C2 Arena

The next morning, Xiao Yitian woke up from his dream. He washed his face and dressed his wounds before heading to the inn to eat some breakfast. Afterwards, he rushed to the arena to register.

At the center of the island, in front of the competition arena's entrance, a long line of people was lined up. Xiao Yitian helplessly looked at the row of people lining up their cards. He originally thought that he had arrived early enough and didn't expect there to be so many people. However, this clearly showed how tempting it was to go to the mainland, and Xiao Yitian was even more determined to win.

When it was almost noon, it was Xiao Yitian's turn. He couldn't help but wipe his sweat as he thought to himself: If I knew this would take so long, I would have thought of a way to cut the queue.

"Name? Also, tell me your current profession and strength. " When the person in charge of registration saw Xiao Yitian's slightly embarrassed appearance, he frowned and asked.

"Xiao Yitian, a Mage. His strength is equivalent to that of a Primary Mage." Xiao Yitian thought for a moment before speaking. His strength was at the peak of Primary Mage, just a little bit away from breaking through to Intermediate Mage. Moreover, he was a Martial Disciple, and a Martial Cultivator that was about to break through to the Body Tempering realm. However, from the looks of it, he had just arrived at this place and was unfamiliar with the place. It was better to hide his strength, and in this world where the strong ruled, it was better to be careful. Now that he was only reporting it to a Primary Mage, if he really couldn't pass, it wouldn't be too late to reveal his hidden strength.

"Beginner level magus?" The person in charge of registration was moved. He put on a gentle smile and said: "Yes, give me your left hand."

Xiao Yitian glanced at the person in charge of registration with a puzzled expression.

"There is a age requirement for this selection. Only those under the age of twenty with talent for cultivation are qualified to register. So, in order to prevent some people from making trouble over the issue of age, there will be a bone feeling test to test one's age." The person in charge saw the doubt in Xiao Yitian's heart and explained with a smile.

"Then why aren't those people in front of me touching their bones?" Xiao Yitian was even more puzzled.

"Oh, those people." The person in charge's eyes flashed with disdain. He continued, "Those people only have a little cultivation talent. They're just too weak. They're destined to not pass the selection, so there's no need to waste time on them."

"But you are different. Without anyone to teach you, you were actually able to reach the level of a Primary Mage. It can be seen that your talent is quite good. However, rules are rules. You might be able to pass the exam, so I cannot pretend to know about your age. "

"If you're older than twenty, you still can't sign up."

Xiao Yitian was suddenly enlightened. Those people from before were destined to fail the selection, so it didn't matter if they were old or not. However, he was different. He was a primary mage and could pass the test.

Xiao Yi Tian stretched out his left hand with a bitter smile and said in a depressed manner, "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

The manager pinched the bone in Xiao Yitian's left hand and muttered to himself for a moment, "Nineteen years and one month. The requirement is met."

Xiao Yi Tian withdrew his left hand and felt a chill in his heart. Originally, he had his doubts towards the accuracy of this bone feeling age measurement, but now that the results were out, those doubts immediately disappeared. This manager was absolutely right. A month's money had just passed his nineteenth birthday. However, since then, the disaster of his life had occurred …

"Alright, you can go in now." The supervisor said to Xiao Yitian with a smile. They still had quite a bit of respect for those who might be able to pass the exam. Who knew, these people might even be future powerhouses.

Xiao Yitian nodded to the person in charge and walked into the arena with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

The entire arena was circular in design, and with a radius of three hundred meters, it could accommodate over a thousand people. After Xiao Yitian entered, he found a nearby seat and sat down. He closed his eyes and rested, quietly waiting for the test to begin.

"It's been a few years since our tribe has seen anyone capable of heading to the mainland. In my opinion, this year is going to be dangerous too."

"Not necessarily. This year is different from previous years. This year, I heard that Miss Zi Yan, the daughter of the leader of our Seafolk Tribe, will also attend, along with Elder Gu's grandson, Gu Changqing. "

"Is that so? Miss Zi Yan is the number one genius of our Sealer Tribe. She should be a Primary Mage by now. She would definitely get a spot in the competition. As for that Gu Changqing, hmph, isn't he the same level of talent as us? "

"Yeah, but who asked him to be the grandson of Elder Gu. A large portion of the resources that Elder Gu brought from the mainland have been used by him. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take for him to break through to become a Primary Mage!" This kind of person relied on his family background to be better, but he was actually just a piece of trash. You think you can woo Miss Zi Yan, the number one beauty of the Sealer Tribe? "

"Lower your voice. If Gu Changqing were to hear it, you would feel better." And I heard that this year, Elder Gu will be the one leading the selection. "

...

Xiao Yi Tian couldn't help but laugh as he heard the surrounding people's discussion. He thought to himself, "It seems like no matter where I go, I won't be lacking a second generation like Gu Changqing." However, Xiao Yi Tian was quite interested in this Elder Gu and Lady Zi Yan, who had returned from the mainland.

Didn't they say they won't come back? Why is this Elder Gu an exception? As for Miss Zi Yan, the legendary number one beauty of the seamen, even a man would want to meet her.

At this time, a black-clothed old man slowly walked to the center of the arena. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his hand that was holding onto his walking stick was as thin as an old tree branch. He was the person who had trained for the longest time in the entire tribe. In the eyes of the members of the tribe who had lived on the island for generations, those who had been to the continent must have seen a lot, so those who had chosen him as an elder must have a very high level of authority.

The black-clothed old man looked around and everyone felt their hearts tighten.

As expected, being able to become an elder was no joke. Xiao Yi Tian secretly praised in his heart.

The black-clothed elder slowly said, "The annual selection shall begin. Today, we are selecting mages. Those who aren't mages will leave now, and tomorrow, we will choose martial artists."

Many people left in succession, leaving only about a hundred people behind. Xiao Yitian was in the middle of it.

The black-clothed old man glanced at the people in front of him and continued, "My surname is Gu, you can call me Elder Gu. Come to think of it, this year, there are three Mages. Miss Zi Yan took one, my grandson Gu Changqing took one, and they are all elementary Mages. I don't think there is anyone who can do it, right? "

Someone wanted to question him, but when they saw Elder Gu's eagle-like eyes, they swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

Looking at the silent crowd, Elder Gu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "There's still one more spot, which means that more than a hundred of you need to earn this spot. Alright, now I will talk about the rules. The selection is divided into two parts, the first part is to test your magic cultivation and talent, the second part is to fight in actual combat! "

"Now, the first part, gather all the magic in your body into your palms and form a sphere with your hands."

Xiao Yitian raised both of his hands and intersected his fingers. He then began to condense his magic power. Gradually, his palms began to emit light. There was a glowing ball in the center of his palm. Xiao Yi knew that this was the most direct test method for mages. By condensing the magic power in one's hand, it would gradually form a magic ball. The brighter the magic ball shone, the stronger the magic power would be. Usually, only an official Mage would condense a sphere. For example, Xiao Yitian, who was a primary Mage, the light emitted by his palm only meant that he had some kind of magic within his body.

Elder Gu glanced at the crowd expressionlessly. When he saw that Xiao Yi Tian had stopped for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be a Primary Mage among them. Elder Gu looked at the magic sphere in Xiao Yi Tian's hand. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something inconceivable. His expression changed again and again before returning to a calm state. He said to Xiao Yi Tian, "Mm, not bad. Very good."

After saying that, he shifted his gaze.

Ignoring the envious gazes, Xiao Yitian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He kept recalling the look that Elder Gu had just given him. It seemed that those eyes were looking at him like he was some kind of delicious prey? Eh, delicious? This Elder Gu couldn't have a Long Yang mania, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Yitian felt goosebumps all over his body. No matter what, Xiao Yitian had been careful. After the selection, he would carefully inquire about this Elder Gu. That look in his eyes made him feel extremely insecure.

After scanning for a week, Elder Gu pointed to more than twenty people, including Xiao Yi Tian. He said, "You have passed. The rest have been eliminated."

The remaining people were unwilling and angry, but they did not dare to flare up. They were afraid of being treated as a model, but they were eliminated, so they could only leave in disappointment.

After these people had left, Elder Gu faced these twenty people and continued, "You guys have some talent, at least passed the first round, but the second round of actual combat will not be so simple. You guys have a Primary Mage among you, do you think you guys can be a match for this Primary Mage?"

With a 'shua' sound, everyone's gazes shifted to Xiao Yitian. Xiao Yitian could not help but curse the Gu Clan Elder for being evil. Wasn't this just pulling his hatred? Now he was on the opposite side of everyone else.

Elder Gu chuckled, "Don't think that you have no hope of getting a placing. As long as you can defeat him, you don't have to fight with other people. I will directly give the last spot to him."

Xiao Yitian couldn't help but shiver when he saw the eyes of more than twenty hungry wolves around him.

An hour later, Xiao Yitian walked out of the arena, pretending to be exhausted.

Damn it, this old bastard wants me to fight more than twenty people. These people are really something. Isn't it just a single slot? They even use their teeth in everything they do. Xiao Yitian rubbed the bite marks on his butt as he thought about this. However, at the best of times, he was able to get the entry.
