C247 Shame on You
At this time, a minister responsible for checking the results of 128 people walked out from within Skysplit Tower.
Everyone suddenly became silent. They knew that it was time to announce the results.
"In this year's Emperor Board Dao Discussion, a total of 128 people have passed the Skysplit Tower's checkpoint. Now, I will read out the names of those who have passed. Those who haven't read the names will be considered eliminated."
The official's gaze swept across the 128 people who had just returned from the trial, and his eyes flickered with excitement.
"40th: Qian Ming, 39th: Zhou Long..."
The names were read out from the official's mouth, and the people who were called had joyful expressions on their faces. They automatically stood in the middle of the group that was about to advance.
Those who did not read the names were feeling nervous. Only true geniuses would have confidence on their faces.
Very quickly, the names of the top 30 candidates were announced. Yun Jie and Zhan Ni entered the top 30 rankings one after another. It was already quite good that their cultivation was able to achieve such a result.
"Tenth place: Huang Chong, ninth place: Ji Lin."
Following that, the minister called out the ninth and tenth places. These two people came from the Divine General Academy and Azure Dragon Martial Pavilion respectively, and it instantly caused the people from both sides to cheer.
"I haven't seen Ye Feng's name for a long time. Could it be that he hasn't entered the 40 people who have advanced?"
A voice sounded out from the crowd, causing many people to look at Ye Feng, as if they were very interested in his ranking.
However, Ye Feng didn't care about the gazes of these people. He just calmly waited. Because, only he knew his ranking.
"Eighth place: Ming Xuan, seventh place: Long Shaojie, sixth place: Jiang Shengling."
Another three names came out from the official's mouth.
Hearing the official's words, Jiang Shengling's expression immediately became ugly. He had previously thought that he could at least enter the top five. But now, he was only in the sixth place, which was not what he had expected.
"Number five: Mu Yan. Number four: Great Sage of Heaven's Desire. Number three: Zhao Xing. Number two: Ouyang Zhen. Number five: Mu Yan. Number four: Great Sage of Heaven's Desire. Number three: Zhao Xing. Number two: Ouyang Zhen."
When Jiang Shengling and experts's expressions were slightly ugly, the minister once again announced the names of the people ranked fifth to second.
Immediately, the crowd's eyes lit up. When Mu Yan heard his name appearing at the fifth place, his proud expression froze.
He thought that his performance in Skysplit Tower was already good. He had passed all the obstacles along the way and had thought that he would be able to enter the top three, but now he was only in the fifth position.
However, this wasn't a big deal. After all, the final ranking of the Emperor Board Dao Discussion would be decided in the third round of the arena matches. So long as he performed excellently in the arena matches, then he would similarly be able to obtain a good ranking.
Presently, all the geniuses that ought to be announced had been announced, so who would be the person that created the new record?
"First place: Ye Feng!"
However, when everyone thought that there was still a doubt about the first place, the official announced the first place.
"First place: Ye Feng! How was this possible? Did I hear it wrong? How could the first place be that brat who is only at the peak of the Qi Condensation level 7? This is unbelievable!"
When Ye Feng's name was announced at the last moment, many people's bodies trembled violently, and their faces were filled with shock.
Mu Yan and the people from the Mu Family, Divine General Academy, Azure Dragon Martial Pavilion, and the others' expressions froze on their faces. Such an outcome was truly unacceptable to them.
Qian Elder, First Prince, Zhao Yang, and ChenChen were all stunned. Their eyes fell upon Ye Feng, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Second Prince, Zhao Ye, and Princess Zhao Xinyi had joyful smiles on their faces.
Especially Zhao Xinyi, her smile was like a blooming flower, charming and charming.
The most awkward person on the scene was none other than the person in the Saint King's Manor.
Previously, they thought that the person who created the new record was their Young Prince Zhao Xing. Because of this, they celebrated in advance.
There were even many important officials in the court congratulating Saint King, and Saint King accepted them one by one.
But now, Young Prince, who was in first place, was replaced by Ye Feng.
This made the Saint King's Manor experts feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, causing his heart to turn cold. He had even thrown away his face to his grandmother's house.
"The first place is actually him!"
Saint King's face turned green and white. He looked at Ye Feng with a cold gaze. Putting aside the grudge between Saint Ruler and the Ye Family, this action alone had caused Saint Ruler to hate Ye Feng. He thought that Ye Feng was the one who caused his Saint King's Manor to be humiliated in front of everyone, causing him to lose all his face.
In the direction of the Tianxuan Mansion camp, everyone was boiling with excitement. Many people from the Tianxuan Mansion, Elder, were looking at Ye Feng with respect.
Sure enough, his number one genius from the Martial Mansion, Young Genius, didn't disappoint them. Under the circumstances where all the major powers in the Imperial City were mocking the Tianxuan Mansion, he used his own actions to slap those people in the face.
The result of the ninth floor of the Heavenly Connection Tower was unprecedented in the history of Zhao State. Even First Prince, Zhao Yang, who was publicly acknowledged as the number one genius of Zhao State, couldn't achieve such a feat.
"Sir, you said that Ye Feng was the first in the second round of the challenge. Then, I really want to know Ye Feng's results."
A victor didn't seem to believe Ye Feng's name. He wanted to know what Ye Feng's true results were in Skysplit Tower.
"Pass! He passed all the checkpoints on the ninth floor!"
The minister said with an excited expression. He had presided over more than ten Emperor Board Dao Discussions, and this was the first time he had seen someone as monstrous as Ye Feng.
"Pass! So strong!"
After hearing the official's words, the crowd that had just calmed down once again boiled up. They had never thought that Ye Feng's strength would be so abnormal.
Passing the level and entering the ninth floor were two completely different concepts. This was something that those who had entered Skysplit Tower knew very well.
The lines on First Prince's face twitched slightly. He looked at Ye Feng with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
"Royal Brother, I told you before that everything can happen in the event of an accident. You still don't believe me? Do you think I am insulting you? Royal Brother, now, what I said has come true. I can only say that you are no longer the only one in Zhao State. "
Second Prince, Zhao Ye, said to Zhao Yang with a gentle smile on his face. Although it was a sarcastic remark, it didn't make anyone angry when it came to Zhao Ye.
"Second brother, don't tell me that a mere Qi Condensation man like him can replace This Prince!"
After listening to what Zhao Ye said, First Prince, Zhao Yang, naturally felt unhappy in his heart, but he didn't act up immediately. Instead, he asked with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Of course not. However, it's still the same saying, everything must be done with one or two thousand words. "
After saying this, Zhao Ye smiled and did not say anything else.
The two rounds of the Emperor Board Dao Discussion had both ended with Ye Feng breaking the record. For a moment, Ye Feng's name became the symbol of what everyone was talking about.
After all, no one would think that it was a coincidence that a peak Qi Condensation level 7 could become the most dazzling existence in the two rounds of the Emperor Board Dao Discussion.
"Alright. Everyone rested for four hours. The final round of the Emperor Board Dao Discussion will be held in four hours, the arena battle."
Minister presiding said to everyone.
After this round of competition, most of the experts who participated in the competition were exhausted. It would indeed take some time for them to recover to their peak condition.
During the previous round, Ye Feng had been using all his strength. The elemental energy in his body had consumed a lot of his energy. Therefore, he did not waste any time. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate. The other thirty-nine contestants who were about to participate in the last round of the arena battle were the same.
Just like that, two hours passed in a hurry. With the help of the two pills, Ye Feng successfully restored his condition to his peak condition.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to get up. Before this, Ye Feng's cultivation base had already reached the level 7 Peak Stage of the Qi Condensation. Under the continuous high-intensity combat tempering in the Heavenly Tower, he actually felt a slight loosening of his cultivation base, as if he was about to break through to the next realm!1
Another pill that could improve his cultivation base was swallowed by Ye Feng. The medicinal strength instantly flowed through his body through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, continuously nourishing his bones and blood vessels.
In Ye Feng's body, the Nine Transformations of the Chaos Classic circulated on its own. Waves of mixed elemental energy condensed and formed in his body, circulating in all the meridians in his body.
"Buzz!"
A strange sound was unleashed from Ye Feng's body. In the next moment, a pale yellow halo surrounded Ye Feng's body, which was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed.
"What is this guy doing?"
At the same time, many people had noticed Ye Feng's movement and the changes in his body. They were secretly shocked.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is going to break through to the next realm!"
An expert said in shock.
"He actually broke through during the Emperor Board Dao Discussion. This Ye Feng's talent is really abnormal!"
Many people noticed the signs of Ye Feng breaking through and were secretly shocked.
In Ye Feng's body, there was a continuous crashing sound. His bloodline began to surge, as if it was going to boil.
Under the constant tempering of the mixed elemental energy, Ye Feng's cultivation base was slowly approaching the eighth level of the Qi Condensation.
Finally, at a certain moment, the halo around Ye Feng's body gradually faded, and the various strange sound in his body calmed down. He slowly stopped cultivating and stood up.
He could feel that the elemental energy in his body had become even more vigorous, and he was filled with energy, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort.
That's right, Ye Feng had broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Condensation. After breaking through to the Qi Condensation Stage, Ye Feng's strength in all aspects had changed once again, and he had become even stronger.
There were a few aspects to this improvement: strength, speed, agility, endurance and mental strength.
For example, before Ye Feng broke through, he could release 100,000 Jin of great power with one punch. After breaking through, he could release 120,000 Jin of great power with just one punch. This kind of strength even surpassed many second level True Martial warriors, it could be said to be terrifying.
Even without using the elemental energy, Ye Feng's fist was not something an ordinary True Martial level 1 warrior could withstand.
It was said that the gap between the Qi Condensation and the True Martial Stage was like a dividing line, but this dividing line didn't seem to exist in front of Ye Feng.
Mu Yan, Jiang Shengling, ChenChen, and those who wanted to deal with Ye Feng had ugly expressions on their faces when they saw Ye Feng breaking through.
"Alright, it's almost time. Let's start the last round of the arena!"
At the same time, on the main viewing platform, Minister presiding slowly opened his eyes. He stood up and spoke in a clear voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, those experts who were still adjusting their breathing withdrew one after another. Each and every one of them stood up with solemn expressions.
They knew that the true important segment of the Emperor Board Dao Discussion was about to begin.
"A total of four people will participate in the third round of the arena matches. The first group to draw lots will be divided into groups. Every two people who draw the same lots will fight. The victor will advance, the loser will be eliminated, and the Lucky Draw Battle will be divided into two rounds. After these two rounds, those who are still uneliminated will be the top ten participants of this year's Emperor Board Discussion."
Minister presiding briefly introduced the rules of the arena matches to everyone.
Next, the forty people drew lots. Very soon, the first round of the arena matches began.
