The arrival of Tu Ying shocked everyone.

However, Ancient Demon Tuo Si, wearing his black robe, wore a sneering look on his face. He saw Tu Ying was showing off.

​ 

The Ancient God Tribe was indeed the child of the Heaven and Earth. However he was from the Ancient Demon Tribe, also a child of the Heaven and Earth. It was on par with the Ancient God Tribe.

From the air, Tu Ying could see everyone’s shocked look. He was very pleased that his show of strength had worked.

Almost immediately, Tu Ying descended slowly. He landed beside the warriors of the Star Tribe.

His body started to shrink. In a flash his body returned to normal size.

Chief Xing Han from the Star Tribe nodded at Tu Ying. Afterwards, he walked away.

“Everyone, all are here. Let the challenge begin!” Xing Han looked around before he declared to the spectators.

“Xing Han, previously the Dawn Stone Mine was under the management of the Star Tribe. We shall let you be the host of this challenge!” a master from the Demon Clan suggested.

This guy was in a grey robe, his facial shape was narrow and long, he had a hooked nose and eyes that resembled an eagle’s. That was Kun Xu, the Chief from the Giant Bird Tribe.

The Giant Bird Tribe was a strong tribe, it was ranked eleventh on the Ten Thousand Archean Tribe Board. Although it was no way near the Sky Tyrant Tribe, it was comparable.

“What do the rest think?” Xing Han sought the opinion of the masters of various tribes.

“I agree!”

“I am fine with the proposal!”

“Agreed!”

Many masters gave their opinion. Long Chao also seconded the suggestion.

The Star Tribe was the champion of the previous challenge. It was usual for the previous champion to host the next challenge. Although it was not a rule, it had been made a tradition.

“Good, since everyone agrees, I shall take up the appointment!”

Xing Han nodded and shouted. He moved his big hand and suddenly grabbed the ground.

Suddenly, stars shone brightly, a big hand resembling a bright star grabbed cruelly towards the ground.

The ground suddenly shook, everyone saw the big hand slowly tearing the ground.

Obviously, the ground was not the real ground. It was formed by some unnamed gases.

This sturdy ground made by the gases was elastic. Even with Xing Han’s prowess, he had to put in some effort.

Slowly, he lifted a piece of ground with a radius of a thousand miles.

Subsequently, his carpenter’s hand fiddled in all directions and corrected the piece of land.

After a while, this piece of land became a platform for the challenge.

Folks from various tribes and clans moved forward to the challenge platform.

Su Mo followed the various folks from the Dragon Tribe to one side of the challenge platform.

Swoosh!

Xing Han’s shadow flashed by and descended on top of the platform. He scanned the spectators and declared loudly: “We shall follow the old rule. Every tribe shall send out masters below a thousand years old to take part in the challenge. However we shall limit each tribe to send only three challengers.”

He paused at this point and issued an invitation: “Now, let us invite all the contestants.”

Swoosh!

Many youthful shadows moved forward to the edge of the platform.

Long Daotian, Tu Ying, Tuo Si, Li Qianjue, Wu Zuo, were among the first to step forward.

Even Leng Xie took part in the challenge.

When Su Mo saw that, he also joined in.

He did a quick scan of the opponents, and highly gently. His had a worthy opponent in mind, however, that person did not take part!

This person was none other than Gongcheng Tai Hao, who had snatched away the Sword Saint Tianxin. He stood beside Li Tong and Li Shi, both masters from the Sky Tyrant Clan. He did not have any intention to take part in the challenge.

Su Mo was a little disappointed. If Gongcheng Tai Hao did not take part, he had no way to fuse with the other.

However, there was nothing he could do. He had to wait till the end of the challenge to devise another plan.

He felt Su Mo’s gaze upon him. Gongcheng Tai Hao was expressionless, he was aware that Su Mo had wanted him to take part in the challenge.

However, he was unable to take part.

Since he occupied the physical body of the Sword Saint Tianxin, he now possessed the body of a Rank 3 Empty God Realm, but his prowess was still low.

That was because he was unable to control the prowess of the Sword Saint Tianxin.

He would still need several more years, or even longer, to thoroughly assimilate the physical body.

Therefore he could not attend the challenge. Moreover, there was Li Qianjue who would take his place. That would be good enough.

Su Mo took a peep at Gongcheng Tai Hao and withdrew his gaze. He started to scrutinise the other opponents.

Only a few took part in the challenge. It was estimated to be two hundred contenders. Some tribes did not send any representative.

Because they knew that they stood no chance. To take part with only a remote possibility of winning would be a torture.

For those strong tribes, they usually sent one person to take part in the challenge. Only the Dragon Tribe, the Demon Tribe, the Star Tribe sent two people to the challenge.

This kind of challenge would usually be attended by the most demonic person.

Xing Han stood on the platform and scanned the two hundred talents. He nodded and declared: “A total of two hundred and eight contestants. What kind of rules shall we use?”

The rules of the challenge were usually not fixed because there was no rule that could please everyone.

In the previous challenge, the Star Tribe had won the championship. The Nether Tribe had been the runner-up.

However, the reason the Nether Tribe had lost the first place was because their contestant was hurt by another stronger opponent in an earlier duel.

Any type of rule would cause the losing party to make noise.

Therefore, Xing Han did not announce the rules directly. He used another approach to seek everyone’s opinion.

“I feel that choosing our opponent to fight is the best option!” Li Qianjue was the first to speak out.

He hoped that he could choose his opponent. He had wanted to challenge Su Mo.

If the challenge applied another form of rules, he might have missed an opportunity to fight Su Mo.

“I support the suggestion to choose our opponent to fight a duel.” Wu Zuo smiled gently and he agreed with Li Qianjue.

“I agree to that!”

“Me too!”

Leng Xie and Tuo Si spoke simultaneously.

Leng Xie’s intention was to kill Su Mo. However Tuo Si’s intention was unable to be ascertained.

Following the foursome outwardly supporting the idea of choosing the opponent to fight the duel, the other tribes and clans who were on good terms with the Sky Tyrant Tribe and the Demon Tribe also openly supported the proposal.

More and more people came forward to support the suggestion.

Such a scene had made Long Chao, Long Xun, and Long Teng from the Dragon Tribe, be a little concerned.

They were aware that such a suggestion would be unfavourable to Su Mo.

However, besides Long Teng, other masters from the Dragon Tribe were not too worried. After all, there was a Long Daotian from the Dragon Tribe.

The outcome of the Dragon Tribe hinged on Long Daotian.

Su Mo was expressionless and he did not offer his opinion. However he wore a smile.

A duel with your choice of opponent?

This would be his intention.

Upon seeing this, Xing Han smiled as he asked, “Almost half of you have suggested to fight the opponent he chooses. Does anyone have other suggestions?”

Xing Han’s voice was clearly heard by the crowd. There was a handful of people who disagreed on the suggested option. Most of the folks were happy with the proposal.

That proved that most had wanted to see a duel where the contestants could choose the opponents that they wished to challenge.

After all, such a rule was efficient and effective.

“Alright, since half of you agreed to this proposal and ninety percent of you do not oppose, we shall allow the contestants to choose their opponents to fight.”

After a short moment, Xing Han looked around and declared the rule for this challenge.
