On the Floating Platform
Creak!
Feng Tian clenched his fists tightly as he stared fixedly at Zhuowen who was on the arena below. His expression was savage, and he wished for nothing more than to tear Zhuowen into pieces.
However, he knew that he couldn't make a move now because Lü Hantian's cold and indifferent gaze was staring fixedly at him from the other side of the table.
Feng Tian knew that if he made a move, Lü Hantian would definitely come out to stop him. His strength was on par with Cao Zhi, so he was definitely not a match for Lü Hantian.
"Zhuowen!"
Feng Tian fiercely muttered Zhuowen's name as he took a deep breath and sat back down on the table while his gaze flickered.
Zhuowen smoothly emerged from the eighth arena and walked towards the high platform under the lead of a soldier. He arrived at the place where Huangfu Wudao and the other four geniuses were.
"Zhuowen!
I never imagined that your strength would be so formidable. Even Cao Yan and Feng Yong were defeated by you. "
Guo Sheng laughed loudly as he arrived near the five geniuses. He arrived before Zhuowen and sized up Zhuowen with dense shock in the depths of his eyes.
He still remembered that Zhuowen was utterly powerless against him when they were in Muqin County. Now, not only had Zhuowen's cultivation caught up to his, even Cao Yan and Feng Yong, two geniuses in the top 65 of the Azure Emperor Rankings, had been defeated.
The speed of Zhuowen's improvement had truly exceeded Guo Sheng's expectations.
Originally, Guo Sheng thought that his improvement was already fast enough. However, he paled in comparison to Zhuowen!
The corners of Zhuowen's mouth curled into a smile as he looked at Guo Sheng and said, "Brother Guo is too modest!
Your strength is probably stronger than mine. At the very least, I'm unable to see through you now. "
Zhuowen was speaking the truth. He really couldn't see through Guo Sheng. There was only one explanation for this situation, and that was that Guo Sheng's cultivation was above Zhuowen's.
Three months ago, Guo Sheng had already reached the peak of the Ultimate Seven-Wheel Emperor Stage and could easily defeat Feng Yong. Now that three months had passed, with Guo Sheng's talent, Zhuowen didn't believe that Guo Sheng hadn't made any breakthroughs.
In other words, Guo Sheng was very likely an Ultimate Eight-Wheel Emperor Stage expert.
"Humph!
Little bastard, you were lucky to meet Cao Yan and Feng Yong in the group stage. If you had met me, I would have made you suffer an incomparably miserable end. "
An ear-piercing voice sounded out, causing Zhuowen's eyes to turn cold. He turned to look at the lofty Huangfu Wuji and lightly said, "His Highness the Second Prince is truly unparalleled in this world. Someone as insignificant as me can be killed with a flip of his hand."
"However, in the Peach Blossom Origin Diagram, His Highness the Second Prince was at the peak of the Ultimate Seven-Wheel Emperor Stage and I was only at the peak of the Ultimate Six-Wheel Emperor Stage. There was a difference of an entire realm between us. At that time, His Highness the Second Prince threatened to kill me, but now, I seem to be standing here perfectly fine."
As he spoke to here, Zhuowen no longer spoke. Instead, he stared at Huangfu Wuji with a mocking gaze.
Zhuowen's words seemed to be flattering Huangfu Wuji, but in reality, he was saying that Huangfu Wuji was clearly stronger than Zhuowen, yet he still couldn't kill Zhuowen. He was mocking Huangfu Wuji for being incompetent.
"You have a sharp tongue and a glib tongue. Zhuowen, you're only good at talking now. Once we truly fight, I'm afraid you'll truly regret it."
Huangfu Wuji's eyes narrowed. Before he could open his mouth to refute, Grand Lily suddenly opened her mouth. Her cold voice was particularly ear-piercing to Zhuowen's ears.
"You're just a slut that I'm about to divorce, yet you dare to spout such nonsense in front of me?
I'll give you one word. Fuck off! "Zhuowen didn't even look at Grand Lily as he coldly retorted.
Towards Grand Lily, Zhuowen could be considered to have a deep-seated hatred. This woman had the heart of a snake and scorpion. Back in the Peach Blossom Origin Diagram, she had wanted to kill him. How could Zhuowen possibly have a good attitude towards this woman?
"What did you say?"
Grand Lily was so angry that her body trembled. A terrifying aura gushed out from her body, pressuring Zhuowen.
"Haha!
Everyone, let's not harm each other. Now that we've all successfully entered the top ten of the Azure Emperor List, we can be considered brothers and sisters. Let's not fight and kill, okay? "
At the instant that Grand Lily released her terrifying aura, an even more overbearing aura swept out, directly suppressing Grand Lily's aura. Soon after, a rather gentle voice sounded out.
Grand Lily's beautiful face slightly changed. She turned her head and saw a trace of a gentle smile on Murong Zhan's face.
Grand Lily's eyes revealed a trace of dread. She coldly snorted and fiercely glared at Zhuowen before slowly restraining her aura.
It wasn't only because of Murong Zhan, but also because this was the Golden Imperial Palace. Private fights were not allowed!
Zhuo Wen glanced at the beaming Murong Zhan in astonishment. He nodded his head and shifted his attention to the remaining four arenas below.
Time passed by minute by minute. The strongest of the four arenas had already been filtered out.
Arena number two was Qing Yan, Arena number five was Qing Ming, Arena number seven was Zhu Bai, and Arena number nine was the Lightless Monk.
Qing Yan, Qing Ming, and Zhu Bai were originally in the top ten of the Azure Emperor List. Hence, Zhuowen wasn't surprised that they were the strongest of their arenas.
What really surprised Zhuowen was the Lightless Monk in Arena number nine. The final battle in Arena number nine was naturally between Lv Yitao and the Lightless Monk.
Lv Yitao was ranked 60th on the Azure Emperor List, while the Lightless Monk was ranked 69th. Their rankings were close. Originally, everyone thought that this battle would be a stalemate.
However, in the end, Lv Yitao was defeated by the Lightless Monk in one move and was directly eliminated from the arena.
Although Lv Yitao's strength was much weaker than Zhuowen's, he had been extremely diligent in his cultivation for the past three months. His cultivation had also reached the peak of the Ultimate Six-Wheel Emperor Realm.
Arena number nine originally didn't have any geniuses in the top ten of the Azure Emperor List, so Lv Yitao's chances of standing out were very high. However, the Lightless Monk suddenly appeared halfway and displayed his terrifying strength, directly eliminating Lv Yitao.
"This Lightless Monk's strength is at least at the Ultimate Seven-Wheel Emperor Realm!"
Looking at the Lightless Monk behind Qing Yan, Qing Ming, and Zhu Bai, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. The Lightless Monk's strength had surprised him.
At this point, the results of all ten arenas had been announced. This also meant that the new top ten of the Azure Emperor List had appeared in front of everyone.
On the table, the Azure Emperor slowly stood up with a gentle smile on his face. He said in a clear voice, "Everyone has seen it. The top ten of the Azure Emperor List have been selected!"
"They are Huangfu Wudao, Murong Zhan, Gran Baihe, Qing Yan, Qing Ming, Zhu Bai, Huangfu Wuji, Guo Sheng, Zhuowen, and the Lightless Monk!
First, this Emperor would like to congratulate the ten of you. "
When the Azure Emperor said this, everyone below the arena revealed excited expressions. The top ten of the Azure Emperor List hadn't changed much. The only change was that Cao Yan, who was ranked 65th, and Feng Yong, who was ranked 3th, had been eliminated. Zhuowen and the Lightless Monk had been newly promoted.
Of course, in this arena battle, the one who had stunned everyone the most was still Zhuowen on the eighth arena!
After all, Cao Yan and Feng Yong had both been defeated by Zhuowen. From this, it could be seen that Zhuowen's strength had far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Since the top ten of the Azure Emperor List have been selected, the next step will be the top five. Everyone should be aware of the importance of the top five of the Azure Emperor List!" As the Azure Emperor spoke to here, he deliberately paused.
As for the ten geniuses in front of the high platform, their eyes shined with a strange light. Even Huangfu Wudao's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, revealing the restlessness in his heart.
This time, the top five of the Azure Emperor List would have the qualifications to participate in the entrance examination of the Excellent Divine Institute. This was a great opportunity.
To the Azure Xuan Empire, the Excellent Divine Institute was a colossal existence. Throughout the entire Eastern Lands, the Excellent Divine Institute was an illustrious existence. Even the Blue Dragon Hall couldn't ignore its existence.
If they could enter such a colossal power, it would undoubtedly be like reaching the heavens in a single bound. Just the huge amount of resources and teachers in the Excellent Divine Institute was enough to allow a cultivator to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
Even the arrogant First Prince, Huangfu Wudao, had a blind pursuit of the Excellent Divine Institute. He also desired to enter the Excellent Divine Institute.
"The Excellent Divine Institute!"
Among the ten, Zhuowen's eyes shone with a dazzling light. He couldn't help but feel excited. The Excellent Divine Institute was the place of his dreams that he had been looking forward to for a long time.
In the Excellent Divine Institute, not only did it have the complete Ice Fire Sacred Symbol, but it also had Mu Chenxue, whom he yearned for day and night. He, Zhuowen, had to enter the Excellent Divine Institute no matter what.
"This Emperor will not speak any more nonsense. The battle for the top five will begin now!
As long as you enter the top five, you will have the qualifications to participate in the entrance examination of the Excellent Divine Institute. "
Speaking to here, the Azure Emperor waved his sleeves. Suddenly, countless green lights descended from the sky and landed in the middle of the arena.
Rumble!
As the green lights descended, the ten arenas in the middle of the arena emitted a strange green light. Following which, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, they transformed into a gigantic green arena that was a few hundred feet tall.
This huge cyan fighting ring floated quietly in the air above the square, giving people a sense of awe as they looked up at it from afar.
The ten geniuses on the high platform all focused their gazes on the gigantic arena floating in the air with different expressions on their faces.
"This is the floating arena, the stage for the ten of you!
The rules are simple. Two on two battles, survival of the fittest.
However, in the battle for the top five, you cannot kill.
If anyone wants to kill, then don't blame this Emperor for being impolite. "
Speaking to here, the Azure Emperor's tone became much more serious. The top ten geniuses of the Azure Mystic Empire had already been chosen. They represented the highest standards of the Azure Mystic Empire. If they were to die, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss.
Zhuowen and the rest naturally knew what the Azure Emperor was thinking. They all nodded their heads without any objections.
"Now, draw lots to choose your opponent!"
Finishing his words, the Azure Emperor tossed his right hand and ten green bamboo sticks floated in the air.
"I'll go first!"
Huangfu Wudao stretched out his right hand, and a suction force swept out from his palm. Suddenly, the ten bamboo sticks in the air were sucked into his palm.
With Huangfu Wudao taking the lead, the other nine geniuses also drew their bamboo sticks. Zhuowen was no exception.
