Chapter 1337: Banquet of the Prodigies
Heavenly Immortal Finger?
Nangong Yuya and Lan Manshuang heard her words and felt a bit puzzled because they hadn't heard of this Divine Skill.
However, this Heavenly Immortal Finger Divine Skill will likely be remembered by everyone in the future.
The Ao Tian Immortal Palm from the Aotian Dynasty is an Immortal-level Divine Power, yet it was easily broken by this Heavenly Immortal Finger. Although Ao Pengfei couldn't fully unleash the power of the Ao Tian Immortal Palm, Wei Xianyun didn't fully utilize the power of the Heavenly Immortal Finger either.
Therefore, in comparison, the Heavenly Immortal Finger is of a higher level than the Ao Tian Immortal Palm.
On this day, the top 2,500 contestants were confirmed, with Qin Hao, Zhou Liuxing, and Lei Feng from the Southern Continent Academy advancing, while the others were eliminated.
Only three people advanced, which looks bleak, but this result is better than previous years. The last time, only one person made it to this stage, and they were eliminated in the next round.
Judging by the performance of Qin Hao, Zhou Liuxing, and others, Qin Hao should be able to advance to the next round, and Zhou Liuxing and Kang Feng might have a chance as well.
This round of competition had quite a few winners who got injured, so the next round will still be held five days later, giving all contestants enough time to recuperate.
Back at the Heaven and Earth Academy residence, Qin Hao looked at his merit points, which were increasing at a rate of tens of millions every day, truly terrifying.
The number of merit points generated by the divine statue was astonishing, which shocked Qin Hao.
Moreover, the power of belief in his mind was increasing every day, becoming very robust and majestic.
He is now cultivating the Human Emperor Skill and can use this power of belief, and these powers have many wonderful uses that cannot be compared to mere cultivation power.
Wei Xianyun saw Qin Hao laughing foolishly and curiously asked, "Qin Hao, what are you doing? Why are you laughing to yourself?"
Qin Hao smiled slightly, "Nothing!"
Wei Xianyun: "Are you thinking about some girl?"
"No, how could that be, am I that kind of person?" Qin Hao replied righteously.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhou Danqing's voice followed, "Qin Hao, Xianyun, may I come in?"
"Come in."
Zhou Danqing walked in and saw the two sitting there drinking tea, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought they might be engaged in something else.
Wei Xianyun smiled at her and said, "Sister Danqing."
Zhou Danqing returned a smile, "Someone just sent an invitation, inviting you and Xianyun to a banquet."
"What banquet?" Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun asked curiously.
Zhou Danqing: "It's from the Ancient God Academy, and the person inviting is Gu Zhan, a top talent from Ancient God Academy, and he has also invited many other top talents."
Qin Hao hesitated for a moment and asked Wei Xianyun and Zhou Danqing, "Should we attend this banquet?"
Wei Xianyun replied, "The fact that they invited us indicates that they consider us as peers, and it's a friendly invitation. It's nice to make some friends like this."
Zhou Danqing nodded in agreement, "Competitions are competitions, and personal friendships are different. I think we should attend. Zhou Liuxing and Kang Feng didn't receive invitations because those people probably think they aren't qualified yet."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "In that case, let's go see tonight."
Zhou Danqing handed the invitation to Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, then left.
...
Around seven in the evening, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun set out together from the Heaven and Earth Academy residence. The banquet location was at the Guiyuan Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Ancient God City and one of Guiyuan Pavilion's forces.
Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun walked there, and the streets were no less crowded than during the day. When people saw Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, they turned their heads to look.
Nowadays, the names of the two had already spread throughout Ancient God City. Almost everyone knew that the Southern Continent Academy and the David Dynasty had produced two extraordinary geniuses, comparable to Gu Zhan and Gui Yi.
Soon, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun arrived hand in hand outside Guiyuan Building, a nine-story wooden building made of special materials, incredibly sturdy.
This nine-story Guiyuan Building stands at a majestic 90 meters height, making it one of the most spectacular sights in Ancient God City.
As they walked into Guiyuan Building, the server was already waiting there. Seeing Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, he hurried over, "Mr. Qin, Princess Xianyun, please."
Following the server's lead, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun arrived at the top of Guiyuan Building, an open-air area with white jade railings around the edges and a starry sky, as if you could reach out and pluck the stars.
On the top were several tables with fine wine, exquisite food, and Spirit Fruits, with six or seven people chatting and laughing.
"Mr. Qin, Princess Xianyun have arrived."
The six or seven people quickly turned their heads, and then one came over to Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun. This person was tall, with a face like a jade crown, dignified in appearance, and a trace of a ruler's aura showed between his brows.
"Mr. Qin, Princess Xianyun, apologies for not greeting you earlier," Gu Zhan said with a smile, giving a sense of being warmed by the spring breeze.
Wei Xianyun's delicate face remained calm, not speaking. She was waiting for Qin Hao to speak because Qin Hao is her partner, and if he didn't speak to the other person, she wouldn't either.
Qin Hao smiled and replied, "Mr. Gu, you are too polite. I'm not one for many formalities."
Gu Zhan laughed heartily, "Mr. Qin and I have similar personalities; I also don't like many formalities. Please, come in, and I'll introduce you."
He led Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun inside and first introduced, "This Mr. Qin should know, Ning Huang from the North Continent, so I won't say much. This is Mr. Li Qingfeng from the East Continent Sheng Tang Dynasty."
Ning Huang and Li Qingfeng nodded to Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, who also responded.
Gu Zhan continued to introduce, "This is Master Bao Hai from the Mahayana Sect in the West Continent."
"Amitabha, greetings to Mr. Qin and Ms. Wei." Master Bao Hai's expression was solemn and dignified, his tone gentle and calm.
"Greetings, Master Bao Hai."
Gu Zhan: "This is a very low-key female talent from our Ancient God Academy, named Meng Ruyan. Mr. Qin, although Ruyan is not well-known, her strength is no less than mine."
Hearing this, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun could not help but take a closer look at Meng Ruyan.
Meng Ruyan wore a pink dress, with a tall figure and a graceful body, she was a rare beauty, comparable to Wei Xianyun in appearance.
The two sides just nodded to greet each other, then Gu Zhan introduced Gui Yi of the Guiyuan Pavilion and Leng Tian of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Just after the introductions, Bai Lingjia of Xingyue Palace also arrived. She wore a long robe, with several maids carrying her long skirt behind her.
"Miss Bai is here, please take a seat." Gu Zhan went over to greet her.
With Bai Lingjia's arrival, everyone was present. There were nine people in total, who could be said to be the top young talents in the entire Hidden Dragon Continent. This was truly a gathering of the supreme talents.
