The black puppet at the Heavenly Divine Venerable level originally possessed combat power equivalent to that of a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable. However, when its entire body was consud by fiercely burning black flas, its combat power instantly rose to the level of a Mid-tier Heavenly Divine Venerable.
Even more terrifying was that the black flas seed to enhance its speed significantly.
In an almost instantaneous flash, the black puppet appeared right before the opposing martial artist. Its fiery hands reached out, blazing with intense flas, for the martial artist.
The martial artist, whose entire body was covered in scales, was originally quite formidable, possessing the power of a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable. However, against the black puppet, whose combat power surged so dramatically, he quickly fell to a disadvantage.
The scaled martial artist hastily raised his hands to block with two fish-shaped treasures gleaming with icy brilliance.
But the black flas on the puppet's hands instantly spread onto the fish-shaped treasures.
Then, a shocking event occurred.
The fish-shaped treasures, clearly of a High-grade Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact level, were burned into nothingness by the black flas in re monts!
This sight caused the scaled martial artist to truly lose his composure and panic in both mind and spirit.
He staggered backward in desperation, retreating a few steps, but the black puppet imdiately lunged forward again with a claw-like grasp, catching the martial artist entirely in its hands and spinning him around fiercely.
The martial artist was flung dozens of ters away, crashing heavily onto the ground outside of the combat circle, resulting in his failure in the recruitnt selection battle.
Even after his defeat, the scaled martial artist remained covered in the black flas.
The fire seed to spread further, threatening to consu him completely and reduce him to ashes in an instant. A yellow-robed elder—a recruiter—flashed to the martial artist's side, extending his large hand which erupted with green flas. With a gentle sweep, the black flas on the martial artist were completely extinguished.
"I've lost!"
"The 'Ten Thousand Spirits dicine Pavilion,' under the dominance of the Nine Flas Clan among the five Supre Clans, is indeed formidable!"
After his defeat, the scaled martial artist stood dazed in lingering fear for a while before finally rising and clasping his fists toward the yellow-robed elder, speaking loudly.
A wave of chatter instantly broke out among the crowd.
"This puppet was definitely refined by a master from the Nine Flas Clan. The flas on its body must surely be one of the divine flas cultivated by them!"
"Without the power of a Mid-tier Heavenly Divine Venerable, there's no way to defeat it!"
Amid the discussion, many Divine Kings and Lower Heavenly Divine Venerables displayed signs of hesitation and trepidation.
Only the Immortal Divine Venerables and Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables managed to remain composed.
anwhile, Ye Chen, who had been watching the battle closely, focused on the black flas enveloping the puppet and the green flas unleashed by the yellow-robed elder. His mind stirred: "Hmm, these two kinds of flas are truly peculiar. They feel so different from my natural-born Blue Extre Icefla, as if they were cultivated artificially."
"Could it be that the Nine Flas Clan has the ability to cultivate countless divine flas after birth?"
"Artificially cultivated flas, with such power? It rivals even so Top-grade Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifacts!"
Ye Chen grew increasingly intrigued by the Nine Flas Clan, the second-ranked advanced Spirit Clan in the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.
The recruitnt trials continued.
Among the tens of thousands of martial artists present, many were deterred by the black puppet's sheer power, but there were still plenty willing to take up the challenge.
The second challenger was a slender young girl.
She possessed the combat strength of a Mid-tier Heavenly Divine Venerable, equivalent to that of the black puppet.
As soon as she engaged in battle with the black puppet, a sudden transformation occurred—she morphed into a miraculous white mink-like divine beast.
Even more astonishing was that this small white mink had a pair of white wings on its back.
Ye Chen had never seen a divine beast of such form!
What amazed Ye Chen even further was that, despite the black flas enhancing the puppet's speed to a phenonal level, this winged mink's speed, once transford, exceeded that of the black puppet. It sped through the combat circle like a streak of white lightning.
The black puppet could not even approach the transford young girl by a fraction.
During the rapid pursuit and flashing movents, the "white mink-like divine beast" opened its mouth and spat out a golden, glowing sword.
The sword struck repeatedly with sharp buzzes, slicing the black puppet into fragnts in re monts.
From her initial strike to her ultimate victory over the black puppet, the young girl completed everything in less than three breaths.
After leaping out of the combat circle, the girl reverted to her human form.
She gave the yellow-robed elder a gentle smile and said, "Senior, have I passed the recruitnt selection's initial stage?"
The yellow-robed elder smiled as he nodded: "The Wind Feather Mink tribe lives up to their reputation for extraordinary speed. The life-bound magic treasure you've refined is equally impressive."
"Since you've defeated my black fla puppet, you're certainly qualified to pass the preliminary selection."
The yellow-robed elder gestured for her to step into the victor's area beside him.
"So she's from the Wind Feather Mink tribe!"
"The Wind Feather Mink tribe may not rank amidst the five Supre Clans, but they are undoubtedly one of the High-tier races within the True Spirit Divine Kingdom's countless species."
"I bet she hasn't even revealed all her innate divine abilities yet!"
The crowd burst into spirited discussion.
Ye Chen, too, mused inwardly: "True Spirit Divine Kingdom indeed surpasses Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation in terms of strength, with not only countless elites but also endless varieties of miraculous True Spirit Sacred Beast clans."
"My journey through the True Spirit Divine Kingdom promises to be an eye-opening experience."
And indeed, it was thrilling and eye-opening.
As the recruitnt challenges continued, one challenger after another entered the fray.
Though many suffered defeat, a significant number succeeded in clearing the preliminary selection stage.
Throughout the battles, Ye Chen witnessed firsthand the stunning transformations and unique divine abilities of True Spirit Sacred Beast clans across the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.
Of course, not all challengers hailed from the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.
Quite a few, like Ye Chen, had traveled from other divine kingdoms to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom's capital city.
Many of these challengers also excelled, successfully passing the recruitnt trials.
However, most of the warriors from other kingdoms were Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables or Immortal Divine Venerables. Few, like Ye Chen, ca as Divine Kings to venture into the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.
If Divine Kings did arrive, it was often under the guidance of powerful elders, and ultimately, most would face defeat in the recruitnt selection.
This outco was hardly surprising.
After all, crossing between divine kingdoms, whether through Star Seal teleportation or by traversing vast star domains, was typically achievable only by warriors of imnse power.
Weaker martial artists usually depended on senior guardians.
Given such circumstances, their lack of adequate strength was understandable.
As the recruitnt tests progressed steadily, it was finally Ye Chen's turn to enter the battle arena.
