Ji Dong's words could be said to be impeccable. The strong preyed on the weak in the core world. Even though the leaders of the various clans who were preparing to participate had been disdainful when they saw that he was going to participate, they were now disdainful towards the Fire Owl Clan.
The Fire Owl Clan, which was ranked 18th in the core world, had sent almost all of its elites to annihilate the weakest clan in the second layer of the core world. Yet, they had been annihilated. How could they have the nerve to seek revenge for such a shameful matter? If the Fire Owl King was still alive, he would definitely be driven mad by these looks of disbelief and disdain. However, they were also very curious about this fellow that the Fire Demon King had called a human. Could he have defeated all the elites of the Fire Owl Clan by himself? In the hearts of these Geocentric experts, they had long since directly disregarded the Fire Crow Clan. Just like how the Geocentric World was filled with mystery to humans, Ji Dong, this foreign human, was also a novelty to these Geocentric experts. For a moment, the gazes that landed on him had changed greatly.
The Fire Demon King looked coldly at Ji Dong and nodded. "Alright, then I'd like to see how capable you are to annihilate the Fire Owl Clan." As he spoke, he raised his hand once again and was about to grab Ji Dong.
At this moment, the Fire Lotus King suddenly spoke. "Wait."
The Fire Devil King turned his head to look at the Fire Lotus King. Although the two clans were not on good terms with each other, before they officially fell out with each other, they were both Supreme Supreme Elders. They still had to give each other some face.
The Fire Lotus King said indifferently, "Fire Demon King, what day is it today? Are you going to affect the celebration for such a small matter? It won't be too late to deal with this matter after the celebration. No matter who is right or wrong, the Fire Owl Clan's Lord has interrupted the celebration. I don't think I need to say how he should be punished, right? "
They could all tell that what Ji Dong had said was definitely true. Given the Fire Owl Clan's actions, they would definitely be able to annihilate the Fire Crow Clan. Hence, they did not think that there was any need to investigate this matter.
The Fire Demon King's gaze gradually shifted to the Owlfire Overlord. The Owlfire Overlord trembled violently and said in horror, "Lord Fire Demon King, our Owlfire Race has always been your vassal, you … you …"
The Fire Demon King snorted coldly and said, "I don't want trash under my command. If they can't even deal with the Fire Crow Race, what qualifications does the Fire Owl Race have to rely on me?"
It was already too late for the Fire Owl Lord to realize that something was wrong. The Fire Demon King did not show any mercy to it at all. The huge hand appeared once again, and the Class 10 Magical Beast Six-armed Fire Owl Lord did not even have the chance to resist. In the next moment, it was refined by the Yin and Yang Flames.
At the sight of this, Ji Dong's eyes twitched slightly. In terms of the control of the Yin and Yang Flames, he was far inferior to the Fire Demon King. Furthermore, he could vaguely sense that when the Fire Demon King attacked, just the pressure of the aura alone was enough to make the Owlfire Lord unable to resist. Although he could not see anything on the surface, he could already sense the aura of the Demon Domain. It was an invisible Mental Demon Domain. Under the Fire Demon King's display of might, he had already slightly exposed his powerful strength.
Just like crushing an ant, the Fire Demon King's emotions did not fluctuate at all. He said coldly, "Draw lots."
The Fire Demon King said, "A total of 52 people will participate in the selection. Later, I'll release 52 balls of fire energy, which are gold and black respectively. They correspond to each other. You guys will fight for them, and then you'll naturally be able to find your corresponding opponent according to the soul imprint on them. Don't try to be lucky. The situation of drawing lots will be different for each round."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Demon King waved his hand. In an instant, a magical power that looked like starlight danced in the air and densely covered the sky in the blink of an eye. When the starlight floated to a hundred meters above the ground, the powerhouses, including Ji Dong and the other two, could already see that it was 52 balls of light, half of which were gold and half of which were black.
"Begin." The Fire Demon King's voice sounded out of nowhere. In the next moment, 52 figures soared up at the same time and grabbed towards the balls of light in the air.
Everyone had opponents that they did not want to face. For example, the Fire Demon Race, the Fire Spirit Race, and Ji Dong's group all had their own clans. Under such circumstances, they had to fight for the balls of light of the same color if they wanted to ensure that they did not encounter their own clans.
Ji Dong was very clear about this. His Soul Power instantly exploded and spread out in a small area. He captured the trajectory of the opponents that soared up around him and gave it to Ah Jin and Fury in detail.
When they just shot up, the two fastest ones were Ji Dong and Ah Jin. The reason was very simple. It was because those creatures from the Earth's Core used their own magical power to move, but they did not. Even if the magical power was faster, it was not as direct as the physical body. After Ah Jin's Ancestor Dragon bloodline was awakened, her physical body naturally broke through to the Saint-level. The help that the Earth Dragon Ancestor provided to her daughter was no less than that of Ji Dong, and Ji Dong was also in the same realm. Hence, when the Fire Demon King shouted, Ji Dong and Ah Jin stomped their feet on the ground, leaving four deep footprints on the ground, and their bodies shot up into the sky.
Ajin seemed to be intentionally trying to catch up with Ji Dong. After she rushed into the air, she twisted her body slightly, and her graceful body suddenly bounced in the air. She activated all her Mana, and her body, which was already very fast, sped up again. In an instant, she surpassed Ji Dong.
Ji Dong smiled and also twisted his body. He had already used the Flying Snake Flash and was on par with Ah Jin. At that moment, the others had just started moving and were more than a body's length behind them.
The moment they saw Ji Dong and Ah Jin shoot up, the gazes of the three Grand Supreme Elders froze. There were a few Geocentric Experts who were especially fast from other directions. For example, the 10-meter-tall Fire Demon, the only representative of the Fire Lotus Tribe, the Red Lotus, was extremely fast as well. However, he was still slightly behind Ji Dong and Ah Jin.
Seeing that he could not get the first spot, the Fire Demon could not help but roar angrily in the air. He struck out with his palms at the same time towards the 52 balls of light in the air. He wanted to disperse the energy from the 52 balls of light. He had absolute confidence in his speed. As long as he could buy himself a little more time, he would definitely be the first to get the lot. Furthermore, he planned to get rid of his tribesmen as well.
At this moment, Ji Dong, who was in the sky, had already reacted. When the Fire Demon launched its attack, he waved both of his hands at the same time, making a feint in the air. At the same time, Ajin, who was beside him, suddenly paused in the air. His right leg flew out like lightning and kicked the agitated Ajin's butt, causing his speed to increase again.
Three balls of golden light flew towards Ji Dong and Ah Jin as he waved his hands. In the air, Ji Dong stretched out like a cloud dragon. Before the Fire Demon's attack landed on the balls of light, he had already taken the three balls of golden light into his arms. His body curled into a ball in the air and instantly descended. He stuffed a ball of golden light into Ah Jin's hands, and the two of them landed on the ground together.
It was not that no one wanted to snatch it, but no one was a fool. Seeing that Ji Dong and Ah Jin were so fast and together, although many people wanted to snatch it, no one really dared to do it. After all, everyone had the fifty-two lots, and they still had a chance to try their luck.
Seeing that Ji Dong and Ah Jin had landed, Fury laughed and came up to them. He took a ball of golden light from Ji Dong in a grand manner. When the Fire Spirit King gave the order to start, Fury also flew up, but he was just putting on an act.
He couldn't fly physically like Ji Dong and Ah Jin. Although he was confident that he could reach a height of 100 meters, with Ji Dong around, why should he waste his precious magic power?
The balls of light in the sky had already been bombarded and scattered in all directions. The tyrannical Fire Demon, the Red Lotus, and the Fire Spirit Race's representatives all reacted the fastest. In just a short while, the golden color in the sky was almost swept away. They had all chosen the same color as Ji Dong and Ah Jin.
There were a total of twenty-six golden spheres. Ji Dong had obtained three with the help of the God-Killing Guide, the red lotus had obtained one, the Fire Demon had obtained ten, and the three strong Fire Spirits had obtained three. So, seventeen spheres had been obtained. In other words, there were still nine places where they could avoid fighting against the strong Fire Spirits in the first round.
Through the process of snatching the lots and Ji Dong's confession that he killed the Fire Owl King with his own hands, most of the Geocentric Powerhouses no longer looked down on him. Moreover, there were all the contestants from the three major races on the golden side. How could they be willing to fight with them in the first round? Even if they couldn't get the position of the Acting Sect Master, being able to last a few rounds in the selection ceremony was enough to show off their strength in the Geocentric World. Moreover, these Geocentric Powerhouses were all arrogant. If the three Supreme Supreme Elders didn't participate, they would have the strength to fight.
The competition for the remaining nine balls of golden light had reached a climax. Some people had already begun to move, and it wasn't just a matter of speed. After more than ten breaths of time, the lot-drawing ceremony was finally over, and everyone had a ball of light in their hands.
When he got the ball of light, Ji Dong couldn't help but admire the Fire Spirit King. The 52 balls of light were released in an instant. After he got it, he used his soul to sense it and realized that it actually contained a number. Obviously, it was through the corresponding number that the opponent in the first round was determined. Creating a soul ball that could store numbers was already the scope of the soul imprint. Ji Dong knew that it was impossible for him to achieve the level of the Fire Spirit King in an instant.
After the 52 participants landed on the ground, there were those who glared angrily, those who were depressed, and those who were glad. But no matter what, they had already found their first opponent.
"Lot 1, fight." The Fire Spirit King's voice sounded in the air. Because it had lived the longest in the Geocentric World, out of respect, the Fire Devil King and the Fire Lotus King jointly elected it to host the selection ceremony.
The two people who had also obtained the black and golden orbs of light walked out together. The one who obtained the black orb of light was not humanoid, but a huge three-headed Cerberus. This fellow was the king of the Cerberus Clan.
Previously, it did not get the Golden Lot, not because it was weak, but because it was not very good at flying. It could only fly with mana. However, it was not weak. The Cerberus Clan was known as the Great Land Plunderers in the Geocentric World. On the ground, they were extremely powerful. The entire Cerberus Clan was ranked far above the Fire Owl Clan in the Geocentric World. They were ranked tenth. It could be seen how powerful they were to be able to make it to the top ten. The Cerberus King had an extremely high cultivation. It could be ranked seventh among the 36 core elders.
The person who had obtained the Golden Orb of Light also walked out. It was Fury, the Thunder Emperor. His huge body seemed very small in front of the Cerberus. The Cerberus was nine meters long and three meters tall. Its three big heads stared at Fury fiercely. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its eerie white teeth. Its incomparably tyrannical aura directly exerted a great pressure on Fury.
"Senior, be careful. The Cerberus' cultivation is extraordinary. It's equivalent to a peak Class 10 Magical Beast, but compared to a Divine Totem Beast, retreat as soon as you feel that something is wrong." Ji Dong's warning rang out in Fury's head. He was rather gloomy as well. The lot he had gotten was not bad, but who knew that Fury would still encounter a strong opponent. Among the 26 Geocentric World experts, the Cerberus was definitely ranked in the top three.
Fury did not reply to Ji Dong. His body trembled slightly, and the layer of red crystals on the surface of his body shattered into pieces, revealing the purplish-blue armor underneath.
The fire spirit king yelled in the air, "The first round of the selection begins now."
Along with its command, the three-headed Cerberus pounced forward like a madman.
Although it did not fly very fast, its speed on the ground was extremely fast. The explosive power of its body was displayed in an instant, and its huge body had already arrived above Fury's head like a dark cloud.
Fury snorted coldly. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Even though his body was so tiny compared to the Cerberus, he did not cower at all. He stomped on the ground with his right foot and leapt into the air, charging straight at the Cerberus.
The blue flames were ignited the moment Fury leapt into the air, filling the air of the entire battlefield. Fury grunted in the air as soon as he leapt into the air, and his surroundings were already covered in the blue flames.
This was the Cerberus' Demon Domain — Boundless Hellish Flames. Most of the creatures in the Geocentric World were the same as the magical beasts in the human world. It was very rare for them to possess a Demon Domain. Unfortunately, Fury was unlucky. The Cerberus he encountered was one of the few Geocentric World experts that possessed a Demon Domain.
