"Are these all the young people participating in the competition?"
Elder Tang squinted his eyes and looked at the young people in the field. The number of young people seemed to be a little small. In the past, there were not many young warriors who could successfully enter the Rong Tian Nation. Even this year, there were fewer participants.
"Wait, there's one more."
The Queen was about to say that Elder Tang had confirmed these people's qualifications, so the competition could start tomorrow. However, at this moment, the Second Duke rushed in with Du Feng.
"I changed the qualification of the selection to Body Tempering Stage Seven. Elder Tang, you won't blame me, right?"
The Queen, who was in her old age, still had her charm. She asked coquettishly with her thumb and middle finger. She looked gentle on the surface, but in fact, she hated the Second Duke to the core. Originally, it was a great opportunity for the Qingyang Sect to send Elder Tang to deal with the monsters. After spending so much effort to encourage Elder Tang to start the selection early, she didn't expect that she would fail to stop the Seventh Prince. Pang Jianshan deserved to die for his incompetence. In fact, she didn't even need to say that. Commander Pang had already been killed by the Second Duke's men.
"It's okay. If he can't reach Body Tempering Stage Seven now, it's useless even if he goes to the Qingyang Sect."
Elder Tang's words made sense. If he was talented, he would have shown it when he was young. Moreover, any talented young man would receive the full support of his family. Cultivation to Body Tempering Stage Seven was definitely not a difficult task.
"But the Seventh Prince …"
The Second Duke wanted to defend Du Feng because he had summoned his Battle Beast late, so his Cultivation had just started to improve. Besides, didn't they say that anyone who reached Body Tempering Stage Five would be qualified to participate in the competition? Body Tempering Stage Seven was a rule set by the Queen herself. How did it become the rule of the Qingyang Sect in the blink of an eye? This old woman was flirting with Elder Tang. Did she make a cuckold out of Elder Tang?
"Second Brother, do you not believe in Elder Tang's judgment?"
As soon as the Queen opened her mouth, the Second Duke choked back his words. If he continued to ask, it would be tantamount to offending the Elders of the Qingyang Sect.
"This …" The Second Prince was speechless and did not know what to say. He knew that Du Feng's beast's level was very high and had great potential. He also knew that Du Feng's current battle strength would definitely not lose to a Tempered Body Stage Seven martial artist. The last time they met, he easily defeated Murong Mansha. At this moment, he must be even stronger.
But how could his Cultivation improve so quickly in such a short period of time? Du Feng purposely concealed his aura and suppressed his Cultivation to Body Tempering Stage Six. Therefore, both the Second Prince and the Queen were arguing over whether the participant should be at Body Tempering Stage Five or Stage Seven.
"How about this? According to their age and aptitude, Elder Tang will decide who is qualified."
The Fourth Prince, who rarely expressed his opinions, suddenly opened his mouth. His words sounded impartial. This was because Du Feng was already 17 years old. According to his age, his chances of being selected were very small. However, from the Second Prince's point of view, Du Feng's Beast Aptitude was outstanding, so he definitely had a good chance of being selected.
"Good, good, good. Then let Yu 'er go first."
In response to the Fourth Prince's suggestion, Elder Tang smiled and nodded. This was because his daughter, Du Yu 'er, had an excellent Jade Peacock Beast, and she was still very young. When she arrived at the sect, she would definitely be accepted as a disciple by a few female elders.
"Jade Peacock flies to the west, until hell is over, it will never return. Beast Aptitude opens."
As the Beast Aptitude Chant was read, a beautiful peacock appeared in the hall. Its colorful feathers shone with a strange light, dazzling the eyes of those who looked at it. Eighth ranked Jade Peacock Beast, Elder Tang had seen it clearly. He was definitely not wrong. He nodded his head in satisfaction and ticked Du Yu'er's name.
"Combine!"
This was not the end. As the word 'combine' was uttered, Du Yu 'er violently collided with her Peacock Beast. Of course, this kind of collision would not injure anyone. It was a perfect fusion. Suddenly, a colorful dress appeared on her body, and a flower crown with defensive ability appeared on top of her head.
"Sister Yu 'er is so beautiful!"
When the little princess of the Eighth Prince saw Du Yu'er dressed up, her eyes almost sparkled with stars.
"I must marry Princess Yu 'er."
Great General Yu Wen Jue's son, Yu Wen Qingjin, swore in his heart. He had activated an Eighth Grade Beast during the previous Sacrificial Ceremony, which was the same rank as Du Yu 'er's Jade Peacock Beast. Although it could not be compared to the Thirteenth Prince's Lightning Tiger Beast, it had cultivated for a long time and had a lot of battle experience.
Almost everyone's gaze was attracted to Du Yu 'er. Only Du Feng lowered his head and silently thought about something.
"Look at that trash. He's so scared that he doesn't even dare to speak."
"This kind of trash is really a disgrace to the Emperor. If only I was a prince."
Some of the youths from the affiliated cities, as well as the descendants of generals and commanders, looked at Du Feng and pointed at him.
"How dare he ignore Princess Yu 'er. Watch how I take care of him in the arena."
Yu Wen Qingjin clenched his fists tightly. This guy had a strong physique, and his beast was the Golden Fur Violent Bear, which was famous for its strength. Du Feng dared to ignore the goddess in his heart, Princess Yu 'er, so he must pay the price.
"You're next."
Elder Tang had also noticed Yu Wen Qingjin. This young man was more than two meters tall, and his thick shoulders were wider than a door. He was really good for martial arts. If his beast was of a higher rank, Elder Tang could take him in as a disciple.
"Hai!"
Yu Wen Qingjin shouted and displayed his Cultivation. His True Essence surged, and his robe fluttered even though there was no wind. Cultivation in the late stage of Tempered Body Stage Nine. His foundation was solid, and his True Essence was abundant. Not only was his physique strong, his meridians were also well-trained.
Yes! Elder Tang nodded his head in satisfaction. With this kind of Cultivation and physique, even if his beast was of a lower rank, he would still be accepted as a disciple. He could also recruit him into the outer sect as an ordinary disciple, and if he performed well, he could take him in as a personal disciple.
"Wrath of Earth, Ten Thousand Miles Pagoda, activate!"
Roar … A roaring bear appeared in front of everyone. Its huge body was like a small mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Its golden fur was like a thick layer of bronze armor, and its defense was extremely high. That roar was deafening. It didn't even need to make a move to win by three points. As an eighth-ranked beast, the Golden Fur Violent Bear was obviously more powerful than the Jade Peacock. Even if it didn't combine, it could still sweep away a large group of enemies by itself.
"Good, good, good!"
