C462 On the Eve of Selection
The two of them were well aware of the effects of soul crystals. Not only could they greatly increase the purity of a person's soul, they could also advance the potential of a martial emperor's talent.
Lau Yu gave away such an advantage just like that. The two of them looked at Lau Yu in disbelief.
Even though Yu Sunyu liked Gongsun Xuanxuan a lot, he knew that he might not be able to give the soul crystal to Gongsun Xuanxuan without thinking. Yet, Lau Yu gave the opportunity to do so to Huo Ling'er.
The way the two of them looked at Lau Yu changed. They thought that Lau Yu wouldn't have any intentions towards Huo Ling'er, right?
Lau Yu obviously saw the ambiguous look in their eyes and glared at the two. Lau Yu said: "I don't have much use for soul crystals, so I should be able to help my friend a little. Plus, didn't you also pay the spirit stones as usual?"
Huo Ling'er nodded and didn't say anything else. It was already a miracle that her character could be thanked over and over again. It would be difficult for her to say anything more.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce him. These two are my friends. His name is Duan Fei and his name is Yu Sunyu. Like me, they are also here to participate in the Imperial City Selection." Lau Yu introduced himself to Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er nodded and said to the two of them, "Xuanxuan often mentions you two in front of me. I'm very happy to meet you two."
"It's true!" Duan Fei said in surprise, then asked, "Then what did she say?"
Huo Ling'er said hesitantly, "About this …"
Forget it, Duan Fei already knew the answer. Huo Ling'er definitely didn't say anything good about him.
When Huo Ling'er saw this, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile. Instantly, it was as if a hundred flowers bloomed in spring, and her heart, no matter how sad she was, would become joyful.
Although Lau Yu was surprised by the effect of the soul crystals on Huo Ling'er, which far exceeded his expectations, he thought that Huo Ling'er's strength had probably increased even more.
Thinking about this, Lau Yu couldn't help but ask: "With your current strength, I wonder how far you have progressed?"
"I'm not too sure, but it should be easy to deal with a first or second grade Martial Emperor. In a few days, my control of the Heaven and Earth powers will increase a little, and a third grade Martial Emperor Martial Cultivator should not be a match for me." Huo Ling'er answered honestly.
A few of them took in a breath of cold air. They never expected Huo Ling'er's strength to be at such a level.
Duan Fei exclaimed: "Seems like this time, entering the Five Great Divine Colleges, you are 90% sure of yourself, your highness."
Lau Yu was surprised as well. He didn't expect that Huo Ling'er's current strength was about the same as his.
Huo Ling'er, on the other hand, had a pure soul. Her control over her own strength shouldn't have been stronger than his. After all, he cultivated both the Qi and the body.
Therefore, Huo Ling'er's only advantage was her control over the energy of heaven and earth.
Thinking about this, Lau Yu couldn't help but ask, "Princess Ling'er, I wonder how much of the control you have over the Power of Heaven and Earth has reached?"
"It's almost at eighty percent now. In a few days, it should be at eighty percent." Huo Ling'er answered after a moment of hesitation.
Lau Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. Through his summary, Lau Yu discovered that, normally, 10% of the Power of the Heavens and the Earth could make up for the difference of a small realm.
For example, a Martial Cultivator of the eighth stage of Martial Emperor was able to control forty percent of the energy of heaven and earth, while the other one only had Martial Emperor's Seventh Grade. However, if he could control fifty percent of the energy of heaven and earth, the strength the two could unleash would be about the same.
This way, just based on the cultivation level of the Qi Cultivating Stage could be considered as the advantage of a small world, allowing him to fight those three small realms above him.
Huo Ling'er's strength was also equivalent to a small realm higher than his, and her control over her strength was also stronger than his. Even with the advantages of a small world, as well as her body tempering.
In the end, Lau Yu could only guarantee his victory over Huo Ling'er. However, he had to compete in endurance.
Lau Yu sighed in his heart. A single soul crystal had created a terrifying opponent for him, but he didn't feel any regret at all.
He was very happy to see his friends around him become powerful. In the pursuit of the peak of martial arts, it was too lonely to travel alone.
"You guys don't have to worry, your strengths aren't bad either. I don't dare say whether you can enter Five Great Divine Colleges or not, but passing the Imperial City Selection is a very simple matter. Because, in terms of Great Yan Empire, your strengths are also the best." Huo Ling'er said.
After she finished speaking, Huo Ling'er said thoughtfully: "Especially Lau Yu, I feel that your strength is not simple. Moreover, you have not fully developed your potential, otherwise, I am afraid that in the Martial Emperor, no one, no matter if it is the young generation or the older generation, would be your match."
Lau Yu was surprised, but he could also feel that there was a power nurturing inside his body. According to Yu Sunyu, it should be the power of his bloodline.
It was just that this energy was still being nurtured and was constantly absorbing the Vital Spirit's power from his body. The reason why he had spent spirit stones so quickly in this period of time and also absorbed another piece of Heaven Devouring Beast fragment to cultivate slower was due to this factor.
Duan Fei and Yu Sunyu looked at Lau Yu. Ever since they knew that Lau Yu was a disciple of the Martial Saint, they had felt that Lau Yu was not simple. Otherwise, how could Lau Yu enter the eyes of a Martial Saint?
Seeing how everyone was looking at him, Lau Yu said with a wry smile: "Don't think that you're all amazing just because you have the Martial Saint as your master. Maybe, I won't be able to choose anyone to become a student of Five Great Divine Colleges."
"How is this possible?" The few of them did not believe it.
Lau Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "Participating in the Five Great Divine Colleges Assessment not only because of the strength of the Martial Saint, but also because of the many families and sacred grounds that were born in Martial Saint. In this kind of situation, do you all think that your chances are high?"
Everyone fell silent. It was true that their hopes were slim. Even Huo Ling'er remained silent. If that was the case, her chances of success were only around sixty to seventy percent.
If they wanted to become disciples of Five Great Divine Colleges, perhaps the other path was the best choice.
That was, after becoming an outer court disciple of the Five Great Divine Colleges, one's cultivation would increase. When one became a Martial Emperor, they would naturally become an inner court disciple of the Five Great Divine Colleges.
After that, if his cultivation had risen to Martial Sovereign, he would naturally become a direct disciple of Five Great Divine Colleges.
However, like this, the treatment was completely different. Not only did he not receive any rewards, he even had to unconditionally serve the Five Great Divine Colleges, just like a servant.
If one wanted to enjoy any of the resources treatment from Five Great Divine Colleges, they would have to make a corresponding contribution.
In this way, the training would be delayed too much. Endless missions were indeed a form of training, but too many missions meant that the training would be delayed as well.
