War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Now that the top ten participants had been selected, even if the ranking had yet to be determined, some were overjoyed and some were disappointed.

For example, the forces that the two top young prodigies from the Feudal Lord Mansions belonged to were greatly disappointed. They did not expect that their respective disciples would not even rank in the top ten. Initially, they thought no matter how badly their disciples performed, they still would be able to rank in the top ten. It was unexpected that so many participants who had hidden their strength would appear in the Seven Mansions Feast this time, shocking everyone with their strength.

When Duan Ling Tian and the people from the Pure Yang Sect arrived at the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast in the morning, many people had already arrived and were discussing among themselves.

“I thought that the Pure Yang Sect’s Yang Qian Ye would be able to maintain his rank at fourth place. Alas, he was defeated by Yuan Mo Yu from the Howling Heaven Sect.”

Yesterday, Yuan Mo Yu, the young prodigy from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect, who was ranked ninth challenged Yang Qian Ye, successfully rising to fourth place. After exchanging thirty moves, Yuan Mo Yu gained the upper hand and injured Yang Qian Ye. As a result, Yang Qian Ye surrendered.

“If you ask me, I think Yang Qian Ye didn’t want to surrender. Before he surrendered, I saw him looking in the direction of the people from the Pure Yang Sect. His elder must have advised him to surrender.”

Duan Ling Tian had similar thoughts as well. It was not that Yang Qian Ye was one to ignore the bigger picture, but at the same time, Yang Qian Ye did not seem like the type to surrender under those circumstances.

In any case, Yang Qian Ye, who had risen to fourth place, surrendered and fell back to ninth place.

After everyone arrived, Lin Dong Lai, the elder from the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect, appeared in front of everyone. He swept his gaze around before he asked, “Is there anyone ranked from the 11th to the 30th place who’s dissatisfied with their ranking? Is there anyone who’s going to pay the price and challenge the top ten participants?”

In the beginning, the young disciples of the various forces were confused. After all, many of their elders did not tell them about this, deeming it unnecessary. It was unlikely to say anything unless someone deliberate gate-keep at the tenth place.

Wanqi Hong was in tenth place now. Apart from him, there was no one from the Wanqi clan in the top ten. As such, there was no reason for him to gatekeep. Naturally, he could still help someone who was not from the Wanqi clan but from the Eastern Ridge Mansion, but there was no real reason for him to do so. The other two participants from the top ten were Duan Ling Tian and Yang Qian Ye from the Pure Yang Sect. Their strength was obvious and indisputable; their ranks were unshakeable.

Under these circumstances, no one would pay for a chance to challenge the top ten participants unless they wanted to give away divine crystals for no good reason.

“Is this possible?”

“I didn’t even know such a rule existed. However, I guess it makes sense to prevent people from gatekeeping.”

“I thought I’d be able to pay someone to gatekeep for me, hoping to exploit the loopholes. Alas, it seems like it’s impossible.”

“The Seven Mansions Feast has a long history. The Seven Mansions aren’t fools. If there are loopholes, many people would’ve taken advantage of them. As time passes, more and more rules will be created to prevent people from taking advantage of the loopholes.”

“That’s right. Did you think you can outsmart our elders?”

No one stepped forward in response to Lin Dong Lai’s words. As such, he continued to say, “Since there’s no objection, the 11th to the 30th rankings are now confirmed. Next, we will finalize the ranking for the top ten participants. Among the top ten participants, Duan Ling Tian had defeated Han Di and Yuan Mo Yu had defeated Yang Qian Ye. Yang Qian Ye and Ximen fought, but their fight ended in a draw. For both Han Di and Yang Qian Ye, they can challenge Duan Ling Tian and Yuan Mo Yu again respectively, but they have to defeat another opponent first before they’re able to do so.”

Everyone was very excited. After all, the upcoming fights were definitely going to be fierce and exciting.

Among the top ten participants, only a few of them had fought each other. Most of them had yet to fight each other.

“I think we’ll be able to see the fight between Tuo Bai Xiu from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan and Luo Yuan from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Autumn Leaves Sect soon! I can’t watch the fight between these two participants who received the collective resources from the top forces of their respective Mansions.”

Many people felt the same way.

The other participants were highly talented and had great comprehension skills. They had also been given plenty of resources from their respective forces. Except for fortuituous encounters, they were in a way the same.

However, unlike the other participants, Tuo Ba Xiu and Luo Yuan received the resources from all the top forces in their respective Mansions. One could only imagine how many resources they received. As such, many people who were envious of them were really eager to see how strong they were after being given so many resources. Moreover, during their previous fights, they had held back or forfeited their turns. Now that it was time to finalize the rankings in the top ten, they would definitely fight with all their might.

Apart from that, there were also those who were interested in other participants.

“I’m interested to see Luo Yuan and Tuo Ba Xiu fight, but I’m also very interested to see if Duan Ling Tian will fight again. I wonder if he’ll be able to maintain his rank.”

“As for me, I hope to see Wang Xiong and Yang Qian Ye fight. Among the top ten participants, I think they’re the weakest. I’m curious which of them is stronger.”

“Wanqi Hong only entered the top ten yesterday so he has yet to have a chance to climb higher.”

“Wanqi Hong will be the first to fight after this. Who do you think he’ll challenge?”

“I think he’ll challenge Yang Qian Ye. After all, Yang Qian Ye was just defeated by Yuan Mo Yu yesterday. Who knows if his injuries have healed? He has lost his momentum after his defeat…”

Many people’s attention quickly shifted to Wanqi Hong who would be the first to issue a challenge today. Everyone wondered if he would challenge Yang Qian Ye or Wang Xiong.

At this time, He Yu Xi, who was standing with the people from the Divine Frost Sect in the Consonance Mansion, wore a complicated expression on his face. Before Han Di appeared, he was the strongest prodigy in the Consonance Mansion. As such, he was very arrogant. Although Han Di was stronger than him, he still remained confident. Even if he could not defeat Han Di or rank in the top three, he was certain he would be able to rank in the top ten. Unexpectedly, he was ranked 11th in the end.

After the two strongest young prodigies from the Feudal Lord Mansion were kicked out of the top ten, He Yu Xi had defeated them, and the duo fell to the 12th and 13th places respectively. Similar to him, they failed to rank in the top ten of the Seven Mansions Feast despite their initial high hopes.

At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the various forces in the Seven Mansions Feast looked at the people from the Pure Yang Sect from time to time. They were truly jealous.

The Pure Yang Sect had stolen the limelight this time. All the other forces from the Seven Mansions paled in comparison to the Pure Yang Sect.

“The Pure Yang Sect will get at least four slots this time. Duan Ling Tian has a high chance of ranking in the top three. If that’s the case, the Pure Yang Sect will have five slots. Do they even need so many slots?”

“Five slots… However, if Duan Ling Tian ranks first in the end, it means that the Pure Yang Sect will have six slots!”

“If the Pure Yang Sect obtains six slots, I wonder if they’ll auction off one or two slots.”

“Who knows? Six slots might not be enough for them…”

The eyes of many high-ranking officials from the various forces lit up when they thought about the possibility of the Pure Yang Sect auctioning off one or two slots. Many of them even contacted their sect leaders and clan leaders to get in touch with the Pure Yang Sect. The early birds would get the worms, after all. However, there were also some who were not optimistic.

…

Back in the Pure Yang Sect.

“We’ll get at least four slots? If Duan Ling Tian ranks in the top three, we’ll get five slots? And if he ranks first, we’ll get six slots?”

The Sect Leader of the Pure Yang Sect and the others elders who stayed behind in the Pure Yang Sect were shocked when they heard the news.

They had expected Duan Ling Tian to rank in the top ten. Then, they thought he might have a chance of ranking in the top three. However, later, they received news that there were many strong participants, who had previously hidden their strength, so they did not think he would be able to rank in the top three. It was fine as long as he ranked in the top ten.

Unexpectedly, Duan Ling Tian had also hidden his strength, and currently, he was tentatively ranked first. As such, they had high hopes again that he would rank in the top three.

That aside, they were even more shocked that Yang Qian Ye managed to rank in the top ten.

Even Yuan Ping Shen, the founder of the Ping Sheng faction in the Pure Yang Sect, who was Yuan Han Jin’s father, was shocked, let alone the others.

After learning about what happened, Yuan Ping Sheng sent a message to Yuan Han Jin immediately.

“Did you send him into the Supreme Divine Mansion? Didn’t you promise previously that you’d stop sending your disciples into that place and causing their deaths?”
