Everyone was eager to see the competition and witness the young talents in action.
Representatives from all the major families, sects, and empires had taken their seats in special VIP sections, their eyes scanning the arena as they waited for the competition to begin.
At the center of the stadium, a large stage had been set up. It was a simple platform made of polished jade, its surface etched with elegant symbols.
Standing on the stage was a man dressed in a flowing black robe. He had sharp features and a regal bearing.
His dark hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, and his eyes gleamed with intelligence and authority.
He was an elder of the Xu family, and his name was Xu Yong.
"Welcome, one and all, to the Jingzhong City Competition!" his voice rang out, amplified by formations.
"We're excited to have so many esteemed guests here today, and we're honored to be able to host such a prestigious event.
For the first time, we're seeing representatives from all the major powers and clans come together to compete.
It's an exciting time for the cultivation world, and I know that everyone is eager to see what's in store.
So, without further ado, let the competition begin!"
His words were met with cheers and applause from the crowd, and Xu Elder waited for the noise to die down before continuing.
"This competition will feature 400 participants," he announced.
"Each of them has been chosen by their respective families, sects, or empires, and they represent some of the finest young talents in the world. Let us give them a round of applause."
Once again, the crowd cheered, their enthusiasm building.
Still, we require you to use the ones provided by us as they have their sharpness and power regulated and cannot harm the opponent beyond what is required.
Any violation of these rules will result in immediate disqualification.
In addition, we have sent a total of three judges to each arena so that there will be no accidents and the results can be determined quickly and accurately."
Finally, to make sure that the fights are fair, the competitors will be assigned randomly, and their names will be drawn from a box."
The spectators nodded, and Xu Yong smiled slightly.
"I'm glad to see that everyone is on the same page. Now, let's get started."
He gestured, and a formation flared to life. A moment later, a large box appeared on the stage, its polished wooden surface gleaming in the sunlight.
Xu Yong approached the box, his expression calm and composed. With a dramatic flourish, he opened the lid and reached inside, his hand emerging holding a handful of slips.
He held the slips up for the audience to see, and they gasped, their eyes widening in awe and excitement.
"These slips contain the names of the competitors," Xu Yong announced. "Once I've called a name, the owner of the slip will step forward and face their opponent.
And without further ado, let the Jingzhong City Competition begin!"
He flung the slips into the air, and they fluttered down, dancing gracefully in the breeze.
A hush fell over the crowd as everyone leaned forward, eager to see who would be the first to compete.
The slips glimmered faintly as they floated gently to the stage, landing with a soft thud.
Xu Yong swept the slips together and held them up once more.
"The first pair is..." he trailed off, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Chen Haoran vs. Lei Yixuan!"
The spectators cheered as the two contestants stepped forward, their expressions tense but eager.
