"How will we know if we don’t try?" Ji Tianyu smiled slightly and then turned to leave.
Ji Tianyu’s maturity beyond his years left Ye Haochuan sowhat unaccustod. However, he was rather looking forward to seeing how far Ji Tianyu would grow in the future.
His four matches for the day had concluded, and Ye Haochuan didn’t linger any longer, intending to check out a few other arenas.
The arenas for those under twenty years old had already finished due to fewer participants.
It was likely because of this reason that Ji Tianyu had the leisurely ti to co and watch at Ye Haochuan’s location.
Shortly after Ye Haochuan finished his matches, Zhu Wenjing also ca over. On the nearby arena, Liu Sheng happened to be competing.
Ye Haochuan had taken the ti to observe earlier; Liu Sheng had been lucky today, mostly encountering cultivators at the Core Formation Early Stage. This last opponent was a bit tricky, as they both were at the Core Formation Mid-Stage.
Liu Sheng’s talent wasn’t weak; he had already beco proficient at using the Sky Shattering Roar he bought last night. Using this cultivation technique, he easily defeated several Core Formation Early Stage cultivators earlier.
But against this cultivator of the sa Core Formation Mid-Stage, his Sky Shattering Roar didn’t make much headway.
"Co on, Liu Sheng!" Zhu Wenjing encouraged from below the stage.
Liu Sheng had already noticed Ye Haochuan and the others, but due to the intense battle, he couldn’t spare the effort to greet them.
At this mont, Liu Sheng was panting heavily, clearly having expended a lot of energy.
"To have such battle strength without arms, I truly admire you," his opponent suddenly advised, "Give up, you can’t win against . I don’t want to harm soone I admire!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan developed a bit of a favorable impression of this person.
He couldn’t help but recall and found that this person was indeed listed in the booklet.
This person was nad Xun Jia and was a disciple of a small family, with notable combat strength, marked as three stars.
"Thanks for your kindness, but I won’t give up so easily!" Liu Sheng laughed.
Saying this, he suddenly let out a fierce shout, and his aura burst forth. The two empty sleeves suddenly began to fill out.
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, the sleeves tore open, revealing two burly arms.
"This...?" Everyone was amazed, having never seen arms grow in such a manner.
"Watch out, this is my true power!" Liu Sheng warned, drawing out his longsword and slowly standing upright.
"Sword Destroying Star!"
A massive sword blade shot skyward and swiftly slashed down. With the imnse divine power on his robust arms, this strike was incredibly powerful.
"He’s actually mastered it?" Even Ye Haochuan was taken aback.
Liu Sheng’s talent truly impressed him.
In a single night, he mastered two Treasure-Level Techniques. Such speed couldn’t match Ye Haochuan’s, but compared to others, it was indeed extraordinary. Presumably, even the so-called five great talents were not much more than this.
This once again proved that it’s not that there aren’t talents in the secular world, but rather due to limited resources, they aren’t easily discovered as in the Sub-Shaking Dinsion Realm.
On the arena, Xun Jia was clearly shocked by Liu Sheng’s transformation. Seeing Liu Sheng’s attack, he didn’t dare to be careless and quickly unleashed a massive sword qi, evidently hoping to attack back in defense.
Unfortunately, in front of the massive sword blade, this sword qi seed fragile and was shattered instantly.
Seeing himself about to be cleaved in two by the sword blade, Xun Jia’s face showed so panic.
Fortunately, the sword blade suddenly stopped a few inches above his head.
Xun Jia was panting heavily, evidently intimidated by Liu Sheng’s earlier montum.
"You win!" Xun Jia said with a smile to Liu Sheng, face devoid of any resentnt.
Liu Sheng smiled in return, swiftly dispersing the sword blade along with his arms. The effort of manifesting those arms for just a few seconds had already made him feel noticeably fatigued. This arm-manifesting ability would certainly need to be used sparingly in the future.
After the host announced the result, Liu Sheng didn’t imdiately leave the stage but instead chatted with Xun Jia for a bit before leaving together.
"You... Are you Ye Haochuan?" Xun Jia said in a bit of surprise when he saw Ye Haochuan.
Evidently, Xun Jia also purchased the booklet from Tingfeng Pavilion.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed; the sensation of being recognized everywhere might seem cool but definitely cut down on the fun of playing the underdog and spectacularly surprising others.
"What? You know our alliance master?" Liu Sheng asked, unaware of the booklet situation.
"Mysterious expert, of course I know!" Xun Jia laughed, "You may not know this, but quite a few people are keeping an eye on your alliance master, and so have even placed bets on whether Alliance Master Ye can stand alongside the five great talents!"
"I didn’t know he was that amazing?" Zhu Wenjing said skeptically.
Xun Jia bitterly smiled, "Among the younger generation, those who can withstand a strike from the Righteous Venerable are probably only the top three of the five great talents. If Alliance Master Ye can achieve this, wouldn’t you call it amazing?"
The top three among the five great talents naturally referred to Ye Xiao, Long Keyue, and Ku Hai. As for Ji Tianyu and Ji Tianye, although they were also among the five great talents, they were undoubtedly younger and only just reached the Core Formation stage, therefore, not on par with the top three.
"To be honest, I bet twenty thousand Spirit Crystals that Alliance Master Ye can rival the five great talents!" Xun Jia continued.
Heh, turns out we’ve found a fan!
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Where’s this betting pool? I want to place a bet too!"
"The betting pool is just outside the venue. If you’d like to go, I can take you there right now!" Xun Jia exclaid excitedly.
"Just at the entrance, how convenient." Ye Haochuan had said it casually, but since it was right at the entrance, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.
anwhile, Langfan and Ke Yan walked over dejectedly. Evidently, they hadn’t made it to the next round.
Ye Haochuan had taken the ti to watch their matches, and compared to Liu Sheng, their talent was slightly weaker. The cultivation techniques they bought yesterday, along with the Seven-Stage Rainbow and Eight-Level Palm from Ye Haochuan, neither had mastered them.
Today’s competition selected the top one hundred fifty from all of Xuann. Among them, fifty were under twenty years of age, and one hundred were over twenty.
Langfan and Ke Yan, after all, were only at the Core Formation Early Stage, and to persist through three rounds in today’s competition was already quite comndable. Losing in the last round was within expectations.
At this point, among them, only Ye Haochuan and Liu Sheng made it to the next round. Of course, there was also Zhu Wenjing from the under twenty group, who, again not disappointing, passed today’s trials.
The group composed themselves and left the venue with Xun Jia.
Just as Xun Jia said, right outside the venue, there indeed was a table set up, with a flag next to it, not with the word "bet" inscribed, but Tingfeng Pavilion’s na on it.
Damn, Tingfeng Pavilion really wants to make money on everything!
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly and walked over.
