The challenges were still ongoing.
Following that, until the end of the day, many people discovered that of the 30 seeded contestants, regardless of whether they had displayed great strength or not, none of them had been defeated.
On the contrary, all the challengers had been defeated without exception.
On the Chunyang School's side, although Ye Qicai was the only strong contestant, Yun Yewei and a few others who were as famous as Ye Qicai had solemn expressions on their faces.
At this moment, they all felt that there was a reason why they had not been selected as seeded contestants.
None of the seeded contestants selected by the Mysterious Jade Mansion were weak.
After the day ended, everyone returned to rest.
They waited for the next day to arrive.
After Duan Lingtian returned, he cultivated quietly as usual. He would go over the next day and see if anyone wanted to challenge him.
If no one wanted to challenge him, he would continue to watch the show.
If someone wanted to challenge him, he would make a move.
As for the pressure?
Not for the time being.
"The Mysterious Jade Mansion has done a good job in gathering information … Not only were the famous young geniuses selected as seeded contestants in the past, but they also found out about those who had hidden themselves and only appeared before the Seven Prefectures Banquet."
Tuoba Xiu, the young genius of the Yuwen Clan from the Netherworld Mansion, and Wang Xiong from the Hanshan Mansion from the Daming Mansion, were the hidden geniuses of the two major powers.
In the past, no one had heard of them.
They had only appeared before the Seven Prefectures Banquet. Moreover, they had made a name for themselves in today's Seven Prefectures Banquet.
"I wonder if anyone will succeed in their challenge tomorrow … If not, the first round of the Seven Prefectures Banquet ranking battle is obviously just a warm-up for the seeded contestants."
"Moreover, I reckon many of the seeded contestants won't even get a chance to warm up."
…
The next day, Duan Lingtian followed the Chunyang School's team to the Seven Prefectures Banquet once again.
The first round of the ranking battle continued.
The young genius who had obtained a serial number token and was ranked behind the last contestant from yesterday went up to challenge the others.
As for this person, after entering the arena, unexpectedly, he looked at the Autumn Leaves Gate of Tianchen Manor and locked onto one of them. With a clear voice, he said, "Brother Luo Yuan, let's fight."
"Although I know that I am not your opponent, I still want to see your strength."
This young Heaven's Pride who issued the challenge was from the same faction as Wang Xiong, who had defeated Genius Ye yesterday. He was also one of the few well-known Heaven's Prides from the Cold Mountain Residence.
"He is actually challenging Luo Yuan?"
"Although Luo Yuan has yet to display his strength, since Tuoba Xiu, who is as famous as him, is already so strong, Luo Yuan should not be weak. I originally thought that no one would challenge Luo Yuan. Unexpectedly, on the very next day, someone actually did."
…
At this moment, even Duan Lingtian was surprised.
Was the genius of the Hanshan Residence really doing this just to test Luo Yuan's strength?
Or was it to scout for Wang Xiong?
Although Wang Xiong took a long time to defeat Ye Yingcai yesterday and his performance was not amazing enough, his defense was enough to put him in an invincible position.
He might even be able to put up a fight against Luo Yuan.
"Luo Yuan."
Duan Lingtian followed the gazes of the crowd and looked toward the Autumn Leaf Gate of the Tianchen Residence.
On the other side, a young man that wore a dark green robe, had a cold expression, and was obviously reserved in speech and manner, and stepped into the sky with a cold expression and stood in confrontation with the young man.
"If there are no problems, let's begin."
Elder Lin Donglai of the Flame Howl Sect, who was in charge of the Seven Residences Banquet, spoke up.
The instant Lin Donglai finished speaking, the genius of the Hanshan Residence made his move. The moment he made his move, he activated the high-grade divine saber in his hand and unleashed a thunderous attack.
As for Luo Yuan, in the face of the thunderous attack, he casually took out a two-meter-long hammer.
This was especially true for the hammer head, which was the size of a small mountain.
It did not match Luo Yuan's skinny body at all.
However, before the crowd could even take a look at the divine weapon in Luo Yuan's hand, Luo Yuan had already waved the hammer in his hand. Condensed divine power and the power of laws roared on the hammer.
Luo Yuan did not specialize in any of the Four Supreme Laws, nor did he specialize in the Five Elemental Laws.
Similar to Tuoba Xiu, who specialized in the Five Elemental Laws, Luo Yuan also specialized in the Five Elemental Laws. However, he did not specialize in the Law of Ice, but in the Law of Lightning.
Bang!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Luo Yuan made his move and clashed head-on with the genius of the Hanshan Residence who had made the first move.
A deafening explosion resounded as a terrifying shockwave spread out. However, before the shockwave could reach the crowd, Lin Donglai raised his hand and extinguished it.
As an Emperor God expert, it was easy for Lin Donglai to deal with such a situation.
However, at this moment, Lin Donglai's gaze was fixed on Luo Yuan. His eyes were filled with shock, as he had not expected Luo Yuan to be so strong.
In the next instant, the crowd saw that Luo Yuan's body did not move at all. In the end, he was as still as a mountain.
On the other hand, the genius of the Hanshan Residence was sent flying. Not only was his attack destroyed, but his divine saber was also knocked out of his hand. Both his arms were broken, and he coughed up blood. His aura weakened.
This was all thanks to Lin Donglai's timely intervention.
Otherwise, he would have died on the spot with that strike just now!
"I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Luo Yuan calmly asked as he glanced at the Heaven's Prides of the Cold Mountain Residence, who had barely managed to stop themselves in the distance and were on the verge of collapsing.
When the genius of the Hanshan Residence heard this, a bitter expression appeared on his pale face. "I was too arrogant.
I am sincerely convinced of Brother Luo's strength.
Worthy of being a genius aiming for the top three of the Seven Residences Banquet. "
The genius of the Hanshan Residence coughed up another mouthful of blood before retreating dejectedly. "Elder Lin, thank you for saving my life. I will give up on the remaining two challenges. "
He had no choice but to give up.
His injuries were too severe.
If he did not return to recuperate, continuing to fight would only worsen his injuries.
At that time, he might even be kicked out of the top 100.
"So strong!"
"Too scary!"
"This Luo Yuan seems to be even stronger than Tuoba Xiu."
…
As Luo Yuan turned around and left, an uproar broke out. This was especially true for the young geniuses, who were all astonished.
After seeing Tuoba Xiu make her move, they knew that Luo Yuan was not weak.
After all, just like how Tuoba Xiu had been nurtured by the Netherworld Residence, Luo Yuan had also been nurtured by the Heavenly Star Residence.
However, although they had guessed that Luo Yuan would not be weak, his earlier attack had still shocked them.
Luo Yuan's attack was different from Tuoba Xiu's.
Tuoba Xiu had frozen her opponent.
Luo Yuan, on the other hand, had crushed his opponent in a head-on clash. This was even more shocking.
As such, some people were now saying that Luo Yuan was stronger than Tuoba Xiu.
Of course, this was only the opinion of some people.
However, the majority of the young geniuses felt that even if Tuoba Xiu's earlier attack had not been strong enough, it could not be said that she was weaker than Luo Yuan.
This was unless the two of them fought and a victor was decided.
Otherwise, they would not dare to say that Tuoba Xiu was definitely weaker than Luo Yuan.
"I am truly curious which of the two of them is stronger."
Duan Lingtian's expression turned somewhat solemn. The strength Luo Yuan had just displayed was also stronger than Moqi Hong, who had been defeated by him back in the Seven Kills Valley.
When he thought of Moqi Hong, Duan Lingtian subconsciously glanced at the Moqi Clan.
He saw that Moqi Hong had a solemn expression on his face. Evidently, he was feeling quite pressured as well.
"Luo Yuan is very strong."
Beside Ye Chenfeng and Zhen Pingfan, Liu Fenggu sighed. "It seems like the Heavenly Star Residence has put in a lot of effort for this Seven Mansions Banquet."
"The Netherworld Residence is not bad either."
Zhen Pingfan smiled.
At the same time, he glanced at the people from the other prefectures. "In this Seven Prefectures Banquet, if one of them really makes it into the top three … then perhaps, in the next Seven Prefectures Banquet, it won't be just one of them who has poured all their resources into cultivating one person."
"Are you saying that the other mansions will follow suit?"
Liu Fenggu asked.
"Yes."
Zhen Pingfan nodded. "Although the other mansions have no less than four powers, if they put in all their effort to nurture two such geniuses, even if they don't aim to enter the top three, they should still be able to enter the top 10, right?"
"One top ten, two spots … Two top ten, that's four spots! That's one more spot than one top three. "
In the Seven Mansions Banquet, apart from the first place winner, who would be able to obtain four spots to enter the sacred grounds, the second and third place winners would each be able to obtain three spots to enter the sacred grounds.
The top three would be able to obtain at least three spots.
"I don't think so."
Liu Fenggu shook his head and said, "This method involves too many things. Moreover, some powers will definitely be confident in their disciples and will not participate. "
"One less power won't be a big deal."
Zhen Pingfan smiled faintly. "Take our Tung Leng Province for example. If someone suggests this and our Chunyang School is unwilling to participate, why can't the other powers work together to fulfill this suggestion?"
…
Zhen Pingfan and Liu Fenggu's conversation was not through telepathy. Therefore, even Duan Lingtian and the others could hear it clearly.
Many people's expressions turned solemn.
It would be fine if Chunyang School did not agree to this. However, if they did, it would implicate their interests. After all, there were only so many resources in the sect.
In particular, top-tier resources were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Now, they still had a chance to compete.
However, if Chunyang School were to participate and use all its power to nurture one or two geniuses, they would not even have a chance to compete for those top-tier resources.
This was not a good thing for them.
Of course.
Duan Lingtian did not think much of it. After all, this did not affect him much.
He did not know how long he would stay in Chunyang School after the Seven Mansions Banquet.
Perhaps, it would not be long before he left?
…
On this day and the following days, none of the seventy-two prodigies who went on stage succeeded.
The 30 seeded contestants were like 30 insurmountable mountains, making people shrink back at the sight of them.
