Chapter 385 - 385 385 Battle of the Genius Ranking

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Battle of the Genius Ranking Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Battle of the Genius Ranking “This person’s strength is indeed formidable, their true combat power is probably not inferior to the Second Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm,”

Feng Wuchen couldn’t deny it as he nodded and his gaze swept over to the number one genius of the Heavenly Moon Sect.

“The number one genius from the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa has also reached the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. It’s hard to say who will take the first place,” said Nangong Zhan.

“Among so many geniuses, only those two have the cultivation of the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. It’s very much anticipated,” Zhang Junlan said with a slight smile.

Among the many geniuses participating, only two were of the Heavenly Human Realm, and the fight for the first and second places on the genius ranking was undoubtedly between them.

“Beidou Yan, which one is Bai Mie?” Feng Wuchen asked, casting a glance at Beidou Yan.

Beidou Yan looked towards the group from the Bai Family, his gaze landing on a young man and said, “Dan Emperor, that one in white clothing at the pinnacle of the Ninth Level of the Tianyuan Realm is Bai Mie.”

“The pinnacle of the Ninth Level of the Tianyuan Realm, this person’s strength is indeed very strong, no wonder you were defeated by him.” Feng Wuchen nodded and took a glance at Bai Mie.

“Bai Mie and Lei Tianjue are equally matched in strength, both were ranked third in the last genius ranking. It’s uncertain how it will turn out this time,” Bei Dou Tianye slowly spoke.

“Big Brother Feng, with so many geniuses gathered for the genius ranking, we can’t miss out!” Liu Qingyang said with a smile.

Feng Wuchen nodded, among the plethora of geniuses, many met Feng Wuchen’s minimum criteria.

Of course, that also depended on whether they were willing. Feng Wuchen never forced anyone who was unwilling.

The battle for the genius ranking began quickly, with several hundred geniuses participating in the fight.

The geniuses were excited, thrilled, scared, worried, arrogant, dismissive, and so on.

The rules were simple; the losers were eliminated, and the victors advanced.

In the competition, the use of hidden weapons, poison, or killing was prohibited.

The top geniuses from the six major powers passed through the rounds defeating all opponents effortlessly, utterly overwhelming their opponents with sheer power, even causing some challengers to forfeit out of fear.

The Young Sect Master of the Holy Sun Sect, the Young Master of the Gongsun Family, the Young Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace, and other geniuses all advanced smoothly.

After the first round of fighting, those with weaker cultivation were all eliminated, leaving over a hundred with no chance of ranking on the genius list.

The strong advanced, the weak retreated.

The thrilling fights began from the second round onwards.

In order to advance, the geniuses went all out, displaying a myriad of powerful martial skills and treasures; the battles were incredibly spectacular, setting off waves of cheers from the crowd, the atmosphere electrifying.

Round after round the battle went on, and fewer geniuses advanced each time. Now, only a little over twenty remained.

The advancing geniuses had faces filled with excited smiles, while the eliminated geniuses were left with gloom and disappointment.

The upcoming round was crucial; among these twenty advancing geniuses, if they were to lose this round, it meant that they would have no chance to be in the top ten.

Advancing geniuses were those with the chance to break into the top ten of the genius ranking. Only those who entered the top ten would be recognized, and only they would have the opportunity to soar to great heights.

The top talents from the six great powers had the highest chance of entering the top ten, but that was also uncertain; if they encountered a strong opponent, they would inevitably be eliminated.

It also depended on luck, facing weaker opponents meant a stress-free advancement.

The more critical the moment, the greater the pressure on the geniuses. They all secretly prayed not to face a strong opponent.

This round of fighting was incredibly intense, especially the battle between Bai Mie and Lei Tianjue. Their equal strength caused the surrounding mountains to tremble violently, scaring countless spectators senseless with fear.

However, whether they had arranged it beforehand or not, the battle between the two resulted in mutual injury, a draw, just like the outcome five years ago.

Of course, Lei Tianjue was able to fight Bai Mie to a draw solely by relying on his powerful Ice Soul Domain.

Another thrilling battle was that between Ye Gucheng and the Junior Sect Master of the Holy Sun Sect; it was incredibly fierce, earth-shattering, and such an intense and exciting fight could only be savored in the struggle for the rankings of the geniuses.

The remarkable battle ended with Ye Gucheng emerging as the victor.

In the end, Fan Shaoyun, the Junior Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect, Yi Tianqing, the Junior Villa Master of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa, Bai Mie, Lei Tianjue, Ye Gucheng, Tang Fei, and other ten prodigies successfully advanced to the top ten.

Given the power of the Junior Sect Master of the Holy Sun Sect, he could have advanced to the top ten, but unfortunately, he encountered Ye Gucheng.

Of course, what Feng Wuchen was concerned about was not those who had advanced, he also had high hopes for those geniuses who hadn’t.

“The martial arts cultivation of the two Junior Masters from the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa is profound; it’s almost impossible for Big Brother Feng to recruit them,” Liu Qingyang shook his head and said.

The Heavenly Moon Sect is the most powerful entity in the heavenly domain, and the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa ranks second. Both Junior Masters hold themselves above others, their arrogance sky-high; how could they willingly follow Feng Wuchen?

“Indeed, those two are remarkable geniuses, and their talents should both possess Eighth Grade Martial Souls, but I never thought about recruiting them. With their strength and status, they would not submit to me, so why should I waste my time?” Feng Wuchen said with a slight smile.

Zhang Junlan nodded slightly and said, “It seems like the teacher already has a plan in mind.”

Feng Wuchen smiled and said nothing.

The following battles were for ranking positions.

Since it was a struggle for the genius rankings, it was natural to fight for positions.

However, due to the previous fierce battles, the geniuses all had injuries to varying degrees, so the struggle would have to wait until they had fully healed to continue.

The battles for ranking were even more anticipated and exciting than the previous fights, and everyone waited patiently.

What people were most concerned about in the ranking battles was the first place.

Five years ago, the first place was Fan Shaoyun, the Junior Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect, but now the martial arts cultivation of the Junior Villa Master of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa had caught up. The competition for the title of first place was thus incredibly fierce.

Everyone was secretly guessing who would take the first place.

“Yi Tianqing, I heard you secluded yourself for two years before stepping into the first layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, and your strength has improved a lot. I hope we can fight in the next round,” said Fan Shaoyun with a cold laugh, his gaze sweeping over Yi Tianqing.

Hearing this, Yi Tianqing showed no change in expression and said coldly, “I will go all out to defeat you!”

“Oh?” Seeing Yi Tianqing’s confidence, Fan Shaoyun laughed coldly, “The first place in the genius rankings is mine for the taking! You’ve just broken through to the first layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, you’re not my match!”

Yi Tianqing ignored him and didn’t even spare Fan Shaoyun a glance, showing extreme pride.

“Wasn’t there a mysterious young man who challenged many powers’ geniuses a while back? Didn’t that guy participate in the genius ranking struggles?”

“It seems like he really didn’t participate. Who knows who he is, could it be that he was too scared to participate?”

“With the strength of the Junior Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Junior Villa Master of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa being so formidable, both in the Heavenly Human Realm, how would that kid dare to participate?”

“If he had participated, he would certainly have been defeated miserably!”

As the battles ceased, people remembered Feng Wuchen’s challenges against the geniuses of the various forces. Not seeing Feng Wuchen, many scoffed.

Feng Wuchen, in the crowd, shook his head helplessly.
