The first stage of the International Competition didn't change much. At most, there would only be a change in the grade.
After all, the foundation was there.
Of course, there were exceptions, just like the Xilan Kingdom that had suddenly become a high-class kingdom.
Such a situation was rare. They had only read about it in some ancient records. In other words, it was their first time witnessing such a situation.
However, the second stage was different.
It could be said that this was the focus of everyone's attention. Without the second stage, the audience wouldn't be able to sit still.
The Sage King Mountain.
This was the sacred ground that everyone yearned for.
In everyone's mind, the Sage King Mountain represented the gathering place of peerless experts. Those that walked out from there were all Martial Venerables.
Martial Venerables, no matter where they went, were formidable existences. In a kingdom, they were the pillars, the supreme experts!
As the core of the empire, the Sage King Mountain had the most abundant resources. Whether it was martial techniques, secret manuals, or strange yet powerful Primordial Secret Techniques, the Sage King Mountain didn't lack them.
However, with these three things piled up, it would be hard not to be powerful.
Entering the Sage King Mountain was everyone's dream in the Imperial City. However, it was too difficult to enter!
The second stage would have at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people participating. It would last for two and a half months. Only the top three would have the chance to enter the Sage King Mountain and obtain the supreme glory.
One in ten thousand, one could imagine how cruel it would be.
...
Inside the dazzling palace, light flowed in all directions. Everywhere was luxurious.
Xuan Yu sat in front of a purple wooden desk, flipping through the memorials in his hands. His brows were slightly furrowed as if he had encountered something troublesome.
"A tomb within a tomb …"
He muttered as he looked out of the window, as if he could see the existence of the Primordial Ruins.
The things inside the tomb of the Primordial Emperor must be shocking. That was for sure.
However, based on the current situation, it was almost impossible to obtain the things inside. Unless the black-robed man who subdued the Fire Qilin appeared again and subdued the two King Level Desolate Beasts, no one in the empire had the ability to open the tomb.
"Huh?"
After that, he picked up another memorial and read it for a while before he cried out in surprise.
"There's actually such a thing?"
His eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief. "A youngster named Hao Fen consecutively defeated the elite disciples of five Earth-grade Physiognomy Families from three kingdoms, including Shi Kun from the Shi family, in a game of stone gambling?"
"How is this possible?"
There was no need to talk about the other four clans. However, this Shi Clan was one of the clans that possessed the Desolate Era's Eye Technique. Their Art of Physiognomy was incomparably strong. It wasn't something that the other Physiognomy Clans could compare to.
However, he was defeated by a nameless kid!
This made him somewhat unable to believe his own eyes.
It was clearly written in black and white. After reading it a few more times, he finally exhaled and narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that this Haofen is a disciple of a hidden family who came out to gain experience?"
That seemed to be the only explanation.
Following that, he found a pile of memorials about this mysterious youngster and casually scanned through them. He was shocked to find out that this youngster was actually very close to a force called the Yuyue Clan. Furthermore, he even entered Master Lu Song's manor and forged a top-grade Spiritual Weapon.
"Master Lu Song is actually willing to help?"
Xuan Yu's face was filled with astonishment.
He was very clear about Lu Song's temper. Even if it was him, Lu Song might not agree to it. However, now, he was actually forging a weapon for this youngster.
That could only mean one thing. This youngster had convinced him!
"That's strange. If it's a hidden family, he wouldn't be lacking in Spiritual Weapons."
He was confused again. He didn't know why, but he felt that there was something strange about this matter. It was obvious that something was not right. However, he couldn't tell what it was exactly.
However, he knew that a youngster who might possess a Heaven-Grade Eye Technique and was only a high-level Martial Grandmaster was currently in his own dynasty.
"What exactly does that Pang Jun eat?Why didn't he ask about his background? "
He had blamed Pang Jun wrongly.
From the beginning, Pang Jun had suspected that Hao Fen might be a disciple of some hidden family. With such an identity, he wouldn't dare to ask even if he was given a few more guts.
Later on, it was even more strange. Hao Fen had been living with Lu Song.Was he seeking death or a beating?
"It seems like the only people who know about this youngster's background are Yuyue Gang's Yu Xiao and Master Lu Song."
He put down the memorial in his hand and muttered to himself.
"Yuyue Gang. Since that's the case, I'll promote them and win the youngster's favor."
After a while, Xuan Yu made his decision.
Because, regardless of this youngster's identity, just the fact that he had convinced Lu Song to forge a supreme-grade Spiritual Weapon for him was enough to prove his worth.
As he thought about it, he picked up his brush and wrote down a decree on how to adjust the Yuyue Gang's position. Then, he handed it to a guard and asked him to quickly send it to Ju An City.
Not long after, a guard clad in golden armor walked in.
"There's news?"
Xuan Yu raised his head and looked at him, then put down the document in his hand.
This guard was the one he had sent to investigate Feng Hao.
"This subordinate received the decree and rushed to the West Mist Kingdom. Moreover, I personally investigated all the information related to this youngster."
As he replied, the guard's eyes were filled with emotion.
If one really had to describe it, then this youngster's experience could only be described as a miracle.
"This subordinate has recorded everything in this booklet."
As he said that, he placed the memorial in his hand on the desk in front of Xuan Yu and then retreated.
Almost impatiently, Xuan Yu picked up the memorial and looked at it. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. In the end, his eyes were filled with emotion.
"It's too unbelievable."
Putting down the memorial in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh again.
A disciple of a small city in a middle-grade low-grade kingdom. Moreover, he was a famous mediocre person in the city. After being bullied, he miraculously rose up and used three years to soar from a Third Grade Martial Disciple to the Great Martial Master Realm.
Three years!
What kind of heaven-defying speed was this?!
If he was a monster, then he was a monster. The problem was that this youngster spent twelve years to become a Third Grade Martial Disciple. However, in a short three years, he advanced three whole realms. This kind of rise was indeed miraculous.
Without a doubt, this youngster must have obtained a great opportunity. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to have such achievements.
