Chapter 381: Seven Fighting Platforms, the Grand Competition Begins!

After Jiang Daoxuan adjusted the rules.

The scale of this Alliance Grand Competition.

Indeed, without exaggeration, it has far surpassed the former Tiandou Grand Competition hosted by the imperial court!

After all, the victor of the Tiandou Grand Competition would gain entry into the imperial court's academy.

But for the numerous sects and aristocratic families,

this move was nothing less than draining their blood and digging up their roots!

So naturally, they could never send their most outstanding juniors to participate in the Tiandou Grand Competition, lest they be recruited by the imperial court.

But this time, the Alliance Grand Competition is different from the Tiandou Grand Competition.

Because it is hosted by the sects and aristocratic families, all major powers feel at ease.

Thus, this Grand Competition is the largest grand gathering Tiandou Prefecture has seen in recent years!

On the other side,

upon hearing Jiang Daoxuan suddenly change the original five-family competition into one covering all Moon Wheel factions,

the ancestral elders of the four Alliance families were stunned.

But once they regained their composure,

they all nodded in agreement.

After having personally witnessed the immense aura emitted by this Alliance Master,

they were fully convinced.

Therefore, any decision he made,

so long as it did not harm the interests of the four families, naturally had no reason to be refused.

At this moment, all high-ranking figures present could not help but be shaken.

Their eyes instantly lit up with interest.

It seemed this Grand Competition was a fine opportunity for the juniors to broaden their horizons!

If the high-ranking figures felt this way, how much more so the young people of the various major powers!

All of them couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement!

Leaving aside the substantial rewards for achieving a ranking,

just the prospect of showcasing their prowess before so many factions, surely earning fame—and if victorious, perhaps even becoming renowned overnight—was enough!

How could such a chance to gain both fame and fortune fail to excite these young, fiery souls?!

Then, Jiang Daoxuan began announcing the rules of this Alliance Grand Competition:

Seven fighting platforms.

Everyone present could ascend the platform to defend their position!

As long as the platform defender held out for four incense sticks without being defeated, they would advance!

Repeat this for four rounds to screen out twenty-eight qualifiers.

Twenty-eight to fourteen, fourteen to seven.

Among the seven, one receives a bye, leaving six to compete.

The three winners plus the one who received a bye make four.

Four to two—the semifinals!

The final match will then determine the champion of the Grand Competition!

The rules were simple, brutal, and easy to understand.

Everyone's faces showed understanding, and they nodded.

Then, just as everyone thought it was over,

Jiang Daoxuan dropped another massive surprise!

"For this Grand Competition, as host, my Jiang family cannot go without offering something."

"We have added a special reward: all who successfully defend their platform will receive one Zengyuan Elixir!"

"Those who advance to the top twenty-eight will receive an additional Xisui Elixir!"

"Those who advance to the top fourteen will receive one lower-grade Earth-class treasure herb!"

"The top seven will receive one lower-grade Earth-class magic treasure!"

"The top three will receive one mid-grade Earth-class magic treasure!"

"The champion will receive one mid-grade Earth-class treasure herb, one upper-grade Earth-class cultivation technique, and an additional mid-grade Earth-class magic treasure!"

Although he could have offered Earth-class supreme or even Heaven-class magic treasures,

Jiang Daoxuan chose to remain low-key and capped the highest reward at mid-grade Earth-class magic treasures!

Mid-grade Earth-class perfectly matched the Moon Wheel realm, fitting squarely within what he could reasonably offer.

And as Jiang Daoxuan's voice fell,

the crowd erupted instantly!

Though these rewards meant nothing to Jiang Daoxuan,

to everyone else, they were extremely precious!

The Zengyuan Elixir and Xisui Elixir were both xuan-grade supreme elixirs, but due to their extreme difficulty in refinement and scarcity of ingredients, their value rivaled even some lower-grade Earth-class elixirs!

Such rare and expensive elixirs were seldom seen even by them!

To obtain even one was exceedingly difficult!

Yet now, this White Robe Sword Marquis had simply waved his hand and guaranteed one to every successful defender!

Added to that were lower-grade Earth-class treasure herbs and magic treasures—and even mid-grade Earth-class magic treasures!

Such a grand gesture might not even be possible, even if it drained the reserves of a Moon Wheel faction!

After all, many factions' strongest members.

Even those mighty Moon Wheel True Persons might not be able to produce a single Earth-Rank Mid-Class magic treasure!

Yet this White-Robed Sword Marquis produced not one, but three at once!

Precisely because of this, the shockwave it caused was extraordinarily intense.

Almost everyone was stunned, frozen in place.

But soon, as the crowd gradually regained their composure,

The scene instantly erupted into chaos!

Countless people erupted into heated discussion, clenching their fists, their battle spirit soaring!
