And when they saw the seventy-eight Foundation Establishment experts from the Archaic Alliance, they couldn't help but gulp. To them, any random Heavenly Dao Realm expert was enough of a deterrent. But with seventy-eight Foundation Establishment experts standing together, the pressure was enough to leave anyone dumbfounded.
They couldn't help but feel lucky that Lin Yi had come out to mediate the situation, otherwise all the practitioners in the mortal world would've been wiped out. The Archaic Alliance really was a force to be reckoned with!
Due to the previous conflicts and disturbances, the cultivators in the secular world didn't have a good impression of the Archaic Alliance. But now that they felt the difference in strength, they couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. If they joined the Archaic Alliance, they would have a chance to become a Heavenly Dao expert like these people. That would be a rare opportunity.
At this moment, everyone finally began to look forward to joining the Archaic Alliance. Originally, many of them were just here to go through the motions so that they wouldn't cause trouble for their sects or families. But now, they sincerely hoped that they would be chosen.
Under Lingshan's lead, the practitioners sat down in the square, waiting for the selection to begin. Lingshan, on the other hand, ran to Lin Yi's side, looking at Leng curiously. "Who's this?"
Lin Yi blushed, pinching his nose awkwardly. "This is Leng Leng, a disciple of the Snow Sword School of the Archaic Alliance. I told you guys before, she's one of us."
"One of us?" Lingshan paused, understanding quickly. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Yi, extending a hand to Leng Leng. "Nice to meet you, I'm Lingshan, the vice director of the mortal world's supernatural investigation department. I'm also one of this Big Playboy Radish's people. Please take care of me in the future."
"Big Playboy Radish …" Leng Leng giggled, grabbing Lingshan's hand and mimicking her, "Please take care of me in the future."
She had a cold personality, but she didn't push Lingshan away. After all, Lin Yi had told her about this two days ago, and the Archaic Jianghu was similar to Sky Class Island. It wouldn't be strange for a man as strong as Lin Yi to have many women. If Lin Yi didn't have any, she'd be suspicious of Lin Yi's sexual orientation.
As Lin Yi was having his family meeting, Xin Yijie had officially started the first round of selection. The rules were simple, the disciples from the Archaic sects would be chosen, and if the practitioners weren't chosen by any of the Archaic sects, they'd be eliminated and be sent home.
As for those who were chosen, they'd be able to stay and enter the second round. If they were talented enough to be chosen by a few Archaic sects, it'd be up to them.
The disciples sent by the Archaic sects weren't just there to make up the numbers, they were all elites. Otherwise, the Disciple Selection would be meaningless, and the Archaic Alliance would definitely use this opportunity to make things difficult for them. As a result, after the first round, there were thirty-three people left.
This result was far beyond Xin Yijie's expectations. The Archaic sects had very strict standards when it came to disciple selection. He'd expected seven or eight to pass the first round, and it'd be a good result. The common world was indeed full of talented people, and it was only because the qi in the air was too thin that it declined. Otherwise, their overall strength wouldn't be much weaker than the Archaic Alliance.
After sending away the failed practitioners, Xin Yijie was about to announce the rules of the second round of selection when Xue Jianfeng suddenly jumped out and shouted, "Wait, since this is the Disciple Selection that the Archaic Alliance and the common world have agreed on, the common world can't just handle it casually, right? Otherwise, where would the Archaic Alliance's face be?"
"There are thirty-three people left in the first round, and even your Snow Sword Sect has chosen four of them. How is this handling the matter?" Xin Yijie frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Having more people doesn't mean they're sincere. Martial Uncle Xin, let me ask you a question first. If someone becomes a Heaven Stage Full Cycle expert in the common world, is this person considered a talent with unlimited potential?" Xue Jianfeng asked with a deep meaning.
"Of course." Xin Yijie nodded. With the thin qi in the common world and the poor cultivation resources, it was at least a hundred times harder to reach Heaven Stage Full Cycle than it was in the Archaic Alliance. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one had unlimited potential.
"If the common world is really sincere, then shouldn't these people participate in the Disciple Selection? But as far as I know, there are still many Heaven Stage Full Cycle experts who aren't here today, and those people are his subordinates. Martial Uncle Xin, as the Martial Uncle leading the team, shouldn't you do something about it? "Xue Jianfeng pointed the spearhead at Lin Yi.
"This …" Xin Yijie looked at Lin Yi in a difficult position and didn't know how to answer. The Archaic Alliance and the common world were sincerely cooperating to hold this Disciple Selection. At least logically speaking, those Heaven Stage Full Cycle experts shouldn't be absent.
"Hehe, Xue Jianfeng, you really don't change. Last time, you suffered because of this. It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten the pain. Don't you have a good memory?" Lin Yi looked at Xue Jianfeng in an unfriendly manner.
The scene of him being one-sidedly trampled by Lin Yi was still vivid in his mind. Xue Jianfeng subconsciously took a few steps back in fear. After a while, he reacted with a flushed face and snorted coldly, "Hmph, this is the Archaic Alliance's territory. If you dare to act recklessly, you'll be challenging the Archaic Alliance in public. Everyone has the right to punish you!"
"This is Shennongjia. Since when did it become the Archaic Alliance's territory? But it seems that you still have a good memory. It seems that the beating last time wasn't in vain. " Lin Yi curled his lips with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. "There's a basic rule to this disciple's selection, and that's that it's fair and voluntary. It's up to the individual to decide whether they want to come or not. Otherwise, the selection would be meaningless. If you can't even understand that, then you really have a problem with your intelligence. Hurry up and find a place to top up, or you'll get a negative score." Lin Yi said.
