"So ruthless?"
Even Duan Lingtian could not help but click his tongue when he learned that someone had attacked the prodigies of other forces at this stage of the Seven Prefectures Banquet.
This was the place where the Seven Prefectures Banquet was held. All forces were gathered here. If they were discovered to have attacked someone here, they would have to pay a huge price.
It was a very risky thing to do.
However, when he thought about the significance of the top ten in the Seven Prefectures Banquet, he could understand why some people would take such a risk …
If they took the risk, they might be able to help their prodigies enter the top ten. Under such circumstances, they would be able to obtain at least two qualifications to enter the Secret Realm of the Sacred Land!
Once they entered the Secret Realm of the Sacred Land, they would have the possibility of becoming an Upper God Emperor.
If he could become a High God Emperor, this kind of risk would not be worth mentioning at all.
"It seems like I can't go out recklessly for the next few days."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Originally, he thought that he would not need to cultivate for the next ten days. He could just walk around and take a look. However, it seemed like this was not a good idea.
The current him was undoubtedly a thorn in the side of some forces.
If they could eliminate him, there would be one more spot in the top ten.
"Master, I understand."
At this time, Yang Qianye also responded to Yuan Hanjin's repeated warnings and expressed that he would not go out.
In fact, he did not plan to go out either.
"Duan Lingtian, prepare well … Don't feel too much pressure. Your goal is to enter the top ten, not the top three."
When Duan Lingtian returned with the Chunyang School group, Zhen Pingfan was the only one left. He looked at Duan Lingtian and reminded him again.
"I understand."
Duan Lingtian was not annoyed by Zhen Pingfan's repeated reminders. Instead, he was grateful. After all, Zhen Pingfan did not have to do this.
From the beginning, he and Zhen Pingfan did not interact like a senior and a junior. They were more like friends.
Duan Lingtian remembered all the help Zhen Pingfan had given him in the past.
If there was a chance in the future, he would repay him generously.
…
For ten days or so, everything was calm.
After all, something had happened at the Feast of the Seven Prefectures. With that as an example, the young Heaven's Favorites didn't dare to go out carelessly even with the warnings of their elders.
Ten days later, the final round of the Seven Prefectures Feast ranking tournament arrived. The thirty seeded contestants followed their respective forces to the Seven Prefectures Feast, so they didn't have to worry about being ambushed on the way.
Under such circumstances, only a fool would make a move.
Because not only was it impossible to succeed, there was an 80 or 90% chance that he would be caught. Once he was caught, he would be completely finished!
"You're quite early today."
When Duan Lingtian entered the venue with the people from Chunyang School, he realized that most of the people from the various prefectures and major forces had arrived. Only a few forces had not arrived yet.
This was something he didn't dare to imagine in the past.
This was because in the past, Chunyang School would arrive at about this time every morning. However, each time, only half of the people would arrive at most. It wasn't as complete as now.
"Thirty seeded contestants, and a few forces have taken up two spots each … This also means that there are a few forces whose sects or clans don't have anyone in the top thirty."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"However, if you can't enter the top ten, entering the top thirty is actually not much different from not entering at all. You won't be qualified to enter the sacred land mystic realm."
"It's just that your reputation is better."
"Even so, many people are still scrambling for it."
Many times, many people valued things like reputation.
Of course, it didn't necessarily mean that they valued false reputation.
For example, at the Feast of the Seven Prefectures this time, some young prodigies from forces knew that it was impossible for them to enter the top ten, but they still squeezed their way to the front in order to show their value to the forces behind them.
The better you performed at the Feast of the Seven Prefectures, the more you could show your value.
Even if you couldn't enter the top ten, if you could enter the top thirty, you would be valued by your sect or clan.
"Even Elder Ye was like this back then … According to Elder Zhen, Elder Ye only received Chunyang School's great nurturing after he entered the top twenty at the Feast of the Seven Prefectures."
Thinking of what Zhen Pingfan said to him, Duan Lingtian could completely understand the motivation of some prodigies present.
Sometimes, it wasn't that they wanted to push forward.
It was fate that forced them to move forward!
If they took a step forward, their future fate might be different.
And if they didn't fight, they might have another mediocre fate in the future …
"Everyone's here."
About fifteen minutes after Duan Lingtian and the people from Chunyang School arrived, all the small floating islands and the surroundings of the floating islands were filled with people sitting and standing.
Obviously, everyone was present.
"It's time for Elder Lin to appear."
The whispers of many Pure Sun Sect's disciples resonated in Duan Ling Tian's ears.
Almost everyone was used to this scene at the Feast of the Seven Prefectures this time …
When everyone was present, Elder Lin Donglai of the Profound Jade Mansion's Flame Howl Sect, who was in charge of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures, would appear at the right time and announce the start of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures.
This time, it was no exception.
Whoosh!
Moments after everyone was present, a figure flew in from the sky and landed in the center of the square in the blink of an eye. Feng Xu stood in the wind.
It was Elder Lin Donglai of the Flame Howl Sect.
Today, Lin Donglai's face was no longer as solemn as before. There was a faint smile on his face. It was unknown whether it was because he was in a good mood or because he was happy because the Feast of the Seven Prefectures was about to end.
After all, although it was not difficult to be the host of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures, it was easy to tire one out.
"Everyone."
After Lin Donglai arrived, he announced loudly, "From today onwards, we will enter the final stage of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures. The ranking battle will also enter its final stage.
"The 30 seeded contestants did not disappoint the Profound Jade Mansion and successfully passed the challenges of the other contestants. None of them were replaced."
"Even in the history of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures, this is rare."
Duan Lingtian had heard Zhen Pingfan mention what Lin Donglai had just said.
Although there had been similar situations in the past where none of the 30 seeded contestants were eliminated, it was rare for the Feast of the Seven Prefectures to be so successful.
At the very least, this was the first time in the past 100,000 years that such a situation had occurred in the Feast of the Seven Prefectures.
This was enough to show how astute the Profound Jade Mansion was and how powerful their intelligence network was.
"Presently, I presume everyone is already clear about the rules of the competition for the top 30, so I won't say anything further … I'll give everyone 15 minutes to catch their breaths and prepare. After 15 minutes, we'll begin seizing the Numbered Token."
Lin Donglai announced loudly.
As soon as Lin Donglai finished speaking, the eyes of the group of young prodigies present, including Duan Lingtian, lit up.
The final stage of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures was the final stage of the ranking battle. The top 30 would determine the final ranking. The rules were rather unique; everyone would fight for the numbered tokens.
The numbered tokens would be displayed in front of them.
Everyone would be able to see the 30 numbered tokens from No.1 to No.30.
After that, the person who obtained the corresponding number would temporarily be ranked in the top 30.
After that, from No.30 onward, challenges would be issued.
No.30 could only challenge No.21 to No.29. In fact, those who were No.22 and above could only challenge No.21 at most.
No.21 could challenge No.20, but he could not challenge those who were ranked higher than No.20.
No.20 could challenge No.11 to No.19.
Those who were No.12 and above could only challenge No.21 at most.
It was the same for No.10 and above.
However, No.3 and No.4 were obstacles as well.
No.10 could only challenge No.4 at most. Only if he succeeded in challenging No.4 and became the new No.4 could he challenge No.3 … Only if he became No.3 and entered the top three could he challenge No.2 and No.1.
The top three were obstacles.
Being in the top ten was also a hurdle.
The top 20 were obstacles as well.
If one wanted to obtain the numbered tokens, they would have to rely on themselves.
Of course, this was not purely a competition of strength. There was a large element of luck as well … If the numbered token one wanted was further away from oneself, one might lose the initiative and fail to obtain the token.
All in all, fighting for the numbered tokens was just an 'appetizer' at the beginning of the final stage of the ranking battle. The real exciting part had yet to come.
Those who obtained the numbered tokens at the front and those who obtained the numbered tokens at the back had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Some people wanted the numbered tokens at the front while others wanted the numbered tokens at the back.
However, in general, most people definitely wanted the numbered tokens at the front.
After all, those who could become seeded contestants were all top prodigies of the younger generation of their respective forces. They all had pride in their hearts and were unwilling to submit to others.
"Duan Lingtian, what number token are you going to get?"
Zhen Pingfan asked Duan Lingtian with a smile.
The others from Chunyang School also looked at Duan Lingtian with curiosity in their eyes.
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly when he heard this. "I don't care. Just take it. Whatever number it is. "
In fact, for those who were confident in their own strength, this segment was indeed unimportant …
So what if you got No.30 token?
As long as you had enough strength, you could first kill No.21, then No.20, then No.11 and No.10. Wouldn't you be able to advance further?
After killing No.4, you could challenge No.3.
After killing No.3, you could challenge No.1. After successfully challenging No.1, you would be able to reach the top!
"Getting No.1 still gives you a great advantage … At least, you can rest first. In the earlier stages, there aren't many people who have the qualifications to challenge you. "
Zhen Pingfan reminded him through voice transmission.
Duan Ling Tian nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this principle as well. "Then we'll see when the time comes. After all, the distribution of the numbered tokens is scattered, and they're further away from here. Perhaps the area I'm watching doesn't have the number one token, and I'll lose the initiative. It'll be difficult for me to obtain it."
