Chapter 82: The Top Ten Strongest People

  This night was destined to be a sleepless night, and it also made the two words "Su Ming" deeply engraved in the hearts of these young people, making them unforgettable for eternity. When they returned to their tribe, their tribe no longer had any animosity towards the Su Tribe, but instead actively offered sacrifices to the Su Tribe, seeking friendly relations with them.

  Su Ming solidified the position of the Su clan through this election, and had a momentum of continuous expansion. Moreover, he got the full support of the Western City Prefecture, and soon after, several tribes that threatened it were left far behind.

  The next morning, more than 30 young people had gathered at the martial arts training ground, each with an expectant look on their faces. Once selected, they would receive a generous reward and unparalleled honor, but they didn't know that after being selected, they would still face the threat of death.

  "After ten days of trials, I have selected the strongest ten among you. Now, I will announce their names: Su Ming, Xiao Ling, Mu Tian, Deng Shao, Guan Ji, Zheng Fan, Mao Dong, Mei Chen, Feng Jie, Yan San."

  The list of the top ten came out, and everyone's expression was different. Those who were selected all had smiles on their faces, including Su Ming, but his smile was because Su Wei wasn't selected, so he didn't have to worry about Su Wei being in danger.

  Su Wei was not selected, not because Su Wei's strength was not good enough, but because he was heavily injured and needed some time to recover. At the same time, Zhou Changlao discovered that Su Ming was very concerned about Su Wei's safety and would not allow anything to happen to him. This time, the heavy casualties of the Fan Xinjing team were caused by their insistence on killing Su Wei.

  Seven of the top ten were members of the Innate Boundary team, all of whom performed exceptionally well in this mission. The other three young men were members of the Mortal Boundary team, who seized the opportunity after their previous battle and successfully entered the Innate Boundary, showing Elder Zhou their boundless fighting spirit.

  After Zhou Lao announced the list, he presented the rewards one by one to those who had obtained them, and let the people of Xicheng Prefecture send back the eliminated youths to their respective tribes.

  The remaining ten boys were reassigned to new residences by Elder Zhou, three per courtyard, and told that the Master of the Spiritual Hall would personally receive them in three days' time, leaving them overjoyed.

  The master's status is higher than that of the elder, and his strength has reached the full period of the Tianling realm. He is only one step away from the Zifu realm. If they can get his guidance, they will go a long way in their future cultivation path.

  These three days were the busiest for Su Ming, as every day there were all sorts of people looking for him, some to spar with, others to ask for advice on their experiences. What made Su Ming most helpless was that someone even came to propose a marriage arrangement. On the last day, Su Ming locked himself in his room and refused all visitors, ordering his new younger brother Mu Tian to guard the door tightly.

  Mu Tian, Xiao Ling, and Su Ming were separated into a courtyard. Mu Tian hadn't even waited for Su Ming to enter the house before challenging him. Who knew that Su Ming would strike him with one punch, sending him flying, leaving him unable to get up for half a day? This one punch thoroughly defeated Mu Tian, making him want to acknowledge Su Ming as his leader.

  Su Ming had originally refused, but Mu Tian stuck to him like chewing gum, even sleeping in Su Ming's room and not leaving. In the end, Su Ming reluctantly agreed to Mu Tian and let him guard the door, blocking other visitors.

  Mu Tian's talent is not as outstanding as Su Ming and Xiao Ling, but among the younger generation, he is also a remarkable figure, and belongs to the kind of person who has both bravery and strategy. He lacks the natural leadership aura that Xiao Ling possesses, but can still become a general.

  Originally, Mu Tian was going to follow Xiao Ling, but after the battle with the Fang Xinjing team, Mu Tian changed his mind and decided to follow Su Ming. The tribe where Mu Tian is located is a small tribe, and his strength in the tribe is the strongest, even stronger than the tribal chief, and he is the hope of their tribe's future.

  Because Mu Tian's tribe was too small, resulting in a lack of cultivation resources for Mu Tian, his father arranged for him to meet some talented young men from larger tribes. This would allow him to gain the support of these larger tribes and have access to more cultivation resources. When he reached the Tian Ling realm, he could then greatly expand his tribe.

  Originally, Mu Tian thought he would be the strongest in this election, but unexpectedly, two people stronger than him appeared, and they were not just a little bit stronger. So Mu Tian gave up his initial idea of being the team leader and winning over some people's hearts, and instead became friends with Xiao Ling or Su Ming. In the end, because Su Ming was too dazzling, Mu Tian made up his mind to follow Su Ming.

  Three days later, Zhou Changlao brought Su Ming and the others to the entrance of the Spiritual Temple and had them wait patiently outside. He then entered the temple himself.

  After the old man Zhou left, everyone looked at the spiritual temple in front of them. There was no majestic and powerful hall, no exquisite carvings, no carefully designed garden, only a simple stone house, a natural grassland, making people wonder if they had come to the wrong place.

  "Young master, there should be a small Soul Gathering Array and a small Illusory Array here."

  Su Ming's doubts had just arisen when the little demon's voice echoed in his mind.

  "Spirit, you mean what I saw was an illusion?" Su Ming asked in confusion.

  "Yes, young master."

  "How can I break through this illusion then?" Su Ming asked curiously.

  "Accept prop quest, obtain first-class broken fantasy potion prop."

  "First-class? Is it graded?" Su Ming asked in puzzlement.

  "Of course, this is determined by the level of the formation method. The higher the level of the formation method, the higher the level of the broken fantasy water required, and the higher the level of the broken fantasy water, the greater the difficulty of the task."

  "So that's how it is, the system really is quite despicable." Su Ming said with some resentment.

  "Young master, in human words, what you're experiencing now is called 'being born with a silver spoon and not knowing it'."

  "Hey, little elf, you've even learned to lecture me now, do you believe I..."

  "Young master, what do you plan to do with the little spirit?"

  "For now, I haven't thought of anything, let's talk about it later." Su Ming once again snapped back to reality with a gloomy face.

  More than half a time period had passed, and Elder Zhou still hadn't come out. At this point, the crowd was getting impatient, but since they were in the Western City Prefecture, they didn't dare to complain, so they could only endure and continue waiting.

  "Are you the strongest ten people selected from the tribes?" Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a piercing voice came from the front.

  The crowd looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw three innate realm warriors walking out of the spiritual hall. From their eyes, the crowd saw disdain and prejudice, which made them extremely uncomfortable.
