Chapter 818: Chapter 812: Perfectly to My Liking (3 updates)

Zheng Jingyuan and Xue Shousong instantly looked up, their eyes fixing on Shao Jian, harboring ideas of poaching him.

Aside from Shentu Ni, it was impossible for the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect to fancy a second person; thus, if Shao Jian passed the assessment, he’d either join the Lijian Sect or the Heavenly Imperial Sect.

Both Zheng Jingyuan and Xue Shousong desperately wanted him!

In truth, they were competitors.

However, both of them managed to keep their composure. Even though they were tempted to win over Shao Jian immediately, with members of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect present, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

"Thank you for the compliment." Shao Jian cupped his hands toward Liu Erfu and then stepped down from the stage.

Accompanying him was a thunderous round of applause.

The remaining four martial cultivators from the Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom were all flush with excitement, each of them staring at Shao Jian with endless admiration and thrill.

Afterward.

The remaining four young monster martial cultivators from the Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom took to the stage one by one.

Among these four, three were at the Eighth Layer of Vaulted Extreme Realm and one was at the Ninth Layer.

In the end, the three martial cultivators at the Eighth Layer could barely scratch the Divine Blood Stump, with almost no depth to speak of, while the one at the Ninth Layer chipped away half an inch, which is one-eighth of an inch, only half as much as Zhuu Zhenjiu.

Also hailing from the Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom, their performance paled greatly in comparison with Shao Jian.

As everyone from the Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom finished their testing, it was the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom’s turn.

In fact, the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom had always been the strongest among the Four Great Ancient Nations, even slightly surpassing the East Crane Ancient Kingdom.

For this reason, the six monsters from the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom who came to participate in the selection were all exceptional, boasting one peak Eighth Layer of Qiongji Realm martial cultivator, four Ninth Layer martial cultivators, and one First-Level Ancestral King Realm martial cultivator.

Overall, the quality of the six from the Northern Sacred Kingdom surpassed those from the East Crane Ancient Kingdom, even if Chen Kui had not died at Su Chen’s hands.

Yet, a single Shentu Ni overshadowed them all.

Because Shentu Ni was there, even the Ancestral King Realm monster from the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom didn’t receive much attention.

Like the Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom, the first to step up from the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom was that First-Level Ancestral King Realm martial cultivator, a super genius who was only twenty-seven, short in stature and unusually silent and still, cloaked entirely in a black robe.

In his hand was a sword – a very special sword. Generally, weapon-swords are large, thick, heavy, and brimming with killing intent. But his sword was thin, narrow, cold, devoid of any killing aura.

"Very strong!" Everyone took note, and naturally, Su Chen turned his gaze towards this person, murmuring in his heart. This person gave him a feeling much stronger than Shao Jian.

The difference between an Ancestral King Realm and non-Ancestral King Realm was like heaven and earth.

Quickly.

He stepped onto the stage.

"I am Lu Ye!" he announced, his voice somewhat cold.

As his words fell.

Suddenly.

The entire Martial Battle Hall palpably vibrated with countless swords thrumming and Sword Intent soaring into the sky; sword light seemingly descended from the Nine Hevens, endlessly pure, almost liquefying, each slash crimson—a beauty indescribable and eerie.

With the movement of the thin sword, in the blink of an eye, a surge of sword wind rippled through, and every martial cultivator in the Martial Battle Hall clearly felt an icy chill at their necks, as if grazed by a flash of Sword Light.

An indescribable horror, a stifling pressure.

Even more terrifying was that, aside from a very few individuals, over ninety-nine percent of the spectators completely failed to see how Lu Ye made his move. Lu Ye seemed to be enveloped in a world of Sword Intent, impenetrable to the gaze, only vaguely comprehensible through a certain intuition.

In the fraction of a breath, Lu Ye had already retracted his thin blade.

The whole process was so fast it was like an illusion, leaving no time for thought to catch up.

And after Lu Ye withdrew his blade, obviously even Shentu Ni squinted his eyes slightly, a touch of battle intent and astonishment in the depths of his gaze.

Zheng Jingyuan and Xue Shousong both shuddered violently, staring at Lu Ye like starving wolves eyeing a juicy piece of meat.

Even within the Superior Taoist Instrument palanquin, a faint ’Eh’ was heard, clearly, Lu Ye’s performance had taken the formidable lady from the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect by surprise.

Liu Erfu took a deep breath and measured with the Measuring Ruler.

A few breaths later, under the anticipation of tens of thousands, Liu Erfu declared loudly: "Seven inches!!!"

Liu Erfu continued, somewhat excitedly: "The best result ever achieved above the Divine Blood Stump..."

Inside the Martial Battle Hall, there was first silence, and then...

Clap clap clap!

An unimaginable roar of cheers, screams, excitement, clapping, and shouting suddenly surged, noisy enough to break through the heavens.

Many of the spectators blushed with excitement, completely carried away by their emotions.

An earth-shattering record that made them lose control of their emotions.

Especially since this result had made history.

The remaining five young geniuses from the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom all lifted their heads, striving to contain their excitement, but couldn’t help casting provocative glances at Shao Jian and Shentu Ni.

In their eyes, Lu Ye was the true once-in-an-Eternal Ages super genius.

What were Shentu Ni or Shao Jian in comparison?

Even if Shentu Ni was said to have the Pure Sword Physique, so what?

Indeed, an unimaginable record like Lu Ye’s had caused such a sensation, and of course, they were excited.

Zheng Jingyuan took an even deeper breath, his heart racing with excitement as he stared at Lu Ye, his desire reaching an extreme.

Generally speaking, the selection in the Buddha Domain would occur only every few thousand or even ten thousand years.

And each time, only two or three sects out of the thousands in the Buddha Domain would have the opportunity to participate.

Lijian Sect had expended immense effort and resources, not to mention the unimaginable cost of thirty to fifty thousand years’ worth of Martial Cultivation Resources, to secure this chance to partake in the Buddha Domain’s selection.

What for? Wasn’t it for the purpose of finding a few favored super geniuses from the Buddha Domain’s selection?

Like Lu Ye, who was just perfect.

Zheng Jingyuan even found himself almost salivating at the thought. With Lu Ye, Lijian Sect’s future for the next million years was certainly set for an ascent.

Involuntarily, Zheng Jingyuan cast a wary glance at Xue Shousong beside him.

Unexpectedly, Xue Shousong was also looking at him, with an almost identical expression.

"Young Brother Zheng, the Heavenly Imperial Sect only wants Lu Ye; we can leave the rest to Lijian Sect," Xue Shousong whispered.

"Hehe... Senior Xue, have you had one too many drinks? What kind of drunken nonsense are you spouting?" retorted Zheng Jingyuan with a laugh, slightly disdainful. Xue Shousong was indeed playing a fine game - did he take him for a fool?

"Then may the best man win!" Xue Shousong huffed and involuntarily turned to look at Lu Ye, his gaze filled with such fervent desire that it was almost red, already determined in his heart that no matter the cost, he would have Lu Ye.
