Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 24: The Talent Scramble—They’re All Going Mad
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators stared blankly at the scene on the stage, all feeling awe-struck.
Even the elders of the great sects were breathing heavily, their eyes filled with incredulity and disbelief.
"Sword Intent, it’s Sword Intent!"
After a brief silence, it was followed by countless shocked exclamations.
The elders of the great sects were dumbfounded as they looked at the two figures standing at the edge of the stage, their expressions indescribable.
"Sword Intent, this young man actually comprehended Sword Intent!"
"Not just Sword Intent, it’s the second level of Sword Intent, he actually comprehended the second level of Sword Intent!"
For a time, all the elders of the great sects were greatly shaken.
Meanwhile, the hundreds of thousands of spectators below the stage were utterly dumbfounded.
The third prodigy of Star Moon City actually lost, lost to an unknown wastrel.
No, he’s not a wastrel; he’s an absolute genius, rare in hundreds of years.
Among the crowd.
Ye Wuyuan and the other members of the Ye Race watched this scene, all stunned, their expressions stiff, and a great wave arose in their hearts.
Ye Xiaotian was even more dazed, staring intently at Ye Xiaofan on the stage: "Sword Break, he also knows the Sword Break of the Sword Saint senior, how can this be, how can this be?"
It was obvious, the moment Ye Xiaofan used Sword Break, Ye Xiaotian recognized it.
Actually, by this point, he had already guessed something, but he didn’t want to believe it was true. That wastrel not only knew Sword Break but also cultivated Sword Intent, even the second level of Sword Intent.
And looking again at himself, Ye Xiaotian realized he had taken the wrong path from the start, struggling to comprehend Sword Qi, but ultimately could only release an inch of it. Compared to that, Ye Xiaotian felt like a clown.
On the east viewing platform.
Nangong Jianchen looked at the scene on the stage, and even though the battle had ended, the lingering Sword Intent on the stage was still overwhelming, terrifying beyond imagination. Even he, who was prepared, was dumbstruck by this sword.
Looking again at Shangguan Wan’Er, her beautiful face was also replaced by shock, no less than anyone else’s.
"Brother Xiao, I concede."
On the stage, Ye Xiaofan calmly looked at the utterly shocked Xiao Yan, and after speaking, he slowly sheathed his sword, slightly cupping his fists to the former.
Xiao Yan, until now, hadn’t recovered from that sword, still staring blankly at Ye Xiaofan, until a moment later, he forced a bitter smile: "I, Xiao, lost. Thank you, Brother Ye, for your mercy."
After speaking, Xiao Yan slowly turned around, walking off the stage with a lost soul. He had lost before, to Nangong Jianchen, and even Shangguan Wan’Er had beaten him once. But never had he lost so miserably as today. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Seeing this, everyone sighed, deeply aware that this battle had likely dealt a massive blow to Xiao Yan.
But before everyone could express their sentiments.
Xiao Yan, who was walking down the stage, suddenly looked back, his eyes still brimming with fighting spirit: "Brother Ye, three years, three years from now, shall we agree to fight again?"
Ye Xiaofan was taken aback by these words. This defeat, instead of breaking this absolute genius, seemed to have ignited his fighting spirit.
"Alright, three years from now, I’ll wait for you." Ye Xiaofan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Xiao Yan smiled heartily at the sound, regaining his confidence, and walked off the stage with great strides, as if he were the victor.
Not long after Xiao Yan left the stage, everyone finally snapped back to reality from the shock.
And one by one, authoritative elderly voices resonated throughout the Martial Arts Arena.
"Xiaofan, are you willing to join my Qinghe Sect? I promise you, as long as you’re willing to join Qinghe Sect, all the superior techniques of Qinghe Sect will be open to you."
"Child, our Yunlan Sect’s doors are also wide open for you. If you enter our sect, the sect’s resources will be tilted in your favor, and all cultivation technique manuals in the sect can be browsed by you. I will personally recommend famous teachers for you, with no need to pass the sect examination, you can directly enter as an Inner Sect Disciple."
"Hehe, why is Yunlan Sect being so petty? Child, come to my Li Yang Sect. I’m the Inner Sect Elder of Li Yang Sect’s Li Yang Peak and concurrently the Grand Elder. As long as you enter our peak sect, all the elixir formulas, killing arrays, artifact refining techniques, sect’s foundation techniques and martial arts, medicine fields, spirit veins, etc., are at your disposal."
"Hahaha, naturally, Divine Sword Sect is the most superior of all these. Child, Divine Sword Sect is definitely the sect you should choose. What they can offer you, my Divine Sword Sect can offer as well, and what they cannot, my Divine Sword Sect can still provide."
"Brother Mu, what are you saying? How can you claim Divine Sword Sect is the best choice? Does that mean Yunlan Sect isn’t good?"
"Hmph, my Li Yang Sect, being one of the top ten sects in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region, is no less than you two."
"Hehe, esteemed elders, the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region has more than just your three sects. Although my Lingyun Sect is a first-class sect, it’s also a major sect. In terms of the emergence of prodigies, we haven’t lost to any of your sects over the years."
"Old Ximu, since when has Lingyun Sect been eligible to be compared to the Divine Sect?"
"I don’t care, this child must be claimed by my Lingyun Sect. Your three sects already have three absolute geniuses, isn’t that enough?"
"Brother Ximu, are you intending to break ties with me?"
"So what if I am, old rascal? Others may fear your Li Yang Sect, but my Lingyun Sect does not. At worst, we’ll have a fight—it’s not like it hasn’t happened before. Child, come with me, and I guarantee you’ll sit on the seat of a Saint Heir candidate in Lingyun Sect."
After the Lingyun Sect Elder spoke, he immediately flew down, reaching out with a large hand towards Ye Xiaofan.
Previously, the sects only sent disciples to find Ye Xiaoyue, but now they couldn’t suppress their excitement and chose to step in personally.
Moreover, on the way down, in order to deter other sect elders, they even went so far as to strike out directly, delivering a powerful palm strike to intercept others outside.
Boom—!!!
A loud explosion echoed across the sky of the Martial Arts Arena. After a sect elder nullified this palm, he was utterly furious.
"Ximu, are you insane? Do you really want to force me into action?"
"Brother Ximu, you’ve gone too far!"
Upon seeing this, all the sect elders were anxious and angry, speaking out as they hurriedly flew forward, all hoping to reach him first.
Ye Xiaofan looked at the countless elderly figures shooting towards him, utterly bewildered, seriously doubting if he had overreached himself. Had he known, he would have been more conservative.
Meanwhile, on the east viewing platform, as Ye Xiaofan was shocked and flustered, Nangong Jianchen and Shangguan Wan’Er watched the scene, equally stupefied.
Not just the two of them, but when a large number of elderly figures moved, countless cultivators were also dumbfounded.
These sects went crazy. For the sake of one absolute genius, it’s as if they’re ready to fight at any moment, turning the competition into an outright talent-grabbing contest.
"How could this happen?"
Below the stage, the members of the Ye Race watching this scene simply couldn’t accept it.
The three Divine Sects and over a dozen first-class sects simultaneously vying, even not hesitating to tear each other apart—such a spectacle hasn’t been seen in Star Moon City for a thousand years.
