Chapter 1050: Creating A Transcendent Force
This was a bit of a surprise to Luo Tian.
During these three days, the two of them had been in closed-door cultivation, preparing for the Misty Cloud Academy disciple selection competition with all their might. This was considered the most important selection in their lives for them, so they had to deal with it with all their might.
“Heh heh…” Bai Xiong chuckled.
“During our three-day seclusion, father got us some demonic beast inner cores. Otherwise, our cultivation wouldn’t have advanced this quickly. This is all for the selection competition. I heard that just in our Towering Cloud City, there will be more than thirty elite of the elites participating, and the talent potential of the weakest person is at the medium talent level. The thirty plus people from our southwestern territory aren’t that strong among the thousands of disciples that will be participating. So, I have no idea if any of us can advance in the competition.”
Bai Lingling glanced at Luo Tian and said, “We aren’t like someone who has some perverted transformation skill, high grade abilities, or divine artifacts. Big brother, don’t talk to him anymore, and let’s hurry to sign up!”
Bai Lingling’s tone clearly showed her jealousy.
Luo Tian’s cultivation was lower than hers, but his strength was many times greater than hers.
Bai Xiong then advised, “Master, let’s go and sign up now. The earlier it is, the more advantageous it will be for our ranking. Those who sign up and report in early will have a great advantage.”Luo Tian asked in confusion, “There’s an advantage to signing up early? It can’t be that those who sign up early will fight those who sign up late, right? Eliminate those that have no confidence?”
Bai Xiong replied in surprise, “Master, how did you know? Those are exactly the competition rules, except they are only used in the second stage. In the first stage, those that sign up late will enter a brutal environment while those who sign up early can get to choose their trial’s environment.”
“But the rules may change every year, and the rules are different for each major city. Anyway, it is all up to the Misty Cloud Academy branch’s decision. We can only listen to them and do as we’re told. If you don’t obey them, they will just not let you participate!”
“When we get to the registration office later, we have to be more polite. My father has already prepared fifty thousand xuan coins for us.” Bai Xiong patted the bulging money pouch on his waist, which was going to be used to bribe the examiner.
This was a very normal method.
These 50,000 xuan coins were considered to be on the little side. Some families prepared 100,000 xuan coins as tribute, just in exchange for a good ranking number. This number could be one of the key factors determining a disciple’s results. This showed how important the ranking of someone signing up early versus someone signing up late!
Luo Tian nodded without saying anything.
Bai Lingling suddenly asked, “You asked for two spots from the Bai family, but each person can only participate once. Could it be that you have a clone or something?”
Luo Tian glared at her, “What kind of tone of voice is that? Why are you speaking to your husband like that? Do you want me to spank your butt until it blooms flowers? Do you think I won’t dare to do it because we’re on the main street? Did you forget what you promised me?”
“First, call me good big brother!”
Bai Lingling rolled her eyes at him and didn’t bother asking further.
Even though she wanted to know what Luo Tian was using that extra spot for, she couldn’t make herself call someone a good big brother out in public.
In a dozen or so minutes, the three of them arrived at the Towering Cloud City branch of the Misty Cloud Academy.
Before they had even arrived, they could hear the sound of discussions in the distance.
A majority of them were talking about the selection competition.
The gates were still closed, but the line was already quite long.
In addition to the disciples of the five great families, there were also disciples of some small sects. Their quotas were very small, but this was an opportunity for them to jump through the dragon gate. As long as their disciple becomes a student of the Misty Cloud Academy, they will rise to prominence in an instant and become a pivotal family in the Towering Cloud City.
“There’s so many people!”
“There are more onlookers than those participating.”
Bai Xiong sighed before saying, “Master, I will queue up first.”
He then ran off after saying that.
Bai Lingling looked at the group of people and said, “The strength of the disciples this year seems to be higher than last year’s. It looks like this year will be more difficult.”
The majority of the martial artists in the group were basically all in the Condensation Element realm or above.
Only a small minority were still in the Four Elements realm.
And there were a few martial artists whose cultivation had already reached the peak of the Condensation Element realm. This wasn’t the case in the previous years.
Luo Tian looked around like he was looking for something.
Bai Lingling asked, “Are you looking for someone?”
Luo Tian nodded, “Yeah.”
Bai Lingling asked again, “You’re really looking for someone? You didn’t sell the fourth Bai family quota, did you? You miser, you must have sold it! A quota can be sold for hundreds of thousands of xuan coins. You are too much of a money grub!”
Luo Tian blatantly looked at Bai Lingling from head to toe before saying, “If I’m not a money grub, how am I supposed to afford to feed a noble young lady like you? There’s also my ten wives thrown into the mix. In order to feed you all, I have to work hard by throwing my life on the line!”
“You…”
“Who are you calling your wife?!” Bai Lingling said angrily while her cheeks turned red.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “Of course, I’m talking about you. Your father has already betrothed you to me. Do you dare to run away from our marriage? Let me tell you upfront: I have a bad temper. If you dare to run away from our marriage, your butt will definitely bloom flowers.”
Bai Lingling became angrier and glared at Luo Tian, “Like hell, I would marry you.”
After saying that, she strode away to queue in line. She started scolding internally, “There’s no way I’m going to marry a smelly scoundrel like you! No way am I marrying a money grub like you! There’s no way! Absolutely no way!”
While saying this, a part of her wanted to immediately marry Luo Tian so that she would get the 10th position instead.
Luo Tian kept looking around before saying to himself, “How come he isn’t here yet? Could it be that the letter didn’t reach him?”
He had given the fourth spot to Lin Dong.
As long as Lin Dong was nurtured by the Misty Cloud Academy, his cultivation would definitely skyrocket even faster.
This was one of his strongest little brothers!
He will definitely become an existence at the peak of the martial dao.
Upon thinking of Lin Dong, Luo Tian’s heart started beating in excitement. “If I can really gather a legion of protagonists as my little brothers, then I would be able to sweep through all four directions. If I meet God, I will kill God. If I meet a goddess, I will directly snatch said goddess! Hahaha…”
Shortly after, a familiar figure finally appeared.
When that figure saw Luo Tian, he immediately ran over with a smile and greeted, “Boss!”
“Sigh~!”
“Let me hear you call me that again.” Luo Tian felt very content to be able to make Lin Dong call him the boss. He should be the first person ever to accomplish that, right? This feeling was simply too awesome! Hahaha… Wu Dong Qian Kun was one of his favorite novels, after all.
Lin Dong immediately greeted again, “Boss!”
Luo Tian patted Lin Dong’s shoulder and said, “Do you want to participate in the selection competition?”
The strongest little brother naturally had to be nurtured with the strongest resources!
Luo Tian began planning to create an army of the strongest little brothers. He wanted to establish his own power in the Ancient World. A force that surpassed that of the king level, a transcendent force!
