Chapter 272: The Green Talent List Begins
However, this path seemed to lead to certain death. Lin Yun swore to himself that no matter how difficult, he would carve a bloody path forward. This was his last chance to save his parents, his teacher, and his friends.
Before the Green Talent List competition, Lin Yun successfully broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Qi Sea Realm. With only two days remaining, he spent the time completely stabilizing his new cultivation.
The Green Talent List competition was divided into two rounds. The first round was essentially a screening process. Anyone who couldn’t even pass it was deemed unqualified to attract the attention of the great forces.
As in previous years, when the Green Talent List began, the other Five Great Forces from the Eastern Domain would come to spectate. On one hand, it was a chance for everyone to gather. On the other, these Five Great Forces were also there to see if any demon fiend-level geniuses had emerged in the Southeast Domain.
However, to even have a chance of catching the eye of these great forces, one had to survive the first round. Representatives from the great forces wouldn’t be present for the first round; they would only appear for the arena battles in the second.
Following a Steward, Lin Yun was led to the entrance of Celestial Eagle Valley.
The first round’s trial was Celestial Eagle Valley. All geniuses participating in the Green Talent List had to traverse the valley and emerge from the exit on the other side within seven days.
Standing at the entrance to the valley, Lin Yun sized up the talented young people around him. This group represented the most gifted individuals in the entire Southeast Domain.
There were two hundred of them, but at most, only twenty or thirty would successfully traverse Celestial Eagle Valley. Only those few would earn the right to compete in the final contest before the great forces.
"Haha, Junior Brother Lin Shan, I knew you’d be here!" As Lin Yun was observing the crowd by himself, a hearty laugh rang out from behind, and a young man clapped him on the shoulder.
