Lin Dong vs. Jun Bu Ping!
Upon hearing this, aside from the Talismans Lineage arena master Huangfu Tingfeng and the Formation Lineage arena master Xiao Long, the twenty-four individuals, including Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi, and others, focused their minds and held their breaths, preparing to seize an identity token at any moment.
The reason for fighting over the tokens was simple.
The two arena masters, along with other disciples from their respective lineages, also wanted to exert their full effort to be among the first thirteen to grab a token.
No one wanted to face their own sect members in the first round!
Once they encountered each other, it would mean that one of their own lineage's masters would be eliminated right from the first match!
At the same time, whether they could snatch a token first depended on luck since out of the twenty-six tokens, one belonged to them. If luck was against them, when their token was chosen, they might not have time to grab another token, and there would definitely be thirteen people who had already completed their grabs!
Dantai Xuanzhong declared, "Begin!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Everyone released their spiritual senses, enveloping the twenty-six identity tokens floating in the void. In an instant, thirteen tokens flew away from the void and landed in the hands of thirteen individuals below.
The remaining thirteen identity tokens in the void remained still, unable to be chosen again.
"Tan Yun, that's great! Ziyan also got a token," Mu Mengyi said with a smile.
Tan Yun also smiled at Xue Ziyan, who was not far away.
The tokens were seized by the following individuals:
From the Holy Spirit Lineage: Xiang Shengtian, Ke Xinyi, Kang Shiyuan.
From the Beast Spirit Lineage: Lin Dong, Chen Song.
From the Ancient Soul Lineage: Jun Bu Ping, Xiao Qingxuan, Shangguan Bingbing.
From the Wind Thunder Lineage: Lu Ren, Gu Yishan.
From the Five Soul Lineage: Xue Ziyan.
From the Danmai: Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi.
Dantai Xuanzhong continued, "You will draw lots to decide the order of appearance. When it's time for the duel, use your spiritual power to activate your identity tokens, and you will know who your opponent is."
As he spoke, Dantai Xuanzhong waved his right arm, and immediately, above the heads of Tan Yun and the other thirteen, thirteen fist-sized light barriers materialized.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The thirteen individuals, respectively, released a burst of spiritual power, hitting the thirteen light barriers. At that moment, the barriers rippled, and a number appeared within each barrier.
After a brief moment, the numbers and the barriers vanished without a trace.
From the numbers, the order of the duels was revealed as follows: Xiang Shengtian, Lin Dong, Ke Xinyi, Chen Long, Xiao Qingxuan, Gu Yishan, Mu Mengyi, Xue Ziyan, Lu Ren, Chen Song, Shangguan Bingbing, Kang Shiyuan, and lastly, Tan Yun.
Next, the opponents for Xiang Shengtian and the others were: Jun Bu Ping, Hou Ye, Li Shizhen, Mount Tai, Xiao Jingkong, Baili Longtian, An Yang Xuan Er, Duan Yu, Pan Changhai, Wu Ling, Cheng Jinyue, Xiao Long, and Huangfu Tingfeng!
At this time, Dantai Xuanzhong on the Jade Tower looked towards the nine great chiefs and said, "According to the order of the disciples' duels, the chiefs will preside over the matches."
"Subordinate obeys," the nine great chiefs replied, and the holy spirit path practitioner looked down at Xiang Shengtian with kindness, saying, "Shengtian, go to Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2 to begin."
"Disciple obeys!" Xiang Shengtian respectfully replied, transforming into a fleeting shadow that swiftly crossed the void, appearing on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2. Immediately, he raised his left hand high with the identity token, and with a snap of his right fingers, a burst of spiritual power shot into the identity token, instantly lifting the ban!
Amidst the crowd's gaze, as the ban was lifted, six words appeared on the token: "Holy Spirit Lineage Hou Ye."
The holy spirit path practitioner frowned, not expecting that in the first match, it would be his own two disciples from the Holy Spirit Lineage facing off!
