How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 533 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (36 pages)
Tens of thousands of geniuses from all walks of life have come here this time.

After a selection process, only one hundred people made it to the finals.

This is truly one in a hundred, the kind of selection chosen from among a group of geniuses.

However, one hundred people is not a small number.

The first round of the finals alone will be held over three days.

The final round was even more brutal than the preliminary rounds.

The preliminary rounds are based on accumulating wins to qualify for the finals.

However, in the final, the winner goes up and the loser goes down.

That is to say-

If someone wants to win the final championship, they can't afford to lose even once!
Faced with such terrifying pressure, the young prodigies not only did not feel afraid, but were all ambitious and eager to try.

The day of the finals has finally arrived, and Reflection Peak is bustling with people, more lively than ever before.

They all looked at the empty seats in front of them with anticipation, unable to hide their excitement.

"I heard the Continental Lord is coming today?"

"Yes, they will only come on the first day of the finals, and then they will not appear until the last day."

"That Yuanzhu from the Western Continent has also arrived. He'll most likely make an appearance today, right?"

"I've also heard about that newly emerged Lord Zhu Wen..."

"Today was truly amazing! It was worth all the hard work of getting those tickets!"

"Hehehe, I've been waiting for this day!"

"So, everyone who plays on the first day is a seeded player?"

"Yes, there are only ten matches on the first day, and most of the players who get to play are the most favored."

"What if someone has the ability to get into the top 20, but loses on the first day of the finals..."

"That's right, that's the fun of the Heavenly Pride Tournament!"

"However, there have been dark horses that have emerged in the later days of the competition in previous years. Wasn't that one last year?"

"The probability is very low. Eighty percent of the time, the winner of the Heavenly Pride Tournament is the one who performed the best on the first day."

"Any new faces this year? I know of Lu Xiu from the Lu family, Zhao Feiyun from the Zhao family, and..."

"I know a seventh grader! I heard his fighting style is extremely brutal! I don't know where he came from!"

"..."

Amidst the ongoing discussion, the audience gradually filled up.

Suddenly, a five-colored phoenix flew down from the mountains.

Wherever it goes, hundreds of birds flock to the phoenix, and colorful clouds fill the sky.

This means the Heavenly Pride Tournament is about to begin.

Everyone stood up.

"Please—the prodigies, enter!"

One hundred finalists entered the arena one after another and stood on the white jade arena in the center.

This arena is one of the magical treasures of Reflection Peak, and it is said to be able to withstand a blow from a peak Mahayana stage expert.

Using it as a competition venue for Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage cultivators is somewhat of a waste of its potential.

However, this is precisely the significance of the Heavenly Pride Tournament.

For some of the top 100 talents, what happened today may be the most glorious moment of their lives.

Many people inside were so excited that their faces were flushed, and they proudly puffed out their chests, trying not to look to the side, but they couldn't help but glance towards the stands, hoping to see familiar faces.

At this moment, a pale-faced boy standing in the front row, holding a sword, chuckled softly:
"You really haven't seen much of the world; you get excited over such a small thing."

His voice was quite loud, attracting a lot of attention.

But few dared to refute it.

They recognized the boy from his clothes—

Disciple of Jian Ge.

Sword Pavilion originated from the Eastern Continent, and the master of Sword Pavilion is the master of the Eastern Continent.

However, this sword master usually had no interest in managing the Eastern Continent; he only had eyes for his sword and was a true sword fanatic.

It seems that the higher-ups set an example for the lower-downs; almost everyone in Jian Ge is such a persistent madman.

It is said that when selecting disciples, the Sword Pavilion does not look at their physical aptitude, but only at their comprehension of swordsmanship.

Most of the people selected in this way are not quite normal. Like the Sword Master, they are completely absorbed in their swords and know nothing else.

Therefore, all affairs in the Eastern Continent were handled by the four major affiliated sects of the Sword Pavilion.

Logically, it should have been somewhat chaotic, but because the four major sects restrained each other, and the Sword Pavilion was there to keep things in check, this system gradually continued and became more and more stable, resulting in a unique prosperity.

However, the impression that Jian Ge left on people became more and more profound.

For example, the pale-faced boy in black in front of us.

Even though what he said was harsh, no one dared to refute him.

The mere fact that he is a disciple of the Sword Pavilion is enough to inspire fear in others.

Upon seeing this, the boy in black raised his chin with a touch of arrogance.

"It's so noisy..."

Chu Yi rubbed his ears in frustration and then yawned.

The boy in black hadn't expected anyone to challenge him.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Chu Yi was standing further forward than him.

This is a default rule: the earlier a position is, the more favored the Tianjiao Conference is.

The boy in black choked up for a moment for no apparent reason:
"Hey, what's your name?"

He looked at Chu Yi with hostility, clearly regarding Chu Yi as his enemy.

But Chu Yi was drowsy, arms crossed.

It was as if they hadn't heard the boy in black's question at all.

The boy in black looked around with displeasure, suppressing his barrage of questions.

He knew that important figures would be arriving soon, and that if he made a scene, he would only cause trouble.

After we go down... Hmph!

The boy in black gritted his teeth.

Not far away, Lu Xiu glanced at the two of them.

His gaze was calm and collected. He saw the black-clad youth's demeanor as childish and didn't care about him at all.

What truly caught his attention was Chu Yi, whom Lu Xiu considered his greatest enemy in the Heavenly Pride Tournament.

He had watched the first-year students' duel and witnessed firsthand how he hit the target with a single blow.

the most important is……

He saw Chu Yi and Zhu Wen walking together.

Lu Xiu lowered his eyes, his expression complex.

Just at this time.

The colorful phoenix that had been circling in the sky has flown away.

The atmosphere became solemn and serious.

Someone shouted loudly—

"The Continental Lord has arrived!"

Everyone present stood up and bowed towards the highest point directly in front of them.

"Greetings, Lord of the Continent."

It's like ink dripping onto clear water, quickly spreading into a misty, smoky shape.

Then, the shape transformed into a human silhouette, gradually becoming clearer.

A middle-aged man dressed in ordinary scholar's robes appeared in a high position.

He looked ordinary, with a gentle smile and no sharp edge.

Standing there, his presence felt like that of a stone, a leaf, a drop of water... utterly insignificant.

However, no one dared to ignore his existence.

Because he is currently recognized as the strongest being on the Five Continents, the Lord of the Central Continent—

Jing Lingchun.

"Welcome everyone to Reflection Peak today."

Jing Lingchun, the lord of Zhongzhou, smiled kindly, showing no airs of the strongest.

Countless admiring, fanatical, and reverent gazes fell upon him.

He remained unmoved, like a mountain peak.
