Chapter 917

He was just a spectator, a figurehead.

Letting the Eight Treasures Pavilion show off its deep foundation!

Every year, geniuses from the Central Region leave the Central Region and enter powerful countries on the fierce beast front line to strive for the slim chance of becoming God-level Beastmasters.

Su Yang felt that this could be completely viewed as the siphon effect of the great empires on talent.

There were two ways to enter a great empire.

One was to cross the border directly and arrive at the Great Jin Empire.

The other was through the recommendation of the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

The Eight Treasures Pavilion could be considered an peripheral organization of the Great Jin Empire.

Every five years, they would send a batch of geniuses to join the Great Jin Empire.

The difference in treatment between the two ways of entering the Great Jin Empire was huge.

Among the many powerful forces on the fierce beast front line, the most powerful were, of course, the several great empires.

Beastmasters who entered the Great Jin Empire directly had no background or backing and could only start from the bottom.

If they didn't join any organization or force, they would only be bullied everywhere!

If the organization or force they joined wasn't powerful enough, the benefits wouldn't be too great, and they might even become hired thugs!

There were also some organizations and noble families that were inherently exclusionary.

They trusted blood relatives more!

All things considered, only joining the empire directly was the most promising path.

As the most powerful force, the empire not only possessed the richest resources but also had a relatively transparent military merit system.

As long as one had strength, the opportunities to get ahead were much greater than in other forces!

Without the recommendation of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, Beastmasters from the Central Region with "unknown identities" who joined the Great Jin Empire could only start from the bottom.

But once they had the audit and recommendation of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, their joining the Great Jin would be immediately taken seriously.

Their starting point would be much higher than that of rogue Beastmasters!

In addition, the first-place winner recommended by the Eight Treasures Pavilion each time could also receive a God-level beast egg rewarded by the Great Jin Empire!

Occasionally, the Great Jin Empire would also give a God-level beast egg to the second or even third place recommended by the Eight Treasures Pavilion; although the probability was relatively low, it had happened before.

The Great Jin Empire was willing to give these genius Beastmasters from the Central Region more opportunities.

These were all tangible benefits!

Therefore, every five years, as long as the Eight Treasures Pavilion issued invitation letters, young geniuses who aspired to join the Great Jin Empire and become God-level Beastmasters would flock to it!

When Su Yang, Xia Na, and Yun Yun Shuying arrived at the venue, the vast majority of people had already arrived.

There were three elders from the Eight Treasures Pavilion, as well as a hundred geniuses from the Eight Treasures Pavilion's sphere of influence in the Central Region!

Elder Long did not appear; he must have been busy with other things!

The person presiding over this conference was Elder Jian, who sat at the head of the venue.

Seeing Su Yang, Elder Jian greeted him with a smile and pointed to the empty seat on his left.

"Elder Chen Feng, you sit next to Elder Jian!" Yun Yun Shuying reminded, "Nana, you sit next to your master, and I'll sit with you!"

"Okay!"

Sitting next to Elder Jian, someone immediately served tea and snacks for Su Yang.

Su Yang looked down at the hundred geniuses on the stage and sensed their strength slightly.

Most were Emperor-level Peak-grade Beastmasters, a small number were Emperor-level High-grade, and there were only a few Emperor-level Mid-grade Beastmasters.

However, these hundred Emperor-level Beastmasters organized together were already very powerful!

They could easily crush a country without God-level Beastmasters.

If they encountered a relatively weak God-level Beastmaster, they might have a chance to fight to a draw, and there was a certain probability of winning at the cost of heavy casualties!

Of course, this was a low-probability event.

A God-level Low-grade pet beast could deal with hundreds of Emperor-level Peak-grade pet beasts!

Elder Jian asked with a smile: "How are these geniuses?"

"They're all quite good!"

Su Yang nodded in approval.

This was the honest truth.

Don't look at the fact that Su Yang was a God-level Beastmaster and had killed two God-level Mid-grade powerhouses!

But he was still relatively humble.

Su Yang, who started with cheats, could never get arrogant.

"How do they compare to your Liu Na?"

"They can't compare to Nana; at the very least, they are all older than Liu Na!"

Elder Jian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xia Na, his face full of kindness.

Since Su Yang said so, he felt that it was quite good that the Magic Flame Black Dragon had fallen into Liu Na's hands!

Geniuses should enjoy the best resources!

"It's about time!"

Elder Jian reminded.

Yun Yun Shuying nodded with a smile, stood up from her seat, and said loudly: "Geniuses from the Central Region, today is the Eight Treasures Pavilion's quinquennial Central Region Genius Selection Conference..."

Su Yang drank tea and listened leisurely to Yun Yun Shuying presiding over the conference.

After three minutes, seeing that Yun Yun Shuying was still talking, Su Yang gradually felt—it had that vibe!

Back in school, weren't school leaders like this?

But the good thing was that the Emperor-level Beastmasters off-stage had plenty of stamina.

And he was sitting on the stage...

Twenty minutes later, Yun Yun Shuying reached the end of her speech and began to introduce the Eight Treasures Pavilion elders present to the geniuses off-stage...

Su Yang was placed second to last.

"This is Elder Chen Feng of the Eight Treasures Pavilion. He once entered the Great Jin Empire single-handedly, fought on the front line for over two thousand years, recently returned to the Central Region, and in a short period of time, personally killed two God-level Mid-grade elders of the Divine Dragon Business Alliance. His combat power is extraordinary..."

Su Yang followed by standing up from his seat and nodding to the crowd off-stage.

"I hope that after you all join the Great Jin Empire, you can also be like Elder Chen Feng..."

Seeing the countless fiery gazes off-stage, Su Yang didn't expect that he would become a role model!

"He is that Elder Chen Feng?"

"I heard my father say that Elder Chen Feng is quite amazing. Even though he only has God-level Low-grade Beastmaster strength, he can kill the Black Wing Elder and Spirit Elder of the Eight Treasures Pavilion. He will definitely be able to become a God-level Mid-grade Beastmaster in the future!"

"My dream is to become a God-level Beastmaster!"

"Are the Beastmasters of the Great Jin Empire really that strong?"

"..."

Finally, Yun Yun Shuying introduced Elder Jian to everyone.

Elder Jian was a veteran of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, and Yun Yun Shuying used a passionate tone to talk for a full ten minutes about Elder Jian's glorious deeds...

On this point, Su Yang absolutely had to express his admiration.

Elder Jian asked: "Elder Chen Feng, are you interested in saying a few words?"

Su Yang waved his hand and refused: "Let's forget it!"

He wasn't interested in this!

After Elder Jian spoke for half an hour, the final semi-finals finally began!

The first match of the semi-finals was Chen Chen Yiyang from the Black Star Country versus Xu Yu Chenghai from the Wuyun Country.

The Black Star Country was known as an empire.

But when Chen Chen Yiyang introduced himself, he directly called himself from the Black Star Country!

He probably wasn't even embarrassed to call it an empire!

The several elders of the Eight Treasures Pavilion sitting in the stands stood up and moved into mid-air to find a more suitable position to watch the battle.

Su Yang and Xia Na gathered in one place, and Yun Yun Shuying also stood next to them, not far from the other elders.

"The geniuses of your Wuyun Country are quite good!" Su Yang looked at Xu Yu Chenghai and said, "Elder Yun, is this Xu Yu Chenghai a relative of yours?"

Yun Yun Shuying laughed: "He has some kinship with our Yun family. The Xu family is also a top family in Wuyun Country and often intermarries with our Yun family. If we go by seniority, he should call me great-grandmother..."
