The rules are simple.
Each country and clan will put forth thirty competitors for a random draw.
Participants from the same country and clan won''t face each other to avoid internal conflicts, and the one standing at the end will be the winner of this competition.
The rules are fair, and no one has objections. Whether one can win depends on their own strength, as this setup helps to avoid fratricide.
"Let the competition begin!"
The competitors hand over their roster to Dawu and the competition commences.
All eyes first focus on the preliminary battles.
Ten battles on ten battlefields are held concurrently, and this time, at least dozens of forces from Dawu have gathered together.
In the first battle of the first round, no prodigies of Dawu were selected. However, a representative each from Tianhong Clan and Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty took the stage.
The talents of the Celestial Gods are indeed formidable. Although their opponents were powerful six-star talents that rival the Xuanzun Dynasty, carefully handpicked, they were defeated within a few moves when facing talents from the Celestial God''s clan.
In the second round draw, a prodigy from Dawu was selected.
This person was called Zeng Shan. At the tender age of nineteen, under the cultivation of Dawu, he had already reached the God Position. He is one of the top ten selected under the age of twenty in the six domains of Dawu.
In reality, the three levels of cultivation corresponding to this competition are God Position, Connecting to God, and Illusionary God.
Zeng Shan appeared as sturdy as a bull, emitting a wild aura. Since young, he was extremely strong and tough-skinned. Influenced by the human Tao River, he surprisingly manifested a special physique called "Primitive Saint Body".
"Primitive Saint Body."
Chu Yuan looked towards Zeng Shan.
Ever since he learned of the numerous special physiques in Dawu, he had already formed a plan in his heart: to dispatch officials from the Household Department to conduct a census and report the special physiques in the country.
He wanted to do a good screening.
"The opponent in Dawu''s battle is a prodigy from Tianhong Clan."
"Despite Tianhong Clan being a powerful Celestial God clan, the quality of their prodigies is undoubtedly a notch higher than those from the six-star forces. Only a few individuals with extraordinarily transcendent abilities can compare with them."
"Let''s watch and see how formidable Dawu''s main force can be!"
Everyone is eagerly anticipating.
They see a young man in golden attire from Tianhong Clan stepping onto the battlefield.
People naturally strive for greater heights, and talents tend to gather in stronger forces, rarely stooping to weaker ones.
Better to be a chicken''s head than a phoenix''s tail—this saying refers to the mediocre.
"Dawu''s prodigy!"
Jing Wei was their fully nurtured genius during her time in Yan Yue Clan, and now that she has received Dawu''s training, she has made leaps and bounds.
Her opponent was from the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, who immediately unleashed a forbidden technique upon seeing Jing Wei.
He was instructed by Teng Sen, whenever he meets someone from Dawu, to immediately use the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty''s forbidden technique. Afterwards, the clan would compensate for his loss.
There was no other way, Dawu was in high spirits, and up till now, no one could stop their continuous victories. Tianhong Clan and Demon Abyss Clan were like stepping stones for them, being tread upon by Dawu for them to rise to the top, expanding their fame.
The Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty naturally wouldn''t be willing.
This person unleashed the forbidden technique and rushed towards Jing Wei, demonstrating a ruthlessly barbaric style of fighting, where blood is repaid with blood, and teeth with teeth.
However, Jing Wei executed a set of Yan Yue swordsmanship, which was extremely ethereal and elegant. Her gaze turned towards the Martial Emperor on the throne, admiration displayed in her eyes.
"This Jing Wei is not bad, she''s worth nurturing." Chu Yuan agreed.
He saw that although Jing Wei faced the Demon Abyss genius''s brutal and storm-like offensive, she remained composed from beginning to end, continuously dodging and weaving. In the end, with one slash, she cut through the Demon Abyss genius from abdomen to chest, as if slicing him open.
Without a doubt, the genius of the Demon Abyss was defeated.
Gongsun Hong and Teng Sen had dark faces.
At this moment, they had a sense of commiseration.
Originally, they were confident that with their clan''s strength, dealing with Dawu would be a sure catch. However, reality had taught them severely. Their people, when encountering Dawu''s geniuses, consistently lost, and were no match for them at all.
What kind of method did Dawu use to train their geniuses to be so formidable?
They couldn''t figure it out
But Chu Yuan knew. Resources were only one part of it. The most significant gap was that they didn''t have the River of Human Dao.
The River of Human Dao was key to widening the gap between them.
Plus, as Dawu''s national power continues to increase, the River of Human Dao becomes more powerful, and sooner or later it would, like the Origin River of the Ice Dao, transform into an Origin River spanning infinitely through the cosmos!
Think about it, how terrifying would it be for the people of a country to be immersed in an Origin River, and moreover, a river most suited for humans!
"Dawu!"
"Dawu!"
"Dawu!"
The Imperial City was seething. The first round of the minor competition ended quickly. The formation transmitted the scene of the battle clearly. Dawu, with its overwhelming strength, defeated all the geniuses and seized first place!
Cheers were heard everywhere!
The excited citizens were everywhere!
Countless citizens saw their own geniuses proudly standing on the stage, as if they themselves were standing there, filled with pride and honor! Read new chapters at empire
