Chapter 83: The Preliminaries End
ng Dajiang watched his son from afar.
The powerful Godfiends of Archean Mountain were currently paying attention to his son. The three Godfiends in charge of presiding over the examination were staring at ng Chuan. This showed how much attention they paid to him.
A lone figure!
His son had now surpassed all the geniuses. Even the extrely talented Ji Yuantong had only passed the seventh round, while his son was already dodging the tenth round of hail. ng Dajiang could sense the geniuses’ envy and jealousy as they stared at ng Chuan.
Chuan’er. ng Dajiang felt even prouder.
Nianyun, our son is really outstanding. He will definitely enter the Archean Mountain and obtain the best nurturing. ng Dajiang’s blood boiled as he watched from the side. He was even more excited than his son—who was undergoing the assessnt.
...
As the Godfiends watched, the geniuses also stared at ng Chuan with mixed emotions.
The segnt’s tenth round continued. The hailstones were terrifyingly fast. ng Chuan had transford into a blurry phantom completely. Every ti he moved, the hailstones would appear to pass through his “body,” but in reality, none of them hit him.
When the hailstones stopped, ng Chuan remained in the circle.
He passed the tenth round as well? Ji Yuantong, Zong Sha, Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Jin Xin, Yan Chitong, Li Ying, and the other geniuses were all dazed. The gap between them was ridiculously huge, and they only had disbelief in their hearts!
So ng Chuan is that powerful. Yan Jin stared at the solitary figure carefully.
“Continue!” King East River’s voice was filled with anticipation. His eyes were filled with fervor as the hail rained down at elevated speeds. Although the hail seed to hit ng Chuan, in actuality, they only pierced through his afterimages.
This scene left the other geniuses sowhat numb. The difference was ridiculous.
Pfft!
Suddenly, a hailstone turned to powder when it hit an afterimage. ng Chuan stopped, and the hail ca to a halt.
Everyone knew that he had failed.
After dodging several hailstones in the eleventh round, ng Chuan ultimately failed. However, his results still left the geniuses speechless.
“His spiritual perception is indeed incredible,” said King East River with a smile. He said to the sloppy man and the cyan-clothed woman, “Ji Yuantong’s spiritual perception is very strong, but such quality can be found once every few years. However, ng Chuan’s spiritual perception can only be found once every few centuries. His spiritual perception will definitely make it very easy for him to condense an Essence Soul. His potential is extrely great, but what’s crucial is to nurture him well.”
“He still needs to achieve Saber Intent and Saber Soul... He needs to cultivate step by step.” The sloppy man nodded as well. “Nothing can be accomplished with a single step. No matter how talented he is, it’s useless if he doesn’t focus on cultivation.”
“A peerless piece of unpolished jade has arrived at our Archean Mountain. It is our duty to nurture him well,” said the cyan-clothed woman with a smile.
“Yes.” King East River nodded.
The trio’s aura fluctuations were sothing the mortals didn’t dare to look at. Their voices were cut off from any outsiders.
...
ng Chuan stood still dazedly. I still couldn’t dodge that hailstone. My body is still too slow.
Unbeknownst to ng Chuan, when a genius avoided the hail, they would first see with their eyes, or use their Force domain to sense the hailstones. The information would then be transmitted to the brain. This transmission required very little ti. The feedback from the brain also needed ti to be transmitted to the body.
There were three stages for reacting to a stimulus: acquisition, thought, and instruction.
As for ng Chuan, his hundred-foot domain was actually the result of the “soul” in his glabella space directly sensing sothing. His soul would “see” everything. After sighting, the soul would think and react.
Therefore, ng Chuan skipped the process of transmitting information to the brain. He “saw” with the soul directly, and his soul did the thinking. This was much faster than using his brain to think!
The only thing that remained the sa was the fact the brain commanded the body. This was the sa as the other geniuses. If ng Chuan fused the Power of the Soul with his entire body, then the commanding of the body would be done through the Power of the Soul. That made it much faster! He would’ve probably reached the fifteenth round if he did so!
However, he didn’t use the Power of the Soul. Just relying on the uniqueness of the “soul” in his glabella space, ng Chuan managed to pass the tenth round, though he failed the eleventh round.
“ng Chuan.” King East River’s voice rang out. “Well done.”
Upon hearing the praise, ng Chuan couldn’t help but feel delighted.
King East River turned and left.
The sloppy-looking man smiled and said loudly, “The preliminaries have ended. All of you can take a break. According to the results of the preliminaries, Archean Mountain will decide on the hundred participants that will participate in the final selection tomorrow. Those who are not in the top 100 are eliminated.”
With that said, he and the cyan-clothed woman turned and left. However, when they left, they took another look at ng Chuan.
“Haha.” The group of Marquis Godfiends—who had been watching the preliminaries—also stood up and left.
“ng Chuan, well done.” A familiar voice sounded in his ears. ng Chuan looked up and saw Marquis Southcloud smiling at him from afar before he left with the other Godfiends.
ng Chuan stood alone in his circle.
“Young Master ng, please follow .” Imdiately, a steward from Blazing Sun Palace ca to guide him.
ng Chuan nodded.
Soon, he arrived in a hall. There were dozens of geniuses, and their family and friends present. The mont ng Chuan arrived, he imdiately attracted the attention of many.
“Chuan’er.” ng Dajiang welcod him.
“Dad.” ng Chuan smiled.
“Well done.” ng Dajiang patted ng Chuan on the shoulder. “If your grandaunt knows about this, she will definitely be very happy.”
ng Chuan nodded gently. His grandaunt was still waiting for news back in their hotown.
“Let’s wait. Archean Mountain will need ti to decide the top 100,” said ng Dajiang. “This ranking is very important. It should take quite so ti.”
“Yes, I wonder how high I’ll rank,” said ng Chuan.
“Being in the top two shouldn’t be a problem,” said ng Dajiang. “The only one who can compete with you is Ji Yuantong.”
ng Chuan nodded as well. “I was too weak in the first assessnt.”
ng Chuan was ranked twenty-third in the first assessnt. However, he ranked first in the second and third assessnts.
On the other hand, there was Ji Yuantong—who had ranked number one in the first assessnt, fifth for the second assessnt, and second for the third assessnt. It had to be said that Ji Yuantong traversed the second assessnt’s tunnel while carrying hamrs—which weighed a few hundred kilograms. His physical talent was indeed monstrous.
“ng Chuan.” Yan Jin walked over. The others had friends and family, but he was alone. He said, “Congratulations. You will definitely be able to obtain a spot for Archean Mountain’s final selection. Furthermore, you will definitely be in the top three.”
“I hope so.” ng Chuan smiled.
“ng Chuan.” A clear female voice rang out.
ng Chuan turned to look.
A purple-clothed woman walked over. She was the focus wherever she went. She was born with an air of nobility, and her smile could lt the hearts of others.
“Princess,” greeted ng Chuan politely.
“I heard of your na a long ti ago,” said Princess Li Ying with a smile. “It’s just that you’re far more powerful than I thought. Once we enter Archean Mountain, we must spar and see if you can avoid my arrows.”
After the first three assessnts, Li Ying beca confident about her chances of entering Archean Mountain. She was the second best sharpshooter among the geniuses this ti. Only Zong Sha was stronger than her. Archean Mountain placed great importance on sharpshooters, so she was confident that with her strength, Archean Mountain would admit her.
“Let’s do it when the ti cos,” said ng Chuan with a smile.
“It’s a deal then.” Princess Li Ying looked to the side. “Young Master Yan, your dual swords are extrely powerful. We should spar once we enter Archean Mountain.”
“Alright.” Yan Jin responded tersely. He was willing to accept any combat opportunities. Every battle was a chance to train himself.
Princess Li Ying smiled and left after exchanging a few pleasantries. She had been born in the imperial family, so she was used to socializing and befriending people who could help her. In her eyes, ng Chuan and Yan Jin were clearly worth befriending.
...
Ti passed.
Occasionally, people would co to talk to ng Chuan and ng Dajiang! After all, everyone could tell that ng Chuan would definitely be able to secure a spot, even if they weren’t certain of the final rankings.
The sky gradually darkened as the snowstorm intensified. Everybody waited in the hall and the corridors anxiously.
“The ranking has been decided!” A voice sounded from afar.
The goateed man held a golden scroll. Behind him were other stewards—who had walked through the snowstorm.
The preliminaries’ rankings are out. ng Dajiang and ng Chuan looked into the distance. They were only curious if he was ranked first or second. It was unlikely he would rank third! As for the other geniuses and their family and friends, they were much more nervous. Many geniuses were not destined to enter the top 100, destroying their chances of participating in the final selection.
