442: Enter the battlefield of nations

Whale Country, Imperial City, Dragon Family.

"What? You said you won't compete for a spot in the Golden Scale Sect's recruitment?!"

Dragon Xian looked at Dragon Xuan before him with a furious expression: "Do you know how much hope the Gaopeng Family has placed in you?!"

"The Golden Scale Sect recruits once every hundred years, and you are a rare Genius our Dragon Family has seen in a thousand years. This recruitment was prepared just for you, Xuan'er!"

"It doesn't matter if your Foundation is unstable now. With those five spots, as long as you are determined to Cultivate now, you can definitely compete for one!"

"Father, I've said it before, I don't want to step into the World of Cultivation again. I want to learn how to do business, just like you."

Dragon Xuan's eyes were filled with determination.

Golden Scale Sect.

Dragon Xuan had heard about this Immortal Cultivation sect since he was a child.

Half a month ago, he was still full of anticipation for this sect that pointed directly to the path of Immortality, dreaming of one day becoming the pride of the entire Dragon Family, becoming one of the strongest five people in Whale Country, and joining this sect!

But now.

He had no interest in this sect whatsoever.

It was like seeing through the beautiful fruit before him, to the foul smell within its flesh!

Everything, everything was just an arrangement by the existence above.

How could he possibly follow the path arranged for him by the person who killed his mother?

Refusing Cultivation, refusing to join the Golden Scale Sect, this was Dragon Xuan's path against Heaven!

"You!" Dragon Xian was so angry he was helpless.

Finally, he let out a long sigh of helplessness, turned around, and left.

...

As time passed, day and night.

The gaze of the entire Whale Country, and even the Three Kingdoms of the entire Great Yong Continent, were focused on the changing lists on their respective countries' prodigy ranking.

These lists could only be ascended by teenagers under twenty years old who had achieved shocking battle records.

As for Su Xuan.

After single-handedly destroying the bandit lair on Mount Futu, he immediately leaped to become the number one Prodigy in Whale Country!

However.

As it was revealed that Su Xuan's Foundation was unstable and ruined, and with no other battle records after the battle on Mount Futu, his ranking gradually began to drop.

1... 3... ... 7... ... 30... ...

In just under a month, Su Xuan's name completely fell out of the top hundred on the Whale Country prodigy ranking.

And in that top hundred list, another name steadily climbed.

Su Xuan, killed the Casting Platform Realm giant python in Ningyu Gully, ranked 59.

Su Xuan, killed the three Ghost Monsters inhabiting Dongle Village, ranked 32.

Su Xuan, killed a hundred demonic monks and an Upper Spirit Embryo Realm evil demon in Xianghong Temple, ranked 1!

One dazzling battle record after another, repeatedly refreshing the common people's worldview.

"He can even kill an Upper Spirit Embryo Realm! Is the current young generation under twenty so Heaven-Defying?!"

"It's not the young generation that's Heaven-Defying, it's this person who's Heaven-Defying!"

"Look at the second place on the prodigy ranking. His strongest battle record is just a draw with a fifth-level Casting Platform Realm cultivator. Although he's also very strong, compared to the first place Su Xuan, he's truly far inferior!"

News of the changes in the prodigy ranking naturally reached the Imperial Palace.

"Su Xuan..." On the throne, Ji San saw this name at the top of the list, which had completely created a gap with the second place, and lightly tapped the table with his finger.

"He's also a Jade Tablet Bounty Hunter."

"Your son... is truly excellent, just like you were back then." In a self-mutter, Ji San looked at the eunuch beside him.

"This name, cross it out. From now on, no matter what his battle records are, there's no need to record him on the prodigy ranking." Pointing at the name 'Su Xuan', Ji San said slowly.

"What?" The eunuch thought he had misheard: "Your Majesty, shouldn't such a rare Genius, rarely seen in a thousand years, be sent to the Golden Scale Sect?"

"Do as I say." Ji San didn't explain at all, repeating his command with a heavier tone.

"Yes!" The eunuch dared not say more.

The next day.

On the prodigy ranking posted in the major cities, Su Xuan, who had been at the top for over a month, was suddenly replaced by the second place.

Everyone thought that the second place had achieved some astonishing battle record that suddenly surpassed Su Xuan.

However, they didn't expect that the second place's battle record was still the same as before.

Then why wasn't Su Xuan first anymore?

After some checking.

The many onlookers were bewildered.

Su Xuan was actually no longer on the prodigy ranking!

What was going on?!

Could it be that he died?

As soon as this thought emerged, it was immediately accepted by the vast majority of the public.

Only by dying would he disappear directly from the first place and even the entire prodigy ranking.

"What a pity, it was hard to finally get such a Genius, and he's gone just like that."

"Indeed... Heaven envies geniuses!"

A sigh of lament rose from the crowd.

Su Xuan himself was also bewildered after hearing this news.

I died?

"The Royal Family removed your name from the prodigy ranking. It seems they don't want to give those five spots for recruiting Disciples into the Golden Scale Sect to you."

Dan Qu analyzed for Su Xuan from the side.

"Then what should I do? Master, didn't you say that only by joining the Golden Scale Sect can I access Immortal methods, become a strong person, and go to Hell to rescue Father and Mother?"

"We can only join the Golden Scale Sect through another method." Dan Qu's tone was slightly solemn.

"There's another way to join the Golden Scale Sect?"

...

The scene changed.

Su Xuan appeared among a group of teenagers under twenty years old.

In front of them was a Golden Scale Sect Disciple with one hand behind his back and a cold expression.

Behind this Golden Scale Sect Disciple was a Fourth-Rank Teleportation Array.

The Teleportation Array activated.

A line began to form.

Everyone seemed to already know this route and understood what they were about to face.

Besides some whispering, there was no other sound in the area.

"Take this. If you accumulate ten thousand points within three years, you will be qualified to join the Golden Scale Sect."

Just as Su Xuan was about to step into the Teleportation Array, the Disciple outside handed him a token.

Light flashed.

The scene changed.

Su Xuan found himself on a huge island.

At the center of the island was a Seven-Rank Teleportation Array belonging to the Golden Scale Sect!

And on this island, there were people packed densely!

Fluctuations from Fourth-Rank and Fifth-Rank Teleportation Arrays were still appearing around the island. After waves of people were sent away by the Seven-Rank Teleportation Array, waves of people were sent from the Fourth-Rank and Fifth-Rank Teleportation Arrays in other places.

If Su Yongchun saw this scene, he would surely sigh.

This was the difference between guaranteed admission and taking an exam.

It was just that the exams in the Cultivation World were undoubtedly more brutal.

Holding the token in his hand, Su Xuan let out a turbid breath and walked towards the Seven-Rank Teleportation Array.

The path of the strong is forged by stepping out from these fleeting masses.

The light of the Seven-Rank Teleportation Array was intense and bright.

As a ray of light connected to the sky curtain and transmitted him.

While subtly ascending, Su Xuan could see the light of several other Seven-Rank Teleportation Arrays on distant continents and islands.
