Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Determining the identity of the participants was an indispensable task. In order to ensure that the best resources were given to the geniuses with the greatest potential and they nurtured the most outstanding talents in the Central Continent, the previous school leagues had limited the qualifications of the participants to those below 40 years old and those with strength above the Great Spirit Master level.
All participants had to be students from the academies in the Central Continent. There had once been experts who had colluded with a second-rate academy to participate in such a competition. However, after entering the Demon Spirit Tomb, they were excluded. That academy had also been disqualified from visiting the Demon Spirit Tomb again. All the students of the academy left overnight, and the academy could no longer operate.
The benefits obtained after entering the Demon Spirit Tomb were simply unimaginable. In the past, after entering it, any incomplete weapon could be comparable to a high-grade Spirit Weapons on the mainland. No one could resist this temptation. If one was lucky, once they were chosen to enter the Swamp Holy Land, there was almost no doubt that they would become a Divine Realm expert in their lifetime.
The existence and heaven-defying nature of the Demon Spirit Tomb also ensured that even the four great Spirit Master families did not stop their disciples from entering the academies to study and cultivate.
Human Spirit Masters, on the other hand, could live up to 500 years after becoming a Spiritual Grandmaster. What was the ultimate goal of their cultivation? Wasn’t it to live forever?
There were more than a hundred academies participating in the competition this time. The participant highlights were all from the four academies. After all, the four academies were the places where experts gathered. Compared to the four academies, some other second or even third-rate academies in the Central Continent had brought teams here. Instead of saying that they were competing for the spots, it was better to say that they were taking this opportunity to see the peerless geniuses of this continent.
“Next, please confirm your identities and draw lots for the order of battle!”
Before the judge finished speaking, almost everyone in the Empire Square stood up. Long Yu’s name had been known throughout the Central Continent since he became a Spiritual Grandmaster before the age of 40. He was a hero in the eyes of all swordmasters except for Your Excellency Leng Qianmo.
Long Yu’s name could have been circulated on the continent for a longer time. Unfortunately, from Bei Ye’s sudden appearance to Ninth Huangs famous name on the continent, to Beiting Huangs transcendent history, the people on the continent only remembered Beiting Huang now and had long forgotten Long Yu.
At this moment, when Long Yu arrived, everyone remembered that this person seemed to be an extraordinary genius. He was part of the Sword Sect and was not even 40 years old. He was a super expert who could catch up to Your Excellency Leng Qianmo.
Compared to Spirit Masters, who could be promoted by their intrinsic magical beasts, swordmasters were a little miserable. All the advancement could only be done through continuous cultivation, improving their physique, and accumulating strength bit by bit.
Long Yu stood on the arena. He held a long sword that was suffused with a black and ancient aura in his hand. His sinister gaze swept across the entire venue and finally landed on the area where the participants of the Empire Academy were. Until now, the two front rows were still empty.
The corners of Long Yu’s lips slowly curled up. Hmph, Beiting Huang, coward. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of coming now!
This was the first team from the four academies to go on stage, and right on the heels of them was the Luminous Moon Royal Academy, led by Chu Heng.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Heng was dressed in an exquisite imperial robe and holding a shining spear. He was a powerful nine-sword Star Spirit Master and also a Spirit Master who had a nine-star offensive divine beast. His strength was comparable to that of a Spiritual Grandmaster. Coupled with his handsome face and noble royal aura, he won the hearts of all the women as soon as he appeared, and their exclamations shook the sky.
The third powerful team was the Tianluo Team led by Luo Shaomo from the Central Continent Academy. This guy had a Lord-level Tianluo Umbrella. It could attack and defend. Its attack could break the defense of all overlord level opponents. It could also defend against all attacks below the overlord level..
