"Congratulations on passing the Kingdom's selection's preliminaries!" Zhang Tan kept the beast horn and sealed it with an array. His voice was loud and clear. He did not need to inject any energy for it to spread throughout the arena.
According to the rules of the preliminaries, as long as one could step within twenty steps and last for ten seconds, even if they were swept away by the Fierce Divine Tiger's roar, they would still pass the preliminaries.
There were only a few dozen of such people.
Out of a thousand people, only a few dozen were left. This elimination rate was too tragic.
The people from the Lian tribal clan's warrior preparation camp were naturally eliminated. Not only them, even the weaker participants from the Tao tribal clan were also eliminated.
Being eliminated was nothing. The people from the Lian tribal clan's warrior preparation camp were already mentally prepared. They knew they could not pass the Kingdom's selection, but … but why did Yi Yun get first place? Was the selection fair?
They felt that Yi Yun had the same background as them. He had led a poor life, so why did he stand out?
People were all like that. For those who had a halo around them, it was fine if they shone. Not only would they not be jealous, they would even sing their praises and try to curry favor with them, taking pride in being their follower.
But they couldn't accept that someone who used to be on par with them, or even someone who used to be inferior to them, would suddenly become a carp leaping over the dragon gate and surpass them.
Zhang Tan carried on, "According to the rules of the Kingdom's selection, I want to ask if you are willing to become a member of the Jin Long Wei? If you are willing, you can continue participating in the semi-finals of the Kingdom's selection. If you are not willing, you can leave now! "
Zhang Tan's question was just a formality. But rules were rules, so he still had to ask.
No one left, including Yi Yun who planned on becoming a Jin Long Wei member.
In the novels Yi Yun had read in his previous life, many protagonists would reject the enticements of large factions. They would reject all favorable conditions and go solo.
This method, with the support of good luck, was naturally impressive. However, Yi Yun knew that he was still far from reaching such a level. His strength was like a tiny bubble in this world. It would burst with a poke.
Moreover, whether it was cultivation resources or cultivation methods, it was impossible for him to obtain them all by himself. Even eating was a problem.
He had to join a large faction and use the faction's resources and heritage to slowly climb up and become a lord.
Only with his own accumulation would he have the qualifications to pursue the pretentiousness and the freedom to do as he pleased.
"You! What's your name? How old are you? "
Zhang Tan's gaze landed on Yi Yun. His gaze was sharp and dignified.
"General, I'm Yi Yun. I'm twelve years old this year." Yi Yun answered in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Alright! I hereby announce that you are the champion of this year's Divine Kingdom Selection! "
"In this Kingdom's selection, if you can obtain first place amongst the Mortal Blood participants, I will immediately announce that you will be a Jin Long Wei elite army warrior!"
Zhang Tan's words were heard throughout the venue. The surrounding people were filled with envy and jealousy!
Jin Long Wei elites!
One had to know that the warriors in the Jin Long Wei were also divided into different grades. The treatment they received was not exactly the same.
For example, Zhang Yuxian, who went to the Lian tribal clan, was an elite warrior of the Jin Long Wei.
Elite warriors enjoyed great advantages in terms of cultivation resources, cultivation grounds and cultivation techniques. They were much better than ordinary warriors.
Usually, warriors who passed the Kingdom's selection would be classified as ordinary warriors. Only the cream of the crop in the Purple Blood realm, such as the first and second young masters of the Tao tribal clan, could become elite warriors.
But now, a kid who had not even grown his hair was valued by Zhang Tan and was prepared to become an elite warrior. How could they be convinced?
How strong could this kid be? His cultivation level was not even as high as theirs!
As for the preliminaries, although this kid had obtained first place, he had suddenly used a cheat to surpass Tao Yunxiao. Who knew if there was a problem, or if he had taken advantage of a loophole.
Even if there was no problem, even if Yi Yun had burst out of desperation and had a strong Spirit, so what?
Could Spirit be used to kill?
Strength was only a small part of the many aspects that affected Spirit. In the vast wilderness, where life was precarious and fierce beasts rampaged, people valued strength the most.
Spirit was a fancy concept created by the people of the Kingdom's heartlands. To the warriors of the vast wilderness, what was Spirit? Could it be eaten?
Many people were unconvinced, especially Lian Chengyu and Tao Yunxiao.
Lian Chengyu wanted to stand up and object, but Zhang Tan's oppressive aura was too strong. A person whose cultivation level exceeded the Purple Blood realm and whose strength exceeded Lian Chengyu's imagination, Lian Chengyu could not muster up any courage in front of him.
Could a little mouse object to a lion?
However, even if Lian Chengyu didn't dare to stand out, it didn't mean that Tao Yunxiao didn't dare to. In this world, not everyone had self-awareness. After all, Tao Yunxiao was only fourteen years old, and he didn't come from another world. He was a fourteen year old boy with an arrogant personality, so he always did things directly and did whatever he wanted.
Just as Tao Yunxiao was about to open his mouth, he heard a stern voice transmission, "Yunxiao, shut up!"
It was Tao Yunxiao's father's voice, so Tao Yunxiao could obviously recognize it.
"Father, I'm not convinced. What's with this Kingdom's selection? Why isn't it a competition of strength? Isn't it obvious when it comes to strength? But they have to compete in such useless things. I'm not convinced! "
In terms of Spirit, Tao Yunxiao had been surpassed by Yi Yun. In his words, he had subconsciously belittled the use of Spirit.
"If you're not convinced, just surpass him in the semi-finals!"
Tao Yunxiao's father said simply.
"Surpass that kid?" Tao Yunxiao snorted. Of course he would surpass him. He would surpass him without any suspense, and he would crush him! "Alright, I'll surpass that kid. The Kingdom's selection's first place in the Mortal Blood realm will still be mine!"
Tao Yunxiao clenched his fists and looked at Yi Yun. His eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
At this time, Tao Yunxiao's father hesitated for a while and suddenly transmitted his voice to Tao Yunxiao.
Upon hearing this, Tao Yunxiao's eyes lit up. His voice was even trembling with excitement.
"Father, is what you said true!? I can really use it? The tribe will no longer continue hiding? "
"Yes … It's basically confirmed. Enduring is not the way to gain a foothold, so … Yunxiao, Father's hopes are on you. You must do well in this selection. Not only do you want to become an elite member of the Jin Long Wei, our Tao tribal clan will also use this Kingdom's selection as the starting point for the central plains …"
"I understand!" Tao Yunxiao clenched his fists and was extremely excited.
He did not expect the Tao tribal clan's elders to have such ambition. Very good! I will be one of the people who will write a new chapter in the Tao tribal clan's history!
As for defeating Yi Yun in the semi-finals … Hehe, with that item, defeating Yi Yun is nothing!
As long as the tribe no longer hides itself, I, Tao Yunxiao, will let all of you know what it means to be a frog in a well!
Tao Yunxiao looked at Yi Yun in the crowd. His eyes were filled with contempt and a hint of mockery. You were in the limelight in the preliminaries, but I will completely crush you in the semi-finals.
