After Fu Bui spoke, all the youths, ie 10000 of them were arranged into smaller groups and their age was measured. To measure their age, arrays were used. The array will measure the bone age of the contestant if their age is above 15, then they will be forcefully sent out of the array. This test was fairly simple so it went without any problems. Among the youths, about 100 of them were rejected being slightly overage leaving behind only 9900 of them. These youths were then divided into a group of 10 with each group having 990 contestants. The battle will be elimination ones and the battle will continue till they found out 10 contestants from each group.
Long Chen was allotted group 7. He quickly saw all the contestants and found that about 10-20 were from Eastern Camp. But he was not familiar with them as he was a loner, so he sat down on meditating pose. After 1 hour the Judge of the stage called, "Long Chen of Eastern Camp vs Tian Muyi from Western Camp, come on the stage".
As soon as the Judge called up the names, the whole area was excited because Tian Muyi was the top genius of Western Camp, with cultivation of peak of 2nd layer of Creation Stage at the age of 15. Tian Muyi with a proud and arrogant face went up to the stage, but when he went there he was dumbfouded"
His opponent was a youth of 10 years old with a handsome face and tall built body for his age but most importantly he was merely a mortal with no cultivation what so ever. He was not the only one, the whole audience was dumbfounded.
"Who is this guy, he is a mere mortal. How can he compete for Martial School? is this guy an idiot or what", said someone among the crowd.
"How can that be, he must have hidden his cultivation otherwise how can Eastern Camp allow him to fight", said another person. Due to Long Chen's appearance rounds of discussion suddenly started in the crowd.
Tian Muyi saw Long Chen casually standing on the stage he furrowed his brows and said, "Brat, Go down before I get mad and accidentally kill you". Long Chen replied him with a slight smile. seeing the smile on Long Chen's face, he suddenly gets angry. He was a heaven-sent genius and this mere mortal brat was not respecting him.
"Brat, you have successfully angered me, now you can die. [Evil Tiger Fist]", roared Tian Muyi.
"OMG, Tian Muyi is using his best killing shot, seems like he is successfully angered by this brat," said someone among the crowds.
"Yeah, this is the best fist technique in the whole Western Camp, Long Chen is dead for sure" another added.
When everyone was predicting that Long Chen will die, He smiled casually and gripped the longsword in his back and said softly," [Killer Sword, 1st move] ".
A flash of silver light suddenly went and destroyed Tian Muyi's attack. However, the power of this strike didn't stop and cut off one of Tian Muyi's arm.
Seeing the strike from the stroke the eyes of the expert lit up. " Its the [sword essence], how can a mere mortal comprehend [sword essence]?".said one of the old Soul Sea stage expert. Another Old monster said, " Its a pity that his physique is unable to cultivate otherwise he would be the most legendary monsters ever seem".
When every Soul Sea expert was sighing, Ling Feng eyes lit up, he said to himself, " It is worth knowing him, though he couldn't cultivate he is a genius in comprehension of sword path".
Judge and the crowd recovered when they heard Tian Muyi's Cry, " my arm, my arm, I will kill you. Long Chen, I will Kill you!!". saying that he fainted. General Xie came to pick up Tian Muyi and he glared at Long Chen and said, "Be careful or you may lose your life".
The judge finally said, " Long Chen wins!!". After that, the crowd was bustling with amazement and excitement. " What was that silvery light. Was that [sword intent]??", someone asked. Someone said, " This is not [sword intent], its [sword essence]. There must not be any mistake because I have comprehended part of [sword intent]". The crowd glanced in the direction of the voice and saw a youth about 14 years of age but with the cultivation of peak of 4th layer of Creation Stage. Crowd saw him with the eyes of reverence because he was the most talented genius in the capital city. He was the 7th prince of Scorching Sky Kingdom, Yang Bufan.
Long Chen went down the stage. Afterwards, the competition returned to normal. For the next couple of matches, all his opponents surrendered because they know his guy is a monster. For the 5th match, Long Chen fought a young man with a cultivation of 3rd layer Creation stage. Long Chen fought with him casually for some time but defeated him with his [Killer Sword, 1st move]. This guy was Tan Lan, a genius of ancient Tan family. As Long Chen defeated him and destroyed Tan Lan's chance to go to Martial School this time, the elders of Tan Family were quite furious. At the end of the day, 10 from each group remained with a total of 100 contestants.
Fu Bui went to the stage and said, "Congratulation to those who passed. Now for the 3rd round, you will be sent to the Demonic Forest's outer area to kill Monsters.
