Chapter 10: A Brutal Selection
"It seems she is the envoy of the Huangfu Sacred Sect. Hehe, this girl is truly stunning." Tan Yun couldn't help but take another look at the girl in the red dress. In his memory, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
As the crowd fell silent in admiration, the spirit crane had already carried the girl in the red dress, hovering above the Creation Platform.
"Silence!" With a sharp shout from Wang Tianyou on the Creation Platform, everyone immediately closed their mouths, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard in the stillness.
Wang Tianyou faced the girl in the red dress and respectfully clasped his fists, "I am Wang Tianyou, the City Lord of Falling Star City, and I welcome the envoy on behalf of the citizens."
The girl in the red dress lightly parted her crimson lips, and a heavenly sound echoed in the air, "City Lord Wang need not be overly courteous."
Saying this, the spirit crane landed on the Creation Platform, and the girl in the red dress floated down like a gentle breeze to her seat.
She looked down at the citizens below the Creation Platform and spoke coldly, "I am Mu Mengyi, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, responsible for the selection of disciples in Falling Star City. The time has come; children from participating families, please step onto the Creation Platform."
"Understood!" Tan Yun and the other 868 spiritθ realm practitioners leapt onto the Creation Platform like swallows, quickly forming a line.
Mu Mengyi scanned the crowd and said indifferently, "The selection rules are simple; there will be only one round, which will be a comprehensive assessment of will, belief, and strength."
"Whoever can withstand the pressure for one hour will become a disciple of my Huangfu Sacred Sect."
Upon hearing this, the 868 disciples replied in unison, "We understand!"
"Mm." Mu Mengyi nodded slightly, then looked up at the sky, her clear voice resonating in everyone's ears, "Cultivators draw the essence of heaven and earth into their beings, defying fate, seeking to become immortal alongside the sun and moon, coexisting with heaven and earth."
"But I warn you all, my Huangfu Sacred Sect has seen countless deaths and injuries during each selection. If any of you harbor fear and lack conviction in your path of cultivation, you may withdraw now."
"Otherwise, once the assessment begins, it may be too late to regret."
The crowd looked at Mu Mengyi with admiration, shouting in unison, "We participate, esteemed envoy!"
Mu Mengyi's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of approval, and then, with her delicate fingers, she took down the Spirit Beast Bag from her waist. She murmured softly, sweeping her right arm, causing the Spirit Beast Bag to soar into the sky and hover above.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar of a tiger erupted from the Spirit Beast Bag, followed by a flash of purple light shooting out, transforming into a towering beast that appeared on the Creation Platform.
This was a spirit beast resembling a tiger, its fluffy purple fur resembling burning flames, with powerful limbs that seemed to contain unparalleled strength. Its two massive tails, one white and one red, swayed back and forth, creating ripples in the air as if they could tear apart the void at any moment.
Its enormous pupils looked down at the 868 disciples on the platform, resembling the gaze of death, sending chills down their spines.
"How terrifying!"
"This is too frightening; what kind of beast is this..."
The hundreds of thousands of spectators below gasped, even City Lord Wang Tianyou on the platform, did not recognize this beast!
"Roar!"
"Boom!"
As the giant beast raised its front paw and stomped down, the Creation Platform trembled violently, causing most of the 868 disciples to lose their balance, their eyes filled with fear.
Tan Yun looked up at the giant beast, his pupils contracting slightly as he felt a weight in his heart, "This is a second-tier growth stage ice flame spiritual tiger; its intelligence is already awakened, and its strength rivals that of a fifth-level fetal soul realm practitioner!"
