Chapter 536: Chapter 535: Brutal Elimination!_1

Along the way, the Daoist named Wu Yu was explaining the general rules of the Mount Hua Tournament.

The tournament was usually a competition between the disciples of Huaxia’s sects, and naturally, the masters would also spar to discuss techniques. More often than not, these exchanges would arise out of grudges between sects, or even personal vendettas. In the case of Wu Yu and Yama the Grinning Reaper, it was obviously the latter.

The Mount Hua Tournament would ultimately decide who among the younger generation was a genius and which group in the Huaxia secular sects held the most power.

"Brother Wu Yu, why not let your disciple give it a try, too?" suggested Qiu Qing Shui, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Me?" Ren Feifan looked mildly surprised before nodding. "That’s not a bad idea. I am rather curious about the strength of the younger generation of common folks."

From the start, Qiu Qing Shui had noticed that Ren Feifan’s level was not that high. Judging from his age, anyone who had not reached the Semi-Sky Level could not be considered a genius.

He did not understand why Wu Yu held such high regards for this young man.

Even constantly boasting about his extraordinary talents.

Of course, to gauge someone’s real strength, you can’t just look at their level of cultivation. The best method of testing is through combat.

"Since you want to participate, take this invitation and follow me. In order to register, you’ll need to take a talent assessment first. The competition does not welcome those with average abilities," said Qiu Qing Shui. He didn’t have high hopes for Ren Feifan, assuming he would probably be eliminated ruthlessly in the first round of talent testing.

This time, it seemed that Brother Wu Yu had indeed made a mistake in judgment.

"Um."

Throughout the journey, Ren Feifan noticed that many of the young talents around him had quite terrifying auras. They were wearing their sect’s uniforms, making them easily recognizable.

Ren Feifan even saw some people with the word "King Kong" engraved on the back of their clothes. They were clearly from the King Kong Sect, and they were serious in demeanor, likely due to discovering that some disciples from their sect were missing.

As Ren Feifan arrived at the square, he could already see ten dueling platforms, each with a diameter of about thirty meters, built on the open space. Already, there were quite a few people gathering around the dueling platforms.

Ren Feifan crossed the dueling platforms to get to the registration area. As Ren Feifan already belonged to the Saint Doctor’s Gate, he had not joined Wu Yu’s Dao Sect. As a result, he had to register as a Loose Cultivator.

After registration, Ren Feifan was led to the testing area, where a long line had already formed.

In stark contrast to the steep terrain they had encountered along the way, the location of the assessment seemed to have been artificially carved and decorated, as if a peerless knife had split open the top of the mountain.

There were steles placed at the four corners, inscribed with strange, ancient runes. In the center of the stage was a transparent giant round jade stone. A longsword was embedded within, occasionally emitting a brilliant glow.

An eerie sense emanated from it.

Just then, Ren Feifan was surprised to find that at the front of the line were the Emei Sect disciples. Leading them was the elder sister with powerful abilities!

Sensing that they were being watched, the head sister and the second sister of the Emei Sect turned their heads, and quickly spotted Ren Feifan, their expressions changing subtly.

The second sister’s face became frosty, her expression suggested she would like to devour Ren Feifan whole!

Meanwhile, the elder sister remained calm, merely casting a disdainful and disgusted look at Ren Feifan.

In her eyes, Ren Feifan was a sworn enemy of the Emei Sect, but their master had forbidden them from acting against him.

Apparently, the second sister and the disciple sisters behind her were discussing Ren Feifan. Consequently, the Emei Sect disciples all turned around, glaring furiously at him.

Ren Feifan scratched his nose helplessly. Offending women was indeed a troublesome matter!

He decided to withdraw his gaze, closed his eyes, and waited for the test to begin.

However, no sooner had he closed his eyes than he heard a mocking voice from behind:

"Oh, Ren Feifan, aren’t you from the Dao Sect? Why are you registering as a Loose Cultivator? Is it because your master doesn’t consider you worthy of being a part of his sect?"

Ren Feifan was speechless. Why was there always this kind of trash wherever he went?

Even Wu Yu and Qiu Qing Shui frowned from not far off.

Because the one talking behind him was none other than Cai Jing.

Ren Feifan turned around, his eyes met Cai Jing’s. "Looks like you didn’t learn your lesson when I broke one of your fingers! Do I need to break your neck for you to remember?"

If someone bullied him right to his doorstep, he would definitely beat them back.

Cai Jing squinted his eyes, staring at Ren Feifan like a venomous snake. "Hmph! Ren Feifan, I’m looking forward to seeing what potential you possess!"

"Boom, boom, boom."

The drums began to sound, indicating the start of the test.

In the huge square, all the participants stood like soldiers. Ren Feifan glanced around, noticing that the lowest level among the crowd was the mid Earth-level Realm.

Three elders quickly appeared at the front of the stone pillar, two men and one woman, who were evidently the judges for this round.

The elder in the middle had a particularly intimidating aura. He scanned the crowd of disciples and nodded in approval. At a glance, the foundation of the people who had signed up seemed quite promising.

After a while, he spoke: "This is the first day of the Mount Hua Tournament. This place is the testing stage. I know that in the outside world, you may be hailed as genius young heroes. But here, let me tell you very clearly, you are nothing! You can only use your own strength to prove yourself!"

"The first step to proving your strength is this Potential Monolith beside me!" The elder pointed at the stone next to him.

There was a handprint on the rock, clearly indicating that it would only work if the cultivator placed their palm on it.

"This is an ancient Spirit Stone from the Quanzhen Sect, crafted by the ancestor of Quanzhen, who spent forty-nine days and nights to perfect it. It has the ability to connect the future with the past and can measure your cultivation level, your potential, your strength, and your spirit! Your promotion depends entirely on this."

"Later, I will call out names according to the list. Those who are called just need to step forward and place their palm on this handprint, and then channel their True Qi. Does everyone understand?"

"Understood!"

The hundreds of participants chorused. They understood very clearly that this was the beginning of their journey towards attainment!

Anyone who made a mark in the Mount Hua Tournament would, in the future, achieve no less than greatness!

"Begin!"

This shout was accompanied by a sound like the chanting of a sutra, subtle yet majestic, gradually forming into a solemn hymn.

"Kongtong Sect, Wang Junchao!"

A thirty-year-old man dressed in plain clothing emerged from the crowd. He walked towards the elder, placed his right palm on the handprint, slowly closed his eyes, and his True Qi surged rapidly within his body.

Soon, the silent stone pillar standing tall and proud emitted a brilliant light reaching straight to the sky.

Suddenly, there was a line of text displayed above the stone pillar.

"Peak of Earth-level Realm, potential one-star! Disqualified."

Ren Feifan was slightly taken aback after seeing the gleaming golden text displayed atop the stone pillar.

A person at the peak of Earth-level Realm having just one-star potential... You’ve got to be kidding me!

What about him?

Ren Feifan was very clear that the first part shown on the stone pillar represented a person’s cultivation level, and the subsequent part represented their talent.

One star was the lowest, and ten stars was the highest.

A person at the peak of the Earth-level Realm had only one-star potential!

Murmurs of dismay quickly spread through the field.

The disciple from the Kongtong Sect shook his head, his face slightly reddened as he quickly left the stage.

"Wudang Sect, Liu Xinbao!"

"Semi-Sky Level, potential four-star, promoted."

"Loose Cultivator, Shao Fudong!"

"Semi-Sky Level, potential two-star, disqualified."
