The selection process was attended by Patriach Bai and six elders. From the fighting branch were elder Zhao, elder Xia Meng and elder Kong.
They were all dressed in white with white headbands that were also inscribed with the thorny storm sect. The back of their clothes said the same thing.
The alchemists were divided into three camps. Dress pink with lotus pattern, purple with snake pattern and red with rose pattern. They were dressed exactly like the elders who became their guiding teachers. Namely, Xiang Ying, Xia Ning and Xianlun.
As the selection process began, Patriach Bai had Xiao Tian jump into the middle of the arena. There was a lightning God who had been confused looking for Xiao Tian.
"Finally you showed up too, I tried to find traces of your qi but couldn't find you. What kind of technique did you use that I couldn't trace at all?" asked the Lightning God in annoyance.
"Ah sorry, I just tried one of the techniques that Wukong once taught me. And forgot to deactivate it," Xiao Tian said as he scratched his head.
"Areally how many God-level techniques did he teach you?" asked the Lightning God in annoyance.
"There's still one technique I haven't used yet, and I'll show it later during the tournament" Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
"I hate secrets, I can't even read your mind anymore. Is the ability to block your mind active again?" asked the Lightning God with a look of annoyance.
"It's all thanks to me being used to the Yin Yang serpent martial spirit. The technique that Sunlong had taught was able to get back active thanks to this," Xiao Tian said through telepathy.
"That's it, huft. Troublesome," said the God of lightning with a look of annoyance.
Right after, Patriach Bai jumped right next to Xiao Tian, causing everyone to start whispering about what patriach Bai was doing.
To stop everyone, he raised one of his hands and said,
"Ehm!"
"All of you must be wondering, why am I with this masked man. And what's the reason he's standing next to me."
"Without a stale base I'll explain everything. First, he will be one of our representatives for the other sects in the tournament. And secondly, he will participate in the fighting branch," Patriach Bai said with a serious look.
Everyone except elder Xianlun and elder Xia Meng instantly got up from their seats in shock at the news.
"Our sect is on the verge, and you want to make him our representative?"
"I can't even feel the cultivation of the person next to you. Besides why is he wearing a mask?"
"The rules of the tournament are that participants are prohibited from wearing any masks to prove that the participant is not an old master in disguise" Xiang Ying said with a look of annoyance.
"He is indeed strong, but made him a representative to replace our two former participants .. ," said elder Zhao with a look of dismay.
"Xianlun, say something!"
"Isn't he your new student!" snarled elder Xiang Ying with a look of annoyance.
"Something," Xianlun said with a flat look.
"This woman!"
"That's not what I mean!" snapped Xiang Ying with a look of annoyance.
"How dare I oppose the patriach's decision, besides the person he chooses is the most dangerous person. I don't know what the plan is, if he's the one representing our sect. I'm sure this sect can return victorious," Xianlun thought with a faint smile.
"Of course, stop arguing. No matter who represents this college, we will still be destroyed" Long Hu said with a pessimistic look.
"Long Hu is right, no matter how hard we try. We will definitely lose" said Xian Juan with a pessimistic look.
"It's better to just dissolve this college, and forget about this tournament" Tian Fengji said with a tightly clenched hand.
"Kong Ming Chun was finished off last year, whereas Xia Feng Ying was willing to go to another sect to protect our lives. Somehow the fate is now, that trash sect must have already stained our Feng Ying," Long Hu said as he tightly clenched his hands until dripping blood.
As Long Hu said that, all the senior disciples lowered their heads. Even the elders were speechless except elder Xia Meng looked so annoyed that she threw her own chair in front of Long Hu's feet.
Bruakkkk
"Is this how you repay my nephew's sacrifice?"
"Just turn red?"
"You think you will change after four years, who would have thought that your mentality has not changed also after so long of training," said Elder Xia Meng with a look of annoyance.
As the atmosphere was heating up, one of the disciples in charge of guarding the outer door ran into the middle of the arena while saying,
"They're here!"
"The three great sects are already outside!"
"What do you mean?"
"Wouldn't the tournament start in four hours?" patriach Bai asked with a frown.
"For patriach, too,"
"It's not that I want to stop this selection event, but the three big sects have agreed to start the tournament early because they don't want to waste time" Hua Yan said with a gasp of breath.
"Go back to your place and tell them. To be back in four hours!" patriach Bai snapped with an annoyed look.
"But the patriach .., they told me that the rules would be changed if we told them to postpone the tournament. And the new rules are very burdensome to us" Hua Yan said with a breath of breath.
"What rules do they say?" patriach Bai asked with a frown.
"They said, we should win two college branches at once" Hua Yan said, bowing his head.
"Open the entrance for them, Elder Zhou!" patriach Bai said with a look of annoyance.
"Okay, patriach," said elder Zhou while saluting.
"Stop!"
"Let them wait for four hours!" said Xiao Tian in a high tone.
Since he did not know Xiao Tian's identity yet, Elder Zhou ignored Xiao Tian and continued to try to continue his steps. However his steps came to a halt instantly just as Xiao Tian let out an air of killing a level eight beast realm swordsman.
Unmasked on his face he said, "Where do you think you're going?"
"Can't you hear my words?"
At that time Xiao Tian had already changed his true face. So that in addition to Xianlun, Tian Ling, Patriach Bai, Xia Meng and all his students were shocked instead of playing.
"In ... is he a Beast realm swordsman?"
"It's only right that I can't fight him" Xiang Ying said with wide-eyed eyes.
"Young, handsome and talented, I regret provoking him," Xia Ning said with a flushed cheek.
"My qualifications?"
"I can destroy this college just by resigning," Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
"All right, you won!"
"But don't think you're gonna get away with this!"
"If this school is dissolved because of you, then I will finish you off!" said elder Zhao as he walked back towards his place.
"Master, wouldn't it be better not to delay the tournament?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"It is however impossible for us to win both tournaments at once" whispered patriach Bai in a very slow voice.
"I have a good idea about that, have the five vice disciples from the alchemist branch meet me in the basement of this building. Also order the four disciples from the fighter branch to meet me at the same place. For four hours I will make them change" Xiao Tian explained as he walked away from the arena.
Four hours later
Tournament of fighters
the four sects had gathered at the promised place. Alchemist tournaments and fighting tournaments are conducted separately.
And at this moment, there was no sign yet that Xiao Tian and the others would be present at the venue. They had not even appeared for more than thirty minutes.
Having run out of patience the three patriachs from the sect immediately got up from their seats and said,
"What the hell is this?"
"How dare you guys keep us waiting this long!" patriach Sun Yu said, while showing a look of annoyance.
As the Patriach of the winged dragon sect raised a voice, Long Hu, Xian Juan and Tian Fengji showed themselves with looks that were so calm and domineering. Their aura was so strong and the weakest cultivation they showed was that of a first layer mortal realm swordsman.
After seeing Long Hu, Xian Juan and Tian Fengji come out first with valiant looks, Shan Ye a black-clothed swordsman from the winged dragon sect jumped before them then said, Shan Ye,
"Surprisingly, I didn't think you guys could also become a mortal realm swordsman.
Long Hu, Xian Juan and Tian Fengji."
"Are you willing to join our winged dragon sect?"
"Do you want to be the same as Kong Ming Chun?" shan Ye asked with a disdainful look.
"Keep away from this god, son, otherwise you will regret it" Tian Fengji said as he patted Shan Ye's shoulder with a very calm look. And walk through it just like that.
"How dare you ignore me!" said Shan Ye while trying to hit Tian Fengji with full force. However Tian Fengji endured the blow with just one hand.
"Mu .. impossible!"
"I'm eight times stronger than you, how can you withstand this blow of mine without using the slightest qi power?" said Shan Ye with a look of annoyance.
"More powerful than me?"
"Dreams!" tian Fengji said as he kicked Shan Ye back to hit the wall.
Bruakkk
"Who is Kong Ming Chun?"
"Ah time bodo, the important thing is that I can hit people today," Tian Fengji said as he peeked.
"Hey God is ridiculous, can you control your emotions!"
"If not your disguise will be exposed!" snapped Sunlong with a look of annoyance.
Bukk bukkk
"Can you shut up!" xian Juan said by telepathy.
"Remember you're here just to keep an eye out, so stay here and let me jump into the arena!" xian Juan looked upset.
"My feelings alone, or did their nature change drastically?" thought patriach Bai with a confused look.
"Where is the master?"
"Why isn't he here?" patriach Bai asked with a confused look.
The alchemist branch tournament
Xiao Tian, Tian Ling, Xia Ning, Yun Yun and Ling Xian (the girl who was randomly selected and trained as fast as lightning inside a vacuum together with Xia Ning and the others)
They had been training in a vacuum, but remembered nothing about the incident other than their experience of concocting inside. All because Xiao Tian erased the memories of void space and everyone inside.
When Xiao Tian just walked in, one of the disciples from one of the sects blocked him by saying, "You're dressed in white and also a man, it's obvious that you're from the fighting branch. What are you doing in the alchemist branch tournament?"
"I am a disciple of elder Xianlun, and have been chosen to be one of the representatives of the alchemist branch. Can't a man take part in this tournament?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"There's no prohibition, just aren't you ashamed of being the only man here?" ask the girl with a disdainful look.
"Don't look down on master yan yan!"
"Although he looks young, he is even much more experienced compared to your master!" tian Ling snapped while looking intently at the girl's eyes.
"You hear that's a teacher?"
"They really believe that this guy can be comparable to you, it's really ridiculous. Since when did men become alchemists, ahahahah!" the laughter of the girl and everyone while pointing towards Xiao Tian.
When everyone laughed, Xialun one of the elders from the alchemist branch of the thorny storm sect leaped towards Xiao Tian then directly held his collar so tightly.
"What do you mean, here!"
"Aren't you supposed to be in the fighter branch!"
"Do you know what you're doing!"
"With you in the fighting branch, our sect will be destroyed!" xialun shouted with a look of annoyance.
"Ho ... , have you started doubting my decision?"
"Teacher?" xiao Tian asked with a cold look.
"A ... I don't mean .. , only," Xianlun ran out of words to cover her worries, but Tian Ling calmed her down by saying, "Calm teacher, please, Yan Yan must have planned everything. Go back to your place and calm down that desperate-looking elder Xiang Ying and elder Xia Ning. Tell them that we will definitely win this tournament by a landslide" Tian Ling said with a wink.
