"Most importantly … He's a member of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family. This time, he'll surely be amongst the three people recommended by the Imperial Family. "
Duan Lingtian was more certain the more he thought about it.
But the things that the people present noticed now were different from what Duan Lingtian noticed.
Numerous gazes descended onto Long Yun, and from the initial astonishment to the later astonishment, they revealed their surprise towards Long Yun.
Or perhaps, at that instant earlier, they'd gotten to know Long Yun once more.
"Seventh … Seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage! He's actually a seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artist! "
"I never imagined … I truly never imagined! His strength is actually so formidable. I originally thought he would be smashed to death by his opponent's hammer. "
"Simply unexpected! Who would have imagined that he's actually a seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artist? "
"His opponent was unfortunate as well … Perhaps that person felt that he could be arrogant because he was a sixth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist. But who knew that he'd actually bitten off more than he could chew. "
"Needless to say … Sometimes, some things are really 'fate.'"
…
No matter if it was the third-class spectating area or the second-class spectating area, many people shook their heads and sighed with emotion.
"Number 73 is victorious."
Meanwhile, the middle aged man that was in charge of recording Long Yun's accomplishments returned to his senses and announced.
Long Yun had advanced!
When Long Yun returned to the second-class spectating area, many surrounding spectators looked at him with reverence.
Of course, there were also people that looked at him with hatred.
On another second-class spectating area, a representative that was obviously from an Empire stared fixedly at Long Yun with eyes that almost split apart from rage.
His hands formed into fists and clenched tightly, and his body started trembling intensely.
His nephew was killed by this person!
Even though his nephew had died for nothing in an occasion like this, he still hated Long Yun to the extreme and wished for nothing more than to tear Long Yun into pieces.
At the same time, along with Long Yun killing his opponent, the other 18 young geniuses attacked successively.
The battles in the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition were carried out like a raging fire.
After Long Yun, another three seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artists appeared before Su Li ascended the arena. As for sixth level Void Initiation Stage martial artists, there were even more, an entire 20 or so people.
In next to no time, Su Li ascended the arena.
Su Li was the possessor of command token number 237.
Swish!
An ear-piercing sword whistle was heard.
Su Li's opponent was a young genius at the fifth level of the Void Initiation Stage, and his belt was instantly broken by Su Li, causing him to embarrassedly hold up his pants and admit defeat before leaving.
"Hahahaha …"
Unsurprisingly, the crowd burst into laughter as well.
The originally solemn atmosphere of the Dynasty Martial Competition was completely destroyed.
At the same time, Su Li advanced.
"This young sword practitioner's strength is very strong … with just one sword, he cut off his opponent's belt. From the beginning until the end, the silhouette of the ancient horned dragon that was formed from the Heaven and Earth Energy dissipated before it could take form. "
"Even though I'm unable to determine his cultivation from the number of ancient horned dragon silhouettes … But I guess that his cultivation is at least at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage!"
"That's for sure! If he isn't at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage, it's impossible for him to draw his sword so quickly. "
"Another seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artist … Up until now, five seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artists have already appeared amongst the young geniuses of the various Empires."
"There's still a third of the young geniuses that haven't entered the arena … Presumably, another two or three seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artists will appear later on."
…
Amidst a wave of bustling discussion, Su Li returned to Duan Lingtian's side.
"Su Li."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed, and slight bewilderment appeared on his face.
Earlier, even though Su Li had attacked, he didn't utilize the slightest trace of Sword Concept, and it caused the curiosity in Duan Lingtian's heart to grow even more.
What level has Su Li who's at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage comprehended to?
"Long Yun's Saber Concept has improved so quickly that it's shocking … Or perhaps, Long Yun possesses a Concept Fragment as well, and it's a Saber Concept Fragment!"
When he thought of Long Yun's current comprehension in Saber Concept, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but guess like this.
Besides this, he was unable to wrap his head around why Long Yun's Saber Concept was able to improve so quickly.
"If Long Yun possesses a Saber Concept Fragment, then Su Li surely possesses a Sword Concept Fragment as well … In this way, Su Li's attainments in Sword Concept ought to surpass Long Yun's attainments in Saber Concept!"
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian took a deep breath.
If it was really like this, then the fortuitous encounters of Su Li and Long Yun were truly shocking.
Even though their fortuitous encounters were inferior to his, it wasn't much inferior.
At this moment, besides Duan Lingtian and Long Yun, the gazes that everyone in the spectating area shot at Su Li was completely different.
"King Yong, I finally understand now … Why your Darkstone Empire's Long Yun held him in such high esteem since the beginning. His strength looks like it really isn't inferior to Long Yun."
The representative of the Holdwind Empire, Old Man Liu, glanced at Su Li before looking at King Yong and sighing. "Your Darkstone Empire really has hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
The corners of King Yong's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
Based on the current situation, Su Li's strength was indeed not inferior to Long Yun.
"Senior Liu, you're too kind."
Long Yun and Su Li had successively brought honor to the Darkstone Empire, and it caused King Yong, the representative of the Darkstone Empire, to feel extremely proud. Now, when he faced the representative of the Holdwind Empire, he was imperceptibly superior.
"Now, I'm slightly looking forward to the performance of the other young genius of your Darkstone Empire that Long Yun takes seriously."
As he spoke, the old man's gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian.
King Yong looked over as well.
"Duan Lingtian …"
Now, even he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Needless to say, Long Yun and Su Li's strengths had indeed shocked him.
But in his eyes, no matter what aspect it was, Duan Lingtian had always surpassed Long Yun and Su Li without a doubt.
Even now, when he saw Long Yun and Su Li obtain fortuitous encounters of their own that allowed their strengths to increase greatly in the past year, he still felt that Long Yun and Su Li were superior to him.
But even then, he still looked favorably upon Duan Lingtian.
So, he similarly looked forward to Duan Lingtian's performance.
Duan Lingtian naturally noticed the gazes of the old man and King Yong, yet he didn't pay much attention to it.
His gaze descended onto the sky above the Cage Battle Arena and looked at the numerous young geniuses in battle.
Time silently flowed by.
In next to no time, the first round of the Dynasty Martial Competition today was nearing its end.
Later on, another two young geniuses at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage appeared.
Bang!
Along with a sixth level Void Initiation Stage young genius defeating another sixth level Void Initiation Stage young genius, the first round of the selections had officially ended.
Merely this first round of the selections had eliminated an entire 180 people.
Of course, there were many people that were disgruntled.
For example, the sixth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist that was defeated in the end …
If it wasn't for him being unlucky and just happened to encounter another sixth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist that was stronger than him, he would surely be one of the people that advanced.
But he wasn't anxious because he still had a chance.
"The first round of the selections has ended … The second round of the selections will continue 15 minutes from now, and another 90 people will be eliminated."
The white clothed young man stood in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena as his sonorous voice spread out.
15 minutes of time.
The ten middle aged men that were in charge of recording the results gathered together and started to unify the results and list out the order of the people that fought.
The group of young geniuses that had advanced finally had the chance to catch their breaths.
"King Yong, I was originally thinking that our Holdwind Empire can compete with your Darkstone Empire to see which side has more young geniuses standing at the end … Now it would seem that there's no need to compete."
The old man looked at King Yong and shook his head as he sighed.
Now, the situation was clear.
The young geniuses of their Holdwind Empire were far inferior to the young geniuses of the Darkstone Empire.
The Darkstone Empire had two young geniuses at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above, and there was another young genius that seemed to be at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above.
Whereas their Holdwind Empire only had two young geniuses at the sixth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
They were utterly unable to compare with the Darkstone Empire.
The group of young geniuses of the Holdwind Empire lowered their heads in shame when they heard this, and all of them felt that they'd lost face for the Holdwind Empire.
On the other hand, no matter if it was the young geniuses that were eliminated or the young geniuses that weren't eliminated, all of their backs were ramrod straight, and brilliant smiles appeared on their faces.
"Three of the nine young geniuses of the Darkstone Empire have been eliminated … Five of the ten young geniuses of the Holdwind Empire have been eliminated."
The accomplishments of the Darkstone Empire caused Duan Lingtian to be slightly surprised.
"Begin the second round of the selections!"
In next to no time, 15 minutes had passed, and the white clothed young man's voice sounded out once more, causing everyone to be unable to refrain from shuddering and returning to their senses.
As for the ten middle aged men that were in charge of recording the accomplishments, they'd already taken their positions.
"All the possessors of the number 1 to 40 token, so long as you've advanced in the first round of the selections, come up."
The white clothed young man spoke with a sonorous voice.
After the first round of the selections, half of the possessors of the number 1 to 40 tokens had been eliminated, and only 20 people remained.
It just happened to gather 10 battles.
On the side of the Darkstone Empire, there were instead two people that entered the arena this time.
The first was Gao Yuhai.
The second …
"Number 32."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he looked at the number on the token in his hand, and then he followed Gao Yuhai to leave the spectating area and arrive in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena to converge with the other 18 young geniuses.
"Possessors of the number 2 token and number 3 token, come over here."
A middle aged man spoke out directly.
Instantly, Gao Yuhai who'd drawn the number 3 token earlier and another young genius went over.
Obviously.
During the first round of the selections earlier, the battle between number 1 and number 2 was won by number 2 and advanced.
The battle between number 3 and number 4 was won by number 3.
Now, it was the turn of number 2 and number 3 to battle.
Subsequently, the other nine middle aged men spoke out successively.
"Possessors of the number 30 token and number 32 token, come over here."
Along with a middle aged man from the east speaking out, Duan Lingtian flew over.
