On the Fenghua Platform, fewer and fewer people entered the arena. It was rather quiet now.
Now, there were probably only the strongest few who hadn't won yet.
Young Lord Ye Wuchen, Zuo Qianfan of Cangye College, and Li Yi.
Li Yi was a dark horse other than Ye Futian's trio. No one knew him before and he wasn't from the imperial city. Among the geniuses who had come from outside of Cangye City to attend the banquet, if Ye Futian's trio wasn't counted, then Li Yi was the most eye-catching.
His life spirit was the three-legged Golden Raven. It had wind and fire attributes. He cultivated both martial arts and sorcery and his martial arts technique was special. When he attacked, the flames in his body didn't seem to be flames formed by Spiritual Qi. They were even more terrifying than Spiritual Qi flames.
At this time, Li Yi walked out and looked at Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen had been too dazzling on the Fenghua Platform but he had to try.
Ye Wuchen's figure flashed and landed on the Fenghua Platform. His expression was as calm as ever. He stood there like a sword, especially when he was about to fight. This temperament was especially obvious. It was as if sword intent surrounded his body.
Li Yi also used his life spirit to form a dharma. It turned into a huge Golden Raven. The flames burned everything. It was much stronger than Wang Yu's.
"Are you still not going to release your dharma?" Li Yi asked.
"No need." Ye Wuchen was still calm. His tone was full of confidence.
Shadows of the Golden Ravens shot out one after another. Raging flames filled the sky as they flew towards Ye Wuchen. In an instant, Ye Wuchen's body seemed like it was about to be buried in the flames, but he still stood there. A storm of Sword Qi whipped up around him, and with a sizzling sound, the shadows of the Golden Ravens were shattered by the Sword Will.
"What a strong sword intent." Everyone felt their hearts tremble. The sword intent around Ye Wuchen seemed to turn into a solid sword. It circled around him. The sword intent was shocking.
Before the Fenghua Banquet, Ye Wuchen was actually the most popular person at this year's Fenghua Banquet. Everyone thought that he was the strongest.
And Ye Wuchen didn't disappoint.
Li Yi flashed towards Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen took a step forward. With just one step, sword will filled the sky. The endless sword will around him seemed to condense and then turned into a sword. He himself was that sword.
Li Yi stopped and looked at Ye Wuchen. The person in front of him did not seem like a person, but a sword.
When the flames were extinguished, Li Yi's body flashed and he flew into the void.
"I lost." Li Yi's voice was heard. Everyone was confused. Since Li Yi knew how powerful Ye Wuchen was, he still challenged him. But why did he admit defeat before the battle even started?
They did not understand, but for Li Yi, when Ye Wuchen took that step, he knew that he had lost. He had not reached Ye Wuchen's level, not in terms of cultivation.
Ye Wuchen retracted his foot, and his body flashed, returning to the void sky.
Many people looked at Zuo Qianfan. Now, the only one who could threaten Ye Wuchen was probably Zuo Qianfan, but Zuo Qianfan did not intend to fight. Perhaps he was not so confident.
Of course, if he did not fight, then it was unknown who was stronger between the two.
Ye Wuchen also had no intention of challenging him. It was as if this was his personality. Or perhaps he was confident that there was no one he could not defeat at the Fenghua Banquet. He did not need to challenge.
The Fenghua Platform fell silent again. It seemed that no one else wanted to fight. An elder of the Cangye College walked onto the platform and said, "Is there anyone else? If not, then this is the end."
Seeing that no one was speaking, the elder looked at Emperor Ye.
Emperor Ye nodded slightly. The Cangye College disciples bowed and left.
Countless eyes looked at the young figures in the void. Among them, ten would be chosen by the emperor. They were dazzling.
Many people were guessing what the rankings would be.
"Let's go up," Emperor Ye said with a smile. Emperor Ye smiled. Immediately, everyone walked onto the Fenghua Platform. Ye Futian and the other two also landed on the Fenghua Platform. Only one person was more miserable. He had to be carried up — Wang Yu.
The miserable Wang Yu glanced at Ye Futian coldly. He did not want to come. The Fenghua Rank no longer had anything to do with him. But this was the rule of the Fenghua Banquet. His father had ordered people to carry him up.
Ye Futian did not look at Wang Yu. When he stood up for Lin Yueyao, he was so impressive. At that time, he probably did not think that this would happen.
All 15 of them appeared on the Fenghua Platform.
Ye Wuchen's expression was as calm as ever. It was as if he did not care about anything. Zuo Qianfan had a smile on his face. He was elegant.
Lin Yueyao's beautiful eyes wandered. Occasionally, they would land on Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. Her expression was complicated. She had never thought that her brilliance would be stolen by another woman.
Yu Jiang and Bai Qiu did not seem to have their usual arrogance. This was because there was another figure standing on the Fenghua Platform — Ye Futian.
Although they had performed well later on, everyone would probably only remember the battle with Ye Futian. Ye Futian was too dazzling. They had been reduced to mere foils.
Gradually, they looked up at the throne in the air. The emperor smiled at them and said, "Tenth on the Fenghua Rank, Lin Yueyao."
Just this voice was enough to make everyone's hearts tremble.
Lin Yueyao was the most beautiful woman in the Cangye Kingdom. She was extremely talented and was already famous before the Fenghua Banquet.
Now, she was indeed on the Fenghua Rank but she was ranked last.
The Fenghua Rank was something that many people could only dream of but not reach. However, this position was nothing to be proud of for Lin Yueyao.
But she had two battles. One was lost to Hua Jieyu and the other was slightly better than Hua Zhixin. No one could say anything about the emperor's ranking. It was reasonable.
"Ninth on the Fenghua Rank, Yu Jiang," the emperor continued. The proud son of the Cangye College was ranked ninth. Although he had lost to Ye Futian, he had performed well afterward. It was reasonable for him to be ranked ninth.
"Eighth on the Fenghua Rank, Bai Qiu," the emperor continued.
Many people had guessed it. Yu Jiang and Bai Qiu had also lost to Ye Futian. There was also Wang Yu. Three Dharma Plane geniuses had lost to one person. But later, it was proven that Yu Jiang and Bai Qiu were not weaker than other Dharma Plane geniuses. This could only mean that Ye Futian was too monstrous.
This way, Ye Futian would definitely enter the top three of the Fenghua Rank.
A Seven-starred Glory Plane cultivator entering the top three of the Fenghua Rank was definitely a miracle.
"Seventh on the Fenghua Rank, Hua Zhixin."
The other beauty, Hua Zhixin, was ranked seventh on the Fenghua Rank.
Hua Zhixin was a little surprised herself. She glanced at the emperor. She had only fought one battle on the Fenghua Platform. It was against Lin Yueyao and she had lost that battle. However, the emperor had placed her in seventh place.
Hua Zhixin wasn't the only one surprised. The surrounding people were also surprised. But in reality, they understood that Hua Zhixin could fight Lin Yueyao to such an extent as an Eight-starred Glory Plane cultivator. It couldn't be said that she had lost. If she had been on the same plane as Lin Yueyao, there was a high chance that she would have won.
Lin Yueyao was stunned as well. She had fought two battles. She had lost one to Hua Jieyu and the other to Hua Zhixin. But the emperor had placed her at the bottom of the Fenghua Rank and Hua Zhixin seventh. Naturally, she had her own thoughts.
"Sixth on the Fenghua Rank, Li Yi," the emperor continued. The powerful Dharma Plane cultivator Li Yi had entered sixth place.
Of the remaining five, Ye Futian and the other two had all entered the top five. Aside from them, there was also Ye Wuchen and Zuo Qianfan. Neither of them had lost a battle.
In reality, Yu Sheng was the same as Hua Zhixin. He had only fought one battle and lost.
But so what? Who had Yu Sheng fought? A genius of the Dharma Plane. Moreover, he hadn't lost. He had left because he couldn't defeat his opponent. As for Hua Zhixin and Lin Yueyao, he didn't seem to want to fight them. But to the crowd, this seemed to be natural and no one was surprised.
There was another person who had only fought one battle and lost. He was also very strong. It was Wang Yu. But Wang Yu was different from everyone else.
His only battle was against Ye Futian, a Seven-starred Glory Plane cultivator. It wasn't against someone on the same plane as him and it wasn't a battle between realms. Everyone had seen the result. He was crushed. After that, he didn't have a chance to prove himself like Bai Qiu and Yu Jiang. He could only blame it on his bad luck. His name was destined not to be on the Fenghua Rank.
Next, it was time for the top five of the Fenghua Rank. Everyone was looking forward to it.
Emperor Ye looked at the people on the Fenghua Platform. Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. It would be difficult to choose the next ranking.
Zuo Qianfan, Hua Jieyu, and Yu Sheng. Who was fifth?
Zuo Qianfan hadn't lost a single battle. The strength he had displayed was as invincible as Ye Wuchen's. He and Ye Wuchen were definitely the strongest. Some people thought that Zuo Qianfan didn't fight Ye Wuchen in the end. Was it because he wanted to avoid him?
He had only fought Hua Jieyu but defeated Lin Yueyao. She was two planes higher.
And Yu Sheng. No matter who was placed in fifth place, there would be controversy.
"Do you have anything to say?" Emperor Ye asked, smiling.
Everyone's expressions flickered. Then Zuo Qianfan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although I didn't fight Ye Wuchen, I think it's more likely that I lost. With Brother Ye's unparalleled talent, he should be first. As for me, Your Majesty, just treat it as if I lost once."
Many people looked at Zuo Qianfan in surprise. He didn't seem to care about the rankings at all. Many people admired his magnanimity. He admitted that he would lose and recommended Ye Wuchen first.
But Yu Sheng glanced at Zuo Qianfan coldly. In his opinion, Ye Futian should be first. What right did Zuo Qianfan have to judge? To influence the emperor's decision.
Yu Sheng also knew that Ye Futian probably didn't care. After defeating the three Dharma Plane cultivators, he didn't fight again. His goal was only to be in the top three.
His goal in participating in the Fenghua Rank was very clear. It was for his teacher's injury. First or third place wasn't that important to him.
