Chapter 873: Chapter 873: So This Is His Talent
Just as Lin Wei was about to respond, suddenly, a stern voice interrupted: "Nonsense!"
The Elder in charge of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion examination, Zhang Jingzhi, approached with a stern face and rebuked Yang Xiaotian and Lin Wei, "Desolate City rules state that private duels are forbidden!"
"If you dare to engage in a private duel, not only will you be disqualified from participating in the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion examination, but you will also be punished by the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion!"
"Are you intending to disregard the rules of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion?!"
Yang Xiaotian frowned.
Lin Wei was also silent.
Zhang Jingzhi, with a stern face, said to Yang Xiaotian, "Yang Xiaotian, don’t think that just because you have killed Lin Jiu and Chen Kui, both of the Fifth Layer of Divine Master in the Secret Realm, that you are invincible! A Divine Master of the First Layer daring to challenge a Divine King of the Fourfold!"
"Utterly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Step back now!"
Yang Xiaotian faced the reprimand of Elder Zhang Jingzhi with a calm expression, "The Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion doesn’t seem to have a rule that says a Divine Master of the First Layer cannot challenge a Divine King of the Fourfold, does it?"
Zhang Jingzhi was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yang Xiaotian to "talk back."
He stared at Yang Xiaotian and said, "Fine, you want to challenge Lin Wei, right? Wait until you pass the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion examination and become a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion then speak."
"The Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion has a rule that the top Outer Sect Disciple of each session is eligible to challenge an Inner Sect Disciple!"
"If you want to challenge Lin Wei, you may! Once you become an Outer Sect Disciple, and after two years become the top in the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion Outer Sect Disciple competition, then challenge Lin Wei!"
"Two years later, if you cannot even secure the top position in the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion Outer Sect Disciple competition, you do not even have the qualifications to challenge Lin Wei!"
"Step back now!"
Yang Xiaotian’s expression darkened as he stared at Lin Wei, "Fine, once I become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion and take the top position in two years, then I will challenge you!"
Lin Wei looked at Yang Xiaotian with cold eyes, "I hope you won’t make me wait too long."
"Rest assured." Yang Xiaotian’s face was calm as he turned and left, "In two years, I will sever your head and feed it to the dogs!"
Lin Wei’s eyes burst with terrifying killing intent, unable to contain his anger, "Yang Xiaotian, in two years, I will make your life worse than death!" After speaking, he too led the group away.
Elder Zhang Jingzhi watched Yang Xiaotian and Lin Wei depart and let out a sigh of relief. He had just obeyed his mansion master’s order to quickly intervene.
Neither Yang Xiaotian nor Lin Wei were someone the mansion master wanted to see engage in a deadly battle.
Perhaps, his mansion master had him intervene as a way to indirectly protect Yang Xiaotian. After all, Yang Xiaotian, a Divine Master of the First Layer taking on Lin Wei, a Divine King of the Fourfold, was tantamount to seeking death.
Such a talent, possessing a Defying Heaven Divine Body and remarkable Sword Dao Talent, would be a tremendous waste if killed by Lin Wei.
Inside the Inner Hall, the Giant Ape Ancestor Bai Liu watched Yang Xiaotian departing and commented, "This Yang Xiaotian, a Divine Master of the First Layer, wants to challenge Lin Wei, a Divine King of the Fourfold! He truly knows not the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The Ancestor of the Shocking Heaven Sword Sect, Wu Yin, shook his head and smiled, then said to the Ancestor, "Yang Xiaotian claims he will claim the first place in the Outer Sect Disciple competition in two years, what do you all think?"
The Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion holds a competition for Outer Sect Disciples every ten years, and two years from now will be the next session.
At that time, almost all the participants in the Outer Sect Disciple competition will be Divine Masters of Ten Layers or more, many of whom are at the peak of the late stage of the Tenth Layer.
Yang Xiaotian is only a Divine Master of the First Layer now.
The Giant Ape Ancestor Bai Liu laughed, "Do you think Yang Xiaotian can win the first place in the Outer Sect Disciple competition? I certainly don’t believe this fellow can take the first place!"
To become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, one must be a talent with astonishing battle power.
Yang Xiaotian wanted to defeat those disciples at the peak of the Divine Master Ten Layers Realm with just a Divine Master First Layer Realm, an impossible feat.
"Even if Yang Xiaotian possesses two Defying Heaven Divine Bodies, it’s impossible for him to become the number one Outer Sect Disciple!" Ancestral Wu Yin of the Shocking Heaven Sword Sect shook his head.
However, Sovereign Zhao Ming of the Pale Blood laughed and said, "Who knows, this little guy might actually possess two types of Defying Heaven Divine Bodies."
The crowd was astonished.
Bai Liu and Wu Yin secretly shook their heads. Was that even possible?
Having one Defying Heaven Divine Body was already unique in the Divine Domain; they did not believe that Yang Xiaotian could possess two.
Nevertheless, even if Yang Xiaotian had two Defying Heaven Divine Bodies, it was still impossible for him to become the top Outer Sect Disciple.
After all, the gap between the early stage of Divine Master First Layer and the peak of Divine Master Ten Layers was almost ten minor realms.
Night fell.
The entire Desolate City was still abuzz, everyone discussing the results of today’s first round of assessments.
Of course, the most talked-about were Yang Xiaotian and Lin Wei.
Inside the mansion of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, Huang Yan murmured, "Primordial Universe Divine Body, the five top Sword Domains! So, this is his talent!"
Previously, the power emanating from Yang Xiaotian’s body had agitated her Godhood, making her curious about his talent; now she finally knew what Yang Xiaotian’s talents were.
"Who would have thought, this little guy actually cultivated a Defying Heaven Divine Body and also mastered the five top Sword Domains!" Elder Shi exclaimed, "With just Divine Master First Layer, to have the five top Sword Domains! Such Sword Dao Talent is truly unique in all of eternity!"
"It’s just that I don’t know what his Godhood is."
Huang Yan’s face was filled with anticipation; she was even more eager to know Yang Xiaotian’s Godhood, feeling that the power stirring her Godhood came from his Godhood.
Meanwhile, inside the Dongfang Family mansion, Yang Xiaotian inquired about his Master Hong Feng’s condition from Dongfang Ao. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Hong Feng has been missing since he came out of the Secret Realm," Dongfang Ao shook his head and said, "But Brother Yang, don’t worry, although Hong Feng is seriously injured, he should be fine. It’s said that he has cultivated the Green Emperor’s Divine Body!"
The Green Emperor’s Divine Body might not be comparable to the Eternal Divine Body, but its healing power was extremely strong.
Yang Xiaotian nodded upon hearing this.
"Brother Yang, Lin Wei’s Chaos Godhood is extremely powerful and invincible; be careful of Lin Wei," Dongfang Ao thought for a moment, then still decided to warn Yang Xiaotian.
"Okay, I got it," Yang Xiaotian said, knowing the other was well-meaning.
A night passed uneventfully.
The next day, Yang Xiaotian and Dongfang Ao among others returned to the assessment square for the second round of assessments.
Upon reaching the assessment square, Yang Xiaotian started searching for Hong Feng among the crowd, finally spotting him in a corner of the square.
Seeing that Hong Feng had come for the second round of the assessment, Yang Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Feng also noticed Yang Xiaotian’s gaze and looked back at him; Hong Feng’s eyes were full of puzzlement, sensing a familiar power from Yang Xiaotian.
"Today’s second round of the assessment is simple; the disciples participating in the second round will enter the assessment platform, and everyone is free to strike. Those who fall outside the platform will have failed the assessment."
"The last thousand people remaining on both the Outer and Inner Gate platforms will successfully become Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion."
That is, today’s second round of assessment would be a massive brawl.
Upon learning that today was a free-for-all, Lin Wei glanced at Hong Feng and coldly smiled; today on the platform, he was determined to deal with Hong Feng!
