Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 798 - 792: The First One_1

"Brilliant!" In the inner court, seeing Wang Denglin submit to Qin Wudao, the Sword Emperor cheered loudly. "One who can achieve Reincarnation must be at least an Immortal King realm Martial Artist! For a future Immortal King to submit is indeed a great boon for humanity."

"Don't celebrate too soon!" the Azure Emperor interjected. "The Divine Skill he used is 'World Burial.' To my knowledge, that is a top-tier inheritance from the Forbidden Abyss! This indicates his identity before Reincarnation was extraordinary, possibly with deep connections to the Forbidden Lord." His tone grew slightly solemn when he mentioned the Forbidden Lord.

"The Forbidden Lord is indeed a problem, but the one humanity is accepting is a prodigy of the Great Qin, not a reincarnator from the Forbidden Abyss!" Emperor Jiang said dismissively, not taking it to heart.

Since the Sky-Breaking Era, forces from Chaos seldom traverse the myriad heavens and worlds. This is also the reason for the contention between the human race and the All Clans.

"I have a feeling that things are about to change drastically!" The Azure Emperor looked up, gazing at the Azure sky above, his sight piercing the Void and seeing through the river of time, noticing something unusual.

「On the square!」

All the students looked at the arena, their faces full of confusion.

What happened? Why is Wang Denglin kneeling to Qin Wudao? Wasn't he already a subject of the Great Qin?

Only a few, like Ji Huangdao and Batu, who had some background knowledge, understood the reason and were secretly envious.

On arena number three, Song Tianming, who was fighting Xiang Yu, cursed inwardly as he witnessed Wang Denglin submit to Qin Wudao. Fool! In his view, a reincarnator possesses a noble status and is destined to rank among the peak experts in the future. With such inherent advantages, why debase oneself by submitting to another?

"Daring to be distracted while fighting me?"

Just then, Xiang Yu closed in, his Overlord Spear brandished. An endless kingly might enveloped heaven and earth, causing Song Tianming's expression to change drastically. He felt as if he were in a raging ocean, on the verge of being capsized at any moment.

Damn it! If not for this weak human body hindering my awakening, how could I be so weak now? Song Tianming roared inwardly, defending with all his might, but he was still repelled by Xiang Yu. His throat constricted, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared at Xiang Yu, filled with killing intent and helplessness.

"The waters of the Great River come from the heavens!" on arena number five, Li Bai drunkenly shouted.

Before entering the arena, his craving for alcohol had flared up, and he couldn't resist taking a few hearty gulps. As a result, he was now fighting while hiccuping from drink, his sword swings lacking energy. This demeanor made Duan Jianghe, also a Swordsman, frown deeply.

Shouldn't a Swordsman always maintain peak condition? If he can't even hold his sword steady, how can he defeat an enemy?

But soon, he knew he was mistaken! Li Bai's sword, even when he was drunk, possessed a distinct flair!

The sword descended!

Like a celestial river bursting its banks, it surged forward, its peerless sharpness suppressing the cosmos and annihilating everything in its path.

With a spurt of blood, Duan Jianghe was predictably submerged by the river of sword light. The sword-generated shield before him lasted only a moment before shattering into myriad pieces. He spat out a mouthful of blood, flew off the arena, and fainted.

Even as he lost consciousness, his eyes still held a trace of disbelief, as if he couldn't comprehend why a drunkard could defeat him.

When the last ray of sunlight was devoured by darkness, the competition for the top five concluded.

Qin Wudao, Huo Qubing, Xiang Yu, Gui Guzi, and Li Bai were victorious!

This led to a peculiar situation: the five contenders for 'New Student King' all came from the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

The subsequent matches could be described as utterly uninteresting. Qin Wudao effortlessly secured first place.

BOOM!

When the great battle concluded, the square began to shake. A high platform rose from the ground. Jiang Xuan and a group of instructors descended from the sky, landing steadily on it.

"This Elder hereby announces that the 'New Student Grand Competition' has concluded successfully!" Jiang Xuan declared with a smile. "Will the top ten students of the Grand Competition please come forward to receive your rewards! The rewards for the remaining students will be distributed at a later date!"

The world fell silent. Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, ten individuals, including Qin Wudao, Xiang Yu, and Song Tianming, flew onto the high platform.

First place: Qin Wudao!

Second place: Xiang Yu!

Third place: Huo Qubing!

...

Sixth place: Song Tianming!

...

Tenth place: Wang Denglin!

The rewards were distributed starting with Qin Wudao.

"Keep up the good work!" Jiang Xuan stepped forward, patted Qin Wudao's shoulder amicably, and then produced a treasure. It gleamed with a brilliant purple light, emitting a terrifying aura that caused weapons within a ten-thousand-li radius to tremble and lose their edge.

This treasure was a Hongmeng Connate Spirit Treasure! Due to being obscured by the treasure's glow, its type couldn't be clearly discerned.

"Thank you, Elder!" Qin Wudao bowed, receiving the spirit treasure with both hands.

The instant he touched it, the spirit treasure transformed into a streak of purple light, merged into his body, and settled in his Dantian, completing the ownership-recognition process.

Five-Element Imperial Dragon Armor! It can nullify all attacks from Martial Artists below the Immortal King realm! Even attacks from Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, and Immortal Emperor realm Martial Artists can be partially weakened.

The academy's upper echelons are truly considerate! Qin Wudao thought, feeling deeply grateful.

Among all immortal armaments, defensive treasures are the most precious. This is not only due to the difficulty in forging them but also because demand far exceeds supply. All living beings cherish their lives. In a battle between those of the same realm, anyone possessing a valuable defensive treasure is virtually undefeatable. This has also caused the price of defensive armaments to be inflated, far exceeding other armaments of the same grade.

"This is a Fire Card, holding two hundred thirty thousand academic credits!" Jiang Xuan continued, producing two more items. "And this is a borrowing card for a ninth-grade immortal cultivation technique. You can use it to study a ninth-grade immortal cultivation technique in the Scripture Pavilion!"

After receiving his rewards, Qin Wudao expressed his thanks once more and stepped aside.

For the next nine individuals, Jiang Xuan offered words of encouragement before awarding them their respective armaments, Fire Cards, and borrowing cards. Qin Wudao noticed that each person's armament was tailor-made for them.

"Next, the instructors will lead the students to their respective class mountain peaks!" Jiang Xuan announced loudly after all rewards were distributed.

As his voice fell, over a hundred instructors soared into the sky. Each employed their Divine Skills, leading their class of students as they tore through the Void and departed.

Once everyone had departed, Jiang Xuan, now alone, activated the seal on the square. Countless Dao patterns emerged, making it impenetrable even for an Immortal Sovereign realm Martial Artist.

Undoubtedly, the next time the square reopened, it would be for the subsequent student intake!

「In a certain Starfield」

Two figures wandered aimlessly.

"Big Brother, where are we going?"

These two were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. After leaving the Great Qin Heavenly Court, they had been searching for a target, preparing to gradually seize political power. However, the racial divisions in the myriad heavens and worlds are too profound. Outsiders found it impossible to become high-ranking members within a native power structure; they often lacked even the qualification to join.

Chen Sheng landed on a meteorite and said in a deep voice, "We can only set our sights on the human race! According to the intelligence we've gathered, the human race is not a monolithic entity. It's divided into one hall and four nations, among which the Taihuang Imperial Dynasty is considered a traitor to humanity!"

"The Taihuang Imperial Dynasty..." Wu Guang mused. "I hear the Taihuang Academy is also about to recruit students."

The Taihuang Academy was established by the Taihuang Imperial Dynasty and is an adversary of the Torch Academy. He mentioned it because outstanding graduates from there could directly become officials in the Taihuang Imperial Dynasty and be given important positions. This was precisely what they needed.

As the saying goes, give them an opportunity, and they can overturn heaven and earth!
