One, two, three … …
Ten, twenty, thirty … …
… …
Looking at the contestants that passed the second stage of the competition, Prince Ling's face was extremely ugly.
Moreover, it wasn't just him. All the contestants who had passed before Qin Shaofeng had ugly expressions on their faces.
Before Qin Shaofeng, apart from Prince Ling and the Demon Prince, there were also quite a few people that passed the second stage of the competition.
When Qin Shaofeng passed, he was already in the top ten.
However, Prince Ling and the others weren't worried. The more contestants that passed, the more competitors there would be, and the greater the pressure on them.
These contestants were all geniuses, and they didn't put the majority of the contestants in their eyes.
No matter how many of these contestants there were, they wouldn't be a threat to them.
In Prince Ling's eyes, apart from Qin Shaofeng and the Demon Prince, no one else was worthy of his attention.
But the problem was, using such a simple protective rune formation to pass the second stage of the competition, compared to the other formations they had set up.
This made them seem like fools.
They clearly had such a simple method, but they spent so much time and effort to set up such a powerful and difficult formation. It was completely asking for trouble.
Especially after seeing so many contestants pass the second stage of the competition, even Prince Ling and the others felt that their previous actions were completely idiotic.
But no matter what, more and more contestants passed the second stage of the competition.
Although the other contestants could at most fuse Six Star protective runes, a Seven Star protective rune formation could at most be set up with a few times more Six Star protective runes.
At this stage, to the eighteen hundred contestants that passed the first stage of the competition, they could all be considered as formation masters.
After all, with so many contestants participating and only eighteen hundred contestants remaining, it was naturally not easy.
Although these contestants were still some distance away from being Array Masters, under the premise that they knew that the fusion of the Protection Runes would increase the star level, it was a very easy task to set up a 1-star to 7-star Protection Rune Formation.
If things continued like this, even if there were 1,800 contestants, it would not be impossible for them to pass the second stage of the competition.
And looking at the current situation, it seemed that this matter was basically set in stone.
Thus, facing such a situation, the judges were in a difficult position.
This was because under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be many contestants participating in the third stage of the competition.
In fact, under normal circumstances, at most twenty to thirty contestants could pass the second stage of the competition.
Thus, at most thirty contestants would participate in the third stage of the competition.
And at the beginning of the third stage of the formation competition, the competition that was prepared was for 50 people to participate at the same time.
But now?
Not to mention 50 people, even the competition that was previously prepared for 500 people to participate in at the same time was already not enough.
Because the contestants that passed the second stage of the competition had already exceeded 500 Contestants already.
This was also why the judges were certain that Qin Shaofeng wasn't here to compete at all. He was definitely here to cause trouble.
However, if that were to happen, the matter would be beyond the jurisdiction of the Tribunal.
They had no choice but to ask for instructions from the higher-ups.
The higher-ups naturally referred to Bai Lao and the other Sovereign Supremes.
It had to be said that at this moment, when faced with such a situation, the Sovereign Supremes also felt that Qin Shaofeng was here to cause trouble.
However, they also knew what to say now, because Qin Shaofeng's situation really made things difficult for them.
If Qin Shaofeng had taken advantage of the situation and found a loophole to pass the second stage of the competition with protective runes, it would be impossible for him to do so.
However, after Qin Shaofeng successfully set up the Twelve Uniyuan Dao Formations, the Sovereign Supremes all knew that Qin Shaofeng's ability in array formations was extremely outstanding compared to all the other contestants present.
He had even set up the Twelve Uniyuan Dao Formations. What else could they say?
If Qin Shaofeng hadn't used the Twelve Uniyuan Dao Formations or the other Uniyuan Dao Formations to pass the second stage of the competition with protective runes, the Sovereign Supremes probably wouldn't have been able to tolerate it.
However, that wasn't the case now!
Qin Shaofeng had already displayed the ability he should have. It was just that he had used protective runes to pass the final seven-star stage.
Moreover, the rules they had set at the beginning didn't have any special requirements. As long as a contestant could set up a one-star to seven-star array formation in the second stage of the competition, they would be considered to have passed the second stage.
However, these Sovereign Supremes had forgotten about protective runes. This was a special yet ordinary array formation.
Perhaps it was because it was too ordinary that these experts had overlooked it.
Therefore, the fault really didn't lie with Qin Shaofeng.
Faced with such a situation, the Sovereign Supremes didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Sigh … What is this?"
"We were careless. We were too careless. How could we have overlooked such a loophole?"
"Ha ha … Who would have thought that we would use such a simple and ordinary protective rune in such an important competition?"
"Yes, I have to say that Qin Shaofeng is really unexpected!"
"White Emperor, it seems like you have taken in a good disciple. Not only is his ability to set up arrays beyond our expectations, but his methods are also so unique!"
"Ha ha ha … That's right. It seems like Brother White has found a successor!"
"…"
It was obvious that the Sovereign Supremes present were very satisfied with Qin Shaofeng's performance.
Many of them were even a little jealous of the White Emperor for taking in such an outstanding disciple.
The White Emperor was naturally very happy. Qin Shaofeng was being praised by so many Sovereign Supremes.
At that moment, the White Emperor's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Jiang Hengtian.
He wanted to see what kind of attitude the Heavenly Emperor Jiang Hengtian had.
However, what made the White Emperor depressed was that Jiang Hengtian's face was still calm and indifferent. There was no change in his expression at all.
This made the White Emperor even more depressed. His originally happy mood was greatly reduced.
However, the White Emperor didn't know that the seemingly calm Jiang Hengtian was actually feeling very conflicted.
After Qin Shaofeng had set up the seven-star protective rune and passed the second stage of the competition, Qin Shaofeng had immediately dispelled the Divine Awakening state and the Celestial Demon Eye state.
Then, Qin Shaofeng's aura returned to normal.
Neither the Celestial Demon Eye state nor the Divine Awakening state had caused Qin Shaofeng's aura to change too much. In the eyes of ordinary people, Qin Shaofeng's aura didn't change much.
At most, there would be some fluctuations in his aura due to setting up the array.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this was the normal state of setting up an array.
However, when Qin Shaofeng had used the Divine Awakening state and made Jiang Hengtian think that it was the Demon Slayer Clan's Spirit Return ability, Jiang Hengtian had been paying close attention to Qin Shaofeng.
The moment Qin Shaofeng dispelled the Divine Awakening state, Jiang Hengtian finally felt a special change in Qin Shaofeng's aura.
"It dissipated?"
"Did the Spirit Return state dissipate?"
"This feeling and state seems to be very similar to the Spirit Return state."
Sensing the unique change in Qin Shaofeng's aura, Jiang Hengtian's heart was once again unsettled.
This was because he was beginning to realize that Qin Shaofeng's situation was becoming more and more unexpected.
Now, even an ability similar to the Spirit Return state had appeared. This made him somewhat incredulous.
In Jiang Hengtian's opinion, Qin Shaofeng's ability wasn't the true Spirit Return state.
He had seen the state and aura of the Spirit Return state before, so he couldn't be mistaken.
However, even if it wasn't the Spirit Return state, it wasn't much different.
But this was too strange. How could such a situation occur?
"It's too strange. When I saw Qin Shaofeng back then, I clearly checked him thoroughly. He didn't have the bloodline of the Demon Slayer Clan at all, nor did he have the bloodline of the Demons. He didn't even have a strong spirit root."
"But how is it that in just a dozen years, his body has undergone such a drastic change? Even an ability similar to the Spirit Return state has appeared? "
"Could it be …"
Suddenly, Jiang Hengtian seemed to have thought of something and his heart trembled.
"Could it be that Qin Shaofeng was also affected by the Ancestral Awakening power?"
"That's right. Only the Ancestral Awakening power can cause such a change in Qin Shaofeng. After all, it's very difficult to detect the Ancestral Awakening power before it's awakened, and once it's awakened, it's easy to mutate."
"That child Yuxi's Ancestral Awakening power didn't mutate, so it wouldn't affect her, but she used the Ancestral Awakening power on that person. And it's precisely because of this that … "
The light in Jiang Hengtian's eyes grew brighter and brighter. At this moment, Jiang Hengtian seemed to have understood many things. "That's right. This Qin Shaofeng should have a mutation of the Ancestral Awakening power, just like that girl. However, this Qin Shaofeng's Demon Slayer bloodline is clearly not as strong as that girl's, so even if he awakened the Spirit Return state, it's definitely not very complete. After all, compared to that girl, this Qin Shaofeng is much stronger.
It's a bit early to be born. "
"However, even so, the Spirit Return state is still very powerful. If not, this Qin Shaofeng probably wouldn't have been able to forcibly set up the seven-star Twelve Paths of One Origin Formation at this level."
"If that's the case …"
A trace of thought flashed through his eyes. No one noticed that a trace of thought and hesitation flashed through Jiang Hengtian's eyes at this moment.
"Should we use this situation to let Qin Shaofeng return?"
The Spirit Return state was a powerful ability unique to the Demon Slayer Clan, and it was the most powerful one.
Therefore, even if he felt that the Spirit Return state that Qin Shaofeng had awakened was not the complete state of the Spirit Return state.
However, Jiang Hengtian also didn't want Qin Shaofeng to be stranded in the outside world.
Subconsciously glancing at the White Emperor not far away, Jiang Hengtian's heart stirred.
"Perhaps there is such a possibility. After all, this Qin Shaofeng is the disciple of the White Emperor. The White Emperor is extremely strong and is a powerful persuasive force. Moreover, this Qin Shaofeng's talent is not bad, and he has awakened an ability similar to the Spirit Return state. He is a rare genius! "
"However, if we want to convince those old fellows in the clan, this is not enough. Unless … "
In the next moment, Jiang Hengtian's gaze turned and fell on Qin Shaofeng in the arena. A trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"If this Qin Shaofeng can win first place in all the fields of this all-round competition, it is enough to prove his monstrous talent. In this way, in the face of such a genius, those old fellows will probably be tempted. "
