Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like I'd benefit from this. According to you, the geniuses of various forces recruit people to join them. So I can also join other people and get in too!"

Xueying thought for a moment and said, "That seems to be true! Then I'll give you a reward!"

Just then, Xueyun said, "If you help me get into the top three, I'll give you all the rewards! I won't take a single penny!"

"Isn't it supposed to be in the top five?" Ye Qing asked.

"We have a better chance of finishing in the top three!" Xueying said.

To be honest, Ye Qing was somewhat tempted.

The most important reason was the possibility of breaking through to the Star Lord level. Although the risk was extremely high, the allure was too great for him to resist. If he could break through to the Star Lord level, then Earth would be safe!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Xue Yun and said, "Your Xue Clan has several experts at the Star Lord level who are about your age."

“Three!” Xueying said. “The inner realm has hundreds of levels! However, most people, although they will enter, will likely become people around those three star lords, primarily to protect them. Firstly, it will ensure their cultivation, and secondly, the rewards for achieving a top ranking are extremely generous!”

"In other words, if we include other forces, there are probably a dozen or twenty geniuses at the Star Lord level!" Ye Qing said.

"Based on past experience, there should be around twenty people," Xueying said.

"With twenty Star Lords at the helm, and them bringing a large number of guards, it seems... a bit difficult to secure a top-three finish!" Ye Qing said.

"As long as we break through to the Star Lord level after we go in, we'll have a chance!" Xueying said. "There are many opportunities inside. As long as we can come out alive, most people can break through to the Star Lord level!"

To be honest, I'm really tempted!

If he, Chen Dengyun, and Su Liuyun all survive, it would be equivalent to having three Star Lord-level experts. At that time, they could not only defend Earth, but even... take the initiative to attack the Goddess Star System.

"What kind of prizes are there?" Ye Qing asked.

"The prizes are very generous!" Xueying said, "but they are different every year. They are usually top-quality armor and weapons, rare and precious treasures, or pills for cultivating at the Star Lord level, or Star Lord Pills for training Star Lord level followers, and so on."

"Hmm?" Ye Qing's heart began to pound violently again.

Star Lord Pill!

This whole thing is like a dream come true.

He looked at Xueying, then at Xueyun. Xueying clearly saw the excitement in Ye Qing's eyes. She smiled and said, "So, will you agree to come with us? If you do, you'll come with us to Muxue Star in a couple of days. The time for the Genius Battle is not far off."

Ye Qing slowly exhaled and said, "What if you change your mind? Then on Mu Xue Star, wouldn't I be completely at your mercy? Besides..."

At this point, he looked at Xueyun and said, "I don't really trust this guy!"

"You!" Xueyun's face flushed.

“My sister is quite reliable. She’s not the nicest person to deal with, but you can rest assured about that. However, I can only give you verbal assurances,” Xueying said.

Ye Qing stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, but in the end he decided to take a gamble!

If the Blue Organization really joins forces with the Goddess Galaxy, Earth will not be able to withstand it, as the gap between experts at the Inner Realm level is too great.

Between the Blue Galaxy and the Goddess Galaxy, there are estimated to be thousands of Awakened beings, with the Goddess Galaxy possibly having even more.

They piloted black and white mechs and possessed combat power approaching that of an Inner Realm cultivator. He had to break through to the Star Lord level as soon as possible, and even cultivate several Star Lords.

"Ye Qing, I think it's a good idea!" At this moment, Su Liuyun couldn't help but speak up: "Let's give it a shot!"

Ye Qing nodded, then looked up at the two of them and said, "Okay, let's cooperate. But there's a problem: if your father comes back, can he also resolve your sister's engagement?"

"Whether it's resolved or not, my sister and I are going to participate in this battle of geniuses!" Xueying said. "You can still come in with us. The conditions remain the same!"

"By the way, how are the rankings determined after we get in?" Ye Qing asked.

“The rules are different every year, and we’ll only know them before this year starts,” Xueying said.

“Alright!” Ye Qing said, “Anyone under the age of thirty-five who has awakened can follow me in, right?”

"It would be best if it were an interior space!" Xueyun said at this moment, "Or it could have extremely rare characteristics like his, otherwise going in would just hold us back!"

"Would wind-attribute items work?" Ye Qing asked.

“Wind attribute excels in speed, which is a relatively rare characteristic. Entering it will probably be helpful!” Xueying said, “Of course!”

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "I agree. Let's cooperate. When are you leaving?"

“Five more days. I’ll wait for our father for five more days. If he doesn’t return, we’ll go back to Mu Xue Xing,” Xue Ying said.

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said.

Xueying's face lit up with a hint of happiness as she said, "As long as we enter the ancient star and all three of us break through to the Star Lord level, our chances will be much greater."

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the healer helped Chen Dengyun out and said, "Gentlemen, his injuries have been healed, but because his injuries were too severe and his vital energy was depleted, he still needs to rest for a while. I am truly powerless to help him in this regard!"

"Thank you, how much is it?" Ye Qing asked.

The man said in a panic, "It is my honor to work for the Snow Clan, how could I accept money!"

“One thing at a time, we’ll collect whatever amount is due!” Ye Qing said.

"Then... give me a blue crystal?" he said, looking at Xueying and the other person beside him.

Ye Qing knew that this was definitely not just about one blue crystal. After thinking for a moment, he took out five blue crystals and placed them on the table.

Su Liuyun was already supporting Chen Dengyun!

Chen Dengyun said with a wry smile, "I've caused you trouble again!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just surviving is good enough!" Ye Qing patted his shoulder, then looked at Xue Ying and asked, "By the way... how long will that genius battle last?"
