Divine God Against The Heavens

"He suddenly started to cultivate much faster than any other when he turned fourteen. Now after a year has passed and he is fifteen, at this age he has the cultivation of the Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. Even Xu Qing, who is already seventeen years old, only has the cultivation at the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm."

"Yes, we have to accept this fact that Lin Hao is truly a peerless genius. Despite being from an ordinary family, what he achieved at such a young age is already beyond our imagination. Even his majesty, the emperor himself said that in the future, Lin Hao can surely become or even surpass the rank of Martial Emperor."

"Really, Is that true? Surpass the rank of Martial Emperor? Is there really an expert in this world who is more powerful than a Martial Emperor?"

"What do you know, even though in our Azure Dragon Country, there is not a single expert surpassing Martial Emperor Realm but there really is many experts possessing the strength beyond Martial Emperor, outside from our country."

"Ohh!, I didn't know that. Well, back to the topic, is this Lin Hao also participating in this competition?"

"Yes, I heard he is already here to participate and yesterday, he registered for the competition. And I guaranty that he definitely will be victorious, achieving the first position in the competition."

"Oh! I'll be definitely there to watch the competition."

​ "Me too."

.....

"Lin Hao? Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm? Looks like this competition is going to be intense. It is not as easy as I thought it would be. I need to prepare myself more for this competition. There is still a week left. I don't have any good martial arts skill. Firstly I need to find any martial arts skill to cultivate so that it can help me in this competition."

When Ye Xiao heard the conversation between peoples present there, he became alert. When he first heard about the competition he thought that it would be easy for him to achieve top ten with his current strength. But now after hearing about That guy named Lin Hao and Xu Qing, he came to understand how naive he and his way of thinking was before.

Since there is Lin Hao and Xu Qing, there surely will be many other experts like them. Achieving top ten was not as easy as it sounds. He needed to still increase his strength before the competition as much as possible.

Recently, his cultivation increased at a rapid speed so he needed to consolidate his foundation. Foundation is the essence of one's strength and guarantee of what type of strength can be achieved by one in the future. If the foundation of a person is not strong, he will not be able to achieve much in his entire life, but if one's foundation is strong, one can make weak look up to them in a worship manner.

For cultivation, foundation is everything.

Since he needed to consolidate his foundation, he thought of practicing a martial skill to increase his strength so that it can help him in the competition.

After eating his fill, Ye Xiao walked out of the inn and went to the place where registration for the competition was going on.

Walking past many small and big shops, Ye Xiao arrived at a big field. It was extremely lively here. The majority of the crowd were about 15 to 17 years old, brimming with vigorous energy that permeated the atmosphere.

"It is so lively here. Looks like so many peoples came here for the registration. I never thought there would be so many people participating in the competition and these many peoples are only the fraction of it. There is still three more days before the registration will come to end. And after two days of registration, the competition will officially start." Ye Xiao was in dazed seeing these many peoples here for registration.

He knew that the competition is going to be very intense but now he ones again broaden his horizon, coming to know that it will be more difficult to obtain a place in top ten than he thought it would be.

He discovered that in this spacious area, the peoples were gathering into five rows as they queued to register. There were plenty of individuals with nervous expression on their faces. There were also some who left with a disappointed expression, evidently failed to meet the requirement to register themselves for this competition.

He proceeded forward and queued up in a line which had the lesser number of people lining up compared to the other four.

As the competition is organised by the five great sects and the imperial family, there were countless people who would wanted to try to participate in it. Not only there were many young ones, there were even many middle aged men and women, trying their luck.

For this competition, talent was also one of the criteria. As long as you are talented enough and has a sufficient cultivation, matching their age, you can register.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally his turn to register for the competition.

He walked and stopped in front of a man who was responsible for registration. It was a middle aged man who wore a simple white robe and had a big beard hanging under his chin. He was sitting on a chair and in front of him was a table which was filled with many papers and other stuff.

"Your name?" That middle aged man looked at him and asked emotionlessly.

"Ye Xiao." said Ye Xiao

"Age?"

"15, one month from now, I'll turn sixteen."

"Your cultivation?"

"Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm"

"Ok, hold this stone in your hand and inject in it your spirit energy." The middle aged man raised head, looked at him and then pointed his hand toward a stone which was in a corner of the table and said.
