The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 251 - 251: 248: Choosing the Examination Site 1

Thinking that, Yang Chen noticed the respectful look on Zhou Haoran’s face as he gazed at the Ziyang Sect disciple above and couldn’t help but ask, “Master Zhou, do major sects like Ziyang Sect always deploy so many talents to participate in the Genius Selection Competition like this?”

“Of course, no matter whether it’s the Ming Emperor Sect, Ziyang Sect, or Taotu Sect, or even the Canghai Sect and Yuanshan Sect, they will sparing no effort to send their disciples to participate in the Genius Selection Competition,” Zhou Haoran said with a bitter smile, “That’s the upsetting part for us clans. There are many opportunities to shine, but with those sect disciples around, it becomes harder to do so. These sect disciples are all extremely elite.”

Yang Chen was somewhat puzzled, “Why would these sects go to such great lengths, sending thousands of inner and outer sect disciples? What’s the point? If they have already joined the sect, participating in this selection competition seems meaningless.”

“It does have great significance. After all, isn’t the purpose of these sects doing this to display the strength of their generation? Nobody wants their sect to lose prestige, so during the Genius Selection Competition, all of their talented disciples are put on display.”

Zhou Haoran sighed, “That’s one reason, and the second reason is to better recruit talented individuals. Every Genius Selection Competition, there will always be a few geniuses being targeted by these sects. Tell me, Yang Chen, my friend, would you be more inclined to join a sect that performs exceptionally well in the Genius Selection Competition or one that performs poorly?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, so that was the meaning behind it.

“Moreover, there are valuable rewards for those who make it into the top ten of the Genius Selection Competition. If you can get the first place, the value of the treasures you will receive is even more immeasurable. This is prepared jointly by Beishan Main City and Canghai Sect’s North Mountain Gate, and no sect will be able to resist it.” Zhou Haoran’s face lit up with excitement, but he quickly calmed down and said with regret, “Although my daughter Yunxi is excellent, she still falls short when compared to these sect geniuses.”

After the Ziyang Sect entered Beishan Main City, Zhou Clan’s team also passed the examination of the city’s guards and grandly entered Beishan Main City.

Yang Chen stood with Zhou Haoran and the other Zhou family elders, lost in thought, and asked, “Master Zhou, how strong are the geniuses from the previous Genius Selection Competitions?”

“It’s hard to say,” Zhou Haoran shook his head, “The standard of geniuses varies from one competition to another. In several cases, there were remarkable prodigies who reached the Sixth and Seventh Level of the Spirit Martial Realm at only 18 years old. I don’t know what it’s like this time. Of course, these geniuses will all be competing for the top ten spots. Yang Chen, my friend, although it might be a bit of a stretch for you to make it to the top ten, as long as you perform well, there’s nothing difficult about being seen by a top sect.”

Yang Chen blinked upon hearing this.

Compared to his current Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Level, reaching the Sixth or Seventh Level seemed a bit far-fetched.

But since he had arrived at Beishan Main City, he wouldn’t back down now.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he observed the inner city of Beishan Main. He could see that Spirit Martial Realm powerhouses, who were extremely rare in the Great Wilderness, were emerging in large numbers. Even Origin Martial Realm masters were not uncommon. This made Yang Chen realize that his strength was insufficient. At least, his strength seemed quite weak in Beishan Main City.

So, he found a place to stay with the Zhou family in Beishan Main City.

Next, it was time to register.

“Young friend Yang Chen, I have to take my daughter Yunxi to register. Would you like to join us?” Zhou Haoran extended an invitation.

Yang Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse, “Thank you, Master Zhou!”

It was a good idea to follow the Zhou family team in the vast Beishan Main City, as there was no telling what might happen.

There were still three days left before the Genius Selection Competition, which was the registration time for many geniuses.

Upon arriving at the registration site, Yang Chen couldn’t help but gasp for cold air.

A dense crowd covered the area, and people could be seen everywhere.

“There are too many people,” Yang Chen laughed.

Zhou Haoran, rich in experience and unimpressed, replied, “This is normal, every Genius Selection Competition held in Beishan Main City is a big event for North Mountain County. This is just one of the registration venues that can accommodate thousands of people. In fact, there are dozens or even hundreds of registration locations, and this is just one of them! If you add them all up, it’s even harder to imagine how many people there are.”

Yang Chen also felt the scale of the Genius Selection Competition, which stirred a ripple in his normally unemotional heart. Seeing this grand event, his heart couldn’t help but boil with excitement.

Zhou Yunxi, standing beside them, was even more excited, “Father, I’ve seen so many geniuses. Some of them are not much older than me, yet the aura they emit is even stronger than mine.”

“Humph, now you see it, you need to work even harder. Learn more from young friend Yang Chen, and don’t just play all the time,” Zhou Haoran scolded.

Zhou Yunxi stuck out her tongue.

Under Zhou Haoran’s guidance, Yang Chen and the others found a relatively less crowded registration site and went to register.

“What’s your name?”

“Wang Tong!”

“Wang Tong, put your finger on this compass and drop a drop of blood! This compass is to test your actual age.”

The youth named Wang Tong wasted no time and quickly dropped a drop of blood.

“Wang Tong, representing Han City, 17 years old, eligible for registration! This is your token. You are assigned to the 17th Examination Area. Remember to arrive on time in three days; latecomers not allowed!”

“Zhang Lan, representing Zan City, 18 years old, eligible for registration. This is your token, No. 13 exam venue!”

Soon, it was Zhou Yunxi’s turn.

Following her father’s instructions, Zhou Yunxi voluntarily dropped a drop of blood into the compass, and said with a smile, “Zhou Yunxi, here’s my City Lord’s Command.’

The examiner was at the Origin Martial Realm without even lifting his head, he took out a token, “Seventeen years old, eligible for registration. This is your token, No. 24 exam venue!”

“No problem.” Zhou Yunxi, radiating youthful innocence, smiled, “Yang Chen, it’s your turn!”

Yang Chen chuckled, dropped blood into the compass, and said, “Yang Chen, representing Liaocheng! ”

The examiner looked up, slightly surprised, “Yang Chen, huh? Fifteen years old, this is your token, 121st Examination Area!”
