Instead of answering directly, Master Jiang Taoyuan of Taqing Palace countered with a question, “Prince Tianming, who do you think will be among the top seven?”

Upon hearing this, Prince Tianming chuckled and replied, “I’ve heard that the current generation of Taqing Palace has two exceptional talents—Tailingzi and Taishengzi. One possesses an extraordinary constitution, while the other has an exceptional bloodline. I believe these two will surely make it into the top seven!”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Jiang Taoyuan laughed heartily, “Prince Tianming, I’ve also heard about the nineteenth prince of the Tianyan Dynasty. He’s still very young, yet he’s already at the peak of the Yuanfu Realm. It’s said that no one in the Tianyan Dynasty between the first and third levels of the Tiangang Realm can match him!”

Mujun Li then interjected with a smile, “This time, there are several prodigies from various sects and kingdoms who could vie for the top spots. Li Wenbo from Lingjian Mountain, the siblings Lixinhen and Lixinyue from the Li Clan, Shengchaonian and Shengwanyan from the Shengdan Sect, and Ling Zhongxiao from the Tianji Mansion—all of them are the pride of their respective factions. It’s really hard to predict who will be in the top seven…”

“Mujun Li, you’ve mentioned everyone else, but you left out Lv Qingsong!” Li Yuan from the Li Clan laughed and said, “I’ve heard that this young man is extraordinary, and he’s also the son of Brother Lv!”

“And isn’t Mujun Li’s own daughter also participating in this Hundred Kingdoms’ Martial Contest?” someone added.

Mujun Li shook his head, “That little girl of mine, I just brought her here to broaden her horizons.”

Elder Shengxuan of the Shengdan Sect then spoke up, “Perhaps everyone has overlooked someone important?”

Oh?

As soon as these words were spoken, many eyes turned towards him.

“I’ve heard that there’s an extraordinary young lady from Lingjian Mountain named Su Jin Yue, who is also participating in this contest. She is the granddaughter of Elder Su, so she’s definitely not ordinary,” Shengxuan continued.

Upon hearing this, many people looked at the sixth mountain master of Lingjian Mountain, Shi Wuheng.

“Brother Shi, it seems your Lingjian Mountain is holding back,” someone teased.

Shi Wuheng shook his head with a wry smile, “Su Jin Yue is indeed participating, but she’s still not mature enough. This is just a chance for her to temper herself.”

Everyone smiled but remained silent.

Everyone knew how fierce the Hundred Kingdoms’ Martial Contest was. None of the prodigies from any faction came here just for tempering.

On one side, the strong figures from the Seven Great Sects were chatting and laughing. On the other side, the Hundred Kingdoms’ Martial Contest had already begun. The prodigies from the Seven Great Sects and the Hundred Kingdoms had already been scattered and teleported into Yulong Mountain.

After a moment of dizziness, Ye Wushuang felt his feet touch the ground. He steadied himself and immediately looked around vigilantly. From the moment one stepped into this mountain range, everyone needed to be one hundred percent focused. Life and death could be decided in an instant. This feeling was something Ye Wushuang hadn’t experienced for a long time.

In his previous life as the Heavenly Emperor, he had climbed from the bottom to the peak of the world, naturally going through countless life-and-death situations. Now, experiencing this feeling again, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

The surroundings were a quiet forest. After walking for a few miles, Ye Wushuang saw a stream. A dozen or so spiritual beasts were gathered by the stream to drink water.

“Low-level second-tier spiritual beast—Qingwei Beast!”

The Qingwei Beast was about ten feet tall, resembling a tiger, but with blue fur all over its body. It could launch wind blade attacks and preferred to live in groups. These dozen Qingwei Beasts formed a clan, gathering by the stream, with a few of them looking around, clearly on guard.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang simply walked out boldly. When he was only about thirty feet away from the dozen Qingwei Beasts, one of them immediately let out a low growl, warning Ye Wushuang and alerting its companions.

However, when the Qingwei Beasts saw that it was only a young man, Ye Wushuang, approaching them, they all looked stunned.

“Fifteen in total, that’s one thousand five hundred spiritual points. Everything has to be done step by step…” Ye Wushuang smiled and his figure flickered out.

Whoosh…

In the next moment, the thirty-foot distance was covered in the blink of an eye. Ye Wushuang threw a punch directly.

Boom…

The Qingwei Beast on guard was directly punched in the head by Ye Wushuang, its skull shattered, and blood mixed with pulp sprayed out. The other Qingwei Beasts did not panic. Instead, they let out low, angry growls, immediately forming a formation and charging at Ye Wushuang!

…

Fifteen minutes later.

By the stream, Ye Wushuang squatted down to wash his hands. Behind him, the dozen or so Qingwei Beast corpses lay scattered. These dozen Qingwei Beasts were only at the first to third levels of the Yuanfu Realm, posing no real pressure to him.

Ye Wushuang looked at the token in his hand. Zero had already turned into one thousand five hundred. According to what Mu Qi Qi had said, in previous Hundred Kingdoms’ Martial Contests, to enter the top seven, one needed at least five hundred thousand spiritual points.

Of course, this did not mean that those who obtained such high spiritual points had really hunted so many spiritual beasts. After all, here, it was possible to kill people and seize spiritual points. Often, in the last month of the three months, the most plundering and interception occurred.

Now, everything had just begun!

Ye Wushuang washed his clothes and was about to leave the place.

“Friend, not bad at all!”

However, just as Ye Wushuang stood up, a voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the stream.
