Chapter 1251: The Lottery Begins
Unable to play, they could only place all their hopes on the shortlisted prodigies.
Many of the thousand shortlisted prodigies also looked extremely grim.
They felt they had been subjected to a more blatant humiliation than those who were eliminated!
"interesting."
A young man ranked over 300th curled his lips into a cold smile.
"She's provoking all of us."
His companion next to him snorted coldly.
"Provocation? She doesn't even deserve it."
“A useless mid-stage God King, I could crush her with a single finger.”
"What did she think this was? Playing house?"
"When we draw lots later, I'm really going to burn some incense and pray that I'll draw her!"
"Getting her is like advancing directly to the next round—it's a freebie!"
A sinister-looking cultivator licked his lips, his eyes filled with cruelty.
"Getting a bargain for free? No."
"If I were to draw her, I wouldn't let her lose so quickly."
"I'm going to cripple her in the ring, one move at a time, and teach her a lesson: there's a price to pay for using connections!"
These words resonated with many people around them.
Correct!
We can't let her be eliminated so easily!
In front of everyone, we must humiliate and torment her severely!
This is no longer a simple match.
This concerns the dignity of all the proud individuals who risked their lives to stand here!
A woman who got in through special privileges dares to be so arrogant and disdainful of all of them!
Who can swallow this insult?
"Everyone!"
A young master from a prominent family, ranked among the top 100, suddenly raised his arms and shouted.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
He looked around and said loudly.
"We have all witnessed this woman's arrogance!"
"She is not only humiliating us, but also desecrating this sacred gathering of geniuses!"
"We will absolutely not allow this to happen!"
He paused, then his voice suddenly rose, becoming highly inflammatory.
"I swear here and now! If I draw her, I will make her pay a bloody price for her arrogance!"
"And to the other fellow cultivators who have drawn her lots, please do not hold back!"
"We will use her crushing defeat to defend the honor of all of us!"
"Defend our honor!"
"Beat her up!"
"Get her out!"
A roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing in from all directions almost shattered the entire sky!
At this moment, whether they were shortlisted or eliminated, everyone's hostility was directed at those two women with unprecedented unity.
Faced with this scene, which was enough to make one's soul tremble.
Xie Purou's smile only grew brighter.
She turned her head to look at You Ruo, who remained calm and composed beside her, and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Senior sister, it seems I've become public enemy number one!"
You Ruo's gaze swept indifferently over the enraged crowd, and she was somewhat helpless about her junior sister's actions: "Didn't you ask for it yourself?"
Xie Purou chuckled, not taking it to heart.
Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on the few royal grandsons with gloomy faces, her fighting spirit almost tangible.
She wasn't looking forward to those small fry.
Instead, it's the top ten geniuses!
Several members of the royal family also noticed Xie Purou's battle-ready gaze. They were all stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that this woman would provoke them so directly.
"Interesting, these two women are indeed extraordinary!" Wuchen chuckled softly.
Wu Wang nodded and said calmly, "I don't believe they are such foolish women, which can only mean that they are truly powerful enough!"
"Let's see who's the best in the ring. If they can't last the last few rounds, they won't even have a chance to meet us!" Wu Jiang said coldly, then stopped paying attention to You Ruo and Xie Purou.
While they wouldn't underestimate these two women, it didn't mean they were afraid of them.
On the contrary, they remain confident in their abilities!
While almost everyone was shouting for the condemnation of You Ruo and Xie Purou, Shi Kai and Mu Wanling also gathered together in the crowd.
Mu Wanling was somewhat worried about You Ruo and Xie Purou's situation: "Brother Shi Kai, will these two sisters be alright?"
Shi Kai gave You Ruo and Xie Purou a deep look and said in a serious tone, "I think they are not simple. In the end, it may be their opponents who suffer the most!"
The violent roar, wave after wave, like a real raging torrent, crashed wildly against the entire White Jade Square!
At this moment, all the cultivators, whether eliminated or not, were completely ignited!
Their faces were filled with rage at being humiliated!
Countless malicious gazes transformed into sharp blades, all aimed at Xie Purou and You Ruo!
Just as this overwhelming rage was about to spiral out of control...
On the high platform.
The prince who had remained steadfast in his position finally made a move.
He didn't get up, nor did he say a word.
He merely glanced indifferently at the bustling crowd.
boom!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended from the sky!
That oppressive force was invisible and intangible, yet it was heavier than a ten-thousand-foot mountain!
The tens of thousands of cultivators who were roaring and raging like madmen just a second ago suddenly felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed their throats!
All the shouting, all the cursing, all the violent emotions, came to an abrupt halt!
The entire White Jade Square fell into an eerie silence once again.
Everyone felt as if their heart was being gripped tightly by that invisible hand, making it incredibly difficult to even breathe!
Their bodies were trembling, their souls were shaking!
This is the majesty of a prince!
With just one look, he dominated the entire scene!
The prince withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup in front of him, and gently blew on the steam.
His face betrayed no emotion.
But his heart was in turmoil.
Imperial Decree!
He understood the weight of those four words better than anyone else present.
My elder brother's judgment has always been sharp and never wrong.
He would never entrust something so important to two flashy but incompetent fools.
A deep, shrewd glint flashed in the prince's eyes.
He looked down at the two women below, one as calm as still water and the other undiminished in interest, despite his oppressive aura, and his curiosity grew even stronger.
interesting.
Since that's the case, then let me see it with my own eyes.
Let's see what skills you're hiding.
Let's see just how brilliant this move by my elder brother really is.
This atmosphere of anger and hostility is the first whetstone to test your mettle!
Thinking of this, the prince put down his teacup and uttered four words to the guard beside him.
“Start drawing lots!”
