Unparalleled Divine Power

King of Damo and Hai Hun stood up at the same time. All the influential people on the spectating platform also stood up.    

The hundred geniuses of the third round below had their spirits lifted, and they were filled with respect.    

Everyone was also guessing in their hearts, who would be the winner of the two spots for the direct disciples?    

Needless to say, these two spots would definitely be chosen from Seventeenth Highness, Gu Feng, Princess Lingloong, Gu Lingyue and Qin Xiao who was ranked first in the Ranking Tournament. The others would definitely not have any hope.    

Saint's prestige was vast and mighty, incomparably solemn.    

King of Damo opened his mouth and said, "I am very gratified that I can see an unprecedented selection. Damo Kingdom, King of Damo said. The prosperity of the nation, thanks to the grace of the heavens. Nowadays, many geniuses have emerged, and they are showing signs of prosperity. If the people were rich, the country would be rich. Strong people made the country. Our Damo Kingdom is founded by martial arts, and all martial arts geniuses... I'm sure you'll get the focal point."    

"This is also the reason why the Damo Academy was established. Those who can walk out of the Damo Academy... Every single one of them is a pillar of the Damo Kingdom. All of them will be conferred the title of Marquis and become the rulers of their empire. "    

"All of you have the talent and potential to do so. However, the path of martial arts is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. If you don't work hard, you will probably be digging your own grave."    

Everyone replied in unison, and their voices were as loud as bells.    

"Haha!" A loud laugh was heard from Hai Hun's mouth, then he continued, "Big brother, don't be too serious. Everyone is concerned about the matter of the direct disciples. I will leave this problem to you, big brother. Let's do it this way. Alright, I'll take little girl Ling Yue as my personal disciple."    

Hai Hun smiled at Gu Lingyue and said, "Little girl, why aren't you coming up to acknowledge me as your master?"    

Gu Lingyue playfully stuck out her pink tongue at Hai Hun, but she still happily went up and respectfully kowtowed three times to Hai Hun. A clear and melodious voice rang out, "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"    

"Alright, alright. Step aside first." Hai Hun nodded his head in satisfaction.    

King of Damo frowned slightly. His eyes fell on Qin Xiao and Gu Feng. He was silent for a while before he said, "I am busy with national affairs. I don't have the mood to teach my disciples. I'm afraid that one personal disciple is enough for me to put in a lot of effort. Besides, I also said that I will only accept one personal disciple. "    

" So - - "    

King of Damo's eyes fell upon Gu Feng. Gu Feng's body trembled slightly, and his expression became even more respectful.    

He was also a little excited in his heart, and he hoped that King of Damo's direct disciple would be him.    

Everyone's eyes fell upon Gu Feng, and they were all waiting for King of Damo to speak.    

Qin Xiao frowned slightly. Although he felt that he had a great chance of becoming King of Damo's direct disciple, no one could guarantee the final result.    

The atmosphere became even more tense. Almost everyone held their breaths, waiting for King of Damo to speak.    

King of Damo finally said, "Gu Feng, your innate talent and disposition are very good. However, there was only one spot for direct disciples. You are in the Imperial Palace, and there are many good masters who can guide you."    

Hum -    

These words struck Gu Feng's heart like a bolt of lightning, causing his expression to turn slightly ugly.    

It's over, the direct disciple isn't him!    

King of Damo's gaze fell upon Qin Xiao once again. Facing King of Damo's gaze, Qin Xiao felt inexplicably nervous.    

This was the number one expert of Damo Kingdom, the true spiritual leader, the god in the hearts of the people.    

Although Qin Xiao had broadened his horizons a lot, he knew that King of Damo's strength could not be considered as the top in the vast Jiuzhou World. However, at least for the current him, King of Damo was an insurmountable mountain.    

Just as King of Damo was about to accept Qin Xiao as his personal disciple, his brows suddenly knitted, causing him to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. A trace of surprise flashed across the depths of his eyes.    

After a slight pause, King of Damo turned his gaze back to Gu Feng.    

Such a change had puzzled everyone, and they didn't understand what it meant.    

What King of Damo said to Gu Feng just now should be that he would not accept him as his personal disciple, but Qin Xiao. But now, without saying a word, he looked back at Gu Feng.    

Gu Feng, who originally didn't have any hope, saw King of Damo looking at him again. The thought that had been extinguished in his heart couldn't help but rekindle.    

"Gu Feng, come forward and acknowledge me as your master!" King of Damo simply said a few words.    

Huala!    

His words caused an uproar.    

Initially, everyone thought that the direct disciple would be Qin Xiao, but they didn't expect that Gu Feng would be chosen in the end.    

"It's me, it's really me..." Gu Feng didn't take back his joy and laughed happily. After tidying up his clothes, he also walked forward quickly, and knelt down respectfully towards King of Damo. His voice was as loud as thunder, and he said, "Disciple greets Master!"    

"Yes, master." King of Damo only slightly nodded his head. Gu Feng did not dare to say anything and quickly retreated. When he walked back, he deliberately looked at Qin Xiao. The corner of his mouth curled up to show a hint of provocation.    

Bai Jianqiu, Mangqi, and Gu Lingyue were dumbfounded. Qin Xiao's expression darkened, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.    

That's right. He was Seventeenth Highness, the grandson of King of Damo. What kind of identity did he have?    

He was just a commoner, how could he be compared to a prince?    

"Forget it. The most important thing in cultivation is to look at one's luck. Without Master's guidance, i, Qin Xiao, have also reached this stage. I believe that even if I don't become King of Damo's disciple, I, Qin Xiao, will definitely be able to walk further." Qin Xiao's heart calmed down very quickly, although he was a little disappointed. However, he didn't think too much about it.    

To be able to become King of Damo's disciple... That would naturally be better. With the guidance of his master, he would naturally be able to avoid detours and make his path of growth smoother.    

However, even if he didn't, that didn't mean that his path had been cut off.    

Therefore, there was nothing to be sad about.    

For example, opportunities were something that could only be chanced upon by luck, and couldn't be sought after. Everything depended on one's luck and fortune.    

To be able to seize first place in the Ranking Tournament, Qin Xiao already had no regrets. At least in this battle, he would become famous throughout the world, and the Qin Family would also advance to a higher level because of this.    

Everything had come to an end. King of Damo and Hai Hun left. White-haired Old Man, who was in charge of the selection, walked over with the Forbidden Guard.    

"Everyone, follow me. I will bring all of you to the Damo Academy. There are still many things waiting for you. All of you can leave now." White-haired Old Man wasn't as dignified as before. Instead, he was friendly and friendly to everyone.    

However, none of them dared to be careless in the face of this Good Magic Stage.    

"Seventeenth Highness, Princess Lingloong, you two don't have to go. You two have just become disciples of Master. You should wait for Master to teach you a lesson." White-haired Old Man said to Gu Feng and Gu Lingyue.    

Gu Lingyue looked at Qin Xiao and said, "I won't be accompanying all of you. Ai, I really don't know what my grandfather was thinking. He actually didn't choose you."    

Qin Xiao smiled frankly and said. "Don't say that. The matter of taking in a younger brother is entirely up to one's personal preference. It's nothing much. It's fine. You go first. We're leaving. "    

Qin Xiao and the others followed White-haired Old Man and left. When they passed by Gu Feng's side, Qin Xiao could clearly feel Gu Feng's provocative and somewhat contemptuous gaze.    

Previously in the Imperial Palace, Qin Xiao had some conflicts with Gu Feng. In the Ranking Tournament. At the final moment, Gu Feng was once again overtaken by Qin Xiao. Even the personal disciple quota just now, he almost lost. Therefore, Gu Feng naturally had a lot of dissatisfaction towards Qin Xiao.    

Qin Xiao only looked at Gu Feng calmly, but didn't say anything.    

"Look at Seventeenth Highness who is pleased with himself, isn't it because of his relationship with His Majesty? Ranking Tournament. Didn't he still lose to Qin Xiao?" Mangqi, on the other hand, was straightforward and somewhat dissatisfied.    

Bai Jianqiu immediately said, "Mangqi, it's better not to say this kind of thing."    

Mangqi naturally knew that he could not say such words carelessly, so he shut his mouth bitterly.    

Qin Xiao, on the other hand, shook his head and smiled. "It's nothing. I don't care. Why are you all standing up for me? Let's go. Cultivating in the Damo Academy is the same. "    

------    

The Damo Academy was located in the western region of the Imperial City. It was not far from the Imperial Palace, only about twenty miles away.    

The Damo Academy occupied a huge area, just like a small Imperial Palace.    

However, the grandeur of the buildings was far from that of the Imperial Palace. It was just that it was ranked in the top of the Imperial City.    

This was because the Damo Academy only recruited eighty-one disciples each time. Furthermore, the selection would only happen once every ten years. Furthermore, once one had a certain amount of strength, they would leave the academy. Young masters of noble families will return to their own clans to inherit the clan's great cause.    

The sons of ordinary families would be conferred the title of officials and generals, serving the country.    

This caused the number of people in the Damo Academy to be very low. Including the teachers, there were more than a hundred of them in total. After all, an ordinary person who cultivated in the Damo Academy for ten years would basically be able to become a teacher. If they were a little later, it's only 20 years.    

Those who stayed for more than twenty years were very few, with the exception of some unambitious old cops.    

However, the Saints of the Damo Academy were all extremely powerful and had unparalleled strength.    

Those who were selected... They were all geniuses amongst geniuses, and they were all extraordinary geniuses. Almost all of them were invincible amongst their peers. Moreover, they were all capable of jumping ranks to kill their enemies.    

Even if there were only over a hundred of them, including the new Saints, there were only over two hundred of them, but the strength of the Damo Academy... It was the undisputed number one.    

Apart from the royal family of Damo Kingdom, there was no other power that could compare with the Damo Academy.    

Today, the Damo Academy was especially lively. Even some of the Saints who were training outside had rushed back, wanting to see this group of junior brothers and sisters.    

"Star Town, this year's Saints. They are truly amazing. I remember that time seven years ago, there was only one genius who merged the Profound Meaning of Sword and the Profound Meaning of Fire. But look at this time. Tsk tsk, Seventeenth Highness, Gu Feng... Sword Skill Deification, level Two of the Profound Meaning of Metal. He has also integrated the Profound Meaning of Sword and Metal."    

" Look at Princess Lingloong Gu Lingyue, a rare and rare body of the five elements, the beloved child of the heavens. She was born with the five elements, and she directly mastered all the Profound Meanings of the five elements. If she can merge all of the five elements in one day, she will be able to break through to the High-grade Profound Truth Five Elements Profound Meaning. "    

" And that Bai Jianqiu, his sword skill is Deification. That Hei Sanzhen, the Deification Staff Master. The Liang Yu who was killed, the Profound Meaning of the Sword and the Profound Meaning of the Earth merged. "    

"The most monstrous one is still that Qin Xiao. Tsk tsk, the combination of the three Profound Meanings of Sword Formation and Wind is equivalent to the power of a middle grade Profound Meaning. He's too monstrous."    

"That doesn't mean that Qin Xiao is truly a peerless genius. Furthermore, he came from a poor family and is only seventeen years old. It's a pity that he isn't the direct disciple."
