Open up and break into another world

Swish!

Zheng Qi stepped forward.

"Zheng Qi?" Li Xiujie curled his lips into a sneer. "Who's this nobody?"

In terms of cultivation, Zheng Qi, who was only at the early stage of King-level, was indeed not worth mentioning. But one must know that the talent assessment didn't look at cultivation at all, only age!

So what if his cultivation was low?

Zheng Qi calmly stood before the Mirror of Time. The Mirror of Time quickly revealed his true age: 1.12 million years!

Only a little over a million years old, much younger than Li Xiujie!

"What? So young?" Li Xiujie was stunned.

The other Dominator-level experts were also somewhat surprised, thinking to themselves, "This Zheng Qi will definitely advance to the third stage of the martial arts tournament! I really didn't expect… a King-level early stage cultivator would advance to the third stage!"

"It seems the Holy Emperor City Lord's martial arts tournament assessment has loopholes! Otherwise, how could a King-level early stage cultivator advance to the third stage?"

…

Amidst the discussions of the Dominator-level experts, one genius after another stepped onto the stage to accept the Mirror of Time's test.

2.3 million years!

4.6 million years!

4.2 million years!

…

The ages of the geniuses were displayed on the Mirror of Time.

Seven geniuses in a row were actually younger than Li Xiujie.

Li Xiujie watched with trepidation: "Could it be… that ten geniuses are younger than me?"

If that were the case, then Li Xiujie would not be able to advance to the third stage of the martial arts tournament and would have to stop at the second stage.

Fortunately, after these seven geniuses, the geniuses who came on stage next were all "older" than Li Xiujie.

Li Xiujie breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

Xu Ming, on the other hand, felt somewhat regretful: "I had guessed that the talent assessment might be about comparing 'youth'; therefore, I specifically selected the ten youngest geniuses and brought them to the second stage! If there were nine geniuses younger than Li Xiujie, then, together with myself, I could have monopolized the ten winning spots in the talent assessment! What a pity… now there are only seven geniuses younger than Li Xiujie!"

So annoying!

He wanted to monopolize the winning spots in the second stage, but he still couldn't squeeze out Li Xiujie.

Although Xu Ming was very confident that he could crush Li Xiujie in the upcoming third stage "background assessment" and the final "betrothal gifts," having Li Xiujie around was still a variable!

And Xu Ming didn't want to see this variable!

After one genius after another finished testing, only Xu Ming remained.

"Why hasn't Xu Ming gone on stage yet?"

"That's right! I've been waiting for him for ages! What's so interesting about seeing the ages of other geniuses? The main event is Xu Ming!"

"Could it be that Xu Ming knows he can't advance to the third stage, so he doesn't dare to go up and test his age?"

"Very likely!"

"Heh! Is there any use in not daring to go on stage? He still has to go up in the end! Dragging things out is just embarrassing!"

Not daring to go on stage?

Dragging things out?

Xu Ming turned a deaf ear to these harsh and ignorant comments.

How would these ignorant Dominator-level experts know that the more important the person, the more they appear last! Those who rush to go up first like Li Xiujie are usually just clowns.

Xu Ming stood before the Mirror of Time.

The scene instantly quieted down.

Every Dominator-level expert and every genius held their breath, anticipating Xu Ming's cultivation.

"How many years has Xu Ming experienced since coming here from the Microcosm?" Yin Ran watched expectantly and nervously beside the water screen image.

Obviously, Yin Ran also believed that it was impossible for Xu Ming to have undergone such a huge transformation in just a hundred years; Xu Ming must have entered a secret realm with chaotic spacetime to be able to cultivate so quickly.

However, Yin Ran believed that even if Xu Ming had entered a chaotic secret realm, his age would definitely not be greater than Li Xiujie's!

"Xu Ming will definitely win the talent assessment!" Yin Ran's gaze was extremely firm.

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

However, amidst this certainty, there was also a hint of worry—even if Xu Ming successfully passed the talent assessment, what would he use to compare with Li Xiujie in the next "background assessment"?

With the Li family's foundation in the Divine Domain, below the level of Saints, probably few forces would dare to say they could steadily surpass the Li family!

Xu Ming came from a Microcosm, so what would he use to compare backgrounds with Li Xiujie?

Although Yin Ran was worried, she still looked forward to it: "Let's go as far as we can! If Xu Ming isn't the final winner…"

A "Fate Termination Talisman" lay quietly in Yin Ran's world ring.

When the order of fate is terminated, life will naturally come to an end.

…

Xu Ming stood before the Mirror of Time. His true age gradually appeared on the Mirror of Time: zero ten thousand years!

There were only these three words: "Zero Ten Thousand Years!"

"Huh?"

Holy Emperor City Lord, Old Bai, Cloud Dominator, Time-Space Palace Master, Li Family Master, Ancestor Yi Quasi-Saint… every Dominator-level expert was stunned when they saw the three words "Zero Ten Thousand Years" appearing on the Mirror of Time.

Zero Ten Thousand Years?

What does this mean?

Why would it display "Zero Ten Thousand Years"?

For a time, the minds of every Dominator-level expert couldn't process it. After all, they had never seen the words "Zero Ten Thousand Years" appear on the Mirror of Time.

"Could it be that the Mirror of Time is broken?" every Dominator couldn't help but think.

But can the Mirror of Time even break? Unheard of!

It seems that in the Divine Domain, no one has ever heard of the Mirror of Time breaking!

But if the Mirror of Time isn't broken, then what's going on with these three words "Zero Ten Thousand Years"?

Suddenly, Cloud Dominator said, "I remember that sometimes, the lowest-grade 'Hundred Million Year' Mirror of Time will display the words 'Zero Hundred Million Years'! What do you say…"

A Hundred Million Year Mirror of Time measures age accurately to "hundred million years."

If the age is less than "one hundred million years," then it will display "Zero Hundred Million Years"! This situation is quite common in the Divine Domain!

But… the matter of "Zero Ten Thousand Years" has really never happened in the Divine Domain!

"Could it be… that Xu Ming's age is less than ten thousand years?" Many experts couldn't help but have such a thought.

But immediately, they all felt it was impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Xu Ming possesses the battle strength of a "Dominator-level," how could his age be less than ten thousand years? Even many demigods, and even weaker Dao Lords and Dao Venerables, are far more than ten thousand years old, right?

Xu Ming's age is less than ten thousand years?

The Dominator-level experts would rather believe: the Mirror of Time is really broken!

"That's right! The Mirror of Time must be broken!"
