Dongsheng Ting had a smile on his face, exuding an extraordinary demeanor. He stared at the participants as he continued, "The rankings of the first round can't determine the final rankings. Next, everyone still has to work hard and fight for the top three positions."
"Can I give you a suggestion?" At this moment, a voice drifted over from the ancient zhantian platform. Momentarily, everyone turned their gazes over, it was none other than Jun Mengchen.
Dongsheng Ting also noticed Jun Mengchen as he smiled, "Speak."
"For the second round, can you be more transparent? At the very least, let everyone know what we experienced." Jun Mengchen faintly spoke, his words causing strange expressions to appear on the faces of the participants. Given their intelligence, they naturally understood the meaning behind Jun Mengchen's words.
However, although this Jun Mengchen had an explosive temper, he didn't say it so directly. But evidently, he was hinting at something.
"In the earlier first round, the Dream Demon King entered our dreamscape. I asked my senior brothers and sisters about it and the experiences of everyone are different. Although senior Dream Demon King is the one controlling everything, it's inevitable that there would be some deviation. In fact, if I were to say something disrespectful, senior Dream Demon King can decide the rankings with a single thought. Because in front of senior Dream Demon King, we have no way to resist at all. If he wants us to come out, we have to come out."
Jun Mengchen continued, his tone sharper than before. However, he still didn't doubt the results of the first round and wouldn't really go against Dongsheng Ting and the Dream Demon King. He understood that there would be no results if he did so.
"Hence, I suggest to your highness that for the second round, it's better to be more transparent. In this case, at the very least, everyone would know what they experienced and the seniors here would be able to see it with a single glance. At the very least, no one would doubt the results of the second round. After all, this is the immortal banquet hosted by the Dongshengxian Gate."
Jun Mengchen's last sentence was extremely obvious. This was the immortal banquet of the Dongshengxian Gate. If you, Dongsheng Ting, wanted to control things from the shadows, you could directly decide the ending.
"I also agree with Jun Mengchen's suggestion. I hope your highness can consider it." Zi Qingxuan added. Her countenance was calm, no emotions could be seen in her beautiful eyes.
"I think so too." At this moment, an indifferent voice rang out. It was Mo Wen's voice. Three people had spoken up consecutively. This was not a light weight, and one of them was not Qin Wentian.
"I also hope that next time, if I, Qin, am in last place again, I will be convinced." Qin Wentian faintly spoke. Mo Wen's attitude caused him to be taken aback. Initially, he didn't want to say anything, but in this case, four out of the ten participants had already expressed their opinions. This Dongsheng Ting had no choice but to seriously consider their opinions.
The four of them clearly pointed out a topic. If Dongsheng Ting insisted on doing things his way, it would be too obvious.
"Since all of you have put it this way, I, Dongsheng Ting, naturally agree." Dongsheng Ting straightforwardly agreed with no hesitation.
"The misunderstanding caused by the first round was due to my lack of consideration. The ten participants in the final round are all peerless geniuses, brimming with confidence. It's only natural for them to feel indignant about being ranked at the bottom. I should have thought of this earlier. I should have arranged for everyone to see the battle clearly so that I wouldn't be questioned."
"For the first round, I caused everyone to misunderstand. The ten participants of the second round are all supreme geniuses that exuded boundless magnificence throughout the generations and were filled with confidence. Since they were ranked last, they naturally wouldn't be convinced in their hearts. I should have thought of this earlier and arranged for a round where everyone could see it clearly. That way, I wouldn't be doubted."
As the sound of his voice faded, a moment later, several experts moved a gigantic devil statue towards the battle platform.
This devil statue was extremely terrifying, containing an intense will within it. It had three heads and six arms, three faces and three pairs of eyes. No matter where one was, they would be able to see the devil statue's eyes with a single glance.
This devil statue was extremely terrifying, as though it contained an intense will of will within. It had three heads and six arms, three faces and three pairs of eyes. No matter where one was, they would be able to see the devil statue's eyes with a single glance.
However, when the participants stared intently at the devil statue's eyes, they instantly felt a terrifying vortex swirling around them. Those pitch-black eyes seemed to want to devour them as numerous terrifying devil generals lunged towards them, causing their countenances to tremble as they hurriedly averted their gazes, guarding their hearts and minds.
"This devil statue is extremely strange." The hearts of everyone trembled. Those experts moved the devil statue towards the platform and directly moved it up, placing it at the center of the platform.
Qin Wentian and the other eight geniuses already discovered the strangeness of the devil statue when it was moved up. This devil statue contained a fearsome will of will and was able to attack people.
Dongsheng Ting then spoke, "The second test is very simple. This devil statue contains an extremely powerful will. You guys just have to circle around it and stare at the eyes of the statue, enduring its might. Whoever can shift their eyes away first would be ranked last, and whoever persisted the longest would be ranked first. In this case, the test should be transparent enough, right?" Dongsheng Ting nodded, "That's right." Qin Wentian nodded.
The participants didn't say anything more. Dongsheng Ting continued, "Right now, the ten of you, stand in your positions and circle around the devil statue. Close your eyes and when I say 'start', all of you have to open your eyes at the same time and stare into the eyes of the statue."
The ten geniuses followed Dongsheng Ting's instructions and stood in ten different positions around the devil statue. They faced the statue and closed their eyes.
In just an instant, all ten of them were in their positions.
"It's about to begin. The second round is extremely important. Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan didn't seem to be convinced by the results of the first round and were ranked at the back. But if their rankings are any worse in the second round, there's no hope for them to enter the top three."
"Gusu Tianqi is indeed the top ranker of the Eastern Prefecture. His popularity is still the highest and there's no need to doubt his combat prowess. And in the first round of the test, he already obtained the first position. As long as he is ranked within the top three in this round, he would already be one of the top three rankers."
"The disciple of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, Hua Taixu also has a high chance of entering the top three. Other than Gusu Tianqi and Hua Taixu, there's only Feather King left."
Before this, they all thought that Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen also had a high chance of entering the top three. But after the first round, their ranking was already too low. Their chances of entering the top three had plummeted. Now, they had to see if they could turn the situation around.
"Begin."
At this moment, Dongsheng Ting's voice rang out. The ten geniuses all opened their eyes at the same time, staring into the eyes of the devil statue.
At the instant Qin Wentian opened his eyes, he instantly felt his heart trembling. This was a pair of devil eyes, akin to an unparalleled abyss. In just an instant, one's consciousness would be drawn into it.
Qin Wentian had a feeling that his soul was being pulled into another dimension. That was a strand of his consciousness being drawn into the eyes of the devil statue.
This was a terrifying abyss, a blood-colored world where there was no daylight. This entire world was akin to purgatory.
The ancient city was in ruins, the earth was broken, and there were many broken divine weapons stabbed into the ground, stained with fresh blood. Abruptly, Qin Wentian inclined his head as his heart pounded violently. He saw a devil that was over ten million meters tall, like a supreme devil king staring at him.
This devil stretched his hand out and a moment later, a blood-colored saber appeared in his hand, exuding a terrifying aura.
The devil lifted the saber and slashed it out, causing the heavens and earth to be split apart. Qin Wentian's countenance paled, there was no way he could defend against this saber that slashed through the skies.
A single slash was sufficient to slay him.
"No, it's just a strand of my consciousness. As long as my soul remains, my will remains unaffected." Qin Wentian warned himself. As the saber light descended, everything dissipated. Qin Wentian's body was directly split apart, it was as though he had just experienced a baptism of death.
Outside, Qin Wentian's original body groaned in misery. His countenance was as pale as paper, and he felt an intense pain in his head. He took a step back, but his gaze was still fixed on the statue before him, unwavering. His eyes were still fixated on that pair of devilish eyes.
The devil eyes contained a terrifying devouring power. Once again, a strand of Qin Wentian's consciousness was drawn into it. Qin Wentian appeared in that blood-colored world once more.
The devil king in the air was still staring at him, exuding an incomparably terrifying coldness. This time, the devil king's palm slashed downwards. Qin Wentian felt the heavens and earth turning dark. He wanted to flee, yet he discovered that there was no place for him to flee.
In just an instant, his body was grabbed by the incomparably gigantic devil king, lifted up and placed in front of his eyes.
The eyes of the devil king were as terrifying as the abyss, able to pierce through him with a single glance. After that, the devil king clenched his fist, causing Qin Wentian to feel a sense of despair and agony. After that, his body directly turned into ashes as he experienced death once more. This time around, it was even more miserable compared to the last time.
Qin Wentian's original body retreated a few more steps as he groaned in misery. His countenance grew even paler. Not only him, the others also had some reaction. It was just that Qin Wentian's reaction was the most intense.
In fact, Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with a blood-red light. However, he continued to stare fixedly ahead. That pair of devilish eyes was like a bottomless abyss, corroding his sea of consciousness once more. There was no way to block it at all.
"Could it be that this Qin Wentian's will is truly weak? Before this, he was ranked last. But now, the one with the greatest reaction is him again." An immortal king spoke. However, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, Undying Immortal King and the others all frowned, feeling some doubt in their hearts.
They had met Qin Wentian before in the past. He was extremely powerful and had a resolute will. Although the ten people here were all very strong, he shouldn't be the weakest among them.
However, the truth was right before their eyes. Everyone was facing the same predicament. Qin Wentian was no exception.
Bai Wuya was calm from start to end. From the start till the end, he didn't say anything and was like an outsider.
Although the countenance of the White Robe Immortal King was calm, there were waves of shock in his heart. This examination was truly difficult for these little fellows. Dongsheng Ting clearly didn't allow them to obtain the top three. Qin Wentian, if they wanted to pass the examination, they had to fight against the rules.
Casting a deep glance at the devil statue, Bai Wuya completely believed that there was something strange about this statue!
