Han Xuanji raised an eyebrow slightly: "That is indeed good luck."
"Mm."
Commander He Guanshan nodded and said slowly: "It's quite lively now, but..."
"The opponents this time are not ordinary."
Commander He Guanshan's tone became serious: "Although you defeated Centurion Zhou Lie, Centurion Zhou Lie was also easily defeated by someone when he went to challenge Jiuxuan City back then.
Fortunately, he was not crushed by that defeat and has instead worked even harder over these years."
"Let me act as a mediator here; Centurion Zhou Lie, this kid, is not bad by nature. After being defeated back then, he found it hard to accept failure again, which is why he had a small conflict with you. I hope you won't mind."
"If possible, I will have him apologize to you; please don't take this small matter to heart."
"Mm."
Han Xuanji nodded, naturally giving this "Big Brother" of his some Face.
Centurion Zhou Lie's little tricks hadn't caused him any impact anyway; he had long since stopped taking them seriously.
After all, it was impossible for him to be liked by everyone; sometimes, he might have offended more people than he imagined without even realizing it.
"But if he continues to look for trouble with me..."
Han Xuanji said indifferently.
"That will not happen."
Commander He Guanshan's tone was calm, but the implication needed no further explanation.
Han Xuanji nodded and didn't say anything more. Seeing Han Xuanji lightly let the matter go, Commander He Guanshan also breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he naturally did not want the two to have any conflict.
"Many of the Prodigies who came this time are direct descendants of the major families in Jiuxuan City, as well as True Disciples from those Saint Sects. They have received top-tier resources from a young age and are no simple figures."
Commander He Guanshan looked at him, his gaze filled with a bit of worry: "Although your talent is exceptional, you started late, and your foundation may not compare to theirs. In this assembly, the focus is on participation; there is no need to force a ranking."
Commander He Guanshan's words were both a reminder and a show of concern.
He worried that because Han Xuanji was invincible in Qianhun City, he might become arrogant and suffer damage to his Dao Heart if defeated by a true Prodigy at the assembly.
Han Xuanji heard the good intentions in his words but did not explain, only nodding: "I understand."
He knew the other party probably didn't think he could win against those people.
Seeing his calm expression, without a hint of arrogance or fear, Commander He Guanshan nodded inwardly.
This Heart-Nature already surpassed most Prodigies.
"However, you don't need to worry too much."
Commander He Guanshan changed the subject and smiled: "Although you were only ranked as an Earth-Grade seed in the assembly's seeding, that is because your previous battle record is too sparse, and your Legacy is unknown; the people at the Great Dao Assembly do not understand your strength."
"Actually, based on your performance in the battle where you defeated Centurion Zhou Lie, I think it wouldn't have been impossible to be ranked as a Heaven-Grade seed."
"But Earth-Grade seed isn't bad either; at least you don't have to fight in the first few rounds and will advance directly to the top 128."
Han Xuanji smiled slightly and didn't respond.
He had roughly scanned the list that Hun Qianxue sent him; the densely packed names on it each possessed extraordinary backgrounds and battle records.
Like Sword Young Master Ling Cang of the Ling Family in Jiuxuan City, Yuan Jiuyang of the Yuan Family, Chen Qingzhi of the Qingyin Sect, and those Prodigies from other great states... Every one of these people had formidable battle records and were hard to find an equal for in the same Realm.
They were all Prodigies with the hope of stepping into the Saint Realm, figures capable of challenging across Realms.
If it were before entering the Creation Platform, facing so many strong enemies, Han Xuanji wouldn't have had much confidence.
But now, it was different.
After entering the Creation Platform, he had successively condensed the Law of Creation and the Law of Destruction, and achieved Minor Achievement in the Undying Creation Body... These gains had greatly increased his confidence.
"It seems I will have to reveal more of my strength."
This thought flashed through Han Xuanji's mind, but his Face remained calm.
He was not someone who loved to show off, but sometimes, standing out was unavoidable.
This Law Conference was being watched by the Holy Lord Jiuxuan, hosted by the Great Dao Assembly, and gathered Prodigies from all sides. This was not just a competition, but a stage to showcase oneself.
With the System to cover for him, he wasn't worried about his trump cards being fully exposed.
As long as he didn't attract the attention of existences at the level of Saint Kings, it would be enough to muddle through.
And how would existences of that level pay attention to a small Eternal Dao Lord?
"After so many years of secluded cultivation, my cultivation base should be put to the test in actual combat."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
The main thing was that he also wanted to weigh just what level his current strength stood at among the top-tier Prodigies of the Eternal Continent.
Seeing him not speaking, Commander He Guanshan thought he was worried, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think too much, just do your best."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the assembly venue."
"If you don't appear soon, that guy Hun Qianxue will be so anxious he'll come to the Creation Platform to find you himself."
Recalling the messages from Hun Qianxue that became more urgent one after another, the corners of Han Xuanji's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Then I will have to trouble you, Big Brother He Guanshan."
Commander He Guanshan laughed and turned to walk out of the corridor.
Han Xuanji followed behind him, the two figures moving one after the other, passing through the bamboo forest, through the Huben Legion's encampment, and heading towards the center of Qianhun City.
Along the way, Commander He Guanshan asked a few more questions about his cultivation situation; Han Xuanji picked what he could say and shared a few words, and Commander He Guanshan didn't press for more, only nodding from time to time.
"Right."
Commander He Guanshan suddenly remembered something: "Centurion Zhou Lie is also participating in the assembly this time and was rated as an Earth-Grade seed, just like you."
"He is holding back a burst of energy, wanting to prove himself at the assembly."
"If you run into him, don't be careless."
Han Xuanji nodded: "Centurion Zhou Lie has a tenacious Heart-Nature and will surely achieve great things sooner or later."
Commander He Guanshan glanced at him, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes.
The two stopped talking and quickened their pace.
In the direction of the center of Qianhun City, the voices were boisterous, and spiritual light soared into the sky.
The Law Conference was in full swing.
The entire plaza covered a huge area, spanning several thousand zhang.
Projections of various sizes appeared in the center of the plaza; the more intense the battle, the larger the image.
The appearance of Han Xuanji and Commander He Guanshan did attract some people's attention.
After all, Han Xuanji's fame in Qianhun City was quite significant, and many people knew him.
Seeing Han Xuanji's arrival, many people's gazes became strange.
In their gazes, there was a hint of watching a show. This was also easy to understand.
After all, how imposing was Han Xuanji before?
He was an S-rank Talent the moment he joined the Hun Family, defeated Baili Qianchi, swept away the former number one Prodigy of Qianhun City, Centurion Zhou Lie, and seemed to have never tasted the flavor of defeat.
