Man Xin got eight points, but he was heavily injured by the withered branch beast. If it wasn't for the fact that the Heavenly Mandate Academy had enough healing pills, these injuries would probably have a bad effect on his future cultivation.
Following that, the other Rank Eight True Spirit Martial Cultivators began to choose their beasts to fight.
These martial cultivators had always thought that they were the pride of the heavens, so of course they weren't willing to challenge the lower level beasts. But in reality, not many people had the strength to defeat the middle level beasts.
The few people after Man Xin all chose to challenge the middle level beasts, but none of them were able to defeat the beasts. Instead, they were all covered in wounds by the beasts.
It was only at this time that everyone realized that these beasts, even if they were at the middle level, were not easy to deal with.
Finally, there were people who tried to challenge the lower level beasts.
Even when facing a lower level beast, most martial cultivators might not be able to suppress it. Many people were even evenly matched with the lower level beasts, so when they fought, they were able to unleash their full strength.
Gradually, most people chose to challenge the lower level beasts.
As for those who challenged lower level beasts, their final score wouldn't be too low. It was normal for them to get three to five points. If they failed to challenge a middle level beast, they would only get one point, or even not get a score.
If he couldn't accurately estimate his own strength, this kind of martial cultivator would definitely suffer a lot on the path of martial arts. It was normal for his score to be low.
Very quickly, over a hundred Rank Eight True Spirit Martial Cultivators finished their challenges, followed by over three hundred Rank Nine True Spirit Martial Cultivators.
At this time, the atmosphere finally became even more enthusiastic.
This was because the majority of the martial cultivators were at the level of the Rank Nine True Spirit. Next, they would be able to estimate the true strength of the others based on their own battles with the beasts.
If they could observe carefully, it would definitely be beneficial for the next few rounds.
"I challenge the middle level beasts."
The princess of the Tang Empire, Chu Huang, wore a snow-white silk robe and stood out, taking the lead to challenge.
"Alright."
Xuanji Shan Hai didn't have any prejudice against the other people who came from the Tang Empire. He extended his hand and brought Chu Huang into the manor.
Very quickly, a withered branch beast of the middle ninth level was dragged out from the crystal beast cage.
After fighting for so long, the exotic beasts that appeared were all withered branch exotic beasts like this. Their strange forms were nothing in the eyes of the crowd, because they were more or less familiar with them.
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the battle between Chu Huang and the withered branch exotic beast.
As a member of the Chu Clan, Chu Huang had naturally cultivated the Imperial Scripture of Spring and Autumn. He had also comprehended the laws of the Emperor Domain. Compared to Yu Qianning, Chu Huang was much more adept at using these powers.
"The Emperor's Law is a Mystic Jade Law, so its power is naturally extraordinary. Unfortunately, it's still not enough to deal with mid-tier exotic beasts."
Long Yu thought.
However, Chu Huang was, after all, a member of the Tang Empire's Imperial Family. Of course, he had cultivated all kinds of Imperial Martial Skills to the point of perfection. A casual move of his was a Transcendent Spirit Level Martial Skill, Imperial Qi Heavenly Flow.
Although this move couldn't defeat the mid-tier exotic beast, it prevented her from losing too quickly.
Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Chu Huang could only use the Summoning Emperor Spirit Art. This was the signature Profound Level Martial Skill passed down from the Tang Empire's Imperial Chu Clan.
The moment the Great Sword Emperor's Golden Light Emperor Spirit appeared, a golden sword radiance swept across the field. The withered branch exotic beast was forced to retreat, and finally, it was completely destroyed by the Great Sword Tornado.
In this battle, Chu Huang advanced step by step and fought extremely steadily. In the end, he obtained seven points.
"I'll challenge the mid-tier exotic beast."
After Chu Huang, Yu Qianning also chose to challenge the mid-tier exotic beast.
The mental cultivation method and martial skills that she and Chu Huang practiced were all inherited from the Tang Empire's Imperial Chu Clan. The Imperial Qi Heavenly Flow and the Summoning Emperor Spirit Art were the two most commonly used martial skills.
Unfortunately, compared to Chu Huang, Yu Qianning was still lacking a bit. After all, she had just consumed the Holy Spring Water and reached the Rank 9 True Spirit.
She quickly realized that choosing to challenge the mid-tier exotic beast was a wrong decision.
This was because her grasp of the Rank 9 True Spirit's basic strength wasn't perfect, and she couldn't control it as well as Chu Huang could. Therefore, she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position against the mid-tier exotic beast.
In the end, even if she used the Summoning Emperor Spirit Art and used the Great Sword Emperor and the Winged Emperor against the withered branch exotic beast, it didn't have much of an effect.
If Xuanji Shan Hai hadn't stopped her in time, the unwilling Yu Qianning might have been killed by the exotic beast.
"Three points."
When the final score was out, Yu Qianning's face turned green.
Chu Huang was able to defeat the mid-tier exotic beast, but she, Yu Qianning, was at a disadvantage from start to finish. This undoubtedly showed the difference in strength between them.
Although they were both in the Rank 9 True Spirit Martial Path, Yu Qianning's strength was only in the lower Rank 9, while Chu Huang's strength was in the middle Rank 9!
"I challenge the high-tier exotic beast."
Tian Yutian stood out, and the moment he said that, everyone around him looked at him in a new light.
It had been a long time since anyone challenged a high-tier exotic beast!
The Ten Thousand Arrows Sect's disciples looked at Tian Yutian and sneered.
"This guy actually chose to challenge a high-tier exotic beast, he's simply courting death!"
"That's right, didn't you hear Senior Xuanji say that an upper Rank 9 exotic beast's strength is comparable to an Empyrean Realm expert?"
"This idiot, does he really think he's on par with an Empyrean Realm expert?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
The Ten Thousand Arrows Sect's disciples hated Tian Yutian to the core. They knew very well that their talented Senior Brother Youqiong, who had cultivated the Shadow Binding Arrow to an extremely high level, died in Tian Yutian's hands.
Moreover, there was a grudge between Tian Yutian and the Ten Thousand Arrows Sect, so this scene wasn't strange at all.
When Tian Yutian stepped onto the stage, Xuanji Shan Hai and the overseers exchanged glances and nodded. They could tell that Tian Yutian's strength was indeed strong.
However, his strength was still dependent on his performance on the spot. The level that he could actually display was definitely different from what they had estimated.
The upper Rank 9 exotic beast was extremely ferocious. If Tian Yutian could defeat an upper Rank 9 exotic beast, then he would undoubtedly qualify for the final twelve places!
"It's the Divine Monument's Law, no wonder this kid is so confident."
When Tian Yutian displayed the Purple Light Divine Monument's Law in the manor, many people outside came to a sudden realization.
Over four hundred young geniuses participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection came from different countries. Of course, most of them didn't know Tian Yutian.
But from now on, they knew each other.
Not only did they know him, but they also took Tian Yutian seriously. If they were to meet Tian Yutian in the later rounds, they must be careful!
In the end, Tian Yutian managed to defeat the upper Rank 9 exotic beast despite being injured.
Long Yu nodded to himself. It seemed that Tian Yutian had not wasted his time. His control over the Purple Light Divine Monument's Law had become much more adept.
"Ten points."
After Long Yu, Tian Yutian was the first person to obtain ten points. Because of that, many people were wary of him.
This person was definitely a strong contender for the final twelve places of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection!
After Tian Yutian, the young geniuses went up one by one to challenge the middle or lower Rank beasts. Occasionally, there were martial artists who dared to challenge the upper Rank beasts.
Those who challenged the upper Rank beasts were mostly people who were very confident in their strength, such as Tian Yutian.
Among the four hundred or so martial artists from the surrounding areas, there were naturally many geniuses like Tian Yutian who could defeat the upper Rank beasts.
Although none of them had it as easy as Long Yu, most of them had scored ten points. These were strong contenders for the final twelve places.
Long Yu carefully observed each person who went up to the arena. He was able to quickly familiarize himself with the fighting style and strength that most of them had displayed.
However, there were also many who concealed their true strength, and Long Yu couldn't see through them. There was nothing he could do about it.
"I have to be careful of these people."
Long Yu thought to himself. He also paid attention to martial artists who concealed their strength, such as Ling Longyu from the Tang Empire.
When this veiled girl went up to the arena, even Xuanji Shan Hai frowned slightly. Obviously, he couldn't see through her and guess her true strength.
Linglong Yu had only challenged a mid-tier exotic beast. However, she managed to kill it effortlessly, earning her a score of eight in the end.
There were very few people who could defeat a middle Rank beast and get eight points. Obviously, Xuanji Shan Hai and the others knew that Ling Longyu had concealed her strength.
Among the people in the Rank Nine True Spirit, there were indeed many geniuses. Chu Huang from the Tang Empire couldn't be considered an expert among these geniuses.
Among these people, Long Yu paid special attention to Sword Wing and Hongyu from the Soaring Sky Tribe.
Hongyu had obviously stepped into the Rank Nine True Spirit after Long Yu left the Soaring Sky Tribe. His current strength was similar to Chu Huang's. Sword Wing, on the other hand, was much more stable. He had challenged an upper Rank Nine beast and won with difficulty.
"Sword Wing actually has the strength to challenge an upper Rank Nine beast …"
Long Yu narrowed his eyes.
This meant that Sword Wing's strength was not much different from Tian Yutian's.
If he met Sword Wing in the later rounds, he must not underestimate Gui Gu's Sword Wing. If he was not careful, he might die in his hands.
More than four hundred geniuses chose to fight with the beasts one by one. It took them a full three days to finish fighting them one by one.
In the end, it was finally the turn of the young geniuses in the Heavenly Secret Realm to choose to challenge the beasts.
Six young geniuses who had stepped into the Heavenly Secret Realm, each of them was a proud son of heaven. Of course, the beasts they challenged were all upper rank beasts!
The first to go up was Ji Tianqi from the Heavenly Cloud Sword Country.
Ji Tianqi had just stepped into the Heavenly Secret Realm not long ago, but he was able to break through the astral wind of the Fifth Heaven. People couldn't help but sigh at his talent, but no one knew how strong his combat strength was.
