Chapter 1791 Wan Chuan Sect, well done!
The potential assessment segment ended abruptly after Mingchuan's stunning display of spatial abilities.
Although Fairy Yueyao's expression remained unchanged, the coldness deep in her eyes became increasingly apparent.
Her meticulously designed scheme, intended to highlight the superiority of the Holy Domain and subtly select her prey, was unexpectedly torn open by Mingchuan and the disciples of Wanchuan Sect.
In particular, Mingchuan's superb spatial control not only shocked the entire audience, but also deepened her fear.
This child's growth rate far exceeds expectations!
"Next, we will have the competition among the elites." Fairy Yueyao's cool voice suppressed the remaining exclamations and discussions in the arena. "The foundation of cultivation lies in enlightenment, but even more so in actual combat. A hundred arenas are ready. All cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage may step onto the stage to compete, make friends through martial arts, and verify what they have learned."
She paused, her gaze seemingly sweeping across Mingchuan's direction: "To add to the fun and to encourage talent, Longyin Temple has set up the Cloud Ascension Ranking. Those who win three consecutive matches during the competition can be listed on the ranking. The one who ultimately ranks first will not only receive a generous reward from the Holy Domain, but will also be given... a Void Secret Realm access token."
Upon hearing this, many young cultivators in the audience, especially geniuses from the outer realms and the Holy Realm, had their eyes instantly blazing with fervent light!
Void Realm!
That's the top-tier trial ground controlled by the Holy Domain's Dragon Roar Temple, a legendary place containing fragments of spatial laws and ancient treasures! Spots are extremely rare, even many core disciples within the Holy Domain struggle to obtain them!
The allure of this reward is far greater than any previous promise!
"Heh, they've really gone all out," Mingchuan thought with a cold laugh.
The Void Realm Token was something that even he found somewhat tempting.
But Yueyao's purpose in throwing this out now is definitely not just to encourage.
She wants to motivate all talented young geniuses to give their all and be filled with excitement under the incentive of generous rewards!
And this is precisely the best time for the Soul-Locking Array below to be quietly activated and for the imprinting catalyst to be created!
"A clever plan." Mingchuan transmitted his voice to Ah Xiong and Zhao Hu behind him, "Tell all the disciples of the Battle Hall that if they go on stage, they should stop when they have made a move. Victory or defeat is secondary. They must guard their minds and be wary of being secretly eroded. Pay special attention when their spiritual power is at its peak and their minds are in turmoil, as the formation is most likely to take advantage of this weakness."
"Understood!" Ah Xiong and Zhao Hu responded solemnly and quietly relayed the order to every disciple of the Battle Hall.
Soon, figures flew up one after another onto the hundred floating arenas.
Most of the time, geniuses from the Holy Domain and the Outer Domain took the stage first, challenging each other to battle or specifically challenging cultivators from the Spirit Domain.
The battle breaks out instantly!
A burst of spiritual light flashed, spells roared, and the sounds of magical artifacts clashing were incessant.
The geniuses from the Holy Domain and the Outer Domain were indeed powerful, with exquisite techniques and powerful magic weapons, and they quickly gained the upper hand.
Many of the Spirit Realm cultivators who took to the stage were defeated after only a short time, their faces ashen.
On the viewing platform, the laughter and chatter of the Saint Realm cultivators gradually increased, and their gazes toward the Spirit Realm held an undisguised air of superiority and disdain.
"The Spirit Realm... is ultimately a bit too shallow in its foundation."
"I've heard that the Wan Chuan Sect has some skill, but unfortunately, I don't seem to dare to step onto the stage?"
"Heh, that spatial magic was indeed amazing, but the sect leader can't personally spar with a junior, can he? If a disciple is not good enough, he is ultimately just all show and no substance."
Although the murmurs were low, they clearly reached the ears of the cultivators in the Spirit Realm, causing many to blush with embarrassment, yet they were powerless to refute them.
Fairy Yueyao sat calmly on the high platform, her expression serene, as if everything was within her expectations.
Her gaze occasionally swept over Mingchuan, who was resting with his eyes closed. Seeing that he seemed indifferent to the situation below the stage, she sneered inwardly: "Pretentious. Once my Holy Domain's prodigies sweep the arena, let's see how your Wanchuan Sect will have any face left to stand on!"
Just as the Holy Domain's arrogance was growing, a composed figure once again leaped onto the arena.
"Spirit Realm, Wan Chuan Sect Battle Hall, Zhao Hu." Zhao Hu clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice booming, "Please enlighten me."
His opponent was a Foundation Establishment Peak disciple from a mid-sized sect in the Saint Realm, wielding a chillingly sharp ice crystal longsword. Upon seeing Zhao Hu step onto the stage, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes:
"Wan Chuan Sect? Is that the same sect that used a secret method to activate the jade tablet? Such opportunistic people dare to step onto the stage?"
Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged; he simply drew a seemingly ordinary standard-issue longsword from his waist: "Please."
"You're courting death!" the disciple from the Holy Domain shouted coldly. With a flick of his longsword, it instantly transformed into a sky full of ice crystal sword shadows, the chilling aura enveloping the entire arena!
This move immediately revealed his solid foundation and exquisite swordsmanship, drawing nods of approval from many.
However, faced with this fierce offensive, Zhao Hu did not retreat but advanced instead!
He took a step, the arena floor trembled slightly, and he crashed into the sword shadows like a cannonball!
The long sword in his hand was devoid of any fancy moves; it was just a simple vertical slash!
The blade moved with fierce force, carrying a brutal killing intent reminiscent of bloodshed on the battlefield!
boom!
As the swords clashed, most of the icy sword shadows shattered instantly!
The disciple of the Holy Domain felt an unparalleled force coming towards him. His tiger's mouth split open, his long sword almost slipped from his hand, and he was shaken backward, his blood churning inside his body, his face filled with horror!
Zhao Hu pressed his advantage relentlessly, his long sword following like a shadow, unleashing a second and third strike in quick succession!
Each strike was faster and heavier than the last!
There are no fancy moves, only the purest power, speed and ferocity!
The disciple of the Holy Domain barely managed to withstand the third blow, but ultimately could not hold on any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood, flew off the stage, and landed heavily on the ground, unconscious.
Three strikes, and the enemy is defeated!
The whole place fell silent.
Zhao Hu sheathed his sword, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "You flatter me."
Immediately, he glanced at the other Saint Realm cultivators below the stage: "Zhao Hu of the Wanchuan Sect requests to fight."
The crowd was filled with anger and excitement, but mostly they were annoyed by Zhao Hu's calm attitude!
After a brief silence, another Saint Realm Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator leaped onto the arena. This time, he came from a sect famous for its body refinement. He was nine feet tall, with bulging muscles, like an iron tower.
"Don't be so arrogant! I'll deal with you!"
However, the outcome of the battle was no different.
Zhao Hu's sword is still concise, swift, and domineering!
No matter how strong or skillful the opponent's physique, he always overcame their skill with brute force and their slowness with speed!
Within ten moves, the towering man's protective aura was cleaved away by a single slash, leaving a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain on his chest, and he was defeated.
Two consecutive wins!
The third challenger was a female cultivator from the Holy Domain who was skilled in illusion and movement techniques. Her movements were elusive, like a ghost, and she attempted to win through skill.
Zhao Hu simply closed his eyes and relied solely on his divine sense and fighting instincts to cope.
No matter your myriad illusions, I will shatter them all with a single blade!
After another ten moves, the female cultivator was struck by the wind from the blade, let out a muffled groan, and fell to the edge of the platform, her face pale.
Three consecutive wins!
"On the Cloud Ranking, number ninety-seven, Zhao Hu from the Spirit Realm's Myriad Rivers Sect!" The Dragon Roar Temple steward, responsible for recording the list, announced the name loudly.
The sound echoed, and the cultivators in the Spirit Realm finally erupted in a long-suppressed cheer!
"it is good!"
"Brother Zhao is awesome!"
"Well done, Wan Chuan Sect!!!"
