Text Chapter 35: Jade Box (Part 2)
"Today is a great day for the cultivation world." The ceremony was presided over by Huo Yun. His eyes held a hint of well-hidden arrogance and a hint of condescension. He spoke lightly, but his voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears: " In the world of spiritual practice, time is extremely precious. I don’t want to waste the time that everyone here regards as my life, so I keep all the procedures simple.”
"According to the rules, the ceremony is divided into three steps, qualifying, potential test, and on-site signing ceremony." As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Killer's voice sounded as if it had been rehearsed: "A quarter of an hour later, the qualifying will officially begin. Hit. Outside the arena, anyone who takes the initiative to admit defeat will be deemed a loser. Dear guests, do you have any objections?"
No one spoke, no one dared to speak.
Tens of thousands of people were silent at the scene, but in the center of the arena, the sixty students from Nantong Province who were attracting the most attention all had a flash of light in their eyes.
They had never heard of it in qualifying, but this name was so straightforward that it couldn't be more straightforward. As long as you move your head, you can think of why.
However, they also had no objection at all.
Thirteen first place winners, no one wants to be inferior to others!
In the branch school, they are already number one, and here, they are even more looking forward to reaching the top in the spotlight of thousands of people!
No one answered him. After about ten seconds, Shadow Sha nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good... You students have been living on campus for a long time, so you probably don't know the origin of the qualifying competition. This is Tiandao's five-year practice."
"The monks not only compete with heaven and the world, but also compete with others." Huo Yun said calmly, like a king who reigns over thousands of people: "After you step out of the heavenly path and enter the world of practice, everyone will Comrades are also opponents. Thousands of people fight against each other, but one person can survive alone. This is the essence of spiritual practice."
"If demons stop me, kill them. If humans stop me, defeat them. If heaven stops me, break them."
“Only by moving forward bravely can we reach the other side of the golden elixir.”
"Tell me." He said with a smile, looked at the young man who was already excited by these words, and said with a slight smile: "Do you have such confidence?"
"have!"
The young people in the audience, whether they were students or not, almost all roared together, and the sound shocked everyone!
"Very good." Huo Yun waved his hand slightly, and the next second, a delicate jade box, about fifty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
The box is made of light cyan jade, without any flaws. This kind of beautiful jade would definitely be fetched a high price by jade lovers in the world, but now, it is just a prop to hold objects.
There are no gaps, just like this is a natural piece of jade. However, no one can ignore the depression that their heartbeat almost stops the moment the box appears!
Golden elixir spiritual pressure!
Like the ocean tide, like the movement of clouds. It's silent, but in an instant, it covers every place in the world!
It is different from the foundation building... If we say that the foundation building period is about releasing spiritual power, the attack is like a fire god burning the sky, and the silence is like the autumn wind in the bamboo forest. Then, the golden elixir stage is a truly great terror and great majesty.
Nothing to say, nothing to do. That restrained power was enough to make no one dare to look directly at the box.
"In every qualifying match, there is a great gift from Jin Dan Zhenren. This is the prize of this year..." Among the tens of thousands of people, an old man's hands were trembling with excitement: "I have watched the ceremony countless times. Every time Jindan Zhenren’s winnings are taken out, I am always shocked..."
"Grandma... you, do you think this is the pressure of the Golden Core cultivator?" On the other side, a young man lowered his voice excitedly and said: "What's in that box is really..."
"Of course it's a good thing given by the Golden elixir monk!" His grandma was even more excited than her grandson, her eyes were a little red: "I don't know what it is this time... but everything, every time, is simply unimaginable. A true treasure!”
"Are you sure?" On the other side, Vice-pilot Qi looked at the box greedily and pursed his lips tightly: "Is it really that thing?"
"One hundred percent." Chu Tianyi's voice was hoarse with a hint of suppression. He took a deep breath and stared at the box: "Except for me, no one at the scene knew that they were willing to take out that thing this time..."
Huo Yun sat in front of the box, seemingly calm, but his and Ying Sha's spiritual power had reached its peak! Only then did he resist the thought of retreating a few feet.
Not the first time...
This was not the first time that the box was placed in front of him through the Tiandao rudder.
However, every time they look at it, they feel that this lucky draw... is probably an incredible treasure!
A treasure that cannot even compare to things like Xuanxuan Creation Liquid!
They have long studied that the box is full of invisible restrictions. They don't know which Jindan Master left it. If they try to open it by force, they will be attacked by spiritual power that will last them decades!
Therefore, even they don’t know what is in it!
I can only feel...feel the vast smoke-like breath inside, the most primitive desire that makes people hungry and thirsty even though they don’t know what it is!
"What is inside here?" Huo Yun suppressed the shock in his heart, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and with a touch of his right hand, the jade box disappeared out of thin air.
"Heh..." At the scene, countless sounds of relief converged into a soft stream. Even the Foundation Establishment monks felt suppressed by this small box and wanted to stay away. Even though they were hundreds of meters away, they still felt short of breath.
"This is the prize for this year." Huoyun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he was unwilling to face this unknown pressure: "It is slightly different from previous years. I was not told which Jindan Zhenren gave it to me. Nor did he say what it was."
"Only one thing is the same as usual." He stood up, his eyes swept across the sixty people in the center of the arena, and said word by word: "In the qualifying competition, the champion should win this treasure."
The voice was not loud, but it instantly added fuel to the fire of the sixty people!
The qualifying competition, they didn't even need to explain what it meant.
No one objected. Especially the thirteen first place winners, no one admitted that the other party was better than themselves. But...
This was just the idea just now.
If, before, they only understood the qualifying competition by themselves. However, after Huoyun told them that the champion won the treasure, everyone's eyes changed.
The treasure of Jindan Zhenren, the silence just now, every pore, every cell seemed to be immersed in the awe of the ocean of pressure, this moment, their competitive spirit reached the extreme! Climbed to the top!
What's inside?
A magical medicine? A precious weapon? Or... a top-grade spiritual stone?
No one knows, but it is precisely because of this unknown that the mysterious box that was glimpsed at first glance has a more mysterious atmosphere!
No matter what it is, it is definitely a rare opportunity that comes once in a hundred years! The opportunity to become a world-class cultivator! The first step for them to spread their wings and fly!
"Senior, is the ranking competition the way we graduating students are ranked? Is this how the first place is determined?" A student, his voice was a little hoarse due to excessive excitement and expectation, and he clasped his fists and said: "Can the junior understand that only those who stand at the end of the ranking battle are qualified to seize this treasure?"
"Yes." Yingsha answered calmly, and no one saw that until the box was put away, his clenched fists slowly relaxed.
Xu Yangyi did not speak. Everything Chu Zhaonan said was true. Even if his spiritual power dropped, even if he failed to level up, but...
This unknown treasure, who else can it be but me!
With a sigh of relief, he began to circulate his spiritual power. A feeling of a tiger out of its cage spread in his heart, and a bloodthirsty impulse grew wildly throughout his body.
"Lions, but they want to eat people..." His eyes swept across all the first place faces calmly, and he lowered his eyes again: "Who set me up... It doesn't matter, I will ask them one by one immediately..."
"The first place will be ranked with the first place, and the others will be ranked with the others." Huoyun smiled and said: "Time waits for no one, start immediately."
This sentence finally freed everyone from the silent frenzy just now.
Every mortal in the cultivation family stared at the computer. Fingers were placed on the familiar keys, ready to investigate at any time. And the head of the family was already looking at the center of the ring with shining eyes!
In the front row, Dingxiang, Furong, and Vulture breathed a sigh of relief. Dingxiang picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and the three of them stared at the field.
On the other side, Chu Tianyi looked calm, his eyes half closed, but his face was as white as a tissue. A faint yellow light flashed on his chest, but his expression did not change at all.
"Are you okay?" Deputy Captain Qi frowned and asked, "This is the pressure of the golden elixir... Even if there is only a trace of it, it is not something that mortals can bear."
"That is an ordinary mortal." Chu Tianyi did not speak for a few seconds. After a long time, he closed his eyes and ordered the two Qi training monks he brought with him: "Dingguang, Dingyuan, you know what to do."
The two Qi training monks bent down slightly, and their eyes involuntarily stayed on their rings.
"This thing... If it is not named Chu, no other family is worthy of it."
The scene was quiet. Like the ocean where a storm is about to come. Yingsha lightly snapped his fingers, and with a crisp sound of "swish", thirteen white aura balls suddenly appeared in front of him. He picked up two pieces casually and crushed them gently.
In an instant, the aura inside was smoky, like thousands of white snakes dancing wildly! One on the left and one on the right, two columns of large characters were formed in the air!
Left! The first place in Zhaoping City, Luo Sanfeng.
Right! The first place in Yuyang City, Xu Yangyi.
"Both of you step out."
"Hush..." At the same time, Xu Yangyi's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
He clenched his fists, making a crackling sound, and pressed his legs. The ligaments are very good...
He pushed his hands and jumped onto the two-meter-high ring.
Strips of bluestone spread under his feet. On the other side, a young man with a side-parted hair about 1.78 meters tall jumped onto the ring at almost the same time.
There is no need for too much explanation, and no one asked why there was a qualifying competition. The box is the best explanation.
There is no full moon night, no Forbidden City Peak, only the unique fairy from the sky!
Dozens of heads of cultivation families have stood up, their eyes are like fire, some are young, some are old. Some are ugly men, some are beautiful women. Some hold the handrails, and some lean forward. The whole audience looked at the two in silence.
The first match... is between the 5A students and the 3A students!
