Aren’t Itachi inviting trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyun turned his head, a cryptic smile curling at his lips: “Old rules are boring. Look at Jiang Xia—he’s hidden his breakthrough to Wanghou Realm. Give him some publicity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the screen where Jiang Xia’s name appeared. “When Akatsuki Jin, Du Gu Yun, and the other five Wanghou cultivators show up, everyone forgets we’ve got a ruthless prodigy in our Shanhai Pass new generation who can directly clash with Wanghou cultivators across a rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Itachi want to use this competition to push Jiang Xia into the spotlight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianji instantly understood, sitting up straight. “But the risks are considerable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akatsuki Jin and the others won’t accept it. The Burning Heaven Pavilion and the Underworld won’t want some outsider overshadowing their own prodigies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s exactly what makes it interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyun set down his teacup, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. “Shanhai Pass’s fortune is reviving, and the Shanhai Cataclysm grows worse by the day—we must select true pillars of strength early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid Jiang Xia has ties to the Literary Dao Academy, the Night Watchers, and the Demon-Suppressing Army—all three official factions—but hasn’t clearly pledged to any major clan. He’s perfect as a standard-bearer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added, “Besides, don’t Itachi find it amusing to watch Akatsuki Jin suffer a setback?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianji blinked, then burst out laughing. “Itachi’ve already planned everything—I just need to execute it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, how will Itachi set the competition rules? There are only six Wanghou cultivators—can’t have them fighting alongside Wu Zong cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two divisions: preliminary rounds are mixed, top ten advance; then the top ten are split into upper and lower brackets. All Wanghou cultivators automatically qualify for the quarterfinals; the remaining slots are contested by Wu Zong peak cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final match will be decided purely by strength, regardless of realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyun pulled out a pre-drafted proposal. “The rewards must be substantial—the champion gets an SS-class magic treasure outright, plus a Celestial Mechanism Pavilion Black Card. That’ll make them fight to the death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianji took the proposal, glanced at it: “Itachi’re going all-in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I’ll notify the Demon-Suppressing Army and all factions immediately. Three days from now, at the central arena of Tianmen Pass—we’ll have a grand spectacle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Jiang Xia’s breakthrough to Wanghou Realm, amplified by the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion, swept across Shanhai Pass like a storm, causing massive upheaval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zong peak defeating Wanghou Cui Jue was already a miracle; now that Jiang Xia had officially entered the Wanghou Realm, no one could predict the extent of his transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia, secluded in secret cultivation, was utterly bewildered—he’d been training peacefully, so who the hell had opened his account?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That same day, the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion issued an official announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【To counter the escalating threat of demonic beasts and to reestablish the power structure among the younger generation, we will jointly host with all top factions of the Three Passes the Three Passes Prodigy Competition, open to all prodigies.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The results of this competition will serve as the core basis for updating the Prodigy Rankings, and also function as the most critical prelude and evaluation before the training camp’s graduation assessment.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcement sent the Three Passes into uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every prodigy seeking fame, glory, or a chance to test their cultivation base sharpened their blades, ready to shine at this grand event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, the central arena of Tianmen Pass was packed to capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This modern venue, capable of holding one hundred thousand spectators, featured a retractable transparent roof, and its fighting platform was paved with special alloy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant electronic screens surrounding the arena scrolled the competition roster and rules; below, the audience seats blended military uniforms of the Demon-Suppressing Army, clan attire, and casual garb of lone cultivators, the air thick with clamorous chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard this competition will redraw the Prodigy Rankings! Brother Akatsuki Jin will still be number one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple of the Burning Heaven Pavilion waved a red flag and shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily—he was only Wu Zong early when he tied with Jiang Xia last time. Now Jiang Xia’s broken into Wanghou!” someone countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if he’s Wanghou? Akatsuki Jin was the first to break through—he controls his laws far more skillfully than Jiang Xia!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the VIP section of the stands, Lei Zhan, Su Muxue, and other training camp instructors sat in the front row; Ye Lingxi was lowering her head, adjusting the communicator on her wrist to contact Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingxi, don’t worry—Old Jiang’s got too many tricks up his sleeve. He’ll be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng patted her shoulder, but nervously rubbed his hands together. “Still, I’ve got to perform well in the preliminaries—make it into the top ten, or we’ll shame the Literary Dao Academy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian chuckled: “Relax—I’ll block a few strong opponents for Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shichen adjusted his glasses, eyes fixed on the electronic screen’s participant list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are over thirty Wu Zong peak cultivators competing—Zhou Hao from the Martial Alliance, Qin Wushang from the Underworld, Su Wan from the Su Clan—all dangerous. We must tread carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the arena lights abruptly dimmed, and a deep voice boomed through the speakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three Passes Prodigy Competition! I am your host, Li Rui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience fell silent as a middle-aged man in a Major General’s uniform stepped onto the podium—it was Li Rui, commander of Training Camp Group A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This competition is co-hosted by the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion and the Demon-Suppressing Army, with support from all major factions of the Three Passes, aiming to select the new generation of Shanhai Pass’s strongest warriors to jointly resist the coming demonic beast tide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui’s voice rang with power: “I now declare the preliminary rounds officially open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, the alloy floor at the arena’s center slowly split open, revealing dozens of small fighting platforms, each encased in transparent energy shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Preliminary rules: random pairings, one-on-one elimination. Winners advance until the top ten are decided! Now, the pairings are announced!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The electronic screen instantly refreshed with the pairings—Wang Teng’s name appeared in Group One; others received their opponents; Jiang Xia, however, was assigned to Group Last, granted a bye straight to the Round of 32.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, Old Jiang got a bye!” Wang Teng stared at the list, envious. “Unfair! Why do I have to fight a Wu Zong late-stage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi rolled her eyes. “If Itachi had Jiang Xia’s strength, Itachi’d get a bye too. Get up there—don’t be late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng grumbled, picked up his Soul-Eating Scythe, and stepped onto the Group One fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent was a burly, broad-faced man wielding a massive axe. He sneered at Wang Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi, little fat boy? Itachi dare enter this competition? Just surrender now, or I’ll hurt Itachi when I strike!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi don’t even know who the backbone of this training camp is!” Wang Teng sneered, swinging his Soul-Eating Scythe—black death energy spread outward. “Today, Itachi’ll witness the might of Fat Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, playing at sorcery!” The giant roared, swinging his axe with a whistling wind toward Wang Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng dodged nimbly, muttering incantations: “Secret Spell of Fengdu: Hundred Ghosts Marching at Night!” Countless spectral shadows surged from behind him, lunging at the giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant’s face paled—he frantically swung his axe to block, but the ghosts were too numerous, quickly entangling his limbs. Wang Teng seized the opening, sweeping his Soul-Eating Scythe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jet-black blade aura slashed toward the giant’s back—he screamed, crashing heavily onto the platform, defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Group One: Wang Teng wins!” the referee announced loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ea9ecf8f30df35b774eaed39da337d5e1542b2af1fa5662a14161ce802e334c8","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-93","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-91",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
