At the scene of the Seven Prefectures Feast, Duan Lingtian followed the Chunyang School team to the scene. Apart from them, everyone from the various prefectures and major forces were present.
They had become the last group of people to arrive.
"This time … Usually, we come at this time too, right?"
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
As for the others, they were not surprised by this.
Zhen Pingfan said to Ye Chenfeng, "Uncle Ye, I told you to bring them here earlier, but you didn't believe me … I guessed that they would come early today."
"As long as we're not late."
Ye Chenfeng smiled faintly.
"Yes, we're not late."
Zhen Pingfan felt a little helpless. "But if we came earlier and everyone was here earlier, wouldn't the second round of the Seven Prefectures Feast start earlier?"
"If we came earlier, it would still take a day."
Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "It's about the same. There's no rush. "
Zhen Pingfan was completely speechless upon hearing this.
At the same time, after the Chunyang School team arrived, the Elder of the Flame Howl Sect, Lin Donglai, who was in charge of the Seven Prefectures Feast, also appeared.
"Everyone, today is the second round of the ranking battle."
After Lin Donglai appeared, he did not say much and immediately announced the start of the second round of the Seven Prefectures Feast. At the same time, he called out to a young man in the distance. "Number 30, please enter."
Number 30 was the person who was eliminated by Yuan Moyu, the Heaven's Howl Sect of the State Prefecture of Qing.
Speaking of which, he was also unlucky. It was not easy for him to get the token that was closest to the top twenty, but he lost it in the first round and was replaced with number 30.
Of course, although he was replaced, he did not have any complaints, because he was indeed not as good as others.
He even felt that there was a huge gap between him and the Heaven's Pride of the State Prefecture of Qing. Not to mention him, even if three or five of him went up together, they would not be a match for him.
"Number 21 and 22 are definitely impossible to challenge … I can only choose those who are closer to the top and whom I have confidence in."
After number 30 entered, he began to look for his target.
Finally, he locked onto number 24.
However, he failed the challenge.
He could only continue to hold his number 30 token obediently. "Are all of you so insidious? This number 24 didn't seem to be stronger than me earlier. I didn't expect him to be so strong against me. "
At that instant, the thirtieth ranked genius was in a very bad mood.
"Number 29."
However, Lin Donglai didn't care about No.30's feelings. When No.30 was about to leave, Lin Donglai asked No.29 to enter.
One by one, people entered the arena to challenge. Some succeeded, while others failed.
As time passed, it was soon Moqi Hong's turn on the 22nd contestant.
When Moqi Hong entered the arena, many people thought that he would forfeit.
Now, he only had two choices.
Either he fought Yuan Mo Yu on the 21st, or he forfeited.
The second option would allow them to preserve their strength.
The first choice was to fight Yuan Moyu, and that would put him in danger of being injured.
The number 22 was actually a little awkward in this Seven Prefectures Feast ranking battle … because he could only challenge number 21, and couldn't surpass number 21 to challenge number 20.
"Forfeit."
In the end, just as everyone had guessed, Moqi Hong chose to forfeit.
In fact, this was his best choice.
In fact, the Patriarch of the Moqi Clan, Moqi Yuning, had asked him to forfeit yesterday. Moreover, he knew this was his only choice.
Yuan Mo Yu would challenge number 21 in the next round, and he would enter the top 20 in the next round.
After Moqi Hong forfeited, it was Yuan Mo Yu's turn.
Naturally, Yuan Mo Yu would not forfeit.
This was his chance to enter the top 20. If he forfeited, he would have to wait for the next round, and it would be meaningless. "I don't seem to have any other choice. Number 20, it's your turn."
Although number 20 was strong, he could only be unlucky when he encountered Yuan Mo Yu.
Yuan Moyu's one strike completely routed all of his means, defeating him.
Yuan Mo Yu had entered the top 20.
He had the right to challenge number 11 in the next round. As long as he succeeded, he would have a chance to enter the top 10 in the next round.
"Elder Zhen."
At the Pure Sun Sect's side, Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought of a problem, and he couldn't help but ask Zhen Pingfan. "There seems to be a slight loophole in the rules of this ranking battle … If a few people from our Pure Sun Sect obtain the number 10 command token and send the strongest person to guard the door at number 10 and prevent the people behind from entering the top 10, then wouldn't our Pure Sun Sect be able to directly obtain a few positions in the top 10 in the end?"
"That's indeed the case."
Zhen Pingfan nodded and then said, "However, if there's someone with extraordinary strength who's blocked from entering the top 10 because of the rules, according to the earliest rules of the Seven Prefectures Feast, he might have a chance to enter the top 10."
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. There was a way to enter the top 10?
"From what we know of the rules of the Seven Prefectures Feast, there's no mention of this, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked. He racked his brains but couldn't remember such a rule.
"This rule has always been there, but it's not applicable, so gradually no one mentioned it … However, once the situation you mentioned occurs, this rule will also come into play."
Zhen Pingfan said.
"What rule?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
Zhen Pingfan didn't keep him in suspense. "If such a situation occurs, the young prodigies who are blocked out of the top 10 and the forces behind them can apply to challenge anyone in the top 10.
"However, they have to pay one million liang of Divine Crystals or treasures worth no less than one million liang of Divine Crystals as an entry fee."
Zhen Pingfan said with a smile, "And the one million liang of Divine Crystals they pay is an extra reward for the champion of the Seven Prefectures Feast.
Of course, as long as they enter the top 10 using this method, they can continue to fight for the top three.
"If they feel that the third place is deliberately creating obstacles to prevent them from entering the top three … If they and the forces behind them have any objections, they can spend another ten million liang of Divine Crystals to challenge the first or second place.
The ten million liang of Divine Crystals will also become the reward for the champion. "
Zhen Pingfan paused for a moment before he continued, "In other words, if they have the ability to obtain the first place, the Divine Crystals they pay will return to them in the end.
If they don't obtain the first place, even if they obtain the second place, the Divine Crystals will become the extra reward for the champion.
However, such a situation usually doesn't occur.
"First of all, the competition for the numbered tokens also depends on one's strength … If a person from a force isn't strong enough, it'll be very difficult for them to obtain the numbered tokens at the top.
Of course, there's also the possibility of people from different forces working together … Under such circumstances, the rule I mentioned earlier is also a way for those who are blocked to bypass the gatekeepers and move forward.
"It's precisely because of this rule that the situation you mentioned has never occurred in the Seven Prefectures Feast … Later on, unless they specifically ask about it, even the higher-ups of the major forces don't mention this rule to the juniors.
Unless the juniors have doubts about it. "
…
After listening to Zhen Pingfan's explanation, Duan Lingtian gained a deeper understanding of the rules of the Seven Prefectures Feast.
If there was such a rule, there would be no need to worry about people intentionally blocking the path.
While Duan Lingtian and Zhen Pingfan were communicating through Voice Transmission, another two people went up one after another. One of them successfully challenged his target while the other failed.
As time passed, it was soon the turn of number 11 who had not been challenged. It was He Yuxi, the prodigy of the Spirit Consonance Mansion's Hao Shen Sect.
He Yuxi was publicly acknowledged as the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Spirit Consonance Mansion before Han Di from the Qi Tian Sect of the Spirit Consonance Mansion revealed his strength.
However, at this moment, he was in an awkward position.
He could only challenge number 10.
As for number 10, Wang Xiong, who had defeated him in the previous round, there was no need for him to challenge him at all.
Moreover, he was not qualified to challenge Wang Xiong since he had already been defeated by Wang Xiong.
For this reason, when it was He Yuxi's turn, Lin Donglai, the emcee, skipped over him and looked at Wang Xiong from the Han Mountain Mansion. "Number 10, please enter the arena."
After Wang Xiong entered the arena, the emotions of the spectators, who were initially low, were completely lifted at this moment.
"Who do you think Wang Xiong will challenge?"
"The person in front of Wang Xiong is number 9, Yang Qianye. His strength is extraordinary, and it's obvious he's stronger than the prodigy from number 8. As for the people in front of him, apart from the prodigy from number 4, the rest are not pushovers. I think he'll challenge one of the prodigies from the Famous Mansion. "
"Both number 8 and number 4 are prodigies from the Famous Mansion like him. Moreover, both of them are known as the Peerless Twin Prodigies in the Famous Mansion. They're widely acknowledged as the two most outstanding prodigies among the younger generation in the Famous Mansion. If he defeats both of them today, even if he only defeats one of them, he'll be recognized as the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Famous Mansion! "
"I think he'll challenge number 8 and number 4 as well. I wonder what he'll choose?"
"If he challenges number 4, he might be challenged by the people behind him. I think it's safer for him to challenge number 8, right? If he challenges number 8 and becomes the new number 8, Yang Qianye will definitely challenge number 4 or forfeit. At that time, he'll be safe and won't have to worry about being challenged by the other prodigies. "
…
At this moment, the crowd was clearly worried about Wang Xiong.
Wang Xiong, on the other hand, was mentally exhausted.
Is it so easy to guess what I'm thinking?
Finally, Wang Xiong spoke, challenging the number eight, the young man who was also a Heaven's Chosen of the Great Manor, one of the Twin Prides of the Great Manor's younger generation.
"Senior Brother Wang Xiong!"
"If Senior Brother Wang Xiong defeats him, he'll be the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Famous Mansion!"
…
When the sky-pride from the Famous Mansion entered the arena, many people from the Famous Mansion's Han Mountain Residence had their eyes lit up. Their faces were filled with anticipation.
