198: C198 Unlimited Potential

C198 Unlimited Potential

The more the game goes on, the more potential the chosen contestants have. Each of them had a high chance of becoming the future stars of the continent. Some of them could even reach the realm that mortals and cultivators dreamed of - - ascending to immortality.

Su Chen wasn't unfamiliar with the term 'immortal', and he was very familiar with it. In the Central Plains, it was an ethereal and dreamlike term. But in the Immortal God Continent, it truly existed. The so-called mortal cultivation was to continuously break through the shackles of the human body through cultivation. It allowed one to comprehend the Great Dao of the Heaven and Earth and use the power of the Heaven and Earth. Become It was an extremely powerful existence.

With a flip of his hand, he could turn the clouds into rain. This was the true portrayal of a deity.

Perhaps there were also strong and weak Divine Immortals, just like Undying King and Zither Demon whom Su Chen had met in Ferocious Beast Forest. They should be able to enter the Divine Immortal realm, but they were certainly no stronger than Black Snake Old Ancestor, who had been cultivating for thousands of years. Furthermore, the terrifying existence that was sleeping under the energy vein of Black Snake Old Ancestor's cave... It was unknown what realm he had reached.

Su Chen was only a Profound Rank warrior, and he still had a long way to go before reaching the Immortal God. Of course, he didn't know what the Divine Immortal World was like. Perhaps it was just like the human world, it was divided into three different worlds.

The competition in the next two days was unusually exciting. Most of the people Su Chen knew had passed the competition.

For example, Qing Ye, who possessed unfathomable strength, had fought fifty rounds with his opponent using a green robe's mystical technique, and had won in the end.

The peerlessly beautiful cold beauty, Ice God Hua Yue, had even used her talent to the extreme. The terrifying heavenly lightning, the ice that sealed all things, beat her opponent until she was unable to retaliate at all. In the end, she could only die with hatred.

The other dozens of cultivators who had won also all had special abilities. It was hard to tell the depth of each person's abilities, and the final match would be even more intense. After all, they were the elites of the Blue Snow Academy's younger generation, and their strength wasn't much weaker than the elites of the big sects.

The match of 28 people ended in three days. In the end, another 12 people won. Because the fight was too intense, both of them were seriously injured and could only be eliminated.

Out of the 12 people, six of them were selected. It just so happened that they only needed the last elimination match. Of course, if there was a situation where both sides suffered heavy losses in these matches, the school was not worried, as they had some very talented backup students... Those students who had performed well in the fifth elimination round, but were unable to defeat their opponents due to their opponents being too strong.

Faang Xiu was one of them. His opponent, Xiao Yih, was terrifyingly strong.

Before the final elimination round, the students had two days to rest and adjust their condition. Similarly, the students did not know who their contestant was. The contestant would be chosen by drawing lots before the competition.

The inner city of Free City was bustling with activity. There were tall buildings everywhere. It could be seen from afar. It was as if they could not see the end of the buildings. Wide bluestone streets extended to all parts of the city. They were like jade strips under the sunlight. They flickered with moving brilliance.

The road was bustling with people. There were all kinds of goods from all over the continent. As long as one had money, they might even be able to get the feathers of a phoenix.

This was a city where powerful people lived. As long as one had strength, they could enjoy everything.

As usual, Su Chen did not practice nervously before the competition. Instead, he chose to relax. In his opinion, things like duels and competitions... The state of mind was very important. The only thing he could do was to keep a relaxed heart. Only then would he be able to reach his best state in the competition.

In terms of mental state, it was sometimes more important than strength.

It was just like how a weak beauty could easily defeat a powerful man. What they relied on was not strength, but psychological temptation.

A scheming person was much more terrifying than a brave person.

Walking out of a weapon shop, Yu Huan had a brand new Elemental Staff in her hand. This magic staff was made by a famous blacksmith in the continent, and it was worth a thousand Immortal Coin. But to Su Chen and Yu Huan, this little bit of money was nothing. The Beast Bead and immortal grass that Su Chen had could be sold for a good price.

This Elemental Staff was entirely fiery red, and there were even exquisite patterns on it. There was a top grade Tier 5 fire Beast Bead on the tip of the staff. That was Su Chen taking it out himself and letting the workers install it. With the help of this Fire Beast Bead, the magic power that the Elemental Staff could gather would be even more powerful. The power of the Elemental Magic Spell could also be increased by a level.

Aaron and the others didn't follow them today. When they came, they were like three annoying lightbulbs, purely ruining the atmosphere.

"Chirp! Chirp!" The Rouxue was as lively as usual, jumping around between Su Chen and Yu Huan's shoulders. Did it take out some spiritual herbs to eat? If people who knew what was good for them saw these spiritual herbs... They would probably be shocked.

What the Rouxue ate were all very rare Top Quality Spiritual Grass, such as purple-gold ginseng, flame Divine Grass, snow Lingzhi, and so on. Such expensive immortal herbs were all eaten by her as snacks.

Ever since the Rouxue came out of seclusion, its figure had not changed much. However, its fire-red fur had become even more vivid. Su Chen knew that the real color of her hair wasn't fiery red. Instead, it was fiery-red. It was golden like gold, just to avoid attracting attention. Su Chen had allowed the Rouxue to use the second stage's fiery red fur.

Occasionally, Su Chen even saw the Rouxue's fur slowly turn from golden to green like divine jade. This might be her fourth stage.

With the help of the Dragon Essence Grass in her body, the cultivation of the Rouxue could be said to be progressing at a tremendous pace. This Dragon Essence Grass was indeed worthy of being called a peerless spiritual herb by Black Snake Old Ancestor. Until now, the Rouxue had only absorbed half of it. If he absorbed all of it, he didn't know how far he could advance.

Su Chen and Yu Huan walked together. Sometimes, an inexplicable pain would emerge in their hearts. Sometimes, he even felt that he treated Yu Huan so well because she was Yu Yue's shadow. In a sense, he thought of Yu Huan as Yu Yue. He wanted to make up for the eternal pain that was hidden in his heart.

Yu Yue's death was his eternal pain. He would rather die ten thousand times than let Yu Yue get hurt in the slightest.

But he could not do it. His heart was bleeding forever. Although he did not show it, the pain in his heart could not be described with any words.1

Every time he saw Yu Huan's cheerful figure, Su Chen's eyes would sparkle with a gentle light. He wanted to use his life to protect this girl forever.

He wanted to deceive himself! But sometimes, deceiving oneself could make his life easier. Why not?

"When this competition ends and I settle Yu Huan down, I must get up and find that legendary Soul Summoning Flag!" Su Chen clenched his hand tightly, and his bones made a faint sound.

If he could not bear to part with it, he would sink deeper and deeper.

Therefore, sometimes he had to learn to be willing to do what he should do.

Yu Huan was like a quagmire, trapping Su Chen. If he did not leave quickly, he might sink into it forever one day.

After all, Yu Huan was Yu Huan, and she would never be Yu Yue!

The last six matches were the most intense, and it would take three days. Two matches a day. On the first day of the matches, the dueling ground was filled with people, and it was so crowded that not even a drop of water could leak out. Now, there was no way to stop the crazy crowd, because everyone who came to watch the competition was a powerful person. They could not afford to offend anyone, so the school could only arrange as many places as possible for the audience.

In two days, dozens of tall platforms that could accommodate five thousand people were set up outside the fighting stage. For some of the nobles who had rushed over after hearing the rumors to watch. In the sky, densely packed cultivators floated above, and there were martial artists flying in the air. There were cultivators riding immortal swords, and there were also Beast Knight sitting on flying beasts...

The scene was extremely spectacular and lively, as if an unprecedented feast was being held here.

The two headmasters of the academy stood on a stone platform in the middle of the competition stage. The loud voice of the headmasters with black hair immediately silenced the noisy scene.

The headmaster of Blue Snow Academy did not look old at all. Instead, he looked like a middle-aged man. However, the steady aura emitted from his body gave people the illusion that he had existed for countless years.

"From today onwards, the final selection will be held. The six winners will represent the Blue Snow Academy to participate in the Continental Cultivator Competition. I hope that everyone will continue to work hard. The academy's honor will be won by all of you..."

The principal didn't speak much. He seemed to know that others didn't like to hear this. What he really wanted was to watch the competition. After saying a few words, he announced the start of the competition.

The first contestant of the competition was surprisingly Green Jade. He came to the competition stage and drew lots to choose his opponent.

His opponent was an Eastern Beast Tamer. Su Chen wasn't unfamiliar with this Beast Tamer. His strength was unfathomable. The blue winged Divine Leopard underneath his feet was also extraordinary. It was a beast that could evolve into a spirit beast.

The Eastern Beast Tamer was different from the Western Beast Knight. The power of the Beast Knight was the power of the Swordsman. It used combat power. However, many Beast Tamers possessed the strength of cultivators or warriors, and they used true essence energy and true qi.

What was different from cultivators was that they also had a mount other than magical equipment. This mount could be said to be his most powerful magical equipment.

In a sense, beast tamers of the same level were even stronger than cultivators. However, their numbers weren't many. To ride a beast, one needed to have a special talent to begin with. Moreover, their cultivation was harder than cultivators, so it was normal for them to be stronger than them.

In history, not many beast tamers and beast knights could become Beast Gods, not only because their cultivation was difficult, but also because they needed a godly beast whose strength was comparable to a god.

Facing the powerful beast tamers, Green Jade's expression was as calm as an ancient well. She held the Green Immortal Sword in her hand and confronted the beast tamers.
