787 Physical Force (1/2)

Chapter 787 - Physical Force

The multi-colored-clothes Kong Feiling was the center of attention for many other disciples. It wasn't just Zhao Feng that was paying attention to her.

Without a doubt, she was the prodigy of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Disciple of an Emperor, Imperial Dao bloodline… she was even ranked on the Genius Rankings of the Great Gan Imperial Prodigies.

In the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, the Genius Rankings contained the top five hundred strongest bloodlines and the top five hundred peerless prodigies.

It was worth noting that both rankings continuously fluctuated. After all, this era was heading into the future, and geniuses were maturing while bloodlines were evolving.

On the stages of the secret realm, amongst all the geniuses of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng obviously gave more attention to Kong Feiling. He felt that her talent and strength were close to Nan Gongsheng's when he was in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.

As if sensing something, the beautiful girl turned toward Zhao Feng's direction, and an invisible mental energy covered the area around Zhao Feng. The ten geniuses around Zhao Feng all felt unable to breathe; it was as if an invisible beam had slashed across them.

Plop!

A True Spirit Realm Outer disciple knelt softly as he fell to the ground.

Only Zhao Feng acted like nothing was happening, and he gave a faint smile.

”That youth…” Kong Feiling was surprised. That youth still acted normally even under her half-step King Intent.

”Senior Martial Sister Kong, that person is the famous Beast Tamer Zhao Feng. Apparently, he's a disciple of an Emperor, and even Duke Nanfeng praised him,” a nearby male in a t-shirt said with a smile.

The momentary exchange between Zhao Feng and Kong Feiling obviously raised the attention of the other geniuses.

”Who is he? He's able to withstand the half-step King Intent of the Head disciple!”

The gazes of many disciples turned toward Zhao Feng, especially the ones from the southern stage.

”He is the Zhao Feng you were talking about?” A light flashed through Liu Tianfan's eyes. Huang Yunhu suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded in agreement, ”It's him.”

Huang Yunhu didn't expect that even half-step King Intent wouldn't be able to suppress Zhao Feng. Only seconds earlier, he was trying to get Liu Tianfan to teach Zhao Feng a lesson.

”You don't need to bait me. I'm slightly interested in this Zhao Feng.” Liu Tianfan looked at Huang Yunhu with a deep meaning, making cold sweat appear on his back. Among the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan disciples, Liu Tianfan's cultivation was only below Kong Feiling's

With Liu Tianfan's strength, he should be able to teach Zhao Feng a lesson, Huang Yunhu thought. After all, the difference in cultivation between the two was just too big. One was at the early stages of the Origin Core Realm while the other was at the peak Great Origin Core Realm.

According to the rules of the Divine Illusion Trials, the chance of Zhao Feng and Liu Tianfan meeting wasn't small.

The rules go by elimination. If one loses seven fights in a row or a total of twenty, they will be eliminated, Zhao Feng thought.

Each stage only took the top fifty, and the four stages would then combine and determine the top sixty. Even the final stage was chosen by elimination.

Why was it sixty and not sixty-five? Because five of the slots were predetermined.

The fighting on the four stages started very soon.

Plop!

”Arghh!”

There was a disciple instantly sent into the air as soon as the fight began. Zhao Feng looked over and couldn't help but shake his head.

Outer, Central, and Core disciples could all participate in the Divine Illusion Trials, and obviously, the disparity in strength between them could be rather big. If an Outer disciple met a Core disciple, they would be defeated instantly.

The rounds continued, and it was soon Zhao Feng's turn, but his opponent… was a weak early-stage True Lord Rank Central disciple.

”I admit defeat.” The True Lord Rank Central disciple immediately gave up when he saw Zhao Feng, who was at the Origin Core Realm.

Anyone with a cultivation of the Origin Core Realm was definitely amongst the top of the younger disciples. Instead of being injured and losing anyway, it was better to conserve one's strength.

Usually, when the strength between the two sides was too big, the judge would announce the result before the fight even finished.

Zhao Feng's first fight ended just like that.

Liu Tianfan had the highest cultivation on the southern stage, and Huang Yunhu was also amongst the top. Any disciple that met these two immediately gave up.

Zhao Feng was essentially a Core disciple in the eyes of others, and he was even more mysterious than normal Core disciples.

Half a day later, Zhao Feng went up for his second match. His opponent was at the peak True Lord Rank, but he gave up as well.

”Boring.” Zhao Feng shook his head, and the little thieving cat on his shoulder also seemed to be bored.

It wasn't that the competition wasn't exciting; there were cases of the underdog winning. However, Zhao Feng had reached the Origin Core Realm, and he stood at the top of the younger disciples. It was a lot different from when he was at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, where Zhao Feng's cultivation was below average. At the beginning of that, his total strength was only slightly above the median.

All battles of the five Overwhelming Prodigies during the early part of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was the same as what Zhao Feng was experiencing now. They were either defeated instantly, or they surrendered as soon as they got up on stage. That was boring as well.

However, the Divine Illusion Trials lasted for a long time; it would take at least twenty days. The Divine Illusion Trials were different from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. The Sacred True Dragon Gathering only needed to rank the top ten while the Divine Illusion Trials would take the top fifty from four different stages, then the top sixty from that group.

For the third match, Zhao Feng's opponent was a cold half-step Origin Core Realm youth – an elite among Central disciples.

This Zhao Feng has only just reached the Origin Core Realm. If I draw with him or perform well, maybe I will be able to attract the attention of some Kings. The cold youth decided. Although the chance of winning wasn't big, he still wanted to give it a shot.

On the stage, the faceoff between Zhao Feng and the cold youth caught some attention, including Huang Yunhu, Liu Tianfan, and Kong Feiling.
