Chapter 100: Puppet Screening
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From ancient times until now, since the start of the legacy competition, there had never been a situation where one could ‘forfeit’. All legacy disciples had to participate.
This was the rule!
This rule was actually changed by the legacy competition this time. The legacy disciples of the twelve peaks could actually choose to forfeit. This was unexpected by everyone present.
This meant that the legacy competition this time would be extremely dangerous.
“They are even allowing us to back out.”
Tang Binshun took a deep breath, his gaze very solemn, “Master was right. The danger of this legacy competition will far exceed the last time.”
Jin Lin nodded solemnly.
In the surroundings, many legacy disciples who had experienced the last legacy competition had very serious expressions. They perked up. They were indeed shocked.
“I’ll give you ten seconds.” The azure dragon said.
“Junior Brother.” Fan Zhongxing said to Qi Ming, “Do you want to forfeit?”
Qi Ming shrugged. “I don’t think so. Although this Daoist Azure Dragon said that we can forfeit, he didn’t say what punishment we will receive after we forfeit.”
“Moreover…”
“There are so many people watching. It’s a little embarrassing to directly forfeit in front of everyone.”
“Haha…” Fan Zhong smiled. “Junior Brother, you’re right.”
Honestly, if Qi Ming forfeited and returned to the Falling Cloud Peak, Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan would be shocked to the point of forfeiting when they heard that Qi Ming had not even participated in the legacy competition.
It would be really embarrassing.
As their Uncle-Master, how pathetic would he be?
In the floating hall of the twelve peaks.
“This is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
“They even created the rule of forfeiting. I feel that this legacy competition will be very interesting.”
“Hundreds of legacy disciples died last time, we can’t let the same thing happen again.”
“That’s right.”
“They’re all good seedlings. They can’t die like this.”
“…”
Everyone was discussing.
Ten seconds passed.
None of the legacy disciples abstained.
“Very good.”
Daoist Azure Dragon was very satisfied, “As expected of a legacy disciple of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Your temperament is not bad and you were not frightened by this little danger.”
“Otherwise, I can only strip you of your status as legacy disciples.”
Everyone was shocked.
“There’s indeed a punishment.”
Fan Zhong smacked his lips, “It’s a little ruthless to directly strip one of his identity as a legacy disciple. Junior Brother, your guess was right.”
“We were just lucky.” Qi Ming replied.
“Next, the first round of the legacy competition: Puppet Screening.”
Daoist Azure Dragon began to announce the rules and content of the legacy competition, “The content and goal of the first round is because this competition is indeed very dangerous. Without enough strength to participate, it’s very likely that you will die.”
“No matter what, you are legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Your status is not low. You are a part of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Some haven’t grown up yet and might become the pillars of the sect in the future.”
“We can’t let you fall into a hopeless situation.”
“The first round of screening is to avoid unnecessary deaths.”
“As for the screening content, you will be sent to an independent puppet space. In this puppet space, different puppet enemies will appear. The lowest is at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. You need to defeat these puppet enemies. As long as you pass and win, you will pass the screening and obtain the qualifications to participate.”
“Do you understand?”
Daoist Azure Dragon shouted.
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
“…”
The legacy disciples of the twelve peaks replied.
“Okay.” The azure dragon nodded, “The screening begins now.”
“Teleport!”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!
The next moment.
1,230 green pillars of light descended and enveloped all the legacy disciples present, including Qi Ming. With a flash of light, all the green pillars of light disappeared.
All the legacy disciples were teleported away.
Immediately after.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!!
In the sky, projections appeared one after another. There were a total of 1230 of them, and they floated in the sky above the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.
Moreover, the figures of legacy disciples appeared in each projection.
This was broadcasting the situation of the 1,230 legacy disciples in real time.
“Junior Brother.”
Lu Qingyan swept her spiritual sense and found Qi Ming. Her gaze landed on his projection, “If this puppet screening segment is only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm, he should be able to deal with it, right?”
The screening test had already begun.
The elders of the twelve peaks were all paying attention to the situation of the legacy disciples.
In the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.
In the hall, there were a total of five figures.
On the main seat in front, the person seated was naturally Sect Master Yang Li.
Beside him, there were also three Grand Elders sitting.
They were: Daoist Azure Dragon, Patriarch Wuyan, and Daoist Purple Firmament.
As for the last person…
It was Yang Li’s personal disciple, Su Qingyin.
Su Qingyin obediently poured tea for the three Grand Elders.
Daoist Purple Firmament picked up the teacup and gently smelled the fragrance of the tea. He then savored the taste of the tea, and his eyes lit up slightly as he said, “Not bad, not bad. The taste of this tea is mellow, it’s fragrant, and there’s abundant spiritual qi. It also has some Dao Insight.”
“Not bad indeed.”
Daoist Azure Dragon and Patriarch Wuyan nodded.
“Thank you for your praise, Grand Elders.” Su Qingyin was slightly delighted.
“She’s still far from it.” Yang Li said.
Su Qingyin lowered her head.
“Sect Master.” Daoist Azure Dragon said, “Are you sure you want Qingyin to participate in this legacy competition?”
Yang Li nodded and said, “There are indeed many rumors about Su Qingyin in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. I rashly accepted Su Qingyin as my personal disciple, causing those legacy disciples to feel indignant.”
“This is the perfect timing.”
“I’ll use this legacy competition to let Su Qingyin personally participate and convince those legacy disciples.”
“They’ll all know how talented Qingyin is.”
Daoist Purple Firmament said, “She’s completely qualified to be the Sect Master’s personal disciple.”
“I naturally have to convince everyone.” Yang Li said solemnly.
“Yes.”
Daoist Azure Dragon and the others looked at each other and nodded. They did not continue discussing this matter.
The reason why they said a few more words was that the legacy competition was very dangerous. If Su Qingyin participated, they would definitely be blamed if anything happened.
The legacy competition this time was jointly discussed by them, the Grand Elders.
If anything happened to Su Qingyin…
The Sect Master would definitely blame them.
“What?” Daoist Azure Dragon was stunned, and his gaze was a little stunned, “What’s going on? Someone passed the three rounds of screening so quickly? How long has it been?”
“So fast?”
When Daoist Purple Firmament heard Daoist Azure Dragon, he was also stunned.
“Let’s take a look.” Patriarch Wuyan said.
Swish!
Many projections appeared in the hall and filled the space above. It happened to be 1230, representing all the legacy disciples.
One of the projections enlarged.
“Qi Ming!”
Yang Li saw the figure in the projection and frowned slightly.
The scene changed.
In the puppet space where Qi Ming was, time flowed back to the moment when Qi Ming had just entered this puppet space.
Half a minute ago, Qi Ming had just been teleported in. The puppet space was indeed an independent space. It should have been specially constructed by the Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect for this screening.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Qi Ming heard a rumble and felt the puppet space tremble. Three huge puppets appeared in front of him. They were three meters tall and completely black-gold in color, like giant apes.
These three giant ape puppets all had the strength of the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Roar!
Roars sounded.
The three giant ape puppets attacked Qi Ming from three directions.
“Be careful.”
In the outside world, Lü Qingyan was constantly paying attention to Qi Ming’s situation. She could not help but be worried.
Feng Zimu would also pay attention to it from time to time, and Miao Hongjian was the same. Apart from that, there were also some elders who did not know Qi Ming’s situation.
“Dawn Dark Bat Demon.”
Buzz!
Qi Ming waved his right hand. In front of him, the Dawn Dark Bat Demon appeared. Its late-stage Nascent Soul realm strength erupted and its demonic energy surged. It directly released a sound wave spell.
Rumble!!!
An explosion sounded.
It was just one strike.
The three giant ape puppets that were at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm were all destroyed. They were forcefully shattered by the Dawn Dark Bat Demon.
It was a complete suppression.
This scene was a little shocking.
“Gasp…”
“What powerful strength.”
“That’s a spirit pet, right? What realm is it in? If it can destroy the three giant ape puppets in one strike, it’s at least at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm or even the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.”
“…”
Immediately, many elders discussed.
“Well done.”
“It’s Qi Ming.”
In the Golden Root Floating Hall.
When Su Zixu saw the situation here, he frowned and recalled that he had not accepted Qi Ming back then, “I see. He actually nurtured the Greater Bat Demon to this extent.”
“What a waste of such good beast taming talent!”
Elder Wu of the Martial Illumination Peak shook his head and was rather regretful, “If Qi Ming could have taken me as his master back then, I would have definitely done my best to teach him and make him the best Beast Tamer.”
Rumble!!!
The puppet space shook again.
This time, three huge puppets that had reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm appeared. Each of them was six meters tall and had a huge body with a dragon head and a lion body.
This was the Dragon Lion Giant Puppet.
“Attack.” Qi Ming said.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The next moment, the Dawn Dark Bat Demon unleashed an even stronger divine power spell again and summoned the power of dawn and dusk. They were like two huge energy balls that produced a distortion.
Rumble!!!
Accompanied by a loud rumble, the three Dragon Lion Giant Puppets were also instantly killed by the Dawn Dark Bat Demon.
“Late-stage Nascent Soul realm! This is definitely a late-stage Nascent Soul realm spirit pet!”
“Impressive!”
“This legacy disciple is not simple!”
“There are three stages in the puppet screening. He did not personally take action in the first two stages. He only let his spirit pets take action and he easily passed.”
“However, the third round won’t be so easy.”
“That’s because the puppet that appears will be at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.”
Everyone discussed it again.
Qi Ming’s battle attracted the attention of many elders.
