X-Dragon Era-Chapter 566 - s Selection Contest_4

Apart from fame, the ultimate prize for the winner of this college competition is also a heavyweight reward. According to the promotional material provided by the academy, the victorious team will receive three Dragon Crystals!

Dragon Crystal is the name of a fruit, actually a type of apricot that is incredibly delicious. Its greatest effect is that it can instantly enhance the user's power by three stars!

Three-star strength! The benefits of this are truly astonishing. It's worth mentioning that only Martial Artists at the Dragon Crystal tier can consume this fruit, otherwise, the energy would cause them to burst. It is also only effective for Martial Artists at the Dragon Crystal tier; for those at the Purple Crystal tier, eating it would still have an effect, but it wouldn't even increase their strength by one star.

It can be said that the Dragon Crystal fruit is only meant to be used by Martial Artists at the Dragon Crystal tier, and it is most effective at that level, hence its name. As for its original name, that has been forgotten by most people.

The strength of three stars doesn't seem like much, but it's certainly not little. You should know… once one's strength reaches the Dragon Crystal tier, advancing by one star requires years. Even for those with high talent and excellent aptitude, it is very difficult to advance by three stars without more than five years of time!

With the limited time remaining before the Phantom God realm opens, Xin Yun and others do not use Dragon Crystals, so when it comes to enhancing their strength, Xin Yun has always been quite anxious. Now that such a rare opportunity has presented itself, Xin Yun would not let it slip away, not for anything.

As for the competition itself, Xin Yun wasn't too worried. Among the future Nine Great Experts, two were gathered here. As for Xin Yun, although she wasn't one of the Nine Great Experts in her previous life, things were different now. Even if she were to face the top Martial Artist of her previous life, Po Kong, Xin Yun felt she had a sixty to seventy percent chance of victory. And even if she had to step back ten thousand paces, at the very least, she could maintain a draw with Po Kong. As for defeat, that wasn't an option.

It can be said that just by looking at the current situation, Xin Yun was definitely stronger than Po Kong. As for Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, they too have changed significantly from their past life and are undoubtedly stronger than their contemporaries from before. Moreover, all three have always been engaged in team battles, and the familiarity and tacit understanding between them had reached a terrifying extent.

Of course, even though that's the case, Xin Yun doesn't believe she's guaranteed to win the championship. In this competition, the future Nine Great Experts are almost certain to make an appearance. Facing so many experts, winning the championship won't be easy.

However, it is certain that not all of the Nine Great Experts will be seen at this competition. Not to mention others, if Xin Yun's team were to participate, then Po Kong and Ming Xuan wouldn't be able to, these two being the first and third top experts in their previous life!

After picking up a registration form, Xin Yun filled in the names of their three-person team then submitted it directly. Many people are expected to register for this competition. Although Po Kong poses a challenge, you should know that for this competition, anyone at the Dragon Crystal tier or below can register. Although Po Kong is powerful, in the eyes of most, he can't defeat three peers at the same time.

Currently, Po Kong remains at the Dragon Crystal tier of strength, roughly around six stars within the tier. Such strength might indeed be top-notch in the Third-year Phase, but come the Fourth Grade Segment, by comparison, six stars don't really count for much and would be considered a mid-tier level.

It can be said that all students in the Fourth Grade Segment are at the Dragon Crystal tier and would not exceed it. Once they reach the Purple Crystal tier, they are essentially qualified to graduate. Even if they return to the academy, it's mostly to exchange experiences. The path beyond the Purple Crystal tier is one that nobody can teach, unless it aligns perfectly with their specialty, otherwise, it would only puzzle the students.

Take Xin Yun as an example; if he tried to take Yi Luo Xiang as his student, that would simply be impossible. Perhaps he could teach some basic things before reaching the Crystal Stage, but he could never impart the true essence because Xin Yun simply had no understanding of the Soul System. The saying "Professions are as different as mountains" speaks exactly to this issue.

To instruct a Purple Crystal class expert, the teacher must be at least a Diamond Stage expert and of the same Energy Series. However, the current problem is that Mountain Sea Academy only has three Diamond Stage experts openly known, and two of them are not instructors; they are the Lord of Mountain Sea City and the leader of the Tsunami Gang, who obviously cannot take on teaching duties. The only one affiliated with the academy, the Head of the Institute, stopped teaching years ago, too burdened with numerous responsibilities and lacking the energy to do so!

Therefore, although the academy has a Fifth Grade Segment, in reality, the Fourth Grade Segment is the last class; the Fifth Grade Segment is more a matter of honor and name than an actual part of the academy.

Any member of the Fourth Grade Segment who breaks through to the Purple Crystal Stage, without needing any assessment, can directly enter the Fifth Grade Segment. From that moment, they are essentially considered graduates.

But although considered graduates, everyone would not leave. They would often return here. One might wonder why. The answer is simple; even though there are no instructors to impart knowledge, the opportunity to exchange thoughts with other experts of the same series is invaluable.

Outside the academy, finding many experts of the same rank and series is incredibly difficult. Even if one finds one or two, they may not be willing to share their insights and experiences, and even if they do, one cannot easily trust such information. The path of cultivation tolerates no errors; a slight negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

However, Mountain Sea Academy is different; everyone is a classmate, and nobody would deceive another here. First, the academy does not permit it; more importantly, if you truly deceive someone, even if the academy does not intervene, would anyone else want to exchange knowledge with you? You may deceive once or twice, but from the third time onward, absolutely no one will trust you again, ever. No one dares to take a risk with their life and a trickster.

It is said that the reason the academy's grand tournament is held every thirty years is that the Crystal Fruit blooms once every ten years, bears fruit the next ten, and matures in the following ten—the effect can enhance the strength of the Crystal Stage by three stars. Therefore... any student who is still with the academy and has a glimmer of hope will not give up.

From the day registration began, in just three days' time, over a hundred teams had signed up at Mountain Sea Academy. When the week-long registration period finally ended, there were a total of one hundred and forty-one teams that had registered. However... among these one hundred and forty-one teams, only one team would ultimately represent Mountain Sea Academy in the competition!

Xin Yun had many thoughts about this tournament. The one thing that worried him the most, and the thing he anticipated the most, was his competition with Po Kong. As an academy could only send one representative team, even Po Kong, being the Head of the Institute, cannot possibly remain indifferent in the face of the Crystal Fruit.

But when Xin Yun went to check the registration list specifically, he was shocked to find that Po Kong's name was not on it. Instead, in the corner of the registration list, he found a trio consisting of Speedy Slash and Ke Zhan, as well as a person named Ka Men.

Xin Yun pondered deeply. He had assumed that Po Kong would certainly appear, but now he was nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash, whom he had not anticipated at all, had actually registered! (To be continued. If you wish to learn what happens next, please visit .
