About a month after Xu Liao arrived at the East Ocean Dragon Palace, East Ocean announced the start of the Selection of the Son-In-Law.
The Selection of the Son-In-Law of the East Ocean Dragon Palace was actually quite boring. First, they had to verify the purity of the bloodline. Then, they would arrange a contest of dharma powers. After that, the ten candidates would be chosen by the dragon girls.
The test of the purity of the bloodline was not difficult for Xu Liao, and he easily got an A rating.
As for the contest of dharma powers, it was not a competition in the arena. Instead, it was a contest with the warriors of the Dragon Palace. The one who could defeat five people in a row passed the test. The Dragon Palace had selected more than 100 warriors, and each of them had their own unique techniques. It was not easy to defeat five people in a row. However, this test could be repeated, and it was not decided in one battle.
Xu Liao had gone through countless red tape procedures of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. He was so upset that he almost fell asleep, and he finally made it to the contest of dharma powers.
In order to show off their power, the East Ocean Dragon Palace opened a large arena. From afar, it looked like a bubble. Whoever entered the arena would be randomly assigned an opponent, and the onlookers could clearly see the contest of dharma powers. It was a very fair move.
The only thing that surprised Xu Liao was that the host of the contest was Prime Minister Turtle of East Ocean.
The Prime Minister of East Ocean, Gui Tianqi, had the bloodline of the Turtle Dragon and was known as the No.1 in the Four Seas. He was even more famous than Wen Zhong who was the No.1 in the South Ocean. Not only was he a peak-stage big demon general who had opened 72 Dao meridians, but he was also proficient in countless secret techniques. He was extremely intelligent and had a long life. No one knew how old he was, but they knew that he had served many generations of East Ocean Dragon Kings. He was even the Prime Minister of East Ocean during the era of the Four Seas Map and the True Dragon.
No matter who it was, there was only one comment about Gui Tianqi, the Prime Minister of the East Sea. He was unfathomable!
Prime Minister Gui Tianqi was not clumsy like the other turtles. He didn't have a turtle shell on his back, but he was tall and handsome. Although he didn't look like a teenager, he didn't look old either. Instead, he had the vigor of youth.
He didn't say much. He just gave an order for the young demons to choose the time to accept the challenge. Then, he left with the guards of honor.
As the Prime Minister of East Sea, there was nothing wrong with his behavior. Although he didn't mean to be arrogant, his overbearing aura was fully revealed.
After the Prime Minister of the Eastern Sea left, Xu Liao was the first to step into the arena. In front of him was a general in black armor, holding a battle axe. He shouted, "You're out of luck, I'm …"
Xu Liao casually waved his hand, and a black sword qi streaked across the sky, instantly killing the black-armored general. He thought to himself, 'Who is your grandmother? What does it have to do with me?'
The death of the General of Dragon Palace shocked the besiegers. It was common to see no bloodshed in this kind of competition to select a son-in-law. Even if the competition was dangerous and there were some casualties, it would not be like Xu Liao's side, where one sword would kill one.
After killing the General of Dragon Palace, Xu Liao casually collected the body, but he found that under the suppression of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, he couldn't be sent into Yumingshan's Concealing Array, so he could only temporarily seal it in a small cave.
The second General of Dragon Palace could also see the situation of the battle between his companion and Xu Liao. He was slightly shocked. The person Xu Liao just killed was a famous General of East Sea, who could break through the Demon King Realm and step into the Demon General Realm at any time. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Xu Liao casually.
He knew that he was no match for Xu Liao, so he hurriedly shouted, "You can't kill me!"
Xu Liao's body only cultivated the Heavenly Insight Sword Scripture and had no other spells. He still slashed and cut off half of his opponent's body, showing mercy.
After severely injuring the second General of Dragon Palace, a third came out in the blink of an eye. Xu Liao still showed mercy and defeated five people in a row in the blink of an eye. He was sent out of the Grand Sparring Arena.
Xu's actions drew the attention of countless people. However, he was so ferocious and murderous that no one dared to speak. After exiting the Grand Sparring Grounds, there were naturally people who invited him to the side to rest. He had already passed the test of fighting techniques, so his status was naturally different from before. Even if Xu Liao wasn't chosen by the Dragon Lady in the end, he could still join the East Sea Dragon Palace and earn some status with his bloodline and ability.
With Xu Liao's ability, even if he didn't become the son-in-law of East Sea, he would still have a bright future. Therefore, the subordinates of East Sea didn't dare to slight him.
Xu Liao went to the VIP room at the side. This VIP room was a huge sea clam. The two shells, one above and one below, held up a transparent space like a bubble. Sitting inside, one could see the situation in the Grand Sparring Arena from midair. There was also a beauty serving him inside, preparing some East Sea specialties.
Xu Liao waited for a while and saw another two or three people barging into the Grand Sparring Arena. On a whim, he took out a box of Yumingshan Grass Sticks and lit one up. Naturally, an East Sea beauty served him good wine, making him feel very satisfied.
He watched two battles and curled his lips slightly. These people's Dharmic powers were ordinary. Only when Ao Tianxiang also entered the Grand Sparring Arena did he slightly perk up. He wanted to see how his Junior Brother's Dharmic powers were now!
Ao Tianxiang was even more ferocious than him. After all, the Green Dragon Sun Suppressing Hammer Technique was a top-notch Killing Technique. With a swing of his hammer, a general was instantly turned into dust. Then, he met a second general who was also turned into dust with a swing of his hammer. The people guarding the Dragon Palace behind him didn't dare to prepare another opponent for him. After a short discussion, they sent him out of the Grand Sparring Arena, allowing him to pass.
The rest of the demons weren't outstanding. Be it the West Sea King's grandson or the burly man, they were all ordinary. However, Chi Ling 'er's appearance made Xu Liao a little more spirited. After all, he was personally trained by the Stepping Sea King and Little Crane Thousand Year Crane. Therefore, he had learned the strengths of both of them. His Vast Sky Ten Transformations was also quite impressive. However, due to the limitation of his bloodline, he couldn't break through to the Demon King Realm. After defeating five powerful enemies in a row, he didn't look proud. Instead, he looked a little unhappy.
He knew his family's situation. Both his parents were top-notch Great Demon Marshals. However, his bloodline wasn't pure. Therefore, even though he had top-notch cultivation techniques, was extremely hardworking, talented, and had good comprehension, he still couldn't cultivate to the Demon General Realm. Whenever he thought of this, he would often feel depressed.
Even so, Chi Ling 'er still felt that he wasn't bad. Even if he couldn't compare to those who had broken through to the Demon General Realm, he was still considered top-notch among the Demon Kings.
He didn't come to the East Sea Dragon Palace because of his parents' orders. Instead, he left his parents abruptly and wanted to be proud. Therefore, he came to the East Sea Dragon Palace instead of going to Yuxiao Mountain to be apprenticed to his master. In his mind, he would be able to pass through all the trials and bring his beautiful wife to be apprenticed to his master.
Chi Ling 'er didn't expect that even though he was at the Demon King Realm, he wouldn't be able to display his abilities. With two people attacking him consecutively, their powers were so fierce that unless he used the Two Realm Banner to evade, he would most likely be killed. He couldn't help but regret coming here. He should have gone to Yuxiao Mountain to be apprenticed to his master earlier.
