During the Martial Competition Tournament, those who performed outstandingly could receive the full support of the higher-ups. Naturally, the degree of cultivation they received varied according to the talent they displayed.
Originally, the Martial Competition Tournament champion should have received the best cultivation and the most resources. But because Child of God Ye Xukong had appeared, he received treatment equal to Ye Xiwen's. Ye Xiwen did not care about this. What treatment others enjoyed had nothing to do with him. After all these years, he had long grown accustomed to it—relying on heaven and earth was inferior to relying on oneself.
In this respect, Ye Xiwen felt that the Ye Family had done far better than the former Yi Yuan Sect and True Martial School. They promoted talent alone; as long as one had sufficient aptitude, heaps upon heaps of resources would be poured onto them. That was why the Ye Family could flourish for so long without decline. It was not without reason.
Apart from the higher-ranked disciples, there were also those with formidable strength but poor luck, who had failed to achieve better rankings. These people would likewise be cultivated as key seeded candidates.
After all, the purpose of the Martial Competition Tournament was to select geniuses. How could they watch helplessly as geniuses appeared and then fail to cultivate them?
There were indeed some who occupied higher positions only because they had been lucky, but more often than not, was luck not also part of one's strength?
One must never underestimate the weight of luck in strength. Some people were born with outrageously good fortune; they might trip over a spirit treasure just by stepping outside, then accidentally subdue a spirit beast after falling down. Such heaven-defying things had not never happened on the Ancient Barrens Continent.
