Chapter 705 - Mixed-Blood (2/2)

The protocol officer was infuriated but abruptly, Realm Monarch Yunshan's voice came from the firmament, "The Qi Practitioners respect only the nature, our heart venerates the heaven and earth and not even the title of Realm Monarch can bend our will. It is fine, a bow is as good as kneeling. Be at ease, for I am also one who walked out from the Prison Realm."

The protocol officer then continued, "All greets the Heavenly Kings and Realm Lords!"

At this point in time, the Qi Practitioners have stood up from giving their veneration to the Realm Monarch. They heard the protocol officer as well as Realm Monarch's conversation with Zhong Yue. Thus, they didn't know if they should kneel as told, or just bow like Zhong Yue.

But before they could make up their mind, Shu Ye has already knelt down and kowtowed to the gods. Rendered no choice, the experts could only helplessly kneel down and kowtow again.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue, Jun Wudao, and the few only bowed.

"The competition invovled 59 candidates. Among the 59 of you lots, only 10 will be able to represent the Wei Shen Six Paths World. Now all of you, split into 10 groups with one of the groups having only five candidates. The six Realm Lords and four Heavenly Kings will be in charge of the following competitions. Only the victor of every group will be chosen. Death, surrender, forfeiture, or falling out of the arena will result in elimination. Hence, I advise you to carefully assess your own strengths and act accordingly. Good luck." The officer then completed his briefing of the Qi Practitioners.

Then, he raised his voice and said aloud, "May the four Heavenly Kings and six Realm Lords spare us your palms as the battle arena."

"The first group, Lang Feiyun of the Heaven Realm, Hong Gu of the Earth Realm, Shu Jin of the Celestial Realm, Qin Yang of the Myriad Realm, Gang Tianzheng of the Elemental Realm, and Shu Ye of the Prison Realm."

"The second group, Jiu Yin of the Heaven Realm, Hua Zhenchuan of the Earth Realm, Gu Yunyang of the Celestial Realm, Dong Ku of the Myriad Realm, Ban Lu of the Elemental Realm, and Bi of the Prison Realm."

"The third group, Ju Ying of the Heaven Realm, Zhan Nan of the Earth Realm, Yuan Yu of the Celestial Realm, Yi Qianhu of the Myriad Realm, Chang Shaofu of the Elemental Realm, and Li Tianxing of the Prison Realm."

"The fourth group, Qing Hong of the Heaven Realm, King Xin Ling of the Earth Realm, Bai Tao of the Celestial Realm, Fu Shaojun of the Myriad Realm, Cultivator Pan of the Elemental Realm, and An of the Prison Realm."

"The fifth group, Zhu Yu of the Heaven Realm, Si Mochou of the Earth Realm, Dao Guang of the Celestial Realm, Qian Zheng of the Myriad Realm, Jiao Ruyue of the Elemental Realm, and Jun Wudao of the Prison Realm."

"The sixth group, Xuan Bin of the Heaven Realm, Dai Yuanji of the Earth Realm, Xuan Xue of the Celestial Realm, Zheng Yan of the Myriad Realm, Teng Kun of the Elemental Realm, and Zhong Yue of the Prison Realm."

…

Enormously huge palms were lowered from the lofty sky and stopped right beside the plaza. A grand voice laughed and said, "I am Heavenly King Fa, tasked with the first group. First group, come onto my palm."

Another peal of laughter followed right after, "I am Heavenly King Yu, the one in charge of the second group."

"I am Heavenly King Bo, those of you from the third group are to come onto my palm."

"I am Heavenly King Shang, those of you from the fourth group are to come onto my palm."

"I am Realm Lord Hua, those of you from the fifth group are to come onto my palm."

"I am Realm Lord Si, those of you from the sixth group are to come onto my palm."

The Qi Practitioners flew up and landed on the palms of the gods. Zhong Yue then abruptly flickered and his figure soon reappered at the tip of Realm Lord Si's index finger. At almost the same time, the other five Qi Practitioners also landed on Realm Lord Si's palm.

However, Realm Lord Si only had five fingers and there were six of them. Kun Teng from the Elemental Realm was a line slower than the others and he ended up in the center of the palm while the others were stationed high above him on the tip of the fingers.

Before the battle even started, Kun Teng was already at a disadvantage. His other five competitors were situated high above him and if they all attacked him, he would be exterminated in just seconds!

Thus, he would be the first to be eliminated when the battle started.

Kun Teng's face changed slightly, he glanced around and finally fixated his eyes on Zhong Yue. Kun Teng laughed loudly and asked, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, do you mind if I take your spot?"

He stepped forward with the light wheels brimming in lights behind his head. Countless thick vines whirled out of the light wheels like dragons. Within the vines, there were also the insect race's skills lurking in it!

Is he from the insect race? No, there is still the monster's, celestial's, and demon's blood in him!

Zhong Yue was surprised, he thought, This Teng Kun is the mixed-blood of four races! He has cultivated the insect's, monster's, celestial's, and demon's cultivation techniques! I've only able to cultivate two types of cultivation at the same time, the celestial's and demon's. But this guy, he actually did it with four types of cultivation techniques! No wonder he is chosen as one to represent the Elemental Realm!

Zhong Yue closed his eyes, he gently placed one hand on the saber hilt and the totem patterns billowed out of his body, surrounding him in the center.

A clear din resonated the air as the divine saber was pulled an inch out of its sheath. Teng Kun's pupils shrunk and the vines behind him abruptly launched to the front. The brandishing vines formed a barrier that stopped Zhong Yue's saber will from hurting him while he retreated.

"The Divine Saber, Evil God Zhong, Zhong Yue from the Prison Realm. You are indeed exceptional." Teng Kun laughed loudly, he said, "It seems like Senior Martial Brother Zhong isn't going to give up your slot. By the way, your saber is really a nefarious weapon, it's brimming with killing intent. Then in that case, will Senior Martial Sister Zheng Yan give me your spot?"

Zhong Yue opened his eyes and looked at Teng Kun, he was actually surprised that Teng Kun was able to remain unharmed from his saber will. It seemed like Teng Kun was indeed stronger than expected, at the least, he was stronger than Wu Yangsheng.

I wonder how strong the others may be?
