On the Fenghua Platform, many elders dressed in the Cangye College's uniform walked up. They all stood at the very front of the Fenghua Platform and were divided into different areas. Then, they placed the bookmarks in their hands on the Fenghua Platform.
The names engraved on the bookmarks represented all the strong cultivators participating in the Fenghua Banquet. Over ten thousand bookmarks meant that over ten thousand people would be participating. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to be chosen by the emperor to enter the Fenghua Rank.
These elders were all strong cultivators in the Arcana Plane. Their cultivation was extremely high and they could almost remember everything they saw.
"Wang Teng, Zhuo Fei, Li Yun …" Just then, the elders began to call out names. Those whose names were called all descended from the sky and landed on the Fenghua Platform. Some flew in the air, some were sent down by demon beasts, and some just jumped off. The entire Fenghua Platform shook.
As one hundred bookmarks were taken out, it meant that one hundred names had been called. Soon, one hundred people appeared on the Fenghua Platform.
The Fenghua Platform was so vast that it could easily hold one hundred people. Everyone stood in different positions, making it very spacious.
Moreover, these people were all in the Six-Starred Glory Plane. This was the lowest level allowed to enter the Fenghua Banquet. If they were any lower, they wouldn't need to participate.
"Out of the hundred of you, only three can continue to the next round. Of course, it's also possible that none of you can. So, show off your abilities now. Remember, if you can't win, you can surrender. Once someone surrenders, you cannot continue attacking. Also, don't kill," said an elder from the Cangye College.
One in a hundred was chosen. There were too many people participating in the Fenghua Banquet. Thus, the most outstanding people had to be quickly filtered out. They were placed together with those of the same plane. This was slightly fairer and allowed the truly outstanding people a chance to stand out. At least, they wouldn't be eliminated in the early stages.
In an instant, the Spiritual Qi on the Fenghua Platform went berserk. The sorcerers immediately distanced themselves from the others while the martial arts cultivators looked for opportunities. Soon, someone started attacking the people around them.
The battle was about to start. It was ignited instantly.
In the air and on the ground, countless eyes fell on the Fenghua Platform. Ye Futian also watched seriously.
There were no weaklings among those who qualified to attend the Fenghua Banquet. Among these people, many had already revealed their talents in both martial arts and sorcery. Some were gradually revealing their talents as sorcerers of multiple elements. Of course, there were also many Mandate Sorcerers.
The battle that erupted was extremely intense. It was a chaotic battle. Even though some people were stronger, they were still surrounded and beaten down. This kind of chaotic battle was extremely challenging. Being strong didn't mean that one would be able to walk to the end, unless one had an absolute advantage.
But in the end, it was just a battle between Six-starred Glory Plane cultivators. Many people were not very interested. The geniuses who were the most popular were usually Eight-starred Glory Plane cultivators. It was almost impossible for anyone below the Eight-starred Glory Plane to be named by the emperor.
After the first batch of strong cultivators finished their battles, the elders of the Cangye College announced that no one had passed. They were all eliminated, even if they were the final winners.
"The lower one's cultivation level is, the more talent they need to display in order to continue moving forward," everyone thought to themselves.
Following that, another hundred people were called, and the chaotic battle continued.
There weren't many Six-starred Glory Plane cultivators, less than a thousand. After all of them had finished, the elders of the Cangye College began to call out the Seven-starred Glory Plane cultivators.
There were still some people in the Seven-starred Glory Plane who were more anticipated. The battles were obviously more violent and intense.
Finally, Yu Sheng's name was called out from a group of strong cultivators. Ye Futian personally sent him down.
But at the Fenghua Banquet, no one paid attention to Yu Sheng's name. No one knew who he was or how strong he was. They only knew that he was slightly burly.
Among the group of strong cultivators who went up to the Fenghua Platform with Yu Sheng, there was one person who caught everyone's attention.
It was Yun Di of the Beast Clan. He was a young genius. He wasn't even 17 years old but was already in the Seven-starred Glory Plane. He was also a beast tamer. He was naturally close to demon beasts and could make them listen to him. He was also a Mandate Sorcerer.
Yun Di's skin was dark and he wasn't big. However, he had an extremely wild aura about him. As soon as he went up the platform, he caught everyone's attention.
This young man was only in the Seven-starred Glory Plane but he was said to be qualified to be called by the emperor. It was obvious how outstanding he was.
"These people are unlucky. They're in the same group as Yun Di."
"Seven-starred Glory Plane. Of all people, they had to go up against Yun Di," many people said.
Hearing the discussions around him, Ye Futian knew what kind of person Yun Di was. He glanced at Yu Sheng and a smile appeared on his face.
Yu Sheng's first battle was going to be accompanied by someone who was highly regarded on the Fenghua Rank? He was very lucky.
Other than Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, probably only Cen Xia of the Cangye College knew Yu Sheng. She shook her head inwardly. Being in the same group as Yun Di, she was probably going to be eliminated in this round.
On the Fenghua Platform, everyone's attention was on Yun Di. He put a leaf in his mouth and began to blow on it. The sound was slightly piercing. However, in the air, many demon beasts became agitated. They were the mounts of the strong cultivators.
Hum. A Glory Plane demon beast actually abandoned its master and went in Yun Di's direction. The master of the demon beast was naturally also a participant of the Fenghua Banquet. He fell from the sky pathetically. He didn't cultivate wind elemental sorcery and had only come on a demon beast. Now, he was being controlled.
It wasn't just him. Soon, many people had the same experience. Flying demons below the Dharma Plane all abandoned their masters and went in Yun Di's direction.
"Do it." Many strong cultivators rushed towards Yun Di. They were actually planning to team up against him. Although they still might not pass, they would have some hope after defeating Yun Di.
However, at this moment, a terrifying beast tide erupted on the Fenghua Platform. Dozens of beasts wreaked havoc. Many of them were at the pinnacle of the Glory Plane. With so many beasts attacking together, a large group fell in one attack.
"This …" Many people were speechless at this scene. The emperor also looked at Yun Di with admiration.
Before long, almost everyone on the Fenghua Platform had fallen. Those who hadn't already left the battlefield and admitted defeat. How were they going to fight when dozens of demons were summoned?
"As expected, there was no suspense." Many people smiled. They sympathized with Yun Di's group.
Yun Di put down the leaf and stopped blowing. The demons were still circling around him, unwilling to leave. It was extremely strange.
But at this time, Yun Di saw someone still standing there. He didn't seem to have moved from beginning to end.
"You're not going to admit defeat?" Yun Di asked the burly figure.
"Thank you for helping me get rid of these people," Yu Sheng said. His words stunned everyone in the sky. Was he thanking Yun Di for helping him get rid of those people?
"Uh …" Ye Futian blinked. Ever since Yu Sheng had come out with him, he had changed a lot. What he said was … not wrong.
Yun Di was also stunned for a moment, but then he grinned and continued to pick up the leaf and blow on it. Suddenly, the demonic beasts around him went berserk again, pouncing towards Yu Sheng.
"Bloom." Ye Futian smiled. Yu Sheng was destined to be dazzling at the Fenghua Banquet.
At this moment, a wild golden light enveloped Yu Sheng's body, as if he was wearing a layer of God of War's armor. Seeing a wild eagle flying towards him, Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and directly clawed at the eagle's sharp claws. With a crack, the eagle's sharp claws were caught by Yu Sheng's hand.
In the next moment, Yu Sheng swung the eagle's body with one arm and smashed it forward. With a rumbling sound, several demonic beasts that were rushing over were sent flying by the force.
"This …" Everyone was stunned. The demons behind them became even wilder. Yu Sheng took a step forward and the Fenghua Platform seemed to shake.
At this moment, he actually gave off the illusion that this burly fellow was a humanoid demonic beast.
He threw a punch at one of the demonic beasts that was rushing towards him, and the berserk demonic beast was actually sent flying.
Thud, thud! Yu Sheng walked on the Fenghua Platform. He reached out with both hands and grabbed a red-winged tiger that pounced at him. The tiger tried to bite his neck, but Yu Sheng covered its mouth with both hands and tore it apart.
"Is he still human?" Everyone was shocked. They realized that the demons behind them were no longer listening to Yun Di's commands. They didn't dare to move forward anymore. Yun Di was a beast tamer, not a beast tamer. He couldn't have absolute control. Under absolute fear, the demons wouldn't listen to his commands.
Yun Di's expression changed as well. He removed the leaf from the corner of his mouth and released his Life Spirit. It was an extremely wild demonic lion, like the king of all beasts. He ran as fast as a demonic beast and moved like a monkey. When he got close to Yu Sheng, he leaped into the air with the agility of a leopard and landed on top of Yu Sheng's head like a bolt of lightning. Then, the shadow of a lion king seemed to be attached to his body. His palms turned into sharp claws that could cut through anything. His strength was terrifying as he clawed at Yu Sheng's head.
Yu Sheng's movements were not slow at all. His body moved like a phantom, and his palms blasted towards the sky, directly colliding with Yun Di's sharp claws. The powerful force sent Yun Di flying. Just when Yun Di wanted to use the momentum to escape, Yu Sheng took a step forward and flew up like a bolt of lightning. His palms directly grabbed Yun Di's arm.
In the next moment, everyone watched as Yu Sheng slammed Yun Di's body onto the ground. The Fenghua Platform shook again.
There was silence around the Fenghua Platform. When Yu Sheng stood up straight and looked at the emperor, many people's hearts trembled.
It seemed that the so-called most popular person at the Fenghua Banquet wasn't invincible. They were in the same plane, but they were crushed!
