On the third day of the competition, the Holy Academy witnessed its most magnificent scene in hundreds of years.
From the location of the Holy Academy's Prodigy Ranking to the outermost edge of the Holy Academy, the area was filled with onlookers.
Whether they came here voluntarily or not, the presence of these people demonstrates the Holy Academy's dominant position in the Northern Xuan World!
"Look, that's Su Wen, the monstrous genius who has fought against Grandmasters!"
"That was the number one prodigy a hundred years ago! Luo Bei!"
"Ahhh! The Holy Lord is here! Everyone, look!"
"Is that our Holy Lord? He's absolutely stunning!"
"And that little white cat on the Holy Lord's shoulder, how can it be so cute!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, one hundred prodigies from the Northern Profound World emerged from the depths of the Holy Academy, some deliberately lingering in front of the crowd.
Apart from Chu Yeyao and Lin Chen, these people were all somewhat baffled by the Holy Academy's arrangement.
If it's a competition, why do you have to show your face in front of others?
Lin Chen nudged Ye Yao's neck and asked, "Did you arrange this?"
Ye Yao shook her head. "It must be the arrangement of the Eastern Emperor Spirit Protector. He wants to show the people around the Holy Academy the strength of my Northern Xuan World so that they can face the upcoming strange beasts with peace of mind."
It has to be said that the longer a person lives, the better they become at interpersonal relationships.
These seemingly minor arrangements by Donghuang Ling demonstrate the strategic acumen of this Holy Academy patriarch.
If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Dao of the Northern Profound World, someone like Donghuang Ling would probably already have a place in all the worlds.
"The third round of the Prodigy Ranking, the survival competition that will determine the rankings of the prodigies, begins now!"
"This competition will last for two days and will be held entirely behind closed doors!"
"Two days later, the first strong person to emerge from the survival arena will be considered number one on the Prodigy Ranking! The second person to emerge will be considered number two on the Prodigy Ranking, and so on!"
After the ethereal words were spoken, a hundred orbs of light, of varying sizes, flew out and slowly enveloped the hundred contestants.
"Knock knock knock!"
Once all one hundred contestants and their companion beasts were completely enveloped in the ball of light, a deep and resonant bell rang throughout the entire Northern Xuan Realm.
At the sound of the bell, all one hundred contestants vanished instantly, and no one knew how they disappeared.
At this moment, Donghuang Ling walked out of the Holy Academy and stood on the high platform.
Using a secret technique to amplify his voice, Donghuang Ling remained silent for a moment, then said in a slightly heavy voice:
"I am Donghuang Ling, the Grand Protector of the Holy Academy! I humbly request the assistance of all the powerful human beings to aid my Northern Xuan! I thank you all!"
After saying this, Donghuang Ling bowed and clasped his hands in all directions.
"Great Protector, why is this?"
"Great Protector! This won't do! Please tell me what's wrong!"
The younger generation present may not be familiar with the legend of Donghuang Ling, but the older generation all know what kind of person he is.
They were puzzled as to what could have made Donghuang Ling bow so respectfully.
Donghuang Ling straightened up again and solemnly said, "Just yesterday, the Holy Lord received news that the alien beasts will launch a major attack tomorrow..."
Inside the survival competition venue.
Ye Yao looked around in surprise; everything was covered in thick, white fog.
There is also a spiritual energy in the air here that does not belong to the Northern Xuan World.
"Is this... space folding?"
Lin Chen was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by space folding?"
Ye Yao took a deep breath before saying, "The so-called space folding is a spatial spell that only powerful cultivators can master. It compresses and folds space to achieve the effect of containing a vast expanse within a mustard seed or vice versa, and some even go so far as to..."
"Can you do it?"
Lin Chen interrupted.
Next, he saw Ye Yao's face turn pale and then red, before she slowly uttered, "No."
"Tch, you're talking so enthusiastically, I thought you could do it too."
"In my past life, I specialized in the field of time!"
Lin Chen nodded and said perfunctorily, "Alright, alright, I got it. By the way, can you see the layout here clearly?"
Ye Yao snorted, clearly uncomfortable with Lin Chen's perfunctory attitude.
However, she still calmed down and carefully examined her surroundings.
Ye Yao released a tiny wisp of the Emperor's spiritual power.
"It seems we are still in the Northern Xuan Realm. This must be a small world created by the Heavenly Dao."
"This Heavenly Dao is quite the player, doing this and that."
Ye Yao patted Lin Chen's head, "Alright, stop talking. Where are we going next?"
"Hehe, since you can detect the truth of this place, can you use this small world to locate Mu Feng's position?"
Lin Chen smiled maliciously.
Ye Yao remained indifferent for two seconds, which could be considered a moment of sorrow for Mu Feng, after all, none of the things Lin Chen cared about had a good ending.
"Sure, why? Do you need to see them?"
"Yes, the fruit is ripe, how can we not pick it?"
Ye Yao asked in confusion, "Fruit? What fruit?"
Before Ye Yao could ask any further questions, Lin Chen had already jumped off Ye Yao's shoulder, wagging his tail and urging Ye Yao to hurry up.
In another mountain range.
The man and the beast met in front of a cave that was neither too big nor too small.
Just now, Mu Feng and the Ninth Yin Demon explored in opposite directions and basically determined the surrounding environment.
"What's next? Should we look for the exit directly, or find the woman's location first?"
The Ninth Yin Demon pondered for a moment and said, "Let's find that woman's location first. After all, we won't have such a good opportunity once we leave here!"
Mu Feng smiled; the Ninth Yin Demon's thoughts coincided with his own.
"If we succeed this time, our path will be much easier from now on. We'll strive to transcend the Northern Profound Realm in one fell swoop, and the myriad realms will be our new starting point!"
In this small world, without the audience watching from the sidelines, human greed becomes even more intense.
Others' treasures, the essence and inner core of other companion beasts, the number one spot on the Prodigy Ranking...
All of this has made people increasingly restless and uneasy.
The reason why the two-day competition is called the "survival competition" is probably because of this.
"Lin Chen, we found him!" Ye Yao called out.
Lin Chen turned to look at the place Ye Yao was pointing to, the center of more than a dozen mountains.
Lin Chen grinned, feeling a sense of exhilaration reminiscent of playing a simulation game in his past life.
Seeing that what I've worked so hard to cultivate has finally become what I wanted.
Tsk, I really feel a little reluctant to harvest this batch of chives.
"Ye Yao, make some noise and let them prepare. It's no fun if we just crush them."
By this point, Ye Yao already knew Lin Chen's intentions.
Although she didn't know how Lin Chen and Mu Feng became enemies, it was only right for her to help since it was something Lin Chen wanted to do.
Besides, Mu Feng isn't a good person either.
Having made up her mind, Ye Yao stepped onto the ground and casually pointed a finger, sending a sharp fingertip shooting out and striking the nearest mountain.
