"However, these families and sects have one condition: each family or sect is only allowed one spot."

"In this way, no one is qualified to come unless they are at least an eighth-rank official."

"The real competitors are still those at the ninth rank."

"However, this is quite normal. Her Majesty the Empress is so powerful that if her son-in-law's strength is below the ninth rank, he would be laughed at."

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Yu explained to Guo Feng in detail the situation of the Empress's selection of a husband.

Upon hearing this, Guo Feng couldn't help but sigh, acknowledging that the Yan Yang Empire's strength was indeed extraordinary.

The main reason is that hundreds of billions of people have lived on this resource-rich continent for tens of thousands of years.

Although those who reach the ninth rank are extremely rare.

But the population base is there.

The timeline for inheritance is here.

It's quite normal for such people to exist.

He nodded: "This time, the main competition is among those under 100 years old who are at the ninth rank, right? Qin Yu, do you have any other information about the other popular contestants?"

"have!"

Qin Yu, as if presenting a treasure, hurriedly said, "The number one favorite is, of course, Young Master Guo Feng!"

"He comes from the Sumeru Sect, is not yet twenty years old, and defeated Commander Feng Zirong, a ninth-rank fourth-level cultivator, with a single strike. In the subsequent battle on Sect Street, he killed dozens of Taiyi Sect disciples and inner disciples, and was personally selected by the Empress."

He flattered him and said, "There are three others, Young Master Guo, you should be careful."

"Firstly, Tang Ru, the fifth true disciple of the Taiyi Sect, is a ninth-rank, fifth-level cultivator with extraordinary strength."

"Secondly, Ming Hao, the eighteenth son of the Duke of Ming, is a ninth-rank official at the fourth level."

"The last one, you should have met him before, is Lou Yu, the number one true disciple of the Six Harmonies Sect, at the fifth level of the ninth rank."

He laughed and said, "The rest, although they are of the ninth rank, are mostly just entering the ninth rank, or at the first or second level of the ninth rank, so they are not worth worrying about."

"The fifth true disciple of the Taiyi Sect is already at the fifth level of the ninth rank. The other four are even more powerful. Why don't they come out and compete?"

Guo Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Because of the first four, two are women, and the first and second true disciples are married."

Qin Yu hurriedly explained.

"oh."

Guo Feng nodded, and then he thought of Lou Yu, a space-type expert at the fifth level of the ninth rank.

The foremost true disciple of the Six Harmonies Sect.

No wonder I wasn't very nice to him back then.

He waved his hand, "Alright, that's enough, let's go down."

After he finished speaking, everyone got off the carriage after the coachman stopped it.

They walked towards the Confucian Academy.
