Fire of War Brings Peace/

Chapter 44: Top Eight Announced

The City Lord's Mansion of Little Deer City is located on the main street of the city. Compared to the City Lord's Mansion of Big Dipper City, it is much smaller and the luxury of the building is incomparable. However, compared to other nearby houses, it still stands out from the crowd, so it is not difficult to find it..

When Gu Xifeng and the others arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the soldiers of the Second Battalion of Broken Army and Greedy Wolf had already formed two large square formations, filling up the main street in front of the City Lord's Mansion..

There were about 500 people in the two phalanxes. Every soldier in the huge phalanx stood still. The formation was orderly and disciplined. There was not a single sound. Only the occasional warhorse shook its head and let out a low cry. The entire main street was filled with a grim atmosphere..

The disciples passing by were affected by this atmosphere. Every one of them had a solemn expression and tried not to make a sound. They went straight into the City Lord's Mansion..

Gu Xifeng and the others were no exception. Even Jianghuai Shi, who had always been careless, no longer chased Gu Xifeng and the others. She slowed down her pace and looked at the queue with reverence..

Walking into the City Lord's Mansion, Jianghuai Shi let out a soft breath and said with a heroic expression," I want to join the army too! This is the life I want! I want to become a world-renowned female hero! But Sister Huaishi, war is cruel. You're a girl…" Monkey looked at Jianghuai Shi worriedly, but Jianghuai Shi interrupted him..

" What's wrong with the girl? Let's fight if you don't agree!" Jianghuai Shi was a little angry. She looked like she would fight anyone who stopped her..

Monkey stood where he was and smiled bitterly, no longer speaking..

"Sister Huaishi, you really have to think about it. Living and training with so many men will be inconvenient, right?.

"Gu Xifeng also came forward to advise.

" You don't know this, do you? The Starry River Sect has a special team of female disciples in the Second Battalion of the Broken Army and Greedy Wolf. I want to rise up among the ranks and become the commander. All the men have to listen to me!" Jiang Huaishi said arrogantly. Everyone respected her choice and stopped persuading her further..

As time passed, the disciples participating in the trial had already gathered..

The front yard of the City Lord's Mansion was now occupied by disciples, except for a huge tournament platform built in front of the Flower Gate..

The Sect Leader and the Four Star Pavilion Master sat on the competition stage according to the etiquette of the sect. There were also two men in armor sitting on both sides. One had a broken military camp logo on his chest and the other was the greedy wolf camp..

Gu Xifeng and the others had seen these two people when they first joined the Galaxy Sect, but they had only caught a glimpse of them and did not have a deep impression of them..

Now, if you look carefully, the murderous aura between the two people makes people afraid. You don't have to guess that these two people are the commanding officers of the Second Battalion of Breaking Army and Greedy Wolf..

"Quiet, everyone..

Chen Yaoguang's strange voice once again entered the ears of every disciple, causing the originally noisy City Lord's Mansion to immediately calm down..

"Next, those disciples who still have Star Beads, please hand them over..

As soon as Chen Yaoguang finished speaking, ten stewards came to the stage with cloth bags and paper washi. Gu Xifeng and other disciples who still held Star Beads lined up and the stewards counted and recorded them one by one..

After everyone handed in their documents, all the stewards walked to the rear. After an incense stick's time, a steward came to the stage with a list in his hand and reported to the Sect Leader. Chen Yaoguang gave him a few simple instructions, and the steward walked to the front of the stage alone and cleared his throat..

" There are a total of 523 Galaxy Sect disciples participating in this trial. There are 122 who have not been eliminated in the first stage. A total of 397 Star Beads have been handed in. The rest have been seized by the participating armorers. Next, I will announce the results of this trial..

"There are thirty-two disciples who have a Star Bead in their hands. They are Xu Daming, Duan Qiuling, Zhang Wei…" Then, he read out a long list of names. After reading out a lot of names, there were many sighs in the courtyard, because these people were not much stronger than the eliminated ones. They might even be worse off..

After all, the eliminated ones had experienced battles before they were eliminated. It was possible that they were just unlucky. However, these disciples with one Star Bead might not have participated in a single battle. Of course, they might also be unlucky to have been chased by experts all the time. It was lucky that they could escape. Only they knew the specific situation..

" There are 48 disciples who have two Star Beads in their hands. They are Song Yi, Fang Hua, Wang Jingzhu…" It was a longer series of names. This time, it was completely different from before. Applause sounded in the City Lord's Mansion. These people defeated at least one opponent, and they were worthy of respect..

After that, he read out a list of three, four, five, and nine Star Beads. Another 34 names were mentioned. As the number of Star Beads increased, the atmosphere below the stage became even more heated..

" Next, I will announce the name list of disciples who have handed in ten Star Beads or more. These people are also the top eight in this trial!" Following the manager's words, the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively. Everyone wanted to know who the top young disciples were. Everyone started discussing..

"Please be quiet. There are two disciples who have handed in ten Star Beads in this trial. They are Jiang Huaishi and Ye Ling. These are the seventh and eighth places in the first stage of this trial..

"Below are the two disciples who handed in 11 Star Beads, Tao Muyao and Xie Zhan. These two are the fifth and sixth.".

This time, there was not much commotion among the disciples. These four people were well-known experts in the Galaxy Sect for a long time, and it was only natural that they obtained such a ranking..

" The fourth place winner is Xiao Houzai. Hand over 15 Star Beads!" As soon as these words were said, the disciples below the stage immediately exploded..

" Who is Xiao Houzai? I haven't heard of him before. Which Star Pavilion's disciple is he?"" This name sounds familiar. Where have I heard of him before?"" Let me think. I have some impression of him. Xiao Houzai…Damn, isn't this name one of the two unlucky worms who were sent to the Vesta Pavilion a few years ago?"" What? Chef can participate in the sect trial?"" Those who don't participate can be put aside. How did he obtain so many Star Beads? Even his opponent can't defeat Chef? So many people have fallen through the gutter?""" Did you use some dirty tricks?".

The disciples discussed among themselves, and all looked incredulous. They found Monkey's figure in the crowd, and Monkey suddenly became the focus of the audience's attention..

"Quiet, quiet.

The steward shouted loudly, but the sound was soon drowned out and did not have any effect..

:.

Quiet! What a racket!.

This time, it was Sect Leader Chen Yaoguang who spoke. Sect Leader Chen's angry voice sounded like thunder in everyone's ears. The City Lord's Mansion instantly returned to silence. The disciples looked at each other and no longer spoke, but their faces were still full of doubt..

"The next announcement is the top three who handed in the Star Beads. The third place winner is Zhang Yuntao, who handed in 18 Star Beads..

Although there was little discussion under the stage, there were also many people who raised doubts..

"Zhang Yuntao, I think I've heard of him. He's an old disciple of Tianji Pavilion, right?.

"I haven't seen this senior brother before. Is he so powerful?""It seems that he is a master who is good at hiding.".

" Now, I announce that the disciple who won the second place is Gu Xifeng! Hand over 24 Star Beads!"" Boom!" It was as if there was an explosion below the stage. Even if the Sect Leader reprimanded them first, they still could not stop the disciples from discussing because this matter was too shocking. Everyone only lowered their voices slightly, seeming to be more restrained than when they recited Monkey..

"Gu Xifeng, is he another disciple sent to the Kitchen Lord Pavilion?.

"Yes, that's him, I know him well, they both attended Qiming Pavilion with me, and I'm sure it's him..

Chen Yaoguang raised her eyebrows and was about to speak again when many sharp-eyed disciples noticed something and immediately signaled to their companions. One word spread, and ten words spread. Soon, everything quieted down again. Sect Leader Chen touched his nose and smiled, but did not say anything else..

When the steward saw that the scene had quieted down, he continued to read..

" Finally, I announce that the winner of the first place is Tang Jinge! The number of pieces submitted is 35!" This time, the audience was completely excited, but there were no doubts. There were only warm applause and praise..

"The first place is indeed Senior Brother Jin Ge. There is no suspense..

"Senior Brother Tang has long been the number one person of the younger generation!""It is said that Junior Brother has already reached the Grandmaster Realm at the age of thirteen!".

"This is the true God's Son..

"I don't know which unlucky person met Senior Brother Tang..

" Me! I was defeated in a single encounter. Senior Brother Jin Ge's strength is unfathomable!" No one noticed that there was a figure in the shadow of one of the walls of the City Lord's Mansion. He leaned against the wall leisurely and looked in the direction of the competition stage. He merged with the shadow. Even if someone passed by, they would not be able to find any clues..

"One second, one fourth. These two brats, this trial environment is suitable for them, but they only gave me such results. The rest is not what they are good at..

" It's over, it's over. I'm going to lose to Old Wu this time. My Qianqiu Wine. Humph, wait for me to reward you!" This person muttered to himself. The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Strangely, not a single word of his words spread a foot away. This person was the commander of the Seven Kills Camp and Gu West Wind's master, Huang Xin..

Huang Xin was a little disappointed and sighed softly..

"I don't know how Old Wu's luck is so good. He met a genius like Tang Jinge. Even if my hidden disciple really used his inner energy, he might not win..

If Gu Xifeng heard this, his jaw would definitely drop. Huang Xin had discovered his secret? When the scene calmed down again, the steward cleared his throat and continued,"Next, I announce that the second stage of this trial begins. The first eight disciples of the first stage will compete one-on-one.".

"The rules are as follows. First place will face eighth place, second place will face seventh place, third place will face sixth place, fourth place will face fifth place, and the Star Beads will be handed over to draw lots to determine the specific ranking..

"The opponents can choose their own special wooden weapons, and the weapons used by the opponents are more sophisticated than those in the first stage. They do not lose iron weapons.".

"The two sides should not intentionally injure or even kill their fellow disciples. Those who violate the rules will be severely punished.".

"Next, invite the first eight disciples to the stage, and there will be someone who will lead you to choose weapons.".

Gu Xifeng and the others came to the stage under the various gazes of the disciples and were immediately taken to a room in the City Lord's Mansion. The room was filled with all kinds of wooden weapons, and the people were dazzled by the sight..
