Chapter 435 (2/2)

Sixtieth… fiftieth… fortieth… thirtieth… twentieth…

“How can this be possible. It’s surely somewhere in there.” The stage two World Deity, Madam Sang, frowned. Traces of anxiety were clearly visible in her eyes.

The handsome youth garbed in white clothing, Seventh Mei Yu, looked up serenely while showing a faint frown. It seemed as if a trace of worry plagued her also.

They’ve reached the first twenty names. Anxiety started affecting Jing Qiu’s thoughts as well. She watched attentively each new name as it appeared. Where’s Xue Ying? He can’t not have ranked amongst the top thousand..

“Next ranked is… Next ranked is…”

The Xia Clan’s Purple Thunder Emperor, Emperor Yun Hai, the Dragon Mountain Emperor and all the others looked on with nervous expressions.

None of them were able to hide their anxiety.

Even Patrolman Guan and General Tu were now in the same boat. As the rankings went higher, their hopes were also becoming more and more uncertain. Patrolman Guan shook his head. “There’s no way. We have both His Highness, Seventh Mei Yu, and Xue Ying, so there’s no way we did not take any place in the rankings. I wouldn’t dare ask that they all enter, but at least one of them should have.” Nine hundred and eighty five had now already appeared, yet not one of them belonged to the Mountain Wu Starfield.

Before long…

The twelfth name appeared, and then the eleventh.

And finally the tenth name!

“Tenth—Multi-Crane from the Three Spring Star Field.” This name was clearly much bigger than those from before, with a single character practically taking up an entire row in the scroll.”

“Multi-Crane.”

“Ha ha, Master Multi-Crane, you are truly formidable.”

“Ancestor Multi-Crane.”

Celebratory voices could soon be faintly heard coming from afar.

However, silence reigned over the entire courtyard of Patrolman Guan’s abode. Everyone present stared closely at the scroll, taking in every single detail. The scroll slowly unfolded, and a new row was revealed.

“Ninth ranked—Mountain Wu Starfield’s Seventh Mei Yu.”

For a split second, everyone in the courtyard assigned to the Mountain Wu Starfield was stunned.

“Hahaha…” Patrolman Guan finally let out a loud laugh. “He’s from my Mountain Wu Starfield, hahaha…”

“Congratulations, your majesty.” Madam Sang was first to talk.

The white-clothed Seventh Mei Yu looked up, loosened her brows, and softly said, “The experts of the Calm Sea Prefecture truly are numerous like the clouds.”

“Your majesty is unfathomable. Number ninth…you are ranked in the top ten.”

“With your majesty’s strength, it’s guaranteed that the next stages will also be a breeze. There’s no way you won’t get to participate in the Bloodshed God Palace Battle.”

“Amazing, amazing.”

The surrounding people, including even the World Deities, all approached with words of congratulations.

Their compliments truly came from their hearts. Someone ranked eightieth or ninetieth in the ranking battle might not necessarily get a place in the top hundred after the remaining arena battle and survival battle. But for someone placed in the ninth spot, there was essentially no chance that they would not rank in the top hundred, even after two more rounds of selection. In other words, their passage onto the Bloodshed God Palace to attend the final battle there was assured.

The area controlled by Mountain Wu Starfield was booming with tumultuous cheers.

Yet amidst the uproar, the ancestor Deities of the Xia Clan were unable to hide their anxiety.

“How is he still not there. He should have appeared already!”

One after the other, they parsed the scroll again and again.

Alongside the celebration of Seventh Mei Yu’s accomplishment, the rankings displayed had unknowingly already reached the fifth name, and then the fourth.

“Third ranked—Hole Horizon Starfield’s Jiu She.” This time around, the characters were even larger than before, and even suffused with rays of light.

Every living being in the Calm Sea Prefecture Capital seemed to focus on the scroll, all of them memorizing said name. To have taken third place in the ranking battle…just how exceptional would they have to be?

“Second ranked—Temple Comb Starfield’s Zui Gu Ke.” This name was a size larger, and it released dazzling rays of light in every direction.

The entire Calm Sea Prefecture turned completely still. Everyone was watching and waiting…waiting for for the final name to appear!

This one has to be me, the red-haired man tightly gripped the handle of his blade with one hand as he silently spoke in his heart.

“The last one.”

Yu Jing Qiu, as well as the Xia Clan Elders, all nervously raised their heads in expectancy.

Even Xue Ying himself was somewhat jittery as he looked up to see the final name…

“First ranked—” The final ranking was releasing a golden light of exquisite grandeur as it was slowly revealed, letter by letter…

“Mountain Wu…”
