Chapter 390: Chapter 390 - Sacred Light Baptism! Primordial Desolate Crystal!

There was a long pause.

Anderson crawled out of the hole in the ground.

He looked dejected.

“You old man, you only know how to be stubborn!”

“Anyone with eyes knows that the Heavenly Talents Tournament this time is targeted at our An family!”

“Wait for the head of the Mei family. That old fellow Mei Long will put a knife to your neck. Let’s see if you can still be stubborn!”

Anderson looked at his father, who could not be helped, and felt disappointed.

Chu Feng asked curiously, “What’s the Heavenly Talents Tournament?”

This was the first time Chu Feng had heard of this.

He had never encountered one in his previous life.

He was curious.

Anderson sighed and said, “Actually, it’s a competition among young geniuses within the Revolutionary Army.”

“Of course, although it’s called a martial arts competition, in reality, it’s a reshuffling of the power within the Revolutionary Army.”

“It might be a little too much to say that it’s a reshuffle, but this competition does affect the ownership of the three council seats.”

“You should know that within the Revolutionary Army, the Council of Ten Thousand Races is the highest authority. It has the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and the sixteen Councilors, who jointly control the entire Revolutionary Army.

“Among them, there are three large tribes that occupy the absolute dominant position.

“The Moonlight Elves, led by the Yue Family, hold the seats of six Councilors.

“The White Elves, led by the Mei family, occupy the seats of five Councilors.

“The Beast Alliance, which consist of lions, werewolves, and leopards, occupy three council seats.

“In addition, there are also dwarves with special statuses who stand aloof from worldly affairs. They are few in number, but all of them are forging masters and they also occupy a seat.

“Lastly, my An family is actually also a White Elf race, although we are always ostracized.

“Within the Revolutionary Army, there are countless tribes, but there are only sixteen council members. Each of them represents a massive amount of cultivation resources. It is unknown how many pairs of eyes are staring at them.

“But how could the other tribes be willing to let the seats be divided up by the three great tribes?

“Therefore, in order to balance the various parties and also to encourage the various races to spare no effort in nurturing new forces, the Chairman stipulated that every five years, the three great forces must each take out a seat for the various races to fight for!

“If you win, this position will be yours. No one can take it away from you within five years!

“Moreover, in order to control the intensity of the battle and not turn it into an internal strife of the Revolutionary Army, they let the young geniuses of the various races fight for it!

“This is the origin of the Heavenly Talents Tournament.

“It can also be considered as giving the various races hope!

“In order to fight for or protect this seat, all the tribes will spare no effort to nurture the next generation. This is also the key to the continuous emergence of experts by the Revolutionary Army.”

Anderson said slowly.

He explained the Heavenly Talents Tournament thoroughly.

However, Chu Feng still frowned in confusion.

“Then what does this competition have to do with your An family? According to you, your An family has already been expelled from the three great forces?”

Anderson sighed.

“But… we’re still White Elves! In fact, our An family was once the leader of the White Elves! It’s only because of what the old man did previously that we were pushed out.

“Therefore, in everyone’s eyes, we are still the forces of the White Elves!

“There is no need to guess. This time, the Mei family will definitely take out the An family seat for the various races to compete for.

“This move will not only take advantage of the opportunity to weaken the An family, but if they play it well, such as finding a powerful external aid, they can even take the An family’s seat. It is killing two birds with one stone!

“As for the other races… They don’t care where this seat came from.”

This was the reason why Anderson was helpless.

Because of this rule of five-year competitions, their An family was almost destined to be the sacrificed party.

He could only blame himself for being weak. If his Big Brother was still around, so what if the seats were taken? Who would be his Big Brother’s match?

Unfortunately, he had only broken through to the A+ rank for a short period of time. However, as an early-stage A+ rank, he had no hope of squeezing into the top three.

In other words, the An family was destined to lose their seat as a councilor!

In addition, the old man was not helpful. Perhaps one day, the huge An family would be gone.

Anderson couldn’t help but sigh.

“Sigh, I did find external help for a high-level A+ rank, but I don’t think it will work. The top three in the previous batches were almost all peak A+ ranks. There were even very few geniuses who could reach the terrifying level of the ultimate A+ rank. They are simply inhuman!”

“I heard that the boss of the Mei family is in seclusion to break through to the A+ rank. I wonder if he succeeded. If he succeeds and he targets us again, fine, what’s the point of competing…”

Anderson had a worried expression on his face. He could not help but glance at Chu Feng.

“Sigh, Brother Chu, if only you were also an A+ rank. With the talent you displayed previously, the three of us might have a chance to compete if we join forces. Unfortunately… You’re only a C-rank…”

Hearing those words, Chu Feng merely pursed his lips.

Although he was really a C-rank, if he were to reveal his true strength, he would definitely scare Anderson to death.

However, Chu Feng was truly not interested in this competition.

In his opinion, this was no different from a bunch of brats playing house.

If he were to compete with a group of A+ ranks, wouldn’t he be bullying them?

Furthermore, Chu Feng felt that Anderson was being too pessimistic.

Your old man is actually very strong.

Even if your family loses its seat as a Councilor, no one can do anything to you.

Thus, Chu Feng did not have to make a name for himself.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Furthermore, he really did not want to complicate matters.

Chu Feng came here only because he wanted to use the power of the Revolutionary Army to confuse the situation at the Ancient Desolate Tower so that he could take advantage of the situation.

Otherwise, with a group of Demon Venerables there, there was no way to cause trouble.

As for participating in the competition, it was completely not on his agenda.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to speak.

And at that moment, suddenly, Brook hurried in with a circular in his hand, as if he had received some news.

“Lord Anderson, the reward for this competition is out!”

Anderson waved his hand weakly.

“Put it there.”

Anyway, Anderson felt that it had nothing to do with him.

He was in no mood to read.

As for Chu Feng, he opened the notice with interest and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

“The reward is quite generous.”

“Other than the top three being linked to the seats of the Councilors, the top ten can all receive a baptism of holy light from the Temple of Marvels.”

Chu Feng had heard of the baptism of holy light in his previous life.

This was an opportunity unique to the Temple of Marvels.

It was said that it could cleanse all filth from living beings.

It was even said that during the baptism process, living beings would remove the impurities in their bodies and break through to a higher realm.

This was definitely a great opportunity.

Unfortunately, this was an extremely precious resource within the Revolutionary Army. Chu Feng had never enjoyed it in his previous life.

Of course, if that was the case, although Chu Feng was envious, he would not go crazy.

However, when Chu Feng saw the picture of an abnormally beautiful prismatic crystal on the notice, he was suddenly stunned.

He couldn’t help but growl.

“Is this… a Primordial Desolate Crystal?”
