"Oh? Brother Ye, little sister Ningxue, you're here as well. "
Ye Wuchen turned around and saw Long Zheng Yang, who was sitting in the last row with a smile on his face. He waved his hand, and the two people on his right respectfully left their seats. Ye Wuchen didn't stand on ceremony, and pulled Ningxue to sit down as he smiled and asked, "With big brother Long's status, why are you sitting in the corner?"
Long Zheng Yang shook his head as he bitterly smiled, "I hate myself for being so lazy when I was younger. No matter if it's in terms of martial arts or literary skills, I'm far inferior to these geniuses."
"I can't agree with that. Big brother Long is the Crown Prince of a country, and will definitely surpass them in the future. They can protect themselves and kill people, but big brother Long has millions of people to protect him. With a single word, he can easily take away or save millions of lives. Big brother Long doesn't need to feel inferior. "Ye Wuchen said.
"Even if that's the case, if I was just an ordinary person … ai, let's not talk about it. Brother Ye, with your abilities, why don't you try to participate in this competition? I'm sure that with brother Ye's skills, you'll definitely shine. "
Ye Wuchen shook his head, but didn't say anything.
Based on this world's ranking system, the two people on the stage were most likely Level 7 or Level 8. To have such skills at such a young age was incredibly rare. No less than expected from one of the most powerful youths in the country.
With a 'clang', the person holding the axe was knocked to the ground. The young man holding the sword pointed at the person's throat, a pleased look on his face. Powerful youths were usually very arrogant, and this could only be changed as they matured.
"In that case, there are only three people left. At this point, everyone knew that there wouldn't be a second person who would be the final victor. Although the Lin family's Lin Xiao is only in his twenties, he already had Level 10 strength last year, and is publicly acknowledged to be a peerless genius. He'll definitely grow again this year. There shouldn't be any suspense. "Long Zheng Yang said.
Level 8s were experts, and Level 10s were experts among experts. If one reached the Spirit level, they would be able to establish their own sect. Heaven-rank could be a grandmaster. He had reached Rank Ten before the age of twenty. Perhaps he would reach Spirit Rank in a few years, and Heaven Rank before he reached middle age. Other than the Sword God that everyone looked up to, which one of the seven Heaven-rank experts in Tenryū Province wasn't a genius among geniuses? However, all of them only comprehended the Heavenly Dao after 60 years of age.
Rank 10 … His current strength at the second level of the Dawnless Secret, what kind of height would it be to this world?
At this time, a black shadow flashed on the stage, and a man in black jumped onto it. As soon as he ascended the arena, the originally fervent atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet. Because compared to the battle intent emitted by the other participants, what he emitted was a murderous intent. Moreover, it was icy cold, sharp, and seemed material. Even some of the Young Masters and Young Ladies of the great clans that didn't know martial techniques clearly felt a strand of coldness.
It was him! Looks like I came just in time. Ye Wuchen turned his attention to the arena.
"Who is this person?" Long Yin, who was dressed in an eye-catching imperial robe, calmly asked. His originally calm face revealed obvious interest.
"This person is called Cold Cliffs, but it might be a fake name. He performed well yesterday, but he was too ruthless. More than half of the 20 people who fought with him were crippled. "An old man sitting in front of Long Yin turned around and said solemnly. He was the Principal of the Sky Dragon Royal Academy, a Heaven-rank Fire Magician, Lin Yan. His other identity was the younger brother of the Lin family's Old Master, Lin Kuang. He was also the main host of this competition.
Long Yin nodded slightly: "No matter what happens in today's competition, just based on his aura, we have to make him stay. If he doesn't want to stay … then double the reward and let him be. He's a poisonous snake. If he's loyal to someone, he'll become a sharp sword in his hand. If he's forced, he'd rather bite back than yield. "
"I understand."
The sword-wielding youth, who was originally full of himself, was frightened by the black-clothed youth's gaze and aura. He actually took a step back in front of everyone. At that moment, the black-clothed youth's body shot forward like lightning, and a cold light flashed in his hand as it pierced through his body.
The sword-wielding youth cried out in pain. The sword fell to the ground with a 'clang'. At the same time, his right hand that was holding the sword also fell to the ground.
The crowd instantly broke into an uproar, mixed with the terrified screams of young girls. A few of them even covered their faces in fear, not daring to take another look.
The black-clothed youth who had pierced through the sword-wielding youth's body and chopped off his hand didn't turn around. Even his expression didn't change at all, as if he had just done something insignificant. A series of heart-wrenching and lung-splitting screams came from behind him, and then the screams finally stopped. He had actually fainted from extreme fear and pain.
However, there weren't many people reprimanding him. This was because it was clearly written in the rules of the competition: Injuries and deaths are unavoidable, and no one is allowed to seek revenge.
A few people went up onto the stage and carried the person's body away, then casually cleaned up the blood-covered stage. Ye Wuchen inwardly sighed: Was this a way to select talents, or to destroy them?
Would true experts really participate in a competition like this? Ye Wuchen shook his head: No! Participating in a competition like this was all for fame and status, and it was very difficult for people with such distracting thoughts to become true experts. Even this black-clothed youth, if it wasn't for the circumstances, he wouldn't have participated.
As for that Chu Jingtian, who was always smiling, even if he was here, he definitely wouldn't have participated. Moreover, how many true experts would be willing to give up their freedom and their lives to the royal family?
"So strong! That burst of power was simply too shocking, and it was almost impossible to defend against. It's just that he was a bit too vicious. After all, this is just a competition. "Long Zheng Yang sighed.
"No, it's precisely because this is a competition that he showed mercy. Otherwise, he would have cut off his own neck. "Ye Wuchen said, somewhat disapproving of Long Zheng Yang. If he couldn't even accept such viciousness, how could he become an Emperor?
"… This sort of person can't be so unknown. Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"He's called Cold Cliffs." Ye Wuchen said. He had heard every single word of the conversation between Lin Yan and Long Yin, but Lin Yan hadn't heard anything at all.
"Could it be that brother Ye knows him?"
"I don't know him."
"… …"
There were only two people left. One was from the Lin family, Lin Xiao, and the other was …
"I am Nangong Zhen. Brother, please show some mercy."
This was a tall man who looked to be in his twenties. As he spoke, he waved his hands, and a ball of red fire- he was someone who could cast fire magic.
