C48 Selection

It was already late autumn, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

Early in the morning, many people from the Huaining City arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Today was the day of the selection that happened once every three years. If one was lucky enough to make it out of the encirclement and enter the top five, they would have the chance to obtain the favor of the Guiyuan Sect, and step onto a cultivation path that could change their own fate.

Just like in previous years, there were a total of eight families that were participating in this selection. Besides the Wu, Ji, and Li Family, the three families could also send eight disciples, and the other five families with Lin Family would also be able to send five disciples to participate in this selection.

The most outstanding youths out of the forty-nine Huaining City, all stood behind their respective seniors, bowing to a middle-aged man dressed in purple. This middle-aged man was the deacon for the Guiyuan Sect selection.

To his left were three extraordinary youths. They were the ones Lin Xiu had seen on the street before.

And on the deacon's right stood the most powerful person in the Huaining City, City Lord. However, City Lord, who kept his word within the city, was now carefully standing by the deacon's side, putting on an extremely low airs.

Raising his eyelids, he lazily sized up the youngsters in front of him. When he realized that there weren't any particularly outstanding seedlings, the deacon gave a stiff "Mmm" in response to everyone's flattery.

To him, every year, tens of attendants would come to places like Huaining City to select disciples. These little fellows, who could be considered geniuses in his own city, would disappear very quickly after they gathered at the Guiyuan Sect.

Every year, hundreds of disciples enter the Guiyuan Sect, but there are only a few that have actually passed the sect test and become inner sect disciples. The other hundreds of "geniuses" can only be considered outer sect disciples.

And the credit of these deacons came from the talent of the selected disciples. For Deacon Lau, who hadn't had an inner disciple under him for many years, he didn't have much hope for the youths in front of him.

Accompanied by the Patriarch of the Huaining City and many clan leaders, Deacon Lau directly sat down at the main seats in the spectator stands. The three youths from the three great clans were also allowed to sit by the side.

At this time, the master of the Huaining City stood up from his seat, a vigorous Origin Energy sweeping through the entire crowd as he began to read out the rules for the tournament.

Just like in previous years, the rules of the selection were very simple. The first round was a contest between all the youths on the same stage. In the end, the ten youths who remained on the stage were able to successfully advance to the second round.

In the second round, the 10 youths used the method of drawing lots to fight two or two matches. The five youths that won had 1 point, and the five that lost didn't have any points.

But that did not mean those who failed would not have another chance. Every single one of them had two chances to challenge. If they could defeat the other five young men, then they could take away their points.

After the challenge, the five youths with the highest score would be considered outer mountain disciples of Guiyuan Sect. Deacon Lau would bring them directly to the capital of the Qian Yuan Empire to compete against the geniuses from all over the country.

After introducing the rules of the selection, the Master of Huaining City waved his hand, indicating that the youths participating in the selection can enter the stage.

"Lin Xiu, the five of us will stand together later." Lin Xiu, the five of us will stand together later. The moment he stepped onto the stage, Lin Feng lowered his voice and said to Lin Xiu beside him.

Lin Xiu naturally had no objections. The more Lin Family s that could enter the Guiyuan Sect, the happier he would be, and this was only the first round.

After the Lin Family's five juniors stood at a position slightly north of the competition arena, they realized that the methods of the other families were no different from theirs.

Everyone was staring at him warily. Some of the weaker youths even began to sweat from their heads.

The moment the City Lord of Huaining City announced the start of the selection, the aura of the youth in the arena suddenly exploded forth!

"I'm not seeing things am I? There are actually twelve Bone Quenching Stage s!" There was no lack of observant people in the audience. After seeing the soaring momentum, they quickly determined the strength of the opponents.

"Eh? Look, there are actually three Bone Quenching Stage s over there! Damn, when did they become stronger than the three great families? " A middle-aged man dressed in yellow could not help but speak up as well.

And on the high platform, the faces of the Patriarchs of the many families who were quietly sitting within the Huaining City, were somewhat unsightly.

Who would have thought that the Lin Family would actually be able to cultivate so many outstanding disciples without any change in their expressions!

On the high platform, Lin Wentian stroked his snow-white beard in gratification. While he was modest, he couldn't conceal the pride in his eyes.

Long two days ago, Lin Feng had already successfully broken through the barrier and attained Bone Quenching Stage.

For a time, the limelight from the Lin Family had even surpassed the three great families who were originally flourishing, but what they didn't know was that the trump card of the Lin Family was still Lin Xiu, a youth who was only at the peak of the Blood Refining Stage!

In the eyes of the big figures on the stage, their offense was still somewhat crude, and the use of martial skills was not as smooth as they thought. The battles between the younger generation below, they did not care, what they cared about was who would stand out in the end, become the Guiyuan Sect's disciple, and bring honor to their entire clan.

Other than Lin Family, the most eye-catching people were the younger generation of the three great families. After they discovered that Lin Family was a tough nut to crack, they temporarily extended their claws and fangs to the weaker clan disciples.

Under their cooperation, some opponents whose strength had yet to reach the Bone Quenching Stage quickly surrendered.

In just a short period of time, less than half of the people present had died.

There were even two Bone Quenching Stage experts who were unlucky, and with the cooperation of the three great families, they ended the selection early. They could only leave the competition grounds hatefully.

There were only twenty people left, and aside from his own brothers, no one else dared to easily trust anyone else.

Several small groups were coldly confronting each other, trying to find some weak points from each other.

At this point, no one would easily give up on withdrawing. This time's selection was enough to change their fates, so everyone would cherish this hard-earned opportunity.

After a long while, Lin Xiu, who was unremarkable in everyone's eyes, suddenly made a move. His cultivation was only at the peak of the Blood Refining Stage, so no one paid him any heed.

However, when Lin Xiu made his move, they realized that they were all ridiculously wrong.

In a short period of time, Lin Xiu was kicked off the competition stage like a sandbag as he entered a completely uninhabited state. Even the people who just entered Bone Quenching Stage were no exception.

The audience immediately erupted with excitement!

The fact that Blood Refining Stage was able to clean up the Bone Quenching Stage like it was a little chick was truly out of everyone's expectations.

Even the deacon, who was originally squinting his eyes, looked at Lin Xiu a few times.

Blood Refining Stage was able to compete with cultivators of Bone Quenching Stage, and in the years he had been in charge of choosing disciples, he had encountered many.

However, like Lin Xiu, it was his first time doing things so simply and casually.

For a moment, he was slightly interested in the youth in the arena.
