"I am the Azure Thunder True Dragon, ruler of thunder's punishment! All living things are ignorant of heaven's might. Today, I shall let your Nine Provinces witness it!"
The Azure Thunder True Dragon roared within the Black Tortoise shell, utterly conceited. Yet the power of the lightning it commanded was terrifying-a sea of thunder that formed a domain.
Its flesh was also extraordinarily fearsome. Its blood and qi surged, displaying its savagery and arrogance to the fullest.
But far more than five hundred prodigies from the Nine Provinces had come here. If they recklessly accepted its challenge, the death toll would soon exceed a hundred.
Thus, they needed to establish rules to select the hundred strongest Crown Champions.
"We shall use the Nine Provinces' Heavenly Prodigy Ranking, prioritizing the Nascent Soul Ranking, then proceeding down the ranks," the palace mistress of the Supreme Truth Jade Radiance Palace declared. As a candidate for leader of the Kun Province Dao Alliance, she had that authority.
The other leaders agreed. The Nine Provinces' Heavenly Prodigy Ranking carried tremendous weight, making this the most suitable method for selecting their combatants.
Soon-
From the gathered prodigies, they selected thirty Nascent Soul Crown Champions among the top hundred of Qian Province's and Kun Province's Nascent Soul Rankings, along with seventy Golden Core Crown Champions among the top hundred of their Golden Core Rankings.
Li Yang was not among them.

Li Yang was not among them.
He had only just gone to the Sword Alliance to be certified as a Sword Envoy. Before he could challenge the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking, he had been assigned to attend the Heaven and Earth Matchmaking.
But even without attending the Heaven and Earth Matchmaking, Li Yang had no interest in empty fame.
And so, he had been excluded.
