"This is the power of the Martial Saint!"

"The Power of Mental Imagery, using one's own heart to replace the celestial heart, can change the Celestial Phenomenon with mere thought and harness natural forces like lightning. It's truly unbelievable!"

"With such power, it's no wonder Martial Saints are deemed National Guardian Level! One truly can guard a nation alone; the title is indeed well-deserved!"

In the guest seats, exclamations and praises rose continuously.

But Cyan Dragon ignored these voices, merely sitting back down calmly.

"Thank you, Divine General Cyan Dragon, for demonstrating what the Power of Mental Imagery of a Martial Saint is!"

At this moment, Hong Sen was full of aura; holding the microphone, he quickly controlled the rhythm of the event, once again focusing everyone's attention on himself.

Meanwhile, Jingyu helped set the atmosphere beside him. Together, they first announced the purpose of holding this event.

After that, they envisioned the future of the Martial Arts World of Dongji Kingdom.

They took out the list and read aloud the names of the fourteen city representative teams: "Star City Team, Zhaoling Team, Yan City Team, Forest City Team, Jianning Team, Lotus City Team, Baling Team, Wuling Team, Loudi Team, Wuxi Team, Silver City Team, Dayong Team, Langzhou Team, Linjiang Team..."

"This competition includes fourteen city representative teams, gathering a total of one hundred and twelve participants. They all represent the new generation in the field of Martial Artists in Xiang Province, the outstanding Martial Dao rookies, the geniuses among Martial Arts Apprentices. Now, let's welcome the contestants into the arena with the most enthusiastic applause!"

Outside the corridor of the Linjiang Team contestants' lounge, the ten members of the school team had already lined up.

Only when the host announced for the contestants to enter did Ye Qingzhou, as the captain, stand up first; then he walked at the forefront, leading the other seven members, striding firmly and steadily toward the center of the Martial Dao arena.

Fourteen cities, dozens of renowned schools, and over a hundred Martial Dao geniuses who have been screened through numerous rounds. The contestants displayed a vibrant atmosphere.

Each one of them represents the future of the Martial Arts World of Xiang Province.

On their young and slightly immature faces, there was courage unafraid of difficulties and challenges, an undeterred Martial Dao spirit striving upwards.

From these over a hundred Martial Dao geniuses, people seemed to be able to glimpse the profound heritage of the Martial Arts World of Dongji Kingdom and its bright and splendid future.

Just as hosts Hong Sen and Jingyu said, they are the most outstanding Martial Dao geniuses among the new generation of Martial Dao rookies in Xiang Province.

Among these geniuses, those qualified to serve as captains are even more extraordinary, strikingly impressive, attracting the highest degree of attention once they appear.

Walking at the forefront of the team, Ye Qingzhou felt countless eyes gather upon him at that moment, while the Flying Frost and Xuanjian, the two Swords of Dao, hummed and vibrated continually.

Ye Qingzhou pondered, realizing that the Power of Thought Ability from others, especially Spiritual Power representing hope and recognition, could also be absorbed and utilized by him.

While he was contemplating, cheers and applause erupted from the audience seats.

Flags fluttered, flowers and streamers adorned the scene unceasingly.

Simultaneously, invited media journalists carried cameras directed at the contestant teams, their lenses constantly flashing, eager to capture this precious moment in its entirety.

One day, if a Master or even a Grandmaster emerges from these Martial Dao geniuses, the precious footage will immediately become highly sought-after, frequently revisited and appreciated.

Ye Qingzhou led the Linjiang Team and smoothly took their position.

"Phew~"

Feeling the pressure greater than that of the Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition, Xu Yuebing took several deep breaths to slightly calm her tense mood.

Afterward, her gaze turned towards the figure standing at the forefront of the team, her heart filled with absolute confidence in victory.

Her team is the strongest!

As long as Ye Qingzhou is there, victory is merely within grasp!

Yet despite this, Xu Yuebing did not wish to win effortlessly.

She had once longed to fight alongside her sister, but now, another wish had sprouted in her heart—if possible, she hoped to always be qualified to stand by Ye Qingzhou's side, accompanying him throughout his journey.

Instead of standing still, being left far behind, unable to even catch a glimpse of his back.

'I must become stronger!'

Xu Yuebing grasped the hilt of the Floating Snow Sword; this Phoenix Cup will be her opportunity to showcase her strength, her trial to forge her Sword Heart.

Her longing for victory and her ambition to continue climbing to the peak of Martial Dao was equally intense.

First were the contestants' oaths, followed by the speeches of the leaders, and the opening ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner, making it appear rather tedious.

Finally, Hong Sen and Jingyu together began introducing the rules to the audience.

The Xiang Province Phoenix Cup City League, Martial Dao confrontation is divided into arena battles, squad battles, and team battles.

The Arena Battle is divided into three phases.

They are the preliminary, the main event, and the final.

In the preliminary phase, it's five one-on-one rounds to decide the winner; each team will play thirteen matches. The winning team gets three points, a tie earns one, and the loser gets no points.

The four teams with the highest scores advance to the main event, where the first will face the fourth, and the second will face the third. Finally, the winners proceed to the third phase finals, determining the ownership of the three trophies in the Arena Battle: Champion, Runner-Up, and Second Runner-Up.
