Chapter 190: Attention of Numerous Parties

As the night got darker, a red-clothed man stood on the wall of a large city in the north. The gentle breeze lifted his sleeves, flamboyantly fluttering.

There were four men and one woman standing behind him. One of the men looked at the six names that were rising in rankings on the jade tablet and said in a hoarse voice: “Their names start jumping the moment it turns to night and the skyrocketing speed is extremely fast.”

“The one named Lou Mu Yan was the one who broke into the top fifty on the first day right.” The only woman among them said.

“Lou Mu Yan? They must have chosen the strategy of resting during the day and travelling at night to earn points.” The red-clothed man standing on the city wall played with the jade tablet in his hand with a hint of interest in his casual tone.

One of them furrowed their brows and said: “They’re too bold. Aren’t they afraid of encountering a large-sized Beast Tide? One must know, even us and Mo Ling’s group dare not go out in the middle of the night.”

“Their luck is very good. This kind of points advancement has lasted for eight days.” The man who had been silent the entire time said.

“Continue to pay attention to the trend of their points. If they advance into the top hundred, then that’ll be interesting.” The red-clothed man hopped down the city wall indifferently.

Tonight was another quiet night. No fun!

Above a large city in the east, stood a man who exuded a sense of pride, aloofness, and coolness.

He looked down at the jade tablet in his hand and murmured, “Not dead yet? Interesting.”

At the same time, in a castle in the core area of the competition space.

More than a dozen people were sitting in a large room. There was a wall made of Spar in front of them. At this time, images were being reflected on the wall—precisely the situation of the contestants in the competition field right now.

When this special space was discovered back then, several Almighty spent hundreds of years setting up an Array, among which was an Array within an Array where images took shape and could be reflected on the specially made Spar walls. Except for Class 3 danger areas and within refuge cities, the situation everywhere else could be seen.

This was also so that it was made convenient for the Six Major Sects during each Tournament to select pupils with outstanding talents or special abilities.

When the screen shifted to a large plain, everyone saw a stunning young woman rushing towards the leading Tier 6 Demonic Beast behind the Beast Tide.

Her movements were like a ghost, and her fists were comparable to Black Iron. Fists bombarded one after another, and under the most primitive close-quarters combat, the loser was actually the Demonic Beast.

Among them, a red-haired and red-bearded old man’s eyes lit up, slapped his thigh, and said: “This girl’s body is already as strong as a Tier 6 Demonic Beast, what a good seedling!

He was an Elder of the Vast Mountain Sect among the Six Major Sects that specialised in body refining.

“She actually owns four high-level Spirit Pets. It seems that she’s a Spirit Beast Master! We want this girl.” A cyan-clothed elderly man stared at the Spirit Pets Lou Mu Yan released, his eyes filled with sharp light.

A Demonic Plant so rare it was hard to come by even in a thousand years, the descendant of a Cyan Luan, and even a Tier 6—this girl’s contracting talent was probably Heaven-defying. Their Spirit Tamers Sect definitely wouldn’t let go of such a genius.

A tall and thin middle-aged man sitting at the back kept his eyes fixed on Lou Mu Yan’s ten golden flying swords and narrowed his eyes, “I think she is best at swordsmanship. Look at her Magic Tool, it could be combined and separated and kills the enemy with sharpness. She’s more suitable for our Sword Sect.”

“Damned your mothers, didn’t you see that she has been using Arrays to lock the Demonic Beasts in the entire Beast Tide?” A ruddy elderly man among them stood up and pointed to a location and said: “Look, she can easily set up a Four Symbols Killing Array. She is best at Arrays, so naturally she should come to our Eight Extremes Sect.”

The Eight Extremes Sect mainly focused on Smithing and Arrays and had many pupils with talent in Arrays. It was rare to see such a young person with such strong Array attainments—he just wanted to go recruit her right now into the Sect.

“No, no.” An elegant-looking middle-aged man said with a gentle smile: “Did you not discover that the pills in her hands had not stopped? Such extravagance of devouring pills to replenish Elemental Energy to kill Demonic Beasts are only present in two possibilities. One is that her background is from an Alchemist Clan, or one, she’s an Alchemist herself.

“If she’s an Alchemist, our Medicine Sect will make a reservation first.” Then he added.

“Rubbish, you also know that it’s as difficult as ascending to the Heavens in finding a young pupil with talent in Arrays. It’s rare for me to meet one, don’t you all try to compete with me.”

“What do you mean? It’s not easy to find a good seedling with such a tough body, why should I let you?”

“I say that a little miss like her is more suitable to be a Spirit Beast Master.”

“…”

The several people instantly fought over Lou Mu Yan with red faces and crimson ears, no one wishing to let go of such a good seedling.

A white-haired elderly man with a calm expression, and eyes that were unwavering and unshaken, carrying a boundless deepness slowly said: “The preliminary round isn’t even over yet, aren’t you all too impatient? Whether she’s a Phoenix or a sparrow, we will know after a year’s time. What’s the use of you snatching for her now?’

Hearing the elderly man’s words the Elders of the Major Sects who were arguing also stopped.

That was true. It was useless for them to compete now. The selection of the Six Major Sects was from the last hundred people in the finals.

Of course, if this girl didn’t make it into the top hundred, they could also find a way to get her into the Sect. At the worst, she could just start as an Outer Pupil.

“There’s another most important point.” The white-haired old man knew clearly what these people were thinking, and after the room was silent, he continued: “She already attracted the attention of many talented Sword Masters of the generation from large countries. Whether she could live until the end is also a question. You should all save your energy.”

This girl was indeed really good. If she could successfully enter the top hundred, then they, the Heavenly Secret Palace, would definitely take her.

Seeing that the enthusiasm and light in many people’s eyes still hadn’t faded, the white-haired old man fell silent and hid the strange colour in his eyes as he said with a smile: “Although her talent is exceptional, but she learnt too many things. Learning was considered best when focusing on being proficient in something. Her future achievements may not necessarily be outstanding.”

After listening to his words, many people hesitated. When they thought about it carefully, she really did know too many things. This kind of talent could be considered Heaven-defying, but it was also because she knew too many things that she could be distracted. It was hard to say if she could be raised to become an Elite Pupil in the future.

However, the Elders of the Major Sects weren’t fools either to be shaken by the white-haired old man’s words. They decided to pay more attention to this girl in this year. If she really had the strength to advance into the top hundred of the finals, then they’ll definitely snatch her.

Sitting in the corner, a white-clothed man whose beauty was beyond a mortal looked at the lovely figure that was constantly flashing within the Beast Tide with a gentle gaze, the corners of his lips rising slightly.

“Woman, you really won’t let me down!”

Lou Mu Yan, who was using various means to kill Demonic Beasts in the Beast Tide furrowed her brows. Why did she always feel like she was being watched?

At this time, she didn’t know that her every move fell into the eyes of the old fellows from the Six Major Sects and that she had also entered the list of priorities to pay attention to of the Major Sects and many elite teams in this competition space.
