Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Moments later, his pillar shot up to the height of 900 meters!

This scene incited jealousy among many experts. Why was this fellow so lucky?

He had been knocked down several times, yet still came charging back. Were the heavens on his side?

Wang Mang was also somewhat dumbfounded by this, but he prepared himself. As long as he got another jade slip that raised the height of his stone pillar by a hundred meters, he would be able to reach first place.

However, he also knew that he was now the center of attention, and would likely be targeted in the next round, though there was nothing he could do about it.

If he wanted to emerge victorious, he had to face it head-on.

At this moment, jade slips descended from the sky again.

This time, Wang Mang decided to waste no time. He wanted to grab a jade slip as soon as possible in order to win.

However, even before he could grab a jade slip, his stone pillar plummeted from 900 meters to 600 meters, and then from 600 meters to 500 meters, and finally from 500 meters to 300 meters!

“These bustards!” Wang Mang cursed angrily.

“Time to knock you off your perch,” Ao Changkong sneered. His eyes were playful as he crossed his arms in front of him.

“It’s me.” Tian Yu said calmly.

“And me!” The Master of Sacrifice also had a mocking expression on his face. Wang Mang’s expression turned ugly when he saw the three of them admit it. However, he had already expected this, so he suppressed his anger and grabbed a jade slip.

[Jade Slip: Raise the stone pillar’s height by 200 meters!]

Soon after, Wang Mang’s 300-meter-tall stone pillar grew to 500 meters.

Sigh…

He had fallen behind again. When he looked around, he saw that there were a lot of stone pillars that had reached the 500-meter mark, about 20 to 30 of them.

If any one of them were lucky in the next round, the winner would be decided.

At this moment, the jade slips descended from the sky again, and everyone began to grab them as fast as they could. After all, having seen Wang Mang and Yu Shen’s stone pillars increase in height by large amounts, they knew that one lucky break would be enough to earn them first place.

Moments later, Wang Mang quickly grabbed one of the jade slips.

[Jade Slip: Raise the stone pillar’s height by 400 meters!]

After seeing the message, Wang Mang felt helpless.

He was going to be targeted again. If things were bad, he might even have to start over from scratch.

Feeling helpless, he watched his stone pillar rise to 900 feet. However, as he waited and waited, he realized that no one was targeting him.

A quick glance around told him the reason why.

There were more than 30 stone pillars that had reached the 900-meter mark!

Everyone’s stone pillar had risen. Not a single one fell!

What was going on?

Everyone was puzzled by this. It seemed that no one had obtained jade slips that could target others this round.

“The jade slips that made others fall are gone?”

“I’m not too sure, but it indeed seems to be the case.”

“Interesting. Then the next round might not have any as well!”

“In that case, it’s a race to the top!”

After hearing the discussions of many experts, Wang Mang knew that his speculation was confirmed.

This meant that the winner would definitely be decided in the next round!

That was because there were no longer any jade slips that could cause people to fall.

Everyone also realized this, so the atmosphere quietened down, and signs of nervousness could be seen on many of the experts’ faces.

Among those in the running were Wang Mang’s enemies, as well as those he was familiar with, like the Black Bear Emperor, and the Dog Emperor. Xiao Tianquan was as well.

Then, the moment they had been waiting for arrived, and the jade slips fell from the sky again. This time, no one waited, and everyone rushed to grab a jade slip.

Wang Mang was no exception. The fastest had the best chance of winning. Moments later, he had a jade slip in his hand.

[Jade Slip: Raise the stone pillar’s height by 100 meters!]

When he saw what was written on the jade slip, he was ecstatic.

However, before he could get too happy, several exclamations suddenly rang out.

“Look! This guy’s pillar is lighting up!”

“F*ck! This guy is probably number one!”

“Not necessarily. A total of three pillars have lit up!”

“Who is gonna get first? I saw three stone pillars rise and light up at the same time.”

“Damn it! 1 was just a step too slow. 1 also reached 1,000 meters. Why didn’t my pillar light up?”

“Stop complaining. I’m now at 999 meters, and I was the first one to get the jade slip! 1 want to kill someone now!”

Wang Mang was very nervous, as he was not without competition.

It seemed that there were a total of five pillars that had actually reached 1,000 meters, though only three had lit up. Did that mean that he was up against three people? Or five?

Had he made it in time?
