The green dot represented Ling Chen himself.
The red dot, on the other hand, represented his opponents.
One hundred prisoners from the World Prison.
Ling Chen's position was at the center of the map.
And the one hundred opponents were scattered around him. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Ling Chen took a look and found the closest opponent was about ten miles away.
However, Ling Chen did not chase after him.
Instead, he settled down.
And began to cultivate right there.
Unlike Ling Chen, the other contestants immediately started chasing after the red dots as soon as they entered the Void Realm.
They did not want these individuals to gather together.
Otherwise, it would become a huge trouble!
Battle after battle unfolded in the Void Realm.
The prisoners from the World Prison were also smart.
They did not target the prodigies first, but gathered together to form a small group.
For them, the Qing Province Prodigy List was their only way out of the bitter sea of the World Prison.
They naturally did not dare to take risks.
They hoped to come together and then, with the strength of the crowd, defeat the prodigies.
Thus, the scene of prodigies hunting and prisoners fleeing was formed.
And Ling Chen hoped that these people would gather together, so he could capture them all in one net.
At the State Governor Mansion.
At this moment, the five Domain Lords of Qing Province, dozens of Commanders, the eight great families in Qing City, twelve influential clans, and the lords of various top forces, were all gathered here.
The Qing Province Prodigy List was the grandest event in Qing Province.
At this time, Mu Qing sat in the highest seat.
In front of him were dozens of huge screens.
They were showing the events happening in the Void Realm.
On these screens, the protagonists naturally were Mu Qing and other top prodigies!
At this moment, these people were hunting the prisoners of the World Prison!
"Truly worthy of being the number one prodigy in Qing Province! Look, Young Master has probably killed more than twenty people already, he might take the crown in the first round!"
"That's right! Young Master, who is so exceptionally brilliant! How could these mere World Prison prisoners be a match for Young Master?"
"Hmm, Young Master, not just the first round, I guess after three rounds, Young Master will still be number one!"
"Yes, in my opinion, the number one spot on the Prodigy List has probably already been reserved by Young Master!"
Many people flattered him.
The speakers were all significant figures from Qing Province.
There was Jiang Bufan, the Domain Lord of the Northern Territory.
There were the Masters from the Eight Great Families.
There was the Heavenly Capital Commander.
"Alright, let's not talk about the youngsters anymore. The performances of everyone else were also not bad!"
Hearing this, Mu Qing also revealed a satisfied smile on his face.
Mu Qing had poured immense resources into cultivating him.
Now, it was only natural to see such achievements.
Among these dozens of screens, every prodigy of nine-star Emperor Realm was included.
As for those of the eight-star Emperor Realm, they simply didn't qualify to catch their attention.
Liu Xiao was also there, currently sitting in a corner.
Sitting together with him were the Domain Lords of the Central Domain, Southern Domain, and Western Domain.
Although the four of them were Domain Lords and should have been of higher status than the Northern Territory Governor,
they had no opportunity to interject.
Their cultivation was too low.
Lord Governor of the State governed Qing Province with the principle of local people governing local matters.
That is, the East Domain Lord had to be chosen from the cultivators of the Eastern Domain.
Therefore, this method resulted in a huge gap in cultivator strength.
"Hehe, our four domains are probably just making up the numbers again!"
Central Domain's Domain Master Qin gave a bitter smile.
Though the Central Domain had Qin Wufa,
he was only of prodigy level.
Those who qualified to catch Lord Governor's attention were mostly talents above nine-star.
And Qin Wufa was currently only a seven-star Emperor.
The gap was simply too large.
"Yes indeed! Who could have imagined that the prodigies of the Northern Territory would be so formidable! Even ten-star Emperor Realm cultivators have appeared, and nine-star Emperor Realm cultivators are plentiful!"
Commander Ouyang of the Western Domain poured himself a glass of wine.
"In our three domains, we are certainly just making up the numbers. However, Lord Liu, your Eastern Domain might actually make it onto the list of prodigies this time!"
Lord Jiang of the Southern Domain said with a smile.
Ling Chen from the Eastern Domain emerged as an extraordinary talent.
It's said that even the Lord Governor holds him in high regard.
"I'm afraid it might not be so!"
Liu Xiao shook his head.
He had thought that with Ling Chen's talent, he should be able to stand out.
But seeing the abundance of nine-star Emperor Realm prodigies, he really started having doubts.
Just then, on impulse, the Lord Governor switched the display from showcasing Mu Jiuzhou to Ling Chen.
"Lord Liu, look, it's your man!"
Domain Master Qin reminded.
Liu Xiao and the others immediately looked over.
At that moment, on the screen, a figure in blue robes was seated cross-legged.
It was indeed Ling Chen.
Ling Chen's name was also known among the high echelons of Qing Province.
After all, it's rare to have someone who could slay a Commander of the Northern Territory.
Moreover, many had seen Ling Chen on a previous occasion.
The Lord Governor had even inquired how to deal with Ling Chen.
A Commander asked with a puzzled face.
Currently, nearly all the prodigies were hunting criminals in the World Prison.
Yet, Ling Chen had entered a state of cultivation.
Wasn't that a bit strange?
Though the Spiritual Energy in the Void Realm was indeed rich, there was no need to cultivate right now!
Shouldn't the most important thing be to advance?
Moreover, by not hunting criminals now, when the criminals gather together, a hundred against one, even if Ling Chen is an upper-rank Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master, he might not be sure to defeat them.
Wouldn't this be akin to giving up?
"This young man, he is rather ruthless! Does he want to sweep them all in one go?"
Mu Qing slightly furrowed his brow.
He had been keeping an eye on Ling Chen in the World Prison.
He had come to understand a lot about the latter's abilities.
Ling Chen's Divine Soul Attack was powerful enough to threaten seven-star Emperor Realm cultivators!
Moreover, his physical body was extremely strong.
He had also cultivated Sword Dao to the threshold level.
Although the hundred criminals were all seven-star Emperor Realm cultivators.
Dealing with them should not be very difficult for Ling Chen.
However, if those hundred people united against him, Ling Chen might have a tough time dealing with them.
Even his Divine Soul Attacks wouldn't achieve instant attacks on a hundred people.
At most, he could handle ten – that was the limit.
"What is Ling Chen doing, why isn't he hunting the criminals?"
Domain Master Qin wondered.
"He must have his reasons for doing so!"
He was not sure why Ling Chen was acting this way, but he believed that Ling Chen must have his reasons.
After observing for a while, they noticed Ling Chen remained still.
Mu Qing then switched the display to the other prodigies.
Of course, apart from Ling Chen, all the other prodigies were of eight-star Emperor Realm level.
Seven-star Emperor Realm cultivators couldn't even catch the eyes of Qing Province's top brass.
The first name finally appeared on the list of prodigies.
He was the first to complete the elimination of a hundred criminals, advancing to the second round!
As time went on, more and more prodigy names appeared on the list.
These individuals were almost all nine-star Emperor Realm cultivators.
Only a few were eight-star Emperor Realm cultivators.
The list of a hundred prodigies was quickly filled.
"Haha, it's my Li family's prodigy!"
"My Wang family's prodigy has made it onto the list!"
One joyful cheer after another rang out.
