On the huge square, there were four rows of people, corresponding to the participating disciples of the Blood Puppet Division, Pill Division, Warrior Division, and Weapon Division.
Chen Qiang took a quick look. The total number of disciples participating in the selection was close to 100,000!
This was only the number of participants for the first day of the year!
However, the Sky Pillar Dao Academy would only select 400 new disciples from the participants every year!
In other words, only a hundred lucky disciples from each division would enter the Sky Pillar Dao Academy.
This was a one in a thousand chance of being accepted!
As for the losers …
No one cared about their whereabouts!
When everyone arrived at the square, four old men suddenly appeared in the air above the square.
"Disciples of the Five States Dao Academies of the Shengmo Continent, the annual Sky Pillar Dao Academy selection is about to begin!"
The four old men stood in the air. It was obvious that they were all Beginner Battle Monarchs and above.
The skinny old man in the lead spoke to the crowd below. "The Sky Pillar Dao Academy selection will be held by the Blood Puppet Division first.
This year, there are 21,600 applicants participating in the Blood Puppet Division's selection.
"In the selection of the four divisions, only the Blood Puppet Division has a large number of casualties every year. This is due to the unique cultivation characteristics of the Blood Puppet Division's disciples and is unavoidable. I believe that the Blood Puppet Division disciples are aware of this in advance.
"Although the Blood Puppet Division's selection is bloody, if all of you wish to enter the Sky Pillar Dao Academy, you must understand that the path of cultivation is not smooth sailing. It is always accompanied by a great calamity of life and death.
"Therefore, in the selection of the Blood Puppet Division, the participating disciples of the other divisions must watch carefully. Do not be afraid or you will be disqualified!"
After he finished speaking, the skinny old man in the lead drew a huge arc in the air and said, "All participating disciples of the Blood Puppet Division, enter the arc and engage in a melee. The final 100 winners will be the third-grade disciples of the Sky Pillar Dao Academy this year!"
More than 20,000 disciples of the Blood Puppet Division entered the arc as soon as he finished speaking. Then, a transparent barrier appeared around the arc.
The disciples of the other three divisions spread out and surrounded the huge barrier in the center.
When the skinny old man outside saw this, he unfurled a small yellow triangular flag in his hand. Instantly, the barrier was filled with black smoke!
Because of the existence of the enchantment, the disciples outside could not hear the sound inside.
Furthermore, because more than twenty thousand people were gathered together, the smoke, the Blood Puppet Division's disciples, and the Blood Puppets were running all over the place. Even Chen Qiang couldn't tell what was going on inside.
Of course, even if all the Blood Puppet Division disciples inside were killed, the people outside wouldn't care.
After all, the disciples of the other three divisions were well aware of how terrifying the disciples of the Blood Puppet Division were.
No one was willing to make friends with people like that.
Mei Xin grabbed the corner of Yan Xue's clothes tightly with both hands and gathered her courage to watch the battle inside.
After about two hours, the area within the huge barrier finally became a little more spacious.
There were more than twenty thousand Blood Puppet Division disciples in total. But, after a series of bloody fights, the number of disciples had soared to about a thousand. The spectators' vision had become much clearer.
It was only at this moment that the four old men in the air began to pay attention to the situation inside the barrier. Occasionally, they would look at each other and smile. They must be communicating with each other through sound transmission.
Another period of time passed, and the number of people dropped again to over two hundred!
The space inside the barrier became even more spacious.
However, some female disciples like Mei Xin were more concerned about the dismembered limbs and corpses on the ground!
In just over two hours, more than twenty thousand lives had been lost in this chaotic battle.
In the Shengmo Dalu, the high-level Blood Puppet Division cultivators had a relatively high status.
However, their growth process was almost a process of slaughter!
From the smiles of the four experts in the air, it could be seen that before these Blood Puppet Division cultivators grew up, they were no different from spiritual beasts and wild beasts in the eyes of the experts!
Only after they had truly become disciples of the Blood Puppet Division of the Sky Pillar Division could they be truly trained and valued!
"Sigh! This is too disgusting! However, this slaughter is finally coming to an end! "
Near Chen Qiang, a disciple of the Pill Division let out a long sigh. His face was already pale and bloodless.
At this moment, Chen Qiang's attention was focused on a skinny red-haired figure inside the barrier.
What caught Chen Qiang's attention was that the red-haired man not only had a gorilla-like Blood Puppet, but he was also controlling two Corpse Puppets at the same time!
During the competition between the two academies at the Southern Lake Dao Academy, Chen Qiang had learned from the conversation between Dean Qi and Dean Zheng that if one's cultivation was insufficient, it would easily lead to a backlash in the future!
However, the red-haired man inside the barrier didn't have any such worries!
Previously, Chen Qiang hadn't seen it clearly, but now that there were fewer and fewer people left, Chen Qiang realized that of the two Corpse Puppets controlled by the red-haired man, one stood by his side to protect him, while the other fought with the gorilla-like Blood Puppet. As a result, the red-haired man was always in an invincible position!
Needless to say, the red-haired man would definitely be heavily groomed by the Sky Pillar Division in the future.
In fact, although the selection competition hadn't ended, the red-haired man had already been noticed by the four experts in the air.
The elder in charge of the Blood Puppet Division watched the red-haired man's performance and nodded repeatedly.
When the green-robed elder beside him saw this, he said enviously, "Old Feng, it seems like you have already chosen your personal disciple, right?"
Old Feng didn't hide his excitement at all and laughed heartily. "That's right! Elder Tong, that red-haired boy was born to be an elite cultivator of the Blood Puppet Technique. He will definitely become someone great in the future!
With the potential he has shown, he can enter the Sacred Hall at any time!
How can I, Old Feng, let go of such a genius? "
"Yes, it seems like the seedlings of the Blood Puppet Division are quite good this year. It would be a pity to continue fighting. It's not easy to nurture a Blood Puppet Division disciple. Old Feng, in my opinion, why don't we leave the remaining hundred people behind?"
"Yes, let's wait for a few more minutes!" Old Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the remaining hundred or so disciples in the barrier.
After five minutes, there were still no casualties in the barrier. Old Feng waved his hand and the barrier immediately disappeared.
"Good! The selection competition of the Blood Sophora Division is officially over! "Old Feng, who was in the air, shouted in a deep voice. The survivors, who were in a killing frenzy, finally stopped.
However, in a short period of time, they didn't have time to withdraw their Blood Puppets. Therefore, when a powerful Blood Puppet smelled the scent of the onlookers, it immediately rushed over.
"Ah — Run!" The disciples of the Pill Division and Weapon Division who were spectating didn't have strong cultivations. When they saw this, their expressions changed greatly. In addition, the smell of blood that had just been released from the barrier was too strong. They quickly scattered in all directions.
