Chapter 810: Both Selected

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er's bloodlines and attributes are fine, and they are among the best of all applicants. Getting a selection slot is, of course, a given.

The rest is just waiting for the battle showcase.

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er stay in the waiting area.

Ye Liuyun, accompanied by Su Miaoyin and Ru Yue, goes to the Zhan Tai, finds a front seat and sits down, waiting to watch the two fight.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense and Golden Pupil also scan the other Martial Cultivators who earned slots, helping Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er get an early read on the opponents' strength.

After a quick check, his Divine Sense sends a Transmission Voice to Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er.

"That woman in blue, Yin Yang Liu Chong realm, has strength comparable to Qingcheng. There's also a woman in white, Yin Yang Five Layers, whose strength is slightly weaker than Yu Er. The others are not your opponents."

"Qingcheng, if you employ illusion techniques you should defeat the opponent; the blue‑clad woman's Soul isn't very strong. Both of you probably won't need any divine artifact. Unless the opponent uses one, you shouldn't either; just ready the high‑rank treasure and that's enough."

With Ye Liuyun's information, Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er both feel much more at ease, and their mindset while watching the battles is considerably more relaxed.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also watches the Steward at the registration desk.

When he sees the Steward handling Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er's files and sending them up, the female Elders in charge of recruitment clearly light up, exchange glances, evidently interested in the two.

"Good eye!" Ye Liuyun silently praises the Elders in his mind.

Soon, registration closes. Only thirteen women in total earn slots from Ice Heart Hall.

Ye Liuyun finally relaxes. As long as Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er make no mistakes, being chosen shouldn't be a problem.

Next, everyone in the waiting area draws lots to determine the battle order.

Wu Qingcheng draws number three, fighting in the second match against number four. Yu Er draws number nine, fighting in the fifth match against number ten. Neither meets a strong opponent.

Thus the first round of battles is very easy for them.

Both eliminate their opponents with a single sword that freezes them, and the Elders on the Zhan Tai all nod in approval.

As for the two slightly stronger ones, because their realms are higher, the Elders show little expression.

Then in the second round, as if the Steward deliberately arranged it, Wu Qingcheng faces the blue‑clad woman, Yu Er faces the white‑clad woman. The remaining weaker participants fight each other.

The order remains: Wu Qingcheng goes first.

At the start, the blue‑clad woman's Ice Power erupts fully.

She had watched Wu Qingcheng's fight in the previous round, knowing she's hard to handle. So she goes all out immediately.

Wu Qingcheng also suffers now. The opponent's realm is two levels higher, and the Ice Power makes her feel bone‑chilling cold.

So she doesn't dare to delay; with a swing of her long sword, a single snow butterfly, fluttering its wings, shedding fragments of Ice Crystal, flies toward the blue‑clad woman.

At the same time, the two Yuan Dan in her body, one of which's True Essence is fully summoned, confronts the opponent.

The people beside Ye Liuyun have all cultivated Double Yuan Dan. So, given equal strength, they simply can't be out‑spent.

If the blue‑clad woman can't win quickly, she will be the one who loses.

The blue‑clad woman, seeing the snow butterflies rush, erects an ice wall, trying to keep them out.

But unexpectedly, the snow butterflies pierce the ice wall and keep charging at her.

In fact, she has already fallen under illusion.

Wu Qingcheng's illusion technique also stems from the Ice Woman's true transmission. Each snow butterfly, without touching the opponent, activates an illusion attack the moment it sheds Ice Crystal.

Everyone sees the blue‑clad woman flailing, swinging her sword wildly at the air.

And the ice wall she erected is instantly broken by Wu Qingcheng. A flood of snow butterflies surges toward her again.

This time, the snow butterflies are real, not illusion, yet she completely ignores them.

"Ice‑type illusion!" A female Elder on the Zhan Tai claps, cheering Wu Qingcheng.

"Well done! Fighting across two levels without defeat, she's a talent!" Another more composed female Elder also praises.

As soon as they finish speaking, Wu Qingcheng has already launched the final strike.

"One sword, ice seal!"

Wu Qingcheng's True Essence from one Yuan Dan erupts completely. A blast of cold freezes even the passing air, rushing to ice‑seal the blue‑clad woman.

The blue‑clad woman, now swarmed by snow butterflies, has her body frozen stiff; both her defense and attack capabilities drop sharply.

Wu Qingcheng's full‑force attack overwhelms her; she is instantly sealed as an ice statue.

"Oh dear, her True Essence must be exhausted, how will she fight next?" An Elder on the Zhan Tai can't help but exclaim.

She worries Wu Qingcheng might be defeated and lose the chance to enter the Sect.

Another Elder smiles, "Young one, after all you lack experience. It's fine; as long as we approve, we can take her in directly!"

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense continues to monitor them. Hearing this, he fully knows Wu Qingcheng is definitely fine.

Next, Yu Er takes the stage.

Although the opponent's realm is Yin Yang Five Layers, her strength is still weaker than Yu Er's. Moreover, Yu Er also employs illusion, so she wins easily.

The remaining few contestants are also selected.

To get Wu Qingcheng into the finals, a female Elder even changes the rules, allowing them to challenge freely.

The Elders think Wu Qingcheng's strength is great, so no one would dare challenge her.

By making this change, they are already favoring Wu Qingcheng.

In the end, Wu Qingcheng steps forward voluntarily and challenges a contestant.

Several watching Elders frown. Yet under everyone's eyes, they can't cheat overtly, so they decide to wait until after the match.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qingcheng shows no sign of True Essence depletion, and with another sword she freezes the opponent, completing the selection task outright.

"Haha, her True Essence is so abundant! This girl is interesting!" A female Elder actually laughs out loud.

Yu Er also instantly freezes the opponent with a single sword, needing no further fight.

Soon, everyone is cleared out by Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er; only the two remain on the field.

"Shall we have the two fight another round to see their full strength?" A female Elder, curious about who is stronger between Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er, asks.

"Forget it! Both are promising seedlings; we'll take them both! Their cultivation methods share the same origin, and they clearly know each other, so there's no need to have them fight to the death again."

Finally, the female Elder with the most authority settled the matter with a single hammer blow, bringing both people into the Sect.
