The Nobles of the Eastern Barren Territory's top forces had all heard of Xiao Wuji's name. Their disciples had mentioned him to them many times. He'd broken many records in the Ancient Barren World.
But this was their first time seeing Xiao Wuji through the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall.
All forces were naturally interested in someone who could become the top genius of the Eastern Barren Territory's younger generation. They didn't know which clan he'd choose.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Wuji.
The hundreds of meters of terrifying fate rushed into the stone wall. Then the stone wall seemed to become transparent, and a wondrous light covered Xiao Wuji's body.
"What's in the wall?" Ye Futian asked Ye Wuchen curiously. Only Ye Wuchen had tried it before.
"There's a figure formed by noble intent. It'll clash with your intent," Ye Wuchen said. Ye Wuchen continued, "Moreover, they will become stronger and stronger. If they defeat a Noble, a Noble statue will appear on the stone wall."
Ye Futian's eyes flashed. This meant that Ye Wuchen had defeated two Nobles but failed to challenge the third one. That was why two Nobles appeared on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall.
How many nobles could Xiao Wuji make appear on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall?
Soon, a noble appeared on the smooth mirror-like wall. It represented Xiao Wuji's accomplishments.
So fast, everyone thought. Clearly, Xiao Wuji had defeated his opponent in an extremely short time.
After a while, the second Noble Figure gradually appeared.
Many people were filled with anticipation. The appearance of the Noble figures on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall became more and more difficult the further one went. It was already difficult for two figures to appear. Three figures were already the most powerful. As for four figures, that was something only the most talented people in the Eastern Barren Territory could do.
How many could Xiao Wuji make appear on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall?
Gradually, the third noble appeared on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. It shone brightly. Before it solidified, a terrifying light enveloped Xiao Wuji's body.
Xiao Wuji's black hair flew in the wind. He stood steadily. The noble on the wall trembled and finally solidified.
The moment it solidified, a terrifying light rushed into Xiao Wuji's body.
Rumor had it that when the third Noble statue was imprinted on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall, one would receive great benefits. The Mirror Mountain Stone Wall would reciprocate. Xiao Wuji must be like this.
Then, an even more terrifying light enveloped Xiao Wuji's body. He seemed to be trying again. The fourth noble figure appeared faintly as if it was about to be carved into the stone wall. Strange things appeared on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. At that moment, Xiao Wuji seemed to be under extreme pressure. His body trembled slightly. One could imagine how terrifying the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall was.
Of the many people present, only a few had imprinted on the three-faced noble statues. They had experienced the scenery in the stone wall and naturally knew what Xiao Wuji was experiencing.
Finally, under that terrifying vision, the fourth noble appeared and imprinted itself on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. An even brighter light washed over Xiao Wuji's body, making him shine like glass. It was extremely dazzling.
"The fourth Noble statue." Everyone's hearts trembled. This was already the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall's record. In the past, only the top geniuses could do this. No one had ever surpassed it.
So powerful. Everyone's hearts trembled. Xiao Wuji continued his challenge. The scene on the other side of the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall could no longer be described as terrifying. Strange phenomena filled the sky and drowned out everything. Xiao Wuji's will was under unparalleled pressure. Finally, he grunted and stepped back. In the end, he could not succeed.
The light on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall shone brightly. Then, it gradually faded. The Noble statues also disappeared.
Although he had failed, no one showed any disdain. There was only respect.
Nine beats of the battle drum, eight inches of the Wall Image, and easily comprehended three statues. If he continued, he could comprehend more.
At the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall, he tied the record and made four Noble figures appear on it.
Such a battle record could be said to be glorious. Compared to any of the top figures, he was not the slightest bit weaker, and even surpassed them.
"Impressive," Ye Futian also praised. It was very interesting.
He didn't know about the others but Ye Wuchen had only left two Noble statues on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. Xiao Wuji had made four. It was clear how strong he was. Of course, this might have something to do with cultivation. Ye Wuchen was skilled with the sword while Xiao Wuji was a Full Element with multiple noble intents. Naturally, he had an advantage in challenges.
Even so, Xiao Wuji's talent was outstanding enough. No wonder all the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory had come for him.
Gu Biyue smiled at Ye Futian. One of her senior brothers was no weaker than Xiao Wuji. He was a powerful figure and the top genius of the Eastern Barren Territory.
"I'm afraid the fifth Noble statue on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall will never appear," Xiao Wuji sighed.
Xiao Wuji sighed. Then he turned around slowly and gazed at everyone. This was his first and last time coming to the peak of Mirror Mountain. After this, he would choose a clan in the Eastern Barren Territory to enter the Arcana Plane.
"Is he going to choose a clan?" Everyone's eyes flashed.
"Xiao Wuji, are you interested in joining the Royal Xuan Temple? We will give you the best treatment," someone from the Royal Xuan Temple said. Although the Royal Xuan Temple was not the most powerful among the top forces, if someone like Xiao Wuji joined, he would immediately become the core. It would be good for him as well.
The other forces all invited too. However, the Fuyun Sword Clan cultivated swords, the Sword Saint Mountain cultivated knives, the Qianqiu Temple was a Buddhist force, and the Moon Clan was a female clan. Many people guessed that Xiao Wuji would only choose the Donghua Clan or the College.
However, the two forces didn't rush to speak.
"Xiao Wuji, if you join the Qin Dynasty, we can let a princess marry you," a prince of the Qin Dynasty said. At that moment, the prince of the Qin Dynasty spoke. Instantly, the hearts of many people shuddered. The Qin Dynasty was truly ruthless. In order to recruit a peak-level monstrous genius, they actually made a princess marry a lowly man.
This way, Xiao Wuji's status in the Qin Dynasty wouldn't be worried. He could become a member of the royal family. This was to dispel some of his worries.
"The Donghua Clan is the most suitable place for you to cultivate," Hua Qingchi said.
"I'm from the College," Tang Ye said slowly. "The College invites you to join."
Everyone shuddered. Was this the College's confidence?
I'm from the College. How confident!
Countless gazes fell on Xiao Wuji. What would he choose?
Xiao Wuji looked at everyone and said slowly, "I choose the College."
There was no hesitation in his voice at all. He chose the College.
Clearly, Xiao Wuji had already thought about it.
This was where the College's confidence came from. They didn't need to say much. Tang Ye just said he was from the College and invited Xiao Wuji.
Now, Xiao Wuji agreed.
There was going to be another top genius in the Academy.
A smile appeared in Tang Ye's eyes and he said, "Welcome."
Today, he came for Xiao Wuji. It was worth it.
Being able to witness this scene was indeed something to be happy about.
The other forces were disappointed. Of course, the Donghua Clan was the most disappointed. After all, they were the most likely to compete with the College.
But this was Xiao Wuji's own choice. No one could force him. Everyone could only accept.
"Are we going to the College directly?" Tang Ye asked.
"Okay." Xiao Wuji nodded. He'd already prepared before coming.
"Then, let's go." Tang Ye smiled brightly. "Please."
Xiao Wuji walked out. Everyone couldn't help but make a path. They watched as Xiao Wuji and Tang Ye left together. They walked to the edge of the Mirror Mountain and walked down the stairs.
Tang Ye had come for Xiao Wuji. Now that he was satisfied, there was nothing else.
Hua Qingchi of the Donghua Clan was slightly disappointed. He glanced at Ye Futian's group and also left. He'd given Ye Futian a chance before. Since he didn't want it, then so be it.
The Sword Saint Mountain, Qianqiu Temple, Moon Clan, and other forces all left. They lost interest.
Today, they'd all come for Xiao Wuji.
The Fuyun Sword Clan didn't leave. Li Daoyun's expression was extremely sharp. He looked at Ye Futian's group. He wasn't in a hurry and waited for them to leave.
In Li Daoyun's eyes, Ye Futian was already a dead man.
The banquet seemed to have ended just like that. Many people felt a sense of loss and disappointment.
"How exciting," Gu Biyue said, giggling.
"Indeed." Ye Futian smiled. Then, he lifted his feet and walked in a certain direction. Gu Biyue was surprised. Where was this guy going?
Ye Futian walked to the drum area silently. He stood before the nine drums.
"Boom." There was a soft sound. Many people's eyes flashed as they looked at Ye Futian. With Xiao Wuji's performance, someone still wanted to show off? That was too boring.
Dong … The second sound rang out. Everyone heard it but didn't feel anything.
Dong, dong, dong!
Then the third, fourth, and fifth sound rang out one after another. The air shook and the drums grew louder.
Many people from top forces were walking down the stairs from the top of Mirror Mountain. Hearing the drums, they couldn't help but be surprised. Someone was still beating the drums?
They didn't care and continued down.
"Dong, dong!" Following that, the sixth and seventh sounds were like thunder.
On the stairs, Tang Ye smiled at Xiao Wuji. "I wonder who it is. Does he want to compete with you?"
"Boom." The eighth sound rang out, and the void trembled violently like a clap of thunder.
At the top of the mountain, many people looked at Ye Futian. Right now, his white robe and long hair danced in the wind.
He didn't stop and punched again. His body was like a dragon. The sound on the drums was like a dragon's roar.
Dong! The sky and earth shook. The drums sounded nine times and the weather changed. Everyone looked at Ye Futian with more admiration. This guy was indeed talented.
Tang Ye and the others on the stairs also heard the ninth beat of the drum. They paused for a moment, then smiled and continued to walk down.
Nine beats of the battle drum was not bad, but that was all.
