Chapter 1008 - 101-102: Battle for the Quota (Double - s)

As for whether one can achieve the Divine King, that is uncertain.

This is already the case for ordinary cultivators.

When it comes to geniuses who can be listed as direct disciples, receiving cultivation by the Zhongshan Clan is tantamount to having the key to the Divine King.

In the future, there is a certain possibility that, with this key, one could open the door to the Divine King.

Such an opportunity.

Even in ten thousand years, it’s hard to come by.

Just to give it up.

Perhaps in the future, one won’t have the opportunity to become the Divine King.

Therefore, the anger in Zhongshan Rong’s heart can be imagined.

Except for him.

The other disciples looked puzzled, equally not understanding why the spot would fall to Shen Changqing.

Among the direct disciples.

Zhongshan Sheng’s face was stiff.

He never expected that Shen Changqing, who did not participate in the tournament at all, could actually get a spot.

After the astonishment.

There’s surging anger and jealousy.

But fearing the majesty of the Divine King, Zhongshan Sheng forcibly repressed the fury and jealousy.

Facing Zhongshan Rong’s questioning.

Zhongshan Dongxuan calmly said: "This is the decision of the Sect, Zhongshan Chou has excellent talent, having comprehended the Divine Lord Level innate divine ability, among the disciples of the Candle Sect, speaking of talent, no one can compare to him.

Therefore, him getting a spot poses no issue."

Divine Lord Level innate divine ability!

Zhongshan Rong’s expression changed repeatedly, but his heart was still unwilling.

"Talent is just talent, the Sect had said before, this tournament is primarily about strength, since I have already obtained a top ten ranking, it should definitely not be taken away."

He is already at the ninth layer of the Divine Realm.

One step further, and he can officially enter the tenth layer of the Divine Realm.

Once he reaches the tenth layer of the Divine Realm and consolidates for a while, reaching Divine Realm Perfection, he will be qualified to challenge the Divine King Realm.

No matter what.

This cannot be given up.

Zhongshan Dongxuan did not speak but turned his gaze in another direction.

In the crowd.

Shen Changqing felt a slight stir in his heart when he saw that gaze.

Then, he stepped out from among the direct disciples and looked at Zhongshan Rong on the stage.

"Since Honor Direct Disciple says strength is the focus, why don’t you and I have a duel, if you win, I will directly give up the spot, how about it?"

"Is that true?"

Zhongshan Rong squinted his eyes.

He could see that Shen Changqing was still only at the middle stage of the Divine Realm.

With such strength, although not exactly worlds apart, there was no compensating for the gap.

With his own strength at the ninth layer of the Divine Realm, if he duels someone at the middle stage of the Divine Realm, he might gain the reputation of bullying the weak.

However.

Zhongshan Rong didn’t care.

What’s bullying the weak.

The other didn’t follow the rules, seizing his spot first.

Besides, this spot determines whether he will have the opportunity to advance to the Divine King in the future, no matter what, he won’t let go.

Shen Changqing maintained a calm expression: "Naturally, I see that Honor Direct Disciple used up quite a bit in the previous battle, why don’t you first recover a bit, to avoid losing and not admitting it."

"Alright!"

Zhongshan Rong nodded, not angry, but looked towards Zhongshan Dongxuan.

"Sect Master, if I defeat him, will I get a spot?"

"The spot belongs to Zhongshan Chou, it doesn’t matter how he decides to handle it."

Zhongshan Dongxuan nodded.

In fact.

He was a bit surprised that Shen Changqing dared to directly challenge Zhongshan Rong.

In his view, Shen Changqing was likely to just clutch the spot and not let go.

After all, even with the Purifying Stone obtained, Shen Changqing was only at the fifth layer of the Divine Realm.

Compared to the ninth layer of the Divine Realm.

There was a four-layer difference.

A gap of four layers is not something that simple talent can bridge.

If Zhongshan Rong were an ordinary ninth layer of the Divine Realm, given his mastery of Divine Lord level innate divine abilities and his powerful foundation, there might be some hope of winning.

However.

Zhongshan Rong himself is a genius of the Candle Sect.

In terms of foundation, it’s not something ordinary Divine Realm cultivators can match.

Even if faced with an ordinary tenth layer of the Divine Realm, it’s not much lacking.

So.

In Zhongshan Dongxuan’s view, Shen Changqing’s odds of winning were not big.

To put it plainly.

Not only not big, but there’s no hope at all.

But——

The other party dared to make this offer, thinking he had some grasp, if he truly lost, then let it be.

Talents who comprehend the Divine Lord level innate divine ability are rare, but talent without brains ultimately won’t reach the end.

The growth of a strong individual depends not only on talent but also on intelligence.

Not understanding the time.

Not knowing when to advance or retreat.

Such talent is not worth cultivating.

On receiving the promise.

Zhongshan Rong nodded, looked back at Shen Changqing: "Alright, if you win, I will not fight for the spot any longer!"

With that said.

He directly took out a Divine Crystal from his storage ring to restore himself.

Although he’s at the ninth layer of the Divine Realm, even not at peak state, suppressing someone at the middle stage of the Divine Realm isn’t a problem, Zhongshan Rong still didn’t take it lightly.

To fight!

Means not holding back at all.

Although he doesn’t think Shen Changqing is his opponent.

But the fact that Shen dared to make such a claim means he must approach carefully.

Better safe than sorry.

Just afraid of the one in a million chance.

If really lost due to carelessness, the consequences are imaginable.

Outside the arena.

All disciples shifted their gazes from others to Zhongshan Rong and Shen Changqing.

Among them.

Shen Changqing drew the most attention.

"The innate divine ability of Divine Lord Level is indeed powerful, but Zhongshan Chou is too arrogant, with such a large difference in realms, it’s impossible to defeat Zhongshan Rong."

"That’s not necessarily true, last time in the battle with the White Jade Sect, it was heard that he killed a Divine Realm ninth layer expert."
