The four youths with Bong Gu looked at Lin Xian with disdain because they felt that Lin Xian's history would be over for opposing Bong Gu.
"Let's take a look later," Lin Xian said and immediately turned towards the entrance.
However, before entering the entrance, Lin Xian clearly saw another familiar individual. He smiled viciously when he saw that individual who was none other than Tan Jiang.
Tan Jiang was also with several youths who were probably members of the Tan Clan.
Lin Xian only glanced at him briefly, then walked slowly towards the entrance of the participants.
"The name is the same, but not necessarily the behavior is also the same." Lin Xian thought as he remembered Tan Jiang's name from his previous life was a bodyguard who was so loyal and kind to him.
Tan Jiang felt Lin Xian's murderous stare and glanced at Lin Xian. "Hmmm, wasn't that the young man with the woman back then? It seems Elder Xuan's killing was related to the two of them!" Tan Jiang thought.
Tan Jiang starts to be wary of Lin Xian, this time thinking that Lin Xian has a strong backer who can even kill Tan Xuan.
"Even though powerful individuals may be behind you, I will make that woman regret rejecting me by crippling that youngster!" Tan Jiang thought.
Of course, Tan Jiang didn't want to intervene because he still felt wary even though Lin Xian had strong supporters. However, he planned to get all the members of the Tan clan and some of his acquaintances to play a trick on Lin Xian while in the Arena.
Lin Xian didn't mind anything because his strongest opponent was the Spirit Realm Ninth Stage. With his current cultivation, there would be no way for them to kill him. Although he probably wouldn't be able to beat them all if a younger generation of Peak geniuses entered the competition.
When he entered the Arena, Lin Xian looked around and found dozens of small arenas where to do the eliminations.
"Attention all!" Someone's voice suddenly rang out as the crowd whispered to each other here and there.
"The preliminaries will start soon. Check your participant tokens and numbers. Participants are expected to rise to the top of the Arena when the number is called," said the middle-aged man who hosted the event.
"The preliminary round will be divided into 18 groups. Each group winner will compete in the main Arena. Any questions?" asked the middle-aged man.
All the younger generations who participated in the competition only kept silent to hear what the emcee said, a sign that they understood.
Seeing no one spoke, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and continued.
"Okay, the preliminary round will start soon. Participants with tokens 1-30 will do elimination in Arena One, and participants with tokens 31-60 will do elimination in Arena Two, and so on. On the back of the participant, tokens are listed in your respective groups."
"Fine! Good luck to you!" After saying that, the middle-aged man immediately disappeared somewhere.
Lin Xian took his participant token and glanced at the back of the token. "Group 2," Lin Xian whispered. He immediately walked towards the second preliminary Arena. He also checked all the cultivations of his opponent heading to the second Arena.
Sensing all the cultivation levels of the opponents, Lin Xian smiled, knowing that each group only had a few strong individuals to make the fights in the main Arena more lively.
Lin Xian also glanced at Tan Jiang and Bong Gu, who went to another arena, a sign that the strong competitors had been deliberately separated from the start by the competition organizers.
Tan Jiang and Bong Gu also glanced at Lin Xian, who was going to the second Arena. The two of them looked at the few clan members in Lin Xian's group and gestured to crush Lin Xian inside the Arena.
Some of the Tan and Bong Clan members understood the meaning of Tan Jiang and Bong Gu's gazes because the two of them had already told the rest of the clan to take care of Lin Xian if they could.
"Okay. The preliminary round of the second Arena will begin," A young man who looked to be 22 years old walked towards the second Arena.
Lin Xian looked at the youth and immediately knew that the youth had a cultivation of at least the fourth stage of the Earth Realm.
"I am Gu Dao, the second arena referee. When I call your contestants' numbers, you must enter the Arena within 20 seconds. If you exceed that, you will be disqualified!" Gu Dao said in a rather loud tone.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Gu Dao continued, "The first preliminary match in Group 2 will be entrants numbers 31 and 32. The two participants are expected to step onto the Arena!"
After hearing Gu Dao's voice, two youths immediately moved and entered the Arena.
Lin Xian glanced at his participant token, which was number 60. He only sighed because he had to fight at the end. "Looks like this preliminary round will take a long time," Lin Xian thought.
Before the match started, Gu Dao said again, "The time of the match is 1 minute. If the two participants are even, I will have the right to determine the winner."
Hearing Gu Dao's words, Lin Xian frowned instantly and knew that this competition wasn't fair at all. He immediately understood that some Ancient Clan or perhaps another power had already paid for their clan members to advance directly to the next round if they only stayed in the elimination arena.
"Tch! Looks like this is going to be troublesome," Lin Xian thought. But he smiled because he felt it was better. He wouldn't play around this time and planned to finish off his enemy head-on.
"Battle begins!" Gu Dao shouted. The Group two elimination round has started.
Lin Xian had no interest in watching the match as he felt his most powerful opponent would be at the Spirit Realm Seventh or Eighth Stage.
Time was ticking by; Lin Xian continued cultivating regardless of the matches within the Arena. Less than half an hour, his turn has come.
"Next preliminary matches are participants number 59 and number 60. The two participants are expected to move up to the Arena!" Gu Dao shouted.
Lin Xian opened his eyes because his turn had come. He immediately stood up and slowly walked towards the Arena.
Lin Xian's opponent was already waiting in the Arena. He frowned slightly, seeing the leisurely Lin Xian walking toward the Arena.
Even Gu Dao frowned and started counting to twenty in his mind.
When Lin Xian reached the Arena, Gu Dao had an irritated face that Lin Xian had reached the Arena as he counted to nineteen.
Lin Xian looked at his opponent closely and knew that his opponent had a cultivation of the Sixth Stage Spirit Realm.
Seeing Lin Xian, who was so calm and young-looking, Lin Xian's opponent smiled faintly as he only thought Lin Xian was at the Spirit Realm First Stage level.
Lin Xian's opponent was a member of the Tan clan.
