Sweeping across same ranks, this was something that he, Ye Yuan, had been doing all along. If the holy land really had such a genius, he would really be a formidable foe.
“This person is already universally acknowledged to be the candidate for the next holy lord by many people in the holy land! His name is Nalan Chu!” Pei Wenqiang said.
“Nalan Chu …”
Ye Yuan silently remembered this name. Looks like wanting to obtain the slot to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, this person was the greatest obstacle.
But if it were really as Pei Wenqiang said, the competition this time would probably not be so simple.
Those so-called Seventh Level Boundless powerhouses might not be able to laugh till the end.
After all, cultivation realm was not everything in martial artist battles.
To ordinary martial artists, Seventh Level Boundless versus Sixth Level Boundless, the former was absolutely overwhelming. This is because their cultivation did not vary to a degree sufficient to reverse the situation.
But what these young geniuses placed the greatest emphasis on was concepts comprehension.
Seventh Level Boundless versus Sixth Level Boundless, the former might not necessarily be able to win.
Putting aside others, Ye Yuan felt that Mu Yun’s strength was probably not inferior to those so-called Seventh Level Boundless geniuses.
Of course, the factors affecting battles were too many. When the fighting really began, nobody knew the answer.
Moreover, the rules of the competition this time was rather ingenious. Setting up these six arenas was in order to pick six arena lords!
The ones able to ultimately guard the platform successfully would obtain the qualifications to enter the grand finals.
This kind of selection method would make the competition between geniuses even more intense. The ones who won, in the end, would also absolutely be the ones with the greatest qualifications to advance.
Because there would already be no one able to challenge them.
According to the rules, the people under the platforms could challenge the people on the platforms. If they won, they would continue standing on the platforms and await the next challenge.
After failing, there would still be the chance to continue challenging on the second day. But everyone could only challenge at most three times.
If the three times all failed, then they would lose the chance to continue challenging.
And for the arena lord to want to obtain the advancement quota, they must win a hundred matches in a row, or have no one continue challenging!
Of course, this winning a hundred matches in a row was not that each person had to fight a full one hundred matches. As long as the challenger defeated the arena lord, they could obtain half of the other party’s match count!
Facing such rules, no one could be relaxed either. Furthermore, this was a tug-of-war battle. It could not end in three to five days at all.
One arena lord could only accept 20 challenges each day.
At this time, Ye City’s city lord, Yang Sen, slowly walked onto the high platform and gave a few encouraging words down below. Ye City’s division competition zone’s competition officially began!
However, after Yang Sen announced commencement, there was actually no one who walked up to the arenas for a moment. It was actually somewhat awkward.
These young geniuses were all not fools. They knew that going up right now would be the outcome of being sent down. In the end, they would only be cannon fodders.
Without absolute strength, who dared to go up the platforms first?
“Ye Yuan, didn’t Yang Wenmiao say that you’re very strong? What, not going up the stage to try? With your strength, winning a hundred matches in a row shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Xiang Hao derided.
“Huhu, what’s the rush for. This competition will last for half a month’s time at least,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Xiang Hao said disdainfully, “Tch, no balls means no balls! Pretending for what?!”
Just as Xiang Hao was being scornful, a disturbance suddenly came from the crowd. There was actually someone who was the first to go up the platform!
“It’s Yang Wenmiao! He … He’s actually the first one to go up the stage!”
“My god. This is absolute confidence! Apart from Yang Wenmiao, who dares to go up the stage first!”
“I’m not surprised by Yang Wenmiao being the first one to go up the stage. But I want to know who dares to be the first one to go up the stage to challenge him.”
…
Everyone fell silent. This sentence struck the bottom of everyone’s heart.
The notion that Yang Wenmiao was the number one expert was long deeply rooted in the hearts of people already. Who dared to go up and challenge?
After Yang Wenmiao went up to the stage, he hugged his sword and stood there, slightly shutting both eyes. Yet, the group of geniuses all exchanged glances, looking at each other. There was actually not a single one who dared to go up.
Right then, a person dashed onto another platform, cupped his fists at everyone, and said, “This one is Northview City’s Li Tian! I’m willing to serve as a modest spur so that others may come forward with more valuable contributions! Who is coming up to give guidance?”
Li Tian’s actions aroused everyone’s attention.
His strength was only Sixth Level Boundless. But his intentions were very apparent, which was in order to compare notes with opponents on the stage.
In truth, many people present were all aware that they did not have a chance at all. Their goal of coming was also just for the sake of sparring with these geniuses.
These geniuses were mostly cranes standing out among chickens in the locality. There were not many opportunities to engage in combat with geniuses around the same strength at all. Therefore, the opportunity in this competition was very hard to come by.
Indeed, with Li Tian moving, there was immediately someone who responded.
Another person directly flew onto the arena and matched up against Li Tian.
With Li Tian taking the lead, the other four platforms had people go up very quickly. This great battle also officially pulled apart the curtains.
Ye Yuan was beneath the platforms, watching these martial artists face off calmly. He also had a bit of rough understanding towards Ye City division competition zone martial artists’ strength.
But these people’s strengths were completely lacking to Ye Yuan. Therefore, he did not have any interest in going to challenge either.
Very soon, someone determined the victor on the platforms.
That Li Tian indeed had some strength to dare be the first one to go up the stage. He beat his opponent down the platform directly.
Before long, another martial artist went up to challenge Li Tian. The result was that Li Tian won again.
This nobody, Li Tian, actually won two matches in a row.
Time slowly trickled by. The first day’s battles drew to an end very quickly, but it made people have somewhat of a drowsy feeling.
The first day’s challenge, the experts basically all did not go up. It was all some martial artists whose strength were slightly weaker kicking up a fuss.
One should not look at how some of them won many matches in a row. In the end, it would only benefit others.
The first day’s competition, the only thing worth watching was probably Yang Wenmiao.
He just hugged his sword like that, standing all the way from early morning till sunset. But not a single person went up to challenge.
Experts were desolate like snow, was probably talking about people like him.
The other five arenas fought until they were locked in a struggle, but his place was cold and deserted. Those geniuses did not even look him in the eye.
Ye Yuan was also rather curious if there would be people going up to challenge Yang Wenmiao or not.
After all, according to the rules, as long as no one challenged for two consec
utive days, Yang Wenmiao would automatically obtain the right to enter the grand finals.
On the second day, the competition’s true climax finally arrived!
The moment it started, there was a Seventh Level Boundless genius who dashed straight onto the platform to challenge Li Tian.
This Li Tian’s strength was very formidable. On the first day, he actually won 20 matches in a row, guarding the platform all the way until now.
But the disparity between the middle-stage Boundless Realm and the late-stage Boundless Realm was a little big in the end.
This Li Tian’s strength could not be said to not be strong. But after barely withstanding for a hundred moves, he was finally defeated.
With this Seventh Level Boundless taking the lead, very soon, there were people who could not hold back. Another two Seventh Level Boundless Realms flew onto the platforms. The fights started to become intense!
Chapter 776 - Humiliation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Following Seventh Level Boundless Realms making their moves, the battles on the platforms clearly became much more intense.
To be able to defend the arenas successfully on the first day, not one of them was not a formidable character.
But facing Seventh Level Boundless Realms, their strength was still slightly inferior in the end. Before long, they were defeated.
Right at this time, Xiang Hao finally could not resist and wanted to make a move too. Because he knew that if he did not make a move, it would have nothing to do with him anymore.
Xiang Hao going up was to challenge the last remaining arena lord from yesterday. The two people were both Sixth Level Boundless Realm. Their strengths were almost on par.
“Brother Ye, aren’t you planning on making a move yet? Clear Reed City’s companions have all already went to the arenas before,” Mu Yun said.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Hasn’t Brother Mu not taken action too? Looks like Brother Mu still has some confidence in your own strength.”
“Huhu, isn’t it still all bestowed by Brother Ye? If not for the Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill you refined, I would really not have this confidence,” Mu Yun said with a laugh.
“Oh? Then does Brother Mu have confidence in seizing a spot or not?”
Mu Yun said with a bitter smile, “How can I dare say that I have the confidence in this? I can sense that the martial artists who came to Ye City this time, there is quite a number whose strength are all uncommon. I can only give it my all to go vie for it too.”
Ye Yuan smiled, but his gaze swept over towards the Xiang Hao on the platform. “I didn’t expect that this Xiang Hao’s eyes are on top of his head, but his strength isn’t common. Looks like he has subdued this arena lord.”
Xiang Hao’s cocky manner all day long was very disliked by people. Forget about Ye Yuan, even Mu Yun did not like him very much either.
But his strength was unexpectedly strong. He already beat that arena lord until he did not have the strength to retaliate at all.
Before long, that arena lord directly chose to concede. Xiang Hao became the new arena lord and was actually rather high-spirited and enthusiastic for some time on the stage.
Pei Wenqiang pulled a long face when he saw the situation and said, “This boy acts really recklessly and blindly! Just won a match and he dares to show off like this! Without sufficient strength, this kind of occasion, the more low-profile, the better. This boy is purely drawing aggro!”
Ye Yuan, Mu Run, and the rest all could not help laughing when they heard that.
On the other side, When Wu Jianqing saw Xiang Hao’s manner, he could not resist pursing his lips and said, “This bit of strength also dare to come out and show off. Looks like Pei Wenqiang really has no one available for use anymore! Peng Yan, you go up and trash that punk down for me!”
Peng Yan was slightly stunned as he said, “Going up so early? Isn’t it … somewhat disadvantageous?”
Wu Jianqing said with a cold snort, “With your strength, winning a hundred matches in a row shouldn’t be difficult. Don’t mind those details. Place your sights a little further! Your opponents are not these trash, but those geniuses entering the grand finals! Fighting a few more matches will be beneficial to you!”
Peng Yan’s eyes lit up as he bowed and said, “Peng Yan was superficial. Many thanks for City Lord Wu’s guidance.”
Wu Jianqing nodded his head and said, “Your current strength is still a little weak when facing those geniuses entering the grand finals. Want to obtain a slightly better rank, you have to at least reach Yang Wenmiao that sort of level. Go on then, temper yourself well.”
Peng Yan’s expression became rather solemn. His gaze involuntarily looked towards the Yang Wenmiao, his eyes desolate as snow.
Yang Wenmiao’s might made people dare not have thoughts of surpassing the other party at all.
Peng Yan figure leaped, jumping onto the arena directly.
Seeing Peng Yan, Xiang Hao’s face fell.
This Peng Yan’s strength was very formidable. He was not a match at all! He originally thought that he could stand for a while more on the stage. Who knew that this fellow actually targeted him like so, directly going up the stage to challenge already.
“Are you going down yourself, or do you want me to use my feet to trample on your face down?” Peng Yan said with a scornful look.
Xiang Hao’s face turned black. This guy was so wildly arrogant. He was clearly humiliating him!
“Aren’t you just Seventh Level Boundless? To actually be so conceited to this sort of degree? Heh, if you have the capabilities, come and kick my face!” Xiang Hao said with a cold smile.
He was still very confident in his own strength. Even if he could not beat this Peng Yan, he absolutely would not lose too terribly either.
Peng Yan shook his head and said with a sigh, “I’ve really never seen before such a request. Alright then, as you wish!”
Finished talking, Peng Yan’s figure swayed, and actually became 19 Peng Yans immediately!
Xiang Hao’s expression changed. Spreading out his divine sense, he was actually unable to differentiate which was the real body!
“You don’t need to look anymore. Each clone is a corporeal body. You can’t find it. Stand properly, I’m coming to kick your face!” Peng Yang said indifferently.
His voice had yet to face when 18 figures galloped straight for Xiang Hao directly.
One Peng Yan was hard enough to deal with already, let alone 18?
Xiang Hao teetered on his feet, only to feel that it was all Peng Yan’s figure everywhere before his eyes. Very soon, he could not hold out anymore.
Bang!
One of Peng Yan’s feet landed onto Xiang Hao’s face without any deviation, trampling him down on the platform directly.
“Ouch! L-let me go, I …”
Xiang Hao did not expect that this Peng Yan was actually so strong, defeating him in no time flat.
But just as he was going to admit defeat, Peng Yan stepped a foot on his face again, cutting off his words forcefully.
“En? What were you saying earlier? I didn’t hear it,” Peng Yan said with a loud laugh.
“I admit …”
Another leg. Peng Yan just refused to let Xiang Hao say out ‘admit defeat,’ these two words.
Beneath the stage, Pei Wenqiang’s face was fiery-hot, as if that foot was stepping on his face.
“Bullying people too far! Bullying people too far!”
Pei Wenqiang was livid with rage. Peng Yan’s actions were completely Wu Jianqing smacking his face!
There were so many city lords here. Everyone was all competing on the sly too.
Even losing face was not glorious, let alone being humiliated in front of so many people.
When Wu Jianqing saw the mud-like Xiang Hao, he said with a hearty laugh,“Hahaha! What are all these trash Pei Wenqiang brought! Sixth Level Boundless doesn’t even have the chance to speak at Peng Yan’s hands.”
At this time, there were quite a few city lords with pretty good relationships with Wu Jianqing coming over to congratulate him.
Peng Yan’s strength was plain for everybody to see. He was very strong enough even among Seventh Level Boundless Realms. Obtaining a quota shouldn’t have any big issues.
“City Lord Wu, congratulations! Didn’t expect that your Wenhai City actually had such a formidable young junior emerge!”
“City Lord Wu, congratulations, congratulations! This Peng Yan’s strength is probably the number one person under Yang Wenmiao. Obtaining an advancement spot this time is definitely no sweat!”
Wu Jianqing dealt with everyone’s felicitations, his face pleased with himself.
Peng Yan’s performance made his face feel extra glorious.
While at this time, Xiang Hao was still struggling under Peng Yan’s foot. Xiang Hao still could not say ‘admit defeat’ these two words.
But Peng Yan seemed to have the intention of disgracing Xiang Hao and just refused to let him say out these two words.
According to the competition’s rules, only by yelling out admit defeat or falling down the platform, could it be considered one party winning.
“This Peng Yan is truly bullying others too far! Xiang Hao is already planning on conceding, and he’s actually still humiliating like so!”
Although Mu Yun disliked Xiang Hao, regarding Peng Yan’s close to dehumanizing action, he seriously could not put up with it.
But right then, Mu Yun suddenly felt the wind moved beside his ear. Ye Yuan actually vanished on the spot immediately.

“Quickly look! Somebody couldn’t carry on watching and went up to the platform!”
“This guy is a moron, right? The platforms all have array formations isolating. Not opening them up, how will he enter?”
“It’s even a Divine Traversing Realm rookie. Isn’t this going to meet with a serious rebuff?”
Ye Yuan’s figure landed in everyone’s eyes. It was all faces full of sneering looks.
These people did not feel anything inappropriate about the action of Peng Yan humiliating Xiang Hao.
