Today is the first day of registration, and most members planning to sign up will come to register today.
Besides the members of the Skyfire Temple queuing to register, there are also many onlookers on both sides of the registration point, watching the excitement.
Everyone wants to see which formidable figures will sign up for this Skyfire Trial.
Even Guang Tiancheng, the commander of the Cold Fiend Army, has come to the square.
By Guang Tiancheng’s side are two lieutenants of the Cold Fiend Army.
“A’Yu, you failed the last trial. This time, you must make an effort and not disgrace our Cold Fiend Army,” Guang Tiancheng said, patting the shoulder of a man with a small moustache beside him.
This man, called A’Yu, is not only a lieutenant under Guang Tiancheng but also his trusted confidant.
“Don’t worry, Commander. This time, I’m very confident!” A’Yu replied with full confidence.
“It depends on how many Tongtian realm participants there are this time. If there’s none, you’re guaranteed a top-three spot. If there’s one, your chances are still high,” Guang Tiancheng murmured.
Guang Tiancheng came here today specifically to see if any Tongtian realm cultivators would register.
“Also, Zhu Xing, you should register too. You definitely won’t make it this time, but it’ll be good training, a chance to get familiar with the Skyfire Trial for the next one,” Guang Tiancheng said to the other lieutenant beside him.
“Got it, Boss!” Zhu Xing, the lieutenant, nodded in response.
Zhu Xing is only at the Mysterious Saint level, so it’s indeed unlikely for him to reach the top three in this Skyfire Trial.
“Hm? Why’s that guy here?” Guang Tiancheng frowned.
He spotted Lin Yun’s figure appearing in the square.
“Boss, who’s that?” Lieutenant Zhu Xing asked.
“I’ve mentioned him before. The new lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion, named Lin Yun, only at the Dominator realm,” Guang Tiancheng said.
“He probably just joined the Skyfire Temple and is curious about the Skyfire Trial registration, so he came to watch the excitement,” Lieutenant A’Yu said.
Just as A’Yu finished speaking, they saw Lin Yun walk straight to the back of the registration queue and start lining up.
“This guy… he’s actually queuing to register?”
“Am I seeing things? Is this a mistake?”
When they saw Lin Yun join the registration queue, their eyes nearly popped out in shock.
“Boss, didn’t you say he’s only at the Dominator realm? Why… why is he signing up?” Lieutenant Zhu Xing exclaimed.
“It seems he’s new to the Skyfire Temple and doesn’t understand the situation,” Guang Tiancheng said coldly.
“Let’s go over. Since he’s clueless, I, as the commander, will have to tell him myself.”
After speaking, Guang Tiancheng headed toward the queue, with the two lieutenants quickly following.
In an instant, the three arrived in front of Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, who was queuing, naturally noticed Guang Tiancheng and the others approaching.
“Commander Guang,” Lin Yun said, clasping his fists in greeting.
Although Guang Tiancheng had always been unfriendly toward Lin Yun, he had, after all, helped cover for him once before. Moreover, as Lin Yun’s direct superior, Lin Yun maintained a polite attitude toward him.
“Lin Yun, what are you doing queuing here?” Guang Tiancheng approached, lowering his voice and speaking sternly, his expression serious.
“Commander, I’m queuing here to register for the Skyfire Trial, naturally,” Lin Yun said with a polite smile.
At these words, Guang Tiancheng’s
“Nonsense! Do you even know what the Skyfire Trial is? A mere Dominator realm cultivator like you has no right to participate! Let alone Dominator realm, even Early Saint or Mysterious Saint realms have no chance! For a Dominator realm to join is a joke, you’d just get beaten up! Get out of the queue now!” Guang Tiancheng scolded harshly.
“Commander, today is just registration. The trial doesn’t start for another five hundred years. I still have plenty of time to improve my strength,” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun showed no intention of leaving the queue.
At these words, Guang Tiancheng and his two lieutenants were both angry and amused.
Lieutenant A’Yu sneered, “Lieutenant Lin, you’re too full of yourself. Do you think you can improve much in five hundred years? Just advancing from Dominator realm to Saint realm takes an immense amount of time, and many get stuck there, unable to break through in their lifetime.”
The higher one’s cultivation, the longer it takes to advance each realm, especially at the Dominator or Saint realms. Five hundred years is actually quite short for cultivators at this level!
For beings at this level, the concept of time is vastly different from that of ordinary people!
Lieutenant Zhu Xing added, “Even if you’re exceptional and reach the Early Saint realm in five hundred years, you still have no chance of making the top three. You’d just be cannon fodder. The Skyfire Trial is a major event for the Skyfire Temple, it’s a high-level competition, don’t you understand?”
Guang Tiancheng, with a stern face, spoke again, “Lin Yun, you haven’t been at the Skyfire Temple long, so I’ll forgive your ignorance. Now that I’ve explained the situation, get out of the queue!”
Despite their reprimands, Lin Yun didn’t get angry. He maintained his smile and said, “Commander Guang, Lieutenants, thank you for the advice, but I still want to register. Even if I can’t make the top three, it’ll be a good experience, right?”
At these words, Guang Tiancheng’s face darkened completely.
“Experience? Hmph, you’d just be cannon fodder! You need a certain level of strength for it to count as experience. Lin Yun, you might not care about losing face, but the Cold Fiend Army can’t afford it!” Guang Tiancheng couldn’t help but shout.
His outburst immediately drew the attention of many onlookers.
Guang Tiancheng took a deep breath to suppress his anger, glared at Lin Yun, and said in a low voice, “Get out!”
“Commander, registration is voluntary,” Lin Yun said.
His meaning was clear: I’m definitely signing up.
“You… you…” Guang Tiancheng was practically fuming. How could this guy be so stubborn?
Since Lin Yun joined his command, he had never left a good impression. From learning Lin Yun was only at the Dominator realm to Lin Yun’s inaction during a mission, which Guang Tiancheng had to cover up for him, everything made Guang Tiancheng’s opinion of Lin Yun utterly deplorable.
“Lin Yun, if you don’t listen to me and insist on participating, fine. I’ll put it this way: if you don’t make the top three, I’ll report your inaction from last time and kick you out of the Cold Fiend Army!” Guang Tiancheng said viciously.
