Even for Wu Yuanhai, a Profound Heaven Sect disciple, twelve million gold coins was not a small sum.
As for the Four Great Clans taking three fifths of the slots, and even wanting to use this selection to cause the small clans and rogue cultivators outside of the Roland Pace City to fight amongst themselves and constantly exhaust themselves in order to consolidate the positions of the Four Great Clans, Wu Yuanhai didn't care at all, since there were only four people who could enter the Profound Heaven Sect in the end. As long as there were no problems with these four people, the Profound Heaven Sect would not care about the ones in front of them.
"Even if these trash enter Profound Heaven Sect, they are just meat on the chopping block. There are many geniuses in the world and Profound Heaven Sect is a beast fighting ground, this year's sudden recruitment of so many Outer Sect disciples is probably just like raising Venomous Insect s." A trace of disdain flashed in Wu Yuanhai's eyes. He muttered to himself in his heart, but his expression was normal as he toasted Minister of War and Liu Tie, calling them brothers.
The Four Great Families of Roland Pace City, which were also the Four Great Families of Yunwu Empire, were respectively the Feng Family, Fann Family, Pang Family, and Qiu Family.
The Feng family was a royal family, and with Feng Zhantian's bloodline as the representative, they held the highest authority in the Yunwu Empire.
The Fann Family, represented by Left Prime Minister and Wu Steel, controlled a large part of the construction power of the Yunwu Empire.
With Minister of War and Pang Hu as representatives, the Pang Family was in charge of a portion of the military power in the Yunwu Empire.
The Qiu Family was represented by the Minister of Finance, Qiu Tian, and held a portion of the financial authority within the Yunwu Empire.
Originally, there were still those with the surname Qi who were on par with the four great families. However, because of the death of their commander, Qi Tian, they rebelled and were annihilated by Feng Zhantian in one fell swoop. "It's true: year after year is similar, but year after year is different.
"..." Today, the central plaza of the Roland Pace City was truly filled with a sea of people. Even though Ouyang Xiaotian was considered tall among his peers, he was still submerged in an endless sea of people.
The Outer Sect selection competition was held in the center of the plaza, Ouyang Xiaotian was wrapped in a crowd, and after walking for a full two hours, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Not far from the entrance of the central square, there was a huge arena made of bluestone and a square meter in the middle. The four great families had already built a large grandstand, and Wu Yuanhai and the representatives of the four great families were all sitting there with smiles on their faces, talking to each other in a friendly manner. However, everyone could see that this smile was extremely fake.
"Feng Ruoyun? Is she here too? " Ouyang Xiaotian suddenly saw the beautiful girl sitting on the edge of the stand, but the Large White Crane was not beside her.
In the center of the plaza, the crowd was in an uproar as they discussed amongst themselves.
"I heard that our Profound Heaven Sect only accepts a hundred Outer Sect disciples this year."
"What?" A hundred Outer Sect disciples? I missed you so much. Dream on. With a hundred Outer Sect disciples, wouldn't their Profound Heaven Sect explode? "
"How many people are there?"
"Only four."
"Four? Why did you have to issue a hundred command tokens? "
"Chi!" The order badge was the stepping stone for Profound Heaven Sect. Without the order badge, you can forget about even reaching the gate of Profound Heaven Sect. Have you heard that each of the four great clans spent 200,000 gold coins on this? "The medallions outside the imperial city are all stained with blood …"
"Grandmother, this is really too dark …"
"..." Logically speaking, Ouyang Xiaotian should only be able to compete for one of the forty tokens left over. However, Feng Zhantian wanted to express his gratitude and gave Ouyang Xiaotian the Feng Family token. Ouyang Xiaotian accepted it without any hesitation.
Actually, having a badge didn't mean that one would be considered a disciple of Profound Heaven Sect. One had to go through a competition to be able to enter the Profound Heaven Sect.
About three or four people away from Feng Ruoyun were seated the three young geniuses of the Feng Family, Feng Wei Mu, Feng Wei Biao, and Feng Wei Ping.
Not far from the right side of the three young geniuses of the Feng family sat the four leopards of the Pang Black Panther Clan: Pang Black Panther, Pang Feilei Panther, Pang Little Panther, and Pang Xiao Panther.
Not far from the left side of the three young geniuses with the surname Feng, sat the three prodigies of Fann Family: Fann Kun, Fann Tao, and Fan Chao.
Not far behind the three young prodigies of the Feng family sat the fourth son of the Qiu family: Qiu Wei, Qiu Ba, Qiu Jian, and Qiu Dao.
What was worth mentioning was that most of these talented youngsters were under the age of twenty, and all of them had nearly the same level of cultivation in Brightly Lit Stage. Ouyang Xiaotian was also puzzled: Why didn't I see them at New Star Martial Arts Academy? Where did they train and improve so quickly?
After that, Ouyang Xiaotian asked Feng Ruoyun what was going on: these young geniuses had spent a huge sum of money to study in other martial arts academies.
These geniuses all had arrogant looks on their faces. They didn't place others in their eyes at all. Everyone believed that they would definitely enter the Profound Heaven Sect, and everyone believed that others would become their stepping stones.
Ouyang Xiaotian did not want to reveal his true strength before taking the exam. After all, by entering the Divine Dragon Secret Area and retreating completely, in the eyes of many, it was enough to deduce a portion of Ouyang Xiaotian's strength.
Feng Zhantian to the top experts surnamed Feng: In the preliminaries, when Ouyang Xiaotian, must pay attention, can fight, cannot fight, immediately forfeit.
The moment Feng Zhantian said this, it immediately aroused the displeasure of Feng Weijiao, one of the three young geniuses of the Feng family. He felt disdain in his heart: "Ouyang Xiaotian, hmph!" What's the big deal? Humph! Didn't he just enter the Divine Dragon Secret Area once? In my opinion, you're just a man on the soft side. I promise not to kill you, just cripple you.
Feng Weijiao was dressed in a white robe, giving off a heroic vibe. His face carried a hint of disdain: "Your Majesty, don't worry. He is the Third Princess' fiancé, I will just let him be when I meet him."
When Feng Zhantian heard this, he frowned and didn't say anything else.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"
At that moment, a male eagle flew over from the distance, circling and chirping non-stop in the sky. That eagle had a wingspan of at least eight meters. Although it was a Third Level Demon Beast, it was an Iron Feathered Hawk with astonishing defensive capabilities.
The people in the plaza all opened their mouths wide, looking at the Iron Feathered Hawk, their faces were all filled with shock, obviously afraid that it would fly down and hurt them.
Feng Wei rushed forward and was about to make his move, but he didn't expect that Qiu Ba, one of the four great warriors of the Qiu Family, would be the first to make his move.
