Jiang Feng stood outside the crowd and watched with an indifferent expression. This rule seemed unfair, but it was already very humane.
After all, in the past, the 30 spots were fixed. Those who could enter the Mystery Realm of Rain were disciples of the two great academies and four great martial houses.
The sudden increase of 10 spots this year was already against the rules of the past. If they wanted to convince the public, they could only let each force send out four people to duel with each other. In the end, the ten winners would receive the challenge from the young talents of Rain Country.
If they lost, it would mean that the disciples of the six great forces were useless. It was only right that they were replaced by the winners. In this way, the six great forces would not be unconvinced. They were inferior and should give up their spots.
As for why Yu Chunqiu did not let the four people from the six great forces face the young talents directly, it was obvious that he had ulterior motives.
Jiang Feng guessed that he was most likely afraid that the six great forces would gang up, so he let them kill each other first. In the end, the ten winners would face the young talents.
"I can see that Yu Chunqiu is guarding against the capital institute." Jiang Feng thought to himself. However, it was not good to target the capital institute, so he suggested this method. He would give more opportunities to those who were not from the six great forces and thus weaken the power of the capital institute. In a way, it was an indirect competition between Yu Chunqiu's faction and the faction controlled by the Rain Emperor.
Jiang Feng thought carefully and could not help but feel a chill in his heart. The competition in the imperial city was really scary. There were schemes everywhere. Fortunately, he was experienced and did not agree to any of the challenges. Otherwise, who knew what would happen?
As a martial artist, it was better to stay out of trouble. The imperial city was only a temporary place for Jiang Feng. Sooner or later, he would leave.
Soon, the spots for each force were confirmed. However, what shocked everyone was that the five spots for the capital institute were not given to the five with the highest cultivation.
The four freaks — Long Haoyue, Ling Han, Kang Huan, and another young man in white — all gave up their spots and were pushed out by Zhuang Tian to fight for the 10 spots!
Everyone's expression changed when they saw this. Obviously, Zhuang Tian wanted to use the four freaks to fight for the four spots. In this way, the capital institute would have nine spots.
Next, the Dao Querying College also listed five names. Similarly, the most powerful one, Tu Tianxiao, was not included in these five names.
However, Tu Tianxiao was the only one who was willing to give up a spot and was chosen by the dean of the Taixu Academy to participate in the battle.
As for the other four spots, Dean Taixu gave them to the top disciples of the Wendao College. After all, only Tu Tianxiao was the strongest in the Wendao College.
As for the Seven Despair Martial House, the Half-Moon Martial House, and the Heaven's Pride Martial House, they did not do so, as they did not have anyone on par with the top ten geniuses, thus they could not afford to take the risk.
If the most powerful disciple participated in the competition and failed, then they would be completely eliminated. It was better to be safe and only have these five spots. As for the extra ten spots, they would let others fight for them.
The Nine Heavens Martial House did the same thing as the Dao Querying Academy. They didn't change the other four spots, but instead, they gave them to the disciples that were already predetermined.
As for the last spot, it originally belonged to the most powerful disciple of the Nine Heavens Martial House, but it was given to another person by the master of the Nine Heavens Martial House.
The most powerful disciple, like Tu Tianxiao, was chosen by the master of the Nine Heavens Martial House to participate in the battle because he was the most powerful person in the Nine Heavens Martial House. His name was Li Renhen, and his cultivation base was no weaker than the fifth level of the Star Origin Realm. He had the strength to fight for a spot.
As for the other three people who participated in the battle, they did not get the predetermined spots, but their strength was the strongest among the remaining people.
This lineup made many people look serious. The four people sent by the Imperial College were the four most powerful geniuses.
As for the Dao Querying College, Tu Tianxiao was among the four contenders!
Among the four from the Nine Heavens Martial House, Li Renhen was among them!
As for the Heaven's Pride Martial House, the Half-Moon Martial House, and the Seven Despair Martial House, although they did not send out their most powerful disciples, without exception, they chose four people whose cultivation base was only inferior to the predetermined five.
However, it would be much more difficult to fight for a spot!
The Four Great Geniuses of the Imperial College were Ling Han, Long Haoyue, Kang Huan, and the young man in white, Ye Gucheng.
In addition, there was Tu Tianxiao from the Dao Querying College, and Li Renhen from the Nine Heavens Martial House.
If there were no accidents, these six people would each get a spot.
The remaining four spots were up for grabs by Ye Lingkong, Di Wuque, and Namgong Fan, who were ranked on the Heaven's Pride Ranking.
If the three of them got a spot each, there would only be one spot left. This spot might be taken by Jiang Feng.
Everyone's gaze fell on Jiang Feng.
The battles had yet to begin, but the ten spots had basically been locked. This made the others feel even more pressured, but there was nothing they could do. Because all ten of them were Heaven's Prides, and their strength was terrifying to the extreme.
If they wanted to fight for a spot, they would have to defeat Jiang Feng. This was because he was the weakest among the ten. He was only at the fourth level of the Star Origin Stage!
Instantly, Jiang Feng became the target of many people. They did not dare to think about the other spots, so they could only target Jiang Feng.
The battle hasn't even started, but I've already become public enemy number one. Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart. Everyone was looking down on him.
The lowest cultivation did not mean that he was the weakest. No matter what, he had to get a spot to enter the Secret Realm of Rain!
This was the vow Jiang Feng made in his heart. If anyone tried to stop him, he would kill them. If God blocked him, he would kill God. If Buddha blocked him, he would kill Buddha!
This was not only for the so-called opportunity, but also for the Immortal Spirit Liquid.
Jiang Feng longed for the Immortal Spirit Liquid so that he could exchange information with the mysterious expert from the Primordial Battlefield.
"Each faction will choose four disciples to fight for a spot. They will draw lots to determine their opponents. The winner will advance!"
After Yu Chunqiu's announcement, the six factions, with a total of 20 people, began to draw lots to determine their opponents.
First was a Half Moon Martial House disciple. When he opened the scroll with the name of the person he drew, his expression changed.
His luck was terrible. He drew Ling Han, and his fate was almost foreseeable.
The four freaks were famous in Rain Country. Each of them was extremely terrifying. If they were not at the same cultivation level, it was almost impossible to defeat them.
Because the drawing of lots was based on each faction, they would not draw disciples from the same faction.
In this way, the four freaks, Tu Tianxiao, and Li Renhen, the six of them, had a very small chance of being drawn against each other.
For the other disciples, the pressure was very great!
When everyone finished drawing lots, the six geniuses did not encounter each other as expected. The disciples who drew them all had ashen faces.
The strength of these six people was extremely terrifying. If they encountered them, they were destined to lose!
The scene was like a drama. All the disciples who picked these six people directly gave up. They did not even have the courage to fight.
It was not that they were cowards, but that it was impossible for them to win. Any one of these six people had a cultivation level above the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Star Origin Tier. They could not defeat them.
If they chose to fight, they might even be seriously injured. It was better to admit defeat. Although it was a bit shameful, it was better than overestimating their own strength.
No one laughed at them, because if they were in their shoes, they might also choose to do the same.
It seemed that the four freaks, Tu Tianxiao, and Li Renhen were indeed very powerful. They actually made their opponents willingly admit defeat.
At the side, Jiang Feng watched silently. He was waiting for a chance to fight for a spot.
