Chapter 1160 – Gu Lan
Sky Feather Island had five Exchange Spiritual Halls. The richest Exchange Spiritual Hall was owned by the Sky Feather Island Lord, so no one dared to fight for it. The remaining four Exchange Spiritual Halls were fought over by the remaining forces of Sky Feather Island Zone.
The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was ranked fourth among the forces of Sky Feather Island in terms of strength, and it was the weakest of the four forces that owned an Exchange Spiritual Hall. It was because of this reason that the compet.i.tion for this particular Exchange Spiritual Hall was going to be extremely tough. A total of six four-star powers were going to partic.i.p.ate, but the situation this time was different from before; instead of the Scarlet Sun Race, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race – the weakest force in the area – was partic.i.p.ating.
When the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race arrived at the Exchange Spiritual Hall, they were mocked by the other experts and looked down upon.
“I didn’t think that the weakest four-star power of Sky Feather Island would partic.i.p.ate in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Could the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race have trained a powerful DemiG.o.d genius?”
“Stop joking. I’m sure that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race will send their First Elder out to fight!”
There were always some people in the crowd that weren’t strong but liked to mock others. However, it was true that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race indeed didn’t have any DemiG.o.d geniuses. Apart from the four DemiG.o.d Elders, they didn’t have any other DemiG.o.ds.
The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had five more DemiG.o.d geniuses apart from their six DemiG.o.d Elders. The strongest DemiG.o.d genius was even stronger than the six Elders; this genius was obviously suppressing his cultivation and trying to become a higher-ranked G.o.d.
The other powerful races also raised geniuses like this. Once they managed to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, they might very likely become a Rank Two True G.o.d directly and lead the race. For example, the Scarlet Sun Race, which was ranked in the top ten, had three DemiG.o.d geniuses who were stronger than the DemiG.o.ds of the older generation.
Therefore, most of those that appeared in the compet.i.tion for the Exchange Spiritual Hall were younger DemiG.o.ds. Even if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be far off. It would be a big joke if the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race sent out the First Elder, who was more than a hundred thousand years old.
“I think that the Shark Tooth Race will win this time. Seng Yu has become even stronger!”
“Did you not hear the rumors? The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race found a DemiG.o.d expert and brought him back to the race. Now this genius is partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion!”
The strongest forces partic.i.p.ating were the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and the Shark Tooth Race. After that were the Emerald Green Feather Race and the Scarlet Sun Race, but the Scarlet Sun Race had given up this time. The other races were not in the top ten, so no one thought well of them.
A large arena had been built in the Exchange Spiritual Hall for the compet.i.tion. Stone stands surrounded the arena. Only the stronger forces or True G.o.d experts could sit on the stone stands; the other spectators could only hover in the air and watch.
There were only a few people on the eastern stands, but they were the center of attention. Amongst them was a human with white skin and a handsome face. He had an arrogant and n.o.ble att.i.tude. This was Xi Feng, the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord.
“Martial Uncle, who do you think will win this time?” Xi Feng looked at a middle-aged male next to him with respect.
“I heard that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race recruited a strong DemiG.o.d genius. They will probably win again this time!” This male had a dark and nasty expression, as if he was a ghost, and he spoke in a nonchalant tone.
The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race members were full of smiles. Only one of the youths had a cold expression, and his eyes were closed.
On the other side, those from the Shark Tooth Race felt extremely frustrated and angry, but they didn’t dare to do anything because the person in front of them was True G.o.d Guili, a Rank Two True G.o.d of Sky Feather Island. He and Xi Feng were the judges for the Exchange Spiritual Hall compet.i.tion, and a judge saying that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race would win in front of everyone else meant that True G.o.d Guili was standing on the Blue-Eyed Iced Wolf Race’s side.
However, the Shark Tooth Race believed that True G.o.d Guili would stand on their side as long as they could defeat the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and took out enough wealth.
“Seng Yu, preserve your strength and watch out for Gu Lan from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race!” the patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race said to a large male radiating a fierce aura.
“Ding Hu, help Seng Yu!” the patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race said to another genius.
There were two stages to the compet.i.tion of the Exchange Spiritual Hall. The experts of every force that was partic.i.p.ating would enter the arena, and only the four that remained behind could progress to the second stage. The victor would then be decided in the second stage.
Each force could send out two people in the first stage, but in reality, the mission of the second person was the protect the strongest expert of the race so that they could preserve their strength for the second round.
“Since everyone is here, we can start now!” True G.o.d Guili said in a raspy voice from the eastern stone stands.
“It’s about to start!”
Discussion broke out amongst the spectators.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
More than ten powerful auras instantly leapt onto the arena.
Since there were six partic.i.p.ating forces this time, there should’ve been twelve people on the arena, but instead, there was only eleven. Everyone couldn’t help but look at Zhao Feng, who represented the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.
“They dare to partic.i.p.ate with just one person? Aren’t they just going to humiliate themselves?”
“Doesn’t the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race have several DemiG.o.d elders? Two people would at least increase their chances a little bit! Hahaha!”
“This person’s cultivation is so low. Is the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race sending him to his death?”
Some of those nearby roared with laughter when they saw Zhao Feng. Many geniuses on the arena also revealed disdainful looks.
“I don’t know where you get the courage to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion with just the cultivation of a measly peak-stage Mystic Light Realm!” The strongest expert of the Emerald Green Feather Race had a smile of mockery.
Gu Lan from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Feng.
“It’s him?” Xi Feng’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Feng’er, what is it?” True G.o.d Guili asked.
Xi Feng was a genius that was soon going to the Golden Jade Race with the island lord, and he had been cultivating with even more effort after hearing about the Wild Ancient secret dimension. His strength was increasing very rapidly. No DemiG.o.d in Sky Feather Island was Xi Feng’s match.
“Nothing!” Xi Feng shook his head and ignored Zhao Feng. Although he had a deep impression of Zhao Feng and even sent Chen Yuhai to kill Zhao Feng a while ago, he was about to go to the Golden Jade Race, which was a four-and-a-half-star power. He might even be able to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension. At that point, he would personally find Zhao Feng and make the latter kneel in front of him as revenge for Zhao Feng ignoring him in the auction hall.
Zhao Feng had a calm expression on the arena, as if nothing could enter his eyes. After breaking through to the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, the strength and quant.i.ty of his Sacred Power had increased, and he also controlled the Metal of Wind Lightning now. The DemiG.o.ds in front of him weren’t able to ignite his will to fight at all.
“The first stage of the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall starts now!” True G.o.d Guili said from the stone stand, and the aura of powerful bloodlines rose into the air one after another.
Let’s end it right away! Zhao Feng revealed a cold and decisive look. As long as he defeated everyone, there would be no need for the second stage. He would be the victor as long as he was the only one that pa.s.sed the first stage.
“Hehe, brat, let me send you down!” The genius from the Emerald Green Feather Race that just mocked Zhao Feng charged at him with a c.o.c.ky expression.
Zhao Feng revealed a smile when he looked at this person.
Weng~~
A surge of extremely bright Metal of Wind Lightning formed on Zhao Feng’s hand.
However, right at this moment, the skinny youth from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race spoke in a cold voice; “If I defeat all of you, I can become the victor straight away!”
Gu Lan had the same thought as Zhao Feng, which made Zhao Feng pay some slight attention. However, the other DemiG.o.ds on the arena all looked at Gu Lan with surprise and radiated an ill intent toward him.
“Gu Lan, what are you saying?” The other DemiG.o.d genius from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race next to Gu Lan said in shock. It was obvious that this wasn’t planned beforehand.
Everyone outside the arena started to talk.
“This Gu Lan…” The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had a helpless expression. Gu Lan was a genius of the Sword Dao that he found by accident, and he was taken to the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds from a very nearby dimension.
Entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds before breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm proved his talent. The only problem was that Gu Lan was too direct and only had eyes for battle!
“This person’s so c.o.c.ky!”
“He’s the expert that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race recruited, a genius of the Sword Dao!”
Many eyes landed on Gu Lan.
“Seng Yu, team up and defeat this person!” The patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race revealed a deadly smile, and all the other DemiG.o.d experts started to team up.
Apart from Zhao Feng, all of the other DemiG.o.d geniuses stood opposite the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.
“This person isn’t bad!” Xi Feng said with a hint of praise, as if he was a senior evaluating a junior.
From his point of view, he could defeat the opposing eight DemiG.o.ds easily if he had the help of another DemiG.o.d as well because his strength had reached the level of a Rank One True G.o.d. He could be considered a Quasi-G.o.d.
“Kill!” Every genius apart from Zhao Feng charged toward the two Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race members.
Gu Lan’s eyes suddenly changed as limitless bone-chilling Sword Intent shot out.
Shua!
A sword of ice appeared in his hand and covered the surroundings in a layer of frost.
“Sword of Ice Extermination!”
A powerful Sword Intent radiated from Gu Lan and completely merged into the sword of ice in his hand as he slashed out. An arc of ice instantly slashed toward the DemiG.o.d prodigies.
All of the geniuses felt a bone-chilling pain in their body and soul, and they had thoughts of retreating when they looked at the dominant and lone Gu Lan.
“Reversal Shark Strike!” Seng Yu activated his bloodline and charged out. He held a big water blade and slashed out a fearsome shark with it.
“Ice Force Slas.h.!.+” Gu Lan’s expression remained the same as he struck out with his sword of ice. A heart-shaking storm of ice instantly pierced through the giant shark and froze it.
Seng Yu’s Sacred Power almost completely froze as the remaining Sword Intent of ice covered him. He revealed a look of fear and lost all will to fight.
“So strong!” The other genius of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was overjoyed when he saw Gu Lan was so strong.
“Sword of Ice Extermination!” Gu Lan waved his sword of ice around and unleashed waves of icy Sword Intent.
The entire arena was covered in a bone-chilling Sword Intent, defeating all the experts that had attacked him, including Seng Yu from the Shark Tooth Race and those from the Emerald Green Feather Race.
However, there was always an exception. Zhao Feng didn’t move from the beginning and watched all of this silently. The majority thought that Zhao Feng was scared, and he was soon forgotten.
This means that I only need to defeat him! Zhao Feng’s expression didn’t change.
