At first, the many heaven-class core disciples of the Heaven Dragon Palace did not believe their eyes.
When the white-bearded old man announced that the Heaven Dragon Palace's Xiao Chen obtained the first rank, everyone felt like they were startled awake from a dream.
Only then did they wake up from a dream. The emotions that they had been suppressing for a long time erupted, and they could not help but cheer.
"Senior Brother Xiao Chen obtained the first rank!"
"He really obtained the first rank. The first rank belongs to our Heaven Dragon Palace. We are not at the bottom!"
The eyes of several Heaven Dragon Palace disciples turned moist. The earlier feeling was simply too unbearable.
"Don't cry. Don't let others see you as a joke," Bai Yunfeng said softly.
However, at some point in time, his eyes had already become moist.
Although Xiao Chen obtained only the first rank of the first stage, it marked an epoch-making moment in the history of the Heaven Dragon Palace.
It had been many years. Even the many Elders of the Heaven Dragon Palace did not know how long the Heaven Dragon Palace had been at the bottom for.
How much mockery and disdain had the Heaven Dragon Palace endured?
Today, Xiao Chen obtained the first rank. How could these people not feel excited and excited?
The Silver Dragon Palace heaven-class core disciples at the side were all stupefied. Their expressions turned sluggish, completely in disbelief.
Even though Ancestor Dragon City's Lord had already announced this result, they still found it hard to accept.
Yuan Tai, who had mocked the Heaven Dragon Palace disciples earlier, showed an unsightly expression as he stole a glance at Bai Yunfeng and the others.
Yuan Tai discovered that the other party could not be bothered with them at all, focusing all their attention on Xiao Chen.
Yuan Tai heaved a sigh of relief. If Bai Yunfeng and the others came over to trample on him now, it would be a slap in the face.
With Xiao Chen's first rank, even if Yuan Tai suffered a slap in the face, he could only endure it and not lose his temper.
Yuan Tai consoled himself, "It's fine, it's fine. This is just the first stage. The second stage is the most important. As long as Senior Brother can enter the top three, it will be fine."
The Silver Dragon Palace heaven-class core disciples all set their gazes on the final ancient bronze door.
They anticipated that Yuan Xi could push open this ancient bronze door.
First place: Xiao Chen. Second place: Qin Mu. If not for Yuan Xi, the Silver Dragon Palace would have ranked last in the first stage.
However, even after a long time, this ancient bronze door did not open.
The faces of Yuan Tai and the others darkened.
"Senior Brother Yuantai, the door is open!"
Someone exclaimed as he pointed at the giant array disc in front of him.
Yuan Tai was overjoyed. He immediately glanced at the door and saw it being pushed open.
Then, the White Dragon Palace's Ling Xiao walked out with a victorious smile on his fatigued face.
The many Silver Dragon Palace disciples felt like they had fallen into an ice cave, stunned.
When Bai Yunfeng saw this scene, he felt slightly stunned. Then, he smiled softly and said, "This is surprising. The Silver Dragon Palace did not even make it into the top three. However, the people from the Silver Dragon Palace probably don't mind. They were quite supportive of the rules of the first stage. "
His voice was not loud, but it was extremely ear-piercing in the ears of Yuan Tai and the others.
This was especially so when they mocked Bai Yunfeng and the others earlier, expressing their support for Ancestor Dragon City's rules.
This time, he had been given a solid slap in the face. He had trapped himself in a trap, and he had no way to refute.
His expression was extremely ugly. The other Outer Palaces were also discussing this matter. Yuan Xi was someone who was thought to be second only to Qin Mu. Yet, he was actually at the bottom of the first stage.
Boom!
With Ling Xiao's appearance, the first stage came to an end.
The outer palace disciples responsible for sniping were sent out. The white-bearded man said, "That's enough. Go and rest first. I will announce the rules of the second stage in two hours."
"Even the Snake-Tailed Tiger could not stop you, and you actually managed to obtain the first rank. You should be glad that you did not run into me!"
Qin Mu said coldly as he walked past Xiao Chen with a sullen expression. Then, he left without looking back.
Qin Mu felt extremely depressed, extremely sullen.
Anyone would feel upset. The first to push open the ancient bronze door had already enjoyed the cheers of the crowd, the glory of the victor.
Then, he instantly turned the tables, becoming the second rank in the blink of an eye. If not for his good mental state, he would have gone berserk on the spot.
"Brother Xiao, congratulations on obtaining the first rank."
The Blue Dragon Palace's Feng Wuheng walked over and performed a cupped-fist salute with a smile.
The two of them exchanged blows in the palace, and the victor was decided.
After the victor was decided, Feng Wuheng stopped decisively, not continuing to tremble. However, Xiao Chen retained most of his Veritable Essence Energy and Great Dao Energy.
Hence, Xiao Chen could shatter the ancient bronze door with one strike.
Unlike Qin Mu, who was drained by Ding Jun and could only push open the ancient bronze door bit by bit.
"You are too polite."
The two had gotten to know each other after fighting. Xiao Chen obtaining the first rank was the other party's help, a close victory.
"Haha! Goodbye. I'll see you in the second stage."
Feng Wuheng smiled freely and turned to leave.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you obtained the first rank?"
Lu Feng and Xiao Jinyu exclaimed in shock as they walked over and looked at Xiao Chen.
They did not know the results when they were inside. They only found out after hearing Feng Wuheng's congratulations, feeling incredibly shocked.
"I was lucky."
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, his expression changed. He suddenly discovered that the two's injuries were extremely horrifying. They were all terrifying sword wounds. The sword intent spreading from them had yet to fade, still invading the two's physical bodies.
"Your injuries …"
When speaking of their injuries, the two revealed smiles. Lu Feng said excitedly, "We succeeded in sniping Yuan Xi. We estimate that he will not pass the final test."
"The First Palace Master told us to do our best to help you. Although Yuan Xi did not run into Junior Brother Xiao Chen, it was worth it! "
When the two learned that Xiao Chen obtained the first rank, they were overjoyed, completely forgetting about their injuries.
However, Xiao Chen felt some heartache. These injuries were somewhat severe. Yuan Xi was really ruthless in his attacks.
"Two mixed-blood dragons, don't let me run into you in the second stage. I, Yuan Xi, swear that I will make the two of you pay the price!"
Yuan Xi, who could not control his killing Qi, walked past the two. When he looked at Xiao Jinyu and Lu Feng, he looked like he wanted to attack on the spot.
If not for these two, how could he not be a match for Ling Xiao?
However, just at this moment, Yuan Xi's expression turned grave. He suddenly discovered an even more terrifying killing Qi surging towards him.
Then, Xiao Chen said coldly, "I, Xiao Chen, swear that if you dare to take revenge on the two of them, I will return it tenfold. Let me warn you, don't let me run into you in the second stage, either! "
Even when facing Qin Mu's mockery, Xiao Chen did not get angry or take the initiative to say anything.
However, this Yuan Xi truly angered Xiao Chen somewhat.
The sword wounds on Lu Feng and Xiao Jinyu had already angered Xiao Chen somewhat. Xiao Chen had been too ruthless in his attacks.
Some of the wounds would have resulted in unimaginable consequences if they had not been slightly off target.
To think that this Yuan Xi did not intend to let them off, wanting to take revenge in the second stage. This touched on Xiao Chen's reverse scale.
Yuan Xi felt startled for some reason. Xiao Chen's killing Qi had already affected his mental state.
Yuan Xi forced a cold smile and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
After saying that, Yuan Xi immediately left, not daring to compete in killing Qi with Xiao Chen.
"Junior Brother, there is no need to be so serious. Perhaps he is just joking. After all, we are all from the Dragon Race." Lu Feng felt somewhat surprised when he saw Xiao Chen's grave expression.
Xiao Chen said softly, "That better be the case. Let's go. The First Palace Master is still waiting for us. Let the First Palace Master treat your injuries."
"Right."
Ling Xiao, who remained in the formation plate, watched as the three left. He muttered, "It turns out that I relied on these two to get third place. This is really shocking. To think that Yuan Xi suffered at the hands of these two in terms of the Sword Dao. It looks like the Heaven Dragon Palace cannot be underestimated. "
When Xiao Chen returned to the Heaven Dragon Palace's group, the First Palace Master had already been waiting for him for a long time.
"Fortunately, I did not fail!"
Xiao Chen said seriously as he performed a cupped-fist salute and bowed.
"You can't! You can't!"
Elder Tian Yun quickly stepped forward and stopped Xiao Chen from continuing to bow. He said, "Since you can stand at the top of the Heaven Dragon Palace, there is no need for you to bow to anyone. The rules of our Heaven Dragon Palace are not that strict. Furthermore, you are our hero. The First Palace Master and I, as well as all the disciples, have to thank you. "
The First Palace Master smiled warmly and said, "Tian Yun is right. I have not been this happy in many years already. It has really been many, many years …"
The nearby heaven-class core disciples were still young.
However, the First Palace Master had experienced a lot. His calm words contained a sense of vicissitudes that others would find hard to sense.
The First Palace Master looked around and fixed his gaze on Lu Feng and Xiao Jinyu. A gratified expression flashed in his eyes as he said, "Very good. This time, the Heaven Dragon Palace has not only Xiao Chen but also the two of you. Come with me. I will personally treat your injuries."
The First Palace Master should have a lot more to say.
However, when the First Palace Master saw Xiao Jinyu's and Lu Feng's injuries, he spoke briefly before personally removing the sword intent from their bodies.
On the other side, the Silver Dragon Palace's Second Palace Master reprimanded Yuan Xi with a cold expression, appearing extremely angry.
Being at the bottom meant obtaining only fifteen spots. This was completely unacceptable to the Silver Dragon Palace.
The Silver Dragon Palace had deep accumulations. Its heaven-class core disciples were second only to the Golden Dragon Palace. Fifteen spots meant that most of the people would not qualify to enter the second stage.
Yuan Xi knew that he could not refute, so he lowered his head in silence.
