Chapter 72: The Lottery Begins, Copper Beast Plate

  "This sentence should be said by Chu Mingde!" Chu Mingde, tall and majestic, took a step forward, like a giant pillar, his aura spreading far and wide. "The resources your Xu family has occupied are too many, now there is no matching strength! Our Chu family is the most qualified to replace you!"

  Xu Zhengchun stepped forward without showing any weakness and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xu Zhengxin.

  "Haha, Mingde brother is right, the Xushi family has indeed declined and does not match the status of the three major families." Ge Weifeng said with a cold expression, his icy breath spreading out.

  Just as the two sides were at an impasse, a commotion suddenly erupted from the entrance of the contestant area.

  "Who is that girl, she's really beautiful."

  "Shh, don't be reckless, that's the genius girl from the Imperial Family, Yu Xuanyu! She's a master of the Lei Ji Xuan Mai, already a mid-stage expert among the Xuanwu, and one of the most promising candidates to win this preliminary round."

  As everyone followed the sound and looked over, a silver-white girl with a cold expression floated in. Behind her, four young masters from noble families closely followed.

  The girl wore a cheongsam, her chest slightly bulging, not particularly plump, but a pair of long legs, set off by the cheongsam, were especially slender and sturdy, like a female leopard full of infinite explosive power.

  Ge Wei Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, and he quickly walked up to greet Yu Xuan Yu. Xu Zheng Xin, Xu Zheng Chun, and the others let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the storm had passed, but Chu Ming De said indifferently: "Look, both the Ge and Yu families have produced talented individuals, but your Xu family has no one to inherit its legacy. Now that Xu Chang Ling is dead, who can protect you, the Xu clan?"

  "Chu Mingde, you're provoking the Xu family!" Xu Zhengxin exclaimed in anger, his body radiating an intense aura of Xuanqi.

  "Don't fall for it, making a move in the contestant area will get you disqualified, Zhu Mingde did it on purpose." Xu Zhengchun pulled him back.

  Xu Zhengxin was not a reckless person, but Chu Mingde's words were extremely disrespectful to his grandfather, and he couldn't control his emotions for the moment. Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhengxin's eyes turned icy cold, saying: "Chu Mingde, I hope that when we draw lots for the preliminary selection, I'll be the first one to get you."

  Chu Mingde saw Xu Zhengxin's eyes and felt a sense of discomfort in his heart. He coldly smiled and said a few words of courtesy before leaving.

  "It's Xu Yang! He has finally arrived!"

  The stone road cleared of snow still had a faint water mark, the sound of horseshoes echoed, Xu Yang held Xu Yu in his arms and rode a fine horse at full gallop.

  "Brother, there are so many people!" Xu Yu held a fat ball in her arms, looking left and right, her eyes busy with the crowd.

  The horse's long neighing sound, Xu Yang pulled tight the reins and jumped off the horse.

  "Xiao Yu, you sit on the saddle and can still see the arena competition," Xu Yang tied the green horse to a pillar on one side and reminded, "Don't go far."

  "Uh-huh." Xu Yu nodded understandingly.

  As Xu Yang stepped forward, a fat ball emerged from Xu Yu's abdomen and a wisp of smoke climbed onto Xu Yang's shoulder.

  "Xu Yu puffed out a breath and said: 'Fatty! You're asking for death! From now on, I won't feed you meat anymore!'"

  Xu Yang chuckled and patted the snow-white fatty ball's head. The fatty ball opened its disproportionately large mouth, let out a contented yawn, then lay down on Xu Yang's shoulder, continuing to sleep.

  At the entrance of the contestant area, two staff members from the Haiyun Institute branch checked Xu Yang's jade plate and waved him through.

  In the contestant area, every young man was dressed in magnificent attire, adorned with gold and silver decorations, exuding an air of nobility. Among such a group of people, suddenly, someone wearing ordinary blue robes appeared, with a small monster perched on his shoulder, making him incredibly eye-catching.

  "Who is this person? Looking at his chest, there isn't a single family crest, probably a poor and unaffiliated individual."

  "I recognize him. He made a stunning debut at last month's Appraisal Conference, selling three ordinary medicine formulas in a row and earning over 20,000 Canglang coins. It's Xu Yang!"

  "Xu Yang? Isn't he only good at alchemy, his actual strength isn't outstanding, how did he get the jade token? Could it be that he's a member of the Xu family, but there's no Xu clan emblem on his chest..."

  Among the whispers of the crowd, Xu Yang stepped forward and arrived beside Xu Zhengxin and others.

  "You've finally arrived," Xǔ Zhèngxìn let out a sigh of relief. "I thought you'd forgotten the time."

  "Let the elder brother worry." Xuyang smiled slightly.

  Chu Mingde pulled at Ge Weifeng's sleeve, nodding his head in Xu Yang's direction. Ge Weifeng sneered, saying: "He has just entered the Xuan Shi realm and is still at the initial stage of cultivation. If I want to kill him, I won't need a second move!"

  Xu Yang's ears and eyes were sharp, and he heard the sentence. However, he didn't go forward to provoke them, but just took a glance and remembered Ge Weifeng and Chu Mingde.

  "Time's up, Haiyun pre-selection, officially begins!"

  A loud voice rang out, and a sturdy man with a small shield on his arm walked onto the stage, bowing to all sides. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have kept you waiting for a long time! My name is Hai Yue, and I am a teacher at the Haiyun Academy. I will be hosting this preliminary round of the Linwan City tournament!"

  A round of applause erupted around him, and Hai Yue was quite satisfied. He cleared his throat and said, "Please welcome the teacher Leping Yun who is stationed in Lin Yuan City!"

  With the cheers, a beautiful woman floated onto the stage, her upper body wearing a pink soft armor, and her lower body wearing seven-point leather pants, with a segment of dazzling white waist exposed in between. The turbulent chest, as well as the plump buttocks and small waist, made the latter appear more slender and charming by comparison.

  Such a beauty naturally catches more eyes, with cheers and applause all around, the momentum is even stronger than when Haiyue took the stage.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Tingyun. I'll be in charge of the judging for this preliminary round. Rest assured that everything will be fair and just!"

  When the applause subsided, Haiyue spoke up. His voice was not loud, but it reached every ear in the audience, as if he were having a private conversation with each of them, revealing his profound and mysterious skills.

  "Now, let's proceed to the first item, the lottery! This is the lottery box, embedded with Xuanjin Stone, which isolates Xuanli detection and absolutely does not allow cheating. Inside the lottery box, there are forty-six pairs of exotic beast copper plates! Among the ninety-two young talents present, each will draw a copper plate, and those who draw the same plate will be opponents!"

  The lottery rules are simple. The young people line up in a row, walk over one by one, shake the lottery box until an exotic beast copper plate falls out.

  Xu Yang felt a thrill of excitement and patted the small head of the fat ball, thinking to himself, "I wonder if I'll get a Heaven Swallowing Beast copper medal? That would be too interesting."

  "Yuexuan Rain! Yuexuan Rain has drawn the Qiongqi Copper Plate!" someone exclaimed, "I wonder which poor soul will get the other Qiongqi Copper Plate."

  "Ge Wei's lottery results are also out, bronze medal for whale shark! These few days of genius bronze medals are especially eye-catching."

  Xu Zhengchun stood in front of Xu Yang, calmed himself down, walked onto the stage, picked up the lottery box and shook it vigorously.

  With a "clunk", a copper plate fell from it.

  The bronze medal features the image of a sea-born ferocious beast, with a streamlined body, wide bloody mouth and sharp long teeth all vividly depicted.

  Someone who was secretly watching on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Whale Shark! It's Whale Shark! Ge Wei Feng's opponent has appeared!"

  PS: Unconsciously, "Xuan Huang" has been uploaded for 30 days and bid farewell to the new book list.

  In the fantasy genre, demigods are everywhere and gods are also common. To be honest, competing with all of you senior writers is a huge pressure for Xia.

  But Xiaoya is fearless! Because I have the support of all my brothers, you are my greatest backing, you are my source of motivation!

  In the following days, Xia will work hard to write every chapter well and have more explosive chapters to thank brothers for their support and encouragement!

  I beg of you, brothers who have seen this far, continue to support "Xuan Huang"! Let us march towards brilliance together!

  pps: Thank you to Brother [Loli Master] for another reward of 100 Qianbi coins.
