Although Moqi Hong's expression was not ugly when he entered the venue, it was slightly gloomy.
Especially when he heard the crowd's discussion about whether he would challenge Yang Qianye or Ximen next, his expression became even more gloomy.
Was he, Moqi Hong, only qualified to be compared to Yang Qianye and Ximen?
However, when he entered the venue and thought about the others before him, his expression changed again.
According to the rules, he was not qualified to challenge the top three.
Unless the Moqi Clan behind him was willing to pay the price of a large number of divine crystals to give him the right to challenge the top three.
However, that was not necessary for the Moqi Clan.
It was purely a gift of divine crystals!
"Lin Yuan, Tuoba Xiu, Wang Xiong …"
Now, apart from Yang Qianye, Ximen, and Yuan Moyu, who he was not qualified to challenge, he only had these three choices.
Tuoba Xiu. His battle with Yuan Moyu, who had displayed his true strength, made him realize the gap between him and them, so he naturally wouldn't challenge him.
Lin Yuan was an external aid invited by the Mystic Jade Mansion's Flame Howl Sect. According to the Moqi Clan's Patriarch, Moqi Yuning, Lin Yuan was most likely from a Godly Venerable Rank family outside the Seven Mansions!
The reason he was invited to the Seven Mansions Feast was because the Flame Howl Sect was determined to get into the top three or even first place!
In addition, the Moqi Clan's Patriarch had also said that he had observed Lin Yuan. Even the battle between Tuoba Xiu and Yuan Moyu did not make Lin Yuan change his expression.
In such a situation, either Lin Yuan was pretending to be calm, or Lin Yuan did not care about the strength displayed by Tuoba Xiu and Yuan Moyu.
His Patriarch was more inclined to believe the latter.
Under such circumstances, he naturally could not take the risk to challenge Lin Yuan. If he was quickly defeated, it would undoubtedly be one disaster after another, and it would be even more embarrassing for him!
As such, he was left with only one choice if he did not challenge Yang Qianye and Ximen.
Wang Xiong!
This prodigy from the Cold Mountain Residence was initially thought to be skilled in the Law of Earth. However, when he was challenged by Yang Qianye, he displayed the stronger Law of Metal and defeated Yang Qianye in one fell swoop.
"Unless I challenge Yang Qianye and Ximen … I can only challenge Wang Xiong."
Moqi Hong's gaze swept across the surroundings before locking onto Wang Xiong in the direction of the Hanshan Residence of the Daming Residence.
As for his gaze, there were actually people who had been paying attention to it the entire time. Now that his gaze was locked onto Wang Xiong, the eyes of many people immediately lit up. "Is Moqi Hong planning to challenge Wang Xiong?"
"I thought he would challenge Yang Qianye and Ximen. After all, it can be seen that these two are the weakest among the top ten … I didn't expect him to choose Wang Xiong!"
"Wang Xiong might not even be able to display his full strength now … Isn't it a little risky for him to do this?"
"If he loses this battle again, that would be a joke … The former number one of the younger generation in Tung Leng Province has actually fallen to such a state!"
"To be honest, Moqi Hong isn't weak at all. At the very least, the strength he displayed is much stronger than what Wang Xiong displayed earlier. I feel that he might not necessarily lose against Wang Xiong. "
…
Duan Lingtian did not notice Moqi Hong's gaze. However, when he heard the discussions around him, he could not help but be startled.
Was Moqi Hong planning to challenge Wang Xiong?
He remembered that in the previous round, when everyone thought Moqi Hong was right to challenge Yang Qianye, he did not challenge Yang Qianye. Instead, he chose Yuan Mo Yu.
However, it ended in a draw.
In the beginning, everyone thought Yuan Mo Yu's strength was on par with his. However, when Yuan Mo Yu fought with Tuoba Xiu, they realized Yuan Mo Yu did not use his full strength in his battle with Moqi Hong.
"Isn't he afraid he'll fail again if he challenges Wang Xiong?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Moqi Hong before he shook his head.
If he had thought of Moqi Hong as an important figure in the past, he now felt that Moqi Hong was merely a pitiful person who was controlled by his emotions.
Even Duan Lingtian could not see through Wang Xiong.
However, he had a strong feeling that Wang Xiong was not weak at all.
Wang Xiong might not be weaker than Moqi Hong!
"Hm?"
Just when Duan Lingtian thought that Moqi Hong was going to challenge Wang Xiong, he subconsciously glanced at Moqi Hong. However, Moqi Hong suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the Moqi Clan.
Duan Lingtian immediately saw that the Moqi Clan's Golden Seat Elder, Moqi Yuning, was looking at Moqi Hong. It was obvious that he was talking to Moqi Hong through Sound Transmission.
"It seems like the situation has changed."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
At this moment, Moqi Yuning was most likely telling Duan Lingtian not to challenge Wang Xiong through Sound Transmission.
As expected, what happened next verified Duan Lingtian's guess.
Just when everyone thought that Moqi Hong would challenge Wang Xiong, Moqi Hong spoke in an indifferent tone. "Number seven, Ximen."
Ximen Longxiang, the supreme talent of the Puppet Villa in the State Capital of Qing, was currently ranked number seven.
Moqi Hong had chosen to challenge Wang Xiong, just as everyone had guessed earlier!
Naturally, before this, everyone thought that Moqi Hong would challenge Wang Xiong.
Moreover, Moqi Hong had glanced at the Moqi Clan at the critical moment before changing his target. It was obvious that someone from the Moqi Clan had advised him not to challenge Wang Xiong.
"It seems like the people from the Moqi Clan think that Moqi Hong might not be a match for Wang Xiong … They think highly of Wang Xiong."
"It seems like Wang Xiong didn't show his strength earlier."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing Wang Xiong fight again."
…
The discussions were especially ear-piercing when they entered Moqi Hong's ears, causing his face to flush red.
How could this be?
At this moment, he even regretted listening to the Old Ancestor of the Moqi Clan, Moqi Yuning, and not challenging Wang Xiong.
"Idiot!"
At this moment, Moqi Yuning, the Golden Seat Elder of the Moqi Clan, felt helpless and exhausted.
This idiot!
Why did he look at him when he was communicating with him through Sound Transmission?
Was he not telling everyone that it was him or the people from the Moqi Clan who advised him not to challenge Wang Xiong?
Idiot!
In the past, Moqi Yuning thought Moqi Hong was quite smart. However, at this moment, he felt that Moqi Hong was so stupid that it gave him a headache!
At this moment, the other high-ranking officials of the Moqi Clan looked at each other helplessly.
They were exhausted.
…
Ximen Longxiang also flew out from the Qing State Mansion's Bi 'an Villa's camp in the face of Moqi Hong's challenge.
Although he knew he was not as strong as Moqi Hong, he had no intention of admitting defeat.
Moqi Hong was someone who had lost to Duan Lingtian.
He was someone who wanted to compete with Duan Lingtian. Moreover, if he was afraid to fight someone who had lost to Duan Lingtian, then he was not worthy to compete with Duan Lingtian!
Due to this reason, Ximen Longxiang was very serious when facing Moqi Hong. The moment he made his move, he attacked like a storm and suppressed Moqi Hong who was defenseless.
Originally, Moqi Hong thought the prodigy from Puppet Villa was only so-so. He thought the prodigy from Puppet Villa would definitely know he was not as strong as him. Even if he did not know him, he would just go through the motions.
But he didn't expect that the other party's fighting style of 'Daring Third Brother' would stun him!
Those who did not know better might think that they had a deep hatred for each other.
"You're courting death!"
At this moment, Moqi Hong, who was being suppressed, seemed to have sensed the dumbfounded and mocking gazes around him. He was so angry that his face turned red. The thunderbolts on his body surged as he unleashed his full strength.
Then, Ximen Longxiang who had the upper hand was completely suppressed by him.
Immediately after, Ximen Longxiang was severely injured by Moqi Hong's attack. When Moqi Hong wanted to make a second move, Lin Donglai made his move and blocked Moqi Hong's attack.
"He has lost. This is the end of it."
Lin Donglai said.
Ximen Longxiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth when he was exchanging tokens with Moqi Hong. He grinned at Moqi Hong and said, "Moqi Hong, from today onwards, I, Ximen Longxiang, will treat you as my touchstone.
"When I can defeat you, it will mean that the gap between me and Duan Lingtian will be shortened.
"Although my target is Duan Lingtian, I hope that you will make good progress and not let me down."
Ximen Longxiang turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking.
At this moment, Moqi Hong finally understood why Ximen Longxiang attacked him as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He did not intend to go through the motions at all.
It turned out that he was treating him as his touchstone!
He even said that after defeating him, it would mean that the gap between him and Duan Lingtian would be shortened.
"What does this mean?
Does he think that I, Moqi Hong, am inferior to Duan Lingtian?
Does he think that I, Moqi Hong, will be defeated by Duan Lingtian for the rest of my life? "
Moqi Hong, who was already in a bad mood, was completely enraged this time. He stared at Ximen Longxiang's receding figure with a murderous look in his eyes.
This was the first time in his life that he wanted to kill someone so badly.
Even when his ancestor was killed by Ye Chenfeng, the ancestor of the Hidden Sword Branch of Chunyang School, he had not felt such a strong murderous intent.
At this moment, although Moqi Hong had obtained the number seven token and was temporarily ranked seventh in the Seven Prefectures Feast, he was not happy at all. His expression was gloomy.
"Number nine, please enter the arena."
After Lin Donglai reminded Moqi Jue to leave, Lin Donglai spoke loudly and looked in the direction of the people from Chunyang School.
Number nine was the disciple of Chunyang School, Yang Qianye.
"Number four."
Many people thought that Yang Qianye would forfeit, but to their surprise, he flew directly into the arena and challenged Yuan Moyu, who was temporarily ranked fourth in the Seven Prefectures Feast.
The result was within the expectations of the onlookers.
Yang Qianye was defeated by Yuan Moyu.
However, Yuan Moyu also left him some face. Only after ten moves did he deal a heavy blow to defeat him.
"It turns out that the gap between me and him is so big …"
The moment he was defeated, Yang Qianye finally came to his senses. The sense of superiority that had arisen due to his rapid improvement in strength had completely disappeared.
It turned out that he was still so weak.
"Yuan Moyu is so strong, and Tuoba Xiu is not weak either … Will Duan Lingtian be stronger than them?"
In the past, Yang Qianye did not have much of an idea of Duan Lingtian's strength, especially since Duan Lingtian's strength had improved significantly this time.
However, he now realized that the gap between him and Duan Lingtian was wider than he had imagined. It was impossible to surpass him in a short time.
