Upon hearing these words, Fu Tianqi brushed them off.
He looked at Shen Han with a confident expression: "Brother Shen, rest assured, this competition, the Star Tower will certainly let you participate.
Although the Outer Domain sects need to first compete for qualification, for someone like Brother Shen, it won’t be a problem."
From their previous exchange, Fu Tianqi had already gained some understanding of Shen Han’s strength.
With such prowess, Shen Han certainly would not fail to secure a qualification.
If he could spar with someone like Fu Tianqi, then securing a spot in the Outer Domain sect should be a breeze.
"This competition requires a qualification contest? Is it an internal sect competition?"
Hearing these words, both Fu Tianqi and Yi Xingshan were momentarily stunned.
It seemed, Shen Han was indeed quite unfamiliar with this mountain exploration competition.
After a moment’s hesitation, Fu Tianqi took the initiative to explain.
"The mountain exploration should be considered a grand event that we, the younger generation, face every two years.
Each sect from the Inner Domain sends ten people to enter Spring Mountain.
As for which individuals from the Inner Domain sects get the ten spots.
That’s a matter for the individual sects, as each sect has its own rules.
However, Brother Shen, your Star Tower is not an Inner Domain sect.
If I recall correctly, the Star Tower competes with the sects in the Northern Three Domains for final spots.
All the sects in the Northern Three Domains collectively vie for twenty-five mountain exploration qualifications."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han was pensive.
The Northern Three Domains, with only twenty-five spots in total.
While an Inner Domain sect has ten spots just by itself.
This disparity is quite significant.
But there is no choice; the sects of the Northern Three Domains accepting it is already indicative.
The sects are only capable of providing so many participation spots.
"Twenty-five spots indeed aren’t many.
And if nothing unexpected happens, there should be hundreds of disciples from the Northern Three Domains competing for these twenty-five spots.
But for you, Brother Shen, it shouldn’t pose much of a hurdle.
The strength of those individuals is just that, after all.
If Brother Shen remains a bit composed, securing a spot is certain."
Fu Tianqi now had absolute confidence in Shen Han; what level of practitioners are in the Outer Domain sects?
Yet, Shen Han, upon hearing this, didn’t immediately respond.
"Brother Shen, do you have any concerns? This qualification contest shouldn’t pose any obstacle for you."
Yi Xingshan, standing by, chimed in as well.
After a moment’s hesitation, Shen Han finally explained.
"Before coming to the Star Tower, I was actually training in the Cangxuan Valley sect.
In Cangxuan Valley, I made some enemies.
To be precise, I offended even their sect leader.
If I participate in this qualification contest, they will likely think of some cunning tricks to deal with me."
"Cangxuan Valley?"
Fu Tianqi furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment.
"In that sect, I remember there’s a person named Zhao Chao, whose strength is superior to the ordinary disciple.
But that’s about it; compared to Brother Shen, there’s likely a significant gap."
Fu Tianqi offered his assessment.
It’s not that he hasn’t interacted with disciples from the Outer Domain; their strength is merely at that level.
Even if occasionally a few outstanding individuals emerge, they’re merely passable, possessing some skill.
Seeing Fu Tianqi’s slight familiarity with Cangxuan Valley, Shen Han thought for a moment and asked another question.
"In Cangxuan Valley, there’s a disciple named Zheng Changnian, do you know him, Brother Fu?
This person holds a deep enmity towards me."
Regarding Zheng Changnian, Shen Han wasn’t exactly afraid.
Just knowing oneself and one’s enemies makes handling matters much more secure.
Upon hearing Shen Han mention Zheng Changnian, Fu Tianqi thought for a moment and then laughed: "So it’s that showy fellow."
