Shangguan Jue's cold and hard attitude exceeded Wang Dai's expectations.
Wang Dai was not angry, but his heart sank slightly, and he lowered his eyes.
really...
Shangguan Jue strong.
He is a prodigy comparable to Jiang Chengzun.
He had heard a bit about Shangguan Jue's temperament; although he was unrestrained, he was also somewhat arrogant and xenophobic.
His attitude towards the students of Great Void Holy Heaven was completely different from his attitude towards the students of other Holy Heaven.
It's true that seeing is believing.
It seems that the other party came here to keep order for the others from Great Void Holy Heaven, and had no intention of going onto the arena.
pity.
Wang Dai shook his head. "It was my rudeness."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left the arena.
"Senior brother..."
The other students of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven were quite indignant after Wang Dai returned to his seat, and they were about to say something.
"No need to say more." But Wang Dai shook his head, swallowing back all the words the students hadn't said.
He spoke casually, showing no sign of anger or indignation.
"A challenge is a matter of mutual consent; if he's unwilling, there's nothing more to say."
"Alright, let's look at the other geniuses. Don't worry about me."
Despite this, Wang Dai's eyes showed no discouragement, nor did he feel inferior or that being rejected was justified.
yes.
That's right.
Shangguan Jue and Jiang Chengzun are capable of fighting.
However, he did not believe that Shangguan Jue was invincible.
Although he is currently only tenth in the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven, ranking does not necessarily reflect potential.
Wang Dai never believed that his potential was the worst among the Ten Saints.
Eastern Continent is a vast and resource-rich land.
Acquiring Cultivation Resources depends on strength, as well as fortuitous opportunity and luck.
Perhaps he is not yet worthy of Shangguan Jue's attention, but Wang Dai believes that with his luck, his cautious nature of never offending anyone, and his extraordinary talent and strength, he will one day be able to go all the way.
Given time, one day he will eventually grow into someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with those two!
His eyes flickered slightly, concealing his deep thoughts. He slowly exhaled, sat down comfortably, and began to organize his thoughts on what he had learned at the exchange meeting.
The exchange lasted all day before ending with everyone feeling that the discussion was still going strong.
After that, it's pure time for the trainees to rest and prepare for the competition.
First, to repair any injuries that may have occurred during the exchange meeting.
Secondly, this is preparation for the upcoming Ten Institutes Grand Competition.
A few days.
It passed in the blink of an eye.
The Ten Institutes Grand Competition has officially begun!
At the very center of the Saint City, the vast plaza was already impenetrably protected by a network of array masters.
Countless people flocked to this place.
There are people from the Saint Heaven Realm Domain.
There were also busybodies from other realms.
Countless flying boats sailed towards their docking points. For this sacred gathering, eight flying boat docks were specially set up here to extend a warm invitation to all guests.
The holy masters and students of the various Holy Heaven, who had been resting or hiding, all appeared, seeking out the location of their respective Holy Heaven and returning to their places.
Like a fleeting glimpse of flowers, countless powerful figures appeared, dazzling the onlookers.
News also poured in.
"It's said that the one from the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven has broken through another realm; it seems no one can rival him in this competition."
" The Fairy Ruoxue of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven actually married a reclusive Holy Clan. The news was kept very secret, and we only found out now. It is said that she has given birth to a Qilin child, which is why she missed this competition. But the future... is hard to say."
" Wang Dai certainly stole the show at the exchange meeting a few days ago."
"I've heard that there seems to be some unusual activity in the Primordial Holy Heaven?"
"It seems so. They say the head of the Supreme Institute, who was lost for over a hundred years, has been found... but that's a joke."
" The Ten Saints of Great Void Holy Heaven seem unchanged this year? As expected of the Ten Saints, they are truly formidable. I heard they had several dark horses among their newcomers this year, but in the end, no one could shake those ten."
"After all, it's one of the top three Holy Heaven."
"..."
Bustling and noisy.
Noisy and bustling.
"Alas... It's a pity that Junior Brother Su and Junior Sister Nangong cannot witness such a grand occasion."
In the position of True Martial Holy Heaven, someone suddenly sighed softly, expressing the thoughts of many, causing some to fall silent, but also igniting the conversation of many others.
"I never expected Junior Brother Su to be from the Su Household of Sword Ruins. There are many affairs in the clan. The Su Household's Saint Realm Ancestor has come out of seclusion and summoned all members of the Su Lineage to determine the position of Saint Son."
"With Junior Brother Su's talent, he probably won't be the Holy Son of the Holy Clan next time we meet... That's a good thing, isn't it?"
"Is this Junior Sister Nangong's first time participating in the Ten Institutes Grand Competition? I remember she and Junior Brother Su entered the academy together. It's understandable that Junior Brother Su wanted to return to Sword Ruins to compete for the position of Holy Son, but what about Junior Sister Nangong?"
"I do know that," a student said with a faint smile, though his tone was tinged with envy. "Junior Sister Nangong hasn't emerged from seclusion yet. She must have gained a lot in the Vast Sea Secret Realm. Her master directly declined the invitation to the Ten Institutes Grand Competition on her behalf."
"How enviable..."
These words resonated deeply with the others.
"It's normal that I didn't come. If I could gain so much from the Vast Sea Secret Realm, I wouldn't come either."
"There will be another Ten Institutes Grand Competition anyway, so one more won't make a difference."
Some couldn't help but shake their heads in regret. "It's a pity that our two most outstanding new talents this Holy Heaven won't be able to participate in this competition. Otherwise, it would have shown the other Holy Heaven just how amazing our True Martial Holy Heaven's new students are."
"That's... what a pity."
at the same time.
The abode of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
Almost all the holy masters who could attend the Ten Institutes Grand Competition came this time.
Those who couldn't come... almost all died.
In the last great battle, many holy masters betrayed the empire. Although those who left were all people with ulterior motives, it still severely damaged the Primordial Holy Heaven, which has not yet recovered. There are very few holy masters left on the scene.
Fortunately, Bai Wuya also arrived.
But the atmosphere on the field wasn't very good.
" Bai Wuya, it's been many years since I last saw you. Rumors circulated that you, old man, didn't have much time left. Now it seems those rumors were wrong."
A disdainful sneer rang out, and everyone looked toward the doorway, where an old man in a golden robe strode in.
Compared to Bai Wuya's simplicity and old age, he was quite robust, with a physique no different from that of a middle-aged man, except for his white hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which indicated that he was no longer young.
Bai Wuya looked at the newcomer, and even the usually good-tempered old man let out a cold laugh.
"You're not dead, so how could I be? Even if you were to die, I probably still wouldn't!"
