Chapter 350: The Lesson (1/2)
When the teacher saw them leaving, his eyes twinkled, he glanced at the crowd and said: “It’s already been ten years, now, the Great Competition of Xue Yu will start soon, I hope that you will all seize that opportunity and be even more motivated to constantly become stronger.”
“The Great Competition of Xue Yu!” The crowd was astonished, they had already heard about it, every ten years, the entire region of Xue Yu held a Great Competition, where the elite cultivators of all the thirteen countries of Xue Yu gathered. Every ten years, when the Great Competition of Xue Yu took place, the entire region became more lively, while rivers of geniuses started to reveal themselves.
During the rise of the geniuses, challenges and battles were important, it was also a chance to seize an opportunity. Therefore, the teacher was telling everybody to seize that opportunity, even if, that time, they couldn’t participate to the Great Competition of Xue Yu, they could observe the incredible geniuses and try to walk down the same path, and even try to surpass them someday, becoming powerful cultivators.
“However, before the Great Competition of Xue Yu, some officials of the Dragon Mountain Empire will come to Xue Yue and choose the most outstanding cultivators from Xue Yue to participate in the competition.” Continued the teacher. The Empire of the Dragon Mountain was in control of Xue Yue and it was one of the four great empires of Xue Yu.
Xue Yue and Tian Feng were both under the control of Dragon Mountain.
However, The Dragon Mountain Empire was not going to intervene in Xue Yue’s internal affairs, every ten years, they went to Xue Yue and selected some outstanding geniuses to participate in the Xue Yu Great Competition and fight against the geniuses of the three other great empires!
“Of course, we won’t let the people of The Dragon Mountain Empire come here and see a bunch of trash, therefore, before the team from the Dragon Mountain Empire comes to Xue Yue, Xue Yue organizes its own Grand Tournament, which the most outstanding disciples from the country are chosen to display their strength and talent when the Dragon Mountain Empire comes to collect the talented individuals. In order to be considered as talented by the Dragon Mountain Empire, two factors are decisive: strength and natural abilities. If the Dragon Mountain Empire attaches importance to you, even if you are not very strong at the moments, your future is filled with countless opportunities.” The teacher said which made the crowd palpitate from excitement, even if they were not strong enough, if they had high natural abilities, the empire might still select them.
If the empire attaches importance to them, they would be able to leave Xue Yue and their future would be filled with endless opportunities, but… Were their natural abilities high enough to draw the attention of the empire?
Many people, when they thought about it, looked disappointed again. It was much too difficult. There were many geniuses in the empire, in order to be noticed by the empire, at least in Xue Yue, they had to be extraordinary and stand out, they, of course, weren’t those kinds of people. Maybe Lin Feng, with his natural abilities, would draw the empire’s attention as Lin Feng’s strength wasn’t yet sufficient to draw their attention.
“For the Grand Tournament, the Celestial Academy will be able to send five students, in other words, only five will be able to participate. Whether you are chosen or not and whether you will have the opportunity to be noticed by the empire depends on you, just look at yourselves and you will know.” Said the teacher when he saw how excited the crowd looked. He then added: “Besides, as you saw a moment ago, amongst these five people, I will choose two people to fight against Chu Zhan Peng and Luo Xue.”
“Fight against Chu Zhan Peng and Luo Xue?” The crowd looked perplexed, was it even possible to fight against them?
Chu Zhan Peng and Luo Xue were two of the eight high-officials and it had been that way for two years already. They were both in the Xuan Qi layer when they were selected, relying on their natural abilities, how strong had they become in the past two years? They, at least, must have broken through to the second Xuan Qi layer.
The Celestial Academy had no genius who could be compared with them, maybe Qiong Bi Luo and Du Bi had a chance, but Du Bi was now a cripple.
Of course, Lin Feng, had cut off Du Bi’s arm, he could also be counted as one of the selected five. Lin Feng was easily able to cut off Du Bi’s arm, even though his cultivation level was lower, he could defeat cultivators at the Xuan Qi layer which meant that he was just as strong as someone in the Xuan Qi layer.
“I already chose one of the two people, for the other positions, you can compete.” Said the teacher again.
“Compete?” People in the crowd were secretly shaking their heads. Who would be willing to fight against one of the eight high-officials? They didn’t want to die early.
However, one of the fighters had already been chosen, it was probably Qiong Bi Luo, he was the top student of the academy, it had to be him.
“Who is the person you chose?” At that moment, a silhouette appeared in the distance. The crowd turned around and saw someone moving through the sky, looking majestic. It was precisely Qiong Bi Luo, the top student of the academy who everybody was talking about.
At that moment, he looked at the teacher and asked: “Who is the person you chose?”
Qiong Bi Luo seemed to care a lot about what others thought.
The crowd was thrilled, it was a matter of honour for Qiong Bi Luo, he was the top disciple of the academy. The one who was chosen was probably Qiong Bi Luo.
“It’s not you.” Immediately refuted the teacher which astonishing the entire crowd, they had guessed wrong.
Qiong Bi Luo frowned and said: “If it’s not me, could it be Lin Feng?”
