252: Join Thor's Palace

Lü Tan said, "It is highly likely that the matter of you killing the Xuan Star Hall Elder has been uncovered through investigation."

"Then what do they mean? Are they looking for trouble?"

"Not necessarily! The Four Great Divine Palaces have always refrained from interfering with each other. They wouldn't even look twice at a mere Star Profound Palace. To put it bluntly, in the Super Profound Domain, other forces are not even worth mentioning except for the Four Great Divine Palaces."

"Then what is the relationship between the Star Profound Palace and the Ice God Palace?"

Azure Dragon said, "I once heard a rumor that an old Saintess of the Ice God Palace was infatuated with the founder of the Star Profound Palace. But they ultimately couldn't be together, so the two sides made a pact: all Saintesses of the Ice God Palace must marry the Saints of the Star Profound Palace. The reason the Star Profound Palace is called one of the six major forces is entirely because the Ice God Palace supports them from behind."

"Oh? So that means the strength of this Star Profound Palace isn't as formidable as I imagined?"

Lü Tan said, "So, do you want to show your face? I estimate you have a chance to join the Thunder God Palace."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll go and fight a few rounds!"

Soon, Jiang Ye and the others arrived at the site of the Genius Selection Tournament. There weren't many participants this time, only a little over five hundred. This was because the requirements were very high; one had to reach the Profound Emperor Realm to be eligible to participate."

And in the Four Great Divine Palaces, the Profound Emperor Realm only met the conditions for an Outer Sect Disciple."

A short while later.

The representatives of the Super Profound Domain had all arrived. The geniuses participating in the tournament were also ready and could start the battle at any moment!

After all the participants had finished their appearances, everyone looked toward the Thunder God Palace, waiting for that heavyweight figure to give a speech.

An Elder of the Star Profound Palace interrupted everyone, saying, "Wait! I heard there is a person here named Jiang Ye who killed an Elder of my Star Profound Palace. Now, get the hell out here!"

"Hehe! As expected, they're here to cause trouble!" Jiang Ye chuckled and walked out, saying, "So what if I killed him?"

"Humph! Then I shall send you on your way!"

Suddenly, a booming voice bellowed, "Get the hell to the side!"

Everyone's heart jolted. An Elder of the Ice God Palace quickly said to the Star Profound Palace Elder, "Elder Qiu, back down quickly! Do not delay Elder Lei Bao's speaking time for the Thunder God Palace."

The Star Profound Palace Elder had an indifferent attitude and said, "Please wait a moment, Elder Lei..."

"Die!"

Lei Bao's killing intent swept forward. Elder Qiu was startled. "What! You dare kill me? The Ice God Palace and us..."

Boom!!! A surge of Power of Thunder directly blasted that Elder Qiu into ashes.

"Ki... Killed him??" Everyone at the scene was so shocked their mouths could hardly close!

The Ice God Palace Elder said, "Elder Lei Bao, although he was offensive, his crime didn't warrant death, right?"

"What? Is your Ice God Palace going to stand up for this group of soft-rice-eating bastards again?"

"You..." The Ice God Palace Elder looked aggrieved but helpless. Lei Bao's status in the Thunder God Palace was very high. Although he was publicly declared an Elder, his strength had always been a mystery to the outside world. Even the Palace Master of the Thunder God Palace had to show him some respect; no one understood why he would come here.

At this moment, Jiang Ye suddenly walked toward Lei Bao and said, "Elder Lei, hello! I want to directly join the Thunder God Palace. I wonder if that's possible?"

"Oh?" Lei Bao was taken aback, slightly surprised. This person's courage was even greater than the rumors. "What ability do you have to join my Thunder God Palace?"

Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt!!! A Thunder Ball instantly condensed in Jiang Ye's hand, crackling. He said, "Would it be acceptable for me to join the Thunder God Palace as an Inner Sect Disciple?"

Lei Bao looked at the Thunder Ball in his hand and thought to himself: As expected, my coming here wasn't in vain!

"Not enough! I need to see something even more powerful!" Lei Bao said with a calm face.

Boom!!! Jiang Ye suddenly erupted with even stronger Power of Thunder. The Thunder Ball instantly grew a hundred times larger, and the power of that Thunder Ball increased by more than a hundredfold accordingly.

Lei Bao chuckled and said, "Hehe, interesting! Is this your limit?"

Jiang Ye shook his head. "No! With this power, I can make the Thunder Ball another hundred times stronger."

"Truly?"

"I have no need to lie."

"Good, then come to my Thunder God Palace and be an Elite Disciple!" After Lei Bao finished speaking, he immediately tossed him an Elite Disciple token.

"Thank you, Elder Lei!" Jiang Ye cupped his hands in thanks and then walked toward the Thunder God Palace Disciple area.

Everyone was incredibly astonished. He became a Disciple of the Thunder God Palace just like that? And an Elite Disciple at that!

At this time, Shi Feng also walked toward the Illusion God Palace and said, "I want to join the Illusion God Palace. I wonder if that's possible?"

The Illusion God Palace Elder didn't find it surprising; they knew before coming that there were a few Disciples worth recruiting into the palace.

"Wait!" Suddenly, another man and woman appeared before the Illusion God Palace Elder and said, "We also want to join the Illusion God Palace!"

The Illusion God Palace Elder said, "You should still demonstrate your strength in the tournament. Don't waste time!"

Shi Feng said, "If I cannot take these two down within one move, I will withdraw from this selection tournament."

"Oh?" The Illusion God Palace Elder was taken aback, feeling somewhat pleasantly surprised. "Then let's begin. Don't delay the time of the selection tournament!"

Immediately, the three of them prepared. Shi Feng directly used the Chaos Heart Demon. Both of their hearts jolted simultaneously, and they didn't dare to make another move. Shi Feng walked over, took out his long sword, and lightly tapped each of their shoulders.

The Illusion God Palace Elder was very surprised; this person was even stronger than he had imagined. He said, "Good methods! But your Realm is only at the Xuan Emperor Realm Ninth Stage. You should enter the Inner Sect first, and then achieve a Breakthrough to the Profound Transformation Realm as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Elder!" Immediately, Shi Feng also walked toward the Illusion God Palace Disciple area.

At this time, the host of the scene said loudly, "Then let the first round of the Elimination Tournament begin!"

Soon, the one-on-one elimination matches began, though the first few rounds weren't much to look at. It wasn't until the top fifty were decided that the representatives of the Four Great Divine Palaces began to watch a bit more seriously.

However, at this point, there was a one-hour break to allow the geniuses who had advanced to the final rounds to adjust to their best state.

At this time, the people from the Super Profound Domain forces also prepared to go down and rest. Jiang Ye followed the other Thunder God Palace Disciples to the rest area, but they encountered Star Profound Palace Disciples halfway.

A young man claiming to be an Elite Disciple of the Star Profound Palace blocked Jiang Ye's path and said, "You killed our Star Profound Palace Elder; do you think you're safe just by joining the Thunder God Palace? We have plenty of ways to deal with you. We'll start by taking action against your family soon!"

Jiang Ye's eyes were cold, and his killing intent erupted. "Then you should go on your way first!"

Pfft!!! Like a flash of light, Jiang Ye's sha long spear had already pierced through the throat of the Star Profound Palace Elite Disciple.

The Disciples of both forces were shocked. He was actually so decisive in his killing, striking as soon as he said he would without the slightest hesitation.

Other Star Profound Palace Disciples said, "You dare to kill our Star Profound Palace Elite Disciple..."

"Get lost! If you damn well block the way again, I'll blast you stray dogs who lie between women's legs and lick them to death!" Hu Shuo, an Elite Disciple who had come from the Thunder God Palace, cursed.

Jiang Ye directly threw the corpse of that Star Profound Palace Elite Disciple onto the ground and then prepared to leave. At this time, the Elders of the two forces heard the argument and both walked over.

The Star Profound Palace Elder saw that their only Elite Disciple who had come over had already been killed and said furiously, "Who did this?"

Lei Bao also asked in a stern voice, "Hu Shuo, what's going on?"

Hu Shuo had an air of indifference as he said, "It's nothing. Just now, the Star Profound Palace Disciple wanted to spar with our new Disciple. Later, for some reason, he seemed to go mad and directly lunged toward our Disciple's spear, impaling himself and then dying."

Lei Bao said solemnly, "Oh! So that's how it was. Then when you spar with people in the future, you must pay more attention. Don't always let yourself be wrongly accused by people who commit suicide on purpose."

Jiang Ye was stunned. You can even play it like this? Is this really the style of the Four Great Divine Palaces?
