Chương 196: Prelude to the Yihua clan's selection

Li Yue'er was also clearly aware of all these which was why she has a frown in her pretty face. Limitless blood assassin was her arch enemy; she dreamt of killing him with her own hands even in her dreams. This hatred was something much that it turned into a heart demon, impeding her cultivation. This wasn't much now, but once she broke into the spirit realm, the heart demon would manifest, causing her to lose herself or be unable to progress at all.

A heart demon was something all cultivators above the spirit realm feared as it could end their martial path. And Li Yue'er already had a heart demon. If she couldn't end the heart demon by killing limitless blood, then her cultivation would face a bottleneck that she would never be able to overcome once she reached the spirit realm. And it was naturally impossible for her to kill limitless blood assassin with a Yang realm cultivation. Her situation was quite hopeless.

Li Yue'er's frown vanished, replaced by a faint smile.

"It's not a problem. I will go. This could be my only chance…" Long Feng and Yan jian nodded at her words, feeling her helplessness.

"Don't worry, miss Li. We've dealt with the demon entity and we will also deal with the limitless blood assassin." Long Feng reassured confidently. His words weren't baseless claims or arrogance. He was confident that in a year or a few months time, even limitless blood assassin would not be worth mentioning before them. He had lofty aspirations, to reach the same unfathomable level as Wu Kong and surpass him, even reaching the unimaginably Supreme level of Wu Kong's master.

Forget Limitless blood assassin, even the powerhouses of the four regions were not worth mentioning before this ambition. Surpassing them all was only a matter of time.

"I know. I'm alright" Li Yue'er replied softly.

"Alright we're wasting time here. Let's get going! And Li Yue'er, are you coming along like this? …" Yan jian asked, giving Li Yue'er a side glance.

"What?" Long Feng asked in confusion. Li Yue'er looked perfectly normal. What was Yan jian referring to?

"Brother Long Feng, the Lei clan's useless young master was one thing, we could easily deal with them, but if we go to the Central Province and some hedonistic young master of some powerful clan falls for Li Yue'er's face, I'm afraid Li Yue'er is going to have a forced Impromptu marriage." Yan jian explained. Long Feng's eyes widened in realization. Yan jian was right, Lei Hao was attracted to Li Yue'er's face on first sight, not that he could be blamed for it, because she wasn't wearing her veil.

And even now, she isn't wearing her veil. Her face could cause a lot of trouble for them in the central province.

'but Yan jian…he used the wrong choice of words…ha! forget it. He'll probably get a beating.' Long Feng shrugged, but Yan jian was evidently unaware of this. He frowned with a thoughtful expression.

"Come to think of it, brother Long Feng, it's actually not a bad thing for Li Yue'er to get married now. I mean, I know some girls at her age who have one or two children. If she gets married to the young master of a powerful clan or the Yihua clan, then limitless blood assassin won't be able to do anything to her even if he finds her. And she can also protect us. When we are strong enough to not fear even the Yihua clan, we can go get her back and leave. Smart right?"

"……??" Long Feng stared at Yan jian with wide eyes and mouth. Seriously? Smart? If looks could kill, Yan jian would have already died a few thousand times from Li Yue'er's glare, but he wasn't even aware of this. Get married? … Even Long Feng couldn't suppress an uncomfortable feeling in his mind at this and he felt like sewing Yan jian's mouth shut. Oh well. Li Yue'er will handle this herself. Glancing at Li Yue'er, she was shivering with rage. This book is hosted on another platform.

Read the official version and support the author's work. Before Yan jian could understand what was happening, he was punched right in the face with enough power to give him a swollen eye without injuring him. And for the next few minutes, Yan jian proceeded to receive the thrashing of his life with his occasional shout for help to Long Feng or his confused pleading voice echoing. Even until the very end, he still didn't understand what he had said wrong. Wasn't he just worried about her safety? …

A week later, the central province of the Yihua continent was bustling, boasting ten times the number of people. Every city in the province was filled up with every Inn and hotel having no rooms available. Some people even slept in the forests. This was all due to the upcoming Yihua clan's selection competition, where the strongest Juniors in the continent would be chosen to represent the continent in the hundred continent meeting.

Most people, even mortals were aware of the hundred continent meeting as it wasn't a secret and it happened every ten years. They were infact expecting it, as each time the Yihua continent had a participant who managed to rank in the top hundred of the hundred continent meeting, they were often rewards to be given to the Yihua clan and the ordinary people also benefited from this. One must not underestimate these rewards.

The hundred continent meeting actually gathered over a thousand continents, and each of these continents had a certain share to give in these rewards. The amount of contributions a continent gave was actually what determined the number of youths the continent could send to the meeting. The Yihua clan was only a low rank continent and only contributed a tiny portion, thus their little spots.

Some mid rank continents had as many as over fifty spots and the high rank continents had over a hundred spots because they often contributed the bulk of these rewards. The forces of the four regions also added some treasures that could cause a bloody war in any of the continents, all as rewards for the top hundred Juniors. They did so as a way to stimulate the Juniors into giving their all during the competition.

The reward for the hundredth position only was enough to raise the overall strength of the Yihua clan by a notch and probably even help them to create a few spirit realm cultivators. The Yihua clan had never before made it to the ranking above the ninety. In fact, the highest rank a junior of the Yihua continent had ever gotten was ninety six, just four ranks away from the last.

The rewards of the top fifty was enough to push even a small clan like the jianhai clan into a mid rank continent overlord, surpassing even the Yihua clan. Of course, it was impossible for even the Yihua clan to get such results. As for the rewards of the top ten could push a high rank continent overlord into the ranks of the fifth grade forces! There were a few continents that surpassed the high rank continents. These group of continents were very rare and held the title Overlord continents.

These continents were only about ten, and were comparable to fifth grade forces of the four regions but chose to remain in the continent zones. These continents were the true lords of the continent zones and were also the continents that held the top ten position for over a hundred years. Even the high rank continents couldn't compete, settling for the positions below the tenth rank. As for the first place, the rewards were unimaginable for the ordinary people.

If the first place rewards was to be given to a single person who had never cultivated before, even if the person was a total trash, they would still reach the imperial realm in a year and the deity realm in three years, although their foundation would be horrible. Even though most of the rewards were to be given to the continents behind the individual, they were just the bulk of the ordinary treasures. The true treasures were the few given by the four region's forces and were all given to the individual.

Millions of imperial crystals, cultivation resources and techniques, armaments, and others. The results for first place was something even high rank continents could only dream about. The first place had already become the overlord continent's battle ground, each of them grooming a talent specifically for this spot. The entire Yihua continent was preparing for this. They didn't have great aspirations, only hoping for their Juniors to secure one of the last ten positions. Even then, it was a far away dream.

The competition would take place in the Yihua clan's territory, in a city specifically built for this purpose. The city was always closed and abandoned and only saw people during this competition. Although the city was large, enough to take over three thousand people, it was still not enough. Apart from the central square in the city where the competition stage was, every other nook and cranny of the city was filled with people, many even sleeping on the streets and in alleys.

And this was even after the Yihua clan set an unreasonable amount of spirit crystals as entry fee, otherwise the population would number in the tens of thousands. All of these people were here to spectate and the actual competitors were only about a hundred. At this moment, three figures entered the city; to young men and one lady with a veil. They were of course, Long Feng, Yan jian and Li Yue'er.

"Goddamn this city! A thousand spirit crystal per person just to enter! It's no wonder that the Yihua clan has such vast reserve of spirit crystals!" Yan jian cursed softly. To enter this city, each of them had to pay a thousand spirit crystals. Luckily, Long Feng always remembered to 'borrow' yang and spirit crystals from those who looked for his trouble, like the Lei clan and the jianhai clan. He had taken about five thousand spirit crystals from them; the total accumulation of the jianhai clan's clan chief.

Therefore, they were able to pay up the entry fee.

"You said it yourself, the Yihua clan is the ruler of this continent. Anything they do is fair since they are strong, right?" Long Feng glanced at him and asked.

"Besides, I paid the entrance fee and you gave nothing. Why are you so bothered?" Yan jian paused,"You can't say that, brother Long Feng. I don't have enough crystals, so you paid for me. And as your elder brother, your spirit crystals are mine, so in that case, I actually paid for myself" Long Feng snorted,"You're getting more and more shameless! We haven't decided who is the elder brother among us!"

"Who said so? I'm older than all of you with two years! And I'm more knowledgeable than you too. You're just a fifteen years old kid. It's obvious to anyone that I'm the eldest""Is it so? Oh well. I'm not interested in arguing with you." Long Feng shrugged and looked around.

"This city is huge. Gan Yu city could fit in here twice! Yet it is still not enough""Of course the city is huge. It was built specially for this event""What did Hua Liuli said we should do once we arrived again?"

"We head straight to the participants building. Hopefully, she remembered to add our names into the list as she promised" Yan jian replied.

"She should have added us. Hua Liuli isn't that unreliable" Long Feng said.

"Let's hurry up. The participants building is at the central square, close to the battle arena. It is only reserved for the participants" Yan jian added and rushed forward, squeezing through the bustling streets filled with people Due to the sheer number of people in the city, even walking on the streets required one to squeeze his way through.

"Let's go" Long Feng nodded at Li Yue'er and went ahead.
