It was also because of this that Lu Yuan did not resent Chris's strict and almost cruel training. Instead, he was full of gratitude.
Only strict training could sharpen a firm will. In these three months, Lu Yuan's willpower had long been as hard as steel.
After three months, the Prodigy Tournament was approaching. The atmosphere of the entire training camp suddenly became particularly solemn.
For many of the students, the three years of hard work in the training camp was all for the sake of this selection competition.
The winner would naturally be endlessly happy, but the loser was doomed to waste three years. Sometimes, competition was so cruel and fierce.
For Lu Yuan, he did not have any special thoughts about the Prodigy Tournament because he believed in his own strength. In the entire training camp, he was probably the only one who could face the tournament so easily.
Yuan Xin, who was in the same dormitory as him, was obviously more silent these days. He spent a lot of time every day on cultivation. His talent was not outstanding, barely above average in this training camp. However, it would be very difficult for him to fight for a place in the top ten.
Yuan Xin's martial soul was the Purple Jade Bamboo, a plant-type martial soul. He walked the path of the control-type, and his soul power was around rank 18.
At this age and rank, he could be considered an absolute genius outside. However, in the training camp where the strong were like clouds, he was somewhat not so outstanding.
The Purple Jade Bamboo was considered a relatively outstanding martial soul in the plant-type. Yuan Xin's innate soul power was also at rank 8. However, there were almost no weak martial souls in this training camp. The innate soul power of the students was generally not weak, and there were even students with full innate soul power. Yuan Xin's hard work was a normal thing.
As the saying goes, sharpening one's spear at the last minute will not be fast. Thinking back to his previous life, when he faced the college entrance exam, he was also very nervous, so he could understand Yuan Xin's behavior.
As for Qin Yuan, who was at odds with Lu Yuan, these days, he had calmed down a lot. Presumably, he was also preparing for the Prodigy Tournament. After all, although his strength was top-notch in the training camp, there were several people who were not weaker than him. It would be quite difficult for him to enter the top three!
However, no matter how much everyone prepared, the Prodigy Tournament was still coming.
At this moment, the training ground had already undergone some renovations. Four rings stood tall on the large training ground, and they had been specially constructed by Chris.
There were more than 150 students in the entire training camp, but not all of them had to participate in the selection. For some of the six to seven-year-old students, their stage was the next batch.
As for Lu Yuan, he was a special case. The other students were all recruited at the same time. He was the only one who was sent in halfway, so he was the youngest in the entire training camp.
All in all, there were about 120 students participating in the preliminaries. They were divided into groups according to their arenas. Each arena had 32 people, and the top four would be chosen. The last four arenas would then be filled with 16 people to decide the final ten places and the top three.
As for the division of the students, it wasn't just randomly drawn. It had to be discussed by the instructors and stewards before it was rationally divided according to the performance of the students. This was to prevent strong contestants from meeting each other in advance.
Lu Yuan was assigned to the first arena!
There were 32 people in the first arena, and one of them was a Soul Grandmaster. Apart from Lu Yuan, this Soul Grandmaster was the strongest. Coincidentally, this Soul Grandmaster was none other than Qin Yuan.
It was unknown whether or not Chris had done it deliberately, but he had actually assigned him to the same arena as Qin Yuan. This was rather interesting.
On this day, the sky was clear and the air was clear. The bright and beautiful sunlight sprinkled over the entire training camp, causing people to feel comfortable. Today was the official start of the Prodigy Tournament.
Lu Yuan had his hands behind his back, standing not far from the first arena. Apart from Yuan Xin, there was no one else around him.
That's right, apart from Qin Yuan, there was also Yuan Xin and a certain yellow-haired Li Zhi, who had been scared out of his wits.
This Li Zhi's martial soul was the Berserk Mastiff, and his soul power was at rank 17. With this kind of strength, there was basically no hope for him to enter the top 10. After all, apart from Lu Yuan and the four Soul Grandmasters, there were also five or six other rank 19 Soul Grandmasters in the training camp.
It had to be said that the Martial Soul Palace, which controlled nearly 60% of the world's Soul Master forces, had a lot of geniuses under them. If these students from the training camp were to enter the Empire's Soul Master Academy, they would all be considered top students.
But thinking about it carefully, this kind of situation was actually very normal. After all, the Martial Soul Palace was responsible for the martial soul awakening of all the Soul Masters on the continent. Although commoners didn't have any bloodline inherited martial souls, once there were a lot of people, there would always be a few geniuses. Furthermore, these geniuses mostly joined the Martial Soul Palace. In this way, the Martial Soul Palace naturally didn't lack geniuses.
"Yuan Xin, you seem a little nervous!" Seeing Yuan Xin looking at the arena with his fists tightly clenched and his breathing somewhat hurried, how could Lu Yuan not know what he was thinking?
"Hu! Aren't you nervous? "Yuan Xin asked.
After spending three months together, the two's relationship had become much closer. After getting to know each other, Lu Yuan also knew that Yuan Xin was actually a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. On the surface, he seemed difficult to get along with, but was actually a warm-hearted person.
So gradually, the two of them became friends.
"I'm not nervous. What's there to be nervous about!" Lu Yuan spread out his hands and laughed.
"That's right. With your strength, there's no need to be nervous!" Yuan Xin said snappily. Now, in the entire training camp, there was no one who didn't know of Lu Yuan's name. Together with Lin Feng and the other three, they were known as the training camp's Five Great Experts, even though this guy was only Rank 16.
"I'm different. My strength is mediocre. In this first arena, other than you and Qin Yuan, there are still a few strong opponents!" In the first arena, other than Lu Yuan and Qin Yuan, there was also a Rank 19 Soul Master and two or three Rank 18 Soul Masters. It was no wonder that Yuan Xin was nervous.
After all, with so many competitors, it was very difficult to enter the top four in the first arena. And if he couldn't enter the top four, he wouldn't have the chance to participate in the final battle for the top ten. Thus, Yuan Xin was a little restless.
"Relax. With your strength, the probability of advancing is still very high. Don't scare yourself. If the pressure is too great and you can't use your full strength, then you'll regret it!" Lu Yuan said.
"You're right!" Yuan Xin took a deep breath and said, "I hope my luck is good and I don't meet any difficult opponents!"
"Alright, alright!" Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Look, the Chief Instructor and Manager Hal are here!"
Looking at Lu Yuan's gaze, Chris, Hal, and the others were facing the sun and slowly walking toward the training ground. For a moment, they attracted the attention of all the trainees present …
