Yu Huang shook her head and said, "It's not a big problem. I'll try to use my psychic power to repair it."
As she spoke, Yu Huang circulated her psychic power silently and successfully used her psychic energy to purify the incomplete part of her finger.
Soon, the finger returned to normal.
Sheng Xiao was relieved.
After Yu Huang's finger completely recovered, Yin Rong asked her, "Were you using your psychic power to investigate the world below the desert just now? What exactly did you encounter?" To be able to burn Yu Huang's finger to such a state, the thing hidden in the depths of the desert must be terrifying.
Yu Huang stared at the desert under their feet and pondered for a moment before saying, "I encountered a mysterious and terrifying fire attribute energy about 20,000 meters below the desert. My psychic power didn't touch its main body, but just as I approached the range of its energy fluctuations, I was instantly defeated by it."
She raised her fair index finger and said with some fear, "It's very powerful. At least, the current me doesn't even have the power to approach it."
Hearing this, everyone frowned deeply.
Feng Yuncheng said in confusion, "What can it be?"
Yu Huang shook her head. "I didn't sense it clearly and was blasted away by that energy." Perhaps only a Purifying Spirit Master like her mentor had the ability to see the other party's true body.
After hearing Yu Huang's description, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, "Do you still remember the scene of you and Mentor accidentally discovering Prime Master Fu Tian's remains at the Broken Cliff?"
Yu Huang naturally remembered.
She understood what Sheng Xiao was hinting at. "Are you saying that there might be a Prime Master skeleton hidden under the desert?"
Sheng Xiao nodded. "That's just my guess."
Yu Huang, who had personally experienced that powerful energy, thought about it seriously. In the end, she shook her head and said, "I think that energy is far more shocking and powerful than Prime Master Fu Tian's skeleton."
Yin Rong's mouth dropped agape when she heard this and she said, "Could it be another Prime Emperor powerhouse?" Prime Emperor Ice Flame's skeleton was above the desert, and there was another Prime Emperor skeleton hidden under the desert.
super Great Worlds were indeed powerful. They encountered skeletons of Prime Emperor powerhouses just like that.
Yu Huang frowned slightly, but didn't answer.
What she didn't say was that that energy seemed to be even more terrifying than the power of a Prime Emperor after death.
But what could someone be more powerful than a Prime Emperor?
It could only be that of a Divine Master.
However, Yu Huang couldn't believe that the skeleton of a Divine Master was buried underneath.
At this moment, Yu Huang sensed a few more powerful spiritual energy fluctuations that were rapidly flying over from afar.
Yu Huang looked at the seemingly calm sky as she said, "They're here." Just as she finished speaking, a few red shadows quickly flashed across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the shadows landed at the front of the participant team.
At the same time, the participants' excited and respectful shouts sounded at the front of the team. "The branch president is here!"
Hearing this, be it the participants that were chatting, the participants that were dozing, or the participants that were meditating, they all stood up.
Everyone was trying their best to stand on their tiptoes and look towards the front of the team.
They all wanted to see the appearance of the powerful branch president.
Just as Donor had predicted, there were really 100,000 participants in this competition.
The 100,000 participants stood in 200 columns, each with more than 500 people. Yu Huang and the others stood at the end of the last three rows on the left of the team.
Even if they tiptoed, they couldn't see the faces of the branch president and the others clearly.
There was a commotion for a while before a familiar charming female voice stopped them—
"Silence!"
Upon hearing this familiar female voice, Yu Huang and the others knocked on their friends' heads and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Feng Yuncheng's lips moved as he mouthed, "It's Madam Brulee again!"
But no one had told them that Madam Brulee was the branch president of the Beast Tamer Alliance's branch in the Central Continent!
However, as the number one powerhouse in the Central Continent, Madam Brulee was indeed qualified for this profession.
Seeing that all the 100,000 participants had quieted down, Madam Brulee said, "All participating Beast Tamers, follow me to pay your respects to Prime Emperor Ice Flame!"
Hearing this, be it the disciples of the East God Palace or the Prime Masters of the other sects, they all knelt on one knee. Then, they placed their hands together and raised them above their heads. They bowed to Prime Emperor Ice Flame three times respectfully.
Seeing this, Yu Huang and the others followed suit.
After the worship ended, before the people in front stood up, Yu Huang and the others hurriedly raised their heads to look at Madam Brulee, who was standing at the front.
Today, Madam Brulee was wearing an ochre military uniform and a cloak of the same color. She had light makeup on and her curly hair was draped behind her head. She was also wearing a military hat with the symbol of the Cang Lang Continent Beast Tamer Alliance on it.
Madam Brulee looked valiant and heroic.
The staff standing behind Madam Brulee were also wearing ochre military uniforms and hats of the same design. All of them looked mighty and upright.
As if sensing Yu Huang's gaze, Madam Brulee looked in their direction. Then, she nodded at them from afar and quickly retracted her gaze.
Madam Brulee waved her right hand in front of her, then a solemn and sacred declaration of oath appeared in the void.
Madam Brulee clenched her right fist and placed it on her left chest. Then, she looked at the affidavit and read aloud, "I, Dongfang Brulee, represent all the judges and staff to swear on my soul. In this Central Continent Beast Tamer Selection Competition, we will strictly abide by the principles of fairness, courage, and impartiality. Anyone who violates the competition's rules will be expelled from the Central Continent Beast Tamer Alliance and kicked out of the Central Continent. They will never be allowed to step into the Central Continent again!"
Madam Brulee's voice carried the spiritual energy of a Prime Emperor powerhouse. It spread throughout the entire desert and shook the clouds!
Upon hearing Madam Brulee's oath, all the participants felt their blood boiling.
They raised their right hands and said loudly—
"I'm Yu Huang."
"I'm Sheng Xiao."
"I'm Feng Yuncheng."
…
The 100,000 participants shouted their names and neatly recited the participants' swear of oath—
[I swear on my soul that I will strictly abide by the rules of the competition, respect the referee, and respect the opponent…]
As soon as the Swearing-in Ceremony ended, Ice Blazing City's lights were all extinguished.
In an instant, the entire desert darkened.
At this moment, dawn broke through the darkness and rose from the thick dark clouds in the east.
In an instant, dawn arrived in Ice Blazing City.
Madam Brulee's voice resounded in the sky again—
"I announce that the 3499th Central Continent Selection Competition has officially begun! All participants, please follow me into the arena!"
After Madam Brulee waved her right hand forcefully, Yu Huang and the others felt the world spin.
In the next second, the 100,000 participants were brought to the hinterland of the desert west of Ice Blazing City by Madam Brulee.
In this hinterland, there was a crystal stone.
The material of the stone looked quite similar to that of the beast form test tablet that had appeared at the opening banquet of the Divine Realm Academy.
