The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament started!

Ling Wuguo smiled in satisfaction as he saw around 1500 youths gathered here to show their sects' best talents. Only the best out of the best in the Blue Wind Empire could enter the Blue Wind Ranking.

However, Ling Wuguo quickly noticed a familiar-looking young man slouched over a seat with some beauties on his side. Although the seat is far back right, which means not many people pay attention to it, Ling Wuguo's sharp eyes still catch the location, and he is shocked.

'What's he doing here??' Ling Wuguo caught a glimpse of the golden-eyed young man.

Yes, the same golden-eyed young man who shocked the Profound Sky Continent with his monstrous talent four years ago.

Ling Wuguo was baffled by Yu Long's sudden appearance as he quickly communicated with the Heavenly Sword Villa's villa master about this matter.

However, all he got from Ling Yuefeng was a passive answer.

'What do you mean they just come? Why didn't anyone notify me about this?' Ling Wuguo was speechless. Some audience members noticed his mustache and mouth twitching slightly.

Yu Long felt Ling Wuguo's gaze and waved his hand casually.

Ling Wuguo awkwardly nodded at Yu Long and sighed inwardly, 'Villa Master, I'm afraid you don't know how monstrous this fellow was.'

"Ehem, before we start the first round. Everyone! You may join me on the main stage and test your profound strength when I call your name."

On the main stage, there is a white tower that could read one's bone age and cultivation realm. All the contestant needs to do is place their hands on the altar beneath it.

"Understand?"

"Understood, Sir!" Collective shouts responded.

Ling Wuguo pulled out a scroll and started calling the contestants names one after another, allowing them to join him on the main stage.

"Flying Sword Sect, Gong Dianchen. Nineteen years old, 3rd Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."

"Flying Sword Sect, Gong Mingchen. Nineteen years old, 4th Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."

"Flying Sword Sect, Gong Luochen. Eighteen years old, 5th Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."

"Water Grotto Land, Shui Bang..."

Everyone attentively watched the main stage with great interest, but Yu Long and the ladies were bored. When it comes to young talents, their standards are massively different than these people.

The Lost Heaven Sect and Shadow Realm didn't rate their disciples or shadow agents based on their profound veins and cultivation realm.

A high cultivation realm is impractical when your understanding of profound ways and cultivation arts is low.

If one cannot even master profound aspects and manifest incarnation, one wouldn't be able to climb ranks in the Lost Heaven Sect or Shadow Realm.

"Blue Wind Empire!" Ling Wuguo called out.

Cang Yue kissed Yu Long's forehead and stood up, "I will be back in a minute."

"Yeah, don't shock them too much." Yu Long chuckled and leaned on his seat lazily.

The Frozen Cloud Asgard's turn was next. The three female disciples are as beautiful as a fairy, and upon displaying their talents, they become more famous.

Although not as shocking as Cang Yue, they guaranteed to enter the top ten with their cultivation base alone and placed pressure on everyone else. It is the privilege of having a sugar daddy like Yu Long.

Ling Wuguo called everyone but one last sect on the list. He coughed and said, "Lost Heaven Sect!"

"It's my turn." Xia Qingyue flashed to the arena instantly. Her domineering and cold aura stunned the audience as she placed her hand on the altar.

"Lost Heaven Sect, Xia Qingyue. Sixteen years old, 10th Level of Emperor Profound Realm."

However, Xia Qingyue didn't end her presentation there as her profound energy possessed a vibration effect due to her [Ocean Quake Symbols].

The profound testing tower trembled rapidly and suddenly cracked open, leaving the people(whether disciples, elders, or the villa master) of Heavenly Sword Villa speechless.

"..." Ling Wuguo dumbly stared at the expensive artifact of Heavenly Sword Villa, which now cracked open like split wood.

Xia Qingyue innocently pulled her hand back and glanced at Ling Wuguo, "Elder, it seems the profound-testing tower is not maintained very well."

"What should I do? Should I compensate for the Heavenly Sword Villa's loss?"

"No need!" Before Ling Wuguo could reply, the villa master(Ling Yuefeng) responded to Xia Qingyue's question.

Ling Yuefeng sat on his throne and continued, "Young Lady Xia, it seems the profound-testing tower is poorly maintained, as you said. Let's put this matter aside first because we have a long tournament after this."

Xia Qingyue blinked in surprise at Ling Yuefeng's response, "Okay."

Ling Yuefeng watched Xia Qingyue's back silently and flicked his sleeve skillfully, "Continue!"

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Yufeng sat beside Ling Yuefeng and snorted because this husband of hers didn't want to show Heavenly Sword Villa's flawed side to others.

Even some people noticed Ling Yuefeng's misdirection on this matter.

Unfortunately, Heavenly Sword Villa is weak compared to the Lost Heaven Sect, which was 'widely' recognized as the fifth holy land.

Xuanyuan Yufeng moved her gaze to Xia Qingyue's seat and caught a handsome, golden-eyed young man in a loose black coat sitting frivolously.

'So that's the Lost Heaven Sect's young leader. I have to admit he's a very handsome fellow.' Xuanyuan Yufeng thought to herself.

...

Cough! Cough!

Ling Wuguo cleared his throat and announced, "Okay, let's continue to the first round of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament."

The arena suddenly transformed, separating itself into four equal pieces.

Ling Wuguo activated another array, and wooden plaques with the zone's division contestant's number flew out. The wooden plaque landed on the contestant's hand, which would light up when the fight between the two talents started.

"Zone A." Cang Yue showed her wooden plaque to Yu Long.

"Mine is B." Xia Qingyue curved her lips.

"C." Fen Juechen said calmly.

"D." Sikong Du fidgeted with his wooden plaque.

Yu Long laughed, "Well, good luck to all of you."
