Chapter 432 - Results of the Special Training (2/2)

…After this one month’s of h.e.l.l training, they were practically able to kill anyone in their way, whether it was a human or a ghost!

Can Ye’s cultivation was the highest; he had reached the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier. Guang Yuan had returned to the ninth layer as well, whereas Liu Yu Tong was at the eighth layer. Zhu Wu Jiu was the weakest, but even he had reached the seventh layer. The reason why they had managed to improve so quickly was because Ling Han had used Golden Needle Ferrying Acupuncture Points on them to stimulate their hidden potential. That was how they managed to improve so much in a mere month’s time.

But this was squeezing out their inner potential. It meant sacrificing their future rate of cultivation as a price, but to obtain a good ranking in the Prodigy Tournament, they couldn’t care about it anymore.

A single person could only use this kind of secret art in their whole lifetimes. If they used it a second time, their power would still increase greatly, but the problem was that their power would continue to increase uncontrollably until their physical body could no longer contain it. Their bodies would then explode and they would die.

Furthermore, this was only useful before the Flower Blossom Tier. After breaking through to the Flower Blossom Tier, the cultivator would have cast off his mortal sh.e.l.l, and this kind of technique to stimulate one’s hidden potential would no longer be effective.

Golden Needle Ferrying Acupuncture Points, combined with the h.e.l.l training session, was what allowed them to possess the current shocking cultivation rate.

Ling Han and Hu Niu, on the other hand, were still at the peak of the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier.

Ling Han possessed two Spiritual Oceans. One turned clockwise and the other counterclockwise, as if they were two millstones. Thus, when his cultivation increased, his Origin Power was only polished to become ever st.u.r.dy, but his cultivation rate was still a bit too fast and he still needed some more time to reach perfection.

It would happen within these few days; he would be able to break through to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier.

After a night of rest, all the young people gathered at the Great Arena of Extreme Yang City; this was the property of the Spirit Treasures Pavilion. And with the enormous amount of wealth in their possession, this Great Arena had been constructed for the purpose of the Prodigy Tournament that would happen every three years. Thus, this place appeared to be very majestic and grand, and could accommodate 200,000 spectators at any one time. The circular and high spectators stands looked as if they were mountains.

The first step was naturally to register.

The preliminary condition for registration was to be below thirty years old; there was no other restriction.

The second step was to test battle prowess.

There was a stone plaque used to test one’s battle prowess at the registration area. It was created by a great person in ancient times. After one shot out a full-power attack at it, it would show the corresponding number of Battle Stars. Everyone could be ranked according to Battle Stars, but exactly how many would be able to make it to the actual tournament?

That would depend on how many people had left the Prodigy Roll from the last round.

Subtracting those who had left due to age, as well as those that had not managed to make it in time or might even have died, the remaining people would automatically qualify for the actual tournament. There was a total of fifty-six this time round.

Thus, a total of one hundred and forty-four people out of all those who came to register would be able to qualify for the actual tournament.

These two hundred people would draw lots based on the concept of everyone on the rankings would encounter one another and enter into a knockout battle. The last hundred remaining would be the elites of the new Prodigy Roll of the Northern region. As for how the remaining would be ranked, that was simple. They would simply battle. Every person would have a battle with the other ninety-nine compet.i.tors, and their final rank would be calculated based on the number of their losses and victories.

“Then, let’s go first test our battle prowess.” Ling Han’s group headed towards the location of the Testing Stone Plaque. Because there was only two hundred people who could qualify for the actual tournament, those ranked below two hundred were naturally automatically eliminated, and there was no need for them to register.

“Hey, hey, hey. Did you all see that? A monster appeared just now. He is in the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, but his battle prowess is as high as twenty Stars; he can almost surge up to Spiritual Pedestal Tier!”

“I know, that guy’s name is Qu Xiu Zhu, but no one knows where he came from. He’s very mysterious.”

“This guy can almost stand equal to Shen Zhong Cheng from the previous round.”

“He should be slightly inferior to Shen Zhong Cheng. The White-Robed Sword King is one that could defeat opponents in Spiritual Pedestal Tier.”

“Shen Zhong Cheng, too, had reached the ninth layer of Spiritual Ocean Tier just slightly over a year ago, and he has continuously polished himself since. That was why he could slice a Spiritual Pedestal Tier opponent with his sword, and this Qu Xiu Zhu may not be inferior.”

“That’s right. Qu Xiu Zhu is only nineteen years old.”

They had just reached the place when they already heard the crowds embroiled in heated discussions. There would appear a few monsters with every Prodigy Roll. The last round could deserve the name of the Golden Roll, whereupon such extreme geniuses like Zhu Xuan’er, Zuo Yu Da, Lu Yang, and Shen Zhong Cheng. It was yet unknown how this round would be.
