At the same time, they were also betting on whether those top-notch geniuses could enter the prodigy roll. They were also betting on the rankings of those super geniuses. This was a rare opportunity.
“Which of the four great sects and ten great families do you think has the strength to enter the prodigy roll?”
” 1 think that the six young masters can enter the Prodigy Roll. No one can compete for the Prodigy Roll of the six young masters.”
“The Green Jade Sect should have two spots.”
” Sky Cloud Sect should be doing well this time. I heard Li Lingtian is a disciple of Sky Cloud Sect.”
“I think there are disciples from the Wen family who can enter the prodigy roll.”

Various speculations were circulating in Sky Dragon City. In a short period of time, some top geniuses were pushed to the forefront. However, Li Lingtian had lost some popularity among these popular figures.
This way, Li Lingtian felt much more relaxed as he did not have to be the center of attention wherever he went.
However, it was a grave mistake for him to think that way. Li Lingtian’s reputation had already spread throughout Sky Dragon City. Although he was not as good as the Martial Arts Grandmaster super-geniuses, he had become the idol of all the young ladies in Sky Dragon City and the object of worship for some geniuses.
This was because Li Lingtian was only a Warrior Spirit. More importantly, he was only sixteen years old and had a bright future ahead of him.
Even though they had never met Li Lingtian, they could not be too bad thinking about the son of Li Suifeng and Qin Susu, the number one beauty of the Qin family.
While Sky Dragon City was preparing for the competition, the other empires and mysterious super families were also watching Sky Dragon City.
It was even more so for the Southern Mountain Empire and Tian Jin Empire. If the geniuses of the Sky Dragon Empire were too heaven-defying, they would become a threat to the other empires.
They did not want to see such a thing happen.
However, Sky Dragon City was also on guard. Sky Dragon Empire’s 500,000 strong army was guarding Sky Dragon City. All the city gates were closed, and the experts who entered the city would be strictly checked. This would also give Sky Dragon City an additional layer of protection.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Drum sounded nine times, and the earth-shaking drumbeats shook the entire 6,000 square kilometers of Heavenly Dragon City.
All the warriors knew that this was the biggest event in Sky Dragon City. They were all grinding their fists and rubbing their palms. Although they didn’t have the chance to compete, they could still see the geniuses they admired competing for the prodigy roll.
Some of the top families and forces had also bet on this competition, hoping to become famous in the arena.
No matter which clan or sect it was, as long as they had a genius disciple, they could raise the reputation of the sect and clan.
The drumbeats continued for a long time. Countless martial artists rushed toward the Heavenly Dragon Square. The Heavenly Dragon Square was a hundred kilometers wide, but at this time, it was already crowded with people.
No one who came here dared to cause trouble because there were patrol teams everywhere. As long as they caused trouble, they would be disqualified from the competition. Moreover, it might even implicate their families and sects.
In the center of the Heavenly Dragon Square, there was a spacious open space. There were countless seats on the open space, and there were more than a thousand of them.
Many of the seats were already occupied by martial artists. There were also many martial artists on the viewing platform. These martial artists were either martial arts grandmasters or high-ranking members of the empire.
As time passed, more and more people gathered on the steps. The empty seats on the empty ground gradually became fewer and fewer. Countless martial artists who participated in the competition sat in their seats.
Out of the Sky Cloud Sect’s 16 martial artists, nine of them were sitting on the empty seats, while the other seven were on the audience’s steps.
Moreover, Li Lingtian and Li Suifeng were also on the audience stage. As the Marquis of North Peace, his father, Li Chongyang, was now Duke of North Peace. His status was even more extraordinary.
Li Lingtian was resting on his seat with his eyes closed while Li Xiaoxiao was leaning against him.
There were countless court officials on the stairs. Li Lingtian recognized a few of them as he had seen them in the main hall the last time.
However, most of them were Martial Arts Grandmasters. They were either the elders of a super family clan or the elders of a sect.
There were rules for this step. Each of the top ten families had ten seats, and the four super forces also had ten seats. As for the other families and forces, they had to fight for their positions based on their strength.
Moreover, on this stage, the officials of the imperial court were also existences at the level of dukes and marquises.
There were only seven seats in Sky Cloud Sect. Li Lingtian was supposed to wait downstairs for the competition but as the Sky Pavilion Master and the marquis ‘son, there was no need for him to do so.
Not only him, but the genius disciples of other families and sects were also on this.
Li Lingtian scanned the steps with his Divine Perception and was shocked. Martial Arts Grandmaster powerhouses were everywhere and there were many familiar faces such as the Four Major Sects, the Ten Major Families, and the leaders who had entered Hidden Dragon Island in the past.
As time passed, more and more people gathered on the steps, and there were only a dozen seats left.
“His Majesty has arrived!”
A sharp voice was heard. Li Lingtian could not be more familiar with this voice. It was the eunuch in the palace.
As the voice fell, a huge beast carriage slowly drove over. The person pulling the carriage was actually a fifth-tier demon beast, and the demon beast emitted a shocking demonic qi.
The beast carriage stopped at the bottom of the stairs. A dozen palace maids escorted Nangong Haoming out. Beside Nangong Haoming was a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
The woman looked familiar. Li Lingtian recalled that the middle-aged woman was the Empress, Nangong Mingyue’s mother.
After Nangong Haoming and the Empress got off the carriage, two young men got on the carriage. They were the First Prince Nangong Jinghao and the Second Prince Nangong Jinglin.
“Long live the Emperor.”
In the square, all the martial artists stood up and bowed. Although the strong were respected, the Emperor of Sky Dragon Empire could be supported by the four great sects.
The courtiers and some martial artists on the steps also stood up and bowed.
Only a few Martial Arts Grandmasters cupped their fists lightly. Martial Arts Grandmasters were Grandmasters, so naturally, they would not bow to an Emperor.
” It’s the once-in-a-decade Prodigy Roll Competition again. This is to test the progress and achievements of Sky Dragon Empire’s disciples. You are all the future of Sky Dragon Empire.”
“I’m just watching the battle, judging and presiding. The four sects and the ten families will do it for me.”
Nangong Hao knew his limits. Although he was the emperor, he couldn’t make so many talented disciples submit to him. He could only let a few super sects and families take charge.
After he finished speaking, the representatives of Sky Cloud Sect, Green Jade Sect, Misty Pavilion, Bright Sect, Wen family, Yang family, Zhou family, Tang family, and other powerful families stood up.
These representatives were all martial arts grandmasters. They represented their families and sects. They were also the judges and supervisors for this time.
There were a total of four major sects and ten great clans. There was also a Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Imperial Palace. Fifteen Martial Arts Grandmasters were judges to ensure the fairness of the competition.
In fact, there were tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at such a genius competition. No one dared to cheat because it was a competition between a Martial King and a Martial Arts Grandmaster. The winner could be seen at a glance. Naturally, they had no chance to cheat.
“The top ten genius disciples of the Green Jade Sect.”
” Misty Pavilion’s top ten genius disciples.”
” The top ten genius disciples of the Hao Ming Sect.”
“Sky Cloud Sect’s top ten genius disciples.”
“The Yang Family’s top ten genius disciples.”
” The top ten genius disciples of the Wen family.”

Next were the participating families and sects. All the participating families and sects would appear at the side. The disciples of the families or sects whose names were called would walk onto the stage..
