The buzzing of exclamations and discussions filled every corner of the training field. Even the high and mighty sect leaders on the rostrum were shocked.
The Sect Leader of Ling Tian Sect, Xia Lingfeng, who was sitting on one of the ten main seats on the rostrum, stared at Chen Hao from afar. A hint of shock and joy flashed in his eyes.
If he did not stop him, You You's father, Xia Yutang, would not have let Chen Hao go. You You was blessed by the heavens. How could he let someone who disturbed You You exist?
It was not that Xia Lingfeng did not have the intention to kill Chen Hao at that time, but he held it in. He knew that since Chen Hao and You You obtained the inheritance at the same time and crossed paths, he must have had an even more shocking opportunity. Although it was not much at that time, there might be a miracle. Moreover, if he really killed Chen Hao at that time, it was equivalent to cutting off You You's luck and opportunity.
It was because of this that he stopped Xia Yutang.
Now, the miracle was right in front of him.
…
'Hmph! I didn't expect this kid's attack to reach the Intermediate Stage of the Embodiment Stage … However, this is even better. There's hope that we'll meet again … 'Chu Qingtian's eyes flashed coldly as he thought to himself.
"Qingtian."
At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly entered Chu Qingtian's ears.
"Hmm? There's news from the Wan Tong Trading Company? "
"Yes. However … It failed. I'm afraid we can only look for it from that kid, Chen Hao … "
"Failed? How's that possible? He's just a sectless cultivator, and the Wan Tong Trading Company can't find him? And they even announced a failure? "Chu Qingtian frowned and transmitted his voice in surprise.
The Wan Tong Trading Company was known to be omnipotent in the Eastern Continent's cultivation world. As long as one could afford it, they could get any information they wanted. For many years, there had never been any news that the Wan Tong Trading Company could not buy anything. How could they announce a failure?
"I find it strange too …"
"What did they say?"
"They didn't say anything. They just announced that the mission failed. They immediately refunded the deposit and stopped accepting the mission. Qingtian, I feel strange about this … Could it be that Chen Xue isn't as simple as she seems? "
"What do you mean?"
"The Wan Tong Trading Company should increase the price if they find the mission difficult. But it would not declare failure. Furthermore, the deadline of our mission is the end of the Inter-Sect Competition. But it's only been three days … Could it be that Chen Xue's identity made the Myriad Links Trading Company give up? "The old man transmitted.
"Impossible!" Chu Qingtian muttered to himself for a while before his eyes lit up. "You don't have to worry about this. I have my ways …"
…
Amidst the buzz of discussion, the test began again. Not long after, Chen Hao left on his own while everyone was puzzled.
For many of the disciples, there was no difference between cultivating and not cultivating at this point.
After all, the official competition was just around the corner. With such a mentality, how could cultivation have any effect? He might as well stay here and watch others perform.
One had to know that during the test, every disciple displayed their strongest attack. It was almost as if they were watching everyone perform their ultimate skills. Even though everyone knew that the real battle would be different from now, they would at least be able to understand a thing or two, right?
Once they met, they would be mentally prepared …
But Chen Hao was different.
Firstly, he had just stepped into the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Although his realm had been consolidated, it was only a consolidated realm. With the increase of his realm, the accompanying trump card would definitely change. While there was still time, Chen Hao had to completely control his soaring True Essence as soon as possible and familiarize himself with his current situation. Only when he had a clear grasp of himself would he be able to target his opponents in the upcoming battle.
…
Just after Chen Hao left, Leng Yihan, who was sitting cross-legged at the front of the seventh-grade sect, the Myriad Pill Pavilion, was constantly emitting a cold and sharp aura. He pursed his thin lips, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his eyes flickered as if he had fallen into deep thought.
"Ninety-five pills … Just by combining the Solitary Sword Technique and the Platinum Sky-Splitting Slash, his attack power has reached the middle stage of the Incarnation Realm … How can it be like this every time? I don't care! This time, no matter what, I have to … "
Leng Yihan tightly grasped the jade-like hand that resembled a woman's and took a deep breath. He transmitted a message to the sect elders and left the Martial Arts Practice Field.
…
When the test ended that day, all the big and small taverns and teahouses in the entire Dongxuan City were filled with people. Moreover, the topic of discussion was basically about this year's Sect National Competition.
Chen Hao's name was undoubtedly the most frequently mentioned name tonight.
His name was already well-known in the Eastern Continent. Moreover, everyone knew that as long as there were no accidents, Chen Hao's future growth would definitely be terrifying. It was also something that many people could not imagine. However, at the beginning, Chen Hao could not become the focus of this year's Sect National Competition. After all, his realm was obvious …
However, the terrifying power that Chen Hao displayed today had allowed Chen Hao to step into the ranks of the four great masters, Xia Youyou, Chu Qingtian, Wu Ruochen, and Gu Xing.
"It's definitely not the Four Great Young Masters this time … Ling Tian Sect's Xia Youyou has a 60% chance of winning first place and becoming the first female Young Master in the history of the Sect National Competition. We have to change the way we address her. Should we call her Young Lady?"
"Bullsh * t, Young Lady is too ordinary. I think it's better to call her Big Sister! However, I'm afraid the 60% you said is inaccurate. Although Xia Youyou's realm is at the late-stage of the Incarnation Stage, her cultivation path is like a flower in a greenhouse. How can she be compared to Chu Qingtian and the rest? Moreover, Chu Qingtian has already stepped into the peak of the intermediate stage of the Incarnation Stage. Coupled with the Origin Gate's powerful ultimate technique, he's definitely not inferior to Xia Youyou. It's hard to say who will win … "
"That's true. No matter what, no one can threaten Xia Youyou and Chu Qingtian. The first and second places are for sure. Wu Ruochen and Gu Xing have also stepped into the peak of the intermediate stage of the Incarnation Stage. Although the other top geniuses of the grade-9 sects' core disciples are a threat, they're not that big of a threat. Basically, no one can threaten them, right? After all, the entire cultivation world knows about these people. However, with the power that Chen Hao from the Star Picking Sect displayed today, I think there's some hope … "
"Impossible. I admit that Chen Hao is definitely the top genius in our Eastern Continent for the past 100 years. However, there's no hope for him in this year's Inter-Sect Competition. Although his attack power has reached the peak of the intermediate stage of the Incarnation Stage, that's only the standard. It's definitely not as good as Gu Xing and Wu Ruochen. Moreover, attack power is not combat power … That Chen Hao has just advanced, what kind of ultimate technique can he cultivate? What ultimate technique does the Star Picking Sect have that's stronger than a grade-9 sect? I know that he can at most reach the top ten. Top four is out of the question … "
"What you said makes sense. However, don't forget that such a top genius is usually not someone we can measure … "
"Let's wait and see! I actually hope that Chen Hao will be awesome. Defeating a grade-9 sect is something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years. It'll definitely be satisfying … This means that our low-level sects aren't bad either, right? Haha … "
…
After Leng Yihan left, he didn't return to his residence. Instead, he blended into the world and flew towards the outskirts of Dongxuan City at an astonishing speed.
No one knew Chen Hao's combat talent better than he did. Originally, he didn't even think about reaching a higher level. After all, even if he had a great secret, it wasn't a good thing to advance too quickly. However, after seeing the power Chen Hao displayed today, Leng Yihan stubbornly wanted to go against his master's wishes …
He thought, or rather, she wanted to walk on the same level as Chen Hao.
Because that feeling was very good. Moreover, she clearly felt that she would gain more than she would lose by doing so!
…
The next day, after the grade-6 sect test, it was time for the grade-7 sects. The number of people in each sect increased.
At this moment, in the area where the Myriad Pill Pavilion was located, the two leading elders were burning with anxiety. Especially when they saw that it was almost their turn to go on stage, they were even more anxious …
This was because Leng Yihan had left early yesterday and hadn't returned yet. Where did he go? What was he going to do? No one knew. Leng Yihan was now the strongest disciple in the Myriad Pill Pavilion. If he was absent, the loss would be too great.
Hiss!
In less than an hour, when it was almost the Myriad Pill Pavilion's turn, a figure arrived at the Myriad Pill Pavilion's area as fast as lightning. The powerful aura instantly caused the surrounding people to widen their eyes in shock.
Incarnation Realm!
After entering the Myriad Pill Pavilion, the most mysterious person, Leng Yihan, who had only recently appeared, caused a huge commotion in the Myriad Pill Pavilion. At this moment, this commotion directly swept through countless sects …
Then, Leng Yihan casually lit up 96 purple crystals with a sword strike, breaking Chen Hao's record and causing the entire martial arts practice field to explode.
When Leng Yihan became the focus of everyone's discussion, the news that Leng Yihan and Chen Hao were tied for first and second place in the Hundred Empire Ranking was once again revealed.
This caused Leng Yihan, who had been completely overshadowed by Chen Hao's brilliance, to once again emit a bright light that shook the entire cultivation world. In one fell swoop, he was no less than Chen Hao's level!
…
Tantai Lian, who was familiar with Leng Yihan, was shocked. After the shock, a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She really wanted to know what expression Chen Hao would have when he received this news.
It had to be said that even Tantai Lian felt that Leng Yihan had abnormal thoughts about Chen Hao … Moreover, she was more certain than Chen Hao and Yang Fan because this was the most terrifying intuition of a woman in this regard …
…
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. As the grade of the sects tested increased, the strength of the disciples tested became more and more terrifying. All kinds of powerful consummate skills shook everyone's heart and made them incomparably shocked. When it came to the last ten ninth-grade sects, the entire field exploded.
