At the last second, the trial came to an end.
The participants had been selected.
Naturally, Su Lingyue, who had been hiding her strength, was one of them. She had accumulated a lot of points. She was ranked fifth!
Luo Fengtian was also one of them. He was the only one who didn't have a Dreamland Stone. He had killed his way into the Top 10 by himself. He was ranked seventh with 36 points!
One-third of the participants in the trial had been killed by Luo Fengtian!
His performance had caught many people's attention. He had left a deep impression on them. He was listed as a dangerous opponent and could be ranked among the Top 50!
Apart from Luo Fengtian and Luo Fengtian, the other eight participants were all powerful as well. Some of them were from the Ye family, the Liu family, and the Qin family.
Of course, some of them were the core members of their families and enjoyed a high status. Some of them were the descendants of concubines who had been living in seclusion. They didn't have a great reputation. Their rise to fame had caused a sensation!
The first trial came to an end when the 10 participants had been selected.
The participants who had made it to the next round were cheered and applauded. They walked off the stage under everyone's gaze.
As for the participants who had failed, they left the stage in low spirits. Some of them found the ones who had killed them in the crowd and glared at them.
Luo Fengtian was the most eye-catching of them all. Most of the hostile glares were directed at him.
Even so, Luo Fengtian kept a straight face, as if he didn't care at all.
Su Lingyue, on the other hand, was still in a state of shock and relief. She was thrilled to know that she had made the breakthrough. She had finally been relieved.
As Su Lingyue walked off the stage, Su Ping felt the need to educate her about the Moonfrost Dragon's abilities. He didn't want to be held back by her overly cautious behavior in the later rounds.
"Congratulations, Brother Su." Qin Shuhai congratulated Su Ping with a smile.
"The Qin Family is doing well as well. You have a lot of good seeds," Su Ping added.
Qin Shuhai grinned.
Then, the second round began.
Another one of a hundred participants.
With the experience of the first round, no one dared to attack the people around them in the ancient battleground. They all waited quietly.
This time, the map was also a comprehensive battleground. But it wasn't a forest, but a plain. There were small patches of woods for hiding and swamps and boulders could be found on the plain.
Every time, the map of the battle would be different to ensure fairness.
Su Ping lost interest in the following matches after seeing Su Lingyue pass. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Qin Shuhai didn't know what to say to Su Ping. He had wanted to accompany Su Ping and watch the young master of the Qin Family fight so that Su Ping could understand how talented he was.
But Su Ping didn't seem to care.
Is he really that confident?
Time zipped by.
As the matches came to an end one after another, the audience would burst into cheers and shouts.
In these trials, there were many fierce characters. In one of the trials, a person killed nearly seventy people and stole five Dreamland Stones. He took the lead in terms of points. Even among the ten trials, he ranked the highest and attracted a lot of attention.
"The future family head of the Ye Family is quite vicious!"
"It's not true but he must have offended a lot of people by killing so many people."
"I heard that the future family head of the Ye Family is very talented. If it weren't for the fact that he had to participate in the Elite League, he would have become an advanced battle pet warrior a long time ago."
"What kind of monster is he to be able to unleash strength close to the ninth-rank at the sixth-rank?"
In the staging area, people were discussing.
In the area where the disciples of the Mu family were gathered, a young man in the middle was the leader. That young man was the current future family head of the Mu family. He was a few years younger than the future family head of the Ye Family. Clearly, he didn't plan to achieve a high ranking in the Elite League this year. He was only there to gain experience.
"This year, the Ye family and the Qin family will have a good fight," a disciple of the Mu family said.
The last generation of the Mu family was the champion of the selection. In this generation, Mu Chen, the future family head of the Mu family, had just graduated from the academy. His wings were not fully developed yet. Naturally, he didn't plan to fight for the championship again.
Every dog has its day. The Mu family didn't expect to win the championship again.
"That Liu Jianxin from the Liu family isn't bad either. He is not the future family head, but he is a talent of the Liu family," Mu Chen commented calmly.
His goal this time was to make it to the Top 10. However, he was still looking down on those who could compete for the Top 5 or even the Top 3.
Because he was the future family head of the Mu family.
Give him another three years and he would aim for the first place in the next Elite League!
At the other side, in the area where the disciples of the Liu family were gathered.
"Brother Jianxin, that is Su Lingyue. She is quite pretty." A disciple of the Liu family chuckled.
Liu Jianxin, who was sitting among them, took a look. "Don't underestimate her. I don't think that dragon is using its full strength."
"It doesn't matter even if it is. I think it is at the eighth-rank at best, just as our family head predicted. Also, that girl is weak. No matter how powerful her pet is, it won't matter if she is taken care of."
"It's a pity that I didn't run into her. Otherwise, she would go home and cry after the trial."
"Well, I was in the same venue as her but I couldn't find her."
"Well, the real opponent is that guy from the Qin family. That Qin Shaotian hasn't revealed his main battle pet yet. His secondary pet with a seventh-rank bloodline was able to advance easily. I heard that he killed a ninth-rank beast in the Mysterious Realm. I don't know if it's true."
"Ninth-rank? How is that possible? "
"Even if he did, he must have done it with the help of the seniors in the family. Where did you get that information?"
The disciples of the Liu family looked at the Qin family with a grave expression. They didn't know if the information was true or not. Still, Qin Shaotian's performance was terrifying.
It wasn't the pets that were scary, it was the way Su Ping handled the battle. Su Ping's casual and artistic way of fighting was both gorgeous and terrifying.
…
The Qin family's area.
A tall and composed young man sat in the middle of several disciples of the Qin family. He didn't look anywhere else. Instead, he raised his head and gazed at the blue sky above the stage.
The white clouds were floating in the sky. He was enjoying the view.
"Young master, the future family head of the Mu family hasn't grown up yet. But his Path Protector is terrifying. He seems to be keeping a low profile but his combat strength cannot be lower than the eighth-rank!"
"The same goes for the Liu family. Apart from their future family head, there's also that Liu Jianxin. He's strong as well. I heard that he's guaranteed to make it to the Top 5."
"The 'dragon' of the Ye family is powerful as well!"
The disciples of the Qin family were reporting to Qin Shaotian.
However, after they finished their report, they noticed that their young master was still gazing at the sky.
They looked up as well but couldn't see anything.
They looked at each other with a bitter smile. One of them asked cautiously, "Young master, did you … hear what we just said?"
Qin Shaotian closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened them again. "Do you see that sword?"
Sword?
The disciples looked up. Apart from the clouds, there was no sword in the sky.
