Capítulo 1425: Chapter 1299: Selecting Seed Players
For several consecutive days, all the inns in Fire Spirit City were completely filled, and the taverns and teahouses were also crowded.
“Xuanwu State might not even make it into the top ten this ti. The other states are too strong, all of them are cultivators at the late-stage or even peak of the Holy Embryo Realm.”
“Yes, Xuanwu State has been weak for a long ti and truly cannot compete with the geniuses of other states.”
“Especially Qing Zi from the number one family in Qing Province, it’s said he has already broken through to the Divine Power Realm, even surpassing so of the older generation strong people.”
In the inns, taverns, dining houses, and tea societies of Fire Spirit City, wherever there were cultivators, there were all sorts of discussions and legends.
Finally, soone released such news, causing a sensation throughout!
The geniuses from all over are in the Holy Embryo Realm, yet Qing Zi was the first to break through!
Under such circumstances, many people believe that there’s likely no suspense for the Emperor among the four kings and one sovereign—Qing Zi is sure to seize one of the seats, and might very well be the only “Sovereign”!
Furthermore, the enmity between Ye Fan and Qing Zi is also a hot topic among all cultivators, always discussed over tea and als.
Of course, almost everyone believes that Ye Fan is dood this ti—his realm is rely mid-stage of the Holy Embryo Realm, the gap with Qing Zi is too large, not even on the sa level at all.
“This guy nad Ye Fan, stirred up endless turmoil in Qing Province. Even the massive Lou Family was completely wiped out because of him, no longer existing. Unfortunately, this competition is most likely certain death for him.”
“Qing Zi has already put the word out; during the competition, if he encounters him, he will undoubtedly kill! His days are numbered!”
“Pity a genius, just when he was about to grow, he is to perish prematurely.”
“Bla only himself for provoking soone he shouldn’t have, death is his only destiny!”
“In this world, there is never a shortage of geniuses. Only those who can grow are true geniuses, otherwise, they are just a flash in the pan.”
“You can’t say that, this Ye Fan is not soone to be trifled with, even the clan leader of the Qing Family died at his hands, it’s simply incredible!”
“That’s because soone helped him, and he sohow got hold of the terrifying Cursed Soil, otherwise Qing Yu could suppress him with one hand!”
Ye Fan’s strong response left everyone astonished. Most thought he knew he was dood and was just trying to look strong with words.
But a very small number believed that Ye Fan was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
As ti went by, with the competition drawing closer, the whole of Fire Spirit City was shrouded in a tense pre-competition atmosphere.
On this day.
The vice deans of the two academies jointly called for all mbers participating in the competition to gather on the square in front of the competition grounds. They were about to select eight seed contestants!
Due to the overwhelming number of geniuses participating this ti, even though there were six great states involved, they were divided into eight groups, with a total of eighty participants.
Naturally, each team would have one seed contestant, so selecting eight seed contestants in advance made sense. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be unfortunate if two geniuses with the potential to make it to the top eight were to clash early on?
Therefore, to guarantee the fairness of the competition, selecting eight seed contestants ahead of ti was the most reasonable action!
The so-called seed contestants value strength the most; without absolute strength, one does not deserve to be a seed contestant.
The news made the entire Fire Spirit City boil with excitent. Even though the formal competition hadn’t started yet, the process of selecting the eight seed contestants was bound to be very exciting.
Early in the morning, cultivators who had traveled from other regions to watch the competition arrived at the square in front of the competition grounds.
When Ye Fan and others were led onto the square by Wang Qingshan and Shen Xin, the place was already overcrowded.
“Eh, aren’t those people from Xuanwu State? Quick, make way for them, let them in!”
At the sight of Ye Fan and others arriving, many spectators couldn’t help but let out teasing smiles. In their view, Xuanwu State was too weak to compete with the other five great states, and participating was just for show anyway!
To this teasing, Ye Fan remained very calm, without a trace of anger, his face was inscrutable, revealing no indication of his thoughts!
“Hmm? Why is there a wolf among the mbers from Xuanwu State? Could it be that there aren’t enough young talents in Xuanwu State, so they brought in a Xuan Beast to make up the numbers?”
In the crowd, the Bai Yan wolf was particularly eye-catching, with a body as big as a calf, extraordinarily majestic, especially its pair of white pupils, which were extrely rare in the world.
“Boom…”
This remark instantly drew a roar of laughter from the onlookers, an unconcealed scorn for Xuanwu State!
“Bastard!”
Tong Qianchen’s pretty face turned red, tightly clenching her fists. As a mber of Xuanwu State, being looked down upon like this annoyed her sowhat.
“Junior Sister Tong, don’t be agitated, no need to lower yourself to the level of dogs!” Shen Tu gave a wry smile, deliberately speaking loudly to Tong Qianchen.
“Hey kid, who are you calling a dog?” Soone in the crowd angrily asked Shen Tu.
“Who responds, that’s who! Uneducated fool, is this what your master taught you?” Shen Tu, unwilling to be outdone, imdiately retorted.
“Alright, alright, I’ll rember you, old man!”
The man was seething with anger but couldn’t act against a competition mber in public; otherwise, he couldn’t bear the wrath of the two academies!
Before the competition, no one is allowed to lay hands on the participants, or there will be severe punishnt; it’s an unwritten rule over the years, and he dared not challenge the two academies’ authority.
“Why are you keeping tabs on ? I’m not a ‘Rabbit’, and even if I were, I wouldn’t be interested in soone as unlovable and unwanted as you!”
After hanging out with the Bai Yan wolf for a while, Shen Tu didn’t make much progress in cultivation, but his trash-talking skills sure improved trendously.
“Kid, not bad, you’ve got my style!” Bai Yan wolf secretly transmitted to Shen Tu with divine consciousness.
“No way, compared to you, I’m far behind!” Shen Tu also flattered Bai Yan wolf using divine consciousness transmission.
“You…”
That person was so angered by Shen Tu’s words that he nearly spat blood, stamring out those words before falling silent.
At the sa ti, everyone else secretly shivered inside. Although it’s true that Xuanwu State has declined, nobody wants to squabble with them over trivial matters. Instead, they’re waiting to see Xuanwu State’s joke!
The square was divided into six zones, each labeled to correspond with the geniuses of each state. Each state’s genius naturally went to their designated zone.
Xuanwu State was placed at the very edge, which made its awkward standing among the Six Continents quite evident.
Dong!
A lodious bell rang, and two elderly n with graying hair ascended the stage. One wore a blue shirt and the other a purple costu, appearing to be around sixty years old.
But Ye Fan knew, in the Cultivation World, you can’t judge soone’s true age by their appearance.
Because, cultivators who are extrely powerful can completely revert to their youth, or even remain young forever!
“Hello everyone, I…”
Both old n started speaking simultaneously but imdiately exchanged glares, refusing to back down!
“I’ll speak first!”
Again, simultaneously!
The audience below watched the two esteed deputy deans squabbling like roosters, wanting to laugh but holding back with difficulty.
“Old Monster Zhou, are you deliberately opposing ?” the purple-robed elder snorted indignantly.
“Old Monster Lu, it was you who opposed first.” The blue-robed elder remained equally defiant, glaring fiercely.
“Old Monster Zhou, your Imperial Academy isn’t as good as my Immortal Academy; it’s undeniable. Staring won’t help, we have the ‘Immortal’ character!” The purple-robed elder smirked cunningly, using the ‘Immortal’ title to pressure the blue-robed elder.
“That’s nonsense, unbearable. There’s no such thing as immortals in this world; the Great Emperor is the pinnacle. Our Imperial Academy is stronger than your Immortal Academy indeed! Ask these competing youngsters, do they want to beco immortals or prove the Dao to beco Emperors?” The blue-robed elder was furious.
Is there any need to ask?
Immortals are too elusive; even the Great Emperor can’t beco immortal, let alone them. So becoming immortal is just an illusion, while the Great Emperor truly exists, being the top existence in this world.
No one doesn’t wish to prove the Dao to beco an Emperor.
As for becoming an immortal, that’s a legend!
Ultimately, neither elder convinced the other, so they both explained the rules for selecting seed contestants.
The selection of seed contestants is simple. Both academies will simultaneously dispatch a Lord Realm strong person to spar with the contestants, thereby evaluating their true combat power to select the eight best as seed contestants.
The arena is large, divided into eight areas for competition. The selection of seed contestants takes place in only two of these zones, visible to everyone.
“In my opinion, the so-called selection is already aningless. The three Saint Heirs and Qing Zi are undoubtedly among the eight seed contestants.
For the remaining five, Spirit Manor’s Saint Heir and Treasure Pavilion’s Saint Heir each occupy one slot, Prince Jueluo is sure to rank among the eight seed contestants.
That leaves just two spots. Bazhou’s Tianqi Sect and Tianhe Sect’s Saint Heir will undoubtedly occupy one, and the Feng Family’s strongest heir is certainly among them.”
Even before the selection began, soone made this prediction, sparking a chorus of agreent.
Swoosh!
The next mont, all eyes were on the eight people.
anwhile, at the edge of the square, Ye Fan maintained a calm expression.
“Hey, a bunch of dumb beasts!”
Bai Yan wolf secretly sneered, mockingly scanning the eight.
