Only My Way

Somewhere hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the [White Mist Country].

Compared to the [White Mist Country], which is located in the southern region of the [Golden岚Continent], with its actual geographical location close to the sea and only a few countries away from the coastline in a straight line.

This place is already the central area of the [Golden岚Continent].

It is also one of the most concentrated areas of experts on the entire continent.

For example, the headquarters of the [News Report] is located here.

And those most powerful forces in this central region.

Today.

As the [News Report] began to vigorously promote Ling Wuyuan, it was inevitable that he successfully caught their attention.

—

Looking at the news article on the [News Report] in his hand.

Especially those contents in the [National Notice Board].

As the [Imperial Lord] of the [Crimson Forest Dynasty], a man named Nie Qingdao, couldn't help but slowly stroke his deliberately grown beard.

Especially when he noticed Ling Wuyuan's origins, his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

After all, that was a force that hadn't appeared in his eyes for a long, long time—[Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion]!

'The last time I heard about [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] seems to have been seven or eight hundred years ago...'

'I didn't expect that group of women to suddenly make such a commotion...'

'...However, doesn't [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] only accept women...? Why is there a man...? '

'Could it be that they suddenly changed the rules?'

Thinking of this.

In his eyes.

A large amount of contemplation and doubt could not help but emerge.

Even the hand that was stroking his beard exerted a little force.

It can only be said that he was indeed genuinely puzzled by the sudden appearance of a man in the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion].

As one of the insiders who knew the true origins of the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion].

He knew very well that, in theory, this should be a situation that should never have occurred...

So he was very puzzled by the real cause of this situation, suspecting that there was some special hidden secret.

Then.

When his gaze successfully saw that very long list of defeated opponents, his gaze became even more solemn.

Although those so-called geniuses who were defeated by Ling Wuyuan.

In his opinion, were just so-so.

Belonging to a group of country bumpkins from remote areas.

But, no matter what, those guys were mostly rising stars from various forces.

Their strength was definitely a bit real, not completely inflated.

To put it bluntly, even if it was just a [Member of the Outstanding Talents List] from an ordinary country, as long as the other party could successfully stand out by stepping on the heads of countless peers, they should still be in a state where a dilapidated ship still has three pounds of nails, and they would have some hidden abilities...

However.

Ling Wuyuan was able to defeat them all unscathed in a gauntlet match...

Such brilliant achievements.

Even Nie Qingdao had to take it seriously.

He knew his own business. To be honest, back then... he probably didn't have this ability.

Although the cultivation techniques he possessed were definitely better than those on that list, and the various cultivation resources he enjoyed were definitely better than those people.

But the saying that many ants can kill an elephant is not just for fun.

Finally.

After pondering silently for a while.

Nie Qingdao asked several people standing straight beside him with a very serious expression:

"When you were in the [Nascent Origin Realm], did you have the ability to defeat thousands of [Nascent Origin Realm] cultivators unscathed in a gauntlet match?"

Hearing this.

One of them, after recalling it seriously with a troubled expression, immediately replied frankly:

"Reporting to Father Emperor."

"If I really want this son to do that unscathed... I can only hope that all the thousands of [Nascent Origin Realm] cultivators are of the weaker type among the same level."

"Under the condition of limiting the target's strength."

"This son thinks that winning shouldn't be too difficult, as long as I time it well and can continuously recover my physical strength and true energy, then things should be fine."

"But... if those opponents are all quite strong guys among the same level and they are all very motivated... then this son feels that things shouldn't work. Don't even mention being unscathed, even if I just want to successfully fight to the end, this son doesn't think it's possible..."

"After all, if the opponent's strength is okay and they are very motivated, even if their basic hard strength is far inferior to this son, it is not difficult to temporarily burst out power far exceeding the normal state to forcibly consume this son."

"At that time, as long as there are too many opponents, this son has no confidence in being able to solve them unscathed, and may even be defeated due to excessive consumption."

The speaker was one of Nie Qingdao's many children, whose strength and talent were considered quite good.

If he couldn't do it, it directly meant that most of Nie Qingdao's children couldn't do it.

And Nie Qingdao quite agreed with his statement.

As long as the number of opponents increased.

Even those opponents whose strength was neither strong nor weak and could be easily defeated could completely exchange injuries with him by temporarily bursting out of their normal limits...

In this way.

As long as his physical strength and true energy were almost exhausted.

Then, as the person being subjected to the gauntlet match, injury and even defeat would be unavoidable.

After thinking about it.

Nie Qingdao turned his gaze to the one among his many children with the most outstanding talent.

Although the other party's strength was still only at the [Nascent Origin Realm], far inferior to some of his older brothers whose strength had already reached the [Spirit Nurturing Realm] and were approaching the [Clarity of Intent Realm], but in terms of talent alone, the other party was indeed the best.

"Pei Chang, what about you?"

"As someone of the same level as that Ling Wuyuan, do you have the ability to do something similar?"

The prince who was named by him also replied with a troubled expression:

"Reporting to Father Emperor, this son has fought against the [Members of the Outstanding Talents List] from those small countries before."

"Although their strength is much weaker than our [Members of the Outstanding Talents List], generally speaking, they still have some skills..."

"If the thousands of challengers that Ling Wuyuan faced were all of that level, this son has no confidence at all..."

"Even though this son believes that his talent is not weak, and he has mastered the imperial family's cultivation inheritance, his strength is far stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level."

"But they are not clay figures after all..."

"Under the same level, this son can handle fighting dozens or hundreds of them in a gauntlet match, but fighting thousands of them... that's really impossible..."

"Of course, according to the actual situation of that Ling Wuyuan."

"A large part of the opponents he faced must be duds, it's impossible for all thousands of them to be of that level."

"However, even so, this son still has no confidence."

"Wanting to experience a gauntlet match of thousands of same-level cultivators in three days, and then win completely unscathed... things are a bit beyond common sense after all!"
