Upon hearing Sima Chun’s words, Emperor Huang Wuji said with a smile, "Elder Sima is right, that is my son, Huang Yu, who is nineteen years old this year, and his current strength has already reached the Primal Spirit Realm.

As for the first level, he never told me, only saying that he wanted to give me a big surprise in today’s grand competition.

As the Emperor of the Mingyue Empire, I did not probe into his specific cultivation level."

After Emperor Huang Wuji finished speaking, Sima Chun said with a smile, "Not bad, if you send your son to our Demon Shadow Divine Sect, I dare say his future achievements will definitely be greater than yours."

"Yes, my fifth son has loved cultivation since he was a child, but he doesn’t care about matters of officialdom at all.

My Mingyue Empire will have to be handed over to my other children in the future.

To be frank, Elder Sima, none of my remaining children give me any hope; they are all obsessed with schemes and find cultivation tedious and uninteresting," Emperor Huang Wuji said.

Hearing Emperor Huang Wuji’s words, Sima Chun’s old eyes shifted, and he said, "As the Emperor of the Mingyue Empire, you can’t even control your own children.

How about this: after this competition ends, I will go and check their aptitudes for you.

If there are any suitable for cultivation in my sect, I can take them, but the premise is that your fifth son, Huang Yu, must join my Demon Shadow Divine Sect.

There are also such geniuses in other empires, but I only want those I deem good."

Upon hearing Sima Chun’s words, Emperor Huang Wuji fell into deep thought.

He actually didn’t want his son, Huang Yu, to join the Demon Shadow Divine Sect; he actually wanted Shangguan Nan, the Grand Elder of the Tianyu Divine Sect, to take notice of his Huang Yu.

However, up to now, Shangguan Nan, who was seated in the special guest area, still had his eyes slightly closed and had not opened them.

Although only three of the top sects came this time, Emperor Huang Wuji knew that the Tianyu Divine Sect was one of the four top sects in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Shangguan Nan’s strength had already reached the Yuandao Realm, and their Prime Ancestors was Yang Xiu, one of the four great Prime Ancestors.

As for the Shanhe Sect and the Demon Shadow Divine Sect, they were only slightly weaker compared to these four top sects.

Looking at the silent Shangguan Nan, a hint of disappointment flashed through Emperor Huang Wuji’s heart.

However, he could not directly refuse Sima Chun of the Demon Shadow Divine Sect.

So he said, "Elder Sima, please don’t rush.

I will seriously consider what you just said.

The grand competition has not ended yet, and I also very much want my son to go to your sect for experience, but this still requires my son’s consent; I cannot make decisions for him without his permission."

Upon hearing Emperor Huang Wuji’s words, Sima Chun also knew what the Emperor of the Mingyue Empire was thinking, but he did not expose it.

As for geniuses, Sima Chun could afford to wait, and besides, the competition had just begun.

"Alright, since you’ve said so, I’m not in a hurry.

Anyway, the competition hasn’t ended yet, and perhaps there are still some geniuses hidden that I haven’t discovered," Sima Chun of the Demon Shadow Divine Sect said with a smile.

After speaking, his eyes continued to look towards the competition arena.

When he saw the eleventh group, his eyes lit up.

He saw that in the eleventh group’s competition arena, Wanru’s sword exuded chilling coldness, and the massive sword momentum directly sent the lewd-looking man opposite flying.

"This little girl looks good.

Cultivating ice-element sword arts is very suitable for our Demon Shadow Divine Sect.

I almost missed her," Sima Chun murmured inwardly.

Compared to Huang Yu, their Demon Shadow Divine Sect preferred people with ice-element cultivation methods.

This was because their Demon Shadow Divine Sect’s cultivation methods were mainly inclined towards the cold and Cold.

Sima Chun’s eyes were fixed on Wanru’s direction, and what he didn’t know was that Shangguan Nan of the Tianyu Divine Sect was also secretly paying attention.

In the Eastern Martial Arts Field, twelve groups fiercely competed for the top three positions.

Wang Yufan’s group also competed for half a day, finally determining the five participants.

In the duel between Little Zhuge and Yang Jue, although Little Zhuge had a magical treasure protecting him and never actively attacked, Yang Jue’s second attack felt like hitting cotton.

Neither of them could defeat the other, and finally, the referee was helpless.

Originally, according to his thoughts, he should have directly ruled Little Zhuge lost, because he knew that Little Zhuge’s strength was only at the Divine Emperor Realm, and he was not Yang Jue’s opponent, who was at the Life and Death Realm.

However, according to the rules of this competition, such a stalemate should be ruled a draw.

He had already violated the referee’s rules once; if he violated them again, it was very likely that he would be discovered by the Mingyue Empire’s inspectors.

At that time, his position as a referee would definitely not be guaranteed.

Finally, the five people determined by strength were:

Wang Yufan, Little Zhuge, Yang Jue, Wu Mo, and Li Wang.

The referee directly arranged for Wang Yufan to fight Yang Jue, and Little Zhuge to fight Li Wang.

As for the remaining Wu Mo, he would wait for the first two groups to finish their matches and then fight the two who were defeated to determine the third place.

When Wang Yufan looked at the smiling Yang Jue, he said, "Are you so happy to fight me?

Aren’t you afraid I’ll beat your butt black and blue later?"

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Yang Jue snorted coldly and said, "You still want to beat my butt black and blue?

My cousin was brutally beaten by you without cause or reason when he registered yesterday.

Today, I will avenge my cousin."

"Oh, oh, oh, so you’re here for your cousin.

It seems your cousin didn’t tell you how I beat him," Wang Yufan said.

"I don’t care about any reason.

But you were the one who struck first, so you, Ni, must pay the price.

Take this!" After Yang Jue finished speaking, a long spear appeared in his hand, and he directly thrust it towards Wang Yufan.

At this instant, the air exploded.

Wang Yufan could feel that although Yang Jue’s strength was only at the late stage of the Life and Death Realm, his explosive power was even stronger than that of an average early-stage Life and Death Realm cultivator. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Such a person must have experienced some slaughter on the battlefield of life and death.

Wang Yufan knew that this person had a murderous aura.

But for him, it was still too weak.

If his strength had not recovered, facing such an opponent, it would still be a bit difficult if he didn’t use some of his trump cards.

But now, aside from a few strong opponents Wang Yufan particularly cared about, Wang Yufan felt that taking first place was not a concern.

Looking at the piercing spear tip, Feng Ling Sword also appeared in Wang Yufan’s hand.

The next moment, he directly used Chaotic Swordplay.

As for the secret techniques in the Taiqing Demon-Slaying Sword Canon, Wang Yufan was not in a hurry to use them yet.

Because Wang Yufan would only use the Taiqing Demon-Slaying Sword Canon when he encountered an opponent of similar strength to him; this was also his trump card.
