I Break through Crazily

”What did you say?”

Hearing Wang Bi’Er muttering, Tang Yi asked doubtfully.

”Uh, nothing. I was just saying you’re amazing, Brother Tang Yi,” Wang Bi’Er said, sticking out her tongue.

”You’re just realizing that now? I thought you knew how amazing I was a long time ago,” Tang Yi smiled, not being modest in the slightest.

”Brother Yi, you’re only one point away from first place now. Want to fight another round?” Tang Piaomiao asked excitedly.

If Tang Yi could hit number one on the Outer Mansion rankings before even entering the mansion, it would be an immense honor for their Tang Family.

Of course, second place was also an honor, but the glory of first place was far more dazzling.

”No need. I just came to check it out.” Tang Yi waved his hand and said, ”But you guys, since you’re here, you should give it a try too.”

”Alright, I’ll go give it a shot.”

Hearing this, Tang Piaomiao got a temporary number and excitedly entered the Qi Shield. His movements were incredibly swift. It seemed that even if Tang Yi hadn’t said anything, he had already had the same idea and was itching to go.

Nearby, Tang Shu, Tang Baijie, and Mu Xianling were also brimming with Battle Intent, eager to try.

In the end, everyone in Tang Yi’s group except for Wang Bi’Er experienced a round in the wondrous Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall.

However, due to their strength, there was still a significant gap between them and the West Mansion Outer Mansion Disciples, so they were quickly defeated.

Tang Piaomiao, Tang Shu, Tang Baijie, and Mu Xianling played five placement matches each, and all five were losses. Their records were a miserable sight.

However, they were already prepared for this outcome. They knew their own capabilities and weren’t discouraged. They were just there to gain some Experience.

Becoming number two on the Outer Mansion rankings on your first time in the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall, like Tang Yi did—is that something a normal person could do?

Only a monster could pull that off, and Tang Yi was just such a monster.

As for Tang Piaomiao and the others, they considered themselves normal people, so they didn’t even think of comparing themselves to Tang Yi.

After everyone had experienced a round, their Dui Palace tour for the day came to a successful conclusion. Tang Yi led the group out of the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall.

Upon exiting the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall and entering the corridor, Tang Yi and his group were stunned by the crowds of people coming and going.

Previously, when Tang Yi’s group had passed through this corridor to enter the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall, it had been sparsely populated, with only a few people seen here and there.

But now, the scene was completely different.

The entire corridor was filled with people, a veritable sea of them, constantly moving in and out.

The corridor was originally quite wide, but now it seemed crowded. It even took Tang Yi and his group quite some effort just to make their way out.

Glancing in the direction of the Ranking Hall, they saw it wasn’t just the area around the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall that was like this. The Ranking Hall itself was packed to the brim. The hundred-meter-wide hall was crammed with West Mansion disciples and examinees, all of them staring toward the Light Curtain and buzzing with discussion. The entire hall was a cacophony of voices, with a constant DRONE echoing throughout. It was incredibly lively.

Even so, people were still constantly trying to squeeze into the Ranking Hall.

And that wasn’t all.

After exiting the corridor, Tang Yi and his group were even more stunned by the scene before them.

In the magnificent main hall of the Fighting Palace, the crowd was several times larger than in the corridor. Thousands of figures filled the hall, some discussing, some speculating, some arguing. It was incredibly noisy.

Among these people were disciples from the various palaces of the West Mansion, examinees who had just arrived at Dui Palace, and even Elders of no small Position from the various palaces.

There were also some elderly men whose identities couldn’t be discerned, their eyes scanning everyone in the hall as if they were searching for something.

The entire main hall of the Fighting Palace was in absolute Chaos.

And all these people, whether they were discussing, debating, or speculating, were all talking about the same thing.

And that was...

an examinee with the temporary number 59416 had surged into second place on the Outer Mansion rankings!

This event had caused a massive stir, and everyone was discussing it.

Some were guessing who this examinee 59416 was. Others were debating whether this temporary number 59416 was stronger, or if the number one, Chu Mingyue, was stronger, since their scores were only one point apart. Still others were neurotically searching through the crowd for any sign of examinee 59416.

”Brother Tang Yi, it looks like you’ve really caused a huge stir,” Wang Bi’Er whispered in Tang Yi’s ear, her face full of amusement.

Tang Yi rubbed his nose and said, ”When I entered the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall, I knew my results would attract some attention. But I never expected the reaction from the West Mansion crowd to be this intense. I couldn’t have imagined a crowd of this scale.”

”Well, it’s not like they know that temporary number 59416 is you, so who cares what they think? Hehe,” Wang Bi’Er said with a grin, clearly enjoying the drama.

Tang Yi nodded and smiled. ”Good point. Alright, there’s nothing else to experience in Dui Palace, right? We can head back now.”

The group nodded. Just as they were about to push through the crowd to leave, they suddenly ran into Fang Qingyang coming toward them.

”It’s you? You’ve already tried the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall?”

When Fang Qingyang saw Tang Yi, he tried to force a smile, but no matter how he tried, his expression remained sour.

It was obvious that he wasn’t in a very good mood.

If he had run into anyone other than Tang Yi, Fang Qingyang, in his current mood, might have just ignored them and walked right past.

But the fact that he stopped to talk to Tang Yi showed just how good his impression of him was.

”Yes, we just came out of the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall. Elder Fang, what’s wrong? You don’t look too well,” Tang Yi said with a nod, then asked after seeing Fang Qingyang’s expression.

”Sigh. It’s because of that examinee. Who could be in a good mood after they caused such a huge incident?” Fang Qingyang said with a sigh.

”That examinee?” Tang Yi asked, confused.

”The one who just shot up to second place on the Outer Mansion rankings! By the way, do you know him?” Fang Qingyang asked. But before Tang Yi and the others could answer, he immediately shook his head and dismissed the idea. ”Sigh, a genius like that is probably an incredibly arrogant person. I doubt you would know him.”

Hearing this, Tang Yi and his group all had to suppress their laughter.

’Don’t know him?’

’Of course we know him!’

’It’s Tang Yi, isn’t it?’

Of course, Tang Yi and the others weren’t about to tell Fang Qingyang that.

”Elder Fang, what’s wrong with that examinee? Why are you frowning so deeply?” Tang Yi asked.

”What else could it be? He’s too much of a show-off, and too much of a genius. I mean, it’s fine for him to be amazing, but he could have just ranked somewhere in the top 1000. Then our Dui Palace might have had a chance to recruit him. But now he’s ranked second! With results like that, how can our Dui Palace possibly compete with the other palaces for him?” Elder Fang complained, his expression one of utter regret.
