"You're talking nonsense."
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord would never admit to such a thing.
It was obvious that the crowd didn't believe Ling Xiao's words either.
"I'm talking nonsense? In any case, the Battle of Kings is about to begin. Soon enough, everyone will know who's talking nonsense. "
Ling Xiao was now very sure that Cold Plum was stronger than the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord Wu Long. She was even slightly stronger than him when he didn't use his Tyrant Martial Soul.
This was also why he thought that Cold Plum had been possessed.
"Besides him, there shouldn't be any changes to the rest of the rankings. Then, let's continue with the seventh place announcement."
Lawless didn't want to continue watching Ling Xiao gloat, so he took the opportunity to speak.
But the Divine Emissary had a strange expression.
"What's going on?"
The crowd looked at the Divine Emissary in confusion.
"Is there a change?"
Lawless asked in confusion.
The Divine Emissary nodded. "Second place goes to Cold Plum!"
What!?
This time, the cries of surprise were even louder than before.
If Ling Xiao had been lucky enough to take first place, the crowd could still accept it. After all, he had displayed some formidable strength.
But what was Cold Plum?
She was just one of Ling Xiao's maidservants. What right did she have to take second place?
"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
Lawless was so excited that he rushed over and snatched the report from the Divine Emissary's hands.
He looked at it carefully for a long time before he could confirm that he hadn't seen wrong.
He really couldn't understand what had happened in the Necropolis of Myriad Demons for this woman's results to be so high.
Although the crystal screen showed the detailed scores, it didn't show what the martial artists had obtained.
This was driving him crazy.
The Tianhai Holy Court, Water God Temple, Heavenly Demon Cult, and all the other martial artists who hated Ling Xiao had ugly expressions.
Ling Xiao had taken first place.
Cold Plum had taken second place.
Although he didn't know what special benefits would come from being first and second in this Treasure Hunting Battle, it still made him feel a little unhappy.
"Lord Referee, please don't be surprised. You said before that the ranking will have a special effect. The higher the ranking, the more benefits you will get, right? What are the benefits? "
Ling Xiao looked at Lawless and asked.
What he was most concerned about now was not the Battle of the Kings.
If he joined the Battle of the Kings now, he wouldn't be a match for Feng Feiye, Tianhai Tyranny, or Lei Lie without using his Tyrant Sky martial spirit.
Even if he encountered other top geniuses, it would be difficult for him to win.
Therefore, during the gap between the second and third battles, he had to increase his strength as much as possible.
If there were any benefits that could increase his strength by ranking higher in the second battle, of course he wouldn't want to miss it.
"That's right. I did say that I can tell you now. After the second battle, the top ten martial artists will have the right to choose who to fight and who not to fight.
Of course, this only refers to the first few rounds of the competition. In the end, when facing an expert, it is still unavoidable. "
Lawless explained.
"Tch, that's it?"
Ling Xiao was thoroughly disappointed. If that was the case, why did he have to fight so hard?
"That's not it. After the treasure hunt, the top ten martial artists will each receive a Rubik's Cube. If you're lucky, you'll get a great opportunity from the Rubik's Cube."
Lawless didn't want to let Ling Xiao be so smug.
However, he had to say something like this because it was a rule. Otherwise, the Black Tortoise Sacred Hall would naturally change the head referee.
"Interesting!"
Ling Xiao nodded, and only then did he leave in satisfaction.
He really didn't care who his opponent was in the final battle.
He only cared about what benefits he could get if he took first place in the second battle.
"Master, that spatial crack is actually related to my origins. I'm not someone from the profound world."
Sitting in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by their own people, Cold Plum lowered her voice to speak to Ling Xiao.
"Oh?"
Ling Xiao didn't stop Cold Plum from continuing.
Since Cold Plum wanted to tell him everything, he wouldn't reject.
"The place I used to live in is called the Feather World. It's the same as the profound world, a separate plane.
Later on, a strong army barged into the Feather World and started massacring the feathermen.
They were all burly giants and called themselves the Sky Clan. They came from the Heaven Realm and had strong fighting power.
Since then, the Feather World started a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years.
I'm the princess of a small country in the Feather World. It's called the Black Feather Nation and there are only about a hundred thousand citizens.
In order to protect the feathermen of the Black Feather Nation, Feather King thought of a way, which was to separate the Black Feather Nation from the Feather World. "
"Failed?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
If it wasn't for the failure, he believed that Cold Plum wouldn't have been sold as a slave and the situation in the spatial crack wouldn't have been so miserable.
"Mm, a traitor appeared in the Black Feather Nation. In the end, Feather King, who is my father, resisted with all his might with the army and sent away tens of thousands of feathermen.
Unfortunately, most of them were normal people and children who got separated in the spatial crack.
When I came to the profound world, I was quickly captured as a slave. "
Cold Plum nodded.
While Cold Plum was talking, Lawless had already finished telling them about the events after the treasure hunt and continued to announce the rankings.
"Ling Xiao is first, Cold Plum is second, Feng Feiye is third, Tianhai Tyranny is fourth, Lei Lie is fifth, Sun Lengchan is sixth, Long Chen is seventh!"
These were the results of the previous announcements, plus the two dark horses, Ling Xiao and Cold Plum.
"You obtained these memories from the crack, didn't you?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
"Mm, in that space, I not only got these memories, but also the inheritance that my father left me. It allowed my strength to increase by leaps and bounds, so I definitely wasn't possessed."
Cold Plum emphasized.
"I believe you. Whether you're a black featherman or a human, it doesn't change anything to me.
Mm, speaking of which, there are still changes. At the very least, you can help me more. "
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Cold Plum smiled, revealing a bright smile that had never been seen before.
She was most afraid that Ling Xiao would dislike her after finding out her true identity, but now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.
"Ranked eighth — Zui Linglong!"
At this moment, the divine emissary finally announced the eighth ranked martial artist, Zui Linglong of the Zhengyi School.
So far, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire had occupied three of the top eight spots, which was even more than the Zhengyi School. Even Ling Xiao hadn't expected this result.
Originally, he thought that it would be good enough to have him in the top ten.
But Long Chen and Cold Plum's performances had completely exceeded his expectations, making him feel gratified.
But the following rankings were a little boring, with almost no suspense.
Starting from Zui Linglong, it was Xiao Budian, Heavenly Wolf Gentleman, Silver Wolf Princess, Hundred Eyed Demon Lord Wu Long, Qingqiu Fairy, Qingqiu Lihuo, Crown Princess, Lei Tun, Lei Mang, and so on.
