Chapter 1903: Ye Chen’s Question

Chapter 1903: Ye Chen’s Question Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I searched the entire island, but I couldn’t find Yin Ming. It was as if… she completely disappeared.”

“What’s even stranger is that Yin Ming should be alive, so why is there no trace of her? Something’s wrong!”

At that moment, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

He recalled the scene after the inheritance. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with Yin Ming.

There should be no problem with Mo Lingzi’s inheritance. He had checked it.

In that case, what exactly happened to make Yin Ming want to leave in such a hurry?

There had to be a problem somewhere!

“Alright,” the handsome young man from before said again, “Now, we will announce the 49 winners! Starting from the forty-ninth place, the geniuses of the various sects whose names are called will be invited to ascend the Divine Fire Staircase!”

With that, he waved his hand, and a dazzling crystalline long staircase that was completely red like a crimson appeared in front of everyone. At the end of the long staircase was a gorgeous platform with 49 positions from high to low.

This Divine Fire Staircase and the platform that was connected to it emitted the aura of a divine artifact!

Moreover, its aura was unbelievably strong. It was actually a top-notch divine artifact!

Seeing this scene, the geniuses in the valley let out exclamations.

The handsome young man looked at everyone’s reactions and nodded in satisfaction. He opened the scroll in his hand and began to announce, “49th place, Liu Shengming of the Myriad Mystic Sect!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale-faced young man walked out of the crowd with his head held high and his chest puffed out. His eyes were filled with excitement and pride.

The people who watched Liu Shengming walk towards the Divine Fire Staircase revealed extremely envious expressions.

Soon, Liu Shengming stepped onto the Divine Fire Staircase. His expression changed as soon as he did, and he was overjoyed.

The Divine Fire Staircase could actually refine one’s body!

The handsome young man explained, “The Divine Fire Staircase can refine the body of the person who ascends it for the first time. The higher the ranking, the higher the platform you ascend to, and the better the refining effect.”

When everyone heard that, they looked at the Divine Fire Staircase and almost drooled. They were jealous!

Many of them made up their minds to participate in the Rising Dragon Competition again next year, no matter how dangerous it was.

As the handsome young man read out the names one by one, more and more participants ascended the staircase, including Long Xuan, Ji Xuan, Xing Zitang, Tian Ling, Chi Xia and the rest.

Finally, the handsome young man finished reading the 48 names.

Only the name of the genius who had won first place had not been announced.

The handsome young man deliberately paused for a moment, and everyone’s hearts gradually became tense.

They all wanted to know who this genius among geniuses was!

The handsome young man laughed when he saw this. “The winner of this edition of the Rising Dragon Competition is a genius from the Mystic Moon Sect, Ye Chen,” he said loudly.

At this moment, a young man walked out from the crowd. Everyone made way for him.

Ye Chen’s expression was calm and emotionless. There was no pride or excitement on his face.

Just like that, he calmly walked up the staircase, passed the other qualifying geniuses, and reached the top of the high platform.

Everyone on the island looked at the young man in silence.

They were surprised to see his cultivation level.

Ye Chen had not even reached the Creation realm?

How could such a person be number one?

Many martial artists whose cultivation levels surpassed Ye Chen’s felt dissatisfied. They felt injustice and unwillingness!

However, at this moment, no one dared to mock Ye Chen. This was because mocking Ye Chen was equivalent to mocking those competitors whose rankings were lower than Ye Chen’s!

Ye Chen looked down at these people and knew what they were thinking. However, he did not care.

This was because these people were not on the same level as him.

He was still thinking about the reason why Yin Ming had left.

The handsome man was expressionless. He smiled and said, “Alright, the Rising Dragon Competition is officially over. Congratulations to the 49 qualified people. You have won something that countless geniuses dream of, and are qualified to enter the Divine Fire Academy. Now, stand on the platform and don’t move. We will directly send you to the Divine Fire Academy!”

Just as everyone thought that the Rising Dragon Competition was finally over and was about to leave, a faint voice suddenly rang out from the high platform.

“Wait a minute.”

Wait?

All the qualified people were eager to go to the Divine Fire Academy, but there was actually someone who wanted to wait?

Making the Divine Fire Academy wait?

How bold!

The person who had spoken was the champion of the competition, Ye Chen of the Mystic Moon Sect.

After a moment of shock, everyone revealed unhappy expressions. They already resented Ye Chen for ‘undeservedly’ taking first place, but now he wanted them to wait?

However, Ye Chen naturally did not care whether these people were happy or not. He could not go to the Divine Fire Academy now.

Since he was about to be teleported over, he naturally had to stop them.

The handsome young man was also stunned. However, when he saw that it was Ye Chen who spoke, he still smiled and asked Ye Chen, “What’s wrong? Is there anything else that hasn’t been settled?”

The handsome young man was called Lou Yun. Although he looked young, he had been in the Divine Fire Academy for a long time. He knew very well that no matter how strange or weak the first place winners in the Rising Dragon Competition looked, they were in fact extremely powerful.

If it was anyone else who asked him to wait, he might have reprimanded them. After all, the Divine Fire Academy’s prestige was at stake.

However, since it was Ye Chen, he could be lenient.

When everyone saw Lou Yun’s attitude toward Ye Chen, they could not help but start discussing. What was going on with the Divine Fire Academy? How could their representative be so nice to such an undeserving number one?

Some people even started shouting, “Divine Fire Academy, teach this kid a lesson!”

Seeing this, Lou Yun frowned slightly.

Ye Chen’s expression did not change. “That’s right,” he said calmly, “I indeed have some unfinished business.”

“You can entrust it to your teacher to handle it first,” Lou Yun said, “Or I can give you two hours to settle it.”

When Lou Yun said this, everyone was shocked.

Two hours!

The Divine Fire Academy was actually willing to wait an extra two hours for Ye Chen!

This was a huge favor. The Divine Fire Academy actually valued Ye Chen so much?

Now it was not just the contestants on the island. Even some of the geniuses who had successfully been accepted by the Divine Fire Academy were shocked.

At the same time, many people looked at Ye Chen with intense jealousy.

They were all roaring in their hearts,’Why? Why is this piece of trash able to receive such treatment from the Divine Fire Academy? Why wasn’t I accepted instead?’

The commotion on the island grew louder and louder.

However, just as everyone thought that Ye Chen would accept the Divine Fire Academy’s concession, he shook his head and looked at Lou Yun. “I have a question. In the secret realm just now, other than the eliminated participants, did anyone mysteriously disappear?”

Lou Yun was stunned. He nodded. “This is something I was wondering about as well. There are indeed a few people.”

“Which few?” Ye Chen asked.

Lou Yun could not understand Ye Chen. After all, it was normal for people to disappear for no reason. In the past, he would not ask about it.

However, since Ye Chen was the first to raise the question, he still answered, “The Mystic Moon Sect, Yin Ming, the Hall of Souls, Lin Juelong, the Spirit Immortal Palace, Xia Ruoxue…”

As expected. It seemed that there was a problem with the Rising Dragon Competition.

Yin Ming was not the only one!

Lin Juelong also disappeared!

However, moments later, Ye Chen’s eyes widened. What did he just hear?

Xia Ruoxue of the Spirit Immortal Palace?

Why was Xia Ruoxue here too?

She had mysteriously disappeared in this secret realm like Yin Ming?
