Chapter 696: Chapter 12 Hidden Dragon Society and Opening of the Secret Realm (10,000+)_5
Even though they were his disciples, Wang Sheng would not blindly trust in his own confidence.
Their strength was strong, but after all, they were not like him, and might not be able to reap any benefits.
However, making the top ten or top five should not be a problem.
Neither Qing Feng nor Mingyue were satisfied with this assessment.
Instead of articulating this, Wang Sheng simply said, “If you’re so confident, then go and give it a try!”
Some things were useless just talking about them.
After the two had left, Wang Sheng laughed and said, “Maybe this is the joy of training apprentices?”
Having cultivated alone for too long, it was quite nice to nurture a couple of young apprentices.
Time passed, and soon, selections from various planets and worlds were completed.
After the ninetieth-anniversary celebration, the Hidden Dragon Society commenced.
It took place within the Virtual World and was streamed live across all of Datong and the four worlds.
Hundreds of billions of sentient beings watched.
Since his disciples were participating, Wang Sheng naturally took time to watch.
“There are indeed many prodigies emerging, Qing Feng and Mingyue will face tough competition!”
He had noticed several prodigies, none of whom were weaker than Qing Feng or Mingyue.
A slight misstep and they might not even make it to the top five.
With the live stream starting, countless beings from the four worlds surged into the Virtual World.
During this short time, Wang Sheng felt the scattered spiritual power increase exponentially.
He was somewhat surprised, but soon he figured, “Normal times do not see so many sentient beings entering the Virtual World all at once.”
Although the Virtual World was convenient, not all beings were continuously logged in.
However, this time, with the grand occasion of the Hidden Dragon Society, nearly ninety percent of Datong’s beings were watching through the Virtual World.
Watching consumed spiritual power.
Naturally, there was an abundance of scattered spiritual power.
“If that’s the case, let me add fuel to the fire!”
He directly communicated with Huangtian, saying a few words.
Before long, everyone knew that the first-place winner of the Hidden Dragon Society could meet with the True Saint and make one reasonable request.
Just this reward alone surpassed all others.
“Oh, how I hate that I cannot participate, this is a chance to meet the True Saint.”
“Damn, I’m just one year too old!”
The contestants, of course, became even more excited.
Instantly, the atmosphere became even more fervent.
The Hidden Dragon Society began.
From the four worlds came five hundred contestants for one-on-one battles.
After three days, the top five were decided.
Qing Feng and Mingyue accounted for two of them.
Followed by Datong College’s top prodigy Shi Ziqin, the first prodigy of the Spirit Clan, Long Shanhe, and the genius from Heavenly Saint Star, Yu Xing.
These five prodigies competed for the ultimate victory.
Not enough for Wang Sheng, who could already roughly guess the rankings.
The final battle was watched by almost ninety-five percent of Datong’s beings, and the scattered spiritual power reached a pinnacle.
One day was comparable to a month, truly terrifying.
Eventually, the rankings were decided.
This also became the latest Hidden Dragon List.
[First: Shi Ziqin from Datong College’s Fourth Realm
Second: Long Shanhe from Dragon Clan’s Fourth Realm
Third: Qing Feng from Qingshan Village’s Fourth Realm
Fourth: Yu Xing from Heavenly Saint Star’s Fourth Realm
Fifth: Mingyue from Qingshan Village’s Fourth Realm
…]
“Just as I expected!” Wang Sheng was not surprised by these rankings at all.
The others, besides Shi Ziqin, were not very far apart.
Any ranking was possible at the end.
Qing Feng and Mingyue being third and fifth respectively were also mainly due to minor missteps, another round could likely change the standings.
Of course, the first place would not change.
“It turns out that cultivating one’s own system, the one most suited to oneself, is indeed the strongest…”
The other four cultivated systems of predecessors.
Only Shi Ziqin created his own system.
Although it borrowed and integrated many systems, it truly was the most suitable for him.
And Wang Sheng had already discerned Shi Ziqin’s ambition.
He wanted to forge his own path completely, not just appear formidable, but in reality, be somewhat inconsistent.
Wang Sheng had even guessed Shi Ziqin’s request.
After the battle techniques were rewarded.
Every prodigy had countless eyes on them, no matter how many rewards there were, no power dared act rashly.
It could be foreseen that many years later, these prodigies would stand at the zenith.
The Hidden Dragon Society ended, but Datong’s anniversary celebration was not over.
The influence of the anniversary was significant because Datong announced certain things at the end of the event.
“As everyone knows, Datong’s Cultivation System is numerous, each system’s realms have their own terms, and most of the time, they are referred to simply as First, Second Realm. Taking this opportunity, we will assign a name to each realm and simultaneously apply different treatments.”
The Cultivation Systems of Source Star and Chaotic Realm were numerous.
Therefore, names were generally given in the simplest pattern.
However, as Datong’s strongest had become the Seventh Realm, greatly enhancing its cultural depth and strength, the original names were no longer quite suitable.
Mainly, they lacked representativeness.
Thus, Datong’s high ranks took this opportunity to announce titles for each realm.
[Apprentice, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Extraordinary, Venerable, True King, Pulse Master]
Currently, the strongest is the Seventh Realm, thus only seven realms were set.
Combining the situations of different worlds of Source Star.
The Seventh Realm and the Chaotic Realm’s Pulse Master were similarly simple because, at present, except for the Heavenly Saint Star, the other Seventh Realm’s were creators of their own cultivation systems and were the heads of their lineage, making them the most suitable.
The title of the Pulse Master from Chaotic Realm was handy, so they adopted it!
This kind of title was readily accepted.
And just then, Yuan appeared.
