There were dozens of desks set up at the location designated by Sima Jingyi, with a person standing in front of each desk.
These people were responsible for registering the disciples participating in the competition. Chu Linfeng glanced at one of them casually and felt the aura emanating from him was somewhat similar to that of Liu the Dog.
"Could it be that all of these people have the power of the Ninth Level of Black Tortoise Realm?" He was extremely shocked in his heart.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion were indeed impressive; any random person had such power. No wonder no one dared to cause trouble in the City Lord's Mansion over the years. With so many experts, causing trouble could only lead to death.
Chu Linfeng and Chu Linyue were in the same line, roughly estimating there were over a thousand family disciples participating this time.
This was unprecedented, and the registration process was quick. Before long, it was Chu Linfeng's turn.
"Name, age, family! Black Tortoise Realm level!" the person at the desk asked Chu Linfeng.
"Chu Linfeng, sixteen years old, family Chu, Fifth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm!" Chu Linfeng answered truthfully.
Then that person gave Chu Linfeng a badge with the number 364, with some small texts written on it.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually the competition rules spoken by the City Lord's daughter, Sima Jingyi. Even if these rules were not stated, everyone would already know them.
Falling off the stage, being unable to get up, or admitting defeat all counted as failure.
Of course, death was also normal, but if someone still attacked after the opponent surrendered, even if they won, they would be stripped of their qualification to continue the competition and face severe punishment.
Of course, if a life and death agreement was signed beforehand, it was another matter, but such occurrences were rare; without deep hatred, there was no need.
Chu Linfeng quickly completed the registration, and it was soon Chu Linyue's turn. When Chu Linyue heard Chu Linfeng claim he was just at the Fifth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm, she felt as if she had seen a ghost.
"Lin Feng, are you really at the Fifth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm? You should know the consequences of falsifying your level are very serious." Chu Linyue was a bit worried he was being reckless.
"Haha, is it delightful to know the truth? I'm at the same realm as you," Chu Linfeng laughed, intentionally looking at Chu Linyue's bosom.
"How is that possible?" Chu Linyue's heart was in turmoil, like a pot of mixed emotions.
Chu Linyue also completed the registration quickly. "Lin Feng, what's your number?"
"Three hundred sixty-four, how about you?"
"Five hundred eighty-one."
"Weren't you behind me in line? You should be three hundred sixty-five!"
"You ask me, who do I ask? What are you looking at, haven't seen a beauty before?" Chu Linyue noticed Chu Linfeng's gaze.
"Beauty? Where? I don't see any!"
"Go to hell!" Chu Linyue was so angry that she ran directly towards the competition stage.
Chu Linfeng smiled. He enjoyed watching Chu Linyue angry, with a bit of spice and wildness, so much so that he wanted to provoke her every time.
"Registration is complete, family disciples participating in the competition, please sit according to the numbers on your badge. Numbers starting with one go to stage one, with two to stage two, and so on.
Remember the rules of the competition, regardless of your background or how outstanding a genius you are, violating the rules will result in disqualification."
Sima Jingyi's beautiful voice reached Chu Linfeng's ears, making him think, "There are over ten thousand people here, yet this lady can deliver her voice clearly to each one, truly remarkable."
"This is normal at the Earth Martial Realm. Among the participants, two are your rivals, be cautious. One is already at the Eighth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm.
And there's someone else you would never guess, but if you encounter her, you'll be very pleasantly surprised!" Sword Spirit Yue'er's voice appeared in Chu Linfeng's mind.
"Who is it?"
"I can't tell you now, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise! Remember to hide your strength and reveal it only in the finals for an unexpected advantage."
"You always leave me hanging!" Chu Linfeng was quite dissatisfied but helpless against Sword Spirit Yue'er.
The number on Chu Linfeng's badge started with three, so he could only compete on the third stage.
There were one hundred contestants on the third stage, divided into groups by the same last digit, forming ten groups. The winner of each group would advance.
Chu Linfeng was in the fourth group, meaning he could only compete after the first three groups were done.
At that moment, Chu Linfeng felt a sharp gaze coming from the viewing seats of the stage.
He looked up to find it was a veiled woman, surrounded by several people, including Chu Yuanba and Liu the Dog.
"Who is she? Could she be Sima Jingyi?"
Though her appearance was hidden, she seemed no older than twenty. Surprisingly, she was already an Earth Martial Realm expert.
Chu Linfeng also gazed at her, feeling pleased with their eye contact. He had never done this before, including looking at Chu Linyue's bosom and speaking those vulgar words.
However, since that unforgettable incident with Lin Ruoxi, sometimes he couldn't control his actions and words, though he hadn't done anything outrageous, something felt amiss.
"Are you trying to match my gaze? Let's see how long you can hold it!" Chu Linfeng thought with a smile, not realizing how thick-skinned he was becoming.
Their eyes met for about five seconds before Sima Jingyi looked away.
"Daring to meet my gaze, do you even know who I am?" Chu Linfeng felt a sense of victory.
"Lin Feng, you're getting worse. It seems you have too much Pure Yang Power inside and need to vent it. Otherwise, you'll lose control and might do something worse than a beast," Sword Spirit Yue'er warned.
Chu Linfeng was startled; things worse than a beast were a taboo for martial artists. Any martial artist could kill such a person without any family complaints.
"Why am I like this?"
"You were born with a Pure Yang Body, having more Pure Yang Qi than others. Once you lose your virginity, you must engage with a woman monthly to absorb her Yin Qi.
As Lin Ruoxi has a Profound Yin Body, she could sustain you for three months, but now the time has passed, naturally causing reactions."
Chu Linfeng felt a chill down his back, no wonder he kept reminiscing about his intimate moments with Lin Ruoxi recently.
Thinking about her made him feel parched. "What should I do? I don't want to do anything worse than a beast!"
"You just need to be with a woman, but finding one is not easy. With your current Pure Yang Qi, an ordinary woman could hardly bear it, potentially leading to her demise."
"I'll find Ruoxi, she's the Profound Yin Body and can help me!" Chu Linfeng responded immediately.
"You can't look for her now; you must wait until she reaches the Earth Martial Realm, or you'll harm her!"
This made Chu Linfeng almost frantic. Ordinary women wouldn't work, and Ruoxi wasn't an option either. Would he have to do something worse than a beast after all?
"There's a solution, but it depends on your courage!" Sword Spirit Yue'er smiled.
"What do you mean? Explain clearly!" Chu Linfeng saw hope and quickly asked.
"Although Sima Jingyi isn't a Profound Yin Body, she's a rare Nine Yin Body. If you could engage with her, the problem would be solved."
"You want me to be with her..."
