Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Time flies.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, after Wang Xian unearthed the things buried by Fuxi, he took Nannan back to the Wang family in the capital, settled her in the clan school, and arranged the best teachers for her.

Nannan herself is also very hardworking.

During this month, Wang Xian was not idle; she calmed down and examined herself.

A month passed just like that.

And today is that day.

The battle for "Ten Days" has begun!

……

The International Square in the eastern suburbs of the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

This is a venue built specifically for major foreign affairs events by the three highest authorities. It is not open to the public at other times and is only used for national-level ceremonies and major competitions.

The plaza covers a vast area, with a huge circular altar in the center. Above the altar floats a giant, completely transparent spirit stone, with pale golden light flowing inside.

That's the core of the teleportation array.

Once all participants have arrived, the three supreme super-powerful beings will personally use this spirit stone as a medium to teleport the thirty prodigies to the opening ceremony venue abroad.

It was still dark.

The area around the square was already completely surrounded by people.

Countless media outlets set up their cameras and microphones, and live broadcast vans filled the surrounding streets.

Internet celebrities held up their live-streaming equipment and shouted themselves hoarse at the camera, while ordinary people crowded behind the police line, standing on tiptoe to look ahead.

Some people held up support signs, some wore T-shirts with the contestants' names printed on them, and some arrived as early as 3 a.m. just to get a good spot.

"Viewers of Daxia! This is a special live broadcast of the 'Ten Days' battle! I'm your host, Brother Xiaotian! I'm currently on the outskirts of the World Plaza, and you can see a huge crowd behind me!"

A young internet celebrity wearing a floral shirt stood in front of the live streaming equipment, waving her arms exaggeratedly:

"Today is a big day! Thirty of our Great Xia's most outstanding talents are setting off abroad to compete against the top geniuses of the world's five greatest nations!"

"What an honor! What a thrill!"

"Even if I have to shout myself hoarse, I'm going to cheer on our athletes today!"

His live stream was flooded with comments.

Some people were chanting "Go for it, Xiao Tian Ge!", some were chanting "Da Xia will win!", and others were asking "When will Wang Xian come out?"

Xiao Tian glanced at the comments and immediately chimed in:

"Wang Datianjiao? Don't rush, don't rush, let's start from the end! You think the climax is right at the beginning of the show? No, no, no, a good show should be savored slowly!"

As they were talking.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in screams.

Xiao Tian suddenly turned his head and pointed the camera at them: "They're here! The first batch of contestants are entering!"

The first to appear at the entrance to the square was Dongfang Zhou.

Today he changed into a clean and neat dark blue training uniform, his hair was neatly styled, and his face was still somewhat indifferent, but his calm temperament was more refined than during the top 100 competition. He had actually broken through to the Star Phase Realm!

His appearance silenced the room for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Dongfang Zhou did not linger and quickly walked through the passage.

Guided by the staff, they walked up to the altar and stood in their designated positions.

"Dongfang Zhou! The Child of Time! His time-manipulation technique amazed everyone in the Top 100 Tournament. Although he ultimately fell to Wang Xian, his strength is undeniable!"

"Everyone, don't forget that he was the man who single-handedly secured the top spot on the Tsinghua and Peking University's ranking list!"

Xiao Tian's voice was extremely loud, his tone full of exaggerated admiration:

"What? You're saying he got completely crushed by Wang Xian?"

"That's because Wang Xian is too strong! Not because Dongfang Zhou is too weak! Time-manipulation abilities, everyone, time-manipulation abilities! Do you know what this means?"

"This means that among people of the same level, he will always have several times more reaction time than others! Such a person would be a genius among geniuses in any era!"

Some viewers in the live chat laughed and scolded, "Brother Xiaotian, your flattery is too obvious," but many more were commenting, "Go Dongfang Zhou!"

Followed by.

Three figures appeared at the entrance almost simultaneously.

The three walked side by side, their steps steady, each exuding a different aura, yet all so powerful that they drew attention.

Walking on the far left was Shen Qingci, dressed in a plain white robe, gentle and refined, with that ever-present, warm smile on her face.

Walking on the far right was Youying, wearing a dark purple robe with her hood undone, revealing a pair of rare deep purple eyes that were both cold and alluring.

Walking in the middle was Huo Tianchen, dressed in a black and gold martial arts robe, with a cold expression that made him look like someone not to be trifled with.

"The three supreme cultivators of the Ten-Day Seeds—Shen Qingci! You Ying! Huo Tianchen!"

Xiao Tian's voice was almost splitting; he was so excited he nearly threw the live-streaming equipment away.

"Dear viewers! These three are the ultimate trump cards personally nurtured by the three supreme beings!"

"Shen Qingci, inheritor of the Emperor's Law, an unparalleled prodigy cultivated by the Supreme Government's resources!"

"Youying, a disciple personally taught by Yama, a wielder of the power of the Nine Netherworlds, and the cold-faced goddess of the Supreme Starlight Court!"

"Huo Tianchen, disciple of Lu Tianwu, commander of the Ninth Legion, and a rising star in the Supreme Command Bureau!"

He caught his breath and continued shouting:

"Shen Qingci is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and possesses unparalleled wisdom and strategy. Although he was eliminated by Wang Xian in the top 100 competition, he even managed to summon the illusory image of the Human Emperor in that battle!"

"Youying, the deadly scythe of the night, has eliminated countless contestants in the top 100 competition. In one-on-one battles, she has never lost, except to Wang Xian!"

"Huo Tianchen can easily traverse the void, cultivate killing intent, and possesses an astonishing aura; he is truly a killing god of our time!"

The live chat exploded with excitement.

"Goddess! Goddess!"

Shen Qingci is so handsome!

"Look at me, Sister Youying!"

"Lord Huo Tianchen, I want to have your babies!"

Xiao Tian's live stream viewership skyrocketed, and he couldn't stop smiling. But before he could continue, the crowd erupted in another gasp.

Ling, Gu Jiuyou, and Yi Wanfa entered from the other entrance.

Zero was still wearing that loose black cloak, the hood covering most of his face, revealing only a section of his well-defined chin.

Gu Jiuyou carried the White Bone Battle Spear on his back, his expression calm, and his aura was even more restrained than it had been a month ago.

Yi Wanfa leaned on his staff, his robes were neat, and a calm smile graced his face.

"The three aces of the Nine Universities Alliance!"

Xiao Tian's eyes widened: "Ling! Gu Jiuyou! Yi Wanfa! These three were Wang Xian's enemies in the top 100 competition. Although they ultimately lost, their strength should not be underestimated!"

"Zero, the inheritor of the Candle Dragon lineage, possessing the bloodline of ancient mythology, forced Wang Xian to unleash his second form during the Top 100 Tournament!"

"Gu Jiuyou, a prodigy of magical treasures, a chosen one of destiny, possesses a foundation so profound it inspires despair!"

"Master of all magic, the King of Absolute Curses, proficient in all techniques—summoning, curses, space manipulation, elements—he is omnipotent!"

He took a deep breath, his voice filled with a heavy sense of awe:

"These three are all rare geniuses!"

"Although they previously stood against Wang Xian, today they represent the Great Xia! Each and every one of them is a peerless genius capable of standing alone!"

The cheers continued.

Two more figures appeared at the entrance.

A man with a shiny bald head, wearing a purple-gold kasaya, walked with a steady and solemn gait, with a faint golden Buddhist light flowing around him.

Another man had his hair tied up in a crown, wore a Taoist robe with the Nine Palaces symbol, had a whisk draped over his arm, and a faint, roguish smile on his lips.

Buddhist monks and Taoist priests.

The two walked side by side, one a Buddhist leader and the other an eighteenth-generation Celestial Master. Their temperaments were completely different, but the oppressive aura they exuded was equally intimidating.

When Xiao Tian saw them, he jumped up from his chair and raised his hands above his head:

"They're here! They're here! The Buddhist disciple! The Celestial Master! The two core members of the Immortal Ascension Battle Group! The monk! The Taoist priest!"

His voice was already hoarse, but he still shouted desperately:

"This monk, whose real name is Wuxiang, is the contemporary leader of Buddhism!"

"The Buddha himself emerged from seclusion to bestow initiation upon him; a true disciple of the Buddha has emerged from the Tripitaka stupa!"

"The Buddha's light shines everywhere, the Vajra subdues demons, and the Great Sun Tathagata's true scripture shakes the ages!"

"Taoist priest, your real name... is not important."

"He is the eighteenth generation Celestial Master of Taoism! The holder of the first Celestial Master's token, and a peerless genius in the art of talisman arrays!"

"Heavenly Fire Burning World Formation, Purple Thunder Heavenly Punishment Formation—his array of runes can withstand an army of 100,000!"

He took a breath and continued:

"Core members of the Immortal Ascension Battle Group, Wang Xian's right-hand men! Although they didn't fight alone in the Top 100 Tournament, their strength is absolutely unquestionable!"

"The two pillars of Buddhism and Taoism have come together today! The prestige of Great Xia is firmly established!"
