Chapter 75 - Imperial Capitals Chu Yong (1/2)

“The G.o.dfiends are here!” someone exclaimed.

Meng Chuan, Meng Dajiang, and Yan Jin raised their heads and saw three streaks of light fly over. They could barely make out the three figures flying towards them. The leader was a linen-clothed man. Behind him were a cyan-clothed woman and a sloppy man.

Huh? Meng Chuan and Yan Jin felt stabbing pain in their eyes. Their heartbeats quickened, and their lifeblood turned unstable. They hurriedly looked down, afraid of looking straight at them.

None of the mortals dared to take another look. Meng Dajiang also lowered his head slightly.

“Flight with just the body?”

“These three can actually fly with their bodies. Only Marquis G.o.dfiends can fly.”

“Every Archean Mountain entrance examination would have a Regis G.o.dfiend and two Marquis G.o.dfiends presiding and managing it. The one leading the group is King East River!” As the bustling crowd lowered their heads, they conversed via voice transmissions. One could release their Quintessential Energy to transmit voice transmissions once they were in the Force realm. Most of the people present were capable of sending voice transmissions.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

The three Archean Mountain G.o.dfiends landed at another spot in Blazing Sun Palace.

“Everyone, King East River and the two G.o.dfiends have arrived.” There were some stewards inside the Blazing Sun Palace as well. One of them, a goateed man, loudly said, “All who are partic.i.p.ating in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination, line up according to the names I call out. The first one is Dragoncloud State’s Wu Chang. Second, Jiang State’s Zhang Ping. Third…”

Names were called out one by one. Youths lined up as their names were called.

“87th, Wu State’s Meng Chuan.”

After hearing that, Meng Dajiang immediately said, “It’s your turn now, hurry over.”

“Okay.” Meng Chuan immediately ran to the back of the long line.

“88th, Archean City’s Qi Chou.” Another young man stood behind Meng Chuan.

…

A total of 312 people were partic.i.p.ating in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination this year.

“All of you, follow me.” said the goateed man loudly. He walked ahead, and the three hundred-plus geniuses followed him obediently. Be it princes or princesses, children of Regis G.o.dfiends, or extremely talented geniuses, all of them followed the rules. When they saw the auras of the Regis G.o.dfiend and the two Marquis G.o.dfiends, they had felt the astonis.h.i.+ng difference in strength.

Just a glance from a distance caused their lifeblood to become chaotic. This made them even more eager to become G.o.dfiends.

After they left the square, they pa.s.sed through a palace door.

They arrived at a small palace yard, where a group of G.o.dfiends were seated in the distance. The G.o.dfiends who had escorted the geniuses from the twenty-three states of the Great Zhou Dynasty—such as Marquis Southcloud and the others—were all chatting and laughing. King East River—who was in charge of presiding over the entrance examination—was seated at the seat of honor while the other two Marquis G.o.dfiends were seated to his sides.

King East River was dressed in linen clothes. He restrained his aura, making him appear like an ordinary person. However, his bearing was dissimilar to a mortal’s.

“Marquis West Sea, your son comprehended Force at the age of thirteen. His talent can be said to be extremely high! He can be given an additional spot and directly enter Archean Mountain. Why did he partic.i.p.ate in the test?” King East River laughed.

Marquis West Sea—who was seated beside him—immediately laughed and said, “Senior Brother, that kid of mine has always had a mind of his own. Two months ago, he comprehended Force and insisted on partic.i.p.ating in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination. He said that he was going to compete with all the elites in the world. This kid didn’t think through it. He has just comprehended Force, and his compet.i.tors are far older than him. Most of them are at higher cultivation realms and have richer battle experience than him. Isn’t he just seeking trouble for himself? But he still insisted on coming.”

“It’s good to broaden his horizons.” King East River smiled as he swept his gaze across the three hundred-plus geniuses walking over. His face changed slightly.

“Humph.” King East River suddenly let out a cold snort—it was as if thunder was echoing out in all directions of the palace yard.

The three hundred-plus people were shocked. Even the G.o.dfiends were astonished.

“Our Archean Mountain limits partic.i.p.ants’ age to twenty years old or younger,” said King East River. “Among the 312 of you, one of you has already exceeded twenty years of age. If you step out obediently, you will be punished lightly. If I catch you, I believe you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

“Exceed twenty?” Meng Chuan and company broke out in a commotion.

Suddenly, two youths walked out of the group. The two exchanged glances, both stunned.

One of them bowed respectfully in the direction of the G.o.dfiends. “I am Yu Wanfeng from the Chang State. I was an orphan that was later adopted by the Yu family. I don’t know my true age either.”

The other youth said respectfully, “I am Tian Gu from the An State. When I was a child, my hometown was invaded by demons and I wandered the land. I was young back then, and I don’t know my exact age either. When the Tian family adopted me, they decided that I was five years old.”
