Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Modifying the Rules

“The competition isn’t hosted by the Celestial Master Institute? Can he still participate?” An Jiahe was slightly startled.

“The Celestial Master Institute is in charge of the competition; naturally, they set the rules,” An Yi said indifferently.

“This is disadvantageous for us,” An Jiahe pondered. “Should we try to take control of the hosting rights of the competition?”

“If we host the competition, do you think the Heavenly Emperor would agree?” An Yi asked while savoring his tea.

“Then let’s send our people into the competition to clear the obstacles,” An Jiahe suggested after a moment’s thought. “I have already tested Lin Shen’s strength, and he indeed has some capabilities; his skills are formidable. However, his Blade Technique isn’t systematic. Against true experts, this is a fatal weakness. Moreover, he is only at Ascension Level and lacks the capital to contend with me. My only fear is that he will play dirty with the competition rules.”

“Do not underestimate any opponent. If the Heavenly Emperor does not wish for you to obtain the Dark Domain Lotus Seed, and he is utilizing Lin Shen, he clearly believes Lin Shen is capable of snatching the Dark Domain Lotus Seed from your hands,” said An Yi.

An Jiahe nodded and said, “Father’s concern is well-placed. If that’s the case, then we must be wary of his covert methods. There are already quite a few outstanding Nirvana Beings in my academy, all of whom have extraordinary identities. I will have them all participate in the competition. Surely he can’t dispose of everyone under the watchful eyes of the public. If he dares do so, those nobles from the Tian, Chi, and An families won’t let him off the hook either. Inciting public anger, even with Emperor Tianshu’s protection, he would find it difficult to remain on Sky Pinnacle Star.”

Lin Shen had received the competition rules set by Sai, and after reading them, he felt very satisfied.

The rules maximally restricted Nirvana Beings, disallowing the use of Spirit Base and pets.

Although Ascenders were equally limited, Nirvana Beings would be significantly tougher to defeat if they were allowed to use Nirvana pets and Nirvana Spiritual Bases.

Lin Shen, after considering the rules suitable, asked Sai to proceed with announcing the competition sign-ups.

Suddenly, a red tendon-like object crawled out of Lin Shen’s pocket.

“Death Powder has undergone its second Nirvana…” Lin Shen felt a surge of joy within his heart, and then immediately thought of something and quickly contacted Sai again.

Fortunately, Sai had not yet released the competition rules. Lin Shen had her modify them to disallow the use of Spirit Base while permitting pets.

Sai asked repeatedly to confirm that pets were allowed before making the change and then released the competition notice, which had a sign-up period of only three days.

There was only a prize for the first-place winner, with no consolation prizes. Furthermore, the ultimate reward remained a hidden mystery. Considering these conditions, Lin Shen had thought there wouldn’t be too many registrants.

When the time came, he would arrange for the Ye Xing Four Ladies to go up first to probe An Jiahe’s strengths and weaknesses, before stepping forward himself to eliminate An Jiahe.

With Death Powder having undergone its second Nirvana, Lin Shen felt that eliminating An Jiahe wouldn’t be too difficult.

Lin Shen checked Death Powder’s attributes and found that its four-dimensional attributes had not changed; they were still the same as before.

The only change was in the Nirvana Attributes. Death Powder’s previous attribute was named True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light, and it was now named True Extreme Evil-Slaying Destructive Death Ray, a much longer name.

Lin Shen found a spot to test it and discovered that Death Powder’s Power of Nirvana had become stronger. It not only retained its previous destructive power but had also acquired the disintegrative ability similar to that of Changhen Dongli.

“It’s really powerful! In terms of destructive power alone, Death Powder’s Power of Nirvana must be considered top-tier,” Lin Shen remarked as he swung Death Powder around, feeling that it was rather convenient to use.

Although Lin Shen’s swordsmanship and fan techniques had become quite good, they were hardly comparable to Death Powder.

The True Extreme Evil-Slaying Destructive Death Ray, which could destroy and eliminate anything, was not something that those two types of skills could resolve.

Lin Shen’s Scrap Sword Snip technique failed to cut through the True Extreme Evil-Slaying Destructive Death Ray, and instead, the Blade Qi was eradicated by the Death Ray.

The physical bodies of the Scrap Sword and the scabbard just managed to block the Death Ray, but that was all they could do. They couldn’t cut through it, and Lin Shen was sent reeling back a great distance, his scabbard slipping from his hand.

With his skills fully activated, and after merging with the Contrarian, Lin Shen just barely managed to cut through the Death Ray using Scrap Sword Snip, and it required the combination of the Scrap Sword and its physical scabbard as the Blade Qi was entirely useless.

A lone Scrap Sword Skill could not sever the Death Ray, and the upgraded Death Ray was genuinely terrifying.

As Lin Shen was studying the capabilities of Death Powder, An Sai sent him a communication request.

“Aunt Sai, what’s happened?” Lin Shen asked, noting that An Sai’s expression seemed a bit off.

“Dean, the number of people registering is unexpectedly high. Many nobles from the Celestial, An, and Chi families have registered, and several Princes have also signed up…” An Sai said with a complex expression.

This was completely different from what they had initially thought. With so many strong competitors registering, controlling the competition would not be so easy.

Lin Shen immediately understood what was happening and asked in a grave tone, “Those who registered, have they all studied at An Jiahe’s He Family Academy before?”

An Sai was slightly startled, and upon realizing, she responded, “Wait a moment.”

After checking the registration list, An Sai quickly said, “Dean, you were right. What should we do now?”

Lin Shen was even more certain that his opponent this time must be An Jiahe.

“Anyone can participate in the competition. If they want to join, then let them. The more, the merrier. Withdraw the Ye Xing Four Ladies’ registration forms; they won’t be participating anymore. Get some Ascenders to register for the competition instead,” Lin Shen instructed.

An Sai understood Lin Shen’s intentions and immediately got busy.

Lin Shen knew he couldn’t stop the noble sons of the three families from registering, and An Jiahe’s move was quite ruthless. If he dared to rig the competition, he would offend all three families, making it very difficult for him to get by on Sky Pinnacle Star from then on.

“An Jiahe’s ambition is indeed grand,” Lin Shen thought coldly to himself. “He probably wants his He Family Academy to follow in the footsteps of the Supreme Academy, gathering all the talents from the Celestial Race and even other races under him. No wonder Emperor Tianshu couldn’t tolerate him.”

Despite the registration period lasting only three days, the number of registrants kept increasing, with many renowned Nirvana Beings from within the Celestial Race among them.

Several top-notch Nirvana Beings, who hadn’t even participated in the racial ranking wars, had signed up for this competition, despite not knowing what the prize was.

Now the entire Celestial Race was talking about the competition held by the Celestial Master Institute, and many were puzzled. The Celestial Master Institute was no longer what it used to be, and the prizes were so modest. How could it wield such influence that so many scions of noble families were participating in the contest?
