Several more figures charged out of the mist.
"As expected of the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei. I wonder how long they've passed before us!"
A yellow-skinned youth calmly said.
"Eh? Who's that kid? "
"I don't remember such a person!"
In the next moment, the focus of everyone's discussion shifted to Zhao Feng.
An initial Star Origin Realm cultivator at the age of fifteen truly seemed ordinary and unremarkable. They didn't have much of an impression of him.
But at this moment, they had no choice but to remember this person, because he might be the third person to pass after the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei.
Only the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei knew that Zhao Feng was the first to pass, but they wouldn't say it out loud.
At this moment, Hua Tianfeng suddenly charged out of the mist.
"So close!"
He breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of the mist.
But when he saw Zhao Feng, his eyes went wide, and waves of shock surged through his mind.
He had originally thought that the first trial would be so difficult that Zhao Feng definitely wouldn't be able to pass, and he had also inwardly regretted that he couldn't kill Zhao Feng.
He hadn't expected Zhao Feng to pass the first trial before him!
Gradually, Hua Tianfeng didn't even realize it, but he began to feel a sense of apprehension towards Zhao Feng.
Those who passed the first trial found a place to sit down cross-legged and recover in preparation for the next trial.
More and more people emerged from the mist. The later they came out, the worse their condition was, and they had less time, so they immediately sat down to recover.
Three days later, a voice rang out, "Now, those who have not passed the illusion realm are considered to have failed. The second trial begins!"
As soon as the voice finished —
Brrrooom!
Before all the geniuses, the heavens and the earth collapsed while a myriad of changes occurred, and it instantly formed into a grand and magnificent scene.
Countless precipitous mountain peaks towered in front of them. The sky was covered in dark clouds and crackling with lightning. Occasionally, a thick bolt of white lightning would descend.
Savage Yao beasts gradually appeared on the mountain peaks. They roamed the mountains, flew through the air, and lurked in the forests and waters.
"All of you, scram!"
The Tenth Prince was the first to charge out, his expression cold.
Waves of dragon roars rang out as the Tenth Prince stood on golden dragon images and bore the brunt of the charge. He gave off a terrifying might that intimidated the countless ferocious beasts.
In the first round, Zhao Feng had taken the lead. Perhaps Zhao Feng had some kind of treasure that was immune to illusions, but in the second round, he definitely wanted to be first.
However, after charging out, the Tenth Prince discovered that this trial was not as simple as he had thought.
Besides the countless dangers, the void was also filled with a dreadful pressure. Even someone below the Divine Transformation realm wouldn't be able to continue flying, much less avoid all these dangers.
The other geniuses were unwilling to fall behind.
Outside, Lu Fei 'er and Lu Qin' er were watching. If he performed well, even if he didn't get first place, if he could win the favor of the goddess, he might have a chance to propose marriage.
Many geniuses displayed their abilities and stepped onto this dangerous path.
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a bird-shaped silver mechanical puppet appeared.
Stepping on it, Zhao Feng instantly rushed out.
Although this mechanical puppet looked ordinary, it was still a middle Divine Transformation flying puppet. Its speed and sensitivity were both top class.
Whoosh!
A curved silver line cut through the air. Zhao Feng rode the flying mechanical puppet, dodging the vicious beasts and lightning attacks.
"What a fierce puppet!"
"Just who is this boy? I can't believe he has such an exquisite flying puppet! "
Seeing Zhao Feng surpass them, many geniuses were incomparably shocked.
Puppets weren't cheap. The better the puppet, the higher the price. Some were even priceless. Many of them had battle puppets, but none of them had flying puppets.
Under Zhao Feng's precise control, he dodged all the dangers on the flying automaton.
Up ahead was a haughty youth. It was Hua Tianfeng. He was standing atop a black lion vulture, rapidly flying through the air.
This lion vulture also had a Divine Transformation realm cultivation, but its size was too large and its sensitivity was low. It wasn't very useful here.
At this time, Hua Tianfeng sensed that someone was chasing after him. He swept out with his spiritual sense and his complexion changed.
"How is this possible, you …!"
Hua Tianfeng cried out in alarm.
Whoosh!
The silver bird puppet brushed past the left side of the black lion vulture. An invisible momentum swept towards it, causing it to tilt and lose its balance.
This Hua Tianfeng was arrogant and conceited, and he even had thoughts of killing Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng wasn't a saint, so he decided to take this chance to play around with Hua Tianfeng.
Hua Tianfeng's lion vulture lost its balance and its speed was affected. At the same time, an astonishing bolt of white lightning fell from the sky, bombarding the lion vulture's other wing.
Hua Tianfeng's heart burned with rage, but there was nothing he could do. He could only stabilize his own situation.
Zhao Feng didn't bother with this and quickly flew away.
He passed one genius after another until he saw the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei at the very front.
The Tenth Prince stood atop the phantom of a golden dragon, exuding a heaven-shaking aura as he advanced with indomitable will.
As for Young Master Wei, he rode a mechanical flying ship in pursuit.
The two of them simultaneously noticed Zhao Feng rapidly approaching, and their expressions changed once more.
"It's him again!"
The two of them said in unison.
Especially Young Master Wei, who stared at Zhao Feng's flying puppet with jealousy. Zhao Feng's flying puppet was even better than his mechanical flying ship.
"Don't even think about surpassing me this time!"
Young Master Wei circulated his True Yuan and focused on controlling the mechanical puppet.
This was the first time Zhao Feng had taken the lead. He didn't know what method Zhao Feng had used to break through the illusion so quickly.
But this time, both of them were using mechanical puppets. Although his puppet was of inferior quality, his cultivation far surpassed Zhao Feng's, so he couldn't lose to Zhao Feng. Otherwise, he would be defeated by Zhao Feng.
Whoosh …
Three beams of light flew forward, avoiding all the dangers in front of them.
The three of them didn't give way to each other!
Whoosh!
At some point, the Tenth Prince was the first to reach the finish line, followed by Zhao Feng and Young Master Wei.
After putting away the flying puppet, Zhao Feng sat to the side, ignoring the two of them.
Although Zhao Feng hadn't taken first place in the second round, Zhao Feng hadn't put in too much effort in the first two rounds, because those two rounds weren't important. The most important was the third round.
Time passed, and soon, two days had passed. Only ten people had reached the finish line.
The tenth was Hua Tianfeng. His face was a bit pale, and he had reached the finish line in a sorry state. Clearly, there had been a lot of unforeseen events along the way.
As soon as he arrived, Hua Tianfeng glared at Zhao Feng as if he wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.
"The last round has begun!"
An ethereal voice sounded.
In front of the ten geniuses, the earth shook as five huge arenas rose up.
"As I expected, the last round is a battle. The one who remains will be first!"
Young Master Wei revealed a confident smile, then looked at Zhao Feng with a disdainful smile.
"Everyone, please choose your arena and fight in pairs!"
The ethereal voice sounded again. This simple sentence directly stated the rules of the competition.
Everyone was free to choose their arena, and there were only five arenas. Thus, those who stepped onto the same arena had to fight.
"Okay!"
The Tenth Prince's eyes flashed, and he turned into a dragon shadow that flew toward the first arena.
At the same time, the other nine people flew toward the other four arenas.
Young Master Wei occupied the third arena, Hua Tianfeng occupied the fourth, and Zhao Feng entered the fifth!
The slowest person had no choice but to step onto the arena where the Tenth Prince was.
The moment he stepped onto the arena, he immediately admitted defeat.
As for the other arenas, the battles had already begun.
Zhao Feng's opponent was an early Divine Transformation realm sword cultivator. His eyes shone with a cold light.
"I didn't expect that someone with your strength could actually reach the third round. No matter how you did, your path ends here!"
The Sword Cultivator let out a low roar and turned into an icy sword shadow, attacking rapidly.
Zhao Feng stood where he was, took out four battle flags from his storage space, and inserted them into the ground.
Buzz!
The array flags activated and blue light surged. Blue crystalline rays of light extended out, instantly forming an array formation that enveloped Zhao Feng within.
The sword cultivator slashed down, but Zhao Feng's defensive barrier remained motionless.
"I will split it apart!"
The sword cultivator's face was cold as he slashed out with his sword.
Although the blue crystalline barrier constantly flickered, it showed no signs of shattering.
At this time, Zhao Feng waved his hand. Two middle Divine Transformation realm automatons rushed out of the array formation and attacked the sword cultivator.
"You, you … you coward! You hid yourself and didn't come out, so you released so many puppets!"
The sword cultivator immediately cursed.
He was a genius who could fight a middle Divine Transformation realm martial artist at the early Divine Transformation realm, but he definitely couldn't deal with two middle Divine Transformation automatons.
Finally, just as the sword cultivator was about to be defeated, he admitted defeat.
Meanwhile, on the fourth arena, Hua Tianfeng defeated his opponent and won.
Suddenly, Zhao Feng's arena moved to the fourth arena, once more forming a complete arena.
Like this, Zhao Feng and Hua Tianfeng had no choice but to fight.
Zhao Feng didn't care. He didn't even need to move. All he needed to do was sit in the array formation and defeat all his enemies.
On the other side, the first and second arenas also merged. Young Master Wei, who was in the third arena, didn't change after defeating his opponent.
"You brat, I will kill you today!"
The rage that Hua Tianfeng had been suppressing for a long time finally erupted.
Swish!
He waved his hand, and two early Divine Transformation realm black griffins flew out, their jaws wide open.
Hua Tianfeng clenched his fists, and a monstrous whirlwind appeared as he punched at Zhao Feng.
"I won't show you any mercy!"
Zhao Feng smiled. With a flip of his hand, three metal spheres appeared.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The three spheres flew out, hitting the two griffins and Hua Tianfeng.
There was an explosion, and the metal spheres turned into a firestorm that swept out.
The two griffins were instantly heavily injured, their bodies in tatters and bleeding profusely. Hua Tianfeng also suffered a significant blow, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"This is a self-detonation tool!"
Hua Tianfeng gnashed his teeth, his clenched fists trembling.
A self-detonation tool that could instantly wound early Divine Transformation realm cultivators was probably as valuable as a low-grade Heaven-grade divine weapon. Even Hua Tianfeng felt that Zhao Feng was being a bit extravagant.
The griffins had lost the ability to fight, and Hua Tianfeng was besieged by the two mid Divine Transformation realm puppets.
However, he was no ordinary prodigy. He could still fight against two mid Divine Transformation realm puppets.
Although Zhao Feng was only at the early Star Origin Realm, he had a defensive array, battle mechanical puppets, and a special self-detonation tool.
But Hua Tianfeng also had a trump card!
Hua Tianfeng's eyes blazed with anger, and he decided to use his trump card.
"Scram!"
Zhao Feng took control of Hua Tianfeng. Without a word, he took out three more metal spheres.
In an instant, all three spheres shot toward Hua Tianfeng.
Boom! Bang!
Hua Tianfeng still hadn't used his trump card, but he was sent flying off the arena, his chest scorched black.
"Damn it, I can't accept this …!"
Hua Tianfeng roared, unwilling.
He hadn't even used the trump card he had carefully prepared before being forced off the stage by Zhao Feng.
Moreover, he believed that Zhao Feng hadn't relied on his own strength, but on various tricks to win.
However, Zhao Feng's methods truly shocked him. Each of those self-detonation tools was equivalent to a low-grade Heaven-grade divine weapon, and then there were the defensive arrays and battle puppets. Earlier, Zhao Feng had also used mechanical puppets. Zhao Feng truly had too many tricks up his sleeve.
The value of all these things made Hua Tianfeng apprehensive. Could it be that Zhao Feng also had a powerful background?
