Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1718

Chapter 1718 Tournament of Rising Stars(2)

Once the tournament officially began, a hundred pairs of participants entered their individual platform. Since there were tens of thousands of participants, it'd take weeks if not months to finish the tournament if they did one match at a time.

None of the Demon Sealing Faction members were chosen for the first session, so they merely stood in their area and waited for their turn. A few of them were staring at Yuan, trying to analyze him.

Li Jinxi had the most intense gaze, but it was not because she recognized Yuan.

'Why am I getting this weird feeling in my gut when looking at that person?' she wondered inwardly. It was an inexplicable feeling she was not familiar with. She wondered if this feeling was a natural desire to battle someone strong or something else entirely different.

"Burning Lotus Sword Art!"

A handsome young man with black and red hair unleashed a powerful and dazzling sword technique, instantly catching the spectators' attention.

"That must be Xing Chen, the number one disciple of the Burning Lotus Sword Sect. His sword art is as grand and powerful as they claim! He definitely deserves the title 'Sword That Burns All!'"

Several platforms away, a beautiful young lady wielded a green fan as she leaped around the platform with graceful movements, resembling a dancer.

"Fairy Ling is as beautiful as ever! I'd climb a thousand mountains just to have a glance of her beauty!"

Although many participants were disciples of sects, the majority hailed from prominent clans and families that spanned across the Fourth Heaven. While these individuals might also be disciples of various sects, they were here primarily representing their families, promoting the strength and pride of their bloodlines.

The rest of the participants were rogue cultivators, and a sizable portion of them stood out from the rest, mostly because of their demeanor and attitude towards the tournament.

"Damn! This event is too difficult! Who could possibly win this?!" A specific individual shouted after losing to his opponent. There were other players besides the Demon Sealing Faction present at the tournament. Whether they were qualified to even participate or not was a different story. Three years may not seem like a significant amount of time to those born in the cultivation world, but for those from Earth, three years was a substantial period. In that time, the entire Cultivation Online player base made remarkable progress in their cultivation, advancing far beyond what even talented people born in the Nine Heavens could achieve.

While not every player had made significant progress, this was largely because not everyone pursued advancement with the same level of effort or determination. However, those who did dedicate themselves to improving had risen far beyond what individuals of the same caliber, born in the Nine Heavens, could typically achieve.

In other words, even those players with average talents were able to surpass the talented natives of the Nine Heavens, thanks to the system's assistance. The system provided the players with advantages that allowed for faster growth and cultivation progress in ways that natural talent alone could not.

However, in the eyes of the natives of the Nine Heavens, the players simply appeared to be extraordinary geniuses. Even if some sensed that something was unusual, the Celestial Emperor's curse worked its magic, making the players' presence and achievements seem completely normal.

"I'll be right back," he said to them before walking to the stage in calm steps. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
