War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Jia Mu Lin was indeed trying to provoke Wanqi Hong, hoping Wanqi Hong would lose his reason when angered. He knew Wanqi Hong was stronger than him, but he thought the difference between their strength was slight. Hence, he thought he would be able to seize the advantage and defeat Wanqi Hong when Wanqi Hong made mistakes due to his anger. However, things did not develop as he had expected.

'Why is he so strong?' Jia Mu Lin could barely fend off Wanqi Hong with his prominent divine artifact. His arms were trembling from the force of the attack.

When Wanqi Hong attacked for the second time, Jia Mu Lin's prominent divine artifact was knocked out of his hands, and he was sent flying back.

Although Wanqi Hong had clearly defeated Jia Mu Lin, he still flew toward Jia Mu Lin.

"Stop!"

"I surrender!"

Lin Dong Lai and Jia Mu Lin exclaimed in unison.

Despite his anger, Wanqi Hong had to stop since Jia Mu Lin had surrendered. If he continued to make a move, Lin Dong Lai could charge him with a murder attempt. Based on the Seven Mansions Feast rules, Lin Dong Lai could kill him for that.

"Wanqi Hong has stabilized his cultivation base?" Ye Chen Feng could sense Wanqi Hong's Divine Energy even though Wanqi Hong had held back.

Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard about this from Ye Chen Feng. When he fought with Wanqi Hong previously, he knew Wanqi Hong was far from completely stabilizing his cultivation base.

Ye Chen Feng said, "Not long ago, I heard that the Wanqi clan spent a fortune in obtainingtop lord-grade Limit Divine Pills that could help advanced Lords of Gods stabilize their cultivation bases…"

Duan Ling Tian nodded as realization dawned on him. He had heard of those top lord-grade Limit Divine Pills before. He usually refined ordinary lord-grade Limit Divine Pills, and even if he had abundant ingredients, he was not confident he could refine top lord-grade Limit Divine Pills.

At the same time, everyone was shocked by Wanqi Hong's strength, especially those from the Fortune Sect. They knew how strong Jia Mu Lin was. In the Fortune Sect, only a few people could fight to a draw with him. However, he was defeated by Wanqi Hong with two moves.

......

"How strong!"

"I didn't expect him to be so strong! I didn't expect much from him after he lost to Duan Ling Tian!"

"That's right! When I heard he was defeated by Duan Ling Tian, I thought his title as the strongest person below the age of 10,000 in the Eastern Ridge Mansion was empty. Perhaps, before Duan Ling Tian showed up, there was no one outstanding so the title went to him. However, that's clearly not the case."

"Hey, if he's so strong, then how strong is Duan Ling Tian?"

The young disciples from the various forces were shocked by Wanqi Hong's strength, and they were even more shocked when they thought about Duan Ling Tian who defeated Wanqi Hong in the past.

Wanqi Hong, who was flying back, naturally heard the conversations in his surroundings. He stopped in his tracks and frowned before he said loudly and confidently, "When Duan Ling Tian defeated me, my cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Lord of Gods was far from being stabilized. However, my cultivation base is completely stabilized now. If I fight Duan Ling Tian now, I'll definitely defeat him!"

A commotion broke out after Wanqi Hong's voice fell.

"As it turns out, he had yet to stabilize his cultivation base when Duan Ling Tian defeated him!"

"If that's the case, Duan Ling Tian might not be able to defeat him again!"

"Duan Ling Tian might even be badly beaten!"

No one questioned the veracity of Wanqi Hong's words. After all, it would be foolish for him to lie. Not only that, but it would also be humiliating for him if he was caught lying later.

'How confident,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes narrowed imperceptibly. Then, he said to Zhen Ping Fan through Voice Transmission, "Elder Zhen, what do you think if I surrender during my fight and challenge Wanqi Hong during the revival stage? Do you think he'd be furious?"

Zhen Ping Fan was stunned by Duan Ling Tian's words. When he recovered, he said, "It's not just him, but the entire Wanqi Clan, especially Wanqi Yu Ning, will be furious." After a beat, he added, "It's useless even if you do that. He would still have three chances to challenge others to secure a place in the next round… unless you severely injure him to the point that he's unable to fight again."

Immediately after saying these words, Zhen Ping Fan hurriedly said, "I'm just joking! Don't get any ideas!"

Zhen Ping Fan was worried Duan Ling Tian might do as he had said.

The Wanqi clan, especially Wanqi Yu Ning, would not let things slide if Wanqi Hong was injured to the point where he would no longer be able to participate in the Seven Mansions Feast. After all, without Wanqi Hong, Wanqi Yu Ning would lose the only chance he had of becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods. He looked calm and gentle, but he was known to be ruthless when he was young. He had annihilated a few small clans in the past over very trivial matters.

Although Duan Ling Tian would be safe under Ye Chen Feng's protection, it was impossible for Ye Chen Feng to keep an eye on Duan Ling Tian all the time.

To Zhen Ping Fan's dismay, Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up as he said, "Elder Zhen, what a brilliant idea! I should really severely injure him!"

Zhen Ping Fan said unhappily, "I said I was just joking, and I told you not to listen to me! If you do that, Wanqi Yu Ning and the Wanqi clan definitely won't let you go. He's like a cornered beast now. If he doesn't achieve a breakthrough soon, he's going to die! The Secret Holy Realm is his last chance. If you take that away from him, I won't put it past him to sneak into our sect just to kill you! If you want to do anything to Wanqi Hong, I suggest you wait until he secures his place in the top ten."

A hint of fear flashed in Duan Ling Tian's eyes when he heard Zhen Ping Fan's warning. If he destroyed the hope of a desperate and dying Wanqi Yu Ning, it was true that the chance of Wanqi Yu Ning risking his life to kill him was very high.

"I understand," Duan Ling Tian said, completely dismissing his earlier thoughts. Although he disliked Wanqi Hong, he was not going to risk his life and provoke a desperate and dying intermediate Emperor of Gods.

…

The first stage of the Soaring Cloud Group round ended smoothly. The revival stage was much more interesting compared to those of the rookie group and elite group rounds.

Those who were eliminated in the first stage were given three chances to issue a challenge. Similar to the previous revival stages, the weaker participants were quickly challenged. Similar to before, no one dared to challenge participants like Duan Ling Tian and Ye Ying Cai.

In the end, there were about 200 people who would be advancing to the next round.

"The Ambitious Group round will commence in three days," Lin Dong Lai before dismissing everyone.

…

After three days, the first stage of the Ambitious Group round started and ended when there were only 100 participants left.

Lin Dong Lai said, "After ten days, we'll determine the ranking of the top 100 participants. In the beginning, there'll be 30 seeded participants. You can also volunteer to be a seeded participant if you feel that you're strong enough. However, you'll be challenged by the other participants. The rankings aren't confirmed until the very end, and only those who managed to hold onto their ranks until the end are considered winners."

The crowd's excitement grew upon hearing that the main event of the Seven Mansions Feast was about to begin. Even the outstanding prodigies from various top forces in the Seven Mansions could not wait for the main event to begin.

At this time, a young disciple from the Pure Yang Sect, whose strength was comparable to that of Ye Ying Cai, opened his eyes that flashed with excitement. He muttered under his breath, "The long-awaited battle for the rankings is almost here…"
