"Number 7."
As Elder Lin Donglai of the Flame Howl Sect spoke, a figure flew out from the Profound Jade Mansion's Flame Howl Sect camp and entered the arena.
It was a tall young man with a handsome face and sharp eyebrows. His temperament was extraordinary, and he gave off an otherworldly feeling just by standing there.
He was the Flame Howl Sect's prodigy, Lin Yuan.
He was also the grandnephew that Lin Donglai had mentioned.
Lin Yuan came from outside the seven prefectures, but he was now a disciple of the Flame Howl Sect. Therefore, no one said anything about him participating in the Seven Prefectures Banquet.
If you have the ability, you can also ask for external help.
After Lin Yuan entered the arena, his gaze landed on the Autumn Leaf Gate of Heavenly Star Mansion.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this. "Lin Yuan wants to challenge Luo Yuan?"
Luo Yuan was the Autumn Leaf Gate's prodigy of Heavenly Star Mansion, and this was only his current identity. His true identity was the prodigy that Heavenly Star Mansion had nurtured with all its resources.
Earlier, he had displayed his powerful strength and let everyone see how extraordinary the prodigy that Heavenly Star Mansion had nurtured with all its resources was.
"This is going to be interesting!"
"Lin Yuan wants to challenge Luo Yuan so soon? This is going to be a fierce battle! "
"Yeah … Although Lin Yuan's strength is impressive, it's not at Luo Yuan's level. However, since he was invited by Elder Lin to join the Flame Howl Sect and participate in the Seven Prefectures Banquet, it means that his strength is not to be underestimated. "
"Looking at Elder Lin's current appearance, you're obviously not worried about Lin Yuan at all. He should be confident in Lin Yuan's strength. "
…
While everyone was paying attention to Lin Yuan, some were also paying attention to Lin Donglai. After all, Lin Yuan was his close relative, and he had been the one who had invited Lin Yuan to the Flame Howl Sect.
In their opinion, Lin Donglai must know Lin Yuan's strength very well. Since he was not worried, and he knew Luo Yuan's strength, he was obviously confident in Lin Yuan's strength.
"If Lin Yuan challenges Luo Yuan now, even if he has a chance of winning, he will have to pay a heavy price. If he is seriously injured, it will affect his chances of getting into the top three."
Many people felt the same way.
Even Duan Lingtian felt the same way. At the same time, he vaguely realized that Lin Yuan might not challenge anyone.
And according to the rules of the Seven Prefectures' Grand Banquet, he could forfeit and not challenge anyone. This was still better than challenging someone and then intentionally admitting defeat … Once he admitted defeat, even if he defeated everyone in the future, unless the person he defeated was defeated by someone else, he would only be second place at most, and would have no chance at first place.
A short while later, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lin Yuan spoke. "Luo Yuan, I should have challenged you. However, I still feel that there is no need for us to fight so early."
"Let's kick those who shouldn't be in front of us down first before we fight."
"What do you think?
As soon as Lin Yuan spoke, many people were disappointed, but there were also some people who had an expression of "as expected". Like Duan Lingtian, they also guessed that Lin Yuan might abstain.
"I agree."
Luo Yuan smiled faintly. "Don't worry. In this round, I will enter the third place. "
Based on his words, it was obvious that he did not think highly of number three, who was also one of the Unparalleled Prodigies of the Famous Prefecture.
Although the Famous Prefecture's prodigy's expression was ugly, there was nothing he could do. After all, Luo Yuan was indeed stronger than him.
It was not just Luo Yuan. Most of the people in the top ten were stronger than him.
"Number seven abstains."
"Number six, enter the arena."
After Lin Yuan left the arena, Lin Donglai spoke, and a beautiful figure flew over like a fairy and entered the arena in the blink of an eye.
It was the Yuwen Clan's prodigy, Tuoba Xiu.
She was also one of the only two females in the top 30 of the Seven Prefectures' Grand Banquet.
"Will Tuoba Xiu challenge number four or five?"
As Tuoba Xiu entered the arena, many people could not help but whisper among themselves. "I don't think so. Number four is Luo Yuan, and he is definitely not weaker than her."
"As for number five, he is the Qing State Prefecture's Taowu Villa's prodigy. Judging from the strength he displayed earlier, he is also very strong. It's hard to say who will win if Tuoba Xiu fights with him."
"If I were Tuoba Xiu, I would choose to abstain. Once the first few spots have been confirmed, the final ranking battle will be held to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation. "
"I also think she will abstain."
…
Due to Lin Yuan's abstention, even if Tuoba Xiu were to enter the arena now, the crowd was not in high spirits. In fact, they felt that Tuoba Xiu would most likely abstain.
In the end, Tuoba Xiu did not disappoint them and chose to abstain.
After Tuoba Xiu's abstention, it was number five's turn. Ximen, the Qing State Prefecture's Puppet Villa's prodigy, who had previously been challenged by number nine Yang Qianye, chose to abstain as well.
"Three people have abstained in a row. Number four, Luo Yuan, is finally going to enter the arena."
"Luo Yuan previously told Lin Yuan that he would enter the third place in this round. Therefore, he won't abstain."
"There is no need for him to abstain."
…
As expected, when it was Luo Yuan's turn, he did not abstain. Instead, he chose to challenge number three, one of the Famous Prefecture's Peerless Twins.
Earlier, number eight, the other of the Peerless Twins, had chosen to abstain.
Now, one of his peers was being challenged by Luo Yuan.
Although the crowd was confident in Luo Yuan's abilities, they also felt that Luo Yuan's opponent was one of the Famous Prefecture's Peerless Twins. Even if the Peerless Twins were no match for Luo Yuan, there would still be a fierce battle.
Who would have thought that Luo Yuan would be able to injure the Peerless Twins' opponent within three moves?
As for the Peerless Twins' opponent, he had admitted defeat in a timely manner. Clearly, he did not wish to aggravate his injuries.
From the beginning to the end, in the eyes of the crowd, Luo Yuan had not done anything at all. Even if he had expended some of his divine power, he would be able to recover very quickly.
Luo Yuan had won and replaced the Famous Prefecture's prodigy as number three.
As for the Famous Prefecture's prodigy, he had been demoted to number four.
"In the next round, the Famous Prefecture's prodigy might be demoted to number ten. The current number ten, Wang Xiong of the Cold Mountain Residence, will most likely challenge him."
"It's normal for Wang Xiong to challenge him. Earlier, Wang Xiong had displayed an extremely powerful strength, overshadowing the Famous Prefecture's Peerless Twins. If Wang Xiong defeats Wang Xiong in the next round, he will become the number one prodigy of the Famous Prefecture's younger generation."
"I don't think so. They are all from the same prefecture and will see each other frequently. If Wang Xiong does this, won't it be somewhat embarrassing? Wang Xiong's challenge might cause him to miss out on the top ten. "
"You are thinking too much. Even if they are from the same prefecture and are not from the same faction, they won't concede in such a situation. The moment they concede, they will miss out on the top ten. "
…
After Luo Yuan became the new number three, everyone's gazes shifted to the Tung Leng Province's Chunyang School before landing on Duan Lingtian.
"It's Duan Lingtian's turn now."
"Number two, Duan Lingtian!"
"He will most likely forfeit to preserve his strength."
"I also think he will forfeit."
…
Before Duan Ling Tian even entered the arena, the group of people present on the scene already thought he would choose to forfeit like the few people behind him. After that, they would wait for the top ten to be confirmed before the final ranking battle.
"Duan Lingtian, forfeit this round. There is no need to exhaust too much of your godly power."
At the same time, Zhen Pingfan's voice transmitted into Duan Lingtian's ears, reminding him to forfeit this round.
In Zhen Pingfan's opinion, this was the best choice.
"This is also Martial Uncle Ye's intention."
Zhen Pingfan added.
Evidently, Ye Chenfeng also felt that Duan Lingtian should forfeit this round.
"Duan Lingtian, forfeit."
Liu Feng Gu had not spoken much to Duan Lingtian all this time. However, this time, he reminded Duan Lingtian through voice transmission. "Forfeiting won't affect anything … There will be plenty of opportunities to challenge the current number one later."
Faced with Zhen Pingfan and Liu Feng Gu's voice transmission, Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed. He smiled faintly and replied, "I know what I'm doing."
At the same time, Elder Lin Donglai of the Flame Howl Sect, who was in charge of hosting the Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet, announced, "Number two, enter the arena!"
Number two.
Duan Lingtian.
When Duan Ling Tian stepped out into the air, the gazes that were trained on him began to burn with passion.
Although they thought Duan Ling Tian would admit defeat, they were still curious about Duan Ling Tian, a prodigy who had soared to the top in one go.
In their eyes, Duan Lingtian was different from the others.
Although the others, such as Luo Yuan and Han Di, were also very strong, they were all at least 7,000 or 8,000 years old.
As for Duan Lingtian, he was not even 3,000 years old.
He was not even half as old as Luo Yuan and the others.
If he could achieve this at such a young age, by the time he reached Luo Yuan and the others' age, he might already be a God Emperor. Moreover, he might not even be a Lesser God Emperor.
"Duan Lingtian is too pitiful. If he were to participate in the Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet 5,000 years later at the age of 8,000, I'm afraid no one would be his match."
"Given the talent and comprehension ability Duan Lingtian has displayed, he will definitely become a God Emperor in 5,000 years."
"Even if Duan Lingtian becomes a God Emperor, as long as he is younger than 10,000 years old, he can still participate in the Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time."
…
Currently, a lot of people were feeling sorry for Duan Lingtian.
The Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet was held once every 10,000 years. The age of the participants depended heavily on luck.
If one was born not long after the previous Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet, one would undoubtedly have an advantage in this Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet. The later one was born, the less advantage one would have.
For example, those of Duan Lingtian's age would only be at a disadvantage.
"In our sect, there are no disciples of Duan Lingtian's age who have entered the Godemperor Realm."
"In our clan, no matter how high one's talent or comprehension ability is, one will not be able to participate in this Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet."
…
Amidst the lamentation of many people.
Almost everyone believed that Duan Lingtian would forfeit.
Duan Lingtian finally spoke.
"Number 1, enter."
