Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1512: Chapter 1515: Kill Dragon Forest: The Grand Event Begins

While Ling Xiao was meticulously cultivating, an exciting piece of news spread rapidly among the crowd heading to the Divine Phoenix Imperial City.

”The rules for the Dragon Phoenix selection have changed.”

”Changed? What happened?”

”Actually, it’s not a big change, mainly it’s about restricting the strength of the martial artists participating in the Dragon Phoenix selection. Previously, anyone above the Heavenly Man Realm and under thirty years old could join, but now, the minimum cultivation level has to be Third Cave Heaven Realm!”

”What! This is too sudden. Where are there so many experts in the Cave Heaven Realm under the age of thirty? They might as well not hold the event.”

”You don’t understand, ever since the Mountain and River Martial Soul emerged, the cultivation level of the younger generation has been increasing rapidly, far beyond the Dragon Phoenix selection organizers’ expectations. This time the rules were changed temporarily because there are too many people, and it wasn’t necessary for everyone to compete.”

”That makes some sense, but for us, it’s frustrating. We just broke through to the Cave Heaven Realm, thinking we could make a name in this selection, but it turned out like this.”

”Being not selected may not be a bad thing, because this Dragon Phoenix selection is preparation for participating in the White Tiger Summit on the White Tiger Continent. It’s said the Cave Heaven Realm martial artists there are equivalent to our Heavenly Realm martial artists, and with our cultivation level, we’d probably just be embarrassed.”

”Although unwilling, it seems to be the truth.”

...

Similar conversations occur sporadically throughout the Divine Phoenix Continent, leaving many martial artists feeling disappointed, but everyone actually guessed it.

Fortunately, the Dragon Phoenix selection allows spectators, so those martial artists who’ve traveled long distances won’t have come in vain.

Witnessing the most outstanding talents of the era is just as thrilling.

This news naturally reached Luo Feng City as well.

Ling Xiao was discussing with Feng Qingyan who to bring to the Dragon Phoenix selection. Originally, because there were too many people, they were troubled, but the rules made it easier.

Although the Heavenly Dynasty Empire is rich in talent, there are still not many who truly reach the Third Cave Heaven Realm or above.

Ling Xiao made a rough list, and found that the qualified individuals are actually only him, Joshua Long, Shangguan Hong, Leng Mei, Ji Mingkong, and the unparalleled genius Ling Luo sent by Heavenly Dragon Academy, along with military representatives Hua Fuguang and Hua Lueying, a total of eight people.

Lan Yu’er just broke through to the Second Cave Heaven Realm, definitely not good enough.

Yin Wu Ya, Dai Yaoling, and Dai Yuling only reached the First Cave Heaven Realm, not qualified either.

So these eight people are the final list.

After all, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire is just an emerging empire, and although there are many Cave Heaven Realm martial artists, most are over thirty.

Truly qualified are only these eight people.

It’s worth mentioning Ling Luo!

He is Ling Xiao’s brother!

Though not a biological brother, but a sworn brother when they were beggars together.

After all his relatives tragically died, only Ling Luo was left.

Ling Xiao has been busy with various things all this time, not having time to care for Ling Luo, but never forgetting about the various pills and cultivation technique secrets.

Because of this, Ling Luo’s originally unremarkable talent was forcibly enhanced by Ling Xiao with various spiritual elixirs.

Now his cultivation level has broken through to the Fourth Cave Heaven Realm, stronger than Lan Yu’er.

Now many envy Ling Luo, having such a good brother; otherwise, it would’ve been impossible to grow to this extent.

”Tomorrow we set off to the Divine Phoenix Imperial City!”

Having selected participants for the Dragon Phoenix selection, Ling Xiao began cultivating again.

And Blue Yu’er and others who missed the opportunity will also follow to the Divine Phoenix Imperial City to witness the grand event.

Indeed, such a selection is hard to come by again.

This is extremely special.

Many have similar thoughts.

Since a few days ago, a massive number of martial artists have been heading to the Divine Phoenix Imperial City early.

Although the capital is large, its capacity is still limited.

Hence, the royal family issued a command that the martial artists entering the capital must have a minimum cultivation level of Heavenly Realm Ninth Layer.

As a result, a multitude of martial artists were blocked outside.

Fortunately, the Mysterious World has its own special technology.

By leveraging the power of laws, projections of the selection site can be transmitted across the entire Divine Phoenix Continent, to all places capable of receiving the power of laws.

This way, while unable to watch on-site, the grand event won’t be missed.

The place hosting the Dragon Phoenix selection is ironically formerly visited by Ling Xiao—Dragon Forest.

Because it has a magic array barrier, no matter how fierce the battle is, it won’t impact the lives of ordinary city residents.

Moreover, the area is vast and can accommodate more spectators.

On the day the Dragon Phoenix selection begins, the Dragon Forest is surrounded by a dense crowd.

Luckily, they are all martial artists, having vision beyond ordinary people; otherwise, standing several miles away would be impossible to see anything.

Of course, some martial artists smartly take a magical treasure that can accept the law power projection, and hide in an inn, eating while watching the fun, which is also enjoyable.

At this time, a buzzing noise like flies comes from the chaotic crowd.

They are discussing, debating.

After all, for those unable to compete, debating which talents will emerge in the Dragon Phoenix selection is also participating.

Of course, only verbal debates, no fighting.

In the sky, Righteous Divine Guardians are responsible for vigilance. If anyone dares cause chaos below, they’re immediately expelled from the city.

These times show the prowess of Righteous Divine Guardians.

They are supposed to guard, not assist some emperor in killing other martial artists.

Time slowly passes, everyone anxiously awaits the night.

Waiting time is always excruciating; the official start time for Dragon Phoenix selection is seven in Mysterious World time.

This timing method is newly arisen, coming from the distant Divine Machine Continent.

Due to its convenience, it quickly replaced the original timing method of Divine Phoenix Empire.

It’s only three in the morning, but to secure better positions, people have waited here early.

Martial artists, possessing generally good energy, don’t mind it much, at worst sitting cross-legged in meditation for a while to recover.

However, a few hours of waiting remains lengthy.

The sun rises, nearing seven, even the voices of discussions suddenly lessen significantly, everyone’s eyes fix on one spot—

Dragon Forest!

It’s close, the long-awaited Dragon Phoenix selection is about to take place in the vast forest.

”Here they come!”

Suddenly someone shouts, in the distant sky, several figures journey together.

Some are flying through the air.

Some are riding flying birds.

The leader rides a completely black Phoenix-bird, eyes cold, aura fierce, anyone near him can feel the terrifying aura emanating from his body.

Upon arrival, they immediately took their seats.

That spot was adorned with a waving flag, inscribed with the four characters ”Phoenix God College.”
