Capítulo 2160: Chapter 2159: Instant Cultivation, Everyone Stunned
Seeing that he had garnered public support, Murong Xi imagined Xu Zii would find it difficult to back down.
However, turning his head, he saw Xu Zii with a calm expression, seemingly indifferent to the situation at hand.
This made Murong Xi even more furious.
He looked at City Lord Sikong Lian and asked, “City Lord Sikong, what do you think?”
Sikong Lian was also hesitant, caught in a dilemma.
He glanced at Murong Jiankong.
Only to hear Murong Jiankong laugh and say, “In my opinion, it’s better to see what Young Master Xu thinks.”
“See if he dares to accept the challenge. If he doesn’t, then let’s not force him.”
Although Murong Jiankong’s words seed to give Xu Zii a way out,
in reality, there was an elent of provoking him.
After all, in front of such a large audience, which young person can afford to lose face?
If he lost face, Xu Zii would probably no longer be able to compete with Murong Xi over this assessnt’s outco.
……
The crowd turned their gaze to Xu Zii, quietly waiting for his response.
Xu Zii simply found it childish.
The two of them seed never to belong to the sa level.
However, he wouldn’t indulge the other party.
So he said, “If you want to compete, then let’s compete, although my life is far more valuable than yours.”
“But with the outco already destined, there’s nothing much to expect.”
“Such arrogance,” Murong Xi snorted disdainfully.
He said, “City Lord Sikong, arrange the second round of the assessnt as soon as possible. I really want to see what he’s capable of.”
Although there were many people in line this ti, the efficiency of the City Lord Mansion was also very high.
In basically half a day, over a hundred people were selected from tens of thousands.
Out of ten thousand people, only just over a hundred were virgin.
This probability could be said to be one percent.
After a hundred people ca out, Sikong Lian originally intended to let everyone rest for a night.
To conduct the assessnt the next day.
But Murong Xi insisted on competing today, and the crowd was also very enthusiastic.
Each wanted to finish the assessnt quickly, then watch the show.
While everyone didn’t know Xu Zii’s status, so people recognized Murong Xi.
“Isn’t this Murong Xi the prospective Saint Heir of the Baori Sect?”
“Should be right, didn’t you see the person sitting next to the City Lord?”
“That should be Murong Jiankong, the most talented individual in recent history at the Baori Sect.”
The crowd buzzed with discussions.
So were watching the spectacle, while others looked at Xu Zii with a pessimistic glance.
……
When everyone’s assessnt had ended,
it was ti for the second assessnt.
Before this, no one knew what the second assessnt entailed.
But when Steward Zhou announced it, it was as if the scene exploded.
“Competing on the talent for cultivating ice or water attribute cultivation techniques.”
The ice attribute, in the Blazing Fla Realm, was simply running counter to the general trend.
“What does the City Lord an by this? If you don’t want to choose a groom, just say so. Isn’t this deliberately making things difficult for people?”
“I’m a Fire Tribe mber, what’s the point of cultivating an ice attribute technique?”
“Under the ten suns in the sky, cultivating ice attribute techniques in this world is courting death.”
“Everyone calm down,” Sikong Lian had to step forward and say.
After all, with so many people clamoring, without an explanation, it wouldn’t do.
He replied, “I didn’t an to deliberately make things difficult for everyone, but there are special reasons.”
“Why don’t you all think carefully, if there weren’t special reasons, why would I publicly seek a groom?”
“No matter how bad things are for , Sikong Lian, I wouldn’t be in such a rush to marry off my daughter.”
“Those who don’t wish to participate, we won’t force you.”
Hearing Sikong Lian had spoken, many opposing voices suddenly grew quieter.
“Since the City Lord has said so, then I’ll give it a try.”
“It’s just that we’ve never cultivated ice attribute techniques, don’t know whether it will harm us.”
So were worried and ultimately withdrew.
Others wanted to seek prosperity amidst danger, hoping that if they succeeded,
At this ti, Steward Zhou took out a hundred copies of the cultivation technique.
These techniques were all printed copies.
On the cover of the technique were the big words “Ice Sea.”
“This technique was obtained by after expending a great deal of effort,” Sikong Lian personally explained.
“If none of you have cultivated ice attribute techniques before, I don’t recomnd trying it.”
“This Ice Sea absorbs the extrely cold energy, condensing an Ice Sea inside the body.”
“The vastness of the sea is boundless; naturally, the Ice Sea has no end.”
Upon hearing Sikong Lian’s explanation of the technique, soone questioned, “City Lord, we Fire Tribe mbers are naturally repelled by ice.”
“If the Ice Sea grows larger, wouldn’t the harm to oneself increase as well?”
“That’s the truth, so I said, those who have never cultivated ice attribute techniques, it’s better not to try,” Sikong Lian replied.
In any case, before cultivating, he clearly explained the pros and cons.
Whether others listened or not, if they crippled themselves, it wasn’t his concern.
……
At this point, soone realized,
looking at Xu Zii, they discussed, “He’s from the human race, he doesn’t have such strong resistance to ice as we Fire Tribe mbers.”
“Doesn’t that an he has an advantage, Sikong Xi is bound to lose?”
“Not necessarily, look, Sikong Xi hasn’t reacted at all; it shows he was already prepared.”
At this mont, Sikong Xi stood on the high platform, hands behind his back, seemingly already aware of the assessnt’s content.
As for who leaked it, it no longer mattered.
……
Because the second assessnt was so rigorous, out of over a hundred, only about twenty people were willing to participate.
After all, winning or losing the competition was not important; the important thing was the harm the ice attribute technique could bring to oneself, which was irreversible.
These twenty people sat atop the high platform, each with the Ice Sea cultivation technique placed in front of them.
Steward Zhou announced, “The assessnt is to cultivate this Ice Sea; this technique is extrely rare, I believe none of you have cultivated it before.”
“The competition focuses on two aspects.”
“Who cultivates the fastest, and who cultivates to the most profound level.”
As Steward Zhou spoke, he lit three sticks of incense.
“After the three sticks of incense burn, we will begin timing until they burn out.”
“Have you all understood?” Steward Zhou asked.
“Understood,” the crowd quickly replied.
At this mont, the first stick of incense was already lit.
The rest of the audience couldn’t wait to start browsing the technique.
This cultivation technique doesn’t necessarily need to be practiced in haste.
Moreover, first, comprehend the technique, then ticulously perceive it, and cultivation would yield twice the result with half the effort.
Murong Xi gave Xu Zii a provocative look.
He had just opened the technique.
Only to see Xu Zii suddenly stand up.
“I think I’m about done cultivating.”
As soon as he said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Brother, you haven’t even browsed the technique, what are you cultivating?” soone beside him reminded.
“Cultivation isn’t about using the eyes, but the heart,” Xu Zii said with a faint smile.
“The vastness of the Ice Sea is endless, and in fact, it’s not difficult.”
