The Heavenly Profound Emperor had only heard of Xu Fengqiu's name.
He had never actually met him.
This was their first meeting.
Remember the first website domain 𝚝 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞
He certainly didn't look like an ordinary junior.
The Prime Minister respectfully said, "Yes, that is Xu Fengqiu."
The Heavenly Profound Emperor said indifferently, "Well, I want to see just how capable this Xu Fengqiu really is."
Tang Fan stood there.
Behind him were a dozen people from the Weapon Sect.
Among them, six were newcomers who had only joined the Weapon Sect a few months ago.
Their cultivation wasn't very high, but Tang Fan mainly taught them hidden weapons and techniques.
Tang Fan wanted to use their performance today to shock the world.
He wanted to tell the world that after learning from his Weapon Sect for a few months, they could possess such a level of skill.
He wanted to make it clear to everyone that if they wanted to cultivate these skills, the Weapon Sect was more suitable than the Tang Sect.
Xu Fengqiu glanced at Tang Fan.
His main purpose for coming here was twofold.
First, to come and hinder Tang Fan's development a bit.
Second, to make the Eternal First Divine Sect even more famous, to build its reputation in this area, and thereby attract more powerful individuals to join.
Third, to also deter the Tang Sect and the Myriad Poison Sect.
Although they were allies with the Tang Sect.
But this alliance…
"Well, the time is almost up."
Tang Jingyu stepped forward and glanced at the crowd.
"Those who should come have probably arrived, so I announce that this Hidden Weapon Grand Competition officially begins."
"Since our Tang Sect is the organizer of the competition, we will not participate in the judging."
Tang Jingyu looked at the powerhouses present.
"I wonder if any of you would be willing to take on the task of judging this Hidden Weapon Grand Competition?"
The Heavenly Profound Emperor said indifferently, "I happen to be free, I can give it a try."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duanmu Jin: "Then this Sect Leader will also lend a hand."
"This old man will also come."
"This old man will also try."
"… …"
Some powerhouses said casually.
"Very well!" Then, Tang Jingyu waved his hand.
In the void above, several rows of golden characters appeared.
"Everyone, these are the rules and content of this Hidden Weapon Grand Competition that our Tang Sect has been thinking about these days, and the content also incorporates some of the methods of our Tang Sect's internal competitions."
"If you all think there are no problems, then we will proceed according to these rules and content. If you all feel that something is missing, or that it may be unfair, you can directly bring it up."
Xu Fengqiu looked up.
This Hidden Weapon Grand Competition is divided into three parts.
Poison, hidden weapon techniques, and actual combat.
Because hidden weapons are basically related to poison.
Therefore, poison is also of utmost importance.
Tang Jingyu said, "The first round is a competition of poison! Because hidden weapons often need to be enhanced with poison to maximize their effectiveness. Of course, there are many hidden weapons that do not require poison, but we will treat it as the most common situation."
The crowd nodded.
Tang Jingyu then said, "The second round tests the techniques of hidden weapons. As everyone knows, any hidden weapon that can be put on the table requires special techniques to activate it, or to allow the hidden weapon to exert its characteristics and power. Therefore, if the hidden weapon technique is not refined, then the control of the hidden weapon will naturally be very ordinary, let alone its application in actual combat."
"The third round is actual combat. Since you all come from all over the world, you have different understandings of hidden weapons, different cultivation levels, and different abilities. Actual combat will keep you at the same realm, unable to use any external force, and you can only engage in actual combat with your fists and feet, but the ultimate deciding factor is not fists and feet, but only hidden weapons."
After Tang Jingyu finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "Do you all have any objections?"
A powerhouse said, "There are no objections to the first and third rounds, but there are some objections to the second round's hidden weapon technique competition."
"Speak without hesitation."
The powerhouse said, "It's like this, everyone knows the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, but we come from all over the world, some are even self-taught. We don't know much about the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, but we only know about our own hidden weapons, so if we are tested according to the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques, we will definitely lose."
Tang Jingyu said, "We have taken this into consideration. Therefore, when the time comes, we will use our experience to classify your own mastered hidden weapons into levels equivalent to the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, as long as the hidden weapon techniques are of similar difficulty, you can activate your own hidden weapons to match the Tang Sect's hidden weapons."
He then nodded.
In fact, this was not important.
No one cared about the level of these people from all over the world.
Today's protagonists were no more than four.
Tang Fan, Xu Fengqiu, the Myriad Poison Sect, and the Tang Sect.
The others were just there to make up the numbers.
"There are still objections." Tang Fan said at this time.
Tang Jingyu looked at Tang Fan and asked, "What objections do you have?"
Tang Fan asked, "Why not compare the types of hidden weapons mastered?"
"As everyone knows, the Tang Sect possesses tens of thousands of hidden weapons, including Xuan Tian Poison Weapons. So, assuming the Tang Sect knows five of the ten Great Xuan Tian Poison Weapons, and I can create six, isn't this a manifestation of my strength over the Tang Sect?"
"At the same time, for a hidden weapon practitioner, the more types of hidden weapons they master, the stronger they are, which represents their own strength. Isn't this also a reflection of their level?"
Tang Jingyu then said, "Your objection is not a problem, but your statement only applies to our Tang Sect, your Weapon Sect, Feng Di's Eternal First Divine Sect, and the Myriad Poison Sect. So many other people who have come to participate in the competition are mostly self-taught, and they don't even know how to create Xuan Tian Poison Weapons, let alone control them."
"Therefore, the Tang Sect has also taken them into consideration, otherwise wouldn't they be completely wiped out in this round?"
Tang Fan: "Then why not make it the final round of the competition? I think it will be difficult for anyone among them to enter this final round, right?"
Tang Fan's words also made them very unhappy.
But in fact, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Xuan Tian Poison Weapons or top-level hidden weapons.
They simply could not come into contact with them.
Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, only the Tang Sect and the Myriad Poison Sect could create Xuan Tian Poison Weapons before.
Now there are Xu Fengqiu and Tang Fan.
There were no others.
"Let's finish the first three rounds first, is that okay?" Tang Jingyu asked.
"Alright." Tang Fan nodded.
He mainly wanted to show off a little more and shock everyone even more.
This way, the Tang Sect would regret it even more.
Joining the Weapon Sect would be even more tempting for those people.
"This Tang Fan, he has come with ill intentions."
The Heavenly Profound Emperor pondered.
The Prime Minister said, "Tang Fan had a conflict with Xu Fengqiu before and made a mistake, but the Tang Sect ultimately chose to expel Tang Fan from the sect and chose to form an alliance with Xu Fengqiu."
"There's such a thing?" The Heavenly Profound Emperor became interested.
"Yes, Tang Fan must be resentful about this. Afterwards, he also publicly clamored that he must make the Weapon Sect surpass the Tang Sect. He has come today to make the Tang Sect regret it."
The Heavenly Profound Emperor nodded slightly.
"Then without further ado, let the first round of the Poison Competition begin immediately!"
