Chapter 619: Chapter 613 Preliminary Selection Begins

The noisy venue suddenly quieted down. From the east, a chilling aura approached, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look over.

In their line of sight, a voluptuous and strikingly beautiful woman approached, catching most people’s eyes with her stunning appearance. Furthermore, her seductive attire easily led many to indulge in fantasies, their blood boiling.

"Who is that?"

Seeing the appearance of this beautiful woman, Ye Xuan was also taken aback. From the looks of it, this beautiful woman must be the host of this selection contest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, participants of the Continent’s Son selection contest, welcome to this grand event. I am Yu, the host of this contest."

The beautiful woman’s every frown and smile was captivating, with a natural allure. However, just as many in the audience harbored restless thoughts, a dreadfully oppressive aura suddenly emanated from her, chilling everyone to the core.

That was the fearsome pressure that only Martial Saint Strong People could exude.

"This selection contest is based on the principles of fairness and equity—no one is allowed to use any enhancing substances. Should I discover any, the punishment will be severe. The most severe penalty would be death, and the least severe would be the destruction of one’s cultivation."

Her indifferent voice resonated through the venue as if piercing souls; every young prodigy present shuddered. Those who had harbored any minor schemes now had to abandon them.

If discovered, the consequences would be too severe.

Trying to cheat in front of a Martial Saint was undoubtedly an impossibility. Besides, apart from Yu, there were other judges whose cultivation was not weak, including several who were Semi-Saints.

These judges, experienced in battle, could easily tell if someone had ingested pills or performed beyond their usual abilities.

"Let me explain the rules of this event to you all."

Seeing that her intimidating approach had achieved its goal, Yu immediately resumed her charming smile. "There are about four to five hundred participants in this selection contest, but only a hundred can enter the trial. The seed players from the eight domains altogether make exactly one hundred. My method is simple and rough—whoever can replace the original hundred to become the new seed players will secure their places. Conversely, the original seed players, if defeated, will lose their status. And remember, a single defeat results in complete disqualification, so choose your opponents wisely."

Yu’s words spread across the venue, immediately causing a stir.

Such rules sounded terrifying; at least the fairness was significantly compromised. Every participant had only one chance; if they lost it, they were completely out, with no opportunity for a redo.

Even the seed players were somewhat unsure; they too had only one chance. If they lost, they would be eliminated. To avoid losing, they had to go all out and eliminate those challenging them.

"The list of seed players, along with an assessment of their strengths, will be distributed to all of you shortly.

If no one has any objections, the contest will begin in half an hour."

Having conveyed the rules, Yu floated back and alighted on a high platform in the venue.

The crowd, upon hearing her, could only smile bitterly. Even if there were issues with the rules, who dared to object?

Soon, Ye Xuan received a handbook listing all the seed players and a brief evaluation of their strengths.

However, the disparity in the strength of seed players was great. People like the Fire God Crown Prince, Bu Qianfan, and Duanmu Yu were undoubtedly among the strongest. Such individuals were rarely challenged, though there were exceptions where some sought to make a name for themselves by challenging them—though such instances were very rare.

"Seed players are all formidable foes; replacing them won’t be easy," Fei Yue remarked, looking at the handbook somewhat sentimentally.

"That’s not necessarily true,"

Ye Xuan smiled. "With your current strength, Sister, challenging some of the slightly weaker seed players, you still have a good chance."

"Really?"

Fei Yue’s eyes sparkled with interest; she knew Ye Xuan wouldn’t jest about something like this. She then fixed her gaze straight on Ye Xuan, "Then Brother, recommend someone for me to challenge. Who should I choose from this list?"

"Sister, your Saber Skill is fierce and sweeping. The main issue is the Cultivation Technique you practice, which causes you to have a weighty murderous aura. This makes you a target, but also presents opportunities to be targeted."

Ye Xuan pondered.

"I’m just asking who I should choose."

Fei Yue was aware of her own shortcomings and hearing Ye Xuan bring them up felt like a hit to her confidence.

"Go for Yin Zongli. You should have a relatively good chance against him."

Ye Xuan wasn’t familiar with others; he could only rely on a brief assessment of their strengths. He had had previous encounters with Yin Zongli and knew a bit about him.

"Okay, I’ll choose him then." Fei Yue was already eager to fight, and seeing that Yin Zongli was on a similar level, she felt quite confident.

"Who are you planning to choose, Brother Ye?"

At that moment, Ximen Ying also asked Ye Xuan; he was curious about whom Ye Xuan would choose because that person would be unlucky.

"Let’s see how it goes, no rush."

Ye Xuan wasn’t in a hurry to pick an opponent. For him, as long as he didn’t challenge the strongest batch, the others were all the same—it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

"That guy isn’t planning to pick me, is he?"

At this time, on the other side of the venue, someone started to feel inexplicably nervous—a person from the Demon Flame Valley, Song Qing. He looked at Ye Xuan, who was far away, with a worried expression. He was concerned that Ye Xuan might choose him, knowing well that he had lost to him back in the Demon Flame City and didn’t believe he could turn the tables this time.

Amidst the intense buzzing of discussion, half an hour quickly passed.

"I, Zhen Buping from the Black Sand Domain, challenge Feng Sihai from the White Dragon Domain."

As the referee announced the start of the contest, a thin young man leapt onto the central stage, calling out his challenge by name.

Swish!

From the direction of the White Dragon Domain, a robust figure shot out.

"Please enlighten me!"

Feng Sihai had already prepared for being challenged. Once he heard someone stepping on stage to challenge him, he didn’t hesitate and promptly appeared to face the battle.

The two contestants, one wielding an axe and the other a sword, engaged in an intense battle that reverberated through the air.

In the end, Feng Sihai proved to be more skilled, winning this first duel. He eliminated his opponent and, for the time being, retained his status as a seed player.

After being challenged, he would no longer face the next ten challenges and could rest and recover the True Yuan he had expended in the previous match, ensuring fairness in the competition.
