The Netherworld Qi condensed into a tyrannical stream of air and struck towards the withered tree beast.
The withered tree beast moved its body and quickly retreated backwards. Its speed was actually even faster than when Long Yu used the Dragon Sparrow Dance.
"The strength of this strange beast indeed far surpasses that of an ordinary Rank Eight True Spirit Martial Cultivator …"
Long Yu thought in his heart, "It's just that my strength is also not something that an ordinary Rank Eight True Spirit Martial Cultivator can compare to. Not to mention, the Netherworld Qi is also able to restrain this strange beast. Looks like defeating this thing is only a matter of time. "
The Drunken Yellow Springs Fist was not able to kill the withered tree beast.
When Long Yu's fist landed, the withered tree beast retreated at an extremely fast speed. Even the invisible and formless Spirit of the Yellow Springs was unable to restrain it, which showed how fast it was.
However, when the withered tree beast felt the Netherworld Qi on Long Yu's body, after its initial fear, it developed an emotion similar to hatred. It had an even greater desire to kill Long Yu.
Countless withered branches extended out, enveloping Long Yu from all directions.
"Awakening Samsara!"
Long Yu punched out. The power of samsara surrounded all the withered branches, weakening their power by more than half. Immediately after, he used the Yellow Springs Barrier to block all the attacks from the withered branches.
The angle of the withered tree beast's attack was extremely crafty, but unfortunately, Long Yu's Yellow Springs Barrier's defense was omnidirectional. No matter what angle the attack came from, it was unable to break through the defense.
"To be able to fight with me for so long, you can indeed be said to be the king of the Rank Eight True Spirit."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes.
After such a long battle, he roughly understood the methods of the withered tree beast in front of him. It was nothing more than using those withered branches to carry out some extremely crafty assassinations.
Due to the Netherworld Qi restraining him, Long Yu had the upper hand in the battle. The opponent's attacks were completely useless against him.
"It's time to end this!"
In the end, Long Yu punched out, and the Netherworld Qi exploded, condensing into a pillar of Qi that exploded from the center, blasting the withered branch strange beast into several pieces.
This scene caused the expressions of everyone, including Xuanji and Shan Hai, to change.
Long Yu actually won, and won so easily!
Xuanji Shanhai, the two caretakers of the 88 Star Beast Garden, and the four supervisors of the other Heavenly Mandate Academies were all in disbelief.
Because they knew very well how much stronger a high-rank beast's strength was than a Martial Cultivator of the same level!
It could be said that if there was a high-rank exotic beast with the same martial realm as Bei Tianyi, even Bei Tianyi wouldn't be able to deal with it so easily.
But now, Long Yu had done something that even the Academy Master couldn't do!
"This kid …"
Xuanji Shanhai narrowed his eyes.
He was very clear that since Long Yu dealt with the upper eighth tier withered branch strange beast so easily, it meant that Long Yu's true strength had long surpassed the eighth tier of the True Spirit Secret Realm.
Even a Martial Cultivator of the Rank Nine True Spirit couldn't completely suppress Long Yu!
This immediately changed Xuanji Shanhai's opinion of Long Yu.
Originally, he thought that Long Yu was just an ordinary Martial Cultivator of the Rank Eight True Spirit, but now it seemed that this kid was completely different from ordinary people.
"It's a waste of my effort to leave a place for him in the Tang Empire …"
Xuanji Shanhai thought to himself.
The one who ordered that Long Yu must participate in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection was Xuanji Shanhai. It was also him who wanted to see Long Yu embarrass himself in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection and find a chance to kill Long Yu!
If one were to say what kind of enmity he had with Long Yu, it would be a lot.
"Ten points."
"I'll also give ten points."
Soon, the four supervisors from the other academies gave their scores to Long Yu's battle. They were all seniors of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Academy, so of course they knew the strength of the upper-level strange beasts.
It was not an exaggeration to give ten points to Long Yu for being able to defeat the beast.
If ten points were not the full score, they would probably give even higher points. Unfortunately, that would not be in line with the rules.
Hearing that all four gave ten points, Xuanji Shanhai had no choice but to give ten points as well.
Although he was not happy to see Long Yu like this, objectively speaking, Long Yu's performance was indeed worthy of ten points. If Xuanji Shanhai was biased and did not give ten points, he would not only be offending one person, but four seniors from the other four academies!
These four fellows came to supervise the Sacred Selection process of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection to prevent unfair situations. If Xuanji Shanhai showed any bias, there was no doubt that the four would use it against him.
"I'll let you be complacent for now. Anyway, you will not be the final winner of the Sacred Selection of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection …"
Xuanji Shanhai thought to himself and announced that Long Yu had received ten points.
Suddenly, the more than 400 people gathered outside the 88th Star Beast Garden were all excited. Ten points, Long Yu actually received ten points!
"Ten points is so easy to get? That's too easy! "
"That's right. It seems that the upper-level eight strange beast is not that great. Later, I will also try the upper-level strange beast!"
"Look at how easy it is for Long Yu. In that case, the boy from Shuilan Country must be a piece of trash. He can't even beat a middle-level strange beast."
"That's right. I thought this ugly strange beast would be strong."
Among the more than 400 people, most people were relaxed. They were talking and laughing.
Hearing these people's words, Tian Yutian, Lu Xiu, Yan Huan, Mo, and others who knew about Long Yu's strength smiled casually.
Of course, they knew that the reason why Long Yu looked so easy in this battle was not because the ugly withered strange beast was too weak, but because Long Yu was too strong!
It was just that when Long Yu fought with the withered strange beast, he was too far away from the crowd. No one could feel the fluctuations of power.
And this caused others to have a wrong estimation of the strange beast's strength.
"Next."
Xuanji Shanhai glanced at the crowd and his eyes moved back and forth on the dozens of people in the Rank Eight True Spirit Realm.
"I'll do it!"
A disciple of the Rank Eight True Spirit Realm from the Ten Thousand Arrows Sect stood up with an arrogant and confident smile in his eyes. "I choose to challenge the upper-level strange beast!"
Obviously, this kid was not convinced that Long Yu had defeated the upper-level strange beast.
Since Long Yu could do it, then he, as a genius disciple of the Ten Thousand Arrows Sect, would definitely have no problem!
As Long Yu walked out of the manor, he could not help but smile when he heard that the disciple of the Ten Thousand Arrows Sect had made the same choice as him.
It seemed that this kid was in for a hard time!
…
In the depths of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
In a place far away from the Eighty-Eight Star Beast Garden, there were several small halls floating in the outer space beyond the eleventh level of the Heavenly Star.
These small halls were not built together with the palace of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, but they still belonged to the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
And the Northern Academy Master, Bei Tianyi, who had just left the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, appeared at the door of one of the small halls.
"Yuyao."
Bei Tianyi, dressed in a white robe, stood at the door and called out lightly.
There were several courtyards in the floating hall. The scenery was quiet, and the clouds and mist lingered like a fairyland. Even for Martial Cultivators, it was a very happy thing to be able to live in it.
Logically speaking, with Bei Tianyi's status, who would dare to refuse him?
It was a pity that he was now calling his daughter, Bei Yuyao.
There was not the slightest movement in the hall, which made Bei Tianyi a little angry.
"Yuyao, don't you want to see your son?"
Bei Tianyi snorted coldly and said directly.
As soon as he said this, there was finally movement in the hall.
A purple cloud floated over, and then a hazy figure dressed in light purple appeared in the lingering clouds inside the hall. Although her face could not be seen clearly, it was definitely a beautiful woman who could tempt all living beings!
"Master, is my son participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection?"
The woman's voice was faint, without joy or sorrow, making it impossible to judge her emotions.
"You should still call me Master."
Bei Tianyi sighed.
"Are you not the Master?"
The woman asked in return.
"Let's not talk about this today."
Bei Tianyi waved his hand and continued, "Your son really did come to participate in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection. It's a pity that he has just entered the Eighth Tier of the True Spirit. Even now, you still don't believe what I said back then? "
"You said that my son's martial arts talent was definitely not good, that he was not even qualified to enter the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, right?"
The woman asked lightly.
"That's right, that's what I said."
Bei Tianyi said coldly, "Now the truth is right in front of you, do you still not believe it?"
"The results are not out yet, are they?"
The woman's tone was indifferent, and she was not affected by Bei Tianyi's words at all.
"Although they are not out yet, Yuyao, with your son's cultivation of the Eighth Tier of the True Spirit, how do you think he can be in the top 12 of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection?"
Bei Tianyi said lightly.
"You say he is my son, but don't forget, he is also your grandson," the woman said.
"You better give up.
I, Bei Tianyi, will never recognize him as my grandson. "
Bei Tianyi snorted. "Since you trust him so much, how about we make a bet?"
"I like the bet."
The woman laughed softly.
"If he cannot pass the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, then you must forget about that man!"
Bei Tianyi thought of that man, the man who took away the happiness of his daughter's life, and he could not help but feel angry.
"If he passes, you must let me go. I am going to find Long Zaitian."
The woman's tone was rather firm. "This bet is very fair, isn't it? I am just afraid that you will regret it when the time comes. "
"Don't worry, I, Bei Tianyi, will never go back on my words."
Bei Tianyi snorted coldly and turned to leave the small hall floating in the air.
The hazy figure of the woman in the hall was once again hidden in the lingering clouds, disappearing without a trace.
No one else knew what happened here, and Bei Yuyao probably did not know that someone was already planning to frame Long Yu in this Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection!
