So it turns out that he ranked first among all those under eighteen in this martial arts competition for marriage.
The Guanghan Heavenly Palace has divided the entrants into four different age groups.
The first group consists of young participants under eighteen years of age (including eighteen).
At that ti, so people questioned the rationality of this first group division, wondering if the Guanghan Heavenly Palace Master's daughter would really fancy a teenager.
When these doubts were voiced to the Guanghan Heavenly Palace, a reply that anything is possible was given, imdiately silencing those skeptics.
The second group comprises those over eighteen years of age (excluding eighteen), yet under twenty (including twenty).
The third group includes contesters over twenty years of age (excluding twenty), yet under twenty-five (excluding twenty-five).
And the fourth group is for those participants over the age of twenty-five (including twenty-five).
"My heavens! What on earth is the Guanghan Heavenly Palace trying to do? It's so incredibly complicated!"
Duan Gujin couldn't help feeling speechless inside, thinking that the rules of this martial arts competition for marriage were really too nurous.
Of course, he wasn't interested in participating in the competition; what he needed to do was to keep a close eye on the youths who entered here, looking for the assassin infiltrators from the Assassin Dynasty.
And Cao Wentian secured first place in the preliminary round of the first age group on the first day, naturally making him extrely proud.
"Nowadays, which woman does not fancy a handso and wealthy young man? Rumour has it that Shang Yumin is nearly twenty years old now; she should prefer younger n! Besides, young n are strong in martial arts, which all won like!"
Cao Wentian was delightfully thinking this in his heart.
He knew that she was a few years older than him, but he didn't mind the slight age difference; he even believed that Shang Yumin would like a young man like him even more.
"I wonder where that Duan Gujin is right now in the Guanghan Heavenly Palace. If he also joins this competition, I will definitely beat him up badly, I want to beat him so hard that even his mother won't recognize him!"
Although the Assassin Dynasty had suffered heavy setbacks, they had still managed to gather quite a bit of crucial intelligence before; they found out that Duan Gujin had appeared in the Guanghan Heavenly Palace.
But what exactly is the relationship between Duan Gujin and the Guanghan Heavenly Palace, that's sothing the people from the Assassin Dynasty just can't figure out.
During this period, the Assassin Dynasty and the Netherworld Sect have almost been eradicated by martial artists across the world.
They no longer dare to blatantly gather intelligence, therefore, they know not much about the current situation of Duan Gujin and the Guanghan Heavenly Palace.
Thinking back on the scenes of being bullied in the past, the current Cao Wentian felt that he would no longer have to suffer the humiliation from others, now that he is a bona fide Ninth Layer Martial Monarch.
He believes that with such cultivation, he is definitely a devilish presence among the younger generation.
After much investigation, he finally found out about Duan Gujin's current cultivation level.
"Even that devil Duan Gujin is rely at the Martial Monarch First Layer right now, while I have already reached the Ninth Layer Martial Monarch!"
Recalling the humiliations he suffered over these days, Cao Wentian's heart was filled with sorrow and anger, knowing that he had achieved today's accomplishnts only after being abused nurous tis by the old hags of the Assassin Dynasty.
"Was it easy for ?"
Thinking back about his past misfortunes, he just wanted to cry out loud.
But luckily, he no longer needs to cry out from now on.
Because he found the Sky Crossing Demon King and has made an alliance with it.
He even slipped sedatives into the water of those old won, making them all pass out, before presenting them as a fine feast for the Sky Crossing Demon King's mouth.
The reason why the Sky Crossing Demon King fled into the hideout where he and those old won were, was because it had obtained a map of the Assassin Dynasty from Han Zhanyi.
And within certain nests of the Assassin Dynasty, there were arrays set up to shield from Divine Sense Inspections.
To avoid the Palace Master's demon-seeking treasure, the Sky Crossing Demon King deliberately concealed all of its Life Aura and remained motionless. Furthermore, it fled to the site of the best Defensive Magic Array against Divine Sense set up by the Assassin Dynasty, thus managing to evade the Demon Seeking Compass's detection.
The Sky Crossing Demon King had dealt with Guanghan Heavenly Palace before and knew that within it housed a treasure called the Demon Seeking Compass.
Therefore, it did everything possible to avoid detection by the Demon Seeking Compass, lest the treasure sense its approximate location.
Because the Sky Crossing Demon King was well prepared, the Palace Master and Shang Yumin have been unable to use the Demon Seeking Compass to locate it until now.
Cao Wentian, who collaborated with the Sky Crossing Demon King, learned through the Assassin Dynasty's informants that Guanghan Heavenly Palace was hosting a Martial Arts Competition.
Although he found Guanghan Heavenly Palace's actions very strange, he saw this as a great opportunity to gather intelligence and hence set off for Guanghan Heavenly Palace.
And his plan was also approved by the Sky Crossing Demon King.
Ever since Cao Wentian set eyes on Shang Yumin, he beca utterly distracted.
In his heart, the old won of the Assassin Dynasty had disgust him to the extre.
Just thinking about their bark-like skin was enough to make him almost vomit again, and he almost lost the ability to handle his affairs because of this.
It could be said that before he t the Sky Crossing Demon King, his previous situation was no different from being in hell.
"My youth is finally coming back!"
Upon seeing Shang Yumin, he imdiately perked up, regaining his forr youthful vigor.
Now, most of the n wandering around Guanghan Heavenly Palace were of similar age to him, his rivals in love, but in Cao Wentian's eyes, they were just a bunch of diocre nothings.
In the eyes of Cao Wentian, he had no regard for his peers of the young generation of Martial Artists.
Although he had never been to large sects like the Green Cloud Sect, he knew that the power of the Assassin Dynasty was in so ways even stronger than that sect.
And after all his hard Cultivation, he believed that with his current level of Cultivation, he could completely dominate his peers, and even those a year or two older than him.
What worried him the most now was that this Martial Arts Competition had no age limit, which ca as a huge shock to him.
He feared unexpected situations might arise, such as the appearance of a very powerful elder.
Even though his Cultivation could crush his peers, he definitely couldn't defeat those much older than him.
Therefore, before coming here, he found an excuse to ask the Sky Crossing Demon King for a Treasure.
And the Sky Crossing Demon King also wanted to take this opportunity to have him gauge the true power of Guanghan Heavenly Palace.
So, Cao Wentian obtained a Treasure from the Sky Crossing Demon King.
As long as he recited the Spell, within a certain ti fra, the Treasure could summon the Sky Crossing Demon King to his side to help him repel strong enemies, or aid him in making a swift escape.
The Sky Crossing Demon King was willing to lend its imnse support to Cao Wentian because it valued his strength.
It wanted to cultivate Cao Wentian properly, hoping he would beco a powerful ally in the future.
Moreover, if it truly managed to cultivate Cao Wentian successfully, then once it took over his body, it would no longer need to gradually cultivate to improve its own strength.
