Chapter 1070: Chapter 1068: Spiritual Child Battle! On the Verge of Eruption! (5 Chapters in Total)

Ye Wuhuan descended step by step from the Cloud Sky and made his way onto the Martial God Platform.

"Greetings to Sect Leader Supreme!"

"Greetings to Sect Leader Supreme!"

In this place, no fewer than five hundred thousand warriors all bent in a salute in unison.

Ye Wuhuan, with a cold expression, loudly said, "Dismiss the formalities!"

This person was none other than one of the three great Sect Leader Supremes of the Miracle Ridge, the guardian of the Five Peaks, the monarch of the Lingdong First Dynasty, Holy Night Dynasty, and the biological father of Ye Suxin, Ye Wuhuan!

Ye Wuhuan said, "Time flies so quickly, another year has come to an end, and once again, it’s time for the yearly Spiritual Child Battle. I wonder how much progress the warriors who failed to secure a seat last year have made today?"

"Di Xia, Tong Ji, from Shiyezhou, are the three of you ready this year?"

Ye Wuhuan looked toward the three warriors at the front of the Martial God Platform and asked with a smile.

These three had participated in the Spiritual Child Battle last year but missed the seats by a hair, helplessly they could only wait another year and continue to participate in the Spiritual Child Battle!

On hearing Ye Wuhuan’s words, the three warriors immediately responded with a smile.

"I have made full preparations!"

"This year’s Spiritual Child seat is mine for the taking!"

"Di Xia, Tong Ji, you two might as well go have some tea because this year’s Spiritual Child seat will be mine, Tong Ji, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Within the brief exchange between these three warriors, the air was already thick with the smoke of battle.

Having heard this, Ye Wuhuan responded with a smile, "Good, I will then wait to see you outshine the rest and seize the Spiritual Child seats later."

"Fellow disciples, the Spiritual Child Battle is not only about selecting outstanding talents for the Five Peaks!"

"Likewise, there are many benefits to becoming a Spiritual Child warrior!"

"The greatest benefit should be clear to all of you, right?"

"Correct, those who become Spiritual Child warriors can cultivate at the Holy Heart Spirit Pool, the unparalleled place for breaking through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm!"

"In the outside world, perhaps it would take ten years to break through from the Earth Elixir Realm to the Heavenly Elixir Realm, but while cultivating in the Holy Heart Spirit Pool, at most ten days are needed, and sure success in breaking through!"

"So please, do your best."

Ye Wuhuan said with a smile.

"We will give it our all!" Immediately, the warriors preparing to participate in the Spiritual Child Battle resoundingly responded with excited expressions.

Ye Wuhuan nodded and smiled, "This year’s Spiritual Child Battle, as always, is divided into two rounds!"

"The first round, the qualification battle! At that time, all warriors wishing to join the Spiritual Child Battle may enter the fray to compete for Qualification Tokens."

"There are a total of thirty-two Qualification Tokens, which will be released onto the Martial God Platform in batches. The warrior holding a Qualification Token can move on to the next round."

"Before the Martial God Platform, there are thirty-two seats. Warriors who hold a Qualification Token and sit on these seats will have ended their contention, and all warriors may no longer strike a blow!"

"The second round, the Arena Battle!"

"The warriors holding Qualification Tokens will have the right to join the next round, which is the Arena Battle, until the last and strongest is decided!"

"Has everyone understood?"

After a brief introduction to the rules, Ye Wuhuan asked the warriors present.

Many of these warriors came to watch the Spiritual Child Battle every year, and they were extremely familiar with the rules.

But it was the likes of Lin Bai, who had just joined the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, for whom the Spiritual Child Battle was still quite unfamiliar.

"Qualification Tokens, released in batches!"

Lin Bai silently familiarized himself with the rules.

Seeing that none of the warriors present displayed any objections, Ye Wuhuan immediately said, "Then good, let us begin the qualification battle."

"Please, Peak Master Kang Xiao, begin releasing the tokens."

Ye Wuhuan gave a slight smile to the black-robed person next to him.

This person was Kang Xiao.

Kang Xiao saluted Ye Wuhuan, stepped forward, and with a flick from his Storage Bag, a Token turned into a ray of light floating above the Martial God Platform.

Lin Bai hurriedly looked toward the Token.

This Token was simple in make, without any complicated engravings, with only the number "1" written on the front.

"Is this the first Qualification Token?"

Lin Bai eyed the Token without making any rash moves.

However, other warriors, upon seeing this Qualification Token, burst forth in a rush, charging toward the Martial God Platform!

The first to lead the charge was a man in a red robe; this person, with crimson clothes and black hair, eyes fierce, and a terrifying power erupting from within him, blew away a group of surrounding warriors with a single burst!

"You dare compete with me for the Token? Are you looking for death?"

The man in red roared in anger.

The surrounding warriors exclaimed in fear, "It’s Di Xia!"

As Di Xia made his move, his terrifying power instantly intimidated hundreds of warriors at the Great Perfection of Earth Elixir Realm, who couldn’t catch their breath, and he easily pocketed the first Qualification Token into his Storage Bag.

Afterward, with a flash of his figure, Di Xia took his seat in the first chair.

All the warriors rushing toward the Martial God Platform had yet to understand what had happened but could only stare at Di Xia, hesitant to advance.

"So strong."

When Di Xia made his move, a terrifying force suppressed a hundred warriors at Great Perfection of Earth Elixir Realm. This technique frightened all the warriors in attendance, causing an outcry.

"Indeed very strong." Lin Bai was also deeply shocked by Di Xia’s move.

Kang Yiyang said, "It seems he’s grown even stronger than last year."

Ye Wuhuan smiled satisfyingly at Di Xia.

Then, Kang Xiao, seeing Di Xia take his seat, took out the second competition token from his storage bag!

The second token was snatched by Shiyezhou!

The third token was snatched by Tong Ji.

Until the fourth token!

"Xu Jiangsheng!"

Lin Bai saw a man in a purple robe emerge from the crowd on the Martial God Platform as the fourth token appeared. The man displayed great power, repelling all the other contenders and taking his seat in the fourth chair.

This person was none other than Xu Jiangsheng, whom Lin Bai hadn’t seen in over a year!

"Mad! Di Xia, Shiyezhou, Tong Ji, Xu Jiangsheng are all so powerful!"

"It seems we have no hope for the Spiritual Child this year!"

"Heh, I don’t think it’s that simple. Every year there are quite a few dark horses that emerge, and this year will be no exception."

"Yes, the waters of the Five Peaks are too deep. The real strong ones haven’t even made a move yet."

Many warriors were mere onlookers, watching as qualification tokens were fervently contested on the Martial God Platform!

A full three hours passed by.

In total, thirty-one tokens had been claimed by warriors.

And then, there was only the last one left!

"The last one!" Lin Bai clenched his fists and fixed his gaze on the Martial God Platform.

"Brother Lin, you should think this through carefully. Your cultivation is too low at the moment. If you rashly make a move, I fear you won’t reap any good outcomes," Kang Yiyang once again advised Lin Bai.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I know my cultivation is a bit low right now, but I don’t have time to wait for next year. I must grab a Spiritual Child seat this year to break through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm in the Holy Heart Spirit Pool!"

At that moment, Kang Xiao took out the thirty-second token. As his spiritual power stirred, the token landed atop the Martial God Platform!

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and he turned into a streak of light, bursting through the crowd. In an instant, he grabbed the competition token and then appeared in the thirty-second chair, promptly sitting down.

"Huh?"

"Where’s the token?"

"I clearly saw the token appear on the Martial God Platform, how come it’s gone?"

One after another, the warriors rushing onto the Martial God Platform began to exclaim in surprise.

"What was that thing that just flashed past me?"

Afterward, many warriors turned their attention to the thirty-second Spiritual Child seat, where a white-robed man at the Seventh Level of Earth Elixir Realm had already taken his place in the thirty-second chair!

"Such incredible speed!" Even Ye Wuhuan narrowed his eyes at this moment, glancing at Lin Bai!

Such speed astounded Ye Wuhuan, causing a flash of alarm in his heart!

Lin Bai had just executed the Seventh Rotation of the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, reaching a peak speed in the blink of an eye. Before all the other disciples could react, like a bolt of lightning, he had seized the token and without looking back, landed in the chair!

"Lin Bai!"

"It’s Lin Bai!"

Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu exclaimed one after another.

Their eyes widened at the sight of Lin Bai; they certainly had not anticipated that Lin Bai would participate in the Spiritual Child Battle.

Despite being at the Eighth and Ninth Levels of Earth Elixir Realm respectively, Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu hadn’t taken part in the Spiritual Child Battle. Instead, Lin Bai, at the Seventh Level of Earth Elixir Realm, had?

In another direction.

Hong Su and Ye Suxin were also dumbstruck by the sight of Lin Bai.

"He actually joined the Spiritual Child Battle! Too reckless, with his cultivation at the Seventh Level of Earth Elixir Realm, it will be difficult for him to become a Spiritual Child," Ye Suxin said with some concern when he saw Lin Bai claim the token.

"Not necessarily, don’t underestimate him," Hong Su said with a faint smile.

On the left side of the Martial God Tower, there was an area with over a hundred chairs.

This was the seating for the Spiritual Children from previous years.

At this moment, over fifty disciples were sitting in the chairs, watching the contest for the Martial God Tower with laughter. They were all Spiritual Children from past years.

Among these Spiritual Children, there were several familiar faces to Lin Bai, such as Su Cang, Liu Baoshen, Wei Tianyi, Zhang Xiao, and others!

"Lin Bai!"

When Su Cang, Liu Baoshen, Wei Tianyi, and Zhang Xiao saw who took the thirty-second chair, they became furiously wide-eyed and glared at Lin Bai, growling lowly in anger!
