Chapter 4043: Puzzled

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wang Xiong was not famous in the Frozen Mountain Manor in the past, let alone the Feudal Lord Mansion. Many people had heard of him, but they assumed he was just an ordinary prodigy. However, during the Seven Mansions Manor, everyone realized he was much stronger than they had imagined and that he had been hiding his strength all this time. Perhaps, he had hidden his strength for so long just to reveal it during the Seven Mansions Feast.

Previously, when Wang Xiong had been selected as a seeded participant, it had confused many young disciples in the Frozen Mountain Manor. Similar to the others, they had no idea that he was so strong and that he had been hiding his strength.

Initially, there were quite a few young prodigies who were unconvinced when Wang Xiong was selected as a seeded participant. However, after he displayed his strength, he had silenced their doubts and completely convinced them. Now that he was in the top ten, they even felt proud that they had such a prodigy in their Frozen Mountain Manor. This was only natural since they were from the same force,

At this moment, one of the two top young prodigies from the Feudal Lord Mansion looked at Wang Xiong solemnly and said, “Wang Xiong, I didn’t know there was such an outstanding disciple in the Frozen Mountain Manor. You hid your strength really well.”

As one of the two strongest young prodigies in the Feudal Lord Mansion, he was naturally arrogant. He had never heard of Wang Xiong in the past, and now, Wang Xiong wanted to challenge him. Once Wang Xiong defeated him, he would no longer be known as one of the two strongest young prodigies in the Feudal Lord Mansion. It was only normal that he was unhappy.

Wang Xiong smiled slightly and said, “I’m a nobody so it’s only normal that you’ve never heard of me.”

“A nobody?” Wang Xiong’s opponent laughed. “How could a nobody obtain a token in the twenties? How could a nobody enter the top ten during the first stage to determine the ranking?”

Clearly, Wang Xiong’s words had provoked his opponent. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, “Let’s cut to the chase and decide the winner. I really want to witness the strength of the prodigy of our Feudal Lord Mansion who had hidden his strength so well.”

As soon as Wang Xiong’s opponent’s voice fell, his Divine Energy and profundities from the law burst forth from his body. His aura was incredibly strong. Without hesitation, he shot toward Wang Xiong like a lightning bolt, striking first to gain the upper hand. He did not dare to underestimate Wang Xiong. After all, Wang Xiong’s defenses were extremely high. He was not confident about breaking Wang Xiong’s defenses.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fight was fierce. Shockwaves rippled out as the two opponents clashed.

Lin Dong Lai, the elder from the Howling Flames Sect who was an intermediate Emperor of Gods, easily neutralized the shockwaves as the duo fought. With his presence, the shockwaves from the fight would not be able to hurt the others. Even if the duo attacked the spectators, it would be difficult for them to do so with him keeping watch.

“In fact, this prodigy who’s known as one of the strongest young prodigies in the Feudal Lord Mansion is quite deserving of this title.”

“Previously, the other strongest prodigy from the Feudal Lord Mansion, who’s ranked fourth, was defeated so quickly by Luo Yuan so I thought that the rumor was exaggerated. Now that I think about it, perhaps it was not that he was not as strong as the rumor said. It’s just that Luo Yuan is too strong!”

“That’s right. Based on this person’s strength, number 4 isn’t weak at all. He was only defeated so quickly because Luo Yuan was too strong.”

Wang Xiong’s opponent, the eighth participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion, surprised everyone with his strength. This made the others rethink their judgment about the fourth participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion, who was on par with the eighth participant.

With this, the expression of the fourth participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion, who had been mocked earlier, eased greatly.

‘All of you finally understand now. It’s not that I’m weak. It’s just that Luo Yuan is too strong! Moreover, I was defeated so quickly because I was careless as well! I didn’t expect him to attack with all his might so quickly so I was caught off guard. If I didn’t let down my guard, I would’ve been able to withstand more than ten moves. That aside, it seems like the two of us aren’t a match for Wang Xiong as well…’

The fourth participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion who was on par with the eighth participant continued to watch the fight. At the same time, he sighed inwardly. He thought to himself with a bitter smile on his face, ‘Initially, I thought I’d be able to rank in the top three. Now, it seems like I’d be lucky if I’m able to rank in the top ten. Wang Xiong is very strong. Yang Qian Ye is also very strong. As for the others, I have no hope of defeating them. There are also Yuan Mo Yu and Wanqi Hong who are still making their way to the top ten. If we can’t defeat Wang Xiong, we can forget about ranking in the top 8; if we can’t defeat Yang Qian Ye, we can forget about ranking in the top 9. There’s also He Yu Xi, who’s recognized as the strongest young prodigy in the Consonance Mansion, before the appearance of Han Di from the United Heavens Sect. I’m not sure I’ll be able to defeat He Yu Xi. In short, it’s going to be difficult for us to rank in the top ten.’

While the fourth participant was lost in his thoughts, the fight on the battlefield suddenly changed.

Wang Xiong, who had been on the defensive, suddenly launched a counterattack on his opponent. After three moves, his opponent suffered minor injuries. In contrast, his face was only slightly flushed from the exertion.

Seeing that Wang Xiong had switched to the offensive and was about to attack again, his opponent said, “I surrender.”

The eighth participant knew it was best for him to surrender to avoid more injuries. He no longer dared to continue the fight. After all, he was not confident he would be able to defeat Wang Xiong. It was best to cut the loss and conserve his strength to avoid affecting his performance later. He thought to himself, ‘I have no chance of ranking in the top three, but I have to do my best to rank in the top ten. I can’t afford to get injured at the critical moment.

Earlier in the morning, the eighth participant’s elders had also advised him to surrender if he could not win the fight and to think of the bigger picture.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiong’s victory stirred up a commotion among those from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Manor Mountain. They were elated that they had such an outstanding prodigy in the Frozen Manor Mountain. He had completely surpassed the two strongest young prodigies in the Feudal Lord Mansion. From now on, the strongest young prodigy in the Feudal Lord Mansion was Wang Xiong from their Frozen Mountain Manor.

“He won!”

“Brother Wang Xiong won!”

‘With Wang Xiong’s strength, it won’t be a problem for him to rank in the top ten,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after watching this fight. He had briefly seen the beads of sweat on Wang Xiong’s forehead before Wang Xiong’s Divine Energy evaporated it. He could tell that although Wang Xiong did not use all his strength during this fight, he had attacked with almost all of his strength.

At this time, Wang Xiong had already exchanged his token with his opponent. He rose to eighth place while his opponent fell to tenth place.

Following that, it was finally Yang Qian Ye’s turn.

“Is Yang Qian Ye going to forfeit his turn?”

Although Yang Qian Ye had displayed his amazing strength earlier, most people thought that he was at most on par with the former two strongest young prodigies in the Feudal Lord Mansion. Wang Xiong’s opponent was now in eighth place, ahead of Yang Qian Ye who was in ninth place. As such, they thought it would be best for him to forfeit his turn now. Even the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect thought so.

To everyone’s surprise, after entering the battlefield, Yang Qian Ye said, “I challenge participant number four.”

Everyone began to discuss this unexpected turn animatedly among themselves.

“Does this mean that Yang Qian Ye has yet to use all his strength earlier?”

In just a moment, the fourth participant, the other strongest young prodigy from the Feudal Lord Mansion who was ranked fourth, entered the battlefield. Soon enough, everyone’s speculations were confirmed. Indeed, Yang Qian Ye had been holding back during his earlier fights. His attacks now were much stronger than before. It did not take too long before he finally defeated his opponent.

“Yang Qian Ye’s not weaker than Wang Xiong!”

“I wonder if this is the extent of his strength…”

“Yang Qian Ye is also from the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s Pure Yang Sect, right? This time, there are two outstanding prodigies from the Pure Yang Sect!”

“That’s right. I’ve only heard about Duan Ling Tian, but I’ve never heard about this Yang Qian Ye until now.”

Unlike Duan Ling Tian who had long become famous in the Seven Mansions, Yang Qian Ye was only known to those top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. After all, they had tried to recruit him in the past. However, although he was outstanding, he was not heaven-defying or particularly special. Hence, they had only sent ordinary elders to recruit him. Who knew such a person was in fact a hidden gem?

At this time, an Emperor of Gods from the Seven Kill Valley looked puzzled as he said, “If I’m not mistaken, my granddisciple sent someone to recruit Yang Qian Ye previously. Based on his judgment, Yang Qian Ye’s talent and comprehension are good, but it’s only slightly above average. How did he become so strong?”

It was not just those from the Seven Kills Valley, the people from the other top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion such as the Dragon Martial Divine Sect, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, and the Wanqi clan were puzzled as well. Based on their previous assessment, Yang Qian Ye was only slightly above average.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘The Supreme Divine Mansion helped Yang Qian Ye grow so strong in such a short time?’

Duan Ling Tian could not help but grow excited again when he thought about the possibility of entering the Supreme Divine Mansion after the end of the Seven Mansions Feast. Perhaps, his improvements would far surpass those of Yang Qian Ye.
