Chapter 880

"Rules are only used to filter out trash. If there are any good ones, the Dark Phoenix Palace might be able to break the rules."

A voice came from the palace above the black phoenix's head.

Hai Tuo was surprised. The Dark Phoenix Palace was going to break the rules of the Dark Phoenix Palace?

He had been watching the competition all this while, but he had yet to see any young fellow worthy of the Black Phoenix Palace breaking the thousand-year-old rule. Could it be that he had missed one?

Outside the hall, the Illusion Hunter God's expression changed slightly. Her expression turned grave as she pondered. Could it be that the secret realm's information was leaked? That was possible. After all, the Mysterious Realm had many geniuses coming to train. Su Ping's attempt at the Illusion Stele happened too fast and he didn't have time to cover it up.

"Those guys …"

The Illusion Hunter's eyes turned gloomy. He had a hunch that the Dark Phoenix Palace was after Su Ping. Apart from that, he didn't think there was anyone worthy of the Dark Phoenix Palace breaking the rules to accept as a disciple.

The Illusion Hunter's eyes flickered as he thought about the materials Su Ping had mentioned. His mind was connected to a distant place.

While the Illusion Hunter was sneaking around, the old fist master on the Sky Fist Mountain snorted. His voice rumbled in the void like a clap of thunder. It was a vacuum but everyone could hear it clearly.

"All the members of the Dark Phoenix Palace are women. Are they going to break the rules and accept a male disciple? Aren't they afraid of ruining the reputation of all the women in the Dark Phoenix Palace? "

"That's the Dark Phoenix Palace's business. It's not your place to meddle."

"Hmm!"

The two confronted each other. The old fist master didn't say anything else. Still, his test had yielded results. The Illusion Hunter's target was indeed a male. He had basically figured out the whole story.

Hai Tuo stood in the void and blinked. He was confused. It seemed that the two of them had come with a goal. They were already fighting before they even started watching. They didn't have a close relationship but they didn't have to fight each other every time they saw each other.

"Which young man do you have your eyes on? How about I ask him to come out and meet you?" Hai Tuo asked curiously. At this moment, he really wanted to know who could make these two fellows come out of the mountain to fight over him.

"My lord, can't you tell? Hmm, that's true. I don't think that young man can display his full strength in the early rounds. But since the Illusion Hunter is here, he must know better than anyone else. "

The old fist master sneered.

The Illusion Hunter thought for a moment and said calmly, "You're quite well-informed."

"Oh?"

Beside him, Shadow raised his eyebrows. Was there really some kind of monster hiding in this competition?

He recalled the previous rounds. There were indeed a few promising young men, but they weren't enough to make people fight over them. After all, they were all Ascendant State experts who had lived for a long time and had seen too many geniuses. Even the geniuses who had a chance to become peak Star Lords were only qualified to be their disciples in their eyes.

They wouldn't go to such lengths to recruit them.

After all, no matter how many peak Star Lords there were, they were just ants in front of the Ascendant State experts.

"What's going on?"

Hai Tuo sensed something when he saw the Illusion Hunter God. He vaguely guessed something. "Did you find a genius in the Illusion God's Mysterious Realm?"

He had been quite confused when the Illusion Hunter God showed up, but he immediately realized that it was obviously here with a target.

"There's one who's quite talented, so I'm here to see his performance. If possible, I'd like to take him as my disciple." The Illusion Hunter God didn't intend to keep it a secret anymore. It said calmly, "This young man and I hit it off. I'll take him as my disciple after the competition."

Hai Tuo smiled and said, "He must be quite outstanding if you're here in person. At the very least, he's as good as the disciple of the North Sea God of Swords."

"He's not just as good; he's an instant kill!" At this moment, a heavenly voice came from the Black Phoenix Palace. It was pleasing to the ear but indifferent to the extreme. "He broke the record of the Illusion God Monument's hundred levels as a Body of Destiny. Even the Illusion Hunter God's result back then was nothing more than this. This young man has the potential to become a god!"

"Heh, he hit it off with you. How come I heard that he didn't even respond to you when you offered him an olive branch?" The old fist master snorted coldly.

Hai Tuo and Hidden Shadow were stunned. There was a guy who broke the Illusion God Monument's hundred levels?

The Black Phoenix Palace Master was right. This young man indeed had the potential to become a god!

If he was nurtured properly, the probability of him stepping into the Apotheosis Realm was not low!

Having a disciple at the Apotheosis State would double his status in the Apotheosis State. After all, the relationship between master and disciple was still very important in the Federation; it was no less important than that of parents. Most experts' parents had already died of old age; even if they were sent to the Star State with some resources, they wouldn't be able to live for tens of thousands of years.

The master and disciple of the Apotheosis State, on the other hand, could stay together for a million years. They could live for an entire era as long as they didn't run into any danger!

The Illusion Hunter narrowed its eyes and said coldly, "I didn't know that the old fist master liked to sneak around for information."

Hai Tuo came back to his senses with a strange look in his eyes. He said, "Since you're all here for the same person, why don't you watch the competition first? It'll be up to you to decide who can recruit the other after the competition is over."

"Does the Overlord also want to participate?" Palace Master Black Phoenix asked indifferently.

Hai Tuo smiled and said, "If the little guy you like is willing to be my disciple, I won't refuse. Of course, I won't compete with you. You can rest assured about that."

As a Lord of a major galaxy, it wasn't that he didn't have a disciple, so he didn't care too much about it.

"The Overlord is broad-minded. I admire you."

The old fist master said and didn't say anything else.

The Illusion Hunter God heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little afraid that Hai Tuo would also compete. After all, in terms of resources, the three of them didn't have as much as Hai Tuo, so it would be difficult for them to compete.

"Who is this friend from this planet?"

Palace Master Black Phoenix's attention shifted to Rhea, feeling the Apotheosis State's power.

"A friend from another galaxy. Maybe he's a friend of the disciple you're going to accept." Hai Tuo smiled and said meaningfully.

…

With the arrival of the two Apotheosized Gods, not only were the countless planets in front of the media excited, but the contestants on the Void Continent were also excited.

Those who were accidentally eliminated all sighed. They didn't have a chance to perform in front of the Apotheosized Gods anymore.

Those who advanced, on the other hand, had excitement in their eyes. If they could be favored by the Apotheosized Gods, they would be able to become their disciples.

With the support of the Apotheosized Gods, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted in this galaxy?

"There are quite a lot of Apotheosized Gods." Su Ping also saw the two Apotheosized Gods in the sky. Including the principals of the five academies, there were quite a lot of Apotheosized Gods in that galaxy. The Federation's influence in the entire universe was not weaker than that of the Demigod Burial!

"It seems that the overall combat strength of the Federation is equal to that of three or four advanced cultivation sites." Su Ping's eyes flickered as he calculated.

As for the top-level cultivation sites …

The gap was too wide.

The Chaotic Realm of the Undead, which left a deep impression on Su Ping, was the one that he was most afraid of. Even the elders of the Golden Crows in the ancient world of the Golden Crows were all at the Immortal State. The ancestor of the Golden Crows was suspected to be in a deep sleep. Once he woke up, he would be able to suppress the entire Federation with ease.

Unless, of course, there were also beings beyond the Immortal State in the Federation.

However, according to the information Su Ping had gathered so far, the Immortal State in the Federation was already a god of war. They were the most powerful figures in the Federation!

"Never mind. It's too far away from me anyway. Maybe I can go to the Golden Crows' world after the competition is over and find the remaining materials for the Solar Bulwark," Su Ping said to himself.

He already had a plan.

After he went to the Golden Crows' world again, he would go to the Archean Divinity with Joanna and complete her reward.

He had owed Joanna for a long time. Su Ping felt bad about it.

Luckily, Joanna had been working for the store during this time. She had been able to accumulate enough points to exchange for the next opportunity. The only difference was that her first trip to the Archean Divinity had been delayed.

…

Time zipped by.

Three days had passed.

The eliminated contestants had all been transferred from the Void Continent. There were only a few hundred contestants left in the vast continent, and the top hundred would be decided on this vast and boundless stage.

The rules of the competition had been announced on the Internet a few days earlier.

They would return to the original format of drawing lots. The rules would only change after the top 100 were decided.

"My opponent is … the Holy King?"

Su Ping was surprised to see his opponent. He didn't expect to see someone he knew.

"Sh * t!"

The Holy King pulled a long face when he saw his opponent. It was that freak Su Ping.

He would rather face the successor of the Sword God or the arrogant Dragon Emperor than meet this evildoer who had reached the hundredth level and suppressed a group of people.

"You may lose." The Queen of the Blue Sea stood next to him. Her green hair was draped over her shoulders like waves. Her skin was as fair as snow. Since the survival round was over, she and the Holy King were back to being enemies. She was even prepared to meet him in the competition. If they did meet, she would not hold back. But she hadn't met him yet.

"Maybe?"

The Holy King curled his lips. "I won't waste my energy fighting this guy. You all want me to be the pathfinder, to see what this guy is capable of. But I won't be the vanguard for you."

Su Ping had participated in the elimination round and the survival round, and the Holy King had read Su Ping's battle records. However, the Holy King could tell that Su Ping hadn't used his full strength yet.

After all, the strength he had shown in the survival round was terrifying, but it was impossible for him to reach the height of the Illusion Stele.

"Are you going to give up? That's not your style. "The Queen of the Blue Sea raised her eyebrows.

"Then what's my style?" The Sacred King sneered and said, "You don't have to provoke me. Rather than losing to him in a bloody battle, losing all of my strength and using up all of my trump cards, I might as well save my strength for later. Right now, there are six Apotheosized Gods watching from above. Perhaps there are even more Apotheosized Gods watching from the starry sky or somewhere else.

"Being able to see the gap between your opponent's strength and stop in time is also a kind of skill. A real man is one who knows when to yield and when to stand tall!"

The Queen of the Blue Sea sneered. "Men always say everything. Hmm."

"You women have to do everything!" The Holy King sneered as well.

There were several students from the Dragon Tomb Academy gathered around the Dragon Emperor and the others, including the Dragon Demon. The Dragon Demon looked at his opponent, then shifted his attention to the other side. A sinister smile appeared on his face. "It's that arrogant guy from Xiu Mia's team. Hmph, I'd like to see if he can defeat him with just one battle pet!"

"Let the Holy King have a taste of his water." The Dragon Emperor narrowed his eyes, and a hint of relief flashed in the depths of his eyes. Before drawing the lots, the person he didn't want to meet the most was that unknown guy. No one knew what method he had used to reach the 100th level.

On the Blue Planet.

Everyone in the world was paying attention to Su Ping, the lord of their planet. Everyone was shocked when they saw that Su Ping had drawn a Holy King. For a moment, there was silence.

The Holy King's performance had been impressive. He had performed well on both the popular list and the champion list. He had been ranked at the top. He had also accumulated a large number of ID cards in the previous matches. He was one of the most likely candidates to win the championship. Even if he couldn't win the championship, he would at least make it to the Top 10.

It was unexpected that Su Ping would encounter such a tough opponent in his first match.

"Mr. Su is a bit unlucky."

"I wonder if Mr. Su can win. I've seen the Holy King's previous matches. He has two powerful constitutions and his attacks are terrifying!"

"Even if he can win, he'll have to pay a heavy price. He'll have to expose his trump cards and his opponents will be wary of him. It'll be hard for him to win the championship. But Mr. Su should be able to make it to the Top 100, unless he runs into a tough opponent again and again."

Ji Yuanfeng, Qin Duhuang, Xie Jinshui and the others were all worried. Nie Huofeng also heaved a sigh. He hoped that Su Ping could amaze the entire Silvy System so that the Blue Planet would develop like a rocket. The rapid development of the Blue Planet would lead to the rapid growth of all the people on the planet, and it would soon become a developed planet.

…

At that moment, the Void Continent was divided into ten continents again.

Battles were going on in the ten zones.

The hundreds of participants were divided into ten zones, with an uneven distribution of fifty to sixty people in each zone.

Su Ping went to the seventh zone and saw the Holy King.

He didn't say anything and simply waited in the staging zone.

At that moment, the battles in front of him began.

The young man named Linghu Jian, who had a wooden sword, was also in the seventh zone. His opponent was quite strong, but he was still as arrogant as before. He defeated his opponent with a special secret technique without drawing his sword.

Linghu Jian looked at Su Ping and frowned after the battle. He then calmly returned to a student of the Sword Sovereign Academy.

The matches went on.

Exciting matches were held one after another. Participants were promoted and defeated all the time. The matches were obviously much more intense than the matches during the first round. The participants who had Star State pets would've caught everyone's attention during the first round, but none of them had Star State pets. On the contrary, there were barely any of them.

Su Ping and the Holy King were soon mentioned on the news.

Su Ping flashed and flew to the continent.
