Chapter 2656: Chapter 2657: Young Master Situ
However, the selection process among the scattered people is much more arbitrary; it’s just a chaotic battle!
No matter how many participants there are, ultimately only ten cultivators will emerge victorious. Of course, this is all in accordance with the orders of the Demon God’s Hall, allowing the scattered people to participate. Moreover, the hall has sent a special Emissary to oversee the process, without which the tribe might entirely ignore these scattered people!
Yet, given a slim chance of success and the high risk of life in such chaos, why would Demon Race cultivators, who are not fools, participate in this chaotic battle? But without participants, wouldn’t the hall’s Emissary be left in an awkward position?
Don’t be fooled by the title of Emissary; it holds a higher status than the clan leader of the tribe. It’s akin to the role of an imperial envoy! Therefore, to align with the Demon God’s Hall, the tribe has specifically arranged rewards: each warrior from the Demon Race participating in the chaotic battle receives a reward! The reward is the exemption from one year of Crystal Stone tributes!
Moreover, as one moves up in the rankings, the rewards increase significantly! For example, those in the top hundred positions are exempted from five years of Crystal Stone tributes! Those in the top ten are exempt from ten years, and there are also other resources provided as rewards!
In this manner, the number of participants naturally increases. Of course, the numbers are strictly controlled. Only young cultivators who have reached at least the Fifth Level of the Earth Martial Realm are eligible to participate!
Those whose realms don’t meet the criteria, or whose age is considerably above the limit, cannot participate!
Thus, there aren’t that many young people who truly meet the conditions.
Today is precisely the day to determine the eligibility of participants in the chaos. When Ye Luo arrives at the tribe square, it is already crowded!
Inside the square, it’s mostly young people lined up in long queues, which probably number at least in the thousands!
Moreover, this is only one tribe. So one could say that the population under the Eastern Demon God Temple’s control could likely be astronomical!
The Demon Race has never understood the concept of order; when Ye Luo arrives, the scene is in utter chaos, with some lined-up members directly clashing with one another.
At the front of the queues are several middle-aged men. Ye Luo has seen them a few times; they are Elders of the tribe’s Royal Family, responsible for selecting disciples suitable for the chaotic battle.
These Elders possess modest cultivation, minimally at the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, requiring only a simple test to discern the disciples’ cultivation level.
Ye Luo stands at the end of the tribe with Ling’er, only to be met with a few unfriendly stares, naturally all focused on Ling’er.
The Demon Race’s greed for women far surpasses other races. Ling’er has always kept a low profile, not interacting much with other Demon men. She herself is a Spiritual Body, possessing a bit more vitality than Demon women, with naturally remarkable looks, making her quite attractive to Demon men.
"Kid, you don’t belong here; move aside quickly, don’t interrupt my encounter with this beautiful lady!"
A young man from the Demon Race immediately walks over, speaking to Ye Luo but keeping his gaze fixed on Ling’er.
Ling’er is bewildered by the sudden scene, having never encountered such a situation before, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
"Humph, if you want to win the favor of this beautiful lady, you need strength. Do you think you have what it takes?"
Another young man approaches.
The Demon Race is bolder compared to other races, especially toward women they fancy. Once interested, they pursue aggressively and treat rivals mercilessly!
Subsequently, several more young men come up, seemingly ready to fight over Ling’er but completely ignoring Ye Luo!
These young men are the elite of the tribe, each possessing the talent of the Heavenly Martial Realm, considered supreme geniuses, each has the potential to enter the top hundred!
"Esteemed lady, it’s now your decision on how we might win your favor!"
At this point, a young man arrives beside Ling’er, politely bows to her, and speaks calmly.
Hearing this, the other young men gather around as well.
Ling’er blinks, though not experienced, she is clever and whimsical.
"Want to win my favor? It’s quite simple; you must make it into the tribe’s top ten!" Ling’er states with a raised chin.
Upon hearing this, the young men are momentarily stunned. Originally, it was merely a jest, with the Demon youth intending to tease her, but ended up in a position hard to withdraw from!
Especially with many onlookers around, if the young men don’t agree to Ling’er’s demands, it would reflect poorly on them!
Yet the top ten is beyond their reach!
At the very least, entering the top ten requires a cultivation level of at least the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm. These fellows have just broken through, with the highest among them only at the second level!
Besides, these so-called geniuses have strong ties to the Royal Family, having boosted their realms through abundant resources, lacking genuine strength comparable to their realms!
"Humph, a bunch of weaklings, lacking strength, yet wanting to pursue this beautiful lady?"
A cold snort sounded from behind the crowd, followed by the crowd parting a path as a young man with a sullen face slowly approached.
The several young men were ready to curse, but as soon as they saw who it was, they immediately fell silent, fear flickering in their eyes.
"So, did I say anything wrong?" The young man walks over, scrutinizing the young men with scorn in his eyes.
"Since Young Master Situ says so, how could we dare contradict?"
The young men show embarrassed smiles.
Ye Luo squints; this young man possesses not ordinary cultivation, likely at the fourth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, maybe higher! Within the tribe, he’s considered a top-tier presence. Not to mention among the young, possibly ranks among the older generation.
Ye Luo had heard of him before; when the selection began, he had heard there were three outstanding talents within the tribe, surpassing even the Royal Family’s geniuses! In the top ten, these three were certainly included.
This Young Master Situ was one of them!
"Humph, now get lost quickly!" Young Master Situ snorted coldly.
Although feeling utterly humiliated, none of these young men dared challenge Young Master Situ. They left sullenly.
