The experts in the stand nodded at Xia Yu’s words .

Indeed, wedding gifts was only one aspect of the Selection Ceremony . Strength mattered too .
Moreover, the wedding gifts was only an external factor, and did not speak for the ability of a person . Someone who was lucky and had no abilities could still obtain treasures that others couldn’t reach .
Many people felt that Jian Wushuang had probably lucky to get Bodhi Dan and Magic Weapon Pavilion .
In the Drill Ground, Xia Mang had recovered from his shock . A grimace remained on his face . As he glanced at Jian Wushuang, coldness emerged in his eyes .
“Jian Wushuang, I have no idea how you got the Magic Weapon Pavilion, the strength and talent competition is next . This totally depends on personal strength . I shall see how you can compete with me!”
Xia Mang had utmost confidence in his strength .
He was recognized as the first genius in the Eternal World .
He was fully deserving of the title of first Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World .
Over the years, many strong Eternal Realm experts had challenged him but lost .
Without a doubt, the strength competition was totally different from the wedding gifts competition .

From his seat in the middle of the stand, Emperor Leng looked down . “The strength and talent competition is next . As for the competition rules…”
Before Emperor Leng had finished his sentence, Dongyan Chong from Dongyan Clan in the Drill Ground took the lead . He stood outside and said respectfully, “Emperor Leng, the strength competition need not be so troublesome . ”
“Oh?” Emperor Leng glanced at Dongyan Chong .
Dongyan Chong continued gravely, “as we all know, Xia Mang is well-known as the first Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World, and also the first genius . In terms of strength, he should be the strongest . Since this Selection Ceremony aims to select the strongest person, there is no need to waste time . ”
“If anyone of us has doubts about Xia Mang’s strength, just challenge him . Anyone who defeats him wins the competition . I know very well that I can’t beat Xia Mang, so for this round of competition, I will just give up . ”
Many people around Dongyan Chong shared his sentiments .
Unlike the first round competition on wedding gifts, no suspense existed for for the second round competition on strength .
It was widely recognized that Xia Mang was the first Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World . Even other geniuses with extraodinary strength not on the same level as him .
“What do you think, Xia Mang?” Emperor Leng said as he looked down .
“I don’t mind . ” Xia Mang laughed .

“How about you?” Emperor Leng looked at Jian Wushuang, Ku Yi and others . They nodded their assent .
“So that’s it . If anyone of you has any doubts about Xia Mang’ strength, just challenge him . If not, we’ll take it that you have given up . ” Emperor Leng said .
As Emperor Leng finished his words, all the geniuses, apart from Jian Wushuang, looked in Xia Mang’s direction .
Like Dongyan Chong, more than half of them had no intention of challenging Xia Mang . The rest of them were hesitant .
Finally, a long-haired man with a saber stepped out .
This long-haired man was the personal disciple of Deep Sea Palace Master, Li Tianchou!
Li Tianchou appeared in front of Xia Mang with a cold and indifferent face and shocking killing intent .
“I have long heard that Master Mubai of Xia Clan is the first Eternal Realm in the Eternal World . It is a pity that we had no chance to meet previously . Since we have that opportunity today, we should have a good fight . Besides, since I set foot on the sixth steps of Eternal Realm thousands of years ago, I have come encountered many Eternal Realm top experts but never lost a fight . Let’s see if I’m defeated today . ” Li Tianchou said coldly .
“As you wish . ” Xia Mang said with a slight smile . There was absolute confidence in his words and behaviour . ” Just go ahead . ”
“Humph!”

Li Tianchou was very decisive . With a cold snort, he started to attack .
With a rapid wraith-like move, he leapt forward . The void before Xia Mang was suddenly broken and a strong wind swept over .
When Li Tianchou’s body appeared, the saber he had carried behind him appeared in his hand . Aggression emanated from him .
“Swish!”
A black saber shadow pierced forward .
Xia Mang had been standing quietly looking at at Li Tianchou’s slash . When the ghost-like saber shadow approached him, a faint smile showed on his lips . He slapped his hand in front of him .
This slap was as light as cloud and wind .
However, its impact had a horrible, earth-crushing power which forced Li Tianchou to retreat .
“What?”
Li Tianchou was shocked .
He had not expected his slash to be so easily blocked by Xia Mang . He stepped back, trembling .
“No wonder he is the first Eternal realm in the Eternal World . He is truly strong . In that case…”
Li Tianchou unleashed his full strength . A vast black fog surged violently upwards from his body and expanded to the surroundings . In a very short time, it had developed into a huge black ocean .
It covered most of Drill Ground and obscured Li Tianchou’s figure .
At the sight of this scene, the experts on the stand sighed . They turned and looked at a black-robed bearded old man who wore a cold expression on his face . This was Li Tianchou’s Master, the Deep Sea Palace Master .
“Deep Sea Palace Master, this disciple of yours is quite good . At such a young age, he has cultivated your unique secret skill to such a high level!”
“It seems that he has fully mastered Chapter One of Spiritual Sea Realm and carved out his own Dao . He is not far from being a Dao Master . ”
“Deep Sea, congratulations on having such a good disciple . ”
Unmoved by the praise showered on him, Deep Sea Palace Master responded with a cold snort . “My disciple’s strength is good, but compared with Xia Mang, he has a long way to go . I think that slap from Xia Mang has shown part of his own Dao . ”
“And in my opinion, that should be Creation Level Dao, but it was not perfect . ”
