Lord of the Star Ocean

The one that was sounded just now was the only Zhanlong Drum in Nanyuan City.

The Zhanlong Dagu is the royal drum of the Xianluo Empire, that is, the ritual drum used in major celebrations. It represents the supreme authority of the empire and the orthodoxy of the government. There is usually only one drum in a city, and it is stored in the city lord's mansion.

The Zhanlong Drum is a star weapon. The drum head is tanned with the hide of high-level wild beasts. The drum body, drum sticks, drum rings, and drum spikes are also made of very precious materials. The inside of the drum barrel is engraved with a star array of runes, giving it special power.

Although the grade of the Zhanlong Drum in Nanyuan City is not high, once it is played, it can be heard hundreds of miles away. It can not only deter wild beasts, but also has the blessing effect of stimulating the blood and fighting spirit of all warriors.

The drum of Zhanlong sounded, and the entire central square was silent in a blink of an eye. Thousands of ordinary people were silent, and all trembled in awe.

And those young star warriors who participated in the final election of star warriors were all excited, and many of them couldn't help clenching their fists, wishing to rush to the star stage to have a good fight with their opponents!

The Xianluo Empire was established by martial arts, and the Dragon Battle Drum also existed to inspire the spirit of martial arts.

The drum was played nine times, and the lingering sound continued.

The next moment, an old man in white robes boarded the star platform, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "The luck of the empire originated from martial arts, and it has been passed down from generation to generation and will never be destroyed. Today's Nanyuan martial arts test is intended to inspire future generations. I hope you will abide by the spirit of martial arts and live up to the expectations of the empire!"

This white-robed old man was thin and thin, with a wooden stick in his hand, his beard and hair were all white, making him feel weak.

But no one in the room dared to underestimate this old man, because he is Pang Tai, the chief astrologer of Nanyuan Star Pagoda!

On the bright side, Liang Gaoyuan, the lord of Nanyuan City, is in charge of Nanyuan City, but Dai Yong, who holds the garrison military power, is enough to fight against him. Both of them are top-level gold warriors, and their strength is comparable.

However, in Nanyuan City, the status of the two is definitely not the highest, because there is Pang Tai.

Pang Tai governs the Nanyuan Star Tower, which represents the Association of Astrologers, and the Association of Astrologers in Pan Xinghai World is a colossus that even the Xianluo Empire respects incomparably.

The most important thing is that the star tower is the most powerful defensive force of a city. If there is no star array controlled by the star tower to protect Nanyuan City, it would have been razed to the ground by the wild beasts on Haoyuan Star.

It's just that the Star Tower strictly abides by neutrality and does not participate in secular affairs. Pang Tai has practiced in the Star Tower for many years and rarely shows up once a year, so his sense of presence is very low, and it will not affect the authority of Liang Gaoyuan and Dai Yong.

But once the chief astrologer of the star tower appeared, the two top golden warriors would have to bow down.

Pang Tai appeared on the star platform today, of course not to show his existence, but to monitor this competition as the supreme judge of the final election of Star Martial Arts according to the usual practice.

After he finished speaking, he pinched the Yin Jue with his left hand immediately, and without knowing what to do, the ground of the star platform instantly revealed bright rays of light, which shot straight up into the sky.

Such a miraculous scene made the crowd watching around the star stage burst into exclamation and admiration.

But these thousands of light beams disappeared quickly, and Pang Tai waved his sleeves and got off the platform.

Immediately afterwards, two black-clothed warriors boarded the star platform, both of whom were gold-ranked star warriors.

The two are the arbitrator warriors for the final election of Star Martial Arts, and they are also in charge of drawing lots, which is the so-called star general!

"Gao Zhanpeng!" "Pei Hai!"

The two lots for the first match were drawn, and the roll call no longer contained the original A, B, C, and D numbers.

This is actually a change of identity, but all star fighters who have entered the final stage of the general election are regarded as the elite of the younger generation. Even if they fail to make it to the top ten in the end, others will have to look at them highly.

The two contestants who were drawn by the lottery quickly boarded the star stage, one in gray and one in green, both in their twenties, and both of them were top-level black irons.

This year's Xingtai Martial Arts Trials Gathered talented people, and all families and clans have sent the most outstanding newcomers. Not only the number of participating martial artists has greatly exceeded the previous ones, but the quality is also unprecedented.

There are dozens of top black irons alone. After the elimination of the previous sub-arenas, most of the top black irons can enter the finals, and the high-level black irons have become a minority.

As soon as Gao Zhanpeng and Pei Hai appeared, Nie Feng heard a lot of discussions from all around.

It turned out that this wasn't the first time these two faced off on the star stage, they were old enemies, and they were still rivals in love, it was really a coincidence that they were drawn in the first round of this year's general election.

Coincidentally, no one would think that this was intentionally manipulated. With Pang Tai, the chief astrologer, watching, anyone who dared to cheat on the star station would simply be asking for death.

So this duel is very interesting, and everyone is happy to watch it.

Gao Zhanpeng was tall and slender, with a handsome and fair appearance. He was wearing a blue shirt, revealing a bit of elegance.

His opponent, Pei Hai, was tall and burly, with a mighty appearance, dark skin, and a very hot temper. As soon as he stood still, he yelled at Gao Zhanpeng: "My surname is Gao, since I was drawn to fight with you, on the star platform today, do you dare to bet with me?"

Gao Zhanpeng smiled slightly and asked, "How do you want to bet?"

Pei Hai clenched his fists hard, cracking his finger bones. He stared at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever loses will not be allowed to pursue Kong Qiushan again. Do you dare to promise?"

As soon as his words fell, there was laughter all around the star platform.

No one thought that this was what Pei Hai gambled on. It really made people laugh and cry, but he was still very serious.

Gao Zhanpeng also laughed. He shook his head and said, "Pei Hai, other bets are fine, but this one is not. It's not that I'm afraid of losing, but that Qiushan is not a bet, and we shouldn't treat her as a bet."

Pei Hai was at a loss for words immediately, he was obviously not the kind of person who was good at words, he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, and felt as if he had really said something wrong, his face turned red.

And this scene fell into the eyes of others, and they couldn't help but feel that Gao Zhanpeng was better than Pei Hai. If she was Kong Qiushan, she would probably choose Gao Zhanpeng instead of Pei Hai.

"You two!"

At this moment, a woman in red jumped up from the contestant's seat, her pretty face was full of embarrassment, and she shouted angrily: "Don't embarrass yourself on the star stage, you have to fight fast, and whoever wins won't want to be liked by this girl!"

The laughter came again, louder than before.

Now even Nie Feng couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the woman they both pursued was also a warrior.

So much fun!
