Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!
As soon as the crowd saw the king’s actions, their bodies flashed and they followed after him into the Spacial Route.
The Spacial Route was large and, at about hundred square feet wide, all the martial artists could stream into it.
Su Mo followed Gu Tianyi and he also went into the Spacial Route.
In just the span of 2 breaths, all 10,000 martial artists had entered the Spacial Route.
Within the Spacial Route was an Empty World and also an empty space.
Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!
Numerous figures flashed in the Empty World as everyone stared at the scene in front of them.
About 1 kilometer in front of them were five Dragon Pillars.
Every Dragon Pillar was one kilometer tall and the width of each was estimated to be a minimum of a few hundred meters. The Dragon Pillars were painted in a pure gold color and a majestic stone dragon was carved on the top of each of them as though there was a mystic dragon wrapping its body around the pillars.
The 5 pillars were separated, standing a few kilometers from each other, and as they hung in the air, they looked like ancient mythical creatures.
Everyone was captivated by the sight in front of them. Although they had never seen these Dragon Pillars, they had heard of their existence long ago.
These were the 5 Dragon Pillars that would pick the 5 candidates to enter the Sky Dragon Contest.
The king’s tall and burly body hovered in the air in front of the crowd as he stared with his fierce eyes at the 5 Dragon Pillars and said in a loud voice, “The rules do not change. You are not allowed to gang up on one person and whoever manages to take a Dragon Pillar for himself at the end will win!”
Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!
The moment the king spoke, three sharp air-rending sounds followed suit as three figures shot towards 3 different pillars at the speed of light.
The top of every pillar was a large, hundred-meter-wide platform.
These 3 figures were the First Prince, Second Princess and Third Prince.
As the royal children, the 3 of them were strong and they decided to take a pillar for themselves first.
The king smiled slightly as he had not witnessed his children’s strengths and he could take the chance today to see how much they had grown.
“Alright, the selection contest will officially begin now!” The king announced.
Instead of a chaotic battling scene occurring immediately, the crowd stood in their spots as their faces hardened
The final one who took control of a pillar would win and it didn’t mean that the first to a pillar would be selected.
On the other hand, the first contestant who took control of a pillar would have to face many subsequent battles. As such, the first controller of a pillar could be easily defeated by others later on.
However, the First Prince, Second Princess and Third Prince were all individually strong and they were not afraid of being defeated later on.
Su Mo did not rush to act out as well as he knew the logic behind such a mode of contest. Acting later would be more advantageous and as long as he controlled a pillar at the end, he would be selected. Therefore, he didn’t need to act too early.
Acting too early would mean that he would encounter an uncountable number of challenges. Although he wasn’t afraid of battling, he did not want to go through the trouble of battling too much.
Shoosh!
Finally, someone acted and a tall, strong, red-armored young man flashed forward and sped towards a Dragon Pillar.
This person was the Platoon Leader of the Third Platoon, Xu Feng.
Seeing that Xu Feng had taken a pillar for himself and there was only a last pillar left, Zhu Tong’s body flashed and he immediately took the last pillar for himself.
By now, Zhu Tong was no longer a Rank 8 Martial Honorable and he had already reached the early realm of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm.
In the blink of an eye, all 5 pillars were occupied by one person. Those 5 occupants were all Rank 9 Martial Honorables.
The 5 experts stood domineeringly on the 5 tall pillars as they released their auras. They stared down fiercely at the crowd, daring anyone to challenge them.
The First Prince, Gu Cangtian, was especially domineering as his aura shot towards the sky and sent chills down others’ spines.
Everyone scanned and surveyed the five people as they laughed bitterly. Although they wanted to be selected for the Sky Dragon Contest, they were basically just spectators in this contest.
No one could have any battling spirit against the 5 experts.
However, since they had come, they couldn’t possibly do nothing at all. Even if they wouldn’t be selected in the end, they would still give it a try.
Shoosh!
A black-shirted figure flashed and flew towards Zhu Tong’s Dragon Pillar. A young man instantly appeared on the platform of the pillar Zhu Tong was on.
“Zhu Tong, I want to challenge you!”
The black-shirted young man stared intently at Zhu Tong. Among the 5 who occupied the 5 pillars, the First Prince, Second Princess and Third Prince were simply too strong and there was no way to win them over. As such, the only choice left was to challenge Zhu Tong or Xu Feng already.
He had chosen Zhu Tong who had recently became a Rank 9 Martial Honorable.
“You don’t know your place!” Zhu Tong checked his opponent’s strength and almost let out a cold scoff. The black-shirted man was only at the peak of the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm and he had actually dared to challenge him. He really didn’t know his place.
With that, Zhu Tong attacked instantly, without even using his longspear as he struck out straight with his fist.
This punch was light and encompassed no significant aura. However, the force of it was incredibly strong.
Bright red Fist Radiance drew a flash of red light across the sky as it burned with fire energy hotly. At an unimaginable speed, it approached the black-shirted young man’s speed.
“Shit!” The black-shirted young man jumped in fright. The fist gave him a terrible sense of danger
Without warning, the young man immediately struck out with his sword.
However, his efforts were valiant and the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm young man was directly shoved off the Dragon Pillar platform. He flew back a few kilometers away and spat out fresh blood through his mouth. He had evidently suffered heavy injuries.
“Cant even stand a single blow!” Zhu Tong shook his head slightly. He did not even need to use half of his full strength to easily defeat such an opponent
There were many people who had p
