Jin Ling’s Annual Hunting Competition

"The purpose of the hunting match is to search for gifted martial artists. After, Si Da Sect will recruit some. As for the ones Si Da Sect doesn't deem worthy, the imperial and aristocratic families can recruit them."

"Since they're looking for talent, there's a possibility for injury in the big match. However, it won't be uncalled for and bring harm to someone's life. Let alone for the fact that the big hunting match's competitors can only be at Foundation Establishment stage, Meridians stage, and Gold Core stage. There are also guards at Nascent Soul stage and some are from the imperial guards. This can be said to be the safest place and experience."

## Breaking Spirit Mountain

Breaking Spirit Mountain, as the name implied, was a place that ordinary people couldn't enter and return from.

Breaking Spirit Mountain is a mountain range that stretches thousands of kilometers from south to north. Running across all three countries, it was a mountain range far more vast than Cang Mountain.

Breaking Spirit Mountain's highest point was located in the middle of Jin Ling country. There, thick fog swirled around the mountain, all year and there were countless magic beasts that called the mountain home. The ranks of the magic beasts there were quite high, it could be said to be second only to those in the Magic Beast Forest.

Moreover, most of the magic beasts in Breaking Spirit Mountain had lost all rationality, they were completely savage. The magic beasts were cunning and treacherous in a completely different way than the ones in the Magic Beast Forest. The magic beasts residing here were even able to take the shape of a human, so normally, few people would willingly step onto the mountain.

However, because of how savage the magical beasts were, they would even occasionally come off the mountain to harm people. Therefore, the Elders from the four biggest influential families and the largest sects created a large array to prevent the magical beasts from coming down and prevent others from entering.

Afterwards, the four biggest sects suddenly opened up a relatively safe location at the top of the mountain one year. Inside, there were numerous magical beasts at sixth rank and lower which could be hunted, and any other magical beasts weren't drawn to the location.

Every four years, a hunting competition would take place and everyone participating would be sent to this location via a teleportation array. Once they arrived, they would all kill the magical beasts. Every time they killed a magical beast, they would need to obtain an internal pill. This way, they would earn points. Whomever ended up with the most points would be declared the champion of that year's competition.

The more they held this competition, the more Miluo Continent buzzed about it, so naturally, there were more and more martial artists competing each year.

This was because, not only would you obtain good achievements during the big hunting competition, you would also earn many of the large sects' interest.

As for the elite disciples of the large sects, if they were able to perform exceptionally well, they would be able to receive great honor within the sect, earning them much more rewards and resources.

Jin Ling country is actually a very small country, so for the hunting competition to be held here was merely based on the geographical location of Breaking Spirit Mountain.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was a sect or the imperial family handling the event, they would each treat it as a major event. And the people of Jin Ling country who were able to receive an invitation were very few and far between.

## Rules

"Low rank martial artists can cross the restriction barriers to challenge the high rank magical beast areas. However, the strengths of high rank martial artists will be greatly weakened by the array once they cross the restriction barrier into the low rank magical beast areas; they can't utilise one-tenth of their normal cultivation base."
