d the Nascent Soul stage.This combination immediately caused a stir among the crowd."My goodness, the Lingxiao Academy has been quiet for so many years. When did it start recruiting so many stunning f...On the royal team's side, Song Yaoyi gave Ye Bufan a cold look.

She now utterly loathes this man, and if she could directly get Lingxiao Academy kicked out of the competition, it would undoubtedly be a very satisfying thing to do.

On the viewing platform, Hua Ziyue's face, which had originally been solemn, changed.

She naturally understood the importance of the newcomer ranking match to Ye Bufan, and she also knew that Song Jian's actions were aimed at him. In this situation, she naturally couldn't let the conspiracy succeed.

"Prince Anshun, this isn't right!"

Hua Zi Yue said, "Newcomer ranked matches are all about strength, and have nothing to do with gender."

"Therefore, I think this is not appropriate and there should not be restrictions based on gender."

Now that the number of participants has been changed to six, although she is very anxious about this, there's not much she can say. After all, the quota changes have already been made, and all she can do is try her best to help Ye Bufan in terms of gender allocation.

Song Jian smiled faintly, as if he had been prepared for her opposition.

The Empress pays no attention to military affairs and naturally has no knowledge of the newcomer ranking tournament and its impact on the Tianfeng Empire.

Those who defend their home and country are iron men. If there are too many women in ranked matches, it will naturally have a negative impact.

As the commander of the three armies, I feel it's necessary to make such a restriction, otherwise, in the end, all the contestants would be women, which would inevitably affect the morale of our troops in safeguarding the country.

"This..."

Hua Ziyue inwardly cursed him as a cunning old fox. The other party directly linked the contestants' personnel arrangements to defending the family and the country, instantly shutting her up as the Empress.

Now, the overall manager of the entire competition is Song Jian, and she's not in a position to forcefully change the rules.

In other words, if it were really changed, it would probably cause immediate resentment among the troops.

At that time, it will be very detrimental to the young emperor's rule of the throne. It can be said that the other party's counterattack is really too sharp.

I originally thought that as long as I appointed Zheng Sanbao as the referee, the other party wouldn't be able to do anything. Unexpectedly, they came up with this tactic and caught me completely off guard.

Since the Empress Dowager has no objections, that settles it.

Song Jian smiled triumphantly and turned to look at the Lingxiao Academy side, "No need for lengthy introductions, now let's begin the qualification audit for the competition..."

Seeing all this, Feng Xingkong laughed even more happily. Even the Empress Dowager's words were useless. It seemed that Ye Bufan was destined to leave in a dismal manner this time.

The first to take the stage was the royal side, led by Song Ya Ji who was at the peak of the Divine Transformation period. The other five were two at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm and three also at the peak of the Divine Transformation realm.

This strength is considered extremely powerful overall. If it were before, even the Cangfeng Academy would be far inferior.

But now the Cangfeng Academy has brought in reinforcements. When everyone stepped onto the stage, they immediately caused an uproar.

The young man at the front was clearly in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, while the other two men and one woman were all in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm.

The remaining Feng Tianxiang is at the initial stage of the Refining Void Realm, while Fan Xiaofeng, who came as a temporary substitute, is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This strength not only crushed the imperial family of the Tianfeng Empire, but also surpassed any team that had ever participated in previous competitions. That's why there was constant amazement from the audience.

This kind of strength test naturally had no problems. Feng Tianxiang glanced at Ye Bufan, then led the crowd off the stage.

Song Jian smiled coldly and looked over. "Next, Lingxiao Academy."

Ye Bufan looked calm and composed, leading everyone directly onto the stage.

After they took the stage, the audience erupted in cheers and excitement, the atmosphere buzzing with energy that was a hundredfold more intense than before.

As soon as Lu Xue Man, Hu Yao Yao, Chu Ling Xi, and Li Qing Zhu arrived, the four women were undeniably stunning. Any one of them could be described as a breathtaking beauty.

Secondly, Ye Bufan and Jiang Fangzhou standing beside him also seemed a little weak in terms of their aura. Especially Jiang Fangzhou at the back, some cultivators even doubted if he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

This combination immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

"My goodness, the Lingxiao Academy has been quiet for so many years. When did it start recruiting so many stunning female students They're absolutely beautiful..."

"Who are those two guys Their aura is so weak, they're really pathetic, aren't they What kind of cultivation do they have to even participate"

"I think I understand now, the rules were set specifically for Lingxiao Academy, and it seems they couldn't gather two male students..."

It seems that the people present have now somewhat understood why Song Jian had previously said that yang was waning and yin was waxing. The Lingxiao Academy is a perfect example of this situation.

Here, not only are there many women, but they are also extremely powerful cultivators. There are only two men, and one is worse than the other.

Even the spectators watching from the sidelines could see what was going on, and the examiner on stage naturally saw through the trickery as well.

Since it was someone the Prince disliked, he wouldn't have any courtesy. The smile he had for the royal family and Azurewind Academy vanished instantly, replaced by an utterly cold expression.

According to the set procedure, Lu Xueman, Hu Yaoyao and others successively reported their cultivation levels.

"Early Stage of the Refinement Void, Middle Stage of the Refinement Void…"

As these girls announced their cultivation levels, the audience below exclaimed in astonishment once again.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also has such high cultivation, naturally attracting the envy of countless people.

Finally, the crowd arrived at Ye Bufan's place, and the noise on the scene instantly ceased.

The entire Kunlun Continent is a nation built on martial arts, and the Tianfeng Empire is no exception.

Among the audience present were cultivators, and they could all see that this young man was only at the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

The assessor glanced at him with a cold expression and asked in a formal tone: "Age, cultivation level."

"Twenty-one years old, in the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

As soon as Ye Bufan's voice fell, the scene was immediately filled with murmurs.

As a normal situation, reaching the middle stage of Yuan Ying at this age would be considered quite good. But this is where This is a gathering place for martial arts prodigies!

Every participant is a martial arts prodigy. It's unheard of in history for someone at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage to participate in the newcomer ranking tournament selection.

The examiner snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain, but there was nothing he could do. The other party didn't violate the regulations, so he couldn't say much. He could only look at Jiang Fangzhou behind him.

"Age, cultivation level"

"Twenty years old, with the cultivation of gold..."

Jiāng Fāngzhōu had just said half a sentence when he was slapped back by Yè Bùfán.

This guy learned hidden cultivation techniques from himself. He wanted to pretend to be weak and then suddenly unleash his power, acting like a fool first and then shocking everyone.

But pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger has its limits. The lowest cultivation requirement for them is the Nascent Soul stage. You said you're at the Golden Core stage, so they'd just kick you out directly.

Jiang Fangzhou also realized this, hurriedly suppressing his excitement and said again, "I'm at the early stage of Nascent Soul."

According to his thinking, as long as within the rules, cultivation should be as low as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene erupted in a cacophony of noise.

"What the heck Is Lingxiao Academy really deserted Every man here is worse than the last…"

"That's right, the middle stage Nascent Soul was already weak, there was even an early stage Nascent Soul..."

"This isn't a competition, is it They just came to make up the numbers..."

All eyes turned to Jiang Fangzhou and Ye Bufan, met with looks of scorn. Just then, another voice rang out.

"Your Highness, he's lying! This guy is actually a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator!"As she ate the ice cream, she continued to play her game console nearby.Ye Bufan was in an extremely good mood. He never expected Ye Erlang's strength to reach such a level all of a sudden.Xiao Qing's...
