"Help? How can I help you?" asked Wu Hong.
"I have been trying to find a way to create a way to refine Divine Punishment Thunder, but it has proven to be quite difficult. And maybe your ability can help me," replied Wang Wei.
"Divine Punishment Thunder? That thing is at the level of Dao Law and you want to refine it?" asked Wu Hong in doubt.
"Dao Law? What is that?" asked Wang Wei with a look of confusion on his face.
"Ask your father!," replied Wu Hong.
"So many secrets," muttered Wang Wei to himself. "Anyway, I think instead of creating a method to refine it--which would take me a lot of time--it is better if you could seal the thunder inside my body, then allow some power of it to slowly release in order to temper my body."
Wu Hong pondered for a brief moment, then replied back; "I can do that, but you’ll have to make sure that this power is not released to your organs until you finish tempering them."
Wang Wei nodded as he also agreed with her. His organs were still in the process of being tempered and were very fragile, so they would not be able to withstand such a tremendous amount of power such as Divine Punishment Thunder.
After making this plan, both Wang Wei and Wu Hong secretly left, deciding to not further waste their time with the trial/tournament.
Meanwhile, inside the Di Family booth that was also floating in the air around the stadium:
Di Tian was holding a crescent shaped broken jade pendant in his hand. He looked at it with love, remembrance, and sadness. Then, a firm determination could be seen in his eyes.
While being distracted by the jade, someone knocked on the door. With a wave of his thought, the pendant disappeared from his hand, then he said with a harsh and cold voice: "Come in!"
Soon, a beautiful lady entered the room. She had long black hair, had a blue hanfu on and no makeup on. Her natural lip was petite, but also red and luscious, making any man fascinated with and woman very envious.
This girl’s name was Di Jia and she was Di Tian’s Shadow.
After entering the room, Di Tian took a talisman from her, but he did not even give a single glance. It was as if to him, it did not matter how beautiful a woman was, they were all skeletons with flesh.
Di Jia sighed after seeing this, but she was used to it after so many years. She has long accepted her fate.
As for Di Tian, he read the information he just received--which was about Wang Wei. Through this new information, he learned that Wang Wei had planned to participate in the tournament for a long time, but suddenly changed his mind two days ago.
In the information he received, he even knew that the reason that Wang Wei changed his mind was because of his feelings towards the Heavenly Dao Protection Book.
’Instinctive fear or rejection of Heavenly Dao, plus his cultivation of the Dao of Fate,’ secretly thought Di Tian. ’Could he be an Outlaw? If that is the case, my plan can be slightly modified, and I will not have to worry about him so much. However...’
After reviewing the information and modify his plan, he looked in the direction of the Dao Opening Sect’s booth, sneered before muttering:
"No one can stop me this time. No matter what, I will be the one proving the Dao in this generation."
After that, he finally looked at Di Jia and asked: "Any information about this Wu Hong?"
"No, young master," replied Di Jia hurriedly. "Except for the rumor that she was either the descendant of Empress Wu or her reincarnation, no news can be found."
Di Tian frowned as he started to think:
’Even the Sleepers could not find any information about her. I did not feel any power of reincarnation from her, so unless her power is so great that she can even hide from me, this theory is unlikely.
’This woman might become an uncontrollable variable, and I do not like that. My first instinct is to get rid of her, but I have a feeling that things might be more complicated than seen on the surface, so let’s observe for a while.’
After waking up from his thoughts, Di Tian waved to dismiss Di Jia and focused on watching the tournament. Although he did not place any of these people in his eyes--except for Wang Wei that he considered a minor nuisance--he will still watch them in order to better learn about their powers and abilities. He did not like variables outside his calculations.
While all of these secret spying, schemes, and calculations were going on, the Heaven Chosen Selection Trial had already started. To be precise, the preliminary rounds started.
The Preliminary Rounds or Elimination round is simply a slaughter fest. All the ten billion participants will be teleported to a world belonging to the Emperor Enlightening Academy.
In this world, there are a few cities scattered around, and the participants have to defend against Slaughter Devil Beast.
These beasts are somewhat similar to demonic beasts, but more feasts. For once, they did not originate from the Myriad Emperor World, but from the Nine Devil God World--which once invaded this world and created the Devil Era.
These beasts have no emotions, no fears, and no intelligence. All they know is endless slaughter.
In the first round of the Elimination round, the participants have to survive rounds after rounds of attack against hordes of these beasts. The number of them was essentially endless as the Academy just used that world to breed them.
When the number of participants dropped from 10 billion to half a billion, then the second round began. In the second round, the participants are allowed to kill each other. The second will not stop until there are only 100,00 participants, then the third round.
In the third round, all the Heaven Chosens who were on the list released by the Heaven Mystery Pavilion can begin to participate. Due to the fact that they were considered Seeded Players, they did not have to go through the first two rounds--unless they wanted to.
In this case, no one chose to do so, thus after entering the Secret World, all the Seeded Players went to their residences and started cultivating. The trial will actually take a few years, so they did not want to waste time.
Inside the booth of the Emperor Enlightening Academy, Bai Han was having a conversation with many teachers.
"So, are there any new people to look out for during this tournament?" asked one teacher.
"Yes, there are. First there is the number 7, Boundless Void Physique from the Worshipping Dao Academy."
Some of the teachers were surprised, the one said: "It seemed that the guys in the Worshipping Dao Academy hid their cards really well."
"They probably wanted to use this opportunity to build the momentum for their Heaven Chosens, and also blindside us."
"Well, as an Academy with 5 Great Emperors, they can be considered our greatest competitor when it comes to the other Academies."
The teachers nodded, then someone continued to explain:
"The number 8, Nine Yin Physique showed. She is from the lower realm and is also participating in the Elimination realm."
The number 8 physique was actually a weird one as there are two parts to this physique: If a man is born with it, it will turn into Nine Yang Physique--which is based on the principle of Extreme Yang.
If a woman has it, then it will be the Nine Yin Physique, based on the principle of Extreme Yin.
Then there is the very rare occasion when someone is born with a balance of Yin and Yang, thus also born with both the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Physique. A mutation would occur where such a physique is said to be even more powerful than the Yin-Yang Eyes, and reach the level of the top 3 physiques.
The teacher who previously spoke continued to explain the participants of this trial.
"As a matter of fact, number 8,9, and 10 physiques are all from the lower realm."
The Number 9 physique is called the Origin Spirit Physique. The owner of such a body has a very high affinity with Spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth, thus having a very rapid speed of cultivation.
Furthermore, they will not have any bottlenecks in cultivation until they reach the Void Shattered Realm. No to mention their near unlimited amount of origin essence in their Divine Sea.
The 10th Heavenly Physique is called Star Monarch Physique, which grants them the ability to cultivate the power of the stars.
The teachers did not underestimate any of these people because of their background. Given the fact that these people were actually born with such powerful physiques in the Lower Realm, then they are probably the Child of Destiny of their World.
As long as they are given the chance or opportunity to rise, they will immediately take it. And that opportunity was exactly this trial.
"So, none of you will mention the damn Mo family descendant?" suddenly said a teacher with gritted teeth.
The room then became silent, as all the teachers--including headmaster Bai Han--had a somber look on his face.
