Chapter 4058 - Wanqi Hong Lost… Again

Yang Qian Ye challenged Yuan Mo Yu and lost after ten moves. Needless to say, no one was surprised by his defeat. They knew he, along with Ximen Long Xiang, was the weakest among the top ten participants.

Now that Yang Qian Ye and Ximen Long Xiang were ranked ninth and tenth respectively, everyone thought that the duo would be fighting for ninth place after this. It was impossible for the duo to rank any higher than ninth.

"It's Wang Xiong's turn!"

During Yang Qian Ye's fight, everyone was already looking forward to the next fight. After all, it was Wang Xiong's turn since he was ranked eighth.

"Participant number eight, please enter the battlefield," Lin Dong Lai called out.

Wang Xiong entered the battlefield in a leisurely manner. He was still dressed very sloppily. After he landed, his eyes swept past Lin Yuan, who was ranked fifth, and Tuo Ba Xiu, who was ranked sixth, before they landed on Wanqi Hong, who was ranked seventh.

"Wanqi Hong didn't challenge Wang Xiong because of the elders of the Wanqi clan. It didn't occur to methat Wang Xiong might challenge Wanqi Hong!"

"I think Wang Xiong is going to challenge Wanqi Hong for sure."

"I agree!"

The expression of Wanqi Hong, who heard the conversations in his surroundings, darkened.

At the same time, under everyone's watchful gaze, Wang Xiong called out, "I challenge participant number seven, Wanqi Hong, the prodigy from the Wanqi clan!"

Since the crowd had already expected this, they did not react much. Instead, they looked at Wanqi Hong with a mocking gaze.

Wanqi Hong flew into the battlefield with a sour expression on his face. He really regretted listening to Wanqi Yu Ning's advice earlier. He should have challenged Wang Xiong instead of Ximen Long Xiang. If he had done that, he would not feel so embarrassed now. He was still unaware that he had given himself away when he looked at Wanqi Yu Ning earlier while they were communicating through Voice Transmission. Otherwise,no one would have known he had been dissuaded by his elder to give up on challenging Wang Xiong.

It was normal to change one mind when challenging an opponent. No one would have thought badly of Wanqi Hong for doing so. However, the fact that he had changed his mind after listening to his elder, made everyone think that he did not have a mind of his own and was not assertive enough.

Sometimes, one could learn a lot with just a look.

After landing, Wanqi Hong said in a glacial tone, "Wang Xiong, if the extent of your strength is what you've shown so far, you're no match for me."

At this moment, Wanqi Hong was filled with the overwhelming urge to defeat Wang Xiong. As long as he defeated Wang Xiong, he would be able to redeem himself.

Faced with Wanqi Hong's provocative words, Wang Xiong smiled calmly and did not respond.

Previously, Wanqi Hong's anger was already almost reaching the boiling point after he fought Ximen Long Xiang. Not only was he pushed back due to his own carelessness, but he found out that Ximen Long Xiang had attacked so aggressively because Ximen Long Xiang viewed him as a touchstone in his quest to challenge Duan Ling Tian. The implication that he was inferior to Duan Ling Tian angered him greatly.

Now, seeing how dismissive Wang Xiong was of him, Wanqi Hong could no longer hold back his anger. As soon as Lin Dong Lai announced the start of the fight, he swept out like a hurricane. Lightning flashed around his body at the same time. Similar to Luo Yuan from the Divine Morning Mansion's Autumn Leaves Sect, he comprehended the law of thunder.

'Oh, he has quite the temper,' Wang Xiong thought to himself as he cocked an eyebrow. Then, a golden light burst forth from his body and charged toward Wanqi Hong, who took the initiative to strike first. He had no intention of avoiding Wanqi Hong at all.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Everyone watched as purple lightning bolts clashed with the dazzling golden light, producing a gorgeous fireworks display along with a series of thunderous explosions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Unlike those with a higher cultivation base, those with lower cultivation bases could not clearly capture the duo's movements.

Wanqi Hong and Wang Xiong continued to fight fiercely after the initial collision.

Wang Xiong was clearly much stronger than when he fought Yang Qian Ye previously.

'Wang Xiong was really still hiding his strength! His strength now is on par with Wanqi Hong, but I don't know if he's still holding back…' Duan Ling Tian exclaimed inwardly. He had already suspected this.

At the same time, Wanqi Hong and Wang Xiong had exchanged more than a dozen moves.

Wanqi Hong, whose face was flushed, did not hold back at all. He cast his bloodline power as blood qi rose from his body. In just a moment, his strength skyrocketed, surpassing that of Wang Xiong.

"Now that Wanqi Hong has used his bloodline power, Wang Xiong will likely use his bloodline power as well!"

"This fight has gotten even more exciting!"

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Wang Xiong's Divine Energy grew stronger as the dazzling golden light around him grew brighter. With this, his strength quickly overtook that of Wanqi Hong.

In just a moment, Wanqi Hong lost the advantage he had just gained.

Boom!

Before the crowd could react, Wang Xiong destroyed Wanqi Hong's attack before sending Wanqi Hong flying back with three moves.

Wanqi Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face was ashen. As he flew back, he looked at Wang Xiong in shock and disbelief.

'How is he so strong?'

At this moment, Wanqi Hong recalled how he had aimed to rank in the top three or even rank first before the start of the Seven Mansions Feast. He could not help but feel ashamed when he thought about it. How could someone as weak as him even think about ranking in the top three, let alone ranking first?

'Why?'

Wanqi Hong was unable to accept this. He was considered a monstrous talent among the younger generation. In the past, he was the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Why were there so many people who were stronger than him now? He could still accept it when it was just Duan Ling Tian alone, but now, there was Yuan Mo Yu, Tuo Ba Xiu, Luo Yuan, Han Di, and Wang Xiong!

Before the Seven Mansions Feast, the Wanqi clan had helped him to stabilize his cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Lord of Gods. As such, his strength had risen greatly. However, why was it still not enough?

'Am I really so useless?'

At this time, Wanqi Hong felt unprecedented despair.

While Wang Xiong flew over, Wanqi Hong was still lost in his thoughts. He only regained his senses when he heard Wanqi Yu Ning's startled cry.

"Surrender!"

With that, Wanqi Hong hurriedly called out, "I surrender!"

Following that, Wang Xiong also stopped attacking. He successfully rose from eighth place to seventh place now that he defeated Wanqi Hong.

While they exchanged tokens until they left the battlefield, everyone looked at Wang Xiong in shock and disbelief. They knew Wang Xiong was strong, but they did not imagine him to be so strong.

"Wang Xiong's earlier attacks aren't much weaker than those of Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu, right?!"

"That's right! Moreover, he didn't even use his bloodline power earlier! If he uses his bloodline power, he's definitely on par with them at the very least!"

"Did you see how grim Yuan Mo Yu and Tuo Ba Xiu's expressions are? Earlier, they didn't look like that at all!"

"It seems like they finally realized that Wang Xiong is a threat to them!"

Duan Ling Tian's expression was slightly complicated as well. Wang Xiong was stronger than he had imagined.

Even the young disciples from the Frozen Mountain Manor were surprised. After all, none of them knew Wang Xiong very well before this, and Wang Xiong had also intentionally kept a low profile. How could they know that he possessed such strength?

Everyone finally returned to their senses when Lin Dong Lai called out, "Participant number six, please enter the battlefield."

Everyone finally shifted their eyes away from Wang Xiong to the figure that flew out in the direction of the people from the Underworld Mansion's Yuwen clan.

Tuo Ba Xiu was not only the only female among the top ten participants, but she also received the resources from all the top forces in the Underworld Mansion. She had shown great strength during her fight with Yuan Mo Yu, but due to an error in judgment, she was defeated by Yuan Mo Yu.

For this reason, quite a few people lamented her defeat.

"Lin Yuan and Yuan Mo Yu are ahead of Tuo Ba Xiu. However, she fought Yuan Mo Yu previously so she can only challenge Lin Yuan now."

"Everyone says Lin Yuan is very strong, but he has yet to reveal his strength at all. Perhaps, Tuo Ba Xiu might be able to force him to reveal his strength."

"If she can't do that, then there's no doubt Lin Yuan will rank in the top three or even first…"

At the same time, Tuo Ba Xiu said, "I challenge participant number five."

'Lin Yuan!' Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up as he watched Lin Yuan fly into the battlefield. The two people he was most wary of were Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong, not Tuo Ba Xiu, Yuan Mo Yu, Han Di, or Luo Yuan. Unlike the others, he still did not know the extent of the duo's strength, after all. Similar to the others, he thought Tuo Ba Xiu might be able to force Lin Yuan to reveal some of his strength at least, more than what Lin Yuan had shown so far.

Duan Ling Tian, who was rather leisurely just a moment before, straightened his back as a serious expression appeared on his face. He had to understand his opponent to ensure his victory. If he wanted to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast, he had to understand Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong, who had successfully hidden their strength until now.
