The aura of a Second Nirvana Quasi-God burst out. Other than the Star Nirvana Quasi-Gods, everyone felt a terrifying pressure. It was very uncomfortable.
"Junior Brother Silver Death …!"
Just then, a voice sounded in the sky. Wherever the sound wave passed, Star Silver Death's aura disappeared without a trace.
Zhong Litao stood at the tip of the black spaceship and looked down. "Today is the recruitment day of the Dark Star Temple. Junior Brother Xing, please don't cause trouble."
Although his words were polite, his meaning was obvious.
Star Silver Death didn't have the final say here!
Star Silver Death's face froze. As a Second Nirvana Quasi-God, he was a famous figure among the disciples of the Dark Star Temple. His status was similar to Zhong Litao's.
If he wanted to kill a Ninth Star Supremacy, wouldn't it be as easy as killing an ant?
However, things were different now. Now that Star Silver Death had returned to the Starry Crescent Land, his status in the Dark Star Temple was very different. He couldn't kill a disciple of the Dark Star Temple in front of Zhong Litao.
Star Silver Death retracted his aura and said, "Senior Brother Zhong, Ye Xing has a huge grudge against the Celestial Elephant Palace. Senior Brother Zhong, please give me face and let me deal with him."
As a Second Nirvana Quasi-God, Star Silver Death was very confident. Although he lowered his status in front of Zhong Litao, he didn't lose out.
Zhong Litao said indifferently, "Let him participate in the competition first. If he's ordinary and can't become a disciple of the Dark Star Temple, you can deal with him however you want. However, if he becomes a disciple of the Dark Star Temple, I'll have to take him there."
Star Silver Death's face darkened. If Ye Xing couldn't become a disciple of the Dark Star Temple, he could deal with him however he wanted. What Star Silver Death meant was that if Ye Xing could become a disciple of the Dark Star Temple, he could deal with him however he wanted. This meant that Zhong Litao didn't give him any face at all.
Star Silver Death glanced at Flowing Star, who was among the disciples of the Celestial Elephant Palace, and gave him a murderous look. Then he smiled faintly. "He won't become a disciple of the Dark Star Temple. He'll be a dead man."
Zhong Litao said, "As long as Astral Elephant Palace follows the rules, you can play however you like. But you can't break the rules. Alright, that's all I have to say. Hand over the slots and the competition will begin immediately."
The seven Quasi-Gods — Feng Hanqiu, Lu Zhenghong, Jin Hongcheng, Qiu Minjun, Feng Shaoyuan, Xing Chengji and Xuan Yuan — flew onto the black spaceship and handed the ten quotas of their respective sects to Fan Wengang and Situ Hai.
After the Quasi Gods of the seven major sects handed over their quotas, they disembarked from the black spaceship and went back to their respective places.
Every time, there would be a quota of seventy people. However, only ten people would be able to become disciples of the Dark Star Divine Palace. There was already a set of rules for the competition.
The first three rounds would be an elimination system. In the first round, 35 out of 70 people would be selected. In the second round, 18 out of 35 people would be selected. In the third round, 9 out of 18 people would be selected.
After the three rounds, the top nine would be divided into three groups. The three who won would be the top three, and then the three would face off against each other to determine the final winner.
In addition, the strongest person among the martial artists who were eliminated in the first three rounds would be selected to join the top nine in the group to become disciples of the Dark Star Divine Palace.
The rules were fixed, but the order of appearance of each quota was arranged by the three Divine Messengers. In order to prevent the strongest from meeting each other at the beginning and being eliminated, each major sect would mark the strongest person among the ten quotas. When the Divine Messengers made the arrangements, they would first separate the strongest person among the ten quotas.
Fan Wengang held the Big Dipper Sword Sect's name list in his hand. He smiled and handed it to Zhong Litao. "Senior Brother Zhong, take a look."
Zhong Litao took a look at the list and smiled. He saw that the most powerful person on the list was Ye Xing. Zhao Yanling and Feng Xiaoxiao had also been marked as powerful.
"Interesting …!"
Zhong Litao smiled when he saw the cultivation bases of Ye Xing and Feng Xiaoxiao. One was a Ninth Star Supremacy, while the other was an Eighth Star Supremacy.
After a while, the three Divine Messengers decided on the first round's battle list.
Zhong Litao said, "The competition will now begin. The first round, the first match, Yi Zian versus Yang Wenxuan!"
…
In the middle of the arena, there was an independent space. The two names that Zhong Litao called would enter this space to fight. No matter what method was used, as long as one could defeat the other, they would win.
The battles continued one after another. Although it was not a matter of life and death, most of the battles were peaceful and no lives were lost.
Until the eleventh battle, when Flowing Star Sword of Celestial Elephant Palace fought against Feng Juanyun of the Big Dipper Sword Sect. Feng Juanyun was directly split into two halves. Only then did the battle become bloody and cruel.
Feng Juanyun was a Ninth Star Supremacy. His strength was worlds apart from Flowing Star Sword's. When the battle began, he did not even have time to admit defeat before he was killed by Flowing Star Sword.
This undoubtedly provoked the hatred between Celestial Elephant Palace and the Big Dipper Sword Sect. The martial artists of the Big Dipper Sword Sect were all furious.
Even Ye Xing, an outsider, was furious when he saw this. He wanted to kill Flowing Star Sword.
On the black flying ship, the three Divine Messengers saw this and immediately changed the battle list. They separated the disciples of Celestial Elephant Palace and the Big Dipper Sword Sect to prevent them from fighting each other.
Ye Xing fought in the twenty-seventh battle. His opponent was an Eighth Star Supremacy of the Moon Severing Sect. Naturally, he was easily defeated.
The number of battles in the first round was the most. It lasted for nearly two hours.
Thirty-five people were eliminated. The remaining thirty-five people continued to fight in the second round.
Thirty-five people would fight in pairs. One person would get a bye. This bye naturally fell on the Two Star King Feng Cangtian, who had the highest cultivation base.
Ye Xing's opponent in the second round was a Ninth Star Supremacy of the Golden Lion Sect. He also won easily.
An hour later, the second round ended. In these two rounds, no Ninth Star Supremacy with extremely strong battle strength was eliminated. The ten people who were accepted as disciples of the Dark Star Divine Palace were among the remaining eighteen people.
Of the remaining eighteen people, seven were Kings, ten were Ninth Star Supremacy, and one was an Eighth Star Supremacy. To be able to win two rounds in a row, the weakest of them was a peak half-step King.
The third round was the most anticipated battle. The winner would definitely be accepted as a disciple of the Dark Star Divine Palace.
According to past practice, the three Divine Envoys would continue to avoid the strongest cultivators from the seven sects and arrange them to fight in different stages of the competition.
However, this time was an exception.
Zhong Litao placed Ye Xing, who was the strongest of the Big Dipper Sword Sect, and Jin Kuangsheng, who was the strongest of the Golden Lion Sect.
"Senior Brother Zhong …!" Fan Wengang was surprised when he saw this.
Zhong Litao raised his hand and stopped Fan Wengang. He said, "This is me giving face to Star Silver Death. Ye Xing lost, so he can deal with it. If Ye Xing's battle strength is really strong and can defeat Kings, this God will naturally not let Star Silver Death touch him."
