At ten o'clock sharp, an old man dressed in luxurious clothing stood up from the platform. His loud voice spread throughout the entire venue.

"Everyone, please calm down. This old man is Jin Xingtian, and today is the opening day of our Jin Clan's Southern Youth Fighting Conference. Here, I represent the Jin Clan's participants and the audience to express our heartfelt gratitude. We have received a total of 114 applications from the sword sects. Aside from the disciples of these sects, there are also more than a thousand applications for the individual competition. In order to thank everyone for your support, our Jin family has decided that the reward for this competition will be increased by 20% compared to the previous one. The champion of the individual competition will also be able to obtain a set of special armor of the [A] class. "

Hearing this, the audience went into an uproar, and the discussion immediately became lively.

"Is the Jin family very rich? They must have something besides fame to hold this convention. "

"The Jin Clan is indeed very rich. If they were to earn fame, they would have done so a long time ago. When it comes to the Pine Blossom Jin Clan, there is no power on the continent that is still unaware of this. Even some disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect are recruited over, but the Jin Clan is a very good person, they do not need these disciples to leave their original sects, if we request them to, they will let them go, but if something happens to these disciples while they are working for the Jin Clan, we will not interfere in their affairs. Actually, the main reason why the Jin family is hosting this conference is to make money. "

"Earning money?" "You can make money from this?" Li Xun was slightly puzzled.

"Heh heh, of course you wouldn't know if you stayed at the bottom of the mountain all year round. The purpose of this competition had always been to make money from the start. Everyone was a gambler. If there was a winner or loser in this competition, it could naturally be used to set up a gambling house. At every Great Games, the Jin family would always make a fortune. Before the competition began, they would invite many large families to come and gamble. They wanted to see who was the wiser one. This is also the reason why we aren't willing to send the best disciple within the age of thirty to help others marry. And just look at the people who came to watch the match, the one with the lowest entry position was one of the three gold coins. Just this ticket alone is not a small amount of income. "

"There can't be a conspiracy behind this, right?" When Li Xun heard about the gambling house, he immediately thought of the gambling house. The gambling house on earth was covered with dark curtains.

"It can't be said that they don't have that kind of courage, but the Jin Clan doesn't have that kind of courage anyway, so there's no need for them to do that. They have to bear the risk of offending the entire Southern Sword Sect, and they don't dare to do that." It can't be said that they don't have that kind of courage, but the Jin Clan doesn't have that kind of courage, so there's no need for them to do that. For the past few hundred years, it was indeed because of the fairness of the Jin Clan that we participated every single time. "

"Can we bet ourselves?"

"Of course you can. However, the Jin Clan usually doesn't bet until the top eight. In any case, the more you bet, the more the Jin Clan will earn."

Moreover, who would think that they had too much money? That old man Ouyang Qingfeng wouldn't have already guessed that I would bet one hundred thousand purple coins on him, would he? That cunning old man had been tricked by him yet again.

After everyone discussed for a while, Jin Xingtian's voice sounded out once again.

"It seems like our Jin Clan's reward this time around is still satisfactory to everyone. Next, I will announce the competition rules that are of concern to everyone here. Seeing the eight arenas in the center, everyone who was familiar with the competition knew that this time round, the group competition would be held by the main Sword Faction. The first batch of main Sword Faction members would be placed in the top eight, and each group of main Sword Faction could only accept a maximum of four challenges per day. The defending period was ten days, so for the first five days, other than the main Sword Faction, the rest of the sword sects had to complete one challenge, otherwise, it would be decided as a waiver. During the final stage of the team competition, lots were drawn to decide the victor. The victor would be promoted to the next round. The individual competition will be held after the team competition ends. The specific competition rules will be announced after the team competition's champion is announced. Please hurry up and register for the individual competition before the time limit of five days has passed. If you don't say anything more, I will just ask the representatives from the eight Sword Discourse Arena to come to my place to pick out the number of the arena. "

"Little Fen, go ahead. We'll be counting on you for a lucky number."

"Sure, sure. Which number is it?" When Tian Fen heard Li Xun tell her to smoke, she was extremely happy.

"Of course, number six is the best for the six of us." Six was a number that had a special meaning to Chinese people. Although he had been on the continent for twenty years, Li Xun had not forgotten that the word "Six Paths" was imprinted in Li Xun's soul.

"Haha, I'll be going then." After finishing her sentence, the little girl ran towards the VIP stage.

"But soon, the little girl came back dejectedly." Senior brother, I drew number five, I'm only missing one. "

"# 5 is also not bad. Look, # 5 is the closest one to us."

"Hee hee, that's good." Tian Fen, who was sulking with him a moment ago, was happy again.

Jin Xingtian's voice sounded once more.

"Next, I'll announce the names of all the arena champions." Number 1 Lu Shan Sword Sect, Number 2 Coiling Dragon Sword Sect, Number 3 Wolf Fang Sword Sect, Number 4 Tiger City Sword Sect, Number 5 Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, Number 6 Black Mountain Sword Sect, Number 7 Da Yu Sword Sect, Number 8 Black Moon Sword Sect. The Sword Faction members of each arena were requested to send their people up onto the stage as soon as possible, and those who wished to challenge the Sword Faction were also invited to register at the main platform. The challenge will officially begin in half an hour. "

"Li Xun, arrange someone to go on stage."

"Which one of you is willing to be the first to go to the arena?" Li Xun asked playfully.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

"..."

The five of them fought to be the first to go to the arena. Even the usually quiet Qin Qing was no exception.

"I'm the one who asked him to admit defeat."

"Huh?"

Everyone looked at Li Xun with widened eyes.

"Don't just look at me like that, we really have to defend this place for ten days straight. Don't you think it's too tiring to count how many matches we'll have to fight?" We just need to win a seat on the tenth day. " Li Xun casually shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands.

"Cough cough, Li Xun. This matter concerns the reputation of the Sword Faction. If it were to be spread out, our Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect would lose without even fighting. It would not be pleasant to listen to. Are you considering it?" Elder Gu's expression turned ugly. He never thought that a person with such powerful strength like Li Xun would actually choose to admit defeat the moment the match started. He had been counting on the six of them to gather together and become famous for the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect.

"Elder Gu, you should know that there are a lot of powerful fighters this time. Rather than the final failure, it's better for us to conserve our strength."

"But, Li Xun, you should think about it some more. With the strength you six have now, it's surely no problem for you to defend the arena." After Elder Gu said this, the other elders also agreed. The five of them also disagreed.

On the continent of sword spirits, the reputation of the sword faction was very precious. People like Qin Qing, who was sent to the sword faction as a disciple at the age of seven or eight, received many years of education from the sword faction. Of course, Li Xun was an exception. Although he had entered the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect at the age of ten, he had never considered himself to be a member of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, so he naturally did not care much about the reputation of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. Moreover, Li Xun was the only one among the crowd who had received military education. His reputation and victory, as well as his standards were completely different from the others present.

"You should all know that this time, the Sect Leader has appointed me as the captain. I promised him that I would take first place. As long as we take first place, then this little incident won't be a problem."

When everyone heard Li Xun bring out the Sect Leader, they could only give up.

"I don't think any of you are willing to be the representative for admitting defeat. Hehe, the truth is, I am also unwilling. Forget about the three girls, the three of us men will go fight and the losers will go. " Li Xun smiled.

The three of them guessed who it was, and the last unlucky person was Zhou Jie. Zhou Jie slowly walked towards Ring Five with a bitter face.

"Zhou Jie, you can do it!" Tian Fen seemed to feel that Zhou Jie was not depressed enough so she shouted.

When the people of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect heard Tian Fen's words, they were stunned for a moment before they all burst out laughing. A few of the elders who were frustrated in their hearts choked on their tea as they coughed.

"Lil 'Fen, Zhou Jie is going to hate you to death this time." Qin Qing joked.

"Hmph, he dares?" Tian Fen's face warped.

Not long after, the contestants from the first round were all standing on the platform. The Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect was facing off against a nameless small sect. However, the first person they sent to fight was quite powerful, around the sixth step of cultivation.

"Please prepare your next contestants from each sword sect in time to save some time during the competition. All judges in the arena, please do your best to supervise. I announce that the challenge has officially begun. "

In the fifth ring.

The man fighting with Zhou Jie said with a cupped fist, "The Three Extreme Sword Sect's Lu Tianyou."

"Zhou Jie from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect."

"Show me your weapon."

"I, I admit defeat. I admit defeat on behalf of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect." Zhou Jie's face turned red.
