Ping Yang City, Central Square!
Yu Haoran could not help but sigh as he looked at the contestants around the high platform whose faces were flushed and their breathing was getting heavier.
The potential test was only the first round of the sect selection. Passing the potential test did not mean that one had successfully entered the sect.
Unless you were like Yu Siqi and displayed monstrous potential during the potential test, the only way to catch the attention of the sect would be in the upcoming challenge.
Of course, even if one passed the following challenge, it did not mean that one would officially become a disciple of the sect.
This was because after entering the sect, there would be a more detailed potential test and a ranking competition. That test and competition would truly determine whether one could become a disciple of the sect.
Yu Haoran clearly remembered that less than a hundred of the contestants who passed the potential test were eventually chosen by the sect. However, less than thirty percent of them could pass the internal competition of the sect.
Even if they eventually became a disciple of the sect, the number of people who could truly grow in the future could be counted on one hand.
Looking at the agitated reactions of nearly five hundred young contestants below the high platform, the white-haired old man had a gentle smile on his face. However, if one looked closely, one would realize that a trace of contempt flashed across his eyes from time to time.
"Potential is only a part of the test to become a disciple of the sect. Next, it is time for you to display your abilities."
When the emotions of the contestants below the high platform reached their peak, the white-haired old man nodded to the expert who was in charge of the test in Ping Yang City.
After that, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was dressed in blue, leaped onto the high platform. He looked coldly at the contestants on the stage and announced in a loud voice.
"The following competition will be a one-on-one challenge!"
"However, we will not arrange the name list. You will each find your own opponent. There are no restrictions during the fight. You can use weapons or use secret moves as long as you can win."
"At the same time, in order to allow you to display your abilities as much as possible, there will be no stoppages during the competition. The outcome of the competition will either be death, injury, or surrender!"
At this point, the blue-robed cultivator looked directly at the spectators around the square and threatened them.
"If there are any injuries or deaths during the competition, the force behind the injured contestant is not allowed to take revenge."
"If we find out, we will definitely exterminate his entire sect!"
In the face of this threat, the upper echelon of the various factions outside the square showed no change in expression.
Because they knew very well that the threat of the blue-clothed powerhouse was just to better stimulate the blood of the contestants, so that they could truly unleash all their potential, so as to give them a pleasant surprise.
If one killed a contestant with a powerful background but was not selected by the sect, when the sect experts left Ping Yang City after the sect preliminaries ended, those contestants who offended the background of the killed contestant and were not selected would not be able to escape the fate of being killed.
This was the unspoken rule of the Sect Selection. Moreover, this unspoken rule was unknown to the young participants. Even the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion and the various families did not know about this unspoken rule.
Of course, this did not include Yu Haoran!
After threatening the upper echelons of the forces outside the square, the blue-clothed powerhouse continued.
"The final result of the duel. The winner can rest for three minutes before continuing to search for the next contestant."
"If the sect is satisfied with the loser, he can be taken in directly and arranged to stay in the area that belongs to your sect. If the sect is not satisfied with the loser, he can leave the square immediately."
"The top ten contestants will be decided in this competition. These ten contestants can choose their own sect, and the chosen sect cannot reject them."
Yu Haoran, who had experienced the rules of the tournament in his previous life, had a calm expression when he saw the blue-robed elite announcing the rules of the tournament. But his reaction to the nearly six hundred players was different.
When the powerful contestants heard that there were no restrictions and that they could choose their opponents at will, other than their peers who were on par with them, most of them looked at those who had a personal grudge against them but never had the chance to take revenge. A sinister smile appeared on their faces.
On the other hand, some contestants with average abilities and talents looked at the high platform with pale faces, considering whether to withdraw from the competition.
On the east side of the square, the City Lord of Ping Yang City, Qin Yuelin, made a beheading gesture to the few young clansmen who had passed the potential test and entered the competition. Then, he looked directly at Yu Haoran and Yu Siqi.
The Great Elder of the Yu Clan did the same thing as Qin Yuelin. He made a beheading gesture to the seven direct descendants of the Yu Clan to kill Yu Haoran and Yu Siqi.
As for the Cheng Clan and the Wang Clan, they did not have any enmity towards Yu Haoran and Yu Siqi. They only gestured to their descendants to do their best, hoping that they would be able to pass the competition and save their lives.
After explaining the rules of the competition, the blue-clothed powerhouse did not continue to talk nonsense. He bowed to the seven people on the high platform and directly jumped off the high platform.
Originally, he wanted to use his footwork martial technique to rush in front of Yu Haocheng and kill him in front of the Great Elder and Yu Hongyang. He wanted to let the Great Elder and Yu Hongyang have a taste of losing their loved ones.
However, just as he mobilized his Origin Energy, on the high platform, there was only one beautiful woman who was wearing a long blue dress. She had a peerless appearance and an extremely cold temperament. She instantly appeared in front of Yu Siqi.
"Little girl, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ouyang Aoxue. I am from the Ice Snow Palace, one of the top seven sects in the Tianxuan Continent. I am an elite disciple of the Ice Snow Palace's Seventh Elder."
It was indeed Ouyang Aoxue who had rushed in front of Yu Siqi. She introduced herself in a very gentle manner.
However, the cold aura that she carried caused her to give people a feeling that she was difficult to approach even though she had a gentle attitude.
"Yu Haoran greets Senior!"
Seeing the stunned Yu Siqi, Yu Haoran could not help but tug on her sleeve, telling her not to be rude in front of Ouyang Aoxue.
"Yu Siqi greets Senior!"
Facing Yu Siqi's respectful greeting, Ouyang Aoxue only gave a slight nod and continued, "Mm!"
"Yu Siqi, not only is our Ice Snow Palace one of the top seven sects in the Tianxuan Continent, most of the disciples in the palace are female. It is very suitable for a disciple with your potential and qualifications to join. I wonder if you are willing to join our Ice Snow Palace and become a disciple of our Ice Snow Palace?"
Perhaps it was because of her personality, or perhaps it was because of the pride of being from a top sect, Ouyang Aoxue did not make any promises. She was only purely asking if Yu Siqi had any thoughts of joining the Ice Snow Palace.
"Junior Sister Ouyang, what you are doing is not very proper!"
Just as Yu Siqi was about to discuss with Yu Haoran to see if the Ice Snow Palace was suitable for her, an amiable voice rang out.
