Chapter 125: Tournant Rules
The hall instantly quietened down and no one dared to let out a word, so even holding their breath in fear causing a ruckus.
Fifth Cultivation Stage. The point where one will et their first and most important bottleneck!
If they successfully break into the next Stage, their future to step into the Second Realm was 99% guaranteed, but if not… They might never be able to break into the Sixth Cultivation Stage at all!
Reaching the Fifth Cultivation Stage was nothing a huge feat one couldn’t accomplish, but it was another story if one reached the Fifth Cultivation Stage at the age of 17!
As everyone knew, the participants ca out from the freshn this year, the new Cultivators who only obtained their Talents a bit more than a month ago.
So this ant that the girl right before them not only was an unparalleled genius who reached the Fifth Cultivation Stage in under a month but even had a solid background that helped her!
No one in the entire cultivation world is capable of reaching the Fifth Cultivation Stage under a single month without any outer help. Let it be Essence Pills, places similar to Blade Mountain, or so kind of extrely powerful Secret Arts, this female Cultivator before them definitely used external help to reach her current Cultivation Stage under such a short span of ti!
But even if she did, it didn’t change the fact that right now, she was the strongest among all of them!
“She is telling the truth. She is truly on the Fifth Cultivation Stage.” exclaid her thoughts quietly Madam Snow toward Master Adam as she recorded Seila’s data into her notebook slowly.
Master Adam nodded as he felt Seila’s Cultivation Presence too, but his face didn’t show the slightest of surprise at all.
After Seila walked down from the platform Cultivators one after another introduced themselves, announcing their nas, Academy, and their Cultivation Stage.
However, luckily no one appeared after Seila who seed to be on the Fifth Cultivation Stage, leaving the majority of the participants only on the Fourth and Third Cultivation Stage.
Unfortunately, there were even so that were on the Second Cultivation Stage, but those were the typical Cultivators that have already given up all hope to survive even the first day.
“Perfect, it seems we got everything we needed,” exclaid Madam Snow, closing her notebook and lowering her hands before her slim waist.
Master Adam nodded upon hearing this and walked to the middle of the platform.
“Now then, let announce the rules of this decade’s Thousand Life Tournant.”
“?” when the crowd of Cultivators heard this imdiately turned confused as they didn’t understand what ‘rules’ there can be in a battle where only killing ant survival.
That’s why the whole crowd quietened down and waited with curious complexions for Master Adam to continue.
“As you may know, the last Thousand Life Tournant was held in a one-on-one system where one qualified for the next round if they killed their opponents.”
Everyone in the room nodded in agreent, so even laughing as this was only basic knowledge and those who didn’t know were all fools.
“Well, this ti things won’t work the sa way as then.”
Imdiately as his voice fell, the entirety of the hall broke into a loud uproar, so cursing out loud in confusion while so only raised a brow for that statent.
There were even so whose eyes brightened up with the hope that maybe they could avoid being killed.
But that hope was shattered like a piece of glass right away the next second…
“Instead of a one-on-one fight, I and the Cultivator’s Organization decided to hold the tournant in a deserted area where all the two hundred and fifty-one participants will fight against each other at the sa ti until only one remained!”
“WHAAAAT!?”
Another huge uproar broke out, while those with hope a mont ago now truly lost all hope.
A battle where they had to fight not one, but everyone at the sa ti to survive… Their chance for survival, especially for those who were still on the Second Cultivation Stage now truly fell all the way down to zero…
“You can’t do this to us! We chose our participants because it was told it will be a one-on-one fight! If we knew this, we would have brought soone else who could have had a higher chance for survival in a free-for-all battle! This is unfair!”
Suddenly a man in his forties yelled up loudly, causing a lot of Cultivators in the hall to nod in agreent.
Master Adam hearing this tilted his indifferent gaze at the man and asked, “What was your na again?”
“Vyn Fern from Coldbreeze Acade-“
“I see, then you must be the type of Cultivator that cries whenever sothing unexpected happens. That’s why you will never be able to reach bigger heights in your cultivation because instead of thinking about how to solve your problems you instead decide to complain about your misfortune. Pathetic indeed…”
“What? That is bullish*t! I have never done such a shaless thing, I’m a Cultivator!”
“You just did. And what’s more, that is the real reason you stuck on the Fifth Cultivation Stage mare than 7 years so far. If I were you I would hide in sha!”
As Master Adam’s calm voice fell in the hall as though thunder descended, everyone froze up in a flash, their body trembling uncontrollably as they experienced a Ninth Stage Cultivator’s wrath for the very first ti.
Even though Master Adam didn’t seem angry, his voice clearly indicated it. That’s why, right now everyone knew one fact for sure; if they dared to do sothing reckless, their heads will be chopped off no question about that!
“I am awfully ashad of what I have just said! Please, think about my previous statents as a re joke!” exclaid Vyn in a trembling voice, even jumping onto his knees to show his sincere apology.
Before the strong, the weak could only bow their head and do as they were told!
Or at least that’s how it worked except for Logan who was still eating rrily in the corner and even showing a satisfied smile as he enjoyed the show before him.
When Khal, who stood next to Logan as a sculpture, noticed Master Adam’s gaze on them wanted to warn his Logan, but surprisingly he didn’t have to.
The very mont Master Adam looked at them the only thing he did was a simple frown and continued to ignore them.
“Well then, is there anyone who wishes to share any of their thoughts with us?” asked Master Adam, his question obviously holding great irony with a hint of irritation.
“No one? Perfect. Then, for the ti being, that’s all. The rest will be announced tomorrow morning here, exactly at 11 a.m! You can leave now!”
As his voice fell, Master Adam waved his hand and the doors on the opposite side opened, indicating that they can leave at once.
No one objected this ‘order’ of Master Adam’s at all and without daring to stay even a second more before him everyone hurried to leave.
Khal and Logan did the sa, however just as they were about to do so, Master Adam’s voice appeared from behind them, stopping them from leaving.
“I would have never thought the day will co when I see you again Logan. Or should I call you Asher instead?”
‘…’
Turning around, Logan glanced at Master Adam who happened to be a ter away from him, and after pondering for a while tilted his gaze at Khal, “You can go ahead, I will be right behind you.”
Khal didn’t know what was happening but still nodded and without asking any question turned around and left the hall, leaving Logan all alone with Master Adam and Madam Snow.
