The ten people in the group below the age of 100 were brought out of the Sword Trial Pavilion to complete the procedures to join the Heavenly Pool Palace.
At the same time, the people in the group between the age of 100 and 200 entered the arena one after another.
The number of people in this group was not as many as the previous group. However, there were still nearly 100 people in this group.
"Let's begin."
Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace's Sword Trial Pavilion, gave the order.
Naturally, during this process, they were only allowed to use Celestial Weapons and not Celestial Talismans. Those who used Celestial Talismans would be killed immediately.
One by one, people fell to the ground and left the arena to admit defeat.
About half an hour later, there were only twenty or so people left … and these twenty or so people also began to engage in the fiercest competition.
Perhaps it was because of the example of the strongest person in the first group, but the remaining twenty or so people began to display strength that was on par with each other.
However, in the end, the strength of the twenty plus people all increased by a level. Some of them even displayed cultivations capable of suppressing the entire crowd.
In the end, they reached a consensus and joined forces to eliminate more than ten people before they successfully advanced to the next round.
"Now, those who have been eliminated in the group below the age of 100 can challenge any one of the remaining ten people in this group. If you succeed, you won't have to accept any other challenge and will be able to join the Heavenly Pool Palace."
Lei Ying's voice rang in the air again.
The people who had been eliminated earlier were eager to challenge Lei Ying again.
Soon after, two people entered the arena and challenged two people. However, both of them failed and one of them was killed.
Among the group of people between 100 and 200 years old, any one of the ten people who remained until the end was undoubtedly very powerful.
It was difficult for those who were eliminated in the group below the age of 100 to be resurrected.
In the end, a few people challenged the remaining ten people, but they all failed.
None of the people below the age of 100 were resurrected.
"All of you, wait at the side … Someone will send all of you out of the arena after the third round is over."
Lei Ying glanced at the people in the group below the age of 100 who were eliminated indifferently. At this moment, these people no longer had the chance to challenge the remaining ten people.
"Bring the ten of them down to complete the procedures to join the Heavenly Pool Palace."
Lei Ying looked at one of the nine elders of the Sword Trial Hall and said to him. The elder immediately led the ten people who had advanced and left.
Then, it was time for people between two hundred and three hundred years old to take the stage.
Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er stepped into the arena together.
When the two of them stood in the arena, everyone's eyes fell on them. Their eyes were filled with fear.
Even more people had helpless looks in their eyes.
Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er had already displayed their strength in the first round of the examination. This made them realize that even if they joined forces, they would not be able to defeat either of them.
Moreover, the two of them were together, so they would definitely take care of each other.
"The others probably don't have the courage to make a move against the two of them … There's no meaning in letting them participate in the third round of the test."
Xu Lang transmitted his voice to Lei Ying.
As it turned out, Xu Lang was right.
As soon as Lei Ying announced the start of the second round, the people in Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er's group began to make their moves. However, none of them dared to make a move against the two of them.
While the battle was intense, the place where Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were standing was completely calm.
Boom!
Rumble!
…
A series of explosions rang in the air as the people in the second round made their moves. However, they intentionally avoided Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er who had yet to make a move became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Nobody dares to make a move against the two of them."
"I heard that the two of them managed to defeat the Six Combos Celestial Lord and injure him during the first round of the examination. With such strength, even if the others join forces, they won't be a match for the two of them."
"Who are the two of them? How can sectless cultivators possess such strength? "
"They're not even 300 years old, but they possess such strength. Even in the heaven-grade forces in the Boundless Heaven, there aren't many people with such strength."
"I'm sure the two of them will become prodigious disciples as soon as they join the Heavenly Pool Palace."
"It's not surprising."
…
At this moment, many people in the other groups who did not pay attention to Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er finally learned about the two Duan Lingtian and Huan' er's terrifying strength.
In the end, almost an hour had passed. Apart from Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er, who had been standing for an hour, the remaining eight participants had been decided.
They tacitly gave two spots to Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er.
"Those who were eliminated from the previous group can challenge any of the ten people in this group. If they win, they'll be given a chance to join the Heavenly Pool Palace again."
Lei Ying looked at the people between the ages of 100 and 200 who had been eliminated and said in a clear voice.
Upon seeing this, the people in this group were eager to make a move.
Although they knew the people between the ages of 200 and 300 were very strong, they still wanted to try their best to see if they would be given a chance to join the Heavenly Pool Palace again.
However, no one challenged Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er.
On the other hand, the other eight people were challenged.
The challengers were not stupid. They knew how strong Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were. Therefore, they avoided challenging them.
"Duan Lingtian, I challenged you, and you deliberately lost to me … After this, I'll give you an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. With your innate talent, comprehension ability, and strength, even if you lose, the Heavenly Pool Palace will still make an exception and recruit you. "
A young man dressed in embroidered robes sent a message to Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission.
An Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?
However, Duan Lingtian only glanced at the young man indifferently and ignored him.
Upon seeing this, the young man turned to look at Huan 'er who was standing next to Duan Lingtian and sent a Voice Transmission. However, Huan' er was even more stubborn than Duan Lingtian. She did not even look at the young man.
In the end, no one succeeded in challenging the Heavenly Pool Palace.
"Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er, stay here … As for the other eight people, follow Elder Qian to complete the formalities."
After Lei Ying finished speaking, she looked at an old man among the eight remaining elders from the Sword Trial Pavilion and said, "Elder Qian, please follow me."
"Follow me."
The old man called Elder Qian led the eight people in Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er's group away.
Meanwhile, Lei Ying forcefully stopped the third round of the selection.
"Duan Lingtian, Huan 'er … Are you willing to join me and Xu Lang? If you join us, you don't have to address us as masters. You can just address us as teachers. "
Lei Ying said kindly as she looked at Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er with a forced smile on her face.
Based on her words, it was clear she did not force Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er to address her and Xu Lang as masters since they already had masters.
Lei Ying did not deliberately lower her voice so everyone present on the square heard her words.
At this moment, many people looked at Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er enviously.
Naturally, there were also some people who looked at Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er with envy.
"I didn't expect Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er to receive invitations from two titled Celestial Emperors from the Heavenly Pool Palace before they even left the Sword Trial Pavilion. After all, there are only a few titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace."
"With their innate talent, it's not surprising that they're chosen by two titled Celestial Emperors."
"They've just joined the Heavenly Pool Palace, but they're already capable of becoming prodigious disciples. I'm sure any titled Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly Pool Palace would want to recruit them, right?"
…
Everyone's eyes were trained on Duan Ling Tian, Lei Ying, and Xu Lang as they waited for Duan Ling Tian's reply.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were communicating through Voice Transmission. "Huan' er, you should join Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, while I'll join Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor.
This way, we'll be able to search for your parents from both sides.
Moreover, if we join a titled Celestial Emperor, we'll have two backers in the Heavenly Pool Palace. "
Duan Lingtian had thought far ahead.
Huan 'er, naturally, would listen to Duan Lingtian's words unconditionally.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Xu Lang and Lei Ying could tell Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were hesitant when they saw Duan Lingtian and Huan' er remained silent. Therefore, they hurriedly sent Voice Transmissions to Duan Lingtian.
Based on their conversation, they made a lot of promises in hopes that Duan Lingtian would join them.
Clearly, they were more eager to have Duan Lingtian join them than Huan 'er.
Moreover, they could tell that Huan 'er and Huan' er were very clingy.
Huan 'er was very clingy to Duan Lingtian.
Perhaps, Huan 'er would insist on following Duan Lingtian even if he joined them.
"Senior Xu Lang, I'll join you."
Duan Lingtian said as he looked at Xu Lang.
Xu Lang's eyes lit up, and Lei Ying's expression stiffened slightly. At this moment, Duan Lingtian said, "Pavilion Master Lei Ying, Huan 'er will join you."
Initially, Lei Ying thought Huan 'er would follow Duan Ling Tian wherever he went when she saw the two of them sticking together like glue.
However, when she heard Duan Lingtian's words, her expression softened. "Alright."
"Xu Lang, you've taken advantage of me," Lei Ying said through gritted teeth.
Then, she looked at Huan 'er and said with a gentle expression, "Huan' er, you and Duan Lingtian will follow Xu Lang to complete the procedures. I'll look for you after the test is over."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Lang and said, "Xu Lang, I'm sure you have no objections to bringing Huan 'er along to complete the procedures, right?"
"It's nothing. Naturally, I have no objections."
Xu Lang laughed. Then, he beckoned to Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er before he led them away.
After Duan Lingtian, Huan 'er, and Huan' er left, the third test continued.
"Senior Xu Lang, the place we were in earlier was not a Formation but a Little World, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked Xu Lang after they left the Sword Trial Pavilion.
