Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

LIN DIYU AND the other two were overwrought by the crowd's fighting intent. Triggered, they also released their auras but were restrained by Yang Lujia to avoid standing out. Although there were several geniuses among the crowd below the arena, he couldn't be certain about his disciples, especially the other two who looked like kids.

Who would have thought that at such a young age, the two had already reached the God King Realm? If those old folks were to know about their age, they would vomit blood in shame and helplessness. After all, they had gone through several hardships and trials, but it felt like their efforts and time taken to reach this height were brushed off by these brats' talents.'

'It really is true when people say comparing oneself to another can only mean disaster.'

Not for Yang Lujia, however, because he, the same as before, never made himself an object to be compared to another. He was a different person. Comparing could only arouse those negative thoughts he had with him all this time that were suppressed.

Yang Lujia stared at the people from the bleachers. They were cheering for the participants who they gave their support to. Someone even shamelessly threw away her panties at one of the participants who looked like her boyfriend. This scene was extremely odd and random for Yang Lujia. If this woman had done this on Earth, she would have been cursed by people who remained conservative. Besides, it was really inappropriate.

Another man from the crowd then screamed the name of his wife like a roaring beast. Although he was a mortal, his voice really resounded throughout the whole arena.

'Did he install an amplifier in his throat?'

However, that was only the subconscious of Yang Lujia. After all, with his cultivation level, even the slightest whistle of the wind could make his ears catch all the details of it. The wife of the man didn't even flinch as she only glanced in another direction. This made Yang Lujia think that the woman was just shy about seeing her husband shamelessly supporting her.

Diverse kinds of scenarios kept happening within the arena, and it left Yang Lujia, who only occasionally went out with his step-grandfather when necessary or forced by the latter, bewildered. Such things were absolutely not normal.

When the Wang Brothers finally appeared on top of the arena, stepping on the wind, like a leaf gently caressed by the air, the whole crowd's voices slowly diffused. Not long after their voices died down, Wang Lao waved his hand and let his younger brother sit on the platform first with the three other God Emperors of Guile Magus Academy.

It was such a memorable day to experience. Almost all the people could rarely see the faces of these unfathomable people who had guarded the city for decades. This was especially true for ordinary citizens.

"Everyone, I am glad that the Eastern Territory still has strong young warriors like you. Today's elimination round will be able to define your fate, whether or not you deserve to ascend to even higher heights," Wang Lao began. "And yet this was only the first step. The real battle starts in the Valley of Gods."

The young, talented cultivators below had eyes filled with fervor as they clenched their fists and/or gritted their teeth.

When Wang Lao saw their reaction, he was glad. Although knowing that the Eastern Territory had been treated as the weakest among the five territories, these young men and women were still going to fight for the chance to enter the Valley of Gods.

He continued, with his voice filled with splendor, "I am Wang Lao, the City Lord of the Guile City. Today, I welcome you all to the commencement of the elimination round for this year's upcoming Annual Death Ceremony!"

Wang Lao was still floating in the air. Later, he flew towards the platform before the arena, where his brother and the other three God Emperors of the city were seated. Nodding at Wang Zhu, he sat in his seat, which was the largest among the four.

As Wang Zhu spoke, Yang Lujia found his demeanor nostalgic. This man was really something, even when he spoke with him in the Intelligence Bureau.

After inviting the God Emperors of the Eastern Territory from the crowd to the platform, he stared in Yang Lujia's direction. 'Cao Nima was really joining? Didn't he know that old monsters like us aren't allowed to join the elimination round?'

"Let me remind all of you that everyone is eligible to enter the competition, but only those who are 50 years old and below. Otherwise, don't bother. Speaking of, let's get to the rules of the elimination round," Wang Zhu said, his voice stern. "As all of you have known, perhaps several but not all, the elimination round would still have two segments. The first segment is the Filter Segment. This is when we will find out the age of the participant, the participant's aptitude or talent, and their cultivation level. An array formation specialized in determining someone's age and talent was placed in the arena. When your name is called, please step forward and get yourself tested."

With that, he especially glanced at Cao Nima. Wang Lao did the same. However, both of them didn't notice any changes in this fellow's face. He was still indifferent.

Holding a piece of paper with names listed on it, Wang Zhu confirmed that Cao Nima was really participating in the elimination round. This made him feel appalled but thrilled. After all, if this Cao Nima was still 15 years old, as he claimed, he would easily dominate Da Sishen's geniuses and bring glory to the entire Eastern Territory.

Calming himself down, he announced, "Everyone must know that when the participant is tested, the array formation will shine, and above the arena, a light screen will appear, showing that specific participant's age, talent, and cultivation level. Now, the first person to be tested is Xiao Yue from Guile Magus Academy!"

Yang Lujia strayed his mind away from the platform. After hearing the prompt again from Fortuniel that he was invincible here in Da Sishen, he thought that he might not need to hide some of his cultivation anymore. However, he still needed to hide his disciples' identities, especially Feng Huang's and Long Guang's.

They were just too special. Once their enemy learned of a dragon known as Long Guang, they would undoubtedly pursue him to the ends of the Earth. On the other hand, Feng Huang would be mistaken for an Underworld Prison creature. According to Feng Huang, she was originally from Asura Prison, but her aura was the same as those creatures from the Underworld Prison. This was complicated because, in Da Sishen, Underworld Prison creatures were hated to the core.

Yang Lujia knew that once they started to fight in the arena, they would arouse the crowd's mouths and spread the news about the two's information. He didn't want them to be targeted by anyone, more so by that despicable race.

As a result, he told Long Guang and Feng Huang to temporarily hide for a while. However, the two complained about it, so he could only make something for the two to play.

He pulled out Long Guang's world. He placed the two inside and made an amusement park for the two little kids to enjoy. Finally, although they kept complaining, they were gradually loving the amusement park. Sure enough, even in this world, kids were still kids.

"Master, why did you hide my junior brother and junior brother? Aren't they going to participate in the competition?" Lin Diyu was confused. His head was filled with questions. He really couldn't understand his master. "Then, why…"

"Lin Diyu, come to think of it. If we expose both of their identities, do you think anyone can stand still? Although I am invincible in Da Sishen, I can't say for sure about accidents."

Lin Diyu's face turned serious. For once, he realized what his master had said. To him, his master just didn't want to expose his junior brother and junior sister's talent. Otherwise, they will be coveted by others, and some would even choose to devour them to increase their talents. Such talented kids could also cause jealousy or envy amongst several people.

Lin Diyu sighed and heavily nodded at his master. "I understand, master."

"Good!" Yang Lujia's face beamed. "You're getting smarter now!"
