Chapter 459 456- Chosen Tournament (3)



During the two days before the well-anticipated Chosen Tournament started, the remaining carriers containing the disciples from their respected Continents arrived.

These disciples were all fired up for the Chosen Tournament, but upon reaching the city, whispers of what had occurred before they came flitted passed their ears.

Curious about what these people were talking about instead of the Chosen Tournament, these disciples made several inquiries.

However, what they heard completely stunned them.

A Soul Nourishing pill with a 95% percent purity appeared?! And a even pill called Nascent Formation pill that can allow you to form your Nascent Soul?!

Suddenly, these disciples who were late to the party became frenzied and sought out more information on these pills. Perhaps if they could get their hands on even just one of them, then they could increase their chances in the upcoming Chosen Tournament.

However, after learning that someone named Dai Hee escaped with them, and wasn’t seen since two days ago, these disciples become bitter. Why did they not come here on the first carrier?

But they were not about to give up!

Even though no one could find a trace of Dai Hee, there was news that he was helped by disciples from the Maple Continent’s Celestial Academy.

This immediately enliven the disciples and thoughts of seeking out these people to find Dai Hee appeared in their minds.

However, as they heard more news of what happened, their faces went stark white and those thoughts were scrapped entirely.

The reason for this was simple. They weren’t the first ones to have this thought. A few notable geniuses had approached them. Some came amicable and wanted to seek out Dai Hee to purchase the pills, but some came with ill intentions and tried to use force.

But all those who went to that Inn looking for a fight were sent running away with their tail between their legs and a terrified expression on their faces. It’s as if they had encountered a horrifying ghost.

The two most notable figures that were sent into retreat were Gu Min and Mai Rong.

The battle of these too was especially talked about as they were recognized as two of the strongest people participating in the Chosen Tournament.

But the two who won against them were even more talked about. And information about them began to circulate.

Zhi Lihua from the Celestial Academy, and daughter of the Zhi Clan Leader, a Top Noble Family loyal to the Li Royal Family.

In her fight with Mai Rong, she showed off her terrifying powers of the Water Element. Even Mai Rong who had a boost in her strength from the abundance of Yin Energy in the surroundings, could not defeat her.

Their battle of Ice and Water was a spectacle to behold, and being that they were both beauties in their own right, the fight between them garner mass attention.

And though Mai Rong made the decision to retreat, it could be said that Goddess Lihua was the winner.

However, the battle that everyone was having the most heated discussion about was the fight between Yang Su and Gu Min.

Intense and blood boiling could not describe what these disciples had witnessed.

Information about Yang Su surfaced and it was shockingly discovered that he possessed five plus elements! Including the Ice element!

This utterly shocked everyone to their core and cause their minds to buzz. They couldn’t help but imagine what kind of monster would be able to learn so many elements at once.

Yang Su wasn’t merely a genius, and neither was he a monster-level genius. He was simply an anomaly in the cultivation world. What was common sense and the standards in the cultivation world can no longer be applied to someone like him.

As of right now, Yang Su’s name could not leave people’s mouths. Everyone dissected his background and the abilities he showed during the fight. His attacks were terrifying with his ability to cast powerful Daoist Magic spells with a point of a finger and a mere wave of a sleeve.

He resembled a Sovereign that had absolute control of the Natural Elements!

But out of all his abilities that were talked about, one stood out to everyone. And that was Yang Su’s strange ability to hold the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings captive with only a few steps.

This God-like ability was attributed to the fact that Yang Su had mastered so many Natural Elements.

However, the disciples who had come late and had wisely decided not to go to that Inn, learn another important detail that left them reeling back in shock.

After Gu Min was defeated, he made a comment that showed his cruel nature. He threatened to kill those behind Yang Su, if not in the Chosen Tournament, then in the Hidden Fragmented Realm.

Even though Gu Min didn’t outright say he would kill Yang Su’s friends, it was obvious that was the underlying meaning of his words.

But it was what Yang Su responded next that sent waves across the city.

He actually said that Gu Jin would just be hitting a mountain with an egg and that he was only slightly stronger than his friends.

Everyone thought Yang Su was just saying this at first, but then they remembered Lihua’s strength. Could these people be as strong as Yang Su claimed?

If they were, how have they managed to go unheard of until now? They need to know!

Yang Su’s response further caused people to look into the group’s background, and all sorts of information began popping up. The Celestial Academy Disciples in the city themselves were the biggest contributor as they spill everything they knew with fervor and pride.

Yang Su and the others were a group called the Divine Sword Music Faction. It was a faction created by the late Second Prince of the Li Royal family, who was said to be trash that couldn’t cultivate.

As the Celestial Academy disciples in the city continue to give information on Yang Su and the others, it was then that the disciples realized that although the group wasn’t known among the other continents, they were well known in the Celestial Academy for having a few members in the Top Hundred on the Chosen Rankings Board between the Star Bound Continent and the Maple Continent.

Jun, Mu Fan, Fang Chen, Fei Yin, and Lihua.

They were all geniuses in their own right.

The disciples could no longer take Yang Su’s words as mere boosting at this point.

Though, the shocking news hadn’t finished as yet. After Yang Su had declared the strength of their group, he made an offhanded comment that not many people paid attention to before.

He had said that even if Gu Jin manage to defeat their group, his master would surely take revenge.

Everyone thought this meant Yang Su’s master was some powerful old existence that would cause chaos to the Fire Empire when his disciple was killed. Perhaps he was someone that surpasses the Soul Transformation Realm!

But no, far from it. News started to spread that the master who Yang Su was referring to was in fact, the dead Second Prince!

How was that possible? Yang Su’s words would have been taken as a joke if that not for his newfound status among the populace.

So instead of dismissing his words, people began to dig up information on Li Shen. And that was when the disciples from the other Continent made a startling discovery.

This trashy Second Prince shockingly possessed two supreme-grade attributes!

After becoming a Soul Cultivator, he began recruiting people for his faction inside the Celestial Academy and formed this terrifying group of individuals.

But Asides from this and a few more things like him dumbfoundedly dying to a Heavenly Calamity, nothing much was known about this mysterious Second Prince.

Just that he used to be a hooligan in his earlier childhood.

However, someone suddenly started a strange rumor. A weird and peculiar rumor that had everyone scratching their heads as they questioned its validity with skeptical expressions.

The rumor was, that Sol Dai Hee was in fact the Maple Continent’s Second Prince, Li Shen.
