Unparalleled Divine Power

However, Han Zheng had just mastered the Void Realm Dao, and it was only the first level. Therefore, to Qin Xiao, Han Zheng's Void Realm Dao was still very weak.    

The stronger ones were the stronger ones. You can see some flaws.    

After all, the Void Realm Dao was only a Void Realm Dao. It was naturally far from being comparable to a supreme skill like the Void Realm True Body.    

The first level of the Void Realm Dao didn't provide much help to Han Zheng's strength. He estimated that it wouldn't be of much use to him in the selection stage.    

At the very least, he needed to reach the level of the third level before he could use it as a means of harming others. If it was only the second level, then there would only be some supplementary effects.    

Han Zheng continued his cultivation in one go, and smoothly broke through to the second level of the Void Realm Dao.    

With a moment of enlightenment, his breakthrough naturally went smoothly.    

This was the Great Dao. The most important thing was the word 'comprehension'. Sometimes, enlightenment. That was naturally a matter of being able to understand a hundred things at a time. It was a very easy thing to achieve.    

The Dao could be cultivated for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. It could also be broken through in an instant.    

Comprehension was also something that could only be chanced upon by luck.    

This sort of thing was like a great opportunity. When destiny arrived, the benefits would fall on you. If luck didn't arrive... If you pursued too much, you would probably only be trapped in a quagmire and unable to escape.    

However, he didn't succeed in breaking through to the third level. The effects of the epiphany had already passed, so it would be more difficult to go any further.    

This forced Han Zheng to stop. He shook his head and laughed. "It seems that my accumulation is far from enough. I can't increase it by too much just with one enlightenment. It's already considered heaven defying for me to be able to cultivate the Void Realm Dao to the second level in such a short period of time. "    

"This kind of thing can't be rushed. If my foundation isn't strong enough, I won't be able to push it up. What I need now is to accumulate myself "    

The tenth round of selection was about to begin.    

After organizing his emotions, Han Zheng left the room and quickly arrived at the selection area.    

Compared to the previous time when he was mocked and ridiculed by others, Han Zheng did not receive such treatment this time. However, he didn't receive any good treatment either. In comparison, Hongling's status was completely different.    

Hongling's shocking performance last time had naturally caused his status to rise, reaching a level that was almost comparable to Ying Loong and the other two.    

Even...    

Someone had already started to use Hongling as a topic of conversation. They felt that he might also be the one who would be the most exciting candidate to compete for the first place.    

At this moment, Hongling was also being held high by the crowd. His face was wild and unruly, revealing his arrogance. This attitude was not any smaller than Ying Loong and the other two.    

But who asked him to have the strength? Therefore, no one dared to look down on him.    

Han Zheng walked over. Hongling's contemptuous gaze swept over him and did not look at him anymore. Clearly, she did not care about him.    

Han Zheng was not affected. He found a quiet place to sit down and quietly waited for the selection to start.    

The tenth round, eleven rounds, twelve rounds.    

From the thirty thousand contestants in three rounds, there were less than eight thousand contestants left.    

These three rounds were very easy for Hongling. After all, her strength had improved a lot during these ten years. Furthermore, she had cultivated the Void Realm Dao, which could assist her in battles. This had also increased Han Zheng's means of fighting.    

Without using any illusions, he had easily taken down these three rounds and smoothly advanced to the thirteenth round.    

On Hongling's side, it was as domineering as ever. It carried on his usual style and did not give anyone a chance to resist. As long as he attacked, there was only one outcome, which was to send his opponent out of the martial arts arena and end the battle in such a domineering way.    

Other than that, he disdained to use other moves.    

No matter how many tricks his opponent had gone through, no matter if the other party came prepared or not, he could not escape Hongling's attack. She only used one move. There were no exceptions.    

Such an overbearing action really made others feel some fear towards Hongling. No one was willing to touch Hongling.    

But there would always be people who were unlucky.    

After the three rounds, another ten years of rest period was over. The selection was also gradually coming to an end and the battle situation was getting more and more intense.    

In Xuanhuang City, it was even more bustling. All kinds of news were spread out.    

Han Zheng's performance during these five rounds had naturally surprised many people.    

The Yuelai Inn was naturally trying its best to please Han Zheng, but Han Zheng didn't really care about these things. His mental state had become even fainter.    

Another ten years of rest and reorganization. However, Han Zheng's strength did not increase as quickly as before. The improvement in these ten years was rather limited.    

He didn't have a big breakthrough. The Void Realm Dao was still stuck in the second level, and there was no way for him to break through to the third level.    

The Myriad Dao, Five Elements Heaven, illusion, and Void Realm Dao had all not been broken through.    

The illusion and Void Realm Dao were both at the breakthrough level, only a small step away from breaking through. However, this small step wasn't that easy to break through.    

In this ten years, Han Zheng's main goal was to accumulate experience in all aspects.    

He also knew that cultivation could not be rushed. With Qin Xiao's guidance, he had already taken fewer detours. If he was more anxious, once his foundation was unstable, it would be dangerous.    

A hundred thousand feet tall building was built on the foundation stone. Once the foundation stone had a problem, it would be the end of the world, and the consequences would be unimaginable.    

The thirteenth round, the fourteenth round, and the fifteenth round. In these three rounds, there were almost 8,000 people, and after being eliminated, there were less than 1,000 people left.    

There were a few more rounds. It was almost over.    

After another three rounds, there were only about a hundred people left. Han Zheng actually managed to hold on all the way. It could be said that he was lucky and encountered a very powerful existence. Thus, he had never been forced to use his illusion technique.    

The remaining hundred plus people were left in an interesting state.    

Most of the remaining hundred or so people could be absorbed into the Heavenly Court Island as outer circle disciples.    

Although theoretically, the number of outer sect disciples that the Heavenly Court selected should be 100 people, it was not absolute. It might be a little more or a little less.    

Besides, there were only 112 of them left. It was possible that all of them would be absorbed by the Heavenly Court Island.    

The Heavenly Court's selection had finally entered the most intense and thrilling stage.    

Next, there wouldn't be a rest period, all the way until the top ten were decided.    

The Heavenly Court's selection would only determine the top ten, the rest wouldn't be ranked.    

If one could enter the top ten, then there was a chance that one Expert would take a fancy to him and take him in as a disciple. It was either an in-name disciple or a personal disciple. It was also possible that he would be directly recruited by the Heavenly Court Island as a disciple.    

Of course, the possibility of this happening was extremely low. It would be hard to find even one in ten billion years.    

Before the final battle began, Han Zheng said to Qin Xiao with a serious expression, "Senior. My strength has already reached the limit. It would be very difficult for me to face the next battle. As for me, right now... Without any signs of a breakthrough, it will be very difficult for me to make a breakthrough. If I can't break through... Then I'm afraid I'll be defeated very soon, and I won't be able to go any further."    

Qin Xiao's face revealed a trace of a smile. He waved his hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. Just be yourself. It was already very rare for you to reach this step. Since you won't be able to get any ranking, but you should be able to be absorbed into the Heavenly Court Island as an outer circle disciple. To be able to become an outer circle disciple of the Heavenly Court Island, this is a good thing for you. It's also incomparably huge."    

"As long as you follow your heart and follow this path, you will have a great chance of becoming an Expert in the future."    

"Your dream all this time was to become an Expert, right?"    

Han Zheng nodded his head heavily. That's right, his dream all along was to become an Expert.    

As long as he could become an Expert, he would be able to protect his people with his own strength. He would bring a stable and peaceful environment to his people, and let them live a good life.    

He would no longer be homeless or bullied, and he would be able to live a prosperous life.    

Wasn't this what he needed?    

For him to be able to reach this point, it could be said to be extremely impressive, extremely difficult.    

If he could become an outer circle disciple of Heavenly Court Island, that would be enough.    

But now, he should be able to do it.    

However, it was not absolute. He still wanted to win another round. As long as he won another round, it would be more stable.    

He still had illusions that he hadn't used yet. Once he used his illusion technique, Han Zheng was confident that he could win another round.    

He was only a step away from success.    

But...    

Han Zheng shook his head in his heart. As for the matter of not being able to complete his senior's task, he could only express his apologies. He had already tried his best.    

The final battle had finally begun, and everyone was paying close attention to it.    

The final battle was no longer the elimination round, but the competition system.    

Everyone had to fight nine battles, win one point, draw, and lose one point. After the nine rounds, they would be ranked according to their points.    

This was the first round of ranking battles. Next would be the second round of ranking battles.    

As for the opponents, they were all randomly chosen, and it was completely up to them to draw lots.    

The first opponent Han Zheng drew was a formidable opponent. He looked at the purple-haired devilish youth in front of him. Han Zheng couldn't help but frown deeply.    

"Liufang Zi, other than Ying Loong and the other two... One of the best. For a time, she was also known as the popular candidate for first place. However, the appearance of Ying Loong and the other two had suppressed his limelight. I have also paid attention to Liu Fangzi's battle before. Her strength is indeed very strong. Furthermore, her battle style is also very overbearing and demonic. He likes to use his fastest speed to defeat his opponent."    

A hint of Liu Fangzi's confidence emerged in Han Zheng's heart. She was the opponent in front of him.    

According to the memories in his mind, Han Zheng knew that he wasn't a match for Liu Fangzi. There should be a big gap between them.    

He didn't expect that he would meet such a formidable opponent in the first battle. This really made Han Zheng feel somewhat helpless.    

Liu Fangzi's devilish gaze revealed a hint of playfulness as it landed on Han Zheng. She let out a sinister laugh. She said, "You are that lucky kid? I heard that an Expert has taken a fancy to you? I really don't know how you are worthy of being taken a fancy to by the Expert. To be able to let you reach this step, you can be considered to have stepped on luck. "    

"However, your luck will be used up when it comes to me. I'll end you."
