The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1462: Final Selection

As the morning sun rose over the horizon, the final selection officially began.

There were five to six hundred people from the Hall of War signed up for this last round!

At the very least, they were all late-stage Human Emperors. Anyone below that level would not even dare to show up. It would only lower the standard.

Of course, Ling Feng was an exception.

He was likely the strongest king-tier martial practitioner in history.

On the surface, his cultivation looked pitifully low. However, his mastery in both spiritual refinement and body refinement pushed his overall strength to a level comparable to an early-tier Great Emperor. A spot for the Hunting Battlefield was practically guaranteed for him.

This selection would determine the outcome of the Hunting Battlefield.

Because of that, whether it was Supreme Elder Xu or the other high-ranking elders, all of them paid close attention.

The Tempest Wind Hall Master and another Supreme Elder from the Hall of War personally presided over the event. That alone showed how seriously they took this selection.

Today, the so-called Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes, whose reputation had spread everywhere since Ling Feng first arrived, finally revealed themselves.

Almost all ten were present. Among them, only two were under fifty years old. Those two did not need to participate in the selection. They had already secured their spots.

No one objected. The Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes represented the face of the Hall of War. Those two would be the key figures in deciding victory or defeat in the Hunting Battlefield.

No matter how fiercely others fought, it would only be secondary.

At that moment, Xu Zhengfeng sat in the VIP seats, watching the selection from start to finish. His gaze would occasionally drift toward Ling Feng.

What Ling Feng had done during the earlier rounds, beating Great Emperor-level experts like they were nothing, had not escaped his notice.

"This kid is truly an unknown factor. His growth speed is simply unbelievable!"

Xu Zhengfeng lightly tapped the table with his finger. He clearly thought highly of Ling Feng.

As expected of someone valued by Saint Lady Hui Yue!

What a pity that she has already left. Otherwise, she would surely be pleased.

Of course, he had no idea that Saint Lady Hui Yue actually wished Ling Feng would disappear as soon as possible. If not for the fact that Ling Feng had saved her twice by sheer coincidence, she would have long since tried to expel him from the sect for being so unruly.

Soon, under the direction of the Tempest Wind Hall Master, the final selection proceeded in an orderly manner.

Since those who passed would represent the Hall of War in the Hunting Battlefield against barbarian geniuses, they did not use arena matches this time. That would only lead to unnecessary exhaustion among their own side.

Instead, the final selection used a special artifact that could simulate a battle space.

Once a participant entered the artifact, their consciousness would be placed into a mental battlefield where they faced a projection of an early-tier Great Emperor with only thirty percent of its power.

The judging standard was simple. The one hundred participants who could last the longest against that projection would earn a spot in the Hunting Battlefield.

Because everything took place within a mental simulation, participants would only feel some fatigue at most. They would not suffer real injuries. It was quite a thoughtful arrangement.

The test began quickly.

One by one, the qualified disciples entered the artifact space. Inside the mental world, a vague figure would appear. That figure was a suppressed early-tier Great Emperor.

Everyone faced the same level of opponent. There was no unfair advantage.

The first participant entered and lasted less than three breaths before being expelled. That result all but guaranteed elimination.

One after another, the tests continued smoothly. Most could not last more than ten breaths. Only those who exceeded thirty breaths began to draw attention from the elders.

Of course, some participants already possessed Great Emperor-level strength. They were not judged by time. If they defeated the projection, they automatically qualified.

Soon, it was Ling Feng's turn.

For him, this test was nothing.

With a single punch, he shattered the Great Emperor projection and calmly walked out of the artifact space.

"Tsk tsk..."

"Is he really just at the Spiritual Sea Realm?"

Voices of amazement spread around him. Many had heard rumors about Ling Feng, but only a few had seen it with their own eyes.

Now that everyone was being tested together, most struggled greatly. Yet Ling Feng finished faster than even some true Great Emperor-level experts.

The difference was simply ridiculous!

On the high platform.

Xu Zhengfeng nodded slightly. "This kid is truly extraordinary. I even have a feeling that he might be the key to the final outcome of the Hunting Battlefield."

"Supreme Elder Xu, that sounds a bit exaggerated."

Beside him sat an elderly woman of similar seniority, another Supreme Elder stationed at the Hall of War.

"It is only a feeling."

Xu Zhengfeng chuckled and glanced toward the seating area of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes, then shook his head with a faint smile.

Ling Feng was indeed strong, but compared to those figures, he was still far behind.

Ling Feng himself had no idea he had already become the focus of discussion among the top elders. After finishing the test, he felt no fatigue at all.

For him, this assessment was far too easy.

Next, Chu Tiange entered the artifact space. He managed to last for an entire cup of tea's time before being expelled.

After receiving guidance from Ling Feng earlier, he had regained his confidence. Even against a Great Emperor projection, he did not hesitate. That was why he could last so long.

Although it was not on the level of true Great Emperor experts, it was more than enough to secure a spot in the Hunting Battlefield.

Time passed swiftly.

Feng Ling lasted fifty breaths and successfully qualified. Li Fei fell just short and did not make it into the top hundred.

Still, reaching this stage was already an achievement for her.

What surprised Ling Feng was that Fairy Qingping also took part in the test. Her strength was even greater than Chu Tiange's, so she easily secured a spot as well.

After all the tests concluded, Xu Zhengfeng stood up from the high platform and spoke in a clear voice:

"First, congratulations to all of you elite disciples. You will represent the honor of the Hall of War and face the barbarian geniuses in the Hunting Battlefield in a battle of life and death."

"This battle allows only victory, not defeat!"

"And you will be the heroes of the Hall of War!"
