Chapter 1291: Wu Ren Wang

A moment later, one of the key elders beside the Grand Priest waved his hand and a stand rose on the grounds. The stand was 50 feet tall and 1,000 feet wide with sparkling gold seats lining the perimeter. Then, the grand priest, four priests, and the key elder slowly lowered themselves onto the stand.

La la la!!

The crowd pulled back, allowing the vast area for the stands to be seen. The Grand Priest was seated in the main middle seat, his eyes carried a wise but deep look as he gazed over the millions of Sorcerer tribesmen gathered on the grounds.

A few moments later, he loudly announced, “This year’s Young Priest choosing ceremony will officially begin today and will consist of three rounds in total. Only the one who successfully passes all three rounds will become the Young Priest. If more than one person passes through, then a battle shall decide who will be chosen as the final candidate.”

The entire grounds were silent and the Grand Priest’s words inspired the crowd.

Three rounds!

How difficult would they be?

Since every Young Priest choosing ceremony had different examinations, the crowd did not know what these three rounds would be!

“Alright, this old man will not speak any further, let the first challenge begin!”

As the Grand Priest spoke, he waved his robe and, in a second, a small pagoda flew forward above the grounds.

The small pagoda was greyish white with a total of three floors. However, what was strange was that its pinnacle was absent and the top of it was flat. This made the pagoda look like a cylinder.

In the next moment, under everyone’s gaze, it grew larger. In a second, it grew almost a thousand times in size into a pagoda that was a hundred feet wide and a thousand feet long.

Boom!

The entire grounds shook as the large pagoda landed in the middle, letting out a thundering sound as it fell.

“This pagoda has a total of three floors and there are projections of Wu Ling on every floor. Everyone who enters the pagoda will meet projections who are of the same level. The first level will have projections with 30% of Wu Ling’s strength, the second level with 50%, and the last with 70% strength.”

“Those who can defeat the projections, successfully pass through the three floors, and reach the top will pass the first round!”

Although the Grand Priest’s voice was light, it resounded in everyone’s minds.

As they heard it, their hearts stopped. They competitors actually had to defeat Wu Ling’s projections!

Wu Ling was the previous Young Priest chosen during the last ceremony. He was a revered Young Priest among the Sorcerer’s Tribe now, and his talents and fighting strength was very strong.

To pass through the three floors and reach the top of the pagoda would definitely not be easy!

After all, the third floor with the strongest projection was only 70% of Wu Ling’s power, but that was already very hard and terrifying!

“Alright, candidates, enter the pagoda!” The Grand Priest said his final sentence and the doors to the three floored pagoda opened. However, the tribesmen were not rushing to enter. Many people were looking around as if they were searching for a certain person. At that moment, the crowd was slightly bewildered. This year’s number one candidate, Wu Ren Wang. had still not arrived.

Why wasn’t he here?

Did he not intend to participate in the Young Priest Choosing ceremony?

Swoosh!

Right at that moment, an ear piercing sound resounded through the air and everyone turned their heads towards the sky. A streak of black lighting tore through the sky in a flash. Not only was this black lighting terrifying, but the aura of destruction it carried turned hearts cold. Everyone’s hearts jumped in their chests upon seeing this flash of lightning. Then, they immediately regained their composure. Wu Ren Wang had finally appeared!

Swoosh!

Within a second, the black streak of lighting landed on the grounds and immediately stopped, morphing into a strong young man clad in a black robe. This man had a pleasant look, and appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. His hair had grown so long it almost reached his thighs while his entire presence seemed to be able to warm hearts, a stark contrast from his destructive power.

“Hehe! I didn’t miss it!” Once he stopped himself, he immediately broke into a smile and bowed towards the stands, saying, “Grand Priest, four priests, and core elder!”

“Mmph!”

The Grand Priest lightly acknowledged him as a smile formed on his originally sullen face. Then, he asked, “Wu Ren Wang, I heard you went to Three Split Star to train. What have you achieved?”

With his question, the crowd’s interest was piqued. This was because, even though Wu Ren Wang looked like a warm and bright young man, he was actually crazy over battles. Every time he went out to train, he was actually going around battling the geniuses of faraway places, hence strengthening his reputation of being unrivalled.

Wu Ren Wang confidently laughed and grinned, “Three Split Star was big, but whether it was the Giant Beings, the Flying Beings, the Black Scale Tribe, or normal human beings, no one who was the same cultivation level as me could beat me. They are not even worth mentioning!”

Three Split Star was actually a special star in Ancient Spirit Galaxy. Many of those who resided there were very powerful, but there was no one who actually ruled over the star. Hence, it can be said to be a messy gathering place for many species.

“Really? You didn’t meet any strong adversary?” smiling slightly as he asked, the Grand Priest obviously thought highly of Wu Ren Wang.

“I actually did meet a strong person, but he wasn’t from Three Split Star. He was instead a disciple from Shen Wu Academy. His name is You Tian Han and he was pretty strong. We couldn’t differentiate who won or lost when we fought!” Wu Ren Wang sighed as he confirmed.

This time he went to Three Split Star, he had practically defeated all the geniuses there. But he finally met a strong disciple from Shen Wu Academy, and he didn’t manage to beat him.

Upon hearing Wu Ren Wang’s words, Su Mo was very surprised. Wu Ren Wang was talking about You Tian Han from the Tai Shi family of Shen Wu Academy. Su Mo vaguely remembered that You Tian Han was a Level 9 Martial Emperor, and therefore Wu Ren Wang should probably be the same level, too.

However, was You Tian Han really that strong? He tied with the Sorcerer Tribe’s top genius, Wu Ren Wang!

Su Mo was slightly bewildered. He only knew that You Tian Han was strong and was the top disciple of the Southern Yard, but he did not realize that he was that powerful. Su Mo sighed, realizing that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to kill You Tian Han once he returned to Shen Wu Academy.

“Shen Wu Academy takes in many geniuses from Ancient Spirit Galaxy. To have met someone worthy of being your opponent is not a surprise!” said The Grand Priest.

“Grand Priest, I, Wu Ren Wang, have always been unrivalled against people of the same cultivation level as me. This You Tian Han wants me to challenge him directly at Shen Wu Academy once I become the Young Priest!” replied Wu Ren Wang seriously. It seemed that he had kept the Young Priest choosing ceremony in his mind.

“Mmph! Alright, first participate in the Young Priest choosing ceremony, then!” Grand Priest nodded his head and, without chit-chatting any further, briefly explained the rules to Wu Ren Wang.

“Hehe!”

After listening to the Grand Priest’s words, Wu Ren Wang laughed lightly and with a twitch of his body, flew directly onto the top of the three floored pagoda and sat there.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo froze and his heart filled with suspicion. This scoundrel actually disregarded the rules! He just flew directly to the top of the pagoda!

What in the world was he trying to do?
