The First Elder in the middle said sullenly, "It is hard to say. The Drifting Snow Sword Sect, the Sun Moon Gate, and the Supreme Unity Palace all have powerful geniuses, not to mention the ten thousand years of accumulations of the eight Noble Clans. We can only be sure when she comes out. "
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a resplendent clump of light burst out from the bright multicolored light. That light was like the morning sun rising slowly.
The beautiful Yue Chenxi was in the middle of the light. Under the illumination of the multicolored light, she looked like a fairy, elegant and refined.
"She is out!"
All the multicolored light suddenly gathered together and formed a rainbow bridge. Yue Chenxi walked on the rainbow bridge towards the three elders.
"Chenxi greets First Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and Third Martial Uncle." Yue Chenxi smiled and bowed slightly.
The First Elder carefully sized up Yue Chenxi. His face was filled with shock. He muttered, "A peak Consummation half-step Martial Monarch!"
Yue Chenxi revealed a faint smile and said, "I have also comprehended the state of light and state of cloud to their limits. I have also reached Great Perfection in the Morning Sun Fist."
The First Elder laughed loudly and said, "Good. Now, you are finally qualified to fight for the last two spots in the top ten."
The eight Noble Clans had ten thousand years of inheritance. Every Noble Clan had produced a Martial Emperor. Their descendants all had the bloodline of Martial Emperors. All of them had astonishing talent and were outstanding people.
In every Five Nation Youth Competition, the top eight would be filled with different people. The only thing that did not change was that the top eight were all disciples of the eight Noble Clans.
This was a fixed pattern that could not be changed. Furthermore, there had never been any surprises.
Even for someone as strong as Yue Chenxi, the First Elder could only say that she could fight for the ninth and tenth spots. It was impossible for her to get into the top eight.
However, Yue Chenxi's expression did not change much. She only raised her head and looked in the direction of the Great Qin Nation in the distance. Her eyes revealed some anticipation.
Yue Chenxi muttered to herself, I wonder how strong that fellow is.
Now that two years had passed, he had relied on the Daybreak Flower to improve his strength by leaps and bounds. Could he, who was alone and without a sect, still catch up?
In the Evil Moon Pavilion, one of the top ten super sects in Jin Nation, there was a moon-shaped lake.
The top genius of the Evil Moon Pavilion, Bai Zhan, stood expressionlessly in the middle of the lake. At first glance, the lake was calm and tranquil.
But if one looked carefully, under the mirror-like surface of the lake, there were countless specks of red light that were constantly jumping.
Their numbers were almost the same as the lake, half to half.
If one's cultivation reached Martial Monarch and could extend out their Mental Energy, they would be shocked to discover that the specks of red light were actually hot sparks.
Water and fire countered each other. This was the eternal law of nature. But at this moment, there were so many strange sparks burning in the vast lake.
Wave of Raging Ice Flames!
Suddenly, Bai Zhan, who had a calm expression, shouted. The lake water that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupted; the surface of the lake surged.
Countless pillars of water turned into ice, and the sparks burned into raging flames that soared into the sky.
Finally, they merged into ice and fire, forming a huge shockwave that headed for a mountain range in the distance.
"Bang!"
A huge amount of energy erupted. The small mountain peak that was over a kilometer tall was blasted into powder by the impact of the shockwave.
That was not all. Unexpectedly, a huge pit appeared in the ground below the mountain. It was a hundred meters wide and bottomless.
Bai Zhan revealed a maniacal smile. He laughed loudly and said, "I finally achieved the perfect Ice and Fire Compatibility. Xiao Chen! You managed to escape with your life in the Boundless Sea. In the Five Nation Youth Competition, I will make you lose face in front of everyone. "
Tianwu Continent, Great Chu Nation, Heavenly Sword Gate:
Ding Fengchou stood on a mountain peak with his hands behind his back. Eighteen swords danced in the air in front of him, forming all sorts of formations.
The long swords trembled in the air, giving off a buzzing sound. Everywhere they passed, a pitch-black tear appeared in the air, disappearing in a flash.
These swords could even tear space temporarily. It was hard to imagine the might of these swords.
"Senior Brother, you can control eighteen swords with your Defensive Sword Technique!"
Jin Wuji, who had rushed over from behind, exclaimed in shock when he saw this scene.
"Xiu!"
Ding Fengchou casually withdrew the eighteen swords into his spatial ring. He smiled gently and said, "Yes. However, I cannot maintain it for long."
Jin Wuji said joyfully, "That is great. That Xiao Chen is definitely not a match for you. With eighteen swords flying out, no one under Martial Monarch can receive them."
Ding Fengchou appeared very calm. He smiled faintly and said, "That is hard to say. Let's not talk about this for now. Why are you looking for me?"
Jin Wuji recovered his wits and said, "The Sect Master told me to look for you. He said that the Five Nation Youth Competition will start in seven days. He wants you to go and choose a Secret Treasure."
"Let's go, then!"
Similar situations occurred in every corner of the Tianwu Continent. As the Five Nation Youth Competition entered its countdown, all the genius cultivators in closed-door cultivation came out one after another.
All the genius cultivators in closed-door cultivation came out one after another, filled with boundless confidence as they waited for that day to arrive.
In the back mountains of Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen sat before a waterfall. He looked somewhat leisurely as he watched the never-ending waterfall fall.
Three days ago, Xiao Chen had completely mastered the final move of the Four Season Saber Technique, Cycle of Seasons. He named it Cycle of Seasons Endless Growth.
He had already comprehended the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique to Great Perfection and the Four Season Saber Technique to the point of comprehending it.
As for his other Martial Techniques, such as the Battle Sage Origins' Changing Character Formula, the Strength Character Formula, the exclusive Saber Technique of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit, the Dragon Subduing Slash, and the exclusive Movement Technique of the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art.
Due to various reasons, Xiao Chen could not cultivate the peak Martial Techniques of the Tianwu Continent for now.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen decided not to cultivate bitterly. Instead, he came here every day to look at the waterfall and chat with Ao Jiao.
He waited quietly for that day to arrive, tempering his mental state.
The Battle Sage Origins' Changing Character Formula required Xiao Chen's cultivation to reach a deeper level before he could continue practicing it. Otherwise, he would only be able to cultivate it on the surface, and his opponent would be able to see through it easily.
As for the Strength Character Formula, although it was hidden in the Lunar Shadow Saber, there was no mental cultivation method to it. Xiao Chen was confused and could not learn it.
Xiao Chen had already used the Dragon Subduing Slash twice. The painful experience from back then was still fresh in his mind. If he wanted to live, how would he dare to use it again?
Xiao Chen guessed that the requirement for this Dragon Subduing Slash was not a cultivation realm but a physical body.
Only when the physical body reached a certain level and could withstand the horrifying shockwaves would one be able to control it freely.
"After you advance to Martial Monarch, you should be able to cultivate the Battle Sage Origins' Changing Character Formula. Sang Mu did not rely on the Changing Character Formula to become famous in his early years."
Ao Jiao, who was in the Lunar Shadow Saber, said rather calmly, "However, there is another possibility. Perhaps you are not suitable for cultivating the Battle Sage Origins. Hence, you have not been able to materialize your opponent's Martial Technique."
Xiao Chen smiled calmly and said, "It's fine. Everyone has their own path. I am a bladesman and the Thunder King is a swordsman. It would be difficult for me to walk his path again."
A saber was a saber and a sword was a sword. There was an insurmountable gap between a bladesman and a swordsman.
A bladesman was tyrannical and mighty. Aside from that, there was no other special characteristic.
A swordsman was different. The sword was a gentleman of weapons. No matter how tyrannical or mighty one was, there would always be a trace of elegance.
Of course, there was no definite conclusion as to which of the two was stronger. It all depended on the individual's strength.
Ao Jiao was somewhat surprised. She said, "I underestimated your trashy master. What you mean is that you do not want to be the second Thunder King? You only want to be your White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not deny it. He changed the topic and said, "I have always heard that the Thunder King defeated many Noble Clan geniuses in the Five Nation Youth Competition. Speaking of which, what rank did he obtain in the Five Nation Youth Competition?"
The era of the Thunder King was the same as now. It was also a time when geniuses sprouted. There were many geniuses and countless heroes.
Furthermore, the name of the Thunder King, Sang Mu, had spread throughout the Tianwu Continent after the battle on the Wind Cloud Platform.
However, the Great Qin Nation did not know which rank he obtained back then because it was too long ago.
Ao Jiao was about to say something when she heard footsteps. She could only stop herself and say, "Someone is coming."
"Ha ha! Xiao Chen, you are really free. You still have the time to look at the waterfall?" Liu Suifeng walked over with a radiant smile on his face. He did not stop smiling.
Xiao Chen looked back, and a light flashed in his eyes. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Congratulations on breaking through to Martial King."
Liu Suifeng chuckled and said, "I just broke through yesterday. This is all thanks to your Spirit Stones and Spirit Herbs. Otherwise, I would not have been able to break through the bottleneck of Martial King so quickly."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "It is just a small matter. Why are you looking for me?"
Liu Suifeng revealed a helpless expression. He said, "You … I really don't know what to say to you. There are still seven more days before the registration period for the Five Nation Youth Competition. We have to depart immediately. The First Elder is currently gathering all the qualified participants of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion."
The requirements for this year's Five Nation Youth Competition were already announced. As Liu Suifeng expected, they had to be Martial Kings below the age of 24.
Compared to the previous Five Nation Youth Competition, this was an entire grade higher. However, there would probably be more people participating.
--- Heaven Viewing Platform: In the main hall of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Xiao Chen saw the other participants of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Aside from him and Murong Chong, there were four others.
They were all people that Xiao Chen knew: Qianduan Peak's Mu Chen, Tianyue Peak's Zhang Lie, Yun Kexin, and the newly advanced Martial King, Liu Suifeng.
There were more than five thousand people in the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Only six people qualified to sign up. This was a rather unsightly number.
Xiao Chen nodded and smiled at the others, taking it as a form of greeting. Since the First Elder had not arrived yet, they started chatting casually.
They were all old acquaintances. They had participated in a life and death adventure together in a different space. They did not have any grudges against each other. Soon, they started chatting happily.
Only Murong Chong, who was proud and aloof, did not join in.
Mu Chen looked at Xiao Chen and said to Yun Kexin and Zhang Lie ruefully, "Back then, in the different space, although the three of us were weaker than each other, it was not that big. In less than two years, Xiao Chen managed to fool us."
