People didn't know what the questions for the re-election of the Divine Kingdom were, but as Yi Yun arrived at the plain on the outskirts of the city, he heard many people discussing the questions for this re-election.

At this moment, quite a few candidates had already gathered there. Only more than sixty people were truly qualified to participate in the re-election.

However, some of the eliminated contestants and the surrounding civilians also gathered to witness the grandeur of the re-election, resulting in tens of thousands of spectators on the scene.

The plain on the outskirts of the Tao Clan had no stands; those in the front could see, but those in the back couldn't see at all. Even so, they were unwilling to leave.

For a moment, the crowd surged, and the Tao Clan had to dispatch members of the Warrior Camp to maintain order to prevent a stampede.

It turned out that the decision of the Tao Clan's upper echelons to send the Warrior Camp to maintain order was very necessary. When the First Prince and the Second Prince of the Tao Clan arrived at the scene, the entire atmosphere became unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

The First Prince and the Second Prince were both idol figures of the Tao Clan. Especially the First Prince, Hu Ya, who was only eighteen years old, had a reserved and taciturn nature and rarely appeared in public. This low-key approach gave people a sense of mystery. Moreover, Hu Ya had a cold and handsome face, which made him an idol for many young women in the entire Tao Clan.

In particular, Hu Ya's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Purple Blood Realm, and he was just one step away from the "Body Refinement Completion, Pulse Like a Dragon" realm.

In the Great Wasteland, where resources were scarce and the inheritance was far inferior to that of the Central Plains, the First Prince could reach a level close to the "Body Refinement Completion, Pulse Like a Dragon" realm, which was nothing short of a miracle.

For this reason, the people of the Tao Clan were very proud!

They placed great hopes on the First Prince, Hu Ya!

When Hu Ya appeared, many young women shouted his name, almost fainting from excitement.

This scene reminded Yi Yun of the concerts he used to attend, where fans would faint from excitement upon seeing their idols. In the Great Wasteland, where everything was based on strength, Hu Ya, as a genius warrior, had a charisma far surpassing the stars of Yi Yun's previous life.

After Hu Ya, the Second Prince, Tao Yun, also received a lot of cheers.

Following them were seven Purple Blood Realm warriors, all between twenty and twenty-eight years old. Compared to the dazzling Hu Ya and Tao Yun, their presence was much weaker.

In addition, several elders of the Tao Clan also arrived. They represented the rulers of the Tao Clan. Rulers naturally had to maintain their dignity, so they set up a row of tables in the center of the venue, which served as the main stage, with tea and wild fruits on the tables.

The chief examiner for this re-election was still Zhang Tan.

Ten minutes before the re-election began, he rode a dragon horse to the center of the venue.

Several elders called Zhang Tan to the "main stage," but Zhang Tan ignored them and stood in front of the many candidates, his sharp gaze sweeping over the sixty-odd warriors below.

For a moment, the several elders of the Tao Clan didn't know whether to stand or sit. Since Zhang Tan was standing, how could they sit?

After exchanging glances, they had to stand up from their seats, looking extremely awkward, like primary school students standing at attention.

At this moment, the Blood Warriors and the Purple Blood Warriors had already divided into two camps.

For the Purple Blood Warriors, this re-election was just a formality. As long as they weren't too poor, they could pass.

But for the Blood Warriors, it was a different story. They would face fierce competition!

"The re-election of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's warriors begins now!"

Zhang Tan held a horsewhip, his voice incredibly loud.

"I will now announce the rules of the re-election!"

Zhang Tan waved his hand, and a beam of white light shot into the sky, growing larger and larger until it transformed into a white jade platform.

This white jade platform was about ten feet square and was suspended in the air, floating steadily.

Around the platform were four pillars, each embedded with a blood-red crystal, which were the remains of wild beasts.

Clearly, there was an array on the jade platform, powered by the wild beast remains, making it a precious treasure!

However, it was unknown what the jade platform was used for.

Zhang Tan stood on the jade platform and said, "Warriors practice martial arts to cultivate inheritance. Inheritance is divided into various categories such as techniques, body methods, secret arts, spirit cultivation techniques, and martial skills. The most fundamental of these is the cultivation technique! This directly determines your cultivation progress and whether you can surpass the Blood Realm, and even the Purple Blood Realm in the future!"

"Your martial path is still in its early stages. I will test your spirit and cultivation techniques, which are the most basic things and will almost determine your future achievements. You must take this seriously!"

"Now, each of you will step onto this white jade platform and demonstrate the body cultivation technique you have practiced, while also reporting your age for my evaluation!"

"This white jade platform is a cultivation treasure used by the elite of the Jinlong Guard, made by a famous alchemy master of the Divine Kingdom, powered by wild beast remains. It can gather the elemental energy of heaven and earth, ensuring that you can perform your cultivation techniques at their best!"

As Zhang Tan spoke, there was a loud "thud," and the white jade platform landed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"So, it's a demonstration of cultivation techniques!" Among the Blood Realm candidates, Tao Yunxiao stood at the front. Hearing Zhang Tan's words, a smile appeared on his lips.

He was already confident!

Originally, his ideal re-election method was a real fight, but demonstrating cultivation techniques was also fine. With the trump card of the Tao Clan, he would sweep the field!

"Starting with the Blood Realm, I will call out names. Those I call will come forward to demonstrate!"

"First, Sun Yu!"

Zhang Tan called out a name. Sun Yu was the successor of a small clan. He didn't expect to be the first to go, so he was a bit nervous for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Yu calmed down and leaped onto the platform.

"Sun Yu, twenty years old, demonstrating the cultivation technique 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist'!"

In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' was undoubtedly the top cultivation technique for the Blood Realm. The most people practiced it, and the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' itself was of very high quality, being a top-tier technique.

Unfortunately, Sun Yu came from a small clan. In the Great Wasteland, small clans had little communication with the Central Plains. The 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' that Sun Yu learned was an incomplete secret manual obtained by the Tao Clan, and it was not as good as the one taught by Lian Chengyu and Yao Yuan.

Thus, Sun Yu's demonstration was mediocre, failing to showcase the power of the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist.' His tendons and bones only made slight sounds, far from meeting the requirements of the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist.'

Tao Yunxiao sneered. He didn't take this level of skill seriously at all.

"Next, Zhou Kang!"

Zhang Tan's expression remained unchanged as he called out the second name. After Sun Yu stepped down, he immediately called out the next name.

Zhou Kang was an elite trained by the Tao Clan. He also used the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist.' Compared to Sun Yu, Zhou Kang, who had a Purple Blood Realm peak master as his teacher, performed the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' much more powerfully!

His punches were fierce, and his bones and tendons made loud cracking sounds.

"Crack!"

When Zhou Kang delivered his final punch, he jumped off the white jade platform onto an open area and performed the move "Tiger Falls on Flat Sand," kicking a boulder the size of a human head, shattering it into pieces!

"Good!"

In the crowd, some spectators cheered.

Zhang Tan's expression remained unchanged. "Next, Chen Pingguang!"

...

"Next, Lin Jun!"

...

"Next..."

Zhang Tan called out the names of more than fifty Blood Realm warriors, his expression never changing. It took him two hours to finish the demonstrations of the weaker candidates. The remaining ones were the best among the Blood Warriors, including Tao Yunxiao and Yi Yun.
