Whether they were Golden Core stage disciples or King Realm experts, everyone stared excitedly at the notice.
No one backed down at this time; everyone looked forward to the start of the new round of assessments.
Qin Feng saw that they were all excited and enthusiastic, and he understood their feelings very well.
I imagine everyone was secretly determined to obtain the Emperor's legacy, believing they were the chosen one.
The rewards from the original assessment were decent, but they were insignificant compared to the true inheritance of an emperor.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and all of the original hundred-plus people were present.
The Palace of Bliss was set up so that no one would keep them waiting long; as soon as the time was up, the abandoned light gate immediately disappeared.
The formation of the Palace of Bliss began to operate, and three arenas were erected out of thin air in the center of the main hall, surrounded by energy shields.
New notices have also appeared.
Bai He, Xue Tong, and other powerful figures at the King Realm frowned deeply as they looked at the notice, their expressions grave.
The others also looked tense.
Qin Feng looked up and saw the contents of the notice, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.
The notice was full of hostility.
The upcoming assessments will be conducted at four different cultivation levels: Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and King Realm. There will be three arenas for each level to determine the outcome of the assessment.
Each participant must defeat an opponent of the same level to qualify for the next round.
Once on the life-or-death arena, unless one side voluntarily admits defeat, the fight continues until one side perishes.
This notice means that half of the people here will be eliminated.
Bai He, Xue Tong, Yu Yan, Zheng Ren, Zhu Rui, and Zhou Jian looked at each other in bewilderment. According to this rule, only three of them could advance.
This discovery made it very difficult for them to be happy.
They've been rivals for years, and their overall strength is roughly equal, so it would be quite difficult to determine a winner.
But once you step onto the life-or-death arena, things become much more complicated. This concerns the succession of the Great Emperor, and anyone who dares to slack off will be fought to the death.
They looked at each other warily.
Tang Qing, Xiao Xue'er, and other disciples also kept scanning the cultivators of the same level as them, as if they were looking for opponents.
The Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation cultivators all performed similarly, their ignited passion making them determined to obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance.
Zhou Jian transmitted his voice to Qin Feng, "Sigh, it seems quite a few people will perish here."
Qin Feng replied, "There's no way around it, this is an open conspiracy. They gave us benefits before, and now they're using the promise of an Emperor's successor as bait, so they're bound to fight tooth and nail for it."
"Don't even mention the disciples, even you King-level experts are getting excited right now, aren't you? I suggest you be a little more rational and don't really plunge headlong into it."
Zhou Jian shook his head. "I'm afraid it won't be of much use. Everyone's passion has been ignited, and it's hard to calm down. There's a feeling that they can't live without going crazy."
The notice included new instructions, prompting Golden Core cultivators to choose sides according to different factions and begin being randomly assigned opponents.
Bai He shouted to the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, "See? Golden Core stage disciples, step forward quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing was the first to step forward, and the other disciples quickly followed suit.
Xue Tong also instructed the Golden Core disciples of the Huanhua Sect to step forward.
Golden Core disciples from the Myriad Beasts Sect, Medicine King Valley, Heavenly Pride Tower, and Heavenly Sword Sect all stood in their positions.
Yin Tiantian looked at Qin Feng and said, "Junior Brother, shall we go too?"
Qin Feng nodded in response:
"Go ahead, treat it as a training exercise. If you're no match for them, just admit defeat. They differentiate based on the entire Golden Core stage."
You might encounter opponents at the late or even peak Golden Core stage, which would put immense pressure on you.
Xiao Fan and Yin Tiantian nodded and then stood at the back of the Tianjian Sect's line.
Xiao Shitou and Shen Mengying were also there.
The array in the main hall began to operate, automatically identifying the six factions.
At the same time, two dazzling white beams of light appeared and randomly shone on the group of Golden Core disciples.
The beam of light eventually landed on a male disciple of the Hehuan Sect and a female disciple of the Huanhua Sect.
These two were chosen as opponents, and only one of them can advance.
At the same time, the energy shield of one of the life-and-death arenas slowly opened.
The two Golden Core stage disciples understood and stepped onto the life-or-death arena with fighting spirit.
After they stepped onto the stage, the energy shield of the Life and Death Platform closed again.
The white beam of light did not stop; it continued to select the next target.
They are disciples of Tianjiao Tower and Wanshou Sect.
The two disciples ascended to another platform for life and death.
Similarly, disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Medicine King Valley ascended the third Life and Death Arena.
All three arenas for life and death were full, and the white beams of light ceased functioning.
Everyone focused their attention on the three life-or-death arenas.
They weren't concerned about who won or lost, but rather about the consequences of the victory or defeat.
There are no referees on the life-or-death arena. Once you enter the arena, the final battle begins and continues until one person admits defeat or falls down.
The Hehuan Sect faces the Huanhua Sect, the Tianjiao Tower faces the Wanshou Sect, and the Tianjian Sect faces the Yaowang Valley.
Intense battles broke out on all three arenas.
I don't know if it's because of the Emperor's succession or because of the attention it receives from so many people.
As soon as they stepped onto the life-or-death arena, they were filled with enthusiasm, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they fought fiercely against each other.
The Hehuan Sect and the Huanhua Sect, in particular, were like mortal enemies, their relationship fraught with tension.
Both of them quickly sustained injuries, but they seemed unconcerned and continued to fight relentlessly, which was somewhat puzzling.
Others might see this as their obsession with inheriting the Emperor's legacy, but Qin Feng frowned and said to Leng Yuexi:
"Xiaoxi, something seems off. They're acting a bit crazy, all they care about is fighting."
Leng Yuexi nodded. "Something's not right. They seem to have fallen into a frenzy, only knowing how to fight. Brother Feng, look at the other two life-or-death arenas, the battles are also very intense."
Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi's conversation was not kept secret, and others could hear it too.
Unexpectedly, instead of becoming wary because of Qin Feng's words, they mocked him for making a fuss.
Jiang Yan said disdainfully to Qin Feng:
"Qin Feng, you're usually pretty brave, so why have you become such a coward here?"
"Who wouldn't care about being the successor to the Great Emperor? Isn't it normal to be a little fanatical? What's so strange about that? Really."
Jiang Yan's words resonated with many, and several people began to look down on Qin Feng.
Bai He, a powerful expert at the King Realm, narrowed his eyes. Qin Feng's words made him wary. He carefully observed the people on the life-and-death arena, but he couldn't see anything wrong, so he had to give up.
Zhou Jian said to Qin Feng, "Could it be that you're being too sensitive? I actually think this kind of reaction is understandable."
Qin Feng shook his head. "Maybe. We'll find out soon enough."
