Chapter 73: Cold Moon Palace

  "Hahaha..." The Emperor burst into a loud laughter and led the crowd quickly towards a magnificent palace.

  As Chen Huan and others followed the emperor into the palace, countless inquiring gazes suddenly fell upon them, and murmurs of discussion arose within the grand hall.

  "The provincial capital of Lancang actually has sixteen people, isn't that a bit exaggerated..."

  "I said earlier that among them were three people who were the president of the Yizhe Gonghui, Fang Yuan, in a small county town. The lord of that small county town was also a person from the Yizhe Gonghui..."

  "So it's all about connections?"

  "Do I need to say more? You can't sense the auras of those three, right? Tsk... They're really beautiful indeed... This batch of newcomers is unexpectedly producing some stunning ones... Heh heh... It'd be great if they could join our Lieyang Hall, brothers, don't fight with me over Dongfang Jian..."

  "Cough, Dongfang brother, you've already said this eight times. You eat meat, but can't leave some soup for us to drink? Is this little beauty the He Lian Wu Zi you mentioned?"

  "Not bad! I have to say, my useless cousin may be good for nothing, but his taste in women is really not bad...... Haha......" The young man who called himself Dongfang Jian gazed at He Lian Wu Zi walking beside Chen Hao with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said in a low voice to the person sitting next to him.

  This guy looks like he's only in his early twenties, but the aura around him is extremely terrifying. From his overbearing words, it can be inferred that among the three halls of Xinxiu Hall, Kuangfeng Hall, he is probably one of the strongest!

  This guy is actually a member of the Dongfang family, one of the three major families in the Town Yuan Kingdom. He entered the Royal Newcomer Hall four years ago and is only 21 years old this year, but he already possesses the powerful strength of a fifth-grade martial emperor. Even in the Royal Newcomer Hall, he is among the top ten figures.

  And he knew the situation of He Lian Wu Zi and Chen Huan's three people, it was from his cousin Dong Fang Zan's mouth. Although Dong Fang Zan is a waste compared to him, but he and Dong Fang Zan have a stinky side that they are very concerned about women, especially beauties. And Dong Fang Zan, who often uses beauties to curry favor with him, has no secrets from him.

  Unlike the Royal Newcomer's Hall, where old birds have something to discuss, this time the newly promoted disciples are mostly discussing how the three Wushu masters from Lanzhou Province all obtained qualifications.

  ……

  "These sixteen people are the ones who qualified for this time's Lancang Provincial Capital. Among them, three were personally selected by President Fangyuan." After bringing Chenhao and others to the front of the stage, facing several obvious high-level officials of the Imperial New Hall sitting on the main stage, he still had that casual and carefree attitude, pointing at Chenhao and others and introducing them in a big way.

  Upon hearing Huang Qi's introduction, the crowd that was still discussing suddenly came to a realization. Immediately, their sharp gaze fell upon Chen Hao, He Lian Wu Zi and Mo Yu Yi, as if wanting to see what made these three special.

  "Take your seats, now that everyone is here, we can begin. This session has recruited 294 disciples in total. I believe you all have a general understanding of the New Show Hall's situation, so I won't repeat it. The three main halls - Liuyang Hall, Lengyue Hall, and Hanxing Hall - are not very different from one another. You can choose freely based on personal preference. One thing to note is that each hall's allocation of spiritual medicine and benefits is equal. If a particular hall has too many people, the share each person receives will naturally decrease. Over the years, the number of people in each hall has been roughly the same. Please take note of this. Disciples whose names have been called, please make your choice immediately and join the corresponding camp formation. Let's begin..."

  As soon as the old man in charge, Zhao Xingchen, the master of the Royal Newcomer Hall, finished speaking, another old man on the chairman's stage, who was also the deputy master of the Newcomer Hall, immediately began to call out names.

  "Zhao family's four disciples, first one, Zhao Yunfei, sixteen years old, First Class Martial Emperor. Which palace do you choose?"

  Wow...

  The deputy master read out the first name, and the crowd was in an uproar. Not to mention Chen Huan and other newly promoted disciples, even some old birds were shocked.

  The Zhao family is the leader of the three major families in the Zhongyang Kingdom and also the helmsman of the Zhongyang Kingdom. The head of the Zhao family is the current king of the Zhongyang Kingdom. Even the new star, Zhao Xingchen, is a member of the Zhao family.

  "Awesome! Half a year ago, Zhao Yunfei was just an 8th rank Martial Emperor, I didn't expect him to be promoted to a 1st rank Martial Emperor at the age of 16...” Some old birds in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim. Such a shocking genius is probably only possible with the deep foundation of the three major families."

  Among the crowd's gasps of amazement, a tall and majestic young man sitting in the front row stood up unhurriedly, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Liang Yang Hall!"

  Later, three other disciples of Zhao's family, Wu Huang Qi Pin, Si Pin and San Pin, also chose Lieyang Temple.

  After the Zhao family, the next were the three major families of the Dongfang and Baili families. The first talents of both families in this generation were slightly inferior, with the highest being a 9th rank Wu Huang. They respectively chose the Cold Moon and Frost Star temples.

  Then come the disciples from various provincial capitals. Disciples from the same place mostly choose the same hall, only a very small number of people make different choices.

  And every time a beauty starts to choose, some old birds in the hall will shout out loud, calling on the beauty to choose their own temple. Dongfang Jian is undoubtedly one of the most ferocious ones.

  ……

  "Qingyun Shixiong, which palace shall we choose?"

  Not long after the selection of the temple began, Chen Huan and his sixteen fellow disciples from Lanchang Prefecture were asked about Zhuge Qingyun.

  "I don't really care, but in the past few years, our school has had more students from the Cold Star Hall. Although there isn't a huge difference between the three halls, each one has its own focus. The Fiery Yang Hall focuses on extreme masculinity and yang energy, the Cold Moon Hall focuses on extreme femininity and yin energy, while the Cold Star Hall is relatively neutral...". Zhuge Qingyun said calmly, his eyes shifting to He Lian Wu Zi as he smiled slightly: "Little Wu Zi, which hall do you like?"

  He Lian Wu Zi was slightly stunned, but immediately shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't care."

  "Alright, in that case, let's choose the Cold Star Palace. It'll be good for us to have each other's backs. With me around, I believe no one will dare bully you..." Zhuge Qingyun said with a hint of a smile and a thread of arrogance on his face. As a 9th rank peak Wu Huang, his strength was not inferior even when compared to the top geniuses of the three major families. He was definitely one of the top few figures in this generation, and he had every right to be proud.

  He chose Hanxing Hall because he was most confident in becoming the number one disciple of this generation of Hanxing Hall.

  Others didn't have much to do with it, but Chen Huan had other plans. Born with a proud bone, he was least willing to associate with those who were too proud of themselves. As for Zhuge Qingyun, he wasn't particularly disgusted. He just didn't want to associate from the bottom of his heart. And Chen Huan believed that even though he was now only a fifth-grade martial artist, no matter which hall he entered, he would inevitably make a big splash, it was just a matter of time.

  Zhuge Qingyun after all came from the same place as him. If he could avoid it, then he would avoid it.

  ……

  "Sixteen disciples of Lanzhou Prefecture, the first one is Zhuge Qingyun, seventeen years old, Ninth Rank Martial Emperor! Which palace do you choose?"

  Zhuge Qingyun's nine-grade Wu Huang strength was bound to cause another stir, and under everyone's gaze, Zhuge Qingyun slowly stood up and reported to the Hanxing Hall!

  Then, thirteen people in a row followed Zhuge Qingyun and chose Hansheng Hall.

  At this time, the deputy hall master pointed to the three people who were personally pointed by Fangyuan. Chen Huan's boundary was not as good as He Lian Wuzi and Mo Yu Yi, but his importance ranked above the two, so the first one he pointed to was Chen Huan.

  When the report came out that Chen Hao was a 13-year-old, fifth-grade martial artist, it also caused quite a stir. Among those present, although they were all top-notch talents, none of them had been able to advance to fifth-grade martial artist at the age of 13. Fortunately, the deputy hall master only mentioned these two points and did not mention his special physique and actual combat power. Otherwise, the commotion caused would be beyond even Zhao Yunfei's...

  "I choose Leng Yue Palace!" Chen Hao said without any hesitation.

  Everyone was astonished by Chen Huan's words, especially Zhuge Qingyun and others. Of course, He Lian Wuzi and Mo Yu Yi were also slightly stunned. No one had expected that Chen Huan would play a special move.

  Huang Qi, who had also sat down at the main table with a swagger, stared at Chen Huan with wide eyes and then smiled, saying: "This little guy, it's all in vain for me to have spoken so much..."

  The deputy hall master didn't give everyone much time to be surprised and directly pointed at He Lian Wu Zi.

  "Violent Yang, choose Violent Yang...... Master brother will take care of you......"

  "Cold moon, cold moon..."

  "Welcome, welcome, cold star..."

  The deputy hall master had just called out He Lian Wu Zi's name, and the old birds went crazy, shouting loudly, obviously extremely popular.

  Zhuge Qingyun's eyes were burning with eagerness, accompanied by a hint of confident smile, gazing at He Lian Wuzi. He believed that He Lian Wuzi wouldn't go easy on Chen Huan just because of him. Although Chen Huan was incredibly talented, he was still too weak now. How could he compare?

  He Lian Wu Zi's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she slowly stood up. After a brief moment of hesitation, her cold and ethereal voice suddenly rang out: "I choose... Cold Moon Palace!"

  "Ah?" Zhuge Qingyun's face suddenly changed.

  "Huh?" Chen Hao also looked at He Lian Wu Zi with a strange expression and said: "Why did you choose me?"

  "Mind your own business..." He Lian Wuzi stared at Chen Huan, scolding him. After a slight pause, as if thinking it wasn't enough, he glared at Chen Huan again and said viciously: "You owe me, one day I'll make you pay back, think you can run? It's not that easy..."

  "I choose Cold Moon Palace!" Just then, Mo Yu's eyebrows didn't even wrinkle as he said this succinctly.

  The emperor gazed at the three of them, cracked a smile and muttered to himself: "These three little rascals are still quite interesting..."

  ……
