The Legend Of Frozen Sovereign
Chapter 16: Simple selection
This was an unexpected year for the past few decades, especially with the holding of a competition held in Green River City, one of the economic centers of the Han Empire, plus this was held by the Yuanlong Tower which was a famous trading organization, even having a strong reputation in the Four Sacred Continents.
Gathering many young cultivators and those who were strong without affiliation, this competition attracted many people's interest to the point that Green River City was filled with many visitors.
“Number 326, it seems like participants without affiliation are also quite a lot, but are they sure they can compete with the cultivators who got directional upbringing?” The finished Xuan Yu applied immediately to the waiting room to wait for his turn.
He decided to participate in this tournament for the sake of two goals, first was to hone his skills given that there was a difference between cultivators without or with affiliation, second which was definitely the reward received if winning.
Xuan Yu chose a basic category tournament where only cultivators around thirteen to fifteen years old in the seventh to ninth level Body Training Realm could participate, plus there are also regulations regarding the use of artifacts or other aids.
Based on the information provided, there are three categories set by the procurement of this tournament, namely, basic, standard, and weight categories. Where each category has rules, age limits, and cultivation levels.
This is done so that everything is fair and away from fraudulent actions, not to mention the fact that this is held by a well-known trade organization then the level of security is tighter.
Whereas based on the contents of the book about sects or organizations from Bing Xuelian explained that there is no such rule, at most there are only rules between ages or generations that are the reference, which is the rule, while the rest only needed to show their strength whether it was balanced or not.
‘Well it is possible that the fight between the Sects usually only aims to show off their younger generation, in contrast to Yuanlong Tower which is a trade organization, surely this has its own purpose for them, perhaps to increase the reputation?’
There were actually two phases of the tournament held by the Yuanlong Tower, first specifically for the particular Sect or organization present, where the rules were not as strict as Xuan Yu was looking at. Second is for free cultivators who have some fairly strict rules, such as categorization that aims to balance the strength between participants, also people from the sect can also follow the rules.
So now that the competition was already underway, it was just that this was devoted to the members of the Sect or organization, while for now those who were not affiliated would have to take the eligibility test to get into the real competition.
“I want to see what the capabilities of the affiliated people look like, but it looks like I will miss a lot of things with a long queue number.” Xuan Yu sighed calmly without thinking about it any harder.
After all he was confident enough to pass in the tournament selection, even though he did not possess the Origin Technique or any special cultivation Method, either, the indirect teaching that Bing Xuelian gave through his book as well as the combat experience gained despite fighting in the wilderness, he was quite confident of reaching the top ten or five in this tournament.
“Participants number 326 and 167, please enter the arena!”
A few hours later Xuan Yu's queue number finally got a turn, since there were four stages of allowance he would stay a little longer in this place.
‘I'll try my best.’

Entering the arena, he could feel the trivial gaze of the people towards him, probably because the way he dressed and his position in standing made some of them guess that he would lose, he said, plus his opponent had a large and stocky body stature with a condensing Origin Qi.
“Heh skinny pathetic boy, I suggest you to get off the arena immediately because I don't want to hurt you.” Player number 167 seems to be very confident with showing off his muscles, no excessive arrogance but only a sense of confidence.
Xuan Yu tried not to respond to how ridiculous the level of participant number 167 was, he simply put up a shuffle waiting for the supervisor to start the match.
“Prepare... start!!”
Aushhh!!
“Hahaha! feel, the Heavy Fist technique I bought from the Yuanlong Tower auction six months ago!!”
The burly man clenched his hands tightly and from his fists appeared a kind of heavy aura that would be extremely dangerous if struck by such a blow, obviously this was a powerful technique given that some people with weak mentalities felt a fairly pressing heavy aura.
But Xuan Yu who had gotten used to it in real combat felt it was just mediocre, even when compared to the Ape-type Origin Beast he had once fought, the techniques deployed by the number 167 participants were not comparable.
He changed his position with the position ready to attack, but strangely he remained standing motionless as if he was waiting, and it made the burly man who attacked him first become a little annoyed.
“Never regret it!!”
However Xuan Yu suddenly moved swiftly and calmly, he coated his hand with a hint of a powerful cold aura without exerting his Origin Qi, grabbing the back of his hand from the burly man's fist deftly, and immediately harnessed the power of his attack to slam him into the floor.
SHIT!!
As the power deployed was also great, the dings were also extremely loud which made the arena platform crack instantly, and it left the other participants shocked to see the exchange.
“Do you still have the power? Or those muscles you're proud of are already stiff.” Xuan Yu sedik insulted behind participant number 167.
“You're just lucky!!” the burly man got back up quickly and took a safe distance quite far.
Clearly he felt that Xuan Yu was very strange, without exerting Origin Qi or the immense might Xuan Yu was able to slam his body into a floor with ease.
“Looks like I have to show you my ultimate move! Get ready!”!
Aushhh!!
This time he did not take Xuan Yu for granted as his opponent, this could be proved from the extremely powerful Origin Qi waves, and as he said he was actually going to make his ultimate move.
“Feel tere–”'s ultimate technique
SHIT!!
Xuan Yu suddenly moved as fast as he could and enveloped his left palm with extremely cold ice, taking the wide-open chance of the inexhaustible number 167 attendee in his speech, and let go of one hard blow with his left palm shrouded in cold ice.
It was a simple yet extremely powerful attack, plus the cold aura from Xuan Yu's ice power made the flow of Origin Qi belonging to participant number 167 instantly come to a halt in the blink of an eye, so that it provoked a strong reaction that made the body's defenses weaken, and he was instantly unconscious when receiving the attack.
“It's done,” Xuan Yu said as she waited for the supervisor's decision.
“A-Ah! the winner is participant number 326!!”
‘What a simple selection, but I was really surprised that most cultivators turned out to like to make long speeches like this in a fight, do they think people are that stupid?’ thought Xuan Yu with a strange expression recalling his fight with participant number 167.
