Chapter 772: Chapter 4 Charge Forward with Song!

“Void Arena, activate!”

…

Above the square, the voice of Grand Elder Guo Yan fell.

Thunderous roars shook the heavens.

Massive arenas, towering and soaring, floated mid-air.

These were Void Arenas formed by a grand array.

There were at least a hundred such arenas.

Grand Elder Guo Yan, along with many other elders and over a dozen Core Disciples from the Yin Yang Realm,

All ascended to the top of the Void Arenas.

Among the most notable Core Disciples were none other than Holy Son Jin Yuandao, Luo Shengtian, and Holy Daughter Tian Xian’er.

In addition, there were Core Disciples like Li Jianxiao and Han Yashi.

They had also come to watch the battles, perhaps intending to select some talented disciples after the tournament to replenish their own peaks and cultivate their influence.

“The competition will employ a knockout system, where advancing to the second round will earn one point, from the second to the third round, two points, and from the third to the fourth round, four points; each promotion doubles the points,” said Guo Yan. “If one can enter the top hundred, they will be rewarded with top-grade Spiritual Stones. Making it to the top ten, the rewards will be even richer. The first prize includes six months of cultivation in Xuyu Small World, thirty thousand Spirit Stones, a Yin Yang Creation Pill, a Spirit Cleansing Pill, a Soul Cleansing Pill, any two selections of Ancient Divine Abilities, and for the rest of the rankings, you can check your Identity Tokens for the rewards which have already been transmitted into them.”

Grand Elder Guo Yan spoke.

…

Many disciples hurriedly checked their Identity Tokens.

Voices of discussion filled the square.

“The reward for the first place is much more generous than rumored.”

Lin Feng was surprised.

“Why are this year’s first-place rewards so abundant? Two more ten thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones than the previous years, a Spirit Cleansing Pill, a Soul Cleansing Pill, and two Ancient Divine Abilities,” many disciples wondered.

Top-grade Spiritual Stones were incredibly rare.

Exceptionally precious.

The first prize in the Inner Academy competition was actually thirty thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones.

This was a truly a heavenly gesture.

Aside from the top-grade Spiritual Stones, the most valuable were the Spirit Cleansing Pill and the Soul Cleansing Pill.

Both of the pills were considered Heavenly Stage Elixirs.

Moreover, their formulas were lost to time.

Their value was incalculably higher than that of the Yin Yang Creation Pill.

The Spirit Cleansing Pill could purify Mana,

Removing impurities within Mana,

Making it purer.

The Soul Cleansing Pill, on the other hand, cleansed the soul.

Rinsing out the impurities from within,

Both of these pills were too precious, as they could purify a cultivator’s Mana and soul, effectively enhancing the user’s “talent.”

And the two Ancient Divine Abilities were equally valuable, potentially increasing one’s strength significantly upon successful cultivation.

“I heard that this time, the first place has already been designated for Liuu Mengyan, which is why the rewards are so abundant.”

A disciple whispered.

“What? Is that true?”

Many people were instantly surprised.

“Of course. What can’t Master Huangfu Qingtian do? As long as he says the word, even the sect grand elders would cooperate. Liuu Mengyan is also participating in the competition, and she’s a favorite of Master Huangfu Qingtian. Rumor has it, she will become his woman in the future. With Master Huangfu Qingtian’s intervention, designating the first place is nothing extraordinary.”

Many disciples discussed in hushed tones.

Lin Feng also heard some of the disciples’ discussions around him.

He couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He had previously wondered,

Why are this year’s rewards so bountiful?

It turned out to be because of Huangfu Qingtian.

It seems what these disciples said was right, Huangfu Qingtian, One Hand Covering the Sky.

…

“The first round of assessment begins.”

Grand Elder Guo Yan announced in a deep voice.

Following that,

The restrictions on the arena were activated.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a light burst forth, enveloping Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s body lifted into the air.

The next moment, he landed on an arena.

Besides Lin Feng,

there was another disciple who landed on the arena.

This was a disciple at the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Martial King Realm.

“Whoosh.”

As the disciple landed, his body was like a great dragon, Dragon Roaming Heaven and Earth, leaping toward Lin Feng.

“Jiaolong Emerging from the Sea.”

The disciple let out a long howl as he pounced towards Lin Feng.

“Bring it on.”

Lin Feng roared back as he struck with his palm.

With the move “Gray Eagle Captures Dragon,” his right hand turned into an eagle’s claw, reaching for the attacking disciple.

Crack!

…

Lin Feng had seized the wrist of the disciple, who could no longer struggle.

“I’ve lost.”

The disciple said helplessly.

“You’re too kind.”

Lin Feng cupped his fists in a salute.

Immediately after, groups of disciples took to the stage for their matches.

Qin Yao, the Old Drunkard, Shee Weizhu, Wang Hu, and others all took to the stage and advanced easily.

On one arena,

Sun Zizhou knocked the disciple he was contesting against out of the arena with a palm strike.

Crack crack!

The disciple’s bones broke who knows how many, as Sun Zizhou approached and kicked him.

Crack crack.

Four or five more bones broke on his body, and the disciple was kicked down from the arena.

“What ruthless methods…”

Many people took in a breath of cold air.

Inner Academy competition should stop short of injury.

But there were no rules against using heavy-handed techniques.

Thus, some disciples would not hesitate to be brutal.

Those people often came from extraordinary backgrounds, so they acted without restraint.

Just like Sun Zizhou, who was a disciple from Azure Sky Peak.

He was close to the First Senior Brother, Huangfu Qingtian.

Sun Zizhou naturally had no concerns.

On another arena, a disciple named Zhang Hai battered his opponent until he vomited blood profusely, the defeated disciple lying on the ground convulsing.

Many arenas witnessed one battle after another.

And then,

Lin Feng marched on triumphantly, defeating one opponent after another.

Over by the Azure Sky Peak disciples,

Liuu Mengyan was surrounded and guarded by a group of disciples, like stars surrounding the moon.

Her icy gaze swept toward Lin Feng, who had just defeated his opponent and come down from the arena.

“This kid has actually made it to the top four hundred, it seems he has a good chance of entering the top one hundred.”

Sun Zizhou’s eyes flickered with cold light.

His intent to kill Lin Feng was intense, with no attempt to conceal it.

Zhang Hai said, “Junior Brother is willing to ease Senior Brother’s concerns.”

Sun Zizhou gave a faint smile, “With Junior Brother Zhang’s strength, dealing with that kid shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Don’t be careless, Lin Feng has demonstrated considerable combat power in the overseas world, he might have a powerful treasure on him.”

Liuu Mengyan spoke.

She took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Zhang Hai, “This is a Heaven and Earth Qianyuan Jade Talisman. Once activated, it will greatly increase your combat power for a short period. Just in case, Senior Brother Zhang should keep this talisman.”

“Thank you, Junior Sister Liuu.”

Zhang Hai’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly took the Jade Talisman.

This talisman was personally refined by Huangfu Qingtian, and now Liuu Mengyan was giving it to him.

Obviously, it was a gift to him.

Liuu Mengyan looked at Sun Zizhou and said, “Senior Brother Sun, you go to inform sect grand elder Liu Mingcang. For the next round of contests, have elder Liu Mingcang pair up Senior Brother Zhang Hai with Lin Feng.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.”

Sun Zizhou nodded and quickly made his way toward the direction of Liu Mingcang, the sect grand elder in charge of drawing lots for the Inner Academy competition.
