Chapter 4044 The Top Ten Has Been Determined

Apart from that, the elders from the Pure Yang Sect, including Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu, were also shocked by Yang Qian Ye’s improvements. Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu were not puzzled, but they did not expect Yang Qian Ye to improve so much. After a moment, many of them instinctively turned to look at Yuan Han Jin, Yang Qian Ye’s master who was a Transcendence Elder of the Pure Yang Sect’s Ping Sheng Faction. Some of them even looked at Yuan Han Jin with a hint of envy.

At the same time, Yuan Han Jin only smiled, clearly not surprised by Yang Qian Ye’s performance. He had known from the beginning how strong Yang Qian Ye was, after all.

At this time, another Transcendence Elder from the Pure Yang Sect sighed emotionally and said, “Elder Yuan, it seems like you already know that your disciple is so strong.”

Yuan Han Jin replied with a smile, “I only found out not too long ago. I have to say that I was surprised by my incompetent disciple as well in the beginning.”

When Yuan Han Jin used the words ‘incompetent disciple’, many of the elders from the Pure Yang Sect could not help but curse inwardly. If his disciple was incompetent, what did their disciples count as? Were their disciples trash?

Another elder said, “Elder Yuan, it seems like Yang Qian Ye will definitely rank in the top ten this time. In addition to Duan Ling Tian, there’ll be two disciples from our sect ranking in the top ten!”

“At that time, our sect will have at least four slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm.”

The Transcendence Elder, who spoke earlier, said confidently, “No. I think we’ll get at least five slots. Duan Ling Tian will likely rank in the top three. If Yang Qian Ye ranks in the top ten, we’ll have five slots.”

The group of elders from the Pure Yang Sect could not help but feel excited thinking that the Pure Yang Sect would obtain five slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm. If they obtained so many slots, there was a small chance that a Nirvanic Elder would even be given a chance to enter the Secret Holy Realm.

Even the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect could not help but feel excited for their Nirvanic Elders.

After all, the more intermediate Emperors of Gods who entered the Secret Holy Realm, the higher the chances of them becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods. At that time, the Pure Yang Sect would cement its status as the strongest force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. This would only benefit all of them.

At the same time, a few young disciples from the Ping Sheng faction just regained their senses. None of them knew Yang Qian Ye was so strong. Although many of them knew him, they did not think much of him. After all, he was just an ordinary rudimentary Lord of Gods previously, and he was weaker than them. How could they not be surprised now? Not only did he become an intermediate Lord of Gods, but he had also somewhat stabilized his cultivation base. His comprehension of the law was quite high as well. It was clear now that he was much stronger than them.

With this thought in mind, a few young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect’s Ping Sheng faction looked at Yang Qian Ye with complicated expressions on their faces.

The few young disciples from other factions wanted to ask those from the Ping Sheng faction about Yang Qian Ye. However, based on their expressions, it was clear that they did not know anything as well. Despite knowing better, some of them still asked about Yang Qian Ye. As expected, all of them knew nothing apart from Yang Qian Ye being Yuan Han Jin’s disciple and that he used to be a rudimentary Lord of Gods not too long ago.

Meanwhile, after Yang Qian Ye returned, Duan Ling Tian glanced at him and said through Voice Transmission, “Congratulations.”

Yang Qian Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian from the corners of his eyes before replying through Voice Transmission, “Although I’m still weaker than you, I believe that I’ll catch up to you one day. At that time, perhaps, I’ll avenge my brothers, Du Qian Jun and Du Po Jun.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight smile. He did not defend himself or explain that he was not directly involved in Du Qian Jun and Du Po Jun’s deaths. After all, he did indirectly cause the deaths of the duo.

…

While everyone was talking about Yang Qian Ye, Lin Dong Lai, the elder of the Howling Flames Sect, spoke, attracting everyone’s attention. He said loudly, “Participant number seven, please enter the battlefield.”

Yang Qian Ye was ranked ninth earlier so it should be the eighth participant’s turn to issue a challenge. However, since the eighth participant had just finished a fight with Wang Xiong, his turn was skipped.

The seventh participant was Lin Yuan from the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect.

This time, most people expected Lin Yuan to challenge someone since he had forfeited his turn previously.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Lin Yuan said, “I forfeit my turn,”

Lin Yuan did not explain, but everyone assumed he still wanted to conserve his strength.

Subsequently, Lin Dong Lai called out, “Participant number six.”

The sixth participant was Tuo Ba Xiu from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan. After entering the battlefield, she looked around. Her eyes landed briefly on Yang Qian Ye before she, like Lin Yuan, forfeited her turn.

It was finally the fifth participant’s turn. He was Ximen from the Green Province Mansion’s Marionette Villa. Previously, he had challenged Yang Qian Ye, and their fight ended in a draw. Similar to Yang Qian Ye, he was not very outstanding in the past and only rose to fame recently. As such, many people speculated that the Marionette Villa had deliberately kept his existence a secret for the Seven Mansions Feast.

“I forfeit my turn,” Ximen said after entering the battlefield.

Duan Ling Tian, who was looking at Ximen at this time, saw Ximen turning to look at him with a strange and complicated expression on his face. Upon seeing that, he could not help but feel puzzled. ‘Why is he looking at me like that? I don’t know him that well…’

Yang Qian Ye, who was now in fourth place, skipped his turn as well since he had just issued a challenge earlier. Hence, it was the third participant’s turn.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield again.

“Participant number three… Luo Yuan from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Autumn Leaves Sect!”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Luo Yuan, who had risen from fourth to third place.

Earlier, Luo Yan was ranked fourth so he could only challenge the third participant. Now that he was ranked third, he could only challenge the first or second participants, who were Duan Ling Tian and Han Di respectively.

As such, Duan Ling Tian naturally had to pay attention to Luo Yuan. He was rather curious if Luo Yuan would challenge him or Han Di.

“I forfeit my turn,” Luo Yuan said.

With this, Duan Ling Tian could only put his curiosity aside for now. However, he knew his curiosity would be satisfied sooner or later since Luo Yuan would have to challenge him or Han Di eventually.

Everyone was disappointed that Luo Yuan had forfeited his turn.

At this time, Lin Dong Lai said, “The second stage to determine the ranking is over. We will continue with the third stage tomorrow. Everyone, you may now leave.”

Since Duan Ling Tian had just defeated Han Di and rose from second place to first place, there was no need for him and Han Di to fight anymore. If no one replaced Han Di and took over the second place, Duan Ling Tian would no longer be challenged. To challenge Duan Ling Tian, the third participant, Luo Yuan, would have to challenge and defeat Han Di first. However, if by chance, Han Di suddenly had a breakthrough, he could also challenge Duan Ling Tian again. It was not uncommon for people to break through under pressure, and it happened many times in the history of the Seven Mansions Feast.

…

Most people could not wait for the third stage of the final round to determine the ranking tomorrow. There were also some who thought that not much would change tomorrow.

“Based on the situation, perhaps, the only thing worth seeing is if Yuan Mo Yu from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect can make it into the top ten. Oh, there’s also Wanqi Hong. However, I think he’ll have to wait until the sixth stage to enter the top ten.”

“That’s when the top ten participants are determined.”

“After a few more stages, the weak will be knocked out of the top ten…”

“Hey, do you think those two top prodigies will be able to maintain their places in the top ten?”

“I think it’s very unlikely. Duan Ling Tian, Han Di, Luo Yuan, Yang Qian Ye, Tuo Ba Xiu, Lin Yuan, Wang Xiong, and Ximen are stronger than them… Do you think those two are stronger than Yuan Mo Yu and Wanqi Hong?”

“I think they’ll definitely be knocked out of the top ten by Yuan Mo Yu and Wanqi Hong…”

…

The next few stages of the final round went exactly as many people expected them to.

At this time, the current ranking was as followed:

1. Duan Ling Tian

2. Han Di

3. Luo Yuan

4. Yuan Mo Yu

5. Ximen

6. Tuo Ba Xiu

7. Lin Yuan

8. Wang Xiong

9. Yang Qian Ye

10. Wanqi Hong
