To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Finals
Twenty-four participants changed, they immediately released the moves and techniques he had to withstand the soul pressure that befell them. Bald Kun and Shu Lian also cast all the techniques at their disposal.
Various techniques and styles can be seen fighting against each other in the grandeur of the air, some being the figure of a large snake while there is a stick that emits a golden aura into the air. Bald Kun and Shu Lian also each took out their maids. Bald Kun let out a green aura from his body followed by a faint glow of shadows in the sky. Shu Lian, on top of which is now a ball of fire and water interlocked with each other, displays a complex balance between heat and cold.
Zhen Yuan observed calmly, he was able to sense that the two would have no problem defending and advancing to the next stage. It is also realized by the other royal representatives, they really do not believe if the two representatives of the Eternal Medicine can have great skill and technique.
Thirty minutes later, a dozen participants had reached the limit making them no longer able to last longer under the pressure of ten soul cultivators. Among the dozen participants who escaped, each representative of the 5 kingdoms managed to enter the next round followed by 5 representatives of the Spring kingdom did not miss Shu Lian and Bald Kun.
The Queen of Spring nodded in satisfaction, she then gave a cue to the 12 maids who had been behind her since when. Each of the servants held a tray in his hand.
“For each participant who managed to escape the next stage, we will give you a gift that can be used to fight in the next round. Each tray contained a Strength Enhancement Pill, a grade-9 Magic Weapon and a Temporary Engineering Talisman. You can choose one of the three and will be your helper in the fight. Therefore be sure to choose wisely”
The servants arrived at each of the escaped participants. As the Queen of Spring said, there were 3 objects in the tray. A bright red Pill then there was a ring and a yellow talisman paper.
The twelve participants who managed to escape immediately chose the prize they wanted. Some took the ring some took the Pill but very few took the talisman.
“Why do they tend not to choose the Temporary Engineering Talisman?” King Shang asked in surprise.
“So they prefer to take Pill and Magic Ring just because they can bring long-term benefits?” ask King Shang to make sure.
Zhen Yuan nodded, “In a short glance, they look wise and smart choosing those 2 gifts. But if we look like a Spring queen who wants to find her son the right match then 2 choices are not at all exactly”
King Shang frowned, trying to digest Zhen Yuan's words. The young man also waited for King Shang's thoughts while looking at what Bald Kun and Shu Lian would choose.
In fact, out of the 12 people only Bald Kun, Shu Lian and the first genius of the Spring kingdom general chose the Temporary Engineering Talisman. This slightly made Zhen Yuan satisfied with his second choice.
Zhen Yuan's attention was then sidetracked as King Shang patted his eel abruptly and then laughed loudly. His actions certainly attracted the attention of everyone, making the king immediately stop his laughter and re-put on a dignified expression.
Zhen Yuan chuckled at the King's actions. “The noble king must have known the meaning, right?”
King Shang nodded, he whispered, “Queen Spring may seem generous giving 3 types of options to each candidate. But he actually had other intentions. At first glance choosing a Soul Technique Talisman will look detrimental and tend to throw away things that are so valuable just for the sake of the competition.
But if you look deeper, then, The Queen of Spring wanted to see who among them would be if faced with a problem related to Princess Embert and one of the most effective ways for that was to sacrifice even the most precious thing. In this case, the Talisman Technique was the most valuable and also the most effective one used in combat. While they all gathered here is to get the Princess Embert. These two things can be connected and become a concise unity”
