Apotheosis

Generally, the weakest of the disciples who were eligible to participate in the All Peaks Competition had reached the refinement level just below the consummation. Even the least powerful disciple at the Drizzle Peak was in the nature level at grade seven to compete last time.

While five out of the thirteen disciples from Sea Peak had attained the consummation level, the remaining entrants were refining at the eighth or ninth grade of the nature level.

It was rare for a disciple at grade two in the nature level competing in the All Peaks Competition.

It was unique, but there were talented disciples.

For instance, the disciples taught by the saints, and elders at the Cloud Sect were particularly vested individuals. They developed their fantastic refinement methods and possessed incredible strength which qualified them to enter the All Peaks Competition while still at grades two and three in the nature level, where they performed admirably.

Three years ago, at the All Peaks Competition, there had been a disciple named Jacques Wang, whose instructor was a great master in the Cloud Sect. He was ranked among the top one hundred even though, at the time, he was only at grade two of the nature level.

Anybody who sought to be one of the top one hundred had to be able to challenge the disciples refining at the consummation level. It was terrifying to think of just how potent a disciple's inherent energy would be one day, if he was able to go toe to toe against peers who were much stronger and able to refine at higher levels.

It was rumored that Jacques developed his abilities immensely over three years of refinement, which made him the top pick to be named the champion this year.

Jacques was known as a personal disciple. None of the support, facilities or refinement methods at Drizzle Peak could compare to his.

What pers

Hall.

It stressed the importance of the All Peaks Competition to test the strength of every genius.

When every disciple from the thirty-three peaks and personal disciples had arrived, Kenneth rose from his seat and made the announcement of the beginning of the competition.

On cue, an elder appeared, flying over the field. He carried dozens of copies of a long list, and as he passed each peak's group, he handed one to each master.

On the page were written the contestants' names, their competitors, and which round they would fight during.

There were over forty disciples listed from Skytop Peak, whereas there were only seven from Drizzle Peak. Overall, there were nearly seven hundred names listed, with more than six hundred disciples from the thirty-three peaks and more than fifty personal disciples.

Initially, many of the hopeful seven hundred disciples would be eliminated through group trials.

After Master Wen of Drizzle Peak looked over the list, he frowned, sighing deeply.

Yehudi took a step closer and asked, "Master Wen, who will our opponents be?"

Smiling bitterly, Master Wen handed Yehudi the list as he replied, "I want everyone to take a look at the list here to know your opponents."
