Chapter 1943: Chapter 1946: Officially Begins
The audit of the Sea Sacrifice Sect is extremely strict, and even those who merely hide their identities are killed on the spot as a precaution.
After killing over a hundred of the strongest among the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, those Martial Artists and demon gods on the plaza felt a chill in their hearts.
Especially when they looked at Cang Lang, many bore deep-seated fear.
All these people were slain by Cang Lang, even when several Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors attacked together, they were easily killed by Cang Lang.
That Sea King Ping Sheng didn’t even have to make a move; just one seed disciple, Cang Lang, slaughtered everyone.
This is also a show of force, demonstrating the overwhelming power of the Sea Sacrifice Sect, so the Martial Artists and demon gods present took heed.
Many of the Martial Artists and demon gods present are renowned figures, many are ancestors from various sects, naturally proud and arrogant.
But now seeing Cang Lang, a mere disciple with such strength, the Martial Artists and demon gods present all take heed and recognize the might of the Sea Sacrifice Sect.
"I’ve finished investigating everyone’s identities. Those trying to muddle through have been eliminated."
After auditing, Sea King Ping Sheng calmly said.
"Next up is the examination. You all should be aware of the rules of our Sea Sacrifice Sect, so there’s no need to repeat them one by one."
The recruitment tournament of the Sea Sacrifice Sect is held every certain period. If you pay even a little attention, you can understand the rules.
None of the people spoke; they continued to wait for Sea King Ping Sheng’s words.
"However, this time, there are some changes to the rules. Anyone who comes on stage and can consecutively defeat three disciples of the Sea Sacrifice Sect present will be considered to have passed this examination."
Sea King Ping Sheng said.
"Of course, after winning three matches in a row, you can continue fighting. The more Sea Sacrifice Sect disciples you defeat, the better your performance, and the higher your status upon joining the Sea Sacrifice Sect, possibly even becoming an elder, equal with me."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of many Martial Artists and demon gods lit up.
But more people showed little change in expression.
What Sea King Ping Sheng mentioned sounds easy, but in the history of the Sea Sacrifice Sect, few have joined and become elders.
Wanting to ascend to the skies in one step is not easy; even defeating three disciples to meet the examination requirements is incredibly difficult.
These seed disciples are almost extraordinarily powerful even among the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors.
Though not all of them have the capability to slaughter those halfway to the Heavenly Human Realm, they can be equal to such powerful figures.
Continuously defeating three people is exceedingly challenging.
Throughout the years, Martial Artists and demon gods above the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor have participated in the Sea Sacrifice Sect examination, and while the elimination rate isn’t as terrifying as outside, where it’s one in ten thousand, in reality, maybe one in ten can enter.
Moreover, this year’s examination is different from previous years, even more difficult than before.
Chu Feng recalls, according to Hai Shisi’s memory, the examination of the Sea Sacrifice Sect required defeating only two disciples to pass.
But this time the rules require defeating three, a terrifying increase in difficulty.
Three consecutive battles with little time to catch one’s breath; if injured in one battle, it will lead to great disadvantage in subsequent battles.
Many Martial Artists and demon gods understand this change in the rules, furrowing their brows at the increased difficulty of having to defeat one more Sect disciple.
But the rules of the Sea Sacrifice Sect’s recruitment tournament are naturally set by the Sea Sacrifice Sect.
For now, they have no choice but to comply.
After all, the dominance of the Sea Sacrifice Sect was evident from the extremely thorough examination, and failing to follow the rules leads only to death.
"Those called by their number should go on stage automatically."
Sea King Ping Sheng waved his hand, causing the plaza to spin, suddenly revealing an arena.
The plaza itself is a Spiritual Artifact which Sea King Ping Sheng can control to change.
The Martial Artists and demon gods standing on the plaza were all pushed back by a force to the foot of the arena.
At this time, a young Martial Artist’s Jade Talisman suddenly lit up.
This Jade Talisman represents someone’s number; those called first go on stage to challenge.
This young Martial Artist is a human; in the Canghai Star Domain, though sea creatures prevail, humans are not uncommon.
But speaking of humans, this young Martial Artist also bears some sea creature blood, using sea creature Martial Techniques.
"Is this person the Young Master of Honghai?"
Chu Feng saw this young Martial Artist come on stage, searched through Hai Shisi’s memory, and quickly recognized the young Martial Artist’s identity.
This young Martial Artist is named Young Master of Honghai, once from a small force in the Canghai Star Domain, the Honghai Sect’s Young Master. Later, the Honghai Sect was destroyed by the Linlang Dynasty; he was the only one who escaped, dedicating himself to cultivation.
Seeing the Young Master of Honghai come on stage, Chu Feng shook his head.
This Young Master of Honghai has no possibility of passing the examination.
Though the Young Master of Honghai has had luck, winning three consecutive matches is simply impossible for him.
Whether he can defeat one disciple of the Sea Sacrifice Sect is even uncertain.
Chu Feng’s gaze fell upon the arena as the Young Master of Honghai came on stage and selected the Sea Sacrifice Sect disciple with the weakest aura as his opponent.
The enemies for the three consecutive battles are chosen by those participating in the examination on stage.
However, selecting based on aura doesn’t necessarily mean choosing the weakest.
The strength of a person’s aura doesn’t represent their actual power, and some Sea Sacrifice Sect disciples may deliberately suppress their aura to feign weakness.
The Sea Sacrifice Sect disciple chosen by the Young Master of Honghai came on stage, with a cold smile on his lips, instantly attacking.
This Sea Sacrifice Sect disciple attacked mercilessly from the start, quickly gaining the upper hand.
Within ten rounds, the Young Master of Honghai was easily defeated and thrown off the stage.
The defeat of the Young Master of Honghai was utterly humiliating; he was no match for the Sea Sacrifice Sect disciple.
"The Young Master of Honghai couldn’t even defeat one?"
The Martial Artists and demon gods around the arena saw the Young Master of Honghai being tossed off the stage, discussing among themselves; the Young Master of Honghai was somewhat renowned.
Now, on stage, he couldn’t even defeat a disciple of the Sea Sword Sect; this was beyond their expectations.
Though they’ve heard of the difficulty of the Sea Sacrifice Sect examination, only now have they truly witnessed it.
Winning three consecutive matches counts as success, but now it seems defeating even one is incredibly challenging.
