Chapter 168
Star Region ranked ninth among the many large regions in the Southern Continent. Naturally, it had its uniqueness. The Star Region was full of spiritual energy. It could be said that geniuses were extremely common. These geniuses had grown up and could increase the Star Region’s luck for thousands of years.
The Star Region Grand Contest was a conference jointly organized by the Star Region’s overlords to temper Heavenly Talents.
As one of the Top Ten Grand Regions, this grand competition had far-reaching influence and would even attract some talents from other Regions to participate, making it even more challenging.
The reward, Spiritual Fire, was something that the existences at the King Realm would also drool over.
It could lay a foundation for the true Heavenly Talents.
The Star Region overlords were willing to take it out, so naturally, they were confident of their Region’s Heavenly Talents.
The Star Region was not afraid of challenges.
The venue of the Grand Competition was at the super-giant power of the Star Region, Star City.
This was a megacity, located in the center of the Star Region, surrounded by stars, shining with silver lights. It was vast and majestic, just like a rising star that suppressed all others. Under the Power of Laws, it could accommodate millions of people at the same time.
The Grand Competition was about to begin, and people were flooding in like a tide to the gates of Star City.
Everyone was eagerly talking about their pick on which Heavenly Talent would be the winner.
“Then I need to say more, Xing Wuhen! How proud is he? He has no rival in the same realm! The winner has to be him!”
“Xing Wuhen is indeed powerful, but who can deny the existence of No. 1 on the Star Rankings? And don’t forget, there is also Fairy Yin Meng…”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was quiet, nodded slightly, and was left amazed.
Who didn’t know that the number one position on the Star Ranking had been changing between Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng constantly?
Among the Star Region’s Heavenly Talents, they were the best.
Sometimes, Xing Wuhen may be the number one star on the Rankings, and after a while, it may be Fairy Yin Meng. The position for number one was conquered by both of them.
In the eyes of everyone, they were almost equal, and their strength was hard to distinguish.
“It’s difficult, I don’t know if this time the Grand Competition can really decide who will truly be first place!”
“It’s hard to say. Unless a dark horse rises and defeats them, there will be a fight between the two, but the winner? It’s not easy to decide.”
After speaking, everyone looked at each other with arrogance.
In this generation of the Star Region, Heavenly Talents had come forth in large numbers, but the best of them were Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng. Either one of them could defeat a lot of other Heavenly Talents in combat. In the eyes of everyone, even the others among the Top Five Heavenly Talents, weren’t worth mentioning.
After this Star Region competition, the Heavenly Talent who receives the Spiritual Fire would definitely be able to progress further. Their Star Region would usher in immortal prosperity for thousands of years to come.
“The Grand Competition has begun! The first round is to hunt Star Beasts! Whoever has more points will be promoted to the next round!”
Someone spread the news, making a large commotion.
The so-called Star Beasts were in fact the projections of the Demon Beasts. It was the King of Star City, who used the great Divine Ability to attract Starlight and molded it into the form of the Demon Beast. He then killed thousands of demon beasts, absorbing their spirits into a formation thus creating those unique Star Beasts.
They were soulless, bloodthirsty, and ruthless. They could release a little starlight when killed. The Starlight equaled points.
“If nothing goes wrong, Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng will definitely win one of the top two positions, getting far more points than the third place.”
“I’m used to it, but I don’t know who will get first place.”
“Third Place will belong to one of the Heavenly Talents of my Star Region, that’s all. If it’s someone from Outer Regions who wins the Spiritual Fire, I’m afraid it will leave a psychological blow.”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, Xuan Yi clasped his hand on the occasion of the Star Region Grand Competition, with a smile on his face.
“Go, as a disciple of Profound Sword Sect, let me see what Rank you can achieve, and the results of your practice in the past six months.”
Everyone clasped their fists and said yes in unison, their battle intent rose as they plunged into the Star Beast Secret Realm.
On the other side, a group of five students from Beichen College, all wearing golden armor, with cold expressions and faint arrogance in their eyes, scanned the crowd, shook their heads, and rushed to join them.
Swish!
Vast starlight flashed, and a person appeared in the sky, his eyes were indifferent, and the starlight all over his body made him seem like an immortal Star God.
Ha!
Pale moonlight was projected down almost at the same time, and a woman with a beautiful and cold face in a white dress appeared and gave Xing Wuhen a faint glance.
The two looked at each other, while a sneer appeared at the corners of their mouths. Soon, they too stepped into the Star Beast secret Realm almost at the same time.
“What?”
Xuan Yi had some suspicion, as he had the system check them, and found that one of them had a Star Spirit Body and the other had a Moon Spirit Body.
“Interesting.”
An enthusiastic smile appeared on Xuan Yi’s face.
The Star Spirit Body had a close affinity to starlight, and the starlight could be used to increase cultivation speed, as well as fighting power during the battle, so it could be said to be a very strong physique.
The Moon Spirit Body was like the darling of the Moon God. Under the moonlight, the combat power nearly doubled. It wasn’t weak either.
Xuan Yi stood with his hand held up and sighed.
This Star Region was really filled with talent.
It’s just that the Star Spirit Body and the Moon Spirit Body were more powerful, but Xuan Yi felt that they would not be the opponents of the six disciples that he had trained for such a long time, but would only become their stepping stones for them to hone their invincible Sword Dao.
Xuan Yi was confident.
All the Heavenly Talents entered the Star Beast Secret Realm, and then it closed. At the same time, a leaderboard next to it revealed itself, refreshing everyone’s results at all times.
The competition officially begins.
Swish!
After a few breaths, the Star Rankings changed.
Among the expecting eyes of everyone, the names of Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yinmeng were high above. Although they were not the top two, everyone was convinced that the next time they refreshed, they would be able to leave the rest of their competitors behind.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The rankings were constantly refreshing, and contenders were constantly changing, but the eyes of everyone in Star City were gradually becoming a little strange.
Both Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng, who was highly admired by them, ranked far from the top. However, there were still a dozen people ahead of them. They were left far behind.
“Are the Rankings wrong?”
“What kind of power is the Profound Sword Sect?”
Some people were surprised and wondered if the list was wrong.
There were even more people staring at the top five in the rankings, no, the top six.
After some time, the top six had basically been fixed, and they were all unfamiliar names, but behind them was the same sect, the Profound Sword Sect.
Looking at their points again, the first Yu Linglong, a terrifying one hundred thousand points. The Second, Jian Chen, 80,000 points, and the Third, Cai Ling’er…
“I haven’t heard of these names before, who are they?”
Star City was dumbfounded.
The Seventh Place, Chen Qianfan, had a name that sounded as if it came from their Region, but the crowd glanced at each other, the doubt in their eyes told them that no one in Star Region had ever heard this name, the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh were all were unknown.
Xing Wuhen, known as the Star of the Star Region, actually ranked Twelfth.
Everyone was quiet, and it took a long time for someone to be able to speak.
“There must be a mistake on the list, right?”
“Impossible! The list is made by the Lord of Star City himself, he can’t make a mistake! Xing Wuhen is indeed ranked Twelfth…”
First in the Star Rankings, and only Twelfth place in the first round.
Moreover, the first six were actually rounded up by a force from the Profound Sword Sect.
The name of Profound Sword Sect, like a haze, weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.
“It’s okay, in the first round they got lucky. From the Seventh to the Eleventh, don’t you even know them? This is just the first round of competition. I think Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng haven’t used all of their strength.”
They could only comfort themselves like this.
Someone’s voice echoed, and when everyone heard these words, they suddenly came over.
They were caught in a dilemma, thinking that if the person was number one on the Star Ranking, they must be number one in everything.
But in the first round of the competition, there was an element of luck, and with the addition of strength and luck, you could soar into the sky.
Moreover, Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng may not have used their full strength.
Everything depended on the next round, and even the final result.
In the next round, the top 20 would come out, and fight with real swords.
With real swords, everyone in Star Region felt that Xing Wuhen and Fairy Yin Meng were never afraid of anyone in the younger generation.
“They are enough to crush all enemies!”
Someone shouted, and quickly got a response, as the cheers grew louder and louder, causing a wave.
Xuan Yi smiled slightly and shook his head.
Even without real swords, all of his disciples could command Sword Intent, and they had never been afraid of anyone.
