Chapter 60 The Neutral zone
Fire Secret Realm Neutral Zone.
There was a huge crown coming towards it and you could see teams forming. After they were only 20 spots on the Fire Qi pool.
About 1,000 people enter the Fire Secret Realm but only about 200 people were in the neutral zone. The other 800 some of them were dead and the most of them devided to keep hunting they didnt have strength enough to enjoy the fire qi pool. This was the neutral zone because there was zero fire beast here most of them were huntdown mercilessly since the begining. After all this was also the place in which the fire qi pool would open up.
Every strong cultivator were here. Most groups apparently had at least 1 Void King realms on their teams.
But there was a particular group who had 2 Void King realm cultivators. While the rest were on the Empyrean realmlate stage. One of the Void King Realm had a red cloth on him with flame emblem representing the Fire desert sect while the other had a a purple robe that had the emblem of the Dark moon empire.
They had some sense of arrogance between the eyebrows.
"Prince Zhou Ki isn't that fiancée of you older brother?" Spoke The Fire sect disciple.
Zhou Ki look and was surprise to find Wu Rud her. But even more surprise to see the beauties around her. He felt move but seeing the tails on them his eyes shrank.
"It seem miss wu is very close to the Demon Fox clan." Spoke The guy in red.
"Brother Teng Lu where is the other Void King Realm who was sopposed to come." Spoke Zhou ki.
"I dont know i have send him couple of signals-" When Teng Lu was speaking he was interrupted by a big conmotion and Laughs.
Zhou Ki and Teng Lu look and were shock to see some a group of 10 people coming with orange leafs covering the intimate parts. Practically naked making the cultivators around them laugh at them.
"Ha." Even Zhou Ki let out chuckle.
Ku Tou walk with his head up even though he was being ridiculing. While the other copy his move. He arrived in front of Zhou Ki and Teng Lu.
"Hey brother Teng Lu do you any spare clothes i could use?." Ask with embarrassed expression.
"What happen to you?" Ask Weirdly looking at his fellow sect disciple with leaf as clothes.
"Sigh were attack by Upper Nirvana Fire beast stomach at the end we lost everything even our storage ring." Spoke Ku tou and kept explaining how a Nirvana Realm even burn they storage ring and cripple Wang meng.
After he and the group lead to a conclusion that it was better say they fought a Nirvana Realm beast as to escape shame. Instead of saying the were beat up by a young boy. If this spread he might bully on the Fire Sects. They would categorize him as weak.
And sure enough even Zhou Ki look at the with simpathy and a little admiration.
"Yea sure brother you guys are lucky to be honest. I dont know if can survive such a thing." Spoke Teng Lu with also sympathy expression. Throwing a cloth of their sect to him while the other also gain some random cloths to covered up the shame.
After dressing up they introduced themselves and Zhou ki learn that Ku tou was the guy they were waiting for.
Back to the Tang sun side.
The 7 people were sitting on chair in a circle which Wu rud took out form her storage ring.
Even though it might be abnormal to take a chair and table from a storage ring. People in the cultivation base tend to have to man stuff on their storage ring. Some people would be surprised in what kind stuff they cand find in storage rings. After all cultivators tend to feel the storage ring are like your second house but private even though you can't get in there.
"For real? i really to see one of those i hear they tend to hide and if you can find them is like a pet of wealth." Spoke Li Li happily.
"Well if get one those I'll definitely pet it well instead of using to do heavy work." Spoke Huo Li.
Making them the rest speechless....
"He I know this is not from the same topic but are any of you going to participate on the Holy tournament?" Ask Wu Rud.
"Holy tournament?" Ask Tang Sun.
"You don't know what's the holy tournament?"
Ask in disbelief Wu rud.
"Me neither we just got out to adventure so we don't know bit about the actuall events." Spoke Baishi.
The whole group knew this guys were mysterious perhaps they belong to an old powerhouse secluded. But at the end they didn't care nobody is here for origins just for adventure.
"Well the Holy tournament is sponsored directly by the Holy Academy where every would go the the Holy Academy to participate. They are 3 tournament in one which competes 3 different types of cultivators with different realms. The first part is about the Over Lord King Realm cultivators you to participate you must not pass the 5,000 years.The second part is for the Empyrean Realm, You must not pass the age of age of 10,000 years.And finally the more important one the third part in which only cultivators at the Age of the Void King Realm can participate and mist not pas the age of 30,000 years." Wu rud explained the rules.
"I see... are there any benefits?" Ask Tang sun curiously.
"Well for the first part only the top 1,000 on the ranking can enter as handy man. While for the 2 part the people who reach to top 500 can enter as outer disciple. Now for our category the top 100 can enter as inner disciples. You must know that benefits of the Holy Academy are rich no matter what background you can enter." Spoke Wu Rud.
"Now for the finally details for each category the top 10 can receive extra rewards. For the category of the Overlord King Realm cultivators they can enter as outer disciple and get Upper Spirit stones. While for the Empyrean Realm cultivators The top 10 can enter as inner disciple and gain a Upper Spirit stones and Holy Rank Pills. And finally the Void King Realm cultivators the top 10 can gain cultivation manuals, Upper spirt stone pearls essence which is a big benefit for the cultivator and finally become core disciples."
Spoke Wu rud excitedly.
"Is it really good the Holy academy?" Ask baishi.
"You must know that you get lectures from experts which can help you on the Nirvana Realm the Holy Academy even has a Heavenly Deity Realm cultivator who is actually the dean of the Holy Academy. Apart from that different from the Top forces you have no obligation and there are not many restrictions there. Plus if you have the ability you can get resources by doing mission over there." Spoke Wu rud.
After all the major souce have the resources as monopoly and most of them are Sects, empires, and families but the Holy Academy is like the alchemy guild that if you have the ability you can get resources to raise your Cultivation. Or like the Wu chamber of comerce that if you have the money you can get the resources.
"Must random cultivators or middle Upper forces send they to study on the Holy Academy." Spoke Wu rud.
Since Wu rud a teenager her father have not given her any resources because of her refusal to marry one of the princes of the Dark Moon Empire making her struggle to get resources by her means and her mother supporting her.
She knew if she become a core disciples even his father can't obligate her to get married.To be honest Wu rud is only less the 1,000 years old and she already reach by herself late stage of Empyrean Realm and she is one step in to breakthorough the Void King realm. If her father and the Wu chamber of comerce elders knew of her cultivation they would be fill with regret. After all instead of supporting a genius you supress them. What a joke but o well that's how sometimes life work.
Tought Wu Rud.
"I'm tempted to be honest." Said Tang Sun while thinking perhaps she, baishi and Lin cheng could go there. That of course if Lin cheng doesn't have any plans already.
"To be honest the Holy Academy is a good place but we in the Demon Fox Clan had our own System of teaching, so baishi you should visit with us the Demon Fox clan what do you think?" Ask Li Li excitedly.
Baishi was actually also tempted but to go the Demon Fox clan, during this days she hear so many wonders. And she also was curious to see people like after apart from Lin cheng who can give her infinite warmth. She also wanted to interact with more foxes. Even though she got the memory of her bloodline and knew many stuff. It was like the mutual likeness of same specie since they tend to be familiar. She always wanted to have friend that's why back in Tianwu Continent she love to hang around with the Tang family teenagers.
But if it means leaving Lin cheng she couldn't after all there were like family it wasn't a lie to say the bond between her and Lin cheng was from soul to soul. So she would wait for Lin cheng and see what happens. She knew he wouldn't make a decision with consulting her.
