Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races Chapter 118: The Prodigy Tournament Begins, Secret Realm Poi

Amidst the discussions, the Great Xia Academy team of seven arrived, led by Su Die, with Liu Yanran following closely behind her.

Next in line were the two won, Xiong Xiaoxiao and Qin Yu.

Finally, there were the three n: Lin Ping’an, Hao Yong, and Song Changkong.

The appearance of four won and three n imdiately drew widespread attention.

Everyone cast their gaze, so out of curiosity, others with disdain.

Instantly, the noise level on-site more than doubled.

"Look! Quickly, look! That’s the team from Great Xia Academy! They’ve finally arrived!"

"Wow! Such strong presence! All of them are above the Third Grade, no wait, except for that pretty boy at the end who’s only Second Grade."

"Hmph! That pretty boy is Lin Ping’an? What a joke! He’s only at the Second Grade, yet they exaggerated him up to the Fourth Grade realm. The online information these days is truly unreliable!"

"Not even two taels of at on him, that pretty boy Lin Ping’an looks like he can’t take a hit! Hardly a threat at all!"

"Seeing is believing, a re Second Grade dares to claim the strength of a Fourth Grade fighter, it’s simply ridiculous!"

"Among the seven, four are female martial artists, giving off an inexplicable feeling of yin flourishing over yang!"

"..."

The seven paid no heed to any of this, walking straight ahead to their seats in the front row.

Being the top academy in Great Xia, their arrangent was naturally different.

This very front area was reserved specifically for them.

Throughout the whole process, Lin Ping’an silently followed along, considering himself just part of the background.

In fact, were it not for the intention to upgrade his free martial arts knowledge exchange privileges, he wouldn’t even be here!

Participating in such a competition, for him, was no different than wasting ti.

Ten minutes passed.

Several figures appeared out of nowhere, their presence at least that of a Sixth Grade Quasi-Grandmaster Martial Artist or above.

Soon after, one of them stepped forward, skillfully unleashing their qi and blood, instantly dominating the room.

Imdiately, the venue fell silent as if no birds chirped.

It’s the usual routine; before every announcent, the strong always like to show off this way.

It’s simple, quick, and efficient.

After a breath.

"Ahem, ahem! Next, I formally announce the procedure for this year’s Grand Xia Talent Competition."

"After deliberation, it has been decided that this ti the competition will be conducted in the form of a secret realm team points competition."

"Each academy can send out a team of five official mbers and two substitutes, all entering the small secret realm to engage in point-earning activities."

"The competition will last for seven days and nights!"

"There are three ways to earn points, as follows."

"First, by hunting exotic beasts in the small secret realm: One point for a First Grade Exotic Beast, ten points for a Second Grade, one hundred for a Third Grade, and so on, with the level cap at the Sixth Grade."

"Second, by finding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which can be submitted for points."

"Third, by defeating and eliminating mbers of other academy teams, thereby earning half of their points."

"Upon entering the small secret realm, each person receives a pass token. It will automatically evacuate you in case of severe injury or a life-threatening crisis."

"At the end of the competition, the total points of the participating mbers from each academy will determine the academy’s ranking."

"Additionally, individual points will also be ranked, with the highest scorer becoming the individual champion and receiving generous rewards."

"Oh, and one more thing, as a special reminder, this year’s Grand Xia Talent Competition will be broadcast live across the entire network."

"That’s pretty much everything, gather at seven tomorrow morning, where arrangents will be made for everyone to enter the small secret realm for the competition."

After neatly finishing the speech, the several strong figures disappeared once more.

Highlighting a swift and decisive deanor.

On the other hand, following a brief mont of silence, the scene quickly erupted into noise again.

"Hahaha... Who’d have thought... the situation would be like this this ti... Interesting... So very interesting!"

"A secret realm trial? A points competition? That’s quite intriguing!"

"Actually having a global live broadcast, hehe, it’s the perfect ti to show off my skills!"

"Defeating other academies? I’ve long wanted to test those guys’ abilities!"

"In this Talent Competition, I, Wang Teng, will surely shine brightly and take the lead."

"..."

From the front row, Lin Ping’an yawned indifferently.

What utter boredom!

I ca here just to hear so competition rules.

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have co!

With this thought, he stood up, and began walking out.

The sa was true for Su Die and the other six, standing up in haste, eager to leave.

Lately, they had been busy studying the cultivation technique "Illusory Demon Nine Shadows" and wouldn’t have shown up if attendance wasn’t required for the eting; they’d rather stay indoors and cultivate.

After all, with the shadow of Lin Ping’an, a veritable Great Demon King, looming over them, their desire to beco stronger was more fervent than ever.

The sudden departure of the seven also sparked so sarcastic comnts from those with a keen interest.

"Hmph! Those fellows from the Great Xia Academy are so arrogant, coming late but leaving in such a hurry, not even bothering to interact. They truly don’t regard us as worthy!"

"This live broadcast! It’s bound to make those guys witness the grandeur of our Southwest Academy."

"I wonder what the rewards are this ti, I’m quite curious!"

"Regardless, if we defeat those from Great Xia Academy, the additional rewards within our academy will certainly not be small."

"Let’s go, let’s go! We should leave too and prepare well!"

"..."

Before long, teams from various academies began to leave one after another.

anwhile.

The news of the all-encompassing live broadcast of this year’s Grand Xia Talent Competition spread vigorously online, causing countless people to engage in heated discussions.

"Shocking! Truly shocking! The Grand Xia Talent Competition is being broadcast live across the network! And it’s in a secret realm! It seems like the official actions recently are quite bold!"

"Indeed! In the past, the specifics of the Talent Competition were kept secret, and now this edition is beginning to broadcast live! Such a big change!"

"Doesn’t matter! I must watch it well tomorrow! I’ve never seen what a secret realm looks like!"

"I heard that the so-called secret realm contains all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, fierce exotic beasts, and even ancient ruins, ancient inheritances, and the like."

"So exciting! It truly is exciting!"

"..."

Overnight, the Grand Xia Talent Competition beca the focal topic of conversation for everyone.

The next morning, teams from various academies gathered, and each person was issued a token.

At that mont, Lin Ping’an toyed with his, observing and examining it intently.

Neither gold nor silver, nor copper nor iron, with mysterious patterns erging on its surface, it carried a faint, inexplicable majestic aura.

Yet, upon close inspection, it seed sowhat illusory, as if it could disappear at any mont.

A bit contradictory, and also sowhat incomprehensible.

After a few minutes.

All the tokens in everyone’s hands emitted a white glow simultaneously, enveloping their holders within.

In an instant, the white light wrapped around its bearer, transforming into streams of light, breaking through the void, and vanished without a trace.

The next mont.

Everyone had already appeared within the secret realm.

anwhile, on the internet, the live broadcast of the Grand Xia Talent Competition also began.

Anyone could freely choose any participant as the main focus, watching from a spectator’s perspective.

Beside it was a points leaderboard, showing the nas of participants from various academies.

In no ti, nurous people flooded into the viewing perspectives of those renowned talents.

The number of viewers choosing to watch female martial artists’ perspectives was several tis, or even more than ten tis, that of male martial artists.

Of course, having served as both valedictorian and top martial artist this year, Lin Ping’an still had so fa.

Quite a few people entered to have a curious look.

However, shortly after watching, they quickly left to continue watching other talents.

After all, in the eyes of the public, Lin Ping’an’s reputation was simply too unimpressive.

Lacking either a tall and robust physique or the deanor of a strong figure.

No matter how one looked, he was nothing more than a flashy pretty boy in white.
