When he finished speaking, the True Man of the Purple Cloud rolled up his sleeves, and two hundred streaks of purple vital energy were accurately separated from his sleeves.
The vital energy fell evenly on the heads of all the outstanding young geniuses, forming a faint circular rune above their heads.
The Red Blood Palace's disciples all had the word "Chi" displayed above their heads.
The Purple Cloud Palace disciples had the word 'purple' above their heads.
It was the same for the disciples of the other forces. Their auras indicated their sect background.
"If one side concedes defeat or is defeated, the Purple Vital Energy will gather above the winner's head. When the match ends, the result will be determined according to the amount of Purple Cloud Vital Energy." The True Man of the Purple Cloud announced, "The duration of the competition is one day. In the secret realm, as long as you admit defeat or are in life-threatening danger, you will be transported out. There won't be too much danger."
When Su Yu heard this, he furrowed his brows. Changing the arena competition into a risky competition?
It sounded very fair, and it saved a lot of time. The ranking could be completed in a day.
However, the Purple Cloud Secret Realm belonged to the Purple Cloud Palace. The disciples of the Purple Cloud Palace were far more familiar with the secret realm than the disciples participating in the competition.
Making use of his familiarity with the terrain to seize the Purple Cloud Vital Energy was an obvious advantage.
How could Mo Tianxuan agree to such an unreasonable competition?
"Also …" The True Man of the Purple Cloud looked around and said, "Anyone who has deployed the Purple Cloud Vital Energy can participate in the competition, no matter who you are."
Su Yu suddenly understood!
As Mo Tianxuan's personal attendants, Su Yu, Bing Wuqing, Gongsun Wuxie, Bai Shanliang, and the others all had the Purple Cloud Vital Energy above their heads.
In that case, they could participate in the competition justifiably.
Looking at the other sects, they had brought along a large number of outstanding young disciples, but none of them had obtained the Purple Cloud Vital Energy.
The difference in treatment caused the faces of many sect leaders to darken.
"May I ask, True Man of the Purple Cloud, why do some of our disciples not have the Purple Cloud Vital Energy?" A fair-skinned, middle-aged scholar, who was holding a white fan in his hand, asked respectfully as he stared in Su Yu's direction.
This question was something that many sect leaders were unhappy with.
Why could the Red Blood Palace send ten more people to participate, while they were the exception?
The True Man of the Purple Cloud said indifferently, "The secret realm can only accommodate a limited number of people. If you want to share the pressure for the secret realm, the people of the Soul Seizing Palace need not participate."
The threat could not be any stronger.
The middle-aged scholar said, "Daoist Master is being too serious. I am only curious. I will definitely obey Daoist Master's arrangements."
Taking a step back, the middle-aged scholar's face was calm, but the hand that held the fan unconsciously tightened.
With the middle-aged scholar's setback, who would dare to question him?
Su Yu finally understood why Mo Tianxuan had agreed to participate in the unfair competition.
In exchange, the Red Blood Palace would get ten more participants.
"All of you, follow me to the secret realm." The True Man of the Purple Cloud tapped the ground lightly with his toes and crossed the clouds, flying to the top of the second peak.
The peak of the mountain was a place shrouded in clouds and mist. It was impossible to see beyond three kilometers with the naked eye.
Perhaps it was because of the formation, but the spiritual energy on the peak was exceptionally dense. Cultivating here for a day was equivalent to cultivating for ten days in the outside world.
It was even to the extent that he could faintly see precious materials that were rarely seen in the outside world growing on the peak of the mountain, and there were even some rare and exotic beasts living there.
More importantly, there was a pressure near the summit. It was impossible to fly at the summit, and walking speed was also very slow.
In this way, they could have flown over the summit of dozens of miles in the blink of an eye. But if they were in the middle of it, they would be no different from ordinary martial artists, and they would have to proceed on foot.
"All of you, enter quickly. You only have one day, and you will be automatically transported out after one day. If you haven't obtained any Vital Energy by then, and your ranking is below one hundred, don't blame me for not giving you a chance," the True Man said.
Everyone landed one after another.
When they were about ten feet from the ground, a tremendous pressure suddenly pressed down from above and all around them.
They tried their best to revolve their Vital Energy, but they couldn't resist it, and were forced to fall from the sky.
At the same time, the pressure from the side forced everyone to deviate from their direction.
Many groups that had formed alliances or were about to form a group were broken up.
Bang, bang, bang!
Accompanied by the dense sounds of collisions like raindrops, the two hundred selected students landed.
Looking in all directions, the fog here was several times thicker than when seen from the sky!
Looking down from the clouds, one could see a mile away, but in the depths of the fog, one could not even see a hundred meters!
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the separated teams to reunite even if they wanted to ascend to heaven.
Instead, they would search randomly and reveal their movements, which could easily expose their location.
After Su Yu landed, he didn't walk around casually. Instead, he immediately restrained his breath and stood motionless like a wooden stake.
He tried his best to use his five senses to observe the movements around him.
Strangely, as the banging sounds dissipated, his surroundings quickly fell into silence. It was so quiet that only the chirping of the spiritual insects could be heard.
When he landed, there were at least five people who landed within three miles of him, but there was no movement around him, which meant that they were also aware that the environment was special and that they shouldn't move recklessly.
The wait went on for a full hour, making people feel as if there was really no one around.
Right at that moment, a slight wave of spiritual energy appeared five hundred meters to Su Yu's right.
Someone couldn't help but move!
But after half an hour, a strong wave of spiritual energy suddenly erupted, followed by a faint scream that reached Su Yu's ears.
Su Yu sighed silently. The person who had moved first had been killed.
Just as Su Yu was about to take advantage of the chaos to move away from the vicinity, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"No! I almost fell into a trap! "Su Yu slowly retracted his footsteps and continued to restrain his breath.
At that moment, three waves of spiritual energy appeared from different directions.
Just as Su Yu had initially planned, they took advantage of the chaos to leave the area.
But at that moment, a clear scream reverberated through the clouds, accompanied by a loud roar. "Ah! It's a trick! "
"Too late!" Su Yu heard a familiar cold grunt, and the person's roar stopped abruptly.
Then, the entire dense fog shook gently, and a gust of space energy flashed.
Someone must have been transported away because his life was in danger.
The initial scream was actually the disguise of a cunning disciple, who had deliberately created the illusion that he had been attacked.
The goal was to lure the people who were hiding out.
As expected, the people who were hiding in the vicinity were all lured out, except for Su Yu.
One of them was even assassinated.
Then, the surroundings immediately became chaotic. The remaining two people knew that it was a trick and that their breaths had been exposed. There was no longer a need to hide, and they released their spiritual energy to escape.
But this was exactly what the person who had plotted against them wanted.
"Hehe, none of you can escape!" That person's movement technique was extremely fast, and after a moment, he could faintly hear another scream.
After half an hour, there was another indistinct cry for mercy.
Among the people who had landed at the same time, three of them were quickly eliminated.
This made Su Yu extremely vigilant.
"I need to make some preparations." Su Yu stroked his chin. When the last indistinct cry for mercy appeared, he immediately left the place.
Because he was far away, the mysterious person could no longer detect the spiritual energy fluctuation he emitted.
Not long after he left, a young man with a dark face and a sharp expression appeared nearby. After searching for a while, he narrowed his eyes and said, "This person is quite vigilant. He was able to remain calm in such a tense environment and did not reveal his aura."
"Forget it, it's more important to find Su Yuxian first. Senior Sister Tianyu has warned us not to allow him to pass the selection."
When he finished speaking, he plunged into the dense fog.
Su Yu quietly searched the vicinity of an ancient tree and climbed up the trunk. His movements were extremely quiet.
Looking up at the sky, Su Yu pondered. "There are two difficulties in the Purple Cloud Secret Realm. The first is the pressure. According to each person's different cultivation, different pressures are applied to ensure that everyone loses the ability to sprint and become like ordinary people. The fastest speed is no more than eight meters per second, and even climbing trees is very strenuous."
"The second is the dense fog, which ensures that everyone's line of sight is within a hundred meters. In this way, it will be impossible to ambush them, and everyone will have an equal chance of encountering another person."
In terms of these two points, it actually created a relatively fair environment.
This method could prevent a group of weaklings from gathering and joining forces to expel the strong, causing the strong to be eliminated and the weak to be elected.
"Apart from that, the further we go, the fewer targets we can attack." Su Yu analyzed secretly. "There are a total of 200 people. In theory, obtaining a whiff of the Purple Cloud Vital Energy means that one has obtained the qualification to enter the Glittering Jewel Wonderland. Those who have achieved their goals will most likely choose a place to hide and wait for the selection to end. Hence, the further we go, the more disadvantageous the selection becomes."
"This is excluding the situation where there are strong people who have seized the Purple Cloud Vital Energy many times." For example, the mysterious person just now had eliminated three people in a row.
After a round of analysis, Su Yu quickly determined his target. He had to seize a whiff of the Purple Cloud Vital Energy in the first half of the day at the latest. The latter half of the day was very risky, and it was highly likely that he would encounter a situation where he could not find any traces of the enemy.
Before taking action, Su Yu tried to use his Soul Eyes, slowly releasing the power of his Soul Eyes.
The result made Su Yu's eyes brighten slightly. The Soul Eyes could see through a range of a thousand meters, expanding his vision tenfold.
This one thousand meters could ensure that when the enemy discovered Su Yu, he would have already discovered them.
He could even prepare an ambush in advance.
With this pair of eyes, Su Yu's confidence was assured. Standing on the tree trunk, he raised his eyes and looked around, seeing through a range of a thousand meters with him as the center.
"There's no one!" After making sure, Su Yu climbed down the tree trunk to determine his location.
When he landed, he seemed to have landed in the southernmost part of the secret realm. Most of the people had landed in the central region.
"It seems that the central region is the main battlefield," Su Yu thought to himself. After identifying the direction, he immediately rushed toward the central region.
Four hours later, one-sixth of the day had passed. Including the two hours he had delayed previously, a quarter of the day had passed.
He needed to find a target to attack within the next two hours. Otherwise, waiting until the latter half of the day would be extremely disadvantageous.
After four hours of trekking over mountains and rivers, Su Yu had finally reached the edge of the central region on foot.
Along the way, he found several traces of fighting. He believed that there were people who had been eliminated.
This made Su Yu even more anxious to find a target to attack.
All of a sudden, Su Yu felt an intense wave of spiritual energy.
