The battle of heaven's competition had finally arrived under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people.
A decree was sent out from Emperor Heart City that the internal selection of the Great Courtyard Empire would be held outside the imperial capital.
Many news had spread the day before the beginning of the heaven's competition.
First of all, there were a total of 4628 participants from all over the Grand Court Empire participating in this Heavenly Selection Battle. That was to say, this year's heaven's chosen children were much more competitive than the previous years.
Secondly, the first selection would change from a chaotic battle to a deer hunt in the wilderness.
Why was he chasing a deer in the wilderness?
It was to ask the almighty cultivators to create a desert enchantment outside the city. All the participating geniuses rushed into the boundless desert to chase the deer. Each of them carried two tokens. One was an identity token, and the other was an imprint token. The identity token signified the owner's identity, and the imprint token could help the cultivator teleport out of the boundary in an instant. However, after teleporting out, the cultivator was deemed to have admitted defeat.
After the time limit was set, cultivators with sixty or more tokens would pass the first round of selection.
Of course, the most important change was that in the past, the ministers in charge of supervising the selection battle were all the ministers in charge of the Ministry of War, while this year, it was the Prime Minister, Zhou Kongtong, who oversaw the battle.
Zhou Kongtong held an extremely prestigious position within the imperial city. After all, he was an existence that stood above everyone else in the entire Grand Court Empire. The Prime Minister's Estate located in Yu Yudao was known as Yu Yudao's most untouchable influence.
In the past, the minister of war had never been able to match up to the prime minister.
That also excited the geniuses participating in the Heaven's Selection because even if they couldn't break through, as long as they could enter Zhou Kongtong's eyes and get recruited by him, they were no weaker than the three peak powers.
And after knowing that the person supervising the selection was the current Prime Minister, all the elders of the various powers had instructed their disciples to perform well in the desert as they fought for their lives. It would be the best if they could get the prime minister's green eyes.
One had to know that not only was the current emperor obsessed with cultivation, he also trusted Zhou Kongtong quite a bit. He even closed up multiple times for Zhou Kongtong to temporarily become a Regent.
Although Zhou Kongtong had a different surname to the royal family, he was still able to speak highly of His Majesty's younger brother, Shangguan Xue Ye.
"..."
Three quarters of an hour later.
The outside of the imperial city was already packed with spectators. Even the normally solemn and dignified city walls were now filled with people.
The leaders of the major forces all came to watch the fight to cheer for their own disciples.
No matter which power was able to obtain the Great Courtyard Empire's resources and nurture them with all of their might, their overall strength would definitely soar in leaps and bounds.
Moreover, in every heaven's competition, only three heaven chosen children would be chosen, so the forces that had the heaven chosen children would not only obtain substantial benefits, but would also enjoy unparalleled honor.
Zhou Kongtong, who wore an azure embroidered robe, stood on the city wall and looked disdainfully at the thousands of disciples participating in the competition below the city wall. His green eyes were filled with indifference.
Although these geniuses were all from all over the Great Courtyard Empire, there were very few who were able to enter his eyes.
He knew that after chasing the deer in the desert, there would only be around a hundred or even dozens of disciples left. As for the others, they were just trash.
He had never cared about how well the losers performed. He only knew that the winner was the loser, and the loser was the bandit.
This was the result of his many years of experience of floating in the sea of eunuchs.
A person only has success and failure, how can there be any extravagant failures, and miserable successes?
Success was success, and failure was failure.
He would only add the green eyes of those who had passed the desert deer chasing contestant to the total number of contestants. As for those who had been eliminated, he would not even spare a glance for them.
"Steward Wang, after you."
Zhou Kongtong nodded towards a red robed eunuch beside him.2
The steward who had been serving the emperor for a long time immediately bowed. Then, his eyes began to shine. He formed a seal with his hands and slowly activated a desert enchantment that he had built a few days ago outside the city gates.
When Steward Wang opened the barrier, Zhou Kongtong used the spirit energy on the side and said loudly, "Everyone, I believe you all are very familiar with the rules of this battle. Each person had two tokens. With a time limit of five days, whoever could obtain at least sixty tokens at the end of the allotted time would be able to pass the selection and participate in the finals under the personal observation of the current emperor. Now, everyone should immediately enter the barrier and battle selection will officially begin! "
As Zhou Kongtong finished speaking, a wave of clamorous noise immediately arose outside the city walls.
Countless cultivators and locusts seemed to be flying into the desert enchantment in the air.
Not too long after, the previously crowded area became a bit empty.
Many spectators who had been squeezed to the point where they didn't even have time to stand up finally let out a long breath and began to move towards the spacious area.
The spectators in the city also rushed out of the city.
This battle of selection could be said to affect the hearts of everyone in the capital, not to mention those elders who had sent their clan members all the way here to participate.
Even Chen Leyu and the others were mixed in the crowd and were watching the battle.
As the four thousand competitors rushed into the barrier, it immediately closed. A gigantic crystal shield rose into the air, and the situation inside the barrier was projected onto the crystal shield.
Even the Hidden Dragon Sect had methods to project images from illusions into the world of illusion, let alone the vast Grand Courtyard Empire.
With these giant crystal shields that blotted out the sky, the people inside and outside the city could see everything.
"..."
The desert: Deer Chasing Barrier, as far as the eye could see was an endless desert.
Four thousand contestants were randomly tossed into every corner of the boundless desert.
Chen Chang Ku was unluckier, the moment he landed he fell into the crowd.
The dozen or so participating disciples did not appear within a three meter radius, and there were even two people who appeared with their bodies pressed up against each other.
At such a close distance, most of the people jumped and dodged subconsciously. Only three or four people quickly launched their attacks, and from their bones, a fierce and aggressive force burst out.
Chen Chang He did not choose to fight them, but ran.
There was a rule for the heaven's competition: Dharma treasures and divine artifacts could not be used, so Chen Changsheng had to accumulate a lot of physical strength and use as little spiritual energy as possible.
Even if he managed to kill more than ten people, he would only get ten or twenty tokens. When the later stages of the game get fatter and fatter, he might be able to kill one person and get ten or twenty tokens.
Since the rules were different, the tactics were naturally different.
