Chapter 314 - Solemn Promise (1/2)

By this point, the crowd below the ring had already erupted into a frenzy, and chaos ran rampant.

The moment Woo Lejia sat down cross-legged like the prior two Yang Grade powerhouses, the spectators immediately leaped to their feet.

After all, although they were all Yang Grade powerhouses, the difference between the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cla.s.s was like heaven and earth. Even if those who were in Cla.s.s Three or Four had advanced a cla.s.s, they would still remain in the Yang Grade, which would only result in a marginal increase in strength. However, if a Cla.s.s Five powerhouse were to break through…

It would result in the birth of a Supreme Grand Ancestor!

In the face of a Supreme Grand Ancestor, what could a Yang Grade Powerhouse even do?

As such, the crowd’s excitement had reached a crescendo once they saw Woo Lejia sitting down.

Even though Woo Lejia had shown no signs of breaking through yet, the crowd below was already heatedly discussing among themselves.

Naturally, those who were at high cultivation levels, especially those who were also at the Fifth Cla.s.s of the Yang Grade, had acted reserved at Woo Lejia’s actions. Nevertheless, even though their lips were sealed, from the fiery pa.s.sion of their eyes that were fixated on the ring, their true thoughts were as clear as day.

Despite that, just like everyone else, they hesitated, as they were also waiting for Woo Lejia’s results.

As a result, a tense atmosphere engulfed the entire complex.

Although there were some empty rings at the scene, no one decided to use them. All squabbles, be it big or small, were immediately suppressed once they arrived at the scene.

For some strange reason, everyone had unanimously taken a truce once they came.

Compared to Woo Lejia’s results, every other fight was of little consequence.

Although a majority of the people present were unable to discern Woo Lejia’s progress, this did little to impede their interest in Woo Lejia’s results.

Wu Hanning and Zuoqiu Hongyuan remained silent as well. Just like the others, they were intrigued by the situation and were willing to witness it to the end.

Usually, the advancement of a Yang Grade powerhouse into the Extreme Grade was something that took ages to achieve. This notion was ingrained heavily into the minds of the ma.s.ses, and as such, no one had ever thought to go against it.

Nevertheless, at that moment, everyone’s heart seemed to be in sync.

Suddenly, the top-ranked powerhouses perked up. Their eyes were fixed on Woo Lejia, and a glint of disbelief could be seen.

They had sensed it!

The overwhelming and terrifying aura that was radiating from Woo Lejia’s body!

****

Within the imperial palace, five elderly men in lavish clothing were gathered together.

Each of them were the imperial family’s Supreme Great Ancestors, and if any one of them were to appear within the capital, pandemonium would ensue.

Despite that, a solemn expression hung on their faces at that moment.

The strongest faction within the capital was without a doubt, the imperial family, and as such, they had a wide-reaching information network. News of Wu Haohan’s loss and his sudden advancement had reached their ears, and because of it, the supreme ancestors had gathered together. Had it been the birth of any ordinary Cla.s.s Five Yang Grade powerhouse, the imperial family’s Supreme Great Ancestors would not even bat their eyes.

However, the fact that the Royal Family’s secret technique, the simulated spiritual attack had been learned and applied with even more potency by someone else had greatly perturbed the imperial family’s powerhouses.

After all, even among the five Supreme Great Ancestors there, not all of them had mastered this technique; and even for those who had successfully cultivated it, none of them could achieve Ou Yangming’s results. Although none of them had borne witness to Ou Yangming’s feats themselves, from the way their sources had described the situation, they immediately realized that Ou Yangming’s mastery of the technique was even stronger than the countless powerhouses that existed throughout the imperial family’s history.

Perhaps, there were only a handful of people with talents in this particular area that could go against him.

At that moment, the Supreme Great Ancestors were awaiting Woo Lejia’s results.

If Woo Lejia were to truly ascend into the Supreme Great Ancestor rank, Ou Yangming’s position would no doubt shoot up, and surpa.s.s a large portion of the existing Supreme Great Ancestors.

After all, with Ou Yangming at the lead, heavens knew how many more Supreme Great Ancestors would emerge among the ma.s.ses.

Suddenly, all five of them directed their gaze towards the entrance.

A person frantically ran in at a breakneck speed.

The man had a wild but joyful look on his face. He looked as if he was too excited to remain calm.

The five elders glanced at one another. Although the man had yet to speak, his expression had already contained all the information that they needed.

Back in a large mansion within the southern part of the capital, He Hanyang could be seen resting with his eyes slightly shut. However, in truth, the excitement that was welling within him was reaching a crescendo.

Ever since he had heard the news of Ou Yangming’s simulated spiritual attack causing Wu Haohan’s rank to increase, he immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate the matter, and ever since then, he had remained rooted to his spot.
