Chapter 414: The Ten Candidates
Wu Cheng observed Ye Xiao for a while, waiting for his reply but Ye Xiao didn"t say anything. He simply smiled at Wu Cheng, Huang Daniu, and Ta Mu.
Seeing this, Wu Cheng said, "You have really surprised us. We didn"t expect you to have already comprehended both the Laws of Fire and Thunder. Many people of your age and cultivation base could only comprehend one law but you have actually comprehended two laws. This also shows your great talent in cultivation."
Saying this, he ignored Ye Xiao for the time being and looked at the crowd of partic.i.p.ants before saying, "I announce the end of the compet.i.tion."
Announcing the end of the compet.i.tion, Wu Cheng pointed at Ye Xiao and the other nine partic.i.p.ants and again said loudly, "These ten young people are the chosen candidates and they will represent the Immortal Star World in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds!"
After Wu Cheng announced the result, a huge uproar was caused amongst the crowd of people. Some of them were quite satisfied with the final result while some of them felt that it was unfair.
Xu Feiyi had clearly not caught the Flag then why she was one of the ten candidates.
Although some people were not satisfied, they didn"t dare to voice out their dissatisfaction in front of the three people who came from other worlds. It was clear that they feared Wu Cheng and the other two"s strength.
Other than the crowd of people, the people of various sects present also started discussing something.
Seeing that the noise was becoming louder and louder, Wu Cheng burst out with his powerful aura, causing a terrifying pressure to fall down on everyone including the people from the various sect leaders. Of course, the partic.i.p.ants were not included as they were quietly looking at the ten chosen partic.i.p.ants with envy and jealousy.
All the people quieted down when the pressure descended on them. They tried their best to endure the pressure but some of them still fainted while some of them spurted out mouthfuls of blood.
Wu Cheng retracted back his aura at this time. What he had done now was just to give the people a warning not to cause trouble here.
Seeing that everyone have quieted down, Wu Cheng looked at the ten chosen partic.i.p.ants and said, "You ten will represent the Immortal Star World in the compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds. Prepare yourselves. We will leave the Immortal Star World after one week. During these seven days of time, you all can do whatever you want."
"Also, you can bring two people with you if you want. Of course, they"ll just accompany you to your destination but not partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds. After the beginning of the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds, those people will become the guest of the organizer of the compet.i.tion and those organizers will guarantee their safety."
All ten partic.i.p.ants nodded their heads in agreement. In their hearts, they had already started planning whom to bring with them. Ye Xiao was not an exception.
Since he could bring two people with him, Ye Xiao immediately made the decision to bring Yue Ying with him. Thinking of Yue Ying, unknowingly, a smile appeared on his face.
Coming back to sense, he looked at the nine other partic.i.p.ants who"ll represent the Immortal Star World in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds.
Ye Xiao didn"t know eight of the partic.i.p.ants but he did know the ninth one. It was a beautiful girl.
Ye Xiao met this girl when he was about to enter the ruin a few months ago. Only after the arrival of this girl did others started breaking the restriction blocking the entrance of the ruin.
He again met her inside the ruin where she even tried to kill him because the demon wanted to possess his body.
This beautiful girl was called Miss Yi by others. Ye Xiao didn"t know her full name. But he did know that she came from a First Level Sect and has amazing strength.
Before entering the ruin, she was only at the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm but when Ye Xiao met her again, she had already broken through to the Immortal King Realm.
Ye Xiao didn"t saw her when he was partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion and when the partic.i.p.ants were being teleported to the Land of Ice and Fire. It was only now when the ten partic.i.p.ants were announced that he noticed her.
Her face was still covered in a veil just like the last time he met her, making it hard for others to recognize her. maybe, this was also the reason why Ye Xiao didn"t notice her before.
He was able to notice her right now and even recognized her because of two reasons.
The first one was because she was one of the ten partic.i.p.ants who"ll represent the Immortal Star World in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds. When he was looking at the other nine partic.i.p.ants, he found her familiar.
And the second reason was because of her frosty aura. Her aura was completely different from others. Because of her aura, Ye Xiao was able to immediately recognize her.
What was more, the other eight partic.i.p.ants were standing some distance away from her, trying to avoid her.
Miss Yi was known for her cold personality. It is said that she never interacted with people whom she doesn"t know. She also always gave off the aura of isolation to others.
Right now, while Ye Xiao was looking at Miss Yi with a surprised gaze, she was also looking back at him, and from her eyes, Ye Xiao guessed that she was smiling at him.
A chill ran down Ye Xiao"s spine for no reason. He found it extremely weird when he noticed her smiling at him. He still remembered that last time, she tried to kill him with all she got. If not for his powerful strength, or if there was any other person in his place, she would have killed that person without batting an eye to whom she was killing.
In her eyes, she was only killing the demon. She had no intention of sparing his life because, from her point of view, he would also become a demon after his body will be possessed by the demon.
Miss Yi was looking at Ye Xiao because she still remembered him. He was the only person who caught her attention back then.
She noticed that Ye Xiao had Divine Sea and also the dragon"s bloodline when she was trying to kill him. At that time, Ye Xiao was trying to kill the demon who entered the Universe in his mind.
At that time, a terrifying energy also exploded out from Ye Xiao"s body. This energy was the milky white energy that solely belong to the Universe in Ye Xiao"s mind.
Miss Yi was unable to recognize this energy and was extremely surprised when she noticed it. She also asked Ye Xiao what kind of energy was that but Ye Xiao didn"t answer her.
Ye Xiao had already caught her attention. She didn"t expect to meet him again here. She was the first one to qualify as the candidate to partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds.
After transporting back here, she observed Ye Xiao"s situation the whole time. She saw him pa.s.sing the white fog and entering the dark tunnel. She also saw him fighting Man-Demon Ice Horse as well jumping down in the crack while chasing after the Man-Demon Ice Horse.
She had shown a great interest in Ye Xiao. In her eyes, Ye Xiao was a mysterious person and she needed to study him more to understand him.
.....
Ye Xiao turned his head and looked in a different direction, trying to avoid Miss Yi.
It was at this moment when Wu Cheng again said to the ten candidates, "All of you, gather here after one week. We will depart for our next destination at that time with you."
Seeing that all the ten candidates nodding their heads, Wu Cheng gave permission to everyone to leave. There was no point in staying here since the compet.i.tion was already over.
After that, Wu Cheng, Huang Daniu, and Ta Mu, the three of them cast a deep gaze at Ye Xiao before flying away.
Ye Xiao found it strange. He could feel that they were showing a great interest in him for some reason. But what that reason was, he didn"t know.
All ten partic.i.p.ants went back to the power they belong to.
Although Ye Xiao didn"t belong to the Seven Star Sect, he still went there, after all, in this compet.i.tion, he was representing the Seven Star Sect.
There was another disciple of the Seven Star Sect who was chosen as the candidate to partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad Worlds. This person was Duan Ling Si.
All the other sects were jealous of the Seven Star Sect right now. After all, there were two disciples of the Seven Star Sect who were chosen as two of the ten candidates to represent the Immortal Star World.
