Chapter 636: Unmoving as a Mountain
Xue Wuchang's gaze swept over the crowd. The sixty-four geniuses were now all on the battle platform, either alone or in small groups of two or three.
The largest group was surprisingly Lin Feng's circle, with five people chatting and drinking together. This was completely different from the solemn reverence of the others, as if they took the Snow Domain Grand Competition extremely lightly.
"Congratulations on making it to this round." Xue Wuchang spoke slowly, his voice reaching the ears of the crowd. Immediately, those with closed eyes opened them, sharp light flashing within, while those who were lazy also straightened up a bit, their gazes fixed on Xue Wuchang.
The final round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, the true battle, was about to begin.
"Now, everyone, proceed to the Flood Dragon Stone Platform first." Pointing to the Flood Dragon Stone Platform beside him, although it had only one exit, the massive Flood Dragon's tail was large enough to easily accommodate sixty-four people side by side. The next stage would be the place of battle.
The crowd moved one by one, leaping onto the Flood Dragon Stone Platform and sitting cross-legged at the edge of the giant Flood Dragon's tail.
"Let's go too." Jun Moxi said to Lin Feng and the others. Lin Feng swallowed the last of the wine from his flask, and a rare sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
The final round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition was about to begin.
With a wave of his arm, all the wine on the ground disappeared. Lin Feng and the others stood up one after another, stepping onto the stone platform. Their gazes were all fixed on Xue Wuchang.
"Now, place the ranking jade keys you obtained in your hands, so that others can see them."
Xue Wuchang spoke again. The crowd followed suit, taking out their ranking jade keys and holding them in their hands, suspended there. Who ranked where could be seen at a glance. Although this was not the final ranking, to some extent, the level of the ranking jade key could reflect one's strength.
"Who is first?"
Many had come out later and had no idea who had obtained the highest ranking jade key. They were very curious, especially about who had gotten the first-place key, and wanted to know.
"Hmm?" The crowd frowned. They first looked at Di Ling and the others, but quickly realized it wasn't Di Ling, nor Duan Wudao or Jun Moxi. Di Ling was only third, Duan Wudao fourth, and Blood Fiend even fifth.
"Where are first and second?"
They stopped looking at the people and instead directly looked at the jade keys.
"Over there." Many eyes spotted a shining jade key with the character "one" engraved on it. Their gazes slowly lifted to see who was holding the first-place key, and their expressions froze, becoming quite interesting.
"Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng's heart trembled. And he was only at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm.
Seeing the interesting looks of the geniuses, the crowd also smiled. When Lin Feng had stepped out first earlier, hadn't they had the same expression?
"A lucky bastard, to have that kind of trash get the first jade key."
One person said very unhappily. Lin Feng's gaze slowly turned. The speaker was one of the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind, holding a ranking jade key that was fifty-eighth, almost at the bottom. Seeing Lin Feng, who was only at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, get first place made him uncomfortable all over, extremely displeased.
"Bottom, sixth."
Lin Feng said indifferently, then looked away without looking at the man again. This made the face of the Third Envoy of Heavenly Wind freeze there. Contempt, naked contempt. Especially that "bottom sixth," which fell on his eardrums so harshly and unpleasantly.
Bottom sixth, what a harsh and unpleasant number.
"Trash, if you have the guts, you can pick me to fight first." The Third Envoy said coldly. Bottom sixth, he wanted to use Lin Feng, the first-place holder, to prove himself.
But Lin Feng completely ignored him, disdainful.
After being surprised that the first jade key was in Lin Feng's hands, the crowd saw the second jade key in the hands of the beautiful woman beside Lin Feng, Tang Youyou, which surprised them even more. The Eight Great Geniuses had not occupied the top two spots.
"Alright, now, the third round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition is about to begin. Here, I remind you once again: standing on the stage of the Snow Domain Grand Competition is itself an honor. This honor means that even if you don't achieve a final good ranking, you will still receive rewards from the Divine Palace. So, strive for a good ranking. If you can't get a good ranking, then stay alive. Dead people don't even have the chance to receive rewards."
Xue Wuchang said slowly, making a look of anticipation flash in the eyes of the crowd. Yes, standing on the stage of the Snow Domain Grand Competition was itself an honor, an honor worthy of reward. As long as they lived, they could receive rewards from the Divine Palace.
"Moreover, the higher your final ranking, the better the blessings you will receive."
Xue Wuchang added, further strengthening the crowd's determination to achieve a higher ranking.
"Alright, now, let's begin. Lin Feng, come forward first." Xue Wuchang nodded slightly at Lin Feng. Immediately, Lin Feng stepped forward and stood in the center of the vast battle platform.
"Lin Feng, you obtained the first-place ranking jade key, so aside from the top ten, you can freely choose your opponent."
The crowd's eyes were all fixed on Lin Feng, somewhat expectant, wondering who Lin Feng would pick as his opponent.
With Lin Feng's level of cultivation, he would probably pick someone at the bottom of the rankings, right?
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the crowd. Not many were afraid of him, and many were eager to try, wanting to fight Lin Feng. Defeating the holder of the first-place jade key would certainly be interesting.
In the end, Lin Feng's gaze landed on the Third Envoy. Seeing Lin Feng's eyes on him, the Third Envoy showed no sign of weakness. Instead, he stood up on his own, a cold smile on his face, already prepared for battle.
"Is my first-place key so looked down upon?"
Lin Feng felt a bit annoyed. Looking at the Third Envoy, he said, "Since you want to fight so badly, come down."
The Third Envoy smiled, stepped forward, and onto the battle platform, arriving at the center, opposite Lin Feng.
"Trash is still trash. In a real man's fight, your true colors will be revealed."
The Third Envoy said coldly. But Lin Feng slowly raised his head, looking at Xue Wuchang in the void, and said, "Senior, can we begin?"
"Don't look at me. As long as both of you have stepped onto this battle platform, it means the battle has already begun."
Xue Wuchang replied.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, while the smile on the Third Envoy's face gradually spread.
With a step, the Third Envoy's body rushed toward Lin Feng. A phantom light emerged on him, the power of elephants, the power of myriad phenomena. This Third Envoy was from the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect.
Thousands of demon elephants charged, and a wild power permeated the entire battle platform. The Third Envoy's eyes were wide open, savage and domineering, staring at Lin Feng.
"The power of myriad phenomena tramples everything. You, this 'first-place,' can't even withstand one of my attacks. Just a piece of trash."
Rolling, arrogant words spewed from the Third Envoy's mouth. His body reached Lin Feng, the power of myriad phenomena barbaric and boundless, blowing Lin Feng's clothes. Lin Feng's body was like a willow leaf, as if about to fall with the wind.
"Die!"
"Boom!"
The terrifying power of myriad phenomena descended upon Lin Feng, the wild wind seeming to completely overturn him. The crowd seemed to already see Lin Feng being destroyed by the power of myriad phenomena.
However, when the terrifying roar subsided, and the Third Envoy's long hair danced wildly like a demon elephant, Lin Feng's body still stood there.
The fierce wind blew his long hair and stirred his clothes, making a whistling sound. But Lin Feng himself stood like a mountain, his eyes so calm, looking indifferently at the Third Envoy, who was charging at him like a demon elephant.
"Boom!"
In the crowd, the middle-aged man from the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom stood up, his heart violently trembling. His eyes were full of sharp light, staring fixedly at Lin Feng. What was going on?
"Hmm?"
The Third Envoy also seemed to notice something was wrong. He slowly raised his lowered head to look at Lin Feng. His fists were still in front of Lin Feng's chest, but Lin Feng just stood there very calmly, his gaze calm and focused.
This scene made the Third Envoy's heart tremble violently too, and his body involuntarily shook. The wild power of myriad phenomena instantly lost its terrifying momentum.
His heart dropped to freezing point!
