Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, 88th Star Beast Garden.
At the entrance, more than four hundred genius martial arts practitioners watched the disciple of the Ten Thousand Arrows Clan being carried out, covered in blood. None of them could believe it.
This disciple of the Ten Thousand Arrows Clan was a genius of the Rank Eight True Spirit. To be chosen by the Ten Thousand Arrows Clan to participate in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, he must be a powerful existence.
However, this disciple of the Ten Thousand Arrows Clan chose to challenge the upper eight Withered Branch Exotic Beast and was completely defeated by it. He did not even have a chance to fight back!
This made people wonder if the Withered Branch Exotic Beast that was just released for Long Yu was really an upper level exotic beast.
If the people of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm cheated, it was not impossible to release a lower level exotic beast, and no one else would know!
"This is not fair. Long Yu dealt with the upper level exotic beast so easily. How could this disciple of the Ten Thousand Arrows Clan not have a chance to fight back?"
"That's right. I think there must be something fishy. Maybe Long Yu did not deal with the upper level exotic beast?"
"That's right. Long Yu has just broken through to the Rank Eight True Spirit. How could he deal with an upper level exotic beast so easily?"
In an instant, everyone realized that not only upper level exotic beasts, but even middle level exotic beasts were extremely difficult to deal with.
And the reason why Long Yu was so relaxed just now must be because he was facing a lower level exotic beast!
A large group of people began to discuss and express their dissatisfaction.
"How stupid."
Tian Yutian could not help but sneer as he listened to the noise around him.
"Brother Tian, don't pay attention to them."
Long Yu smiled easily. "If you go up later, you should have no problem challenging the middle level exotic beast. As for the upper level exotic beast, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. But since the score is based on performance, Brother Tian can try to challenge the upper level exotic beast. "
"That's what I thought."
Tian Yutian smiled and nodded.
He knew very well that Long Yu was being chased by the Seven Calamities in Soldier Demise City. If it were not for the City Lord of Soldier Demise City blocking the Ingrate Lei Wensheng's men, Long Yu would have been long dead.
If Long Yu had a backer in the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate, would this have happened?
Tian Yutian didn't believe that the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate Realm would give Long Yu special treatment!
Yan Huanmo, Chu Huang, and others also knew that Long Yu had a hard journey. If he really had the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm behind him, how could he have had such a hard time before?
He even lost his life a few times!
However, there were always some people in this world who took things for granted.
Yu Qianning was such a person.
"It is said that this Long Yu's mother was the Virgin of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm …"
Yu Qianning stared at Long Yu with extreme jealousy and thought to herself, This time, his mother must have opened the back door for him to enter the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection … No, this Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, even if I can't win, I can't let Long Yu enter!
She was now looking forward to the actual combat segment.
She clearly knew that Long Yu had many enemies among the 400 people participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection. Once they entered the actual combat segment, there would be a chance to kill Long Yu.
Once such an opportunity came, she would definitely not miss it!
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Xuanji Shanhai's already bad mood was suddenly ignited by the gossip.
Shielding Long Yu?
Giving Long Yu a lower rank exotic beast?
Damn it!
Xuanji Shanhai couldn't wait to take out the strongest exotic beast in the 88 Star Beast Garden to directly kill Long Yu. How could he prepare a lower rank exotic beast for Long Yu and shield him?
"I repeat, this Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection is hosted by me, Xuanji Shanhai. In addition, there are seniors from the other four academies supervising, so the process is absolutely fair."
Xuanji Shanhai glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "If any of you think it is unfair, then you are doubting the conduct of the entire Heavenly Mandate Sacred Institute. If so, please withdraw from the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection immediately. We will not force you!"
As soon as these words were said, more than 400 people in the audience immediately quieted down.
Xuanji Shanhai had already said this, what else did they dare to say?
Even if they still felt that Long Yu was shielded and had gone through the back door, they could not stand out and say anything. Otherwise, if they were disqualified from the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, it would not be worth it!
For a moment, those who were complaining all shut their mouths.
"What a bunch of idiots."
The lone white-robed figure from Tianyun Sword Nation, Ji Tianqi, glanced at those people indifferently.
He could see that Long Yu's strength was definitely not just an ordinary Tier Eight True Spirit cultivation.
Even if Long Yu could deceive these people, he could not deceive the seniors from the other four academies. Even if Long Yu had connections in the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate, it was impossible for the four seniors to speak on his behalf.
It was known that the five academies of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Institute had a competitive relationship. Unless they were facing a foreign enemy, it was impossible for them to unite.
After Xuanji Shanhai said this, the crowd quieted down.
The segment of challenging the exotic beasts continued.
"Next, I will go up."
After the disciples of the Ten Thousand Arrows Clan were brought out, Yan Huanmo took the initiative to stand up and said, "I challenge the middle-level exotic beast."
She had chosen to challenge a mid-tier exotic beast after careful consideration. No one had challenged a low-tier exotic beast before. If it was too weak, it wouldn't be able to unleash much of its strength, and the score wouldn't be too high.
Yan Huanmo felt that the middle-level exotic beast was more suitable for her.
Soon, Yan Huanmo and a withered exotic beast of the eighth tier of the medium level were fighting.
Everyone was very interested in Yan Huanmo's battle, because in the first segment of comprehending the Divine Character, Yan Huanmo actually comprehended one-thousandth of the power of the Divine Character "Fighting" and got ten points.
After comprehending the power of the Divine Character, its combat effectiveness would obviously become much stronger than ordinary martial arts practitioners!
Even if it was only one-thousandth of the power of the Divine Character, it was already beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts practitioners.
In the battle, Yan Huanmo first displayed the Black Jade Level Ink Field that she had comprehended. Unfortunately, the power of the law of heaven and earth at the Black Jade Level could not deal with this withered exotic beast.
Then, Yan Huanmo had to display one-thousandth of the power of the Divine Character "Fighting". Finally, after much effort, she seriously injured the exotic beast.
Although it wasn't like Long Yu, who killed the demonic beast directly, it was still considered a victory for her.
In the end, Yan Huanmo got six points.
Her performance in the battle was quite good, so she became the one with the highest overall score among the 400 people. Including the ten points in the last segment of comprehending the Divine Character, she now had a total of 16 points.
"The power of the Divine Character is actually so terrifying. It would be great if I could also comprehend the Divine Character."
"Haha, out of 400 people, only four people comprehended one-thousandth. Do you really think it's so easy to comprehend the Divine Character?"
"Sigh, if I can't comprehend it in seven days, I won't be able to comprehend it in this lifetime. Is my talent really not good enough?"
Seeing Yan Huanmo getting six points and defeating the withered exotic beast, the crowd could not help but feel a little envious.
However, being envious was just being envious. They still had to face the withered exotic beast one by one.
"I'll go next. Middle-level exotic beast."
The next to go was Major General Man Xin from the Ancient Meng Kingdom. This burly young man in beast hide armor did not want to be outdone and chose to fight the middle-level exotic beast.
Long Yu continued to pay attention to Man Xin's match.
Man Xin's father, Man Yi, was an old general of the Ancient Meng Kingdom. He had once given his head to Long Yu and asked Long Yu to bring it back to the Tang Pass to clear his name of "treason"!
Therefore, Long Yu respected Man Xin very much.
"I can't sense any strong power from Man Xin. I'm afraid it will be more difficult for him to fight against the middle-level exotic beast."
Long Yu thought to himself.
What happened next was just as Long Yu had expected.
Although Man Xin didn't lose immediately against the mid-tier exotic beast, it was extremely strenuous for him, and he was at a disadvantage the entire time. However, he was able to protect his vitals from the start to the end.
Many wounds soon appeared all over his body, but these wounds were not fatal. He continued to fight proudly.
"He's going all out!"
As the spectators exclaimed one by one, Man Xin in the 88th Star Beast Garden actually began to fight with the withered exotic beast!
Both sides were fighting in close quarters. Man Xin covered his entire body with Qi, especially his fists, which were covered in a thick Qi armor. He punched the withered exotic beast repeatedly.
As for the withered exotic beast, countless withered branches danced all over its body and stabbed at Man Xin's body, creating one wound after another on his body.
However, none of these wounds were fatal.
"Go to hell!"
Man Xin roared angrily. Then, he punched at the place where the withered exotic beast's branches intersected, shattering the entire creature into several pieces!
After a fierce battle, Man Xin won, but his body was covered in wounds.
The withered exotic beast had just been defeated, and Man Xin could not hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss. Immediately, an alchemist from the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm came to treat him.
"Eight points!"
"Nine points!"
Everyone in the Xuanji Shanhai gave their scores.
Although Man Xin used brute force and fought with his life on the line, the five judges had a good opinion of him.
When martial arts cultivators met on a narrow path, the courageous one would win.
Sometimes, martial arts cultivators not only relied on strength, but also courage, especially between opponents of similar strength.
In the end, Man Xin received an overall score of eight points, which made many people respect him.
Everyone had witnessed the ferocity of the battle just now. Man Xin had no qualms about receiving the eight points!
At least, it was more acceptable than Long Yu's ten points.
"It's so unfair. Elder Yan only got six points, and Man Zi got eight points. It's not fair, not fair!"
Tian Yutian said, shaking his head as he looked at the field.
"Don't talk so much."
Lu Xiu frowned and reminded him.
The scoring was the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Institute's business. It was not Tian Yutian's place to speak.
As a good brother, Lu Xiu did not want Tian Yutian to be disqualified from the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection because of his nonsense.
"Haha, Brother Lu, you are still so cautious, but you are too nervous."
Tian Yutian waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all. "I was just complaining. I didn't ask them to change the score."
"Anyway, be careful."
