645: Chapter 645 Since we're going to test the disciples, we should definitely make it a bit more difficult!

"Holy crap? What... what's going on? Why is all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Great Profound Realm surging toward this place???"

"What is the Holy Master doing?"

"Hey, hey, hey, look... those floating Arenas!"

"What kind of method is the Holy Master using? He actually... changed the terrain of nearly a hundred Arenas in an instant?"

"More importantly, the Holy Master can actually use so many different elemental attributes of the Power of Law!"

"And his control is so precise; the various types of Power of Law haven't damaged any of the original Restrictions within the floating Arenas at all!"

"Hiss~ Not only has the terrain changed, but those hundred or so floating Arenas have also turned into individual independent spaces!"

"This, this, this..."

...

The Disciples watched the surrounding floating Arenas in stunned silence.

At this moment, the Elders on the Observation Deck were also completely bewildered, gasping in shock and unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Within the originally monotonous floating Arenas, various terrains suddenly appeared—mountains, lakes, jungles, deserts, wastelands, and more.

These terrains are very common in the Cultivation World, but they had been modified from their original states to become much more complex.

More importantly, these terrains were all condensed within the small floating Arenas.

Furthermore, these hundred or so floating Arenas were no longer the same as before.

Although their external size appeared unchanged, the internal space was dozens of times larger than before, essentially becoming individual Arena spaces.

"This should be about right!" Su Yun looked at those Arena spaces and nodded with satisfaction, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Since he was going to test the Disciples, he naturally had to add some difficulty!

How boring would a standard flat Arena battle be! Having different terrains is much more interesting.

The Disciples hadn't reached the Dao Integration Realm yet, so these terrains would still have some impact on them; the lower their Realm, the greater the impact.

After all, these Arenas all have Flight-Prohibition Restrictions, limiting the height they can fly, so they can only fight on these terrains.

Fortunately, he had devoured many different elemental Origins, which allowed him to utilize multiple types of the Power of Law.

Although these types of Power of Law weren't as strong as the ones he specialized in, they were sufficient for simulating various terrains.

Soon, the Disciples below snapped out of it, some rejoicing while others worried:

"This competition looks much harder than the previous ones! After all, I'm not very good at fighting in the jungle!"

"A unique test set by the Holy Master? Interesting! Ha~ hahaha! I can't wait to show off my formidable strength!"

"Huh? What if... I'm assigned to a terrain that doesn't suit me? Can we choose the Arena for the match ourselves?"

...

Immediately, Su Yun waved his hand, signaling the Disciples to be quiet.

Seeing this, the Disciples who were buzzing with discussion instantly stopped talking.

Once they had quieted down, Su Yun's expression softened as he continued in a loud voice:

"Disciples, do not worry. Every match in this competition will have its terrain randomly assigned."

"Furthermore, when assigning terrains, we will not choose one that gives an advantage to either side."

"For example, a Disciple with water-attribute Spiritual Qi will not be assigned to a lake terrain."

"A Disciple with wood-attribute Spiritual Qi will not be assigned to a jungle terrain."

"This is to ensure the fairness of the matches as much as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Disciples' hearts were set at ease:

"That's good. Maybe the environment chosen will be one the opponent isn't good at?"

"I've fought others on these types of terrain before; it seems my chances of winning have increased a bit!"

"Let the competition start already! My spirit sword is already restless... it says it wants to be unsheathed!"

...

Then, Su Yun flickered back to the front of the group of Elders and looked at Liu Chengfeng. "Alright, Elder Liu, the competition can begin now! Do exactly as I just said!"

"Yes, Holy Master! I'll get right on it!" Liu Chengfeng cupped his hands and then gave orders to the deacons standing by.

Soon, the Disciples below received their Numbered Tokens from the deacons.

Afterward, the deacons began randomly assigning opponents and terrains to the Disciples according to their numbers.

Of course, at the beginning, every Disciple would face an opponent of a similar Realm, and they wouldn't encounter anyone with a vast difference in strength.

As the rankings went higher later on, the opponents they faced would become stronger.

Seeing the Disciple Competition proceeding in an orderly fashion, Su Yun flickered and sat upon the Holy Master's Throne in the very center of the Observation Deck, leaning back comfortably against the backrest.

To be honest, this Holy Master's Throne felt quite good to sit on!

He looked at the group of Elders who were still dazed and waved his hand. "Elders, why are you still standing there? Sit down and watch the matches!"

"Yes, Holy Master!"

Only then did the Elders snap out of their daze, cupping their hands and looking at Su Yun with eyes full of awe.

Following Su Yun's instructions, they sat on the Spiritual Chairs prepared for the Elders around him.

Once all the Elders were seated, the deacons circulated their Spiritual Qi and activated the observation Restrictions on the Observation Deck.

Lines of Law Patterns appeared, emitting a dazzling light of laws.

Buzz, buzz, buzz——————

Nearly a hundred Spiritual Qi light screens suddenly appeared, projecting scenes from each Arena space to make it easier for the Elders to watch the Disciples' matches.

The Disciple Competition officially began at this moment.

...

Su Yun watched the Disciples' matches with interest for a while but soon withdrew his gaze.

After all, these were battles between Cultivators who hadn't reached the Dao Integration Realm, and it wasn't yet Yuyao and the others' turn to take the stage, so there wasn't much to see.

Furthermore, there was no protagonist, only a few supporting characters with relatively low Luck Ranks.

So, what should he do now? Should he just go back to his Immortal Cave to cultivate? Slip away?

Forget it, he was already the Taixuan Holy Master!

His every word and action influenced all the Disciples, so he shouldn't just slip away as he pleased; he had to be a bit responsible!

Su Yun thought for a moment, then turned to Liu Chengfeng sitting beside him. "Elder Liu, has anything major happened across the Central Region in the past half month?"

Half a month ago, in the Council Hall, he had ordered Liu Chengfeng to send people to investigate the movements throughout the Central Region.

Since he had nothing to do, he might as well ask about the results of the investigation.

Perhaps there would be some unexpected discovery!

Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng was taken aback for a moment before saying directly, "Reporting to the Holy Master, I have found that several major events have occurred across the Central Region recently. First, about ten days ago, the Xu Family..."

"The Xu Family matter... I've already heard about it!" Su Yun cut Liu Chengfeng off. "Tell me something else!"
