranking, and three people are competing for the Earth Ranking. I am taking you to meet them now."
"All right!"
Lu Yun nodded and followed Ji Shuang all the way to the martial arts field.
Wu Chang was explaining things, and in front of him, five people were standing upright, all of them looking proud and high-spirited.
obviously.
The five of them were the ones who were going to attend the imperial banquet together to compete for the top spot.
Three of them are over 25 years old, and they are competing for the Heaven Ranking. The other two are under 25 years old, and they are competing for the Earth Ranking.
The Heaven and Earth Lists are divided into groups based on the age of twenty-five.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Ji Shuang arrive, the five people bowed slightly, with a hint of pride between their brows.
Ji Shuang nodded slightly, glanced at Lu Yun, and introduced him with a smile: "This is Song Ba, from Qingfeng Sect, a first-class sect in Qingzhou. Last year, he participated in the competition for the Earth Ranking and achieved the sixth place. Today, he is going to participate in the competition for the Heaven Ranking."
The person that Ji Shuang introduced first was about 25 meters tall and had a strong physique. As for his age, it had already been revealed in Ji Shuang's introduction just now—he just turned today.
The key is.
This Song Ba, who was not yet 25 years old last year, ranked sixth on the Earth Ranking when he attended the Emperor's Banquet. Now that he is 25 years old, he can immediately represent Qingzhou to attend the Emperor's Banquet to compete for a seat on the Heaven Ranking. This means that last year, he was already strong enough to compete for the Heaven Ranking, but was just limited by age.
This indirectly shows how powerful Song Ba is.
Lu Yun was not a cold-faced and heartless person. Seeing Song Ba's friendly look, he returned the greeting with courtesy, "Nice to meet you!"
Then, Ji Shuang introduced four other people to Lu Yun. The others were normal except for one named Yi Zichen, who seemed to have a look of dislike towards Lu Yun.
Lu Yun could sense it, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
There are too many people in this world who are jealous of my appearance. Even though I have used the art of shape-changing to change my appearance a little, my handsome appearance is still there and I can't get uglier no matter how hard I try.
Lu Yun just thought that Yi Zichen was jealous of his appearance.
because.
This guy really doesn't look that good!
After Ji Shuang introduced all five people, when it was Lu Yun's turn, she simply said, "Xu Que, from Dongqiu."
Dongqiu?
Lu Yun looked at Ji Shuang in surprise, and soon realized that Ji Shuang had made up a place name for him. But what Lu Yun didn't know was that this Dongqiu really existed.
It is also a secret place.
Moreover, it is a secret realm that is even more desolate than Kunlun. Everywhere you look, it is just wasteland, and there are hardly any human figures to be seen.
To put it bluntly, Kunlun is a secret place where even dogs cry when they see it, and Dongqiu is a place where dung beetles will starve to death when they go there.
Therefore, when the word "Dongqiu" came out, everyone in the martial arts field showed surprise on their faces.
Immediately.
Song Ba was the first to speak: "Brother Xu Que is really amazing. He was born in such a place, but he was able to make it. I really admire him."
His words did not mean to be discriminatory, but more to be incredible.
The Divine Fire Emperor Banquet is a major event that has attracted national attention. The King of Qingzhou would certainly not send anyone there casually to embarrass himself. The reason why he chose Xu Que must be because Xu Que has some outstanding qualities.
The five people present were all born into wealthy families, except Xu Que, who rose from the wasteland, so it was natural for him to be admired.
But some people hold a different attitude.
Yi Zichen said in a bad tone, "Your Majesty, I doubt the strength of this Mr. Xu."
