“I feel bad for Luo Yuan.”

Seeing Luo Yuan entering the battlefield, many people sighed, feeling bad for him due to his previous severe injuries. Based on the state he was in, it was obvious to all that he had not recovered.

Even Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he saw Luo Yuan.

If Han Di did not strike Luo Yuan the second time during their fight, perhaps, Luo Yuan might be a match for Yuan Mo Yu now. If Luo Yuan was not injured at all, his chances of winning were also high. Alas, nothing could be changed about what had happened. With his injuries, the outcome of the fight had already been decided before it even started. The fight ended as everyone expected it to; he was defeated by Yuan Mo Yu within ten moves.

After his defeat, Luo Yuan stared at Yuan Mo Yun unwillingly as he said, “Yuan Mo Yu, if I weren’t severely injured, I might not have lost to you.”

!!

At this moment, Luo Yuan’s rationality had been overwhelmed by his defeat, and he vented his frustrations on Yuan Mo Yu.

On the other hand, Yuan Mo Yuan was not angered by Luo Yuan’s words. Instead, he smiled slightly and said with an apologetic expression, “I don’t doubt your words. How about this”? After the end of the Seven Mansions, you’re welcome to challenge me anytime at the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect when you recover. At that time, we can have a fair fight. As for this fight, I can only apologize for taking advantage of you.”

Yuan Mo Yu’s words took the wind out of Luo Yuan’s sail, causing him to be unable to vent his frustrations. If he continued to complain, he would only make himself look petty. Moreover, his injuries had nothing to do with Yuan Mo Yu. In the end, he took a deep breath and returned to his position without another word. With this, he was knocked out of the top three ranks and was now ranked fourth in the Seven Mansions Feast.

Many people sighed again at this moment.

“Luo Yuan’s ranking will likely drop again after his next fight…”

“I don’t understand. Why didn’t Luo Yuan just surrender earlier? What’s the point of risking injury in a fight that is impossible for him to win? He should surrender and try to recover as soon as possible. Perhaps, he’ll be able to fully recover in two or three days.”

“That’s right. With that, he might be able to climb up the ranks again.”

Upon hearing these words, some people quickly voiced their disagreement.

“No, you don’t understand.”

“So what if he can climb up the ranks later? He won’t have enough time to enter the top three again. For Luo Yuan who cares only about ranking in the top three, it doesn’t make a difference if he ranks fourth or tenth.”

“That’s right. Look at the high-ranking officials from the top forces in the Divine Morning Realm. All of them are clearly unhappy. Clearly, they didn’t expect Luo Yuan to be unable to rank in the top three.”

Indeed, the high-ranking officials from the three strongest forces in the Divine Morning Mansion wore sour expressions on their faces.

‘Yuan Mo Yu is rather interesting,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he saw Luo Yuan was unable to vent his frustrations on Yuan Mo Yu.

Now that Yuan Mo Yu entered the top three, the fights today had come to an end as well.

…

The next day came very quickly, and a new bout of fights was about to begin.

To everyone’s surprise, Ximen Long Xiang, who was ranked tenth, did not challenge Yang Qian Ye, who ranked ninth. No one considered the possibility of him challenging another partic.i.p.ant since they were all stronger than him.

Similarly, Yang Qian Ye also did not challenge anyone.

Perhaps, if Ximen Long Xiang and Yang Qian Ye challenged Luo Yuan, who was severely injured, they might be able to win and rise in ranks. However, due to their pride, they did not challenge Luo Yuan.

With Ximen Long Xiang and Yang Qian Ye forfeiting their turns, Wanqi Hong’s turn came very quickly since he was ranked eighth. After he entered the battlefield, he swept his gaze across a few people.

There was w.a.n.g Xiong, who was ranked seventh. He had defeated Wanqi Hong earlier.

Wanqi Hong had not fought Tuo Ba Xiu, who was ranked sixth, but based on her fight with Yuan Mo Yu, it was clear she was on par with Yuan Mo Yu. After activating the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, her strength had naturally risen. He knew that if he challenged her, he would lose.

Then, there was Lin Yuan, who was ranked fifth. He had defeated Tuo Ba Xiu. As such, if Wanqi Hong was no match for Tuo Ba Xiu, then he was certainly no match for Lin Yuan.

With this, Wanqi Hong quickly discovered there was only one person left whom he could challenge. It was none other than Luo Yuan, who was ranked fourth after being defeated by Yuan Mo Yu yesterday.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Wanqi Hong called out, “I challenge partic.i.p.ant number four.”

As soon as Wanqi Hong’s voice fell, a commotion broke out immediately.

“Wanqi Hong really has no qualms about taking advantage of others!”

“His actions only make Ximen and Yang Qian Ye look even n.o.bler for refusing to take advantage of an injured person.”

“I don’t think it’s fair to say he’s taking advantage of Luo Yuan. After all, he has no one he can challenge now except for Luo Yuan.”

“You’re right. Among those who rank ahead of him, w.a.n.g Xiong had defeated him and Yuan Mo Yu had defeated him. Tuo Ba Xiu is on par with Yuan Mo Yu so he’s not her match as well. Then, there’s also Lin Yuan who defeated Tuo Ba Xiu. He’s no match for all these people.”

“There’s no doubt he won’t be able to rank in the top three. What’s the point of challenging Luo Yuan? It’s better for him to forfeit his turn and maintain a good image.”

“Although Wanqi Hong was formerly the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, in my opinion, he’s not even worthy to wash the feet of the current strongest person among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.”

When Wanqi Hong heard the mocking words in his surroundings, he almost lost his temper again.

‘Bast*rds! Why didn’t they criticize Yuan Mo Yun for challenging Luo Yuan yesterday? Why are they criticizing me for doing the same? d.a.m.n it!’

If it were not for Luo Yuan entering the battlefield at this time with a gloomy expression, perhaps, Wanqi Hong would have already lost his temper at the crowd.

Luo Yuan’s expression was incredibly bad at this moment. If he was in peak condition, he would have been able to defeat Wanqi Hong in fewer than ten moves. It was only natural that he was unhappy that Wanqi Hong was deliberately taking advantage of his injuries to show off. His gaze and his voice were frosty as he said, “Wanqi Hong, it won’t be so easy for you to defeat me.”

Wanqi Hong, who was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger, sneered upon hearing Luo Yuan’s words. He said, “Luo Yuan, you’re severely injured. You should just surrender instead of fighting me. However, since you’re determined to fight me, don’t blame me for not showing mercy to an injured person.”

Both Wanqi Hong and Luo Yuan were furious at this moment.

Wanqi Hong was infuriated by the ridiculing words from the crowd.

On the other hand, Luo Yuan was still angry due to the predicament he was in. Moreover, Luo Yuan had been thwarted by Yuan Mo Yu’s apologetic words yesterday and was unable to vent his frustrations. As such, he wanted to vent his frustrations on Wanqi Hong now. It did not even matter to him now if he further injured him by doing so.

In the end, although Luo Yuan lost, he managed to severely injure Wanqi Hong.

“You’re crazy!” Wanqi Hong said, wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth. He glared at Luo Yuan, who was also glaring back at him, and cursed inwardly. At this time, he suddenly felt as though he was cursed during the Seven Mansions Feast. Since the time the Seven Mansions Feast began until now, he had been having a terrible time. Although he had risen to fourth place now, he was not happy at all.

Duan Ling Tian could not help but shake his head inwardly as he watched Wanqi Hong leave the battlefield. He felt that it was meaningless for Wanqi Hong to challenge Luo Yuan. So what if Wanqi Hong rose to the fourth place now; Wanqi Hong would be defeated soon anyway.

At this time, Lin Dong Lai called out, “Partic.i.p.ant number seven.”

With that, w.a.n.g Xiong entered the battlefield. Since he had previously defeated Wanqi Hong before, he promptly rose to fourth place, knocking Wanqi Hong down. Then, he challenged Yuan Mo Yu, who was ranked third.

“w.a.n.g Xiong challenged Yuan Mo Yu?”

“w.a.n.g Xiong has shown incredible strength so far. He even defeated Wanqi Hong…”

“Nonetheless, the strength w.a.n.g Xiong displayed so far isn’t as strong as that of Yuan Mo Yu. I wonder if he’s still hiding his strength…”

“Me too! After all, during each of his fights, everyone thought that he was no longer hiding his strength, but he always surprised everyone. This time, I don’t dare to underestimate him anymore.”

There were many dark horses during the Seven Mansions Feast this time, but w.a.n.g Xiong, the young prodigy from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor, was undoubtedly the greatest of them all.

Although Lin Yuan was also considered a dark horse, since many people knew he was recruited by the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flame Sect, no one was surprised about his strength. After all, for the Howling Flames Sect to recruit him, he must have been outstanding.

On the contrary, it was not just the other forces who knew nothing about w.a.n.g Xiong, but even those from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor did not know much about w.a.n.g Xiong. Hence, his strength surprised everyone over and over again.

“I wonder if w.a.n.g Xiong will be able to defeat Yuan Mo Yu and continue his winning streak?”

The young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect, including Duan Ling Tian, looked at w.a.n.g Xiong, who had entered the battlefield, with antic.i.p.ation burning in their eyes. All of them could not wait to see if w.a.n.g Xiong was still hiding his strength. As for Duan Ling Tian, he had a strong feeling that w.a.n.g Xiong was still hiding his strength.

Similarly, those from the other forces were also curious about w.a.n.g Xiong’s true strength.

In fact, even those high-ranking officials from the top forces in the Seven Mansions who were not present at the Seven Mansions Feast were filled with antic.i.p.ation as well when they heard that w.a.n.g Xiong, the dark horse from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor, and Yuan Mo Yu, the young prodigy from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect, were about to fight. As such, many Voice Transmissions were sent to those at the Seven Mansions Feast.

“Remember to tell me the result as soon as possible…”

“Since I’m not here, you have to keep me updated about the fight.”

“You think w.a.n.g Xiong is still hiding his strength? If he ranks in the top three, it’ll truly be amazing!”
