Chapter 634: The Top Eleven Seats
"Strong liquor is more suitable for men to drink."
Lin Feng looked at the faint blush on Tang Youyou's face and felt a flicker of attraction. She was a very beautiful woman.
"Perhaps so." Tang Youyou responded softly, her head slightly lowered, appearing somewhat distracted.
The crowd watched the two sitting together, speechless. These two seemed quite relaxed. The final decisive battle of the Snow Domain Grand Competition was about to begin, yet they still had the mood to drink.
However, Lin Feng and Tang Youyou had obtained the number one and number two jade keys respectively, so they faced much less pressure. They had the right to choose their opponents; no one could select them to fight.
This way, with Tang Youyou's strength, she had a good chance of making it into the final top ten. But Lin Feng's cultivation at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm was somewhat uncertain. As the battles began, the weak would inevitably be eliminated. Those who remained would grow stronger and stronger. Even though Lin Feng had the power to choose his opponents, if he couldn't defeat even one, what use would it be?
Of course, if the crowd had seen Lin Feng's performance in the Fallen Demon Domain or how he crossed the Flood Dragon Bridge in this Flood Dragon Cave, they probably wouldn't think that way.
Although Lin Feng's crossing of the Flood Dragon Cave involved some luck, without strength, how could he have been the first to step onto that Flood Dragon Bridge, advancing through every challenge until he stood before the ninth person on the bridge?
At that point, Tang Youyou's assistance helped Lin Feng obtain the first jade key. Without everything Lin Feng had done before, the first jade key would have been impossible to get.
"With wine, how can you not call me over?"
A clear voice rang out. Lin Feng, who was drinking strong liquor, looked up and saw Jun Moxi walking slowly toward them.
Jun Moxi was the fifth to come out, obtaining the fifth jade key. He was also surprised. Among the four people he saw after coming out, Lin Feng and Tang Youyou occupied two seats, plus Duan Wudao, that made four. The Dragon Mountain Empire held three positions. Adding himself, that was four out of five. It seemed that in this Snow Domain Grand Competition, their Dragon Mountain Empire side was truly going to shine.
"Come over then." Lin Feng said with a smile. Jun Moxi didn't stand on ceremony. He walked straight over and sat down beside Lin Feng, picking up a jug of Blazing Essence Wine and drinking.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura of bloodthirst erupted in the void. Another figure stepped out—it was Blood Fiend.
Blood Fiend came out sixth, but the moment he appeared, he released an icy, murderous aura, his gaze fixed firmly on Jun Moxi.
"Hmm?"
The crowd was stunned by this scene. Blood Fiend stared at Jun Moxi as soon as he came out, which made people speculate about what had happened inside.
"It seems Blood Fiend suffered a loss at Jun Moxi's hands."
The crowd thought to themselves. When Jun Moxi came out, he was perfectly natural, his whole body fresh and clean, without any abnormality. But when Blood Fiend came out, he didn't look so good—his face was cold, his hair slightly disheveled, and his pale face appeared especially eerie and aloof as he stared at Jun Moxi. This made people take another, deeper look at the low-key Jun Moxi.
To make Blood Fiend suffer a loss—this Jun Moxi was no simple character. He gave everyone a feeling of unfathomable depth.
Being low-key didn't necessarily mean one's cultivation was weak. Moreover, Jun Moxi's demeanor had always left a rather deep impression on the crowd. In any matter, he was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither hurried nor slow, strolling leisurely among the geniuses.
"What did you do to him?"
Seeing Blood Fiend staring at Jun Moxi as soon as he came out, Lin Feng's face showed an amused expression as he curiously asked Jun Moxi.
"While he was fighting Yu Mo, I secretly struck them both with a palm." Jun Moxi said with a smile.
Sure enough, Yu Mo's figure also came out together with Blood Fiend, his expression equally unpleasant as he stared at both Jun Moxi and Blood Fiend. Seventh place—the ranking jade key he obtained was number seven.
"Uh..."
Lin Feng was stunned by Jun Moxi's words, and the crowd was also dumbfounded. Secretly struck Blood Fiend and Yu Mo with a palm?
"This guy..."
Just a moment ago, they thought Jun Moxi had class, but in the blink of an eye, he said something so unsightly. The expressions of the crowd became especially strange. This Jun Moxi was truly an interesting character.
"You did what I wanted to do. This wine must be drunk even more." Lin Feng said heartily after a moment of stunned silence, causing Blood Fiend and Yu Mo's gazes to freeze as they both looked at Lin Feng. What was going on?
Lin Feng had actually come out ahead of them?
"The jade key he obtained should be one of the later ones, right?" Blood Fiend looked up at Xue Wuchang in the void and asked directly.
"The jade key he obtained is the first one." Xue Wuchang responded, making Blood Fiend and Yu Mo's expressions turn extremely interesting.
Lin Feng had obtained the first jade key?
Both of their gazes stiffened. The first jade key meant the power to choose opponents. This meant that as long as Lin Feng didn't want to run into them, they wouldn't even have a chance to clash with Lin Feng, let alone kill him.
"Is Lin Feng going to escape disaster again?"
Their faces turned cold. But how exactly did Lin Feng obtain the first jade key? They couldn't figure it out.
"Better not let me catch an opportunity." Blood Fiend said coldly, then walked to the side and sat down. Yu Mo also found it pointless to stand there and went to the side as well.
"It looks like we'll have to wait boringly. Good thing there's wine to drink." Jun Moxi said with a smile.
Compared to before, Lin Feng felt that Jun Moxi had become a bit more relaxed. Perhaps it was because of their relationship.
Before, everyone from the Dragon Mountain Empire was together. Jun Moxi was vaguely the number one among the young people, so it wasn't easy for him to mingle with everyone. But now, he had come to know and become familiar with both Tang Youyou and Lin Feng, so he naturally relaxed a lot. He no longer needed to deliberately hide anything. He could act as he pleased, doing whatever he wanted.
"It's a pity there's not enough wine." Lin Feng muttered, as if talking to himself.
Tang Youyou turned her head and glared at Lin Feng, then tossed out a Storage Ring. "Inside are all kinds of wine. Drink as much as you want."
"Hehe."
Lin Feng touched his head and smiled awkwardly. Begging for wine was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Jun Moxi gave Lin Feng a look, as if praising him. This guy was really interesting; he understood him.
The imprint on the Storage Ring had already been erased by Tang Youyou. Lin Feng's consciousness could easily invade it and take out wine at will.
Instantly, many fine wines appeared on the ground, making the crowd a little greedy. The fragrance of the wine drifted for miles, suggesting it was excellent liquor.
"Lin Feng, who do you think will be the eighth person to step out?" Di Ling took a sip of wine and asked Lin Feng.
"I guess it will be Seven Emotions Sword Ling Xiao." Lin Feng said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Just a feeling. Of course, it's not necessarily accurate." Lin Feng took a gulp of strong liquor and said.
"Maybe it will be." Jun Moxi looked at Lin Feng. "Who comes out first doesn't represent the strength of the combatants. There are many chance factors involved. After all, everyone excels in different areas. Take Seven Emotions Sword Ling Xiao, for example. A swordsman excels in offense, and Seven Emotions Sword Ling Xiao's attacks are especially fierce. Although I came out before him, I'm not necessarily stronger than him."
"You came out after Di Ling, but Di Ling isn't necessarily stronger than you either." Lin Feng muttered, making Jun Moxi pause, then he laughed.
Just then, a sharp aura spread out—it was sword intent. Then, the crowd saw two figures step out together. As Lin Feng had guessed, one of the two who came out this time was Seven Emotions Sword Ling Xiao, and the other was Six Desires Zither Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Are they lovers?" Lin Feng asked Jun Moxi.
"It's said that Seven Emotions Sword has feelings for Yu Xiaoxiao, but Yu Xiaoxiao's feelings are like flowing water—unmoved. Of course, I don't know the truth of the matter." Jun Moxi said.
"Mm." Lin Feng nodded. Seven Emotions Sword Ling Xiao obtained the eighth jade key, while Yu Xiaoxiao obtained the ninth.
Soon, the tenth person came out—Withered Demon Eye Ku Mu. At this point, all eight of the strongest people from the four great empires of the Snow Domain had come out. However, they were ranked from third to tenth.
Only the first and second places were not within the crowd's expectations. They turned out to be Lin Feng and Tang Youyou.
"The next person will still be from our Dragon Mountain Empire." Jun Moxi seemed very confident, surprising Lin Feng. He looked toward the exit. As it turned out, Jun Moxi's guess was correct. Before long, Qing Mengxin walked out with a light smile on her face, her charm enough to captivate anyone.
