Word by word, the final name began appearing on the scroll, attracting the attention of all the countless lifeforms present in Calm Sea Prefecture Capital.
“First ranked…”
“Mountain Wu Starfield’s…”
Patrol Master Guan, who had previously been congratulating Seventh Mei Yu, had been holding a goblet of wine; at this moment, his eyes became wide and round, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the goblet. Chi chi chi~ The goblet became even more distorted despite being composed of extraordinary material.
“He is from our Mountain Wu Star Field.” General Tu and the other World Deities were all stunned.
“Right, right, right; it’s me. It’s me.” The half-masked, red-haired male became even more anxious as he looked at the scroll.
Everyone in the courtyard nervously gazed at the scroll.
The many Deities of the Xia Clan, Jing Qiu, and Xue Ying were also looking up at that enormous scroll, as it slowly revealed the full name of the first place contestant.
“Dong Bo!”
“First ranked—Mountain Wu Starfield’s Dong Bo!”
That huge row of characters, located at the very top, was the most dazzling name amongst all those currently glowing brightly, with the largest font as well. Presently, countless lifeforms in the Calm Sea Prefecture Capital were staring at that name. Being ranked first clearly indicated one’s combat power and potential. For that person to be ranked first in the ranking battle…as long as he did not die, he would certainly become a World Deity and have a bright future ahead! He could even be compared to the more extraordinary World Deities.
Patrol Master Guan and the others within the courtyard carefully examined that name, as they were afraid of being mistaken.
They were right!
Clearly revealed on the blood-colored scroll, in those dazzling golden characters, was—‘First place, Mountain Wu Starfield, Dong Bo!’
“Hahaha…”
“Dong Bo!”
“Brother Dong Bo, you are truly formidable.”
“Haha, Dong Bo, I knew you could do it. First place, you ranked first in the ranking battle of the entire Calm Sea Prefecture Battle Selections for the God Palace Myriad Flower Feast.”
Everyone in the courtyard began cheering. Patrol Master Guan, Madam Sang, General Tu, the Soaring Cloud Lake Master, and the other World Deities all came over to congratulate him. Those Deities who lived through the ranking battle, with the majority not harboring an hopes, also came over to congratulate him. After all, they met each other during the God Palace Myriad Flower Feast and were even from the same starfield! In the future, this friendship of theirs might be really helpful, as they could reach out to Xue Ying for help—with said help being provided as long as these minor matters were not of any issue to Xue Ying.
Cheers and laughter gushed up to the sky. The distant caverns from other starfields realized the moment they heard the loud racket—the one ranked first in this ranking battle should be located over there.
“Brother Dong Bo.” The handsome, white-robed teenager, His Highness Seventh Mei Yu, smiled at Xue Ying. “Brother Dong Bo, you must really be formidable to seize the championship within the ranking battle. Close to two thousand starfields in the Calm Sea Prefecture, as well as many outsider Deities who had come to participate…yet in the ends, it’s still Brother Dong Bo who is the strongest.”
“Brother Mei Yu praises me too much. Being ranked first in the ranking battle does not signify that I’ll rank first in the survival battle. Even if I rank first in both, that does not mean I am the strongest as well in life-and-death battles,” Xue Ying replied.
“Brother Dong Bo is too humble.” Seventh Mei Yu’s voice was truly gentle and pure. “You do know that such humility will displease others.”
Xue Ying was dumbstruck.
Seventh Mei Yu giggled after seeing that.
At that moment, Jing Qiu, who stood beside Xue Ying, transmitted to him, “Xue Ying, I am standing right here!”
“Eh….” Xue Ying looked at his wife, transmitting back, “Jing Qiu, is there something wrong?”
“I am next to you, yet you are exchanging glances with someone else at this moment?”
“But he is a man!”
“Who says so! From what I see, she seems like a woman.”
“You are truly…”
“Why, are you unhappy? Do you think I’m intruding on your flirtations with her?”
Xue Ying and his wife Jing Qiu transmitted messages back and forth.
Her Highness Seventh Mei Yu giggled upon seeing Xue Ying and his wife constantly transmit messages and turned away to leave.
“How, how can this be… It’s impossible. I must have seen wrongly; I must have seen wrongly.” The red-haired male looked upward, staring intensely at that blood-colored scroll hanging in mid-air—at those golden characters, especially the biggest and most dazzling name of all. He neither dared to believe nor dared to trust that the name appearing there wasn’t his.
Thereafter, he carefully read through the entire scroll, from top to bottom. He wanted to find the fish that escaped the net; he wanted to find his own name!
But there were only two names appearing on the scroll from Mountain Wu Star Field. One was ranked first, while the other ranked ninth!
“I…
