Zhao Li respectfully said, "Clan Leader Gu Yuan, I didnāt have time to probe his background at the time, but when he killed the clan leader of the Hun Race and the three elders, there was indeed a white light entering his body."
As soon as these words fell, the whole place was in an uproar!
"Divine light entering the body, thatās a phenomenon that only occurs when a challenger kills a hunter!"
"By the same token, when we kill a challenger, white light enters the body too. If hunters kill each other, itās black light, which brings no benefits and even harms the body."
"My goodness~! With that said, that mysterious young man truly is a challenger!"
With these words, the expressions of many Profound Tier powerhouses became strained.
How many days have passed?
The first round of trials isnāt even over, and such a powerful challenger has appeared.
How is this possible?
They simply couldnāt believe it.
Gu Yuan couldnāt believe it either.
He took a deep breath, "Xiao Li, are you sure you didnāt see wrong?"
Xiao Li smiled wryly, "Clan Leader Gu Yuan, itās absolutely true! I would never dare to lie! And thereās no need to lie."
"To be honest, when I think back now, itās still a little unbelievable! The first round trial period isnāt even over, how could such a formidable challenger appear?"
As these words fell, the whole place buzzed with discussion.
"Yes~! How could such a formidable person appear?"
"I also find it impossible! Besides, the challengers this time come from the Fertile Continent, which is just a Small Thousand World!"
"Yes~! The humans from the Small Thousand World have very poor talent and foundation, how could they be so strong?"
"Not to mention humans from the Small Thousand World, even humans from the Great Thousand Worlds would find it extremely difficult to produce such a formidable character in the first round of trials!"
"Zhao Li, I think you must have seen wrong, that person is probably a master from some hunting faction, not a challenger!"
"Yes~! I also think that Zhao Liās words are untrue."
Many powerhouses shook their heads, ultimately not daring to believe that such a powerful figure like Wang Teng could appear in a Small Thousand World.
At this moment, Xiao Li stiffened his neck and said with a red face, "Everyone! How could I mistake white light and black light! I swear on my life, Iām certain I didnāt see wrong! Moreover, every word Iāve said is true, and I dare not exaggerate in the slightest."
As these words fell, everyone was shocked again.
Hiss~!
If Xiao Li said so, then maybe he didnāt see wrong after all.
My goodness~!
There is indeed such a strong challenger in this world!
The hall of the Eight Clansā meeting instantly became extremely silent.
Even the air seemed to have solidified.
In such a short time, having such a strong challenger appear is definitely not a good thing!
Gu Yuan also fell into deep thought.
After a long while, a white-haired elder was the first to break the silence.
"Based on Zhao Liās description, I boldly infer that the young man definitely has the strength of the Fifth Heaven, possibly even reaching the peak of the Fifth Heaven!"
As these words fell, many powerhouses slightly nodded.
Only a powerhouse of such strength could kill four people in such a short time.
The white-haired elder continued, "Everyone, to reach such a level of strength in such a short time, he must undoubtedly be a Profound Tier powerhouse. And heās not a low-grade Foundation, possibly not even middle-grade, but very likely an upper-grade Foundation!"
As soon as these words came out, many powerhouses nodded in agreement.
"Elder Yaoās analysis is correct! That person appeared in the Ancient Divine Hall, meaning he was aiming for the Martial God Trial. Presumably, after passing the Martial God Trial, he encountered Xiao Li and others."
"Thatās right~! This explains why he appeared at Heaven-Reaching Lake!"
"Yes~! Based on our analysis of that personās strength, thereās a high possibility he obtained an upper-grade Foundation. This would also explain how a challenger still in the first round of trials could so quickly have the strength of the Fifth Heaven."
"An upper-grade Foundation! It not only signifies strength but also potential. No one who obtains an upper-grade Foundation isnāt a genius."
Everyone couldnāt help but be amazed.
Among the crowd, Xiao Li frowned slightly.
At this moment, he was already engulfed in self-doubt.
It seemed that when he fought Wang Teng, he didnāt sense Wang Teng mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth!
Mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth is a characteristic method of Profound Tier powerhouses.
But looking at everyone speaking with such conviction, he also felt Wang Teng must be a Profound Tier powerhouse.
At the time, Wang Teng must have used the Power of Heaven and Earth to become so powerful.
He just panicked at the time and got it wrong.
To be honest, he simply couldnāt accept that someone in the Yellow Tier Realm could have such strength.
If the powerhouses present learned that Wang Teng was only in the Yellow Tier Realm, they would probably collapse on the spot.
"Alright!"
At this moment, Gu Yuan spoke.
The whole place instantly quieted down.
Gu Yuan raised his head and lightly scanned the room.
"Clan leaders and elders, it can now be confirmed that the mysterious young man is a challenger, with strength roughly between the Fifth Heaven and the peak of the Fifth Heaven, and his potential is extremely great."
"If we let this person continue to live, the hidden dangers for our Eight Clans will be immense, and we must eliminate this threat as soon as possible."
"Especially since this person has great potential, we cannot give him time to grow."
As these words fell, many powerhouses slightly nodded.
Xiao Li hurriedly asked, "Clan Leader Gu Yuan, what should we do next? Iām worried that after todayās battle, that person has already fled far away, and it wonāt be easy to find him again."
Gu Yuan nodded slightly, "Indeed~! However, since that person appeared near Heaven-Reaching Lake, weāll start our search from around Heaven-Reaching Lake. We must find him!"
"Perhaps we can also uncover the forces behind him. That he could emerge before the first round of trials means his world has already descended, and we can attack it too."
This reminder caused the eyes of many powerhouses to light up, and they became excited.
"Yes~! As long as we find that personās forces, even if we donāt kill him, killing their members would yield great rewards!"
"Yes~! According to the rules of the Great World, killing challengers brings extremely rich rewards."
"Hmph~! If that person dares to kill our people, he canāt blame us for retaliating!"
"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, how should we deploy? We must capture him all at once! Iām getting impatient now!"
Gu Yuanās eyes flashed with brilliance, and he immediately said, "Clan leaders, return to your clans at once to organize your disciples. Each family should send out four hundred people, forming an army of more than three thousand. Head to the vicinity of Heaven-Reaching Lake and conduct a thorough search immediately!"
"Yes~!"
"Yes~!"
...
All the clan leaders agreed unanimously.
At this moment, a thought struck the white-haired elder among the crowd, and he quickly stepped forward to report.
"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, I remember thereās a cursed, soon-to-be-extinct faction near Moon Exploration Ancient Town, seemingly called the Qian Race."
This reminder made several powerhouses recall the matter on the spot...
