Divine Talent Born Mortal

Chapter 235: Discovering the Whole Truth 9

The elders and disciples could not see what was happening on these islands because something like this was impossible even for the strongest elders of the biggest sects to do, which was good for Zhang Yi who could use all his skills without bothering to reveal his secrets.

But Zhang Yi thought he would only be in danger if he was surrounded by hundreds of enemies and he would just have to use his qi clone technique to be able to beat all 1,000 enemies easily, so it was impossible that he needed to use all his techniques to win.

The first 10,000 disciples entered 10 different islands and after a long time only 10 disciples would leave these islands, Zhang Yi found this an interesting idea, because almost all of the disciples were between the seventh level and the ninth level of the soul refinement realm.

So not even the most talented of disciples could win if dozens of enemies who were also genius came to attack him, so what would win was not necessarily the strongest but the most capable of surviving and the most intelligent.

After the first round of the tournament ended 15 weaker disciples of the sects died, it was very little among the 10 disciples who entered, but for sects who lost the disciples, it was not a good thing.

But these disciples were all cultivated below the seventh level of the soul-refinement realm, the kind of disciples the Sword Sect elder warned the sects not to send to this tournament.

After that in the next few days, several disciples were sent to the playoffs and many died in those fights, one thing that Zhang Yi realized was that no infiltrate of the sects ever won a playoff.

It seemed that the infiltrators were still trying to stay out of sight of the Sword Sect elders so as not to be captured, Zhang Yi thought it was by being careful that the organization still existed even after so many years.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi could also see that for the most part, the most prominent disciples of the biggest sects won the qualifiers, Zhang Yi deduced that it was because the disciples of the smaller sects might fear to offend the larger sects if they defeated these disciples and for they didn't join forces.

When it was Zhang Yi's turn to participate he moved quickly and soon joined the other disciples to participate in this tournament, although Zhang Yi being quick and discreet to join the other disciples he drew the attention of almost all sects.

Only when he came close to all the disciples could all see that he was at level 1 of the soul refinement realm, that left several elders including the sects in the strongest territories shocked.

Zhang Yi was no longer at the level of a genius but with a divine talent, everyone knew that Zhang Yi must be under 60 years old and yet he had already reached the realm of soul refinement, and so the elders of the divine realm could see Zhang Yi was not even in the initial layer.

Elder Wang and Elder Lu were the only ones who knew that besides being a cultivation genius Zhang Yi still had two laws with the supreme understanding, they wanted Sword Sect to appreciate Zhang Yi more and treat him as someone special as he was.

The other sects who didn't know about Zhang Yi were still only impressed by the Sword Sect was sending someone from the first level of the soul refinement realm to fight several level 8 or 9 disciples of the same realm.

But seeing the elders' reactions from the strongest sects they realized that there was something else they didn't know, but now they would just have to wait and see what would happen, as Zhang Yi was too quick to get in after the others besides the main disciples of some sects who already knew about him the other disciples only despised him.

After a while Zhang Yi joined the other 999 disciples on one of the islands while another 9,000 disciples entered the different islands, the Sword Sect elders were calm because they had previously reported Zhang Yi defeating ninth-level disciples of the soul refinement realm in the weaker territories.

Already within the island, Zhang Yi felt the same strong influences of the space laws on this island, it seemed that the elders had done something on these islands and so Zhang Yi could not use his supreme understanding of his space laws on that island.

Zhang Yi saw that it looked like the forests in the hope world and had some rivers and waterfalls and curiously had no wild beast, Zhang Yi imagined that it would have thousands of wild beasts of soul refinement realm to further disrupt the disciples and make judgment difficult.

What he had not thought was that fighting 999 disciples to qualify was already considered too difficult by the elders of the great sects, so adding more wild beasts would only delay the tournament.

Zhang Yi first used his mental energy to see if the divine realm elders really could see anything of what was happening on this island, after he was sure Zhang Yi used his qi clones.

Zhang Yi could create up to 8 clones now and that would greatly help him in this test, with the essence of his phoenix flame he could have a warrior's attack power at the ninth void realm level, even 10 percent of the total attack his clones would have been from a void realm warrior.

An emptiness realm warrior could easily defeat a soul refinement realm genius, especially with Zhang Yi's martial laws and techniques, so using his mental energy, Zhang Yi and his clones were invisible and left by island.

Zhang Yi and his clones used their mental energy and before long they knew what the whole island looked like, also most of the disciples were found by them, the clones went quietly to attack the strongest disciples first.

Ever since Zhang Yi decided to do this he and his clones were invisible, they hid themselves using mental energy and used the divine technique to cut the stars: a blow where you swing your weapon and it hits the target, no matter how far or hidden he is as long as you can see or feel him.

So even the attacks of Zhang Yi and his clones were invisible and so quickly the number of disciples was decreasing, he avoided attacking disciples who were close to other disciples so that the attacks would not be discovered.

So within a few hours, they had less than 30 disciples on this island, because besides Zhang Yi and the clones the other disciples also fought each other and the total number of disciples decreased rapidly.

In those last 30 only 3 were strong disciples of prominent sects and the others were of smaller sects who hid or joined to the last longer, so within minutes Zhang Yi and his clones eliminated all 30 disciples and thus Zhang Yi won the first round.
