Cloud River City Chapter 19: Selection of the Supreme Sect
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Not long after Su Yun and others arrived, a burst of bells and drums resounded in the huge square.
The eyes of everyone on the other side of the river and in the square were all focused on an open-air attic at the front of the square.
There were three people sitting high, wearing uniform white and blue robes, with a white cloud mark embroidered on their chests.
They are the sect that held this selection, the Yuntian Sect!
Listening to the sound of bells and drums, a middle-aged black-haired man sitting in the middle immediately stood up and came to the front of the attic to face the countless people in the room.
"The time has come, let's start the selection of Yuntian Sect now!"
A loud voice containing soul power resounded inside and outside the square for a while, "This selection is divided into two rounds. One is to test the soul power, and the other is to compete in actual combat. Those who successfully pass both rounds of selection will become the members of our Yuntian Sect."
New disciple!"
Wow!
As soon as the words fell, many boys and girls in the square were already excited.
The power of the Yuntian Sect extends throughout the eastern region of the Tiancang Empire. Even if we look at the entire Tiancang Empire, they are still one of the largest sects in the ranking.
Join Yuntian Sect.
This is the dream of countless young soul cultivators in Yunhe City!
For this triennial selection, many young soul cultivators present had begun preparations as early as a year or even two years ago.
Now that this moment has finally arrived, without too many words, it is enough to make their hearts surge!
"The number of people who have passed the preliminary examination and specific quotas to participate in the formal selection this time is a total of 580. Next, every twenty people will be divided into groups and go on stage to test their soul power. The top five test results in each group
Then there will be a soul power competition, and the two winners will advance to the next round!"
The black-haired middle-aged man spoke again.
Hearing this, some boys and girls in the field who were not confident in their own strength suddenly became extremely anxious.
In a group of twenty people, the two winners in the end can advance. This is only one-tenth of the advancement rate!
"Now whoever's name I read will go directly to the ring!"
The black-haired middle-aged man didn't care whether they were worried or not, he picked up a roster and read:
"Huang Yuan!"
"Dong Ji!"
"Yunzhi!"
…
Twenty names, corresponding to twenty nervous-looking boys and girls, stepped onto the big stage in the square under the eyes of countless people in the field.
On the arena, a long table was prepared early in the morning, with a row of twenty crystal balls the size of human heads placed on it.
"Place your hands on the crystal ball and inject as much soul power into it as possible!"
In the attic, the black-haired middle-aged man spoke loudly, "Now, start the test!"
After hearing this, the twenty boys and girls on the stage didn't dare to neglect and pressed their hands on the crystal ball and began to inject soul power into it.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"...
I saw twenty upward rays of light appearing on the twenty crystal balls at the same time.
In the first second, twenty rays of light were directed upwards.
In the second second, three of the rays of light fell behind and stopped their upward trend.
Then the third second, the fourth second, the fifth second... every second there was a ray of light falling behind. When it came to the tenth second, of the twenty rays of light that were rising at the same time, only three were left.
However, it only lasted for two seconds and then stopped one after another.
At this time, a vivid picture also formed on the arena.
Twenty rays of light of different heights appeared on the crystal balls in front of the twenty boys and girls.
"The five people with the highest brilliance will stay. The others will be eliminated!"
In the attic, the black-haired middle-aged man saw this and spoke calmly.
With a simple sentence, the fifteen boys and girls with shorter radiance in front of them all turned pale, and they all lowered their heads and got off the ring.
Their lonely backs made many people in the audience sigh.
How cruel!
In just over ten seconds, the elimination of fifteen boys and girls was directly decided.
But this also made everyone understand the rules.
The height of the light in front of you is the result of the soul power test.
Seeing that the highest point of light on the stage had reached nearly three meters, the young and girls in the field had a rough standard in mind.
"Now the soul power competition begins!"
The black-haired middle-aged man said to the five people on the stage: "Take your hands away from the crystal ball, and then use your soul power to touch the crystal ball again and inject it into it!"
Take it away and touch again?
After hearing this, the five young men on the stage were a little confused, but they still followed the instructions.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"...
And the moment they let go of their hands and put their hands back on the crystal balls, a strong wave of soul power surged into the five crystal balls at the same time.
"ah!"
One of the teenagers didn't even react, as if he had been hit by something, he was knocked back several steps and collapsed on the ground.
"Dong Ji, eliminated!"
The black-haired middle-aged man also read his name at the same time.
"ah?"
The young man named Dong Ji looked confused when he heard this.
The black-haired middle-aged man explained calmly, "When you inject soul power into the crystal ball for the second time, the five crystal balls have been connected with each other, forming a mutual repulsion of soul power. The one with the weakest soul power injected into it will be repelled and bounced away by the crystal ball.
!”
Hearing this, everyone present was suddenly stunned.
The four people who were still holding the crystal ball looked tense for a moment, and they increased their efforts to inject soul power into the crystal ball.
But within a few seconds, another person was repulsed by the soul power of the crystal ball and fell backwards.
When the remaining three people saw this, they all frantically poured soul power into the crystal ball.
According to the rules, as long as one of them bounces away, the remaining two will undoubtedly advance. At this time, the three of them are naturally unwilling to be the first to be bounced away.
However, after a few seconds, one person finally jumped away without paying.
"Yunzhi, eliminated!"
The voice of the black-haired middle-aged man made the young man named Yun Zhi feel like he was mourning for his heir.
There’s only one missing!!
"In the first group, Huang Yuan and Lin Yun advance to the next round!"
The remaining two young men on the stage looked happy.
There was a burst of cheers in the audience, including the Lin family. Because among the two people who were promoted, the young man named Lin Yun was from the Lin family.
"well……"
On the other hand, Yun Yan and several elders of the Yun family sighed helplessly at this moment.
Because Yun Zhi was one of the five people from the Yun family who participated in the selection. It was really a pity that he almost made the cut!
Lin Zongshan and other senior officials of the Lin family even cast a sarcastic look at everyone in the Yun family.
This made Yun Yan and others look gloomy.
"Next is the second group."
The black-haired middle-aged man in the attic also picked up the list and read the name again:
"Nie Yong!"
"Han Fei!"
"Dong Tianlong!"
…
When he read the name in the middle, a burst of cheers suddenly arose in the audience.
I saw a tall young man with long black hair and a handsome face stepping onto the ring under the stars.
Dong Tianlong!
A family of cultivators from another side of Yunhe City, the number one genius among the younger generation of the Dong family!
"start testing!"
The black-haired middle-aged man didn't pay attention to the shouts in the field. After reading his name and seeing twenty teenagers standing on the ring, he announced.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"...
Twenty crystal balls emitted light at the same time.
But what is different from before is that this time among the twenty rays of light, one of them is particularly prominent. It only took three seconds to climb to the highest three-meter position of the previous group, and it is still rising.
It is almost unique, directly outperforming the other nineteen rays of light.
"Wow!"
This scene made many people in the audience exclaim.
Even the three black-haired middle-aged people in the attic could not help but frown slightly.
Especially when they saw the light rising to nearly five meters, a trace of expectation appeared in their eyes.
But unfortunately, this light stopped when it was infinitely close to breaking through five meters.
When the three black-haired middle-aged people saw this, they secretly said "What a pity", and their expressions returned to normal.
"Oh my god! It's so high!!"
"As expected of Master Dong Tianlong, he is truly amazing!"
"Look at the second place, it's at least half shorter!"
…
The people in the field were greatly amazed when they saw this.
This person who shines brightly is obviously Dong Tianlong, who was praised by the stars before.
The faces of the Dong family members present were filled with pride.
This is the number one genius of their Dong family!
The next soul power competition is equally surprising.
Because just at the moment when soul power was injected into the crystal ball, the other four teenagers except Dong Tianlong were all shocked away.
"When the soul power in one of the crystal balls is too strong, it will directly repel the soul power of the other four crystal balls!"
For this reason, the black-haired middle-aged man in the attic made a special explanation, which made everyone suddenly understand.
Looking at Dong Tianlong again, every look in his eyes changed.
He is indeed the number one genius of the Dong family!
"Next is the third group."
The dark-haired middle-aged man continues to pick up the roster:
"Dong Lin!"
"Lin Feng!"
…
When he read the second name, there was a burst of cheers in the field that was not inferior to the previous one when Dong Tianlong came on stage.
I saw a young man in green walking slowly out of the Lin family group.
The number one genius of the Lin family, Lin Feng!
A young genius who is no less inferior to Dong Tianlong.
His appearance made everyone in the Lin family full of expectations, especially Lin Zongshan.
Because Lin Feng is his eldest son and his pride!
"Su Yun!"
But his anticipation didn't last long, as he froze as the black-haired middle-aged man read the name in his ear, and then instantly became gloomy.
His cold gaze immediately found Su Yun in the Yun family.
"Is it my turn?"
Su Yun didn't pay attention to the other person's gaze, but raised his eyebrows when he heard the name.
"Boy, come on!"
Yun Yan patted him on the shoulder.
Su Yun nodded slightly, and at the same time couldn't help but look at Yun Yilan next to him.
Yun Yilan was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other.
Just for a moment, Yun Yilan looked away in a panic, and immediately a cold look appeared on her face.
He doesn't seem to care whether he plays or not!
Seeing this, Su Yun smiled helplessly and walked towards the ring.
Meanwhile on the other side.
Lin Feng, who was beside Lin Zongshan, saw Su Yun from a distance and said with a cold expression: "Dad, don't worry. I won't let him advance!"
