478: Follow the main storyline, the protagonist

"Young Master, I have completed the registration. This is your identification tag."

Ye Tianji's form of address changed once again;

"I won't be able to follow up on subsequent matters."

"I hope the Young Master will be careful."

Ye Su nodded;

"Then you should head back."

"I'll wait outside for the Young Master's good news."

Ye Tianji said.

Ye Su nodded.

He stepped through the main gates of this place called Tanyang Academy.

The Tanyang City Grand Competition was like this.

Many people came every year.

As long as they passed, they would enter Tanyang Academy to cultivate.

Other trivial matters would be handled by the servants arranged by the academy.

Cultivators didn't have many mundane chores, and the academy could manage the arrangements.

The day of the Grand Competition was undoubtedly the most tense.

Many students from the academy were assigned official duties to act as guides.

As soon as Ye Su entered the gate,

Someone came forward to meet him.

After checking Ye Su's tag, they led him to the site of the Grand Competition.

The Grand Competition was straightforward, without much hype.

After all, ability was ability.

The moment you entered Tanyang Academy, your age information would be scanned.

Those who were over the age limit couldn't even get in.

The student leading the way told Ye Su some rules and information.

It was very simple.

The number on your identification tag was your name.

After a series of battles, once you reached a certain rank, you would be admitted to the academy.

But after admission, the competition would continue.

To determine the top rank.

The resources enjoyed by the top rank were several times those of others.

There was no other way; this was competition.

Ye Su nodded, indicating he understood.

Very soon,

A massive platform appeared before his eyes.

Surrounding it were a large number of competitors from various small towns or Great Clans.

Everyone was nervous; after all, not many people could stay.

Ye Su scanned the surroundings.

He found that social circles had already formed.

Colorful Phoenix was surrounded by many people.

The same was true for some disciples of the Great Clans.

The Grand Competition was fair; whether you were from a minor clan or a Great Clan, if you wanted the Tianshu Realm Cultivation Technique, this was the only path.

The Grand Competition was also unfair; after all, disciples of Great Clans had enjoyed more resources since childhood than you.

But combat power still had to be compared.

Ye Su quickly looked in one direction.

It was a Beast Skin Youth, his eyes darting around as he scanned the entire field.

On his body, there was a mysterious aura.

It was like—Luck!

"Heh, found you."

"With Luck descending upon you, could you be the Protagonist?"

"If you are the Protagonist, then the development of this main timeline is a bit slow!"

Ye Su smiled.

The Protagonist's development is usually very fast.

But Ye Su had caught up in just one day.

It had to be said, the methods of an evil Cultivator were truly extraordinary.

Soon,

The Grand Competition began.

Round after round of battles began to play out.

Everyone was in the Tianshu Realm.

This Realm was characterized by high attack and weak defense.

Therefore, the speed of the battles was very fast.

Victory or defeat was often decided in just a few moves.

Tanyang Academy had an excellent medical team; as long as you didn't die on the spot,

They could definitely make you stand up full of vigor before your next match.

"The Tianshu Realm only has spiritual energy attacks. Fighting back and forth only results in physical damage, while the Divine Soul remains unharmed, so treatment is very easy,"

Ye Su thought to himself.

It seemed this kind of Grand Competition had already become highly standardized.

Ye Su had already taken the stage several times.

He easily defeated his opponents every time.

For no other reason

Than his cheats being too powerful.

Whether it was the Flesh and Blood Power or his pure body,

The terror they brought in battle was like an insurmountable chasm.

To put it bluntly,

With the Flesh and Blood Power protecting him, very few people could even break Ye Su's defense just by standing there.

Let alone anyone being able to confront Ye Su head-on.

After several rounds,

Ye Su began to attract attention.

Because his fighting style was far too concise.

One punch!

Just one punch.

The opponent simply couldn't resist and could only leave the stage in defeat.

And among those present who could achieve this,

There were only a few others.

These few were the objects of everyone's attention.

Colorful Phoenix.

The Beast Skin Youth.

Ye Su.

And Zhang Zhao from a great family of Tanyang City!

After two more rounds, the admission spots were finalized.

Those who got in were jubilant.

Those who failed were dejected.

But the Grand Competition continued, and now they were fighting for the top rank.

Ultimately,

Everyone's gaze was fixed on those four people.

Under the academy's intentional manipulation,

These four would also truly begin to clash.

Ye Su VS Colorful Phoenix.

Beast Skin Youth VS Zhang Zhao.

First, Ye Su took the stage.

Looking at the lithe woman opposite him, Ye Su couldn't help but feel curious.

The Tianshu Realm lacked methods for Divine Soul defense.

And the opponent used Charm Techniques, or rather, a Heart Sutra or Cultivation Technique in that direction.

It would instantly strike the Divine Soul.

In a fight, she naturally held the advantage.

Those who fought her previously were all instantly entranced,

And then with a light palm strike, she would knock them off the platform.

"Big brother has such fierce fists, please show this little girl some mercy."

Colorful Phoenix smiled.

Ye Su narrowed his eyes.

It had already begun.

The Divine Soul impact had already swept over.

Invisible impacts were the most terrifying.

Then it slammed into Ye Su's Divine Soul.

Bang—the attack self-destructed and shattered.

Colorful Phoenix's expression changed.

It failed.

The opponent's Divine Soul was like a divine mountain, completely immovable.

It was as if a trace of Luck was shrouding it.

This kind of standard setup—made Colorful Phoenix unable to help but think of what her family had said;

There are always some people who are born blessed—they are the chosen Protagonists!

A brilliant light flickered in Colorful Phoenix's eyes.

Could it be—she had found him!

Seeing Ye Su steadily approaching,

Colorful Phoenix immediately said;

"I concede!"

She even threw Ye Su a flirtatious wink.

It was a pure one,

Without any of that special power mixed in.

It left Ye Su completely bewildered.

After winning against Colorful Phoenix,

Ye Su returned to his original spot to watch the next match between the Beast Skin Youth and Zhang Zhao.

To his surprise, Colorful Phoenix squeezed through the crowd under countless gazes.

"Young Master, I heard the top rank can choose a Dual Cultivation partner. What do you think of me?"

Colorful Phoenix said with a smile.

Ye Su was stunned.

"The top rank has many benefits, all sorts of techniques, and among them are even specialized Dual Cultivation Techniques!"

"But I'm not the top rank yet."

"You will be soon."

A smile played on the corners of Ye Su's mouth.

This girl, she couldn't be an undercover agent for the Immortal Beings, could she?

Something like Dual Cultivation was the most effective way to siphon Luck.

Am I holding the Protagonist's script now?

No.

Still a little bit off.

After the next match is over, I'll be holding the Protagonist's script.

Then, I can use the Protagonist's script to see how the Supreme Experts intend to arrange for this Protagonist.

If I can take his place, I will.

If not, then I'll just snatch it.

Supreme Experts won't come to act as bodyguards.

Everything depends on one's own ability!

If it weren't so, the Immortal Beings wouldn't have gone to the trouble of planting undercover agents to compete with the Protagonist.

Just as Ye Su expected,

The battle between the Beast Skin Youth and Zhang Zhao appeared to be evenly matched.

In fact, Zhang Zhao even seemed a bit stronger.

However—under the influence of the Luck in the unseen,

The final winner was the Beast Skin Youth.

Tsk tsk...

The Protagonist is indeed the Protagonist.

And the next match...

Ye Su let out a long sigh; he had finally caught up to the schedule.

Whether it was a secret substitution or a calculated replacement,

It would all be decided in this one battle.

Well then.

In this howling wind,

Who is the true hero?
