Eager cultivators lunged towards eachother as soon as they heard the third beating of the Spirit drums. Blood splattered as the weak ones imdiately got suppressed by the strong opponents.
"Many of you have never killed a person but here, you have to strike. You need to eliminate others in order to survive in such situations", Lu Tai Cang spoke.
The Lu clan cultivators nodded their heads and focused their eyes on the battle below. Li Shu, Kai Min, Li Yan and Zhan Qingyue were also very attentive as they observed the battle situation on the five platforms.
On the contrary, Zhan Chen was busy in teasing Lu Mingxi. At present, he was observing her assets blatantly infront of everyone of the Lu clan.
"Shaless!", Lu Mingxi blushed as she turned her head to look if anyone was observing such an embarassing situation. Lu Tai Cang pretended as if he had not seen anything and focused his eyes on the five battle platforms like other mbers of the Lu family.
If it was anyone else, Lu Mingxi would have stabbed him already with her sword. But for so reason, she didn't feel animosity towards Zhan Chen for gawking at her. Instead, she was feeling shy for so reason which was strange emotion for a resolute woman like her.
She didn't know that, Zhan Chen had a mysterious technique like the Soul seed technique. He didn't have to do much yet he would enter the heart and mind of a girl on whom the Soul seed technique was used.
The more the girl interacted with him, the more she would fall for him. Finally, she couldn't do away with Zhan Chen no matter how much she tried.
Zhan Chen was confident that he could make Lu Mingxi his woman without using Soul seed technique but pursuing a woman would take ti. So, he used soul seed technique on her to she whether she had a favourable impression on him or not.
If a woman didn't have favourable impression towards him, she would easily negate the effect of Soul seed technique but if she had slightly favourable impression towards Zhan Chen, then the technique would be irresistible for her.
"Zhan Chen, don't you want to watch the battle?", Lu Mingxi asked shyly. Zhan Chen very much wanted to give a kiss on her charming face but he controlled her impulse forcefully.
"I shouldn't tease her anymore. Otherwise, it will be hard to calm my impulse", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
"Lady Mingxi, how far do you think I will go on this competetion?", he asked to Lu Mingxi.
"You will definitely perform good. I think you will be easily in the top ten of the first round", Lu Mingxi replied.
"Can't I beco the first?", Zhan Chen looked at her.
"It will be hard for you. There are few cultivators who are at Core condensation realm like you", Lu Mingxi replied.
Lu Tai Cang wanted to smack Zhan Chen from the side because he was tricking Lu Mingxi taking advantage of her ignorance. But he was helpless himself as he didn't know what to do with Zhan Chen.
A crafty smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after he heard Lu Mingxi's reply. "What if I beco first? We can make a bet about it", Zhan Chen spoke.
"A bet?", Lu Mingxi asked Zhan Chen with surprise in her eyes.
"What is the condition?", she asked curiously.
"If I lose, I will present a sixth grade spirit ingredient for you but if you lose, I need a favour from you", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Mingxi, don't agree to his conditions. Most probably, he will defeat all of his opponents in this competetion", Lu Tai Cang spoke from the side.
Zhan Chen only smiled in response as he waited for Lu Mingxi 's reply. "I agree", Lu Mingxi declared after slight hesitation as she didn't want to refuse Zhan Chen for such a simple request.
She threw an apologetic look towards Lu Tai Cang before looking at Zhan Chen. Lu Tai Cang felt frustrated for a mont and chose to ignore Zhan Chen and Lu Mingxi.
Zhan Chen talked with Lu Mingxi for so more ti. Then, together with her, he chose to look at the ongoing battles.
It had been a while since the battles on the five rock platforms had started. There were only few cultivators left on the five rock platforms when Zhan Chen chose to take a look at them.
'The weakest one among them is a middle stage True essence realm cultivator. Rest are at late True essence realm. I wonder what will happen to this girl if she competes alone', Zhan Chen thought to himself as he took a look at Li Yan.
The battle entered into its most crucial phase as few people remained on the stone platform. The truly talented ones started to show their uniqueness as they show their battle prowcess infront of the crowd.
The most eye catching cultivator among the five stone platforms was a young man who was welding a long spear. He was brandishing his spear valiantly and most of his opponents were finding him difficult to handle.
Another cultivator who was attracting the crowd's attention was a whip wielding little beauty. Her attacks were unpredictable and she was using a swift movent technique to complent her unpredictability.
"She is a Core condensation realm cultivator", Zhan Chen softly comnted.
"How can you tell?", Lu Mingxi asked with curiousity in her eyes. She was also a top expert but she couldn't notice anything where she could tell that the whip wielding girl was a Core condensation realm cultivator.
"She is concealing her cultivation but she can't hide it for long", Zhan Chen replied.
The Lu clan young cultivators also heard Zhan Chen's conversation with Lu Mingxi. They focused their eyes on the girl who was wielding a whip in her hand.
They didn't have to wait long as the girl was attacked by a sword wielding young man. The young man used so good sword techniques and troubled the little beauty who was wielding a whip in her hand.
The little beauty tried to maintain her distance using movent technique but by coincidence the young man with the sword was also extrely swift. He kept attacking the girl and finally thrusted his sword towards the neck of the girl when he found an opening.
It looked like an unavoidable attack to the crowd but the girl burst out with hidden strength. She moved backyard barely and launched a whip attack towards the young man.
This attack of her was more swift and deadly than her previous attacks. The young man quickly fell into a defensive position and finally backed away to avoid the swift attacks of the girl.
"She is a Core condensation realm cultivator!", collective gasps ca from the crowd as they moved their eyes towards the whip wielding girl. She seed younger than eighteen but she had managed to reach Core condensation realm at her tender age.
Fervent looks appeared on various sect representatives as they looked at the girl with posessive look on their faces. They only wanted the first round to end sohow. So that, they could hurry over to lure the girl into their sects.
Finding so good talents for their respective powers was the main purpose of many sect's elders to attend the first round of grand sect competition. A late true essence realm cultivator at eighteen years age was an ideal candidate for every sect but whom they really wanted to recruit were those at the peak stage of True essence realm.
As for those young cultivators who sohow managed to step into the Core condensation realm, they were like valuable treasures for every power in the Northern desert continent. Every sect fought over them jealously as such cultivators had a chance to reach the fabled Emperor realm in future.
