Chapter 643 - 343: You All from Thousand Martial Hall, Strike Together_1
The swirling demon cloud descended outside the Spirit Sect and All Ages Alliance camps, forming its own faction. As the cloud dispersed, the martial artists saw a vibrant tiger sitting on a giant golden chair.
The sight made the corners of the martial artists' mouths twitch. This massive tiger, the size of a small hill, had a large gold chain around its neck. Its legs were slightly spread on the ground, and its claws rested on the chair arms.
Its eyes were wide and intimidating, exuding an aura of unruly defiance.
"Great Demon King, what's your purpose for coming to this battlefield of prodigies?" the Yuling Mansion Master asked with a stern face.
"I've come to participate in the battle of prodigies. Since it's a contest for the prodigies of the Spirit Domain, should my Demon Clan be left out?" Red Cat replied with a powerful voice.
"Great Demon King, you've got some nerve! This is a competition for the young prodigies, and here you are, old enough to be their father but not ashamed to participate?" the Yuling Mansion Master retorted sarcastically.
"I've not even reached thirty since my birth. So by age, I too belong to the prodigies' ranks!" Red Cat proudly declared.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Was the Great Demon King not even thirty years old?
That's impossible!
"Master, is Red Cat really not thirty?" Su Lingxiu curiously asked.
Li Xuan twiched his mouth, replied, "It might actually be true!"
When he first captured Red Cat in the mountains, it was already a grown cat. But counting from its birth, it probably hadn't yet reached thirty years.
"Unexpectedly, Red Cat is also a prodigy." Su Lingxiu burst into laughter.
"Great Demon King, quit joking around!" The Lord Lei Yun stated sternly.
"Who's joking with you? Verify my age if you must. I came here specifically for the battle of prodigies!" Red Cat huffed.
With a cold glare, he looked towards the Spirit Sect and asked, "What, you look down on my Demon Clan?"
Behind Red Cat, the strong members of the Demon clan let out roars, ready to cause trouble if they were denied participation in this battle.
"Since the Demon Clan is part of the Spirit Domain, they obviously can't be left out. The All Ages Alliance has no objections," Fang Hao said with a smile.
The Yuling Mansion Master frowned. The Great Demon King was too strong, already exceeding the average prodigy. Was he going to let him claim the first place?
"As long as the Great Demon King truly complies with the rules, there's no harm in letting him participate," Emperor Da Zhou said with a smile.
In the end, Red Cat successfully joined the competition.
Once confirmed, Red Cat disappeared into the Demon Clan's camp and reappeared on the Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Ship, meowing to please his master, Li Xuan.
"You are quite an interesting cat," Li Xuan laughed. Jade Ruyi tapped on Red Cat's head.
Red Cat's power had greatly increased, and he had mastered many Demon magic techniques. If he fought with the Yuling Mansion Master again, the latter would probably not be a match for Red Cat.
"Greetings, seniors!"
Xie Tianheng and his son arrived from Yuntian Azure Sea City.
Li Xuan nodded, looking at Xie Tianheng's wife Fu Yun. He was somewhat surprised. How did Xie Tianheng manage to marry Fu Yun in the Inner Domain?
Fu Yun also looked at Li Xuan with curiosity. Is this the mysterious expert?
Xie Lingfeng was also participating in the battle of prodigies. There were a few prodigies from Yuntian Azure Sea city who had also come along, naturally including Li Shao and Haibo'er.
"Where is Brother Xu?" Xie Lingfeng asked curiously after catching up with Meng Chong and the others.
"Our senior brother hasn't returned yet, but he should be back soon," Meng Chong said with a smile.
The day of the battle of prodigies arrives.
Boom!
As a rainbow streaked across the sky, illuminating the Azure Sea with gorgeous light, several figures scattered in all directions.
"Today, the final battle of the prodigies will decide the top hundred, who will each receive one quota. The top ten will receive five quotas, and the top three will get ten quotas.
"Don't ask what these quotas are for. You will find out after the battle.
"In the battle of the prodigies, life and death are determined by the prodigies. Revenge is not permitted in this battle..." Emperor Da Zhou announced the rules of the battle of prodigies.
"Why hasn't senior brother returned yet?" Su Lingxiu asked, puzzled.
"He's back." Li Xuan said with a light smile.
Everyone looked up to see a pale blue light streaking across the sky. Soon, a figure landed on the Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Ship, holdinag a pale blue flying boat in his hand.
"Master, second apprentice brother, third apprentice sister... Brother Xie!"
Xu Yan greeted them with a smile.
When he returned to Wu State, he learned that the final battle was being held in Hongzhou. So he hurried back and fortunately arrived just as the final battle was about to begin.
After Emperor Da Zhou finished announcing the rules for the battle of prodigies, he added, "The battle of prodigies begins! You may challenge according to the rankings, or challenge anyone on the prodigy list directly."
As he finished speaking, a young man stepped forward from the Thousand Martial Hall camp.
He held a long sword, a divine artifact, in his hand.
As he stepped forward, the spirit light within his body emerged, blending in with the Heavenly Earth Lingji and the essence of Heaven and Earth Laws. Threads of law power kept converging.
A prodigy with a spiritual body!
This young man was obviously the real prodigy of Thousand Martial Hall.
"His strength isn't bad!" Xu Yan said with a smile.
As Thousand Martial Hall's prodigy stepped out, the rest of the prodigies all looked serious. They thought that after Xu Yan had taunted Thousand Martial Hall, they wouldn't have a decent prodigy left for the competition.
Unexpectedly, they had such a powerful prodigy. Judging by his strength, he definitely wasn't inferior to the Thousand Martial Lord!
"Thousand Martial Hall is quite lucky this time!" Emperor Da Zhou exclaimed.
Fu Tianhai, the City Lord of Yuntian Azure Sea City standing next to him, nodded enviously and said, "Indeed, they have five core prodigies. Our Yuntian City only has three."
