Chapter 500: Ancient Body Refinement - Preparation Before Departure
Looking at the eager Chen Hu, Chen Chu did not directly deny him but asked, "When does this competition start, and what are the rewards?"
Chen Hu chuckled, "It starts on October 15th, with a round every three months, divided into provincial, national, and global competitions."
"The provincial competition is further divided into more than a dozen city-level districts, where martial high school students in each city first register and select the top ten in their grades."
"During the provincial finals, there are no grade divisions; instead, they are categorized by the three cultivation levels of four heavens, five heavens, and six heavens to determine the top ten in each level."
"It is said that the rewards for only the top ten in the province are top-tier resources that can help break through realms, and the rewards for the national competition are even Divine-level resources."
"However, the national competition is more difficult; only cultivators above the five heavens can participate, and only the top twenty from the three great empires qualify for the global competition."
"The teacher said the rewards for the global competition are even more outrageous, with the top three gaining qualifications to become gods, awarded personally by the three great senators."
"In addition to the top three, there are also different rewards for the top ten and top fifty." By the end, Chen Hu's face was filled with excitement, while Chen Chu appeared contemplative.
The purpose of the federation holding the competition is not only to discover and focus on nurturing talented prodigies but also to counter the aggressive movements initiated by the infernal clan.
Thus, they are preparing to accelerate the cultivation of the new generation of bloodlines.
Furthermore, the competition process is relatively fair, allowing second and third-year cultivators to register while also categorizing them initially by realm.
This way, everyone gets a chance to shine.
The three-month cycle of the grand competition, along with each round's rewards, also offers opportunities for talents who start off slowly but who have accumulated strength over time to develop and erupt.
As for why there are no first-year participants, it's because they have only been in school for half a month.
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Chu smiled, "You’ve gathered all this information about the rounds and rewards; it seems Ah Hu, you really want to participate."
Chen Hu nodded excitedly, "I really do! The competition will be live-streamed from the beginning. As long as I can break into the global competition, I can gain both fame and fortune."
Although Chen Hu usually appears honest and stable, he is still only fifteen, full of youthful vigor and ambition.
However, he was quite rational, only mentioning breaking into the global competition, not claiming he would win.
Chen Chu pondered slightly before nodding in agreement, "Since you want to go, then go."
Chen Chu was not worried about Chen Hu's strength. Although he had just broken through to the three heavens, that was merely the surface.
As an innate awakened one, when Chen Hu enters the innate tyrant body state, he is comparable to the four heavens. Plus, with the explosive power from his giant transformation talent, he could definitely sweep through the five heavens without issue.
At this moment, Chen Hu's strength surpassed even Chen Chu's at that time due to his lower rank.
However, this is due to his current level; once he reaches the advanced levels of the seven heavens, his innate awakening ability will only allow him to be unrivaled at the same level, and with giant transformation, he would only manage to fight across one major realm.
Currently, in Eastern Summer's second year, apart from those who have already "graduated" like Chen Chu, the highest cultivation level is only mid to late stage of the five heavens, like Li Meng and others.
Previously, after receiving the resources given by Chen Chu, Li Meng and Bai Mu have all broken through to the five heavens and have now returned to the Southern Battlefield for arduous cultivation.
