Xuanji Shanhai's words surprised the more than 400 people present.
The strange beasts with the strength of the ninth level of the True Spirit are actually divided into three different levels: lower, middle, and upper. Among them, the strange beasts of the upper ninth level are so powerful that they can compete with the strong men who have just stepped into the secret realm of heaven and man!
In this way, challenging the ninth-level beast should be the choice of most people.
"I choose to challenge the ninth-level beast."
Sure enough, the young man in cloth shirt from Shuilan Country quickly finished his thoughts and said to Xuanji Shanhai.
"good."
Xuanji Shanhai nodded calmly, and nothing could be seen from his appearance: "You can enter the manor. As for the others, you can only watch from afar and are not allowed to step into the manor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanji Shanhai raised his hand and took the initiative to lead the young man in the gray cloth shirt towards the manor.
The young man in the gray cloth shirt was obviously a little nervous. After all, he had never heard of or seen such strange beasts from another dimension, and no one knew what kind of existence they were.
Moreover, the beast he chose to challenge was a middle ninth level monster!
There is definitely a reason why strange beasts are divided into three levels: lower, middle, and upper. There must be huge differences between each level.
The strange beasts of the upper ninth level can fight against the strong ones in the Heavenly Realm. Although they may not be able to defeat them, it is enough to prove their ferocious strength.
So, what about the strange beasts at the middle ninth level
The young man in the gray cloth shirt knew that he was facing a huge challenge!
Under the gaze of more than four hundred people, Xuanji Shanhai and the young man in gray cloth shirt stepped into the manor. Soon, white mist surrounded their feet, and the figures of both men became unreal.
Soon, about a hundred feet into the manor, the two stopped.
Xuanji Shanhai just waved his hand, and two people who seemed to be the managers of the manor where the Eighty-Eight Star Animal Garden was located appeared in front of everyone, dragging a large crystal animal cage.
"This is a strange beast from another dimension!"
When the four hundred or so people saw it, they were all shocked, even Ji Tianqi, Shi Junzi, Bai Shenying and other powerful people in the secret realm of heaven and man were no exception.
Including Long Yu, everyone opened their eyes wide. They did not expect that the strange beast from the alien space would be like this.
I saw several things that looked like dry gray branches twisted together in the crystal animal cage. They had no head, no tail, no mouth or nose, and no eyes!
It's just a few dry branches piled together, giving people an extremely weird feeling.
Recalling what Xuanji Shanhai said at the beginning, that the strange beasts in the different space have completely different structural structures from the creatures in Tianyu Continent and even in the Shenwu World, everyone finally understood what he meant.
As if sensing something, the strange beast formed by those dry branches suddenly twisted its body, stretched out countless branches, and crawled out directly from the open crystal beast cage.
The battle began almost immediately.
The young man in the gray cloth shirt from Shuilan Country was also surprised when he first saw such a monster, but he quickly calmed down, with an extremely solemn look in his eyes.
He was very close and could clearly feel that the power of the branch-like beast was definitely not weaker than his, and was even a bit stronger!
Waves of powerful force suddenly erupted in the field.
Outside the top scholar, more than 400 people were observing the situation inside, and their hearts sank.
The fighting style of the dead branch-like beast was unexpectedly different from anything they had seen before. Thousands of dead branches were constantly dancing, acting as both hands and feet, and were extremely flexible.
No matter how powerful the attack of the young man from Shuilan Country was, it was completely absorbed by these dead branches and he was unable to destroy even a single branch.
However, the attack of this dead branch-like beast was extremely tricky and brutal.
From beginning to end, the strange beast only launched two attacks, but these two attacks seized the flaws of the young man from Shuilan Country and hit his vital points directly, piercing his lower abdomen and chest respectively!
The entire battle was almost one-sided.
The strength of the dead branch-like monster of the ninth level was so terrifying that most of the more than 400 people outside were afraid of it.
"you lose."
Xuanji Shanhai raised his hand and a powerful force subdued the dead branch-like beast and threw it back into the crystal beast cage.
To Xuanji Shanhai of the Secret Realm of Heaven and Man, the dead branch-like beast that had not yet achieved the unity of heaven and man was completely vulnerable, and he subdued it with a wave of his hand.
But to the young man of Shuilan Country, this strange beast that looked like a dead branch was like his nightmare.
If you cannot defeat the monster, you will not get any points.
The young man from Shuilan Country gritted his teeth, dragged his injured body and left the manor. Soon, the alchemist from Tianyu Holy Academy delivered a special elixir.
Being injured by the dead branch-like beast, it seems that ordinary elixirs are unable to cure it, and the only option is to use healing elixirs made from the body parts of the beast.
"Long Yu, what level of beast are you going to challenge?"
Yan Huanmo looked at the strange beast that looked like a dead branch, and her face turned pale. Of course, she could see that the strength of the middle-level strange beast was much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists of the same level.
"I don't know, let's watch a few more games."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
He had never come into contact with strange beasts from another dimension, so it would do him no good to rush into the battle now.
In the first stage of comprehending the divine text, Long Yu failed to get a score. Now in this second stage, he must surpass others and get the highest score!
After all, the Tianyu Holy Selection is an important stop on the path of martial arts. Since Long Yu has participated in it, he must of course try his best to do his best.
In this case, he would have to observe them several times to see whether those strange beasts all looked the same or were divided into many different types. If he observed more, he would be able to understand them better.
"Brother Long, I finally found a chance to talk to you, haha!"
Suddenly a laugh came from the side, causing Long Yu to shift his gaze over, and saw that it was the handsome young man Tian Yutian, and with Tian Yutian was his brother Lu Xiu.
"Brother Tian, you guys finally got the quota. I saw you guys just now, but I didn't say hello."
Long Yu smiled.
Tian Yutian's strength is definitely one of the best among the powerful warriors at the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm. If Tian Yutian cannot get a place to participate in the Heavenly Mandate Holy Selection, it would be too disappointing.
The Beihai Kingdom has a total of thirty-two quotas to participate in the Divine Mandate Selection, twenty-four of which have been occupied by various sects, such as the Wanjian Sect.
Tian Yutian and Lu Xiu will definitely fight for the remaining eight public spots.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay."
Tian Yutian waved his hand, and then his face became a little solemn: "I wonder if Brother Long has any opinions on this strange beast in another dimension?"
"It's hard to tell for now, but there's no need to rush in. We can just wait and see."
Long Yu said.
“That’s what I think.”
Tian Yutian and Lu Xiu both agreed with this.
Not only them, but almost everyone among the more than 400 people present thought so. Originally, some people volunteered to win the favor of the seniors from the North Court of Tianyu, but after seeing the fate of the young man from Shuilan Country, no one was willing to be the first to stand out.
Originally, they thought that the strange beasts from another dimension were the ones that were being ravaged by them.
But I didn't expect that his strength would be so terrifying!
Xuanji Shanhai came out of the manor and asked with a smile: "Who will be the second one? I said before that the scoring of this part is not absolute, but it will be divided by me and the four seniors from other holy academies!"
What this means is that there is no hard and fast rule about how many points you can get for defeating the monster you choose, but rather it depends on your performance and the points will be awarded by judges.
There are five judges in total. In addition to Xuanji Shanhai himself, there are four others, namely the supervisors from the South Court, East Court, West Court and Central Holy Court of Tianyu.
"Now I declare that the young man from Shuilan Country just received a score of one point."
Xuanji Shanhai averaged the scores and made the announcement.
It even received a score of one!
"In fact, this person's performance was nothing special, but because he was the first to appear, his courage was commendable. Therefore, we all decided to reward him with this point as an encouragement."
Xuanji Shanhai said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining four hundred people became excited.
However, before they could make up their minds, Xuanji Shanhai continued, "All of us martial artists are in a hurry, so let's not waste time. Since you don't take the initiative to step forward, then let's go one by one according to the martial arts realm, from low to high. Long Yu, who has just entered the eighth level of the True Spirit, you come up."
After saying this, the more than 400 people immediately began to gloat over the misfortune!
It turned out that he had clicked on Long Yu!
This made many people believe that Long Yu really did not seem to have received any preferential treatment. He was actually called out to be a guinea pig. This was simply a great relief!
Part of the martial artists in particular, who had always disliked Long Yu, were even more gloating at this moment.
"Let him be so arrogant, now let's see what level of beast you can challenge. Don't let yourself be gnawed to the bone, haha!"
The little prince Mondokai of the ancient Meng Kingdom laughed the happiest.
Now that he said this, Xuanji Tianchen did not deduct points. After all, freedom of speech is the norm now, and Long Yu was not in the process of breaking through, so there was no need to disturb his cultivation.
"Heh, this boy has harmed more than ten people in our Longdu Country, and all of them have been deducted a point. Now he is being pulled out to lead the charge. It's really retribution, and it comes pretty quickly."
"We have to take a closer look. This alien beast from another dimension is not simple. Long Yu is the second one to appear. After learning from the lesson he had with that person, he will definitely not dare to challenge a mid-level alien beast."
"Well, we have already seen the strength of the middle-level beasts. Now let's take a look at the strength of the lower-level beasts. They are also quite good."
The people from Longdu Country were whispering to each other, treating Long Yu as a guinea pig to be experimented on.
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and thought: "Xuan Ji Shan Hai, this is forcing me to make a choice... In this case, I, Long Yu, can't let you down!"
