Chapter 824: Chapter 823 Knowing the Existence of the Competition

Davis pointed above to a person, "If you don't believe me, look at that shiny bald head that is brighter than the sun! I bet not a strand of hair has grown on it for centuries! How could a man with such vitality doesn't have hair?

"If it isn't the defect in your cultivation manuals, then what is it!?" Davis yelled before he looked sincerely worried.

"You!?" Elder Towerfall clenched his teeth, but Davis seemed to ignore him.

"Pfft~."

Elder Enye almost burst out laughing, but she calmed down while it was the core disciple Hannah who was unable to hide her laughter. Even though she quickly suppressed it, numerous people noticed it, including Davis and Elder Towerfall.

Davis had to agree. Hannah of the Falling Snow Sect was very beautiful and powerful even though she seemed to possess humility. Unfortunately, she was bound to face Princess Isabella, so it was a matter of course for Hannah to lose.

Elder Towerfall's expression was contorted to the say the least. His hands slightly moved, wanting to hide his bald head from the crowd. However, if he did that, it would be no different than admitting to Alchemist Davis's claim.

As an elder, he knew that the cultivation manual he trained in was possessed a few flaws that resulted in the side-effect of becoming bald. However, by the time he found that it was no longer possible for him to extricate himself, or else, his strength would drop, and his foundation would become weak if he were to change his cultivation manual midway.

What's more, Halifan trained in the same body tempering cultivation manual as him, so Halifan was destined to become bald like him. If not now, definitely in the future.

Halifan looked as if he received severe mental damage. He looked at Elder Towerfall and gaze at the bald head where he could see his own future of becoming bald.

He was Elder Towerfall's favored because they both trained in the same body tempering cultivation manual. It was also Elder Towerfall whom he approached for doubts, but he didn't think that Elder Towerfall would hide such a defect from him.

"No..." A mutter escaped from his mouth.

He felt his head spinning, and Alchemist Davis becoming blurry in his vision.

"Halifan! Don't let yourself be fooled! Your heart has been taken over by heart demons! Alchemist Davis is nothing more than a Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator! He's tearing your will apart to gain an advantage in the battle!" Elder Towerfall admonished.

Halifan became startled. It was as if he came out of a nightmare. He clenched his teeth in anger before he turned to look at Alchemist Davis, "I admit that I lost my cool but to think that you would use such despicable means..."

"Suit yourself..." Davis shrugged, "Judging by both of your reactions, what I said should have some truth in it..." 

Halifan's heart shook. He still possessed some doubts, but this wasn't the time to be confused, so using his will, he suppressed and put the matter at the back of his mind as he took a deep breath.

"In any case, Baize is also a core disciple like me, but he is weaker even though our ages are near. You should know that all core disciples are not equal..."

"So?" Davis pursed his lips in amusement.

"I'll have you know that I'm stronger than Baize even if he is at the same cultivation base than me. My battle prowess with my Essence Gathering Cultivation equals a top disciple's standard."

Davis became quiet since he almost let out a laugh. He could tell that by letting him know this, Halifan was raising his lost confidence while diminishing his op confidence. Just when he was about to say something, a voice echoed.

"That's right, Halifan. The other elders of our sect and I look upon you favorably. If you manage to win this battle for us, then regardless of the outcome, you will be given the position of top hall disciple whilst your treatment will be a far cry when compared to the past."

Halifan's eyes lit up before he hesitantly asked, "Then that means I'll..."

"That's right! You will be allowed to participate in the upcoming Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition. However, that is only if your cultivation base advances to the High-Level Law Manifestation Stage."

'Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition? With such a long-ass name, it's sure to be grand, but what is it exactly?' Davis felt curious.

"There is no need to worry, Elder Towerfall. As long as I, Halifan Grinel, am able to become a top disciple, just the favor of the sect is enough for me to have a breakthrough and-"

"Uhh... Sorry to interrupt when you're all getting hyped up but what is this Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition you speak off? Is this a countryside joke that I'm unable to understand?" Davis asked with a sincere expression, but his voice was full of mockery.

Halifan's face jerked as he glared at Alchemist Davis, his eyes spitting daggers! What he considered as an honor became a joke in Alchemist Davis's mouth. He didn't even know how to take it as he felt that whatever he said would be met with a counter.

He could battle right now to prove his superiority, but he wanted to thoroughly crush this vermin who seems to stick with an empire-toppling beauty and two beauties. Although he looked like he was focusing on the battle, his gaze fell on the Conferred Queen other than Hannah.

Hannah was one of the core disciples that the Falling Snow Sect brought, and he had taken a liking to her. He was intent on impressing her, so he always kept an eye on her.

Moreover, it seemed that this vermin seemed skilled although his cultivation base was lower than his, and learning the lesson from Baize, he didn't want to underestimate this vermin, especially when this vermin seems to have a powerful soul at the Elder Soul Stage.

It was his first time battling a powerful soul cultivator. Hence, despite his attitude, he remained quite cautious.

"You want to know?" Halifan's eyes flashed with a teasing glint.

"If it's called the Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition, does that mean that I can also participate?" A daring yet melodious voice resounded out, causing all the people in the martial arena to look towards the source of the voice.

Halifan's teasing attitude disappeared, replaced with a sudden urge to spill everything he knew about the Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition to the Conferred Queen!

"This... The Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition only allows people who have a bone age of hundred and below to participate. They must also possess a cultivation base at the Mid-Level Sixth Stage and above. There is a number of spots; quota given to the nine hegemons who rule the Nine Eastern Territories, so if a cultivator wants to participate, they should go through the selection held by one of the nine hegemons in their own Territories."

"Although it is unlikely for outsiders to win in the selections when pit against the younger generation of the nine hegemons, it is not a problem for the Conferred Queen to clear the selections easily."

"It's just that..." Halifan became hesitant, causing Princess Isabella to furrow her brows.
