Chapter 1678: Advancing Into the Top Ten
Bang!
Ye Changge's body shot through the air like a cannonball. His knees dragged across the ground, carving a long trail of blood behind him. If his physique had not been strong enough, both knees might have been crippled on the spot.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood. No one could tell whether it came from his injuries or pure rage.
The outcome had been decided.
Utter suppression.
A flawless victory.
The entire venue fell silent.
On the elders' platform, the high-ranking figures of the three sacred lands all stared in stunned silence.
Elder Haoling of the Wulei Sacred Land wore a dark expression.
The Pavilion Master of the Yunluo Sacred Land frowned deeply.
Meanwhile, the three Hall Masters of the Dongling Immortal Pool could not hide the faint delight on their faces.
With Ling Feng's overwhelming strength, perhaps he truly had a chance to break into the top five and challenge Shi Haoxuan, Ye Ting, and Ao Jue directly.
Back in the preparation area, Murong Bai stood frozen like a statue as he stared at Ling Feng being slowly teleported away.
The shock in his heart lingered for a long time.
Only now did he finally understand why Wang Qian had surrendered so decisively.
It was because Ling Feng possessed absolute strength capable of crushing him completely.
Even Ye Changge had been utterly defeated.
As for himself, he had only managed to endure two moves against Ye Changge.
Thinking back to how he once looked down on Ling Feng, Murong Bai could only smile bitterly at himself.
He truly had been a joke.
...
Ling Feng casually rubbed the bridge of his nose.
He had already said everything he needed to say. Whether Murong Bai could truly awaken from it depended entirely on himself now.
For the sake of being fellow disciples, Ling Feng had already done enough.
In the following matches, every opponent who encountered Ling Feng chose to surrender without exception.
Even Ye Changge had been crushed completely. What chance did they have?
About a day later, all ten competitors in the group finished their battles.
Not long afterward, the matches in the other nine groups also came to an end one after another.
Buzz! Buzz!
Space trembled violently.
The Gate of Sunset towering atop Long Xiao Sacred Mountain erupted with dazzling golden light once more, blanketing the entire summit.
In Ling Feng's group, only Ling Feng himself remained standing upon the arena.
Ten contestants competing for a single spot.
That was the rule of this stage.
Even experts like Ye Changge and Wang Qian, despite having higher overall strength than many others and qualifications worthy of contending for the top ten, were still eliminated because their total points ranked below Ling Feng's.
Suddenly, the spatial barriers separating the ten arenas dissipated on their own, revealing the strongest remaining contestant from each group.
At this moment, the Top Ten Tournament had officially produced its ten heavenly geniuses.
Ling Feng raised his brows and quickly swept his gaze around.
On the fifth arena stood a graceful and elegant figure.
Her eyes were also searching the surroundings.
When her gaze met Ling Feng's, a smile bloomed across Tuoba Yan's beautiful face. She immediately walked toward him with light, graceful steps.
"Ling Feng, I made it into the top ten too!"
Tuoba Yan bit her lip lightly.
She was not surprised by Ling Feng advancing.
What truly mattered to her was that she herself had also entered the top ten.
One day, she too could stand on the stage of true experts beside Ling Feng and compete alongside him, instead of merely standing behind him as she had in the past.
That alone already satisfied her.
"Um... Junior Brother Ling..."
At that moment, a timid voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz came from the right.
A shy-looking figure slowly approached. She stopped about ten steps away before greeting Ling Feng awkwardly, then quickly nodded toward Tuoba Yan as well.
"S-Senior Sister Tuoba..."
