Chapter 4058: Wanqi Hong Lost… Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yang Qian Ye challenged Yuan Mo Yu and lost after ten moves. Needless to say, no one was surprised by his defeat. They knew he, along with Ximen Long Xiang, was the weakest among the top ten partic.i.p.ants.

Now that Yang Qian Ye and Ximen Long Xiang were ranked ninth and tenth respectively, everyone thought that the duo would be fighting for ninth place after this. It was impossible for the duo to rank any higher than ninth.

“It’s w.a.n.g Xiong’s turn!”

During Yang Qian Ye’s fight, everyone was already looking forward to the next fight. After all, it was w.a.n.g Xiong’s turn since he was ranked eighth.

“Partic.i.p.ant number eight, please enter the battlefield,” Lin Dong Lai called out.

!!

w.a.n.g Xiong entered the battlefield in a leisurely manner. He was still dressed very sloppily. After he landed, his eyes swept past Lin Yuan, who was ranked fifth, and Tuo Ba Xiu, who was ranked sixth, before they landed on Wanqi Hong, who was ranked seventh.

“Wanqi Hong didn’t challenge w.a.n.g Xiong because of the elders of the Wanqi clan. It didn’t occur to methat w.a.n.g Xiong might challenge Wanqi Hong!”

“I think w.a.n.g Xiong is going to challenge Wanqi Hong for sure.”

“I agree!”

The expression of Wanqi Hong, who heard the conversations in his surroundings, darkened.

At the same time, under everyone’s watchful gaze, w.a.n.g Xiong called out, “I challenge partic.i.p.ant number seven, Wanqi Hong, the prodigy from the Wanqi clan!”

Since the crowd had already expected this, they did not react much. Instead, they looked at Wanqi Hong with a mocking gaze.

Wanqi Hong flew into the battlefield with a sour expression on his face. He really regretted listening to Wanqi Yu Ning’s advice earlier. He should have challenged w.a.n.g Xiong instead of Ximen Long Xiang. If he had done that, he would not feel so embarra.s.sed now. He was still unaware that he had given himself away when he looked at Wanqi Yu Ning earlier while they were communicating through Voice Transmission. Otherwise,no one would have known he had been dissuaded by his elder to give up on challenging w.a.n.g Xiong.

It was normal to change one mind when challenging an opponent. No one would have thought badly of Wanqi Hong for doing so. However, the fact that he had changed his mind after listening to his elder, made everyone think that he did not have a mind of his own and was not a.s.sertive enough.

Sometimes, one could learn a lot with just a look.

After landing, Wanqi Hong said in a glacial tone, “w.a.n.g Xiong, if the extent of your strength is what you’ve shown so far, you’re no match for me.”

At this moment, Wanqi Hong was filled with the overwhelming urge to defeat w.a.n.g Xiong. As long as he defeated w.a.n.g Xiong, he would be able to redeem himself.

Faced with Wanqi Hong’s provocative words, w.a.n.g Xiong smiled calmly and did not respond.

Previously, Wanqi Hong’s anger was already almost reaching the boiling point after he fought Ximen Long Xiang. Not only was he pushed back due to his own carelessness, but he found out that Ximen Long Xiang had attacked so aggressively because Ximen Long Xiang viewed him as a touchstone in his quest to challenge Duan Ling Tian. The implication that he was inferior to Duan Ling Tian angered him greatly.

Now, seeing how dismissive w.a.n.g Xiong was of him, Wanqi Hong could no longer hold back his anger. As soon as Lin Dong Lai announced the start of the fight, he swept out like a hurricane. Lightning flashed around his body at the same time. Similar to Luo Yuan from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Autumn Leaves Sect, he comprehended the law of thunder.

‘Oh, he has quite the temper,’ w.a.n.g Xiong thought to himself as he c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. Then, a golden light burst forth from his body and charged toward Wanqi Hong, who took the initiative to strike first. He had no intention of avoiding Wanqi Hong at all.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Everyone watched as purple lightning bolts clashed with the dazzling golden light, producing a gorgeous fireworks display along with a series of thunderous explosions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Unlike those with a higher cultivation base, those with lower cultivation bases could not clearly capture the duo’s movements.

Wanqi Hong and w.a.n.g Xiong continued to fight fiercely after the initial collision.

w.a.n.g Xiong was clearly much stronger than when he fought Yang Qian Ye previously.

‘w.a.n.g Xiong was really still hiding his strength! His strength now is on par with Wanqi Hong, but I don’t know if he’s still holding back…’ Duan Ling Tian exclaimed inwardly. He had already suspected this.

At the same time, Wanqi Hong and w.a.n.g Xiong had exchanged more than a dozen moves.

Wanqi Hong, whose face was flushed, did not hold back at all. He cast his bloodline power as blood qi rose from his body. In just a moment, his strength skyrocketed, surpa.s.sing that of w.a.n.g Xiong.

“Now that Wanqi Hong has used his bloodline power, w.a.n.g Xiong will likely use his bloodline power as well!”

“This fight has gotten even more exciting!”

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, w.a.n.g Xiong’s Divine Energy grew stronger as the dazzling golden light around him grew brighter. With this, his strength quickly overtook that of Wanqi Hong.

In just a moment, Wanqi Hong lost the advantage he had just gained.

Boom!

Before the crowd could react, w.a.n.g Xiong destroyed Wanqi Hong’s attack before sending Wanqi Hong flying back with three moves.

Wanqi Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face was ashen. As he flew back, he looked at w.a.n.g Xiong in shock and disbelief.

‘How is he so strong?’

At this moment, Wanqi Hong recalled how he had aimed to rank in the top three or even rank first before the start of the Seven Mansions Feast. He could not help but feel ashamed when he thought about it. How could someone as weak as him even think about ranking in the top three, let alone ranking first?

‘Why?’

Wanqi Hong was unable to accept this. He was considered a monstrous talent among the younger generation. In the past, he was the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Why were there so many people who were stronger than him now? He could still accept it when it was just Duan Ling Tian alone, but now, there was Yuan Mo Yu, Tuo Ba Xiu, Luo Yuan, Han Di, and w.a.n.g Xiong!

Before the Seven Mansions Feast, the Wanqi clan had helped him to stabilize his cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Lord of G.o.ds. As such, his strength had risen greatly. However, why was it still not enough?

‘Am I really so useless?’

At this time, Wanqi Hong felt unprecedented despair.

While w.a.n.g Xiong flew over, Wanqi Hong was still lost in his thoughts. He only regained his senses when he heard Wanqi Yu Ning’s startled cry.

“Surrender!”

With that, Wanqi Hong hurriedly called out, “I surrender!”

Following that, w.a.n.g Xiong also stopped attacking. He successfully rose from eighth place to seventh place now that he defeated Wanqi Hong.

While they exchanged tokens until they left the battlefield, everyone looked at w.a.n.g Xiong in shock and disbelief. They knew w.a.n.g Xiong was strong, but they did not imagine him to be so strong.

“w.a.n.g Xiong’s earlier attacks aren’t much weaker than those of Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu, right?!”

“That’s right! Moreover, he didn’t even use his bloodline power earlier! If he uses his bloodline power, he’s definitely on par with them at the very least!”

“Did you see how grim Yuan Mo Yu and Tuo Ba Xiu’s expressions are? Earlier, they didn’t look like that at all!”

“It seems like they finally realized that w.a.n.g Xiong is a threat to them!”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression was slightly complicated as well. w.a.n.g Xiong was stronger than he had imagined.

Even the young disciples from the Frozen Mountain Manor were surprised. After all, none of them knew w.a.n.g Xiong very well before this, and w.a.n.g Xiong had also intentionally kept a low profile. How could they know that he possessed such strength?

Everyone finally returned to their senses when Lin Dong Lai called out, “Partic.i.p.ant number six, please enter the battlefield.”

Everyone finally s.h.i.+fted their eyes away from w.a.n.g Xiong to the figure that flew out in the direction of the people from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan.

Tuo Ba Xiu was not only the only female among the top ten partic.i.p.ants, but she also received the resources from all the top forces in the Underworld Mansion. She had shown great strength during her fight with Yuan Mo Yu, but due to an error in judgment, she was defeated by Yuan Mo Yu.

For this reason, quite a few people lamented her defeat.

“Lin Yuan and Yuan Mo Yu are ahead of Tuo Ba Xiu. However, she fought Yuan Mo Yu previously so she can only challenge Lin Yuan now.”

“Everyone says Lin Yuan is very strong, but he has yet to reveal his strength at all. Perhaps, Tuo Ba Xiu might be able to force him to reveal his strength.”

“If she can’t do that, then there’s no doubt Lin Yuan will rank in the top three or even first…”

At the same time, Tuo Ba Xiu said, “I challenge partic.i.p.ant number five.”

‘Lin Yuan!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as he watched Lin Yuan fly into the battlefield. The two people he was most wary of were Lin Yuan and w.a.n.g Xiong, not Tuo Ba Xiu, Yuan Mo Yu, Han Di, or Luo Yuan. Unlike the others, he still did not know the extent of the duo’s strength, after all. Similar to the others, he thought Tuo Ba Xiu might be able to force Lin Yuan to reveal some of his strength at least, more than what Lin Yuan had shown so far.

Duan Ling Tian, who was rather leisurely just a moment before, straightened his back as a serious expression appeared on his face. He had to understand his opponent to ensure his victory. If he wanted to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast, he had to understand Lin Yuan and w.a.n.g Xiong, who had successfully hidden their strength until now.
