Ji Tianqi from the Heavenly Cloud Sword Nation had already caught everyone's attention before the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection even began.
This man was extremely talented. He was only in his early twenties, but he had already entered the Secret Plane of Celestial Beings. He was even able to break through the fifth level of the Celestial Spirit Shield in one fell swoop. Even the messengers of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Institute were amazed.
At this moment, Ji Tianqi was very confident in himself and directly chose to challenge a Human Origin high-rank beast.
The Heavenly Human Secret Realm was not divided into nine levels like the Body Tempering Secret Realm and the True Spirit Secret Realm. Instead, it was divided into the Human Realm and the Heaven Realm.
The Human Realm was divided into the Human Initial Realm, the Human Glory Realm, and the Human Tribulation Realm.
The Human Initial Stage was the stage that Martial Cultivators who had just stepped into the Arcane Stage of the Heavenly Being Realm were at. Once the energy in their bodies was refined, they would be able to step into the Human Glory Stage, and their basic strength would increase by several folds.
After the Human Glory Realm was the Human Tribulation Realm. In the Human Tribulation Realm, a cultivator would need to pass through the Human Tribulation. Once they succeeded, they would be able to step into the Heaven Realm and become an expert of the Heaven Realm.
Although they were both in the Heaven Realm, the difference in strength between the Human Realm and the Heaven Realm could be said to be like heaven and earth.
Ji Tianqi was a young genius at the Human Initial stage.
The white-robed emissary who went to the Tang Empire and brought Long Yu and the others to participate in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection was also at the Human Initial Realm.
After the Heavenly Being Secret Realm, it was much more difficult to advance to the next level than the True Spirit Secret Realm. Because of this, most of the Heavenly Being Secret Realm cultivators in the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate were only at the Human Initial Realm.
As for Ji Tianqi, he was such a young Initial Mortal Realm expert. If he was nurtured well, he could very well step into the Heavenly Realm in a few decades!
"It's a beast of the Upper Human Initial stage. You'd better be careful."
Xuanji Shanhai was also quite appreciative of Ji Tianqi. He reminded him with a smile and led him into the manor.
Everyone's gaze was attracted by Ji Tianqi, and Long Yu was no exception. He wanted to see how much of a difference there was between him and Ji Tianqi.
"It's almost impossible to defeat Ji Tianqi unless I release the True Spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds. Only then will there be some hope. But if I do that, the gains won't make up for the losses …"
Long Yu thought.
Even though he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent, he could at least see how big the gap between him and his opponent was. That way, he would have more leeway if he encountered certain situations in the next segment.
Very soon, Ji Tianqi unleashed an extremely powerful sword technique against an early-stage upper-human withered branch exotic beast.
In the Heavenly Cloud Sword Nation, most of the Martial Cultivators practiced swordsmanship. They had a deep understanding of swordsmanship, and the sword was an extremely aggressive weapon.
Ji Tianqi's swordsmanship was as such.
As he brandished his sword, sword Qi burst forth. Even the early-stage upper-level withered tree exotic beast was no match for him. Under his constant sword Qi attacks, it did not take long for the withered tree exotic beast to be chopped into dozens of pieces, completely annihilated.
"Ten points."
Without a doubt, Ji Tianqi had obtained the highest score. Coupled with his ten points in the first segment, he became the Martial Cultivator with the highest score.
However, Ji Tianqi didn't really care about the score.
After all, with his current strength, being selected to enter the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate was a given. There would be no accidents.
After Ji Tianqi, the other five Heavenly Human Secret Realm warriors went up one after another.
The obese Martial Cultivator from the Heavenly Human Secret Realm, Master Eater, and the leader of the Dragon Dou Nation, Shenshen Eagle, both chose exotic beasts of the early-stage upper-human and won.
Judging from their battle, although they weren't as straightforward as Ji Tianqi, they still held back. Obviously, they didn't use all their strength.
Ten points.
The three Heavenly Human Secret Realm warriors who challenged exotic beasts of the early-stage upper-human realm all received ten points.
There were also three Heavenly Human Secret Realm warriors. One of them was from the Ice Origin Temple, which was a large force like the Heavenly Cloud Sword Nation, the North Sea Nation, and the Dragon Dou Nation. Although they weren't called countries, their strength was comparable to that of a country.
The Heavenly Human Secret Realm warrior from the Ice Origin Temple was a woman named Xue Lan. She wore a snow-white veil, so no one could see her face at all.
However, Xue Lan's strength couldn't be underestimated. Although it seemed to be a difficult victory for her to challenge exotic beasts of the early-stage upper-human realm, she still received ten points.
Most importantly, Long Yu always felt that Xue Lan must have hidden her strength as well.
The other two were the geniuses from the two great Demon Kingdoms. Soul Valley Demon Kingdom's Shadow Demon Royal Family, Mo Shang. He looked like a pitch-black shadow, but he could transform into a human form. He was a handsome man dressed in black.
There was a tiger demon from the Ten Wilderness Demon Kingdom named Brother Tiger Man. He was also a Heavenly Human Secret Realm warrior. He was a burly man with a magnificent aura when he transformed into a human form.
Brother Tiger Man had a younger brother named Brother Tiger Man. However, he didn't enter the Heavenly Human Secret Realm and was still in the Lv Nine True Spirit. He also participated in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection.
The Soul Valley Demon Kingdom and the Ten Wilderness Demon Kingdom were the two demon kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
Whether it was Mo Shang or Brother Tiger Man, their battle with the withered exotic beasts was quite exciting. After all, they were both Heavenly Human Secret Realm warriors who could use the laws of heaven and earth they had comprehended.
The power of the laws was more than ten times stronger than the power of the Realm.
It was precisely because of this that Long Yu thought he was no match for Ji Tianqi. After entering the Heavenly Human Secret Realm, his strength had increased too much.
Perhaps when Long Yu entered the Lv Nine True Spirit, he still couldn't beat these young geniuses in the Heavenly Human Secret Realm and the Initial Human Realm.
He was not discouraged. He had a big advantage over these people, and that was the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds.
From the beginning of his cultivation until now, it had only been two or three years, but he was already comparable to these people who had cultivated for 20 years. It was obvious that as long as Long Yu was given some time, he would definitely surpass these people.
"The second round of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection is now over."
When Mo Shang and Brother Tiger Man walked out of the manor and each got ten points, Xuanji Shan Hai came to the front of the crowd, glanced at them, and announced, "Next, everyone will rest for three days. Three days later, the third round of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection will begin. Now, I won't tell you what the third round is, but I can tell you that in this third round, you will be fighting each other!"
When these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
Fighting each other!
This meant that the next round would be some form of battle!
This was a round that everyone was very eager for. After all, this was a test of their true combat ability. In the previous two rounds, whether it was comprehending the Divine Script or challenging the beasts, it was only an indirect indication of their talent.
Fighting each other would be able to better reflect their current strength!
"However, the three days that I gave you are not just for you to rest."
Xuanji Shan Hai continued, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, "In the next round, you will need to work in teams. Every three people will form a small team! You can discuss among yourselves who to team up with. There are no restrictions. Those in the Lv Eight True Spirit can also team up with experts in the Heavenly Human Secret Realm to increase their chances of winning. Of course, if you have enough confidence in your strength, you can also choose to go alone. "
When these words came out, the crowd was even more shocked.
The third round was actually a team battle round!
Although they did not know how the battle would be fought, the rules of team formation made everyone's minds active.
"Long Yu, who are you going to team up with?"
Tian Yutian asked immediately.
"There are too many people watching me. If you team up with me, I'm afraid there will be many difficulties."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes, "I want to go alone."
"Long Yu, I'll go with you."
Yan Huan Mo said as he walked to Long Yu's side.
"If you team up with me, there will definitely be many enemies."
Long Yu said, "The rules haven't been announced yet, so we don't have to rush into a decision."
"Three people in a team. My brother Lu and I will definitely be together …"
Tian Yutian's eyes were filled with regret, "Brother Long, if you want to go alone or team up with someone else, I definitely won't go with you."
What he said was the truth.
Long Yu knew that Tian Yutian and Lu Xiu had a good relationship. Lu Xiu was older and wanted stability, so he definitely wouldn't choose to team up with Long Yu.
"It's fine. It's better for you and brother Lu to go together."
Long Yu nodded, not caring about Tian Yutian's choice.
"I don't care. I'll go with you."
Yan Huan Mo was a little stubborn and said to Long Yu.
She didn't care what kind of opponents she would face if she teamed up with Long Yu. Anyway, her qualification to participate in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection was given to her by Long Yu. Even if she teamed up with Long Yu and failed, it didn't matter.
At least, she had already comprehended one-thousandth of the power of the "Fighting" character, which was more than most people.
Even if she couldn't win in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, she wouldn't lose!
"Well … Okay."
Long Yu pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
It was not the first time he fought side by side with Yan Huan Mo. Now that Yan Huan Mo had comprehended one-thousandth of the power of the "Fighting" character, her strength was not too weak.
Other than Yan Huan Mo, who took the initiative to be with Long Yu, the others almost automatically stayed away from Long Yu when Xuanji Shan Hai said they wanted to team up.
The Tang Imperial Princess, Chu Huang, looked at Long Yu apologetically and said, "Before we left, our elders told us that if there is a team round, I must be in the same team as Long Hen and Linglong Yu."
"It's fine. Do as you please, princess."
Long Yu waved his hand and didn't care about Chu Huang's choice.
Originally, his relationship with Chu Huang was not that close. It was completely normal for Chu Huang not to choose to team up with him, and he wouldn't have any thoughts about it.
However, in this way, Long Yu was still separated from the others from the Tang Empire.
Yan Huanmo was the only one who stood by his side.
"The enemies we might face …"
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across his surroundings. In an instant, he saw many people smiling at him with malicious intentions. It was obvious that they were preparing to be ruthless in the third segment.
Among these people, there were disciples of the Ten Thousand Arrows Sect, Xu Qiangyi from the North Sea Border City, Jian Yi and Hong Yu from the Soul Valley Demon Kingdom, Mondokai from the Ancient Meng Kingdom, the seven warriors from the Eastern Sun Kingdom, and even a large group of genius disciples from the Dragon Dou Kingdom.
Among them, Bai Shenying from the Dragon Dou Kingdom in the Heavenly People Secret Realm also looked at Long Yu from afar, his eyes full of killing intent.
