This selection battle was a highly anticipated event, attracting a large number of participants, including cultivators from other forces. These individuals were all high-ranking and powerful, otherwise they would not have been qualified to come to Galaxy Mountain.
It must be said that Han Xuanji has gained considerable fame because of Chi Yuan.
Therefore, his existence has attracted considerable attention.
Many people are curious whether this newly promoted prodigy who has swiftly passed through the Ten Directions Sacred Domain truly lives up to his reputation, or is merely a figurehead who was pushed into the position.
"That's Han Xuanji? The Nine Mysteries Holy Lord's precious disciple? He doesn't seem that impressive."
Not far away, a tall, thin man spoke in a low voice to his companion, his tone carrying undisguised disdain.
"Making such a fuss, I thought he was some important figure. Turns out, he's just a newcomer who recently entered the True God realm. And he dares to rank 108th? Who knows how much effort the powerful figures behind him put in."
"Exactly! The Nine Mysteries Holy Lord is really shameless, forcing a newcomer into this position. Once he's on stage, no one will give him any leeway."
"If you ask me, even 108th place is too high. How long has he been a True God? Anyone you pick out here has spent ten times longer honing their skills in the True God Realm. If it were just based on his own strength, it's questionable whether he could even stand here."
Han Xuanji listened to these discussions without even lifting an eyelid.
He had anticipated this reaction.
A total of three hundred people participated in the selection process, all of whom were handpicked by the Sacred Court and were the cream of the crop among their peers.
He was a "newbie" who had only entered the Eternal True God a thousand years ago, with no foundation, yet he ranked 108th, which naturally caused some people to be dissatisfied.
However, Han Xuanji never liked to argue over words.
Some things are won with fists, not with a few words from others.
In both past and present lives, the victor reigns supreme.
A reversal of public opinion is achieved through merit, not empty words.
However, Han Xuanji also glanced at Mo Chenxiao, concluding that it must have been Mo Chenxiao's doing, and it might even be related to Chi Yuan and the Gu Household.
Noticing Han Xuanji's gaze, Mo Chenxiao smiled and nodded, as if to say, "Don't panic, my disciple. Your master has already set up a stage for you. Show yourself!"
Suddenly, Han Xuanji sensed a burning gaze and a hint of hostility. He subconsciously turned his head and met Chi Yuan's gaze.
Hey, old friend.
However, Han Xuanji did not go up to greet them.
Chi Yuan was surrounded by a large crowd, clearly indicating that he was much more popular than Han Xuanji. Most of the surrounding cultivators were also flattering him, believing that Chi Yuan would shine brightly in this selection battle.
Although, like Han Xuanji, he had not been an Eternal True God for long.
However, it was no secret that Chi Yuan had used a special Secret Method to forcibly suppress his cultivation level. His cultivation at the Eternal True God Ninth Layer realm was not a significant disadvantage in this selection battle, and he could make up for it with other things.
When he saw Han Xuanji looking at him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and an undisguised coldness surged in his eyes.
Han Xuanji.
Chi Yuan repeated the name in his mind, his fist clenched slowly in his sleeve.
He lost face so badly in the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm that he was secretly laughed at by countless people after he returned.
However, being a disciple of the Saint Venerable, he possessed a good temperament and was not blinded by anger. Over the years, he had devoted himself to diligent cultivation. Although he lost the inheritance of the Ten Directions Holy Lord, he had other fortuitous opportunity, which enabled him to break through several realms in a short period of time and even become a popular candidate in this selection battle.
He wants to find everything he has lost on this Galaxy Platform.
"Forget it, he probably won't even run into me. He's not even worthy of being considered a competitor by me."
Chi Yuan pondered for a moment, then gave Han Xuanji a deep look. Initially somewhat wary, he noticed the other's aura wasn't strong, and then withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself:
"Hmph, this boy is nothing to worry about."
Han Xuanji's ranking was much lower than his, and his cultivation was definitely inferior. There was no Saint Realm suppression here, and no one would give Han Xuanji any special treatment; only true strength mattered.
If he were to encounter them, he refused to believe he would lose.
If Han Xuanji didn't even have the ability to come up here, then she's not worth mentioning at all.
Han Xuanji noticed that Chi Yuan's expression shifted from cold to head-shaking, and his hostility varied, leading her to believe that this person had some issues.
In fact, he didn't consider Chi Yuan a competitor.
They didn't even bother to study the top ten masters, but instead focused on observing the style of Ying Yuan, who was ranked number one.
Han Xuanji pondered for a moment, then ignored Chi Yuan and focused his attention on the stage.
At this moment, the head of the First Sacred Hall had already ascended the high platform.
He was a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in magnificent clothes, and exuding an aura of profound power. He was one of the most powerful figures under the Saint Emperor of the Sacred Court and the Four Saint Venerable.
He didn't say anything unnecessary, simply repeated the rules, and then raised his hand and pressed down in the air.
A magnificent bell rang out among the mountains, signaling the official start of the selection process.
Soon, Han Xuanji and the other contestants were all standing on the Galaxy Platform.
The Galaxy Platform is extremely vast, with ample space between each person in all directions, allowing for normal movement. However, each person is invisibly separated by an extremely thin layer of light, making them appear within reach of each other, yet in reality, they cannot get any closer.
Han Xuanji looked at a special device on his wrist, which had been installed on him as soon as he arrived at Galaxy Mountain.
With a slight thought, countless pieces of information flooded in.
It allows you to accurately see your own ranking, the current rankings of everyone else, the number of challenges, and even the battle records, all clearly displayed.
He is currently ranked 108th, which is neither high nor low among the 300 people, placing him in a rather delicate position.
Above Han Xuanji and the others, just like in the previous Principle Conference, was a huge light screen. The screen was divided into countless images that could display their battle situation, as well as a separate area that displayed their current rankings.
The action had already begun, but most people remained inactive.
Each person only has one chance to make a move each day. If they make a move rashly and lose, they will have to wait until the next day and will be constantly challenged by others, which is extremely disadvantageous for those with lower rankings.
More importantly, this selection battle could easily turn into a series of battles, with only a short rest period after each fight. Although one can take pills to replenish true energy and restore physical strength during the cultivation period, it is still a great disadvantage for the person who strikes first.
Only those who rank in the top three can truly rest easy.
Unless someone is completely stupid, practically no one would be willing to challenge them right now.
Just as Han Xuanji was pondering who to challenge, the system notification suddenly sounded.
