The next day, the registration for the East Continent competition officially began.
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang set out together to the disciple courtyard to register.
The entire registration process lasts for three days and will end after that.
Generally, competitions involving the whole continent are hosted by the Four Great Sects.
On one hand, it’s because the Four Great Sects are the strongest.
On the other hand, it’s because the Four Great Sects are the wealthiest.
Such grand events are beyond the capability of ordinary sects; if they want the lilight, they need to see how much money they actually have.
Today, the disciple courtyard was exceptionally lively.
The number of outer sect disciples registering was particularly high.
For Daoist disciples, this competition was very convenient, as it was hosted by their own sect and in their own territory.
The East Continent is vast, and if the competition were hosted by the other three sects, ordinary Daoist disciples would not even consider participating.
Since they cannot fly, long travels are ti-consuming and difficult, only to end up being defeated by others, it’s not worth it.
When Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang appeared, so outer sect disciples recognized them.
But due to a lack of information, the crowd didn’t regard them as the top seed contenders.
While queuing, listening to the chatter around them, they silently rembered so nas; these were the famous First Realm disciples in the outer sect, considered top talents of this generation, all having reached First Realm Great Perfection.
Among them, several possessed Upper Grade Spiritual Embryos, and even one with a Ninth Level Upper Grade Spiritual Embryo!
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang observed keenly, picking up useful information.
They learned that not only were there extraordinary talents among this generation of Daoist disciples, but the sa was true for the other three sects.
There was a sense of a grand age erging.
"In a world on the brink of a major disaster, it’s normal for heroes to erge," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.
But this also ant that competition in this East Continent competition would be extrely fierce.
Of course, the rewards were also quite generous.
As long as you rank within the top one hundred, there are rewards.
The higher the rank, the better the prize.
Apart from the champion’s prize provided by the Daoist Sect, all other rewards were co-sponsored by the Four Great Sects.
Because the entire East Continent competition was initiated by the Four Great Sects jointly.
As the organizer, the Daoist Sect was already considered as "overburdened with labor",
Yet, they still took responsibility for the champion’s prize, which was seen by outsiders as quite generous.
This led many Daoist disciples to joke: "We must take the champion position, at least keeping these resources in the hands of the Daoist people."
"Yes, the champion can choose any Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact from the Treasure Pavilion, plus any Seventh Level Upper Grade Spirit Pill, and also freely select any Second Realm Cultivation Technique from the Library Pavilion."
"Any one of these three rewards is a supre treasure to us!"
This made the Daoist sect talents eager to defend their sect’s resources.
Chu Huaixu could not stop smiling to the point of his mouth reaching his ears, he was so happy.
He had received a system task, as long as he continued to advance in the East Continent competition, he would constantly receive various task rewards.
Now, with the addition of the Daoist Sect’s prizes, multiple incentives were combined, and he naturally wanted to go all out.
"Everything is for the honor of the Daoist Sect!" he thought to himself.
"Greater power cos with greater responsibility!"
After registration, the two walked ho side by side.
"You’re at First Realm Seventh Heaven now, right?" Chu Huaixu asked.
"Yes." The Big Ice Cube nodded.
He estimated that by the ti the East Continent competition officially began, Han Shuangjiang would break through to Eighth Heaven.
Then, during the competition, reach First Realm Great Perfection!
If he recalled correctly, among the four world protagonists, the Big Ice Cube’s realm breakthrough speed was always the fastest.
The characteristics of the Profound Yin Body and the Pure Yang Body of the Dao Ancestor are similar, most notably appearing not to have bottlenecks, advancing rapidly in cultivation.
However, the Pure Yang Body must maintain untouched Primordial Yang, is there sothing special required for the Profound Yin Body?
At this mont, Han Shuangjiang looked at Chu Huaixu and asked, "Why hasn’t your realm improved lately?"
"Take a guess." Chu Huaixu replied teasingly.
The cold-faced girl did not guess, just looked at him coldly.
Feeling uninteresting, Chu Huaixu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, a Super Grade Spiritual Embryo? I’m rely a Fourth Level Middle Grade Spiritual Embryo, okay?"
"You’re different from ordinary people, your cultivation speed was faster than mine previously," Han Shuangjiang found this explanation unconvincing.
The Dead Fox’s previously playful smile instantly vanished.
His tone sunk, and he spoke slowly: "Alright, since you’re asking, I’ll tell you then."
Soon, he gave an answer that made the girl’s heart tremble.
"I have comprehended Sword Intent."
...
...
With an autumn breeze passing, the aura surrounding Chu Huaixu instantly changed!
Han Shuangjiang watched him, feeling like the person standing before her was not a man, but a... unsheathed sword!
Sharp and aggressive, ready to strike.
Even she, who possessed Reincarnation Sword Intent, couldn’t help but feel a chill, as if facing a formidable enemy!
She didn’t know what kind of sword intent Chu Huaixu had comprehended.
But she felt she had received a satisfactory explanation.
No wonder there hasn’t been a realm breakthrough recently; it turns out she was comprehending Sword Dao and actually realized Sword Intent!
She was able to cultivate Reincarnation Sword Intent, mainly relying on fortune.
If it weren’t for the Second Generation Observatory Master’s generous teaching from his Sword Domain, how could she, a sword cultivator who just got a spirit sword from the mountain, possibly generate Sword Intent?
"Did he figure it all out by himself?" Han Shuangjiang wondered.
Such Sword Dao comprehension can only be described as terrifying!
Chu Huaixu was very satisfied with the Big Ice Cube’s reaction.
After completing Shen Man’s trial, he gained another point in comprehension, which is now at [Comprehension 4], matching his [Physique].
But in fact, right now he is using [Comprehension 4] to pretend to be [Comprehension 10].
"Although Fearless Sword Intent sounds ordinary, I can sense that its stature shouldn’t be low."
"However, many things can only be proven in actual combat."
Chu Huaixu was increasingly looking forward to the upcoming East Continent competition.
With this thought, he looked at Han Shuangjiang and said, "For you and , the East Continent competition is actually a very good training."
"Our practical combat experience is too limited."
"Especially you."
"Up to now, you could say you’ve only sparred with ."
"But sparring and real combat are different."
"Cultivation isn’t about working behind closed doors; possessing cultivation without practice is useless."
Han Shuangjiang nodded and said, "I understand this point."
The two continued to chat as they walked, and on the way ho, they t an old acquaintance.
Outer Sect Steward Niu Yuanshan had indeed been extrely busy lately.
This hardworking Ox was responsible for the most tedious work, being diligent and dedicated without complaints.
These days in the Outer Sect, his busy figure was often seen.
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang observed him, only feeling as if he exuded exhaustion.
"Truly a conscientious steward," the Big Ice Cube thought.
"Truly a devoted spy," the Dead Fox thought.
No one could find any fault with him whatsoever.
The two of them imdiately bowed to Niu Yuanshan: "Disciple greets Steward Niu."
Old Niu, upon seeing them, seed to have so of his fatigue dissipate.
He remained as he always was, with a warm smile.
His thick eyebrows, big eyes, and square face made him appear as a righteous and responsible elder.
"Huaixu, Shuangjiang, have you registered for the East Continent competition?" he asked with a smile.
"We’ve just returned from the Disciple Courtyard, and it’s almost packed with people," Chu Huaixu responded.
Niu Yuanshan nodded and said, "It seems Steward Mo will be very busy then."
Since they hadn’t t for a while, and now the two juniors were entering the East Continent competition, Old Niu used Divine Sense to check their cultivation levels.
"First Realm Fourth Heaven, First Realm Seventh Heaven? Good, very good!" Steward Niu exclaid in surprise.
He knew Chu Huaixu had a poor spiritual embryo grade and didn’t expect his progress to be this fast, faster than expected.
As for Han Shuangjiang, it could only be described as frightening.
The Dead Fox, upon hearing this, imdiately showed his greedy nature.
"Now, there are task system rewards and leader prizes."
"Then, can I receive a task from the [organization] at Old Niu’s place?"
"Maybe the [organization] also hopes I can achieve a good ranking?"
"This would be killing three birds with one stone!"
Although he previously failed to secure a [faction task] from the [organization], he still wanted to give it a try.
Thus, he began to steer the conversation with Niu Yuanshan in this direction, going through the motions.
Sure enough, as they chatted, Old Niu soon looked at the two with an expectant gaze.
He said, "The East Continent competition is a grand event in the Profound Yellow Realm."
"By then, the Leader of the East Continent will inevitably face the Leader of the Western Continent in battle."
"Since this East Continent competition is hosted by our Daoist Sect, our Daoist disciples must strive to get a good ranking."
"I hope both of you can perform brilliantly in this competition."
After speaking, he first looked at Han Shuangjiang with a smile.
The young girl always respected Steward Niu, and solemnly nodded her head toward him.
Then, Niu Yuanshan’s gaze fell on Chu Huaixu, and the two exchanged glances.
They were extrely tacit, their eyes communicating, understanding without words.
Old Niu could see that the other party already understood his aning and would strive to make a mark in the East Continent competition, at least to secure a rank.
Then, as a spy, he would infiltrate all the way upwards!
Though neither spoke, a voice seed to echo in their ears.
—"Loyalty!"
However, despite Chu Huaixu being this "devout," the task system still showed no response.
This made him almost certain that he seed fated never to receive any [faction task] from the [organization].
"Why?"
