“Alright, enough chit-chat. Now I’m going to draw ten of you. Oh, I forgot to mention that I’ve given these ten challenges a name, the Ten Despair Challenges…”
Toward the end, the voice of Tiandu Emperor suddenly became gloomy, sending a shudder through everyone’s body, making them curious about what exactly these Despair Challenges were.
However, the Tiandu Emperor did what he said. As he claimed to draw ten people, the next moment, ten flashes of light flickered in the secret chamber. Immediately afterward, ten martial arts geniuses vanished inside the secret chamber and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone could easily guess that these ten martial arts geniuses had already entered the so-called Ten Despair Challenges.
This made Yang Chen curious as he looked closely at the secret chamber with no visible exits, marveling at the miraculous methods of the Tiandu Emperor. Of course, he believed that it was not just the work of the Tiandu Emperor alone—there must also be Yu Ban’s prohibition involved.
“It seems that these ten people have entered the Ten Despair Challenges mentioned by the Great Emperor.”
“I wonder what these Ten Despair Challenges are really like.”
“Hmph, I think the more impressive the name, the more mediocre it is.”
Some people were very curious about the Ten Despair Challenges, while some self-proclaimed extraordinary geniuses thought that these Ten Despair Challenges were nothing special.
Only Yang Chen, upon seeing those ten people disappearing, carefully observed the few people he had not initially scanned with his divine soul power.
As for these people, Yang Chen took them very seriously. Although his Divine Soul Power was not strong, with the help of the Fishpeople Tribe, detecting geniuses and powerful people at the Origin Martial Realm Level three and four should not be a problem. However, these people, like Huang Cheng and Jiang Caiying, were empty when scanned by his divine soul power, which made him feel puzzled.
Yang Chen glanced at these few people and found that their ages were similar to Huang Cheng and Jiang Caiying. Their martial arts cultivation was elusive, making it difficult to determine their identities.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Yang Chen asked, “Miss Jiang, you must have noticed those people over there, right?”
As he spoke, Yang Chen used sound transmission to describe the appearances of the few people he had noticed.
Jiang Caiying looked at the people Yang Chen mentioned without showing any emotion, clearly understanding who Yang Chen was talking about. She slowly said, “Are you very curious about them?”
“Of course, it would be fake if I am not curious.” Yang Chen said with a bitter smile, “These people have terrifying martial arts cultivation.”
He had used the Fishpeople Tribe’s Divine Soul Power to detect these people’s martial arts cultivation, but it was easier to ask Jiang Caiying if she knew. There was no need to bother the Fishpeople Tribe if she could provide the answers.
“I don’t recognize all of these people either. Top geniuses and masters in the Origin Martial Realm mostly come from the various forces in the counties. Since these people have such strong auras and are not from Sun Star Region or Luo Yun County, they should be geniuses sent by other county forces,” Jiang Caiying said.
Then, with an icy expression, Jiang Caiying pointed at a middle-aged man in a black robe. This man looked about thirty years old. She transmitted her voice, “You must be cautious about this person. His martial arts cultivation is the same as mine, both at the Sixth Level of Origin Martial Realm. Although you are very powerful, your cultivation is still far behind him. So, when you see him, you should be careful.”
Yang Chen was startled by Jiang Caiying’s words, “Who is he?”
“He is a genius from the Black Dragon Sect. Since your Family Master knows my Family Master, it means that your vision is not limited to North Mountain County. You should have heard of the Black Dragon Sect,” Jiang Caiying answered.
Yang Chen’s expression turned serious and became solemn, “The Black Dragon Sect, it’s actually this force?”
He was naturally very clear about the Black Dragon Sect.
They were one of the many Supreme Sects under the Great Wind Dynasty.
What is a Supreme Sect? They are the top sects within the entire Great Wind Dynasty. Although they are not the most top-notch forces, in the realm of sects, these Supreme Sects are the most transcendent existences. One could say that one county might not even have one Supreme Sect.
Such as Yuanshan Sect, it was nothing in front of the Supreme Sects. Even the main city of their territory had to look at the faces of the Supreme Sects, because there were a couple of Supreme Sects that even the Royal Family had to give face to.
Although the Black Dragon Sect was not that huge in power, it could still be considered a somewhat close Super Power to the North Mountain County.
Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon Sect also coveted the Thousand-Year Treasure and sent people here.
Jiang Caiying continued, “His name is Yu Feilong. Although he is not a top-tier genius of the Black Dragon Sect, he is still considered to be an excellent genius. It’s best not to provoke him if you can help it.”
Yang Chen silently took note of it.
Of course, he would not stir up trouble unnecessarily. If the Black Dragon Sect did not target him, why should he bother with them?
Thus, Yang Chen learned a lot of information from Jiang Caiying’s words.
As time flowed, not long after, a sound emerged.
The next moment, the original ten geniuses who had been drawn out suddenly reappeared, one by one.
Then, the voice of the Tiandu Emperor rang out…
“Yu Kuang, Second Floor.”
“Hai Fei, First Floor.”
“Second Floor…”
It was unknown how the Tiandu Emperor learned the names of these geniuses. As he returned them one by one, he announced their achievements while mocking them, “You guys went in spirited, why have you given up now? Oh right, those who didn’t enter the challenge earlier and whispered behind my back that the Ten Despair Challenges sounded good but weren’t difficult, did you think I couldn’t hear you? Well, I will draw you guys last then.”
The genius who had bragged earlier changed his expression the moment he heard Tiandu Emperor’s words, not even knowing how to cry.
The Tiandu Emperor showed no mercy, and after a short pause, he said directly, “Alright, since these ten people failed the challenge, let’s draw another group.”
Afterward, another ten people disappeared on the spot.
Yang Chen let out a bitter smile as his luck didn’t seem that good. He had not been drawn twice in a row.
On the other hand, Jiang Caiying’s luck was better. She was drawn in the second round, vanished into thin air, and entered the assessment.
At the same time, the failed challengers who’d been eliminated before became the focus of attention.
“How difficult is the Ten Despair Challenges really?”
“You guys went in and experienced it, tell us.”
One of the eliminated geniuses was already dejected, and upon hearing someone asked, he roared, “Nonsense. If the difficulty is low, do you think I would only pass the second level before failing?”
