Samuel was looking through the contestants when he noticed something very important. Most people here did not reach the Golden core realm, or rather, most countries did not have Golden core realm cultivators at the age of fifty.Nearly seven out of ten people were still in the core formation realm. Some countries had only one or two Golden core realm cultivators among their representatives for the competition.Only top countries like Merika, Chineze republic, Slovian states, Burusia, and a few others had all Golden core realm cultivators in their ranks.But even then, it did not automatically make them the ultimate powers. Past competitions had already proven this, where less powerful countries managed to take first place. Still, it was undeniable that the top countries almost always occupied the top fifty due to the sheer number of talents they possessed.However, having many talents did not determine the number one position, as a single talent could be enough. Because of this, some

It was now the eighth batch. Aside from Carson and Heng Mei, two more people managed to reach the thirtieth step, but no one else reached the thirty first step.A man clad in black stood to the side, watching with a small smile on his lips. Today, no one was going to beat his record. He might appear cold and unconcerned on the surface, but deep inside, he knew that attitude was nothing more than a farce.Five minutes were almost up for the eighth batch. No one had climbed the thirtieth step. It seemed they were bound to fail.That was what he thought, but suddenly, a girl on the twenty ninth step managed to step onto the thirtieth step. She was the only one in the entire batch to do so.Amelia had already forgotten that she was angry with Samuel, and she nestled closer to him as she observed the eighth batch.“Amber is strong. She’s now the fifth person to make it to the thirtieth step and the only person among her group,” she said, her eyes wide.“You are right. She’s very strong,” S

The competition was already over, and the contestants gathered for the bone age testing.Among the one thousand plus participants, only two hundred managed to reach the tenth step. The rest were eliminated and asked to leave the Tournament stage.Among the two hundred who succeeded, hundreds were Golden core realm Cultivators, while the rest were at the peak level of core formation.Aside from Samuel and Amelia, someone else had reached the thirtieth step, a woman. She wore veils and did not reveal her face.Now there were a total of eight people who had made it to the thirtieth step: Samuel, Amelia, Carson, Heng Mei, the black clad youth, Amber, the veiled woman, and Dmitry.Among them, only three reached the thirty first step. And among those three, only two people made it past the thirty first step, while only one person reached the final step is Samuel.“This year’s talents are actually more powerful than those of other years. Based on estimation, the top contestants of the previo

Soon, it was the black clothed man's turn and, just as Samuel expected, he chose private."All those that go private are just doing too much. I see it as foolishness. Go out there. If you're an overachiever, brag about it. And those that made it into the top two hundred, their achievements weren't supposed to be bad either," Amelia complained."Well, maybe their bone age is far lower than their huge achievements," Samuel said."Then isn't that even more reason to show off and tell the world how powerful you are?" She raised an eyebrow."Amelia Demlows."Her name was called by the invigilators."Alright, that's me. Time to show off," she said as she walked toward the booth.Samuel shook his head and smiled wryly. This girl was too much. The booth opened automatically as she chose public.She placed her hand on the testing artifact."Bone age twenty-eight," the invigilator announced with a slightly shaky voice."What!" Both the contestants and the spectators exclaimed.Twenty-eight. Tha

“Samuel, Carson, Amelia, Heng Mei, Amber, Dmitry, Susan, and Kelvin. The eight of you performed exceptionally well. You will be excluded from the next two fighting-based tests that will take place within three days.On the fourth day, you will be joining again,” the invigilator announced.It was a reward for those that crossed the thirtieth stair. The last two people mentioned, Susan and Kelvin, were the veiled lady and the black-clad man.Today’s event was over, and everyone began making their way to their respective lodges. Some rented out hotels elsewhere, while most stayed in the lodges they were given.Heng Mei approached Samuel.“Hello. My name is Heng Mei,” he said, stretching out his hand for a handshake. Samuel accepted it.“Yes. You are very famous, so there’s no way I wouldn’t have heard of you,” Samuel said with a smile.“But this is the first place you heard of me, right?” Heng Mei asked.“Yes, I only heard of you today. It’s funny because everyone seems to know Heng Mei,

Samuel didn't know how to reply. Firstly, he couldn't be a hundred percent sure to begin with. Still, he would try his best to help her."I assure you, Amelia, I will do my best. But I can't be a hundred percent sure that I will find her, though," he added. He didn't want to make big promises that would fire back.Heng Mei knew the route to the lodge for the top figures that came for the tournaments, and he also knew many shortcuts. Soon, the red panguan blocked a huge black Jeep coming from another street."Shit!" the driver of the Jeep cursed.Staten frowned. "This is deliberate. We are under attack," he announced to his comrades.Suddenly, the tension eased when he saw familiar figures alight from the car."What are they doing here? These kids." He frowned and got down from the car immediately."Samuel, Amelia, what are you guys doing here? And you, Heng Mei, you are the disciple of that old cargo Grand Elder Chu, right? What are you guys doing blocking our way like that? You bette

Amelia noticed how seriously Heng Mei was staring and assumed it was because of the bra, so she covered her face, red like an apple."Samuel, this is a powerful divination method with many consequences. You, as a diviner, must know this, and the success rate is also very small. I would advise you not to go through with this. It's not worth it," he said seriously."Well..." Samuel shrugged. "I'm very much aware of that, but at the same time, I have many ways to lessen the consequences. Above all, I have been avoiding divination for a long time. I know very well that playing with the secrets of heaven and Earth is extremely risky.Because of that, the consequences will not be much since I haven't been divining for a long time. With the many ways I have to lower them, there might be very little or even no consequences this time." Samuel patiently explained to assure him."You do know there's a chance of you dieing, and also, how do you even possess a divination method that's unpar or bet

On their way, Heng Mei briefly told Samuel about Desolate's other business."You mean he had never had a bad record?" Samuel asked seriously."No, nothing I know of. How is he even related to her sister missing?" He asked curiously."It's complicated," Samuel sighed.Heng Mei nodded. His master is a diviner and he is one too, so he knew such matters could be extremely complicated, and explaining them might sometimes be impossible.They arrived before the desolate and parked in the garage."I just remembered something. The desolate are having a fight tonight. We would be able to go to the underground fighting ground if you want to," Heng Mei said."That will be great," Samuel nodded. The divination did not mention desolate, it said The desolate, so it was not just a clue pointing to the man desolate. It was a clue pointing to the fact that she might be in the place."Follow me, guys. Getting into the underground gambling den is not as easy as just entering," he said as he walked toward

Two huge iron cages were pushed inside the arena as the crowd went haywire. There were at least a hundred people present, and all of them were Cultivators and mages, ranging from qi gathering realm and Normal magus to a few Golden core realm experts and grandmasters magus.The cages were covered with black cloth, making everyone even more pumped with expectation.A man walked to the center of the stage. He had a scar on his face running from his eyes to his ears, curving sharply along the way. A cold, foreboding aura surrounded him.The moment he stepped onto the stage, the noise stopped automatically."That's Desolate," Heng Mei whispered.Samuel gazed at him. He could sense his aura fluctuating fiercely, and it was not stable at all. Mana spilled out now and then in an unnatural tandem.It was clear that his Mana circles were injured, yet Samuel could not determine his true strength and could not say for sure if he could defeat him.He also noticed a very lanky man behind him, a thi

People do not know there are people locked up here, and if they ever learned about it, it would not look good on them. But that was not happening at all.Desolate looked at the blue haired girl on his back. He had waited all these years for this opportunity. She was his only means to restore her power. If he lost her now, he might never get another chance to restore his own power.Let his reputation burn. What was reputation anyway? Could it be eaten? He could easily escape far away and never return.“Kid, how did you get past the guards in the corridor twice?” he asked.If the guard in the room had not pressed the emergency button, he would not have known anything was wrong.To prevent panic, the emergency button only connected to another button, and that button was held by Cat’s subordinate who was in charge of the prison.The button could only be pressed in extreme conditions and had to be reported to a higher authority first to avoid unnecessary panic. This was how the Desolate we
