Chapter 628

Match Start
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed and the TongTian Palace competition was starting.

You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao left two days early as TongTian Palace wasn’t in the Central City. They were also going to meet up with people of the XiaoYao Institution and head there together. If it was just him, before he even got to the TongTian Palace entrance, he would have been rejected half-way by a screening.

Some say that the TongTian Palace was the most prestigious place of the TongTian Continent. It stood at the peak of the mountains, it overlooked the earth, and it towered over in magnificence. Some described it as a giant, protecting the land beneath its feet.

Although it was a bit exaggerated, no one could deny that it existed for a very long time and left an everlasting impression on practitioners. Even if the TongTian Palace didn’t have a belief or faith, some still considers it a holy place.

Once You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao reached the entrance of the XiaoYao Institution, there were many who had already been waiting outside. Some say that it wasn’t nearly as dense as before, but with all of the rainbow level mages of tens or so floors of the Giganticus, it was a hefty amount.

It was also his first time seeing this many rainbow mages. Ever since he moved to the ninetieth floor, he almost never stayed there, much less attended the challenger matches. Thus, he had never seen this many people gathered before.

You XiaoMo thought of his time in the Long Xiang Continent, at that time, those who had a rainbow soul were so few that one could count it with one hand. But here, it was at least in the hundreds. From that, you could tell the history and impact of the XiaoYao Institution as well as the TongTian Palace.

With this many rainbow mages attending the competition, only three were allowed to continue, according to what You XiaoMo heard. That was very few, about one out of a hundred chance of passing.

However, You XiaoMo wasn’t interested in the enrollment, he had no interest in entering the TongTian Palace. Also, he heard when he applied that it was voluntary, so even if he was in the top three, he could reject the offer and once he did, the fourth place would replace him, so it was not a big deal.

Of course, it was rare for something like this to happen, most people who attended the competition wished to get in.

This year there were a lot of mages from floor ninety-five and above, who also stayed for more than ten years in the Institution, some even for fifty years. They were filled with experience and powerful themselves, vastly different from the likes of him who just advanced recently.

By the time they arrived, Jiu Ye and Qiao WuXing were already there.

When You XiaoMo appeared, he saw Tian Xin, who stood behind them, waving fiercely towards him. With that excitement, anyone who didn’t know would have thought that she was the one attending the competition.

Although she wasn’t participating this time, she could watch, since this competition was held where the TongTian Palace hosted outsiders.

Having not seen each other for a year or so, You XiaoMo realized that both Jiu Ye and Qiao WuXing had improved by a lot. Both were at grade two mages, except that Jiu Ye looked to be advancing to grade three quite soon. The two had also fought a few challenger matches so they were both on the ninety-fifth floor now.

Even though they were a lower level than You XiaoMo, in the XiaoYao Institution they were already in the top percentile. If not compared with You XiaoMo, their cultivating speed was not slow by any means.
