Originally, everyone thought that Long Nannan stood no chance, as she was just an obscure cultivator without any renown, while Feng Ye had a certain fa on the Outer Battlefield and was also considered a heaven's proud son in the Yin-Yang Temple of the Fusang Kingdom.
Almost everyone felt that there was no suspense in this arena match; Feng Ye was bound to utterly crush Long Nannan. Although the beginning did see Long Nannan's strength shocking everyone, by the ti Feng Ye had completed the Holy Demon Fusion Technique Formation, they all believed that the situation wouldn't take an unexpected turn.
But in the end, with the force of a thunderclap, Long Nannan directly crushed Feng Ye's Sacred Warrior!
She even employed an outrageously heaven-defying movent technique to dodge the attacks of the Dark Demon God summoned by Feng Ye, causing those attacks to instead strike the Shikigami Feng Ye had summoned, leading to his complete defeat.
Everyone started discussing Long Nannan again.
"Who exactly is this woman, and why has no one seen her before? With such strength, she definitely shouldn't be unknown."
"And that movent technique just now, it definitely wasn't ordinary. Could it be the Teleportation used by a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm?"
"Nonsense about Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm. That looked completely like the Golden Core Realm. How could it possibly be the Teleportation of a Yin-Yang Realm master? You're overthinking it."
Teleportation, a skill that only a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm could perform using the Power of Yin and Yang for short-distance teleportation. In the Golden Core Realm, there was no such thing as teleportation, and thus it was outright denied.
"Even if it isn't Teleportation, it must still be a top-level movent technique. It seems this woman has quite the background in Xuanyuan Hall, and the power or ntorship behind her is probably one of the top in Xuanyuan Hall," soone conjectured.
"Right. With such strength, she could probably hold her own against those in the top ten of the previous generation's talent list."
"Stop guessing. I've just inquired about it, and it seems this woman is connected to the Northern Border King Ye Feng of Xuanyuan Hall!" soone from the Western Vampire Divine Court suddenly revealed. He had so dealings with cultivators from Xuanyuan Hall, and he had already gathered so information.
The others were startled upon hearing this. Northern Border King Ye Feng?
So wore a look of confusion, not knowing who this so-called Northern Border King Ye Feng was. They were individuals who had been in the Outer Battlefield for over a decade and had hardly any recent news of Earth. Even if they were inford, the most they knew was about their own power's recent situation. Information about other powers was usually obtained upon entering the Outer Battlefield.
So, at present, the crowd knew very little about Northern Border King Ye Feng, but so were aware of the Northern Border in Xuanyuan Nation.
"Could it be the new Northern Border King of Xuanyuan Nation?" soone asked directly.
The strong individual from the Western Vampire Divine Court nodded and shared the recent rumors about Ye Feng on Earth with the crowd, who then finally understood.
"To think that the Martial King Peak could contend with a Golden Core Realm powerhouse... This Northern Border King Ye Feng is truly defying the heavens!" soone exclaid, drawing a breath of cold air.
"It's not quite like that. I've heard that Ye Feng is practicing a special cultivation technique, which is why his realm remains at Martial King Peak, but his true strength seems to have already reached the ranks of the Golden Core Realm masters."
"The last ti he entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, so had seen him, but no one saw him go into the Spirit Essence Pool. Now, his exact power is probably only known to those in Xuanyuan Hall."
The strong individual from the Western Vampire Divine Court responded once more, glancing in the direction of Xuanyuan Hall. However, there weren't many among the other powers who recognized Ye Feng's appearance, mainly because Ye Feng hadn't made an appearance in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm before; he was only seen with the main group at the entrance by the strong individuals from the other powers. After entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, no one from the other three factions had seen him again.
He also hadn't ventured far from Xuanyuan Hall's domain lately, the furthest being to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was quite desolate, with fewer Alien Beasts, so there were very few people training nearby, except when the entrance to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was opened.
"If one of Northern Border King Ye Feng's subordinates is this strong, how powerful must he be? Will he make a move during this talent list martial contest?" soone couldn't help but ask.
"You idiot, his subordinate has already made a move. Do you think he himself won't show up? Just wait, I reckon as soon as the final challenge for the arena starts, we'll see this guy," the strong individual from the Western Vampire Divine Court scornfully looked at the questioning wizard from the Wizard Alliance. Offended by the insult, the wizard was angry, but he was only at Half-Step Golden Core and certainly couldn't provoke this Vampire Grand Duke from the Western Vampire Divine Court.
With no better option, the wizard from the Wizard Alliance had to shut his mouth.
By now, many from the Great Powers were looking towards Xuanyuan Hall, as if searching for Ye Feng's figure.
Ye Feng, on the high platform of Xuanyuan Hall, also heard these guys discussing. He didn't expect to catch their attention, but he didn't mind either—sooner or later, he was bound to be noticed.
The people of Xuanyuan Hall were themselves shocked, not expecting Long Nannan to win so decisively and were startled by her demonstrated strength.
"Even if ranked, this woman could likely place in the top ten among the Golden Core Realm powers within our Xuanyuan Hall, right?" soone couldn't resist saying. Long Nannan's displayed strength was clearly not sothing ordinary Golden Core Realm masters could match.
"Among the younger generation, she should still rank in the top ten, I'm afraid that even Hong Gaishi of the Hong Family wouldn't be a match for this woman."
"Hong Gaishi is only a newly advanced Golden Core Powerhouse, even if the Hong Family's cultivation technique is strong, I'm afraid that at most he can only manage to compete with Feng Ye, but he is definitely not capable of defeating Feng Ye."
So of the disciples from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were discussing softly among themselves.
Hong Gaishi's face in the crowd bore a look of frustration. He was considered the prodigy of the Hong Family, and on Earth, he was the star everyone held in high regard. At the previous selection for the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, he was the center of attention. To think that in less than a month's ti, he had beco less than a woman by Ye Feng's side!?
"Don't be hard of hearing, you are still too weak. You couldn't reach the Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm even after entering the Spirit Essence Pool, missing the chance to stabilize your realm."
"You fell behind one step before, and now you're already lagging a great distance behind."
Hong Tianyu's indifferent voice entered his ears.
He didn't mince words; in the Ancient Clan, things were cruel. Once you fell behind and were inferior to others, your prodigy status would beco aningless, the family's regard for you would lessen, and the resources allocated to you would reduce significantly.
Hong Tianyu was actually just reasoning with Hong Gaishi, feeling that he wasn't trying hard enough, which is why he was progressing too slowly.
Yet Hong Gaishi still felt utterly aggrieved. Was it truly because he didn't try hard enough that he fell behind?
No, that wasn't it at all. It was clearly because these people were too monstrous!
Hong Gaishi's heart was filled with resentnt. He felt defiant but also sowhat helpless.
Hong Gaishi's expression kept changing, and after a mont, he suddenly turned around and flew out of the city.
"I withdraw from this talent ranking competition. I will prove myself - I, Hong Gaishi, am the true genius!"
Hong Gaishi's voice echoed in the ears of Hong Tianyu and Hong Qing, a sound transmission he made just before leaving.
Hong Qing watched Hong Gaishi's departing figure and couldn't help but turn to Hong Tianyu to ask, "Tianyu, weren't your words a bit harsh?"
Hong Tianyu shook his head and also looked at the departing figure of Hong Gaishi, speaking indifferently, "Even if he had stayed, he wouldn't have a place in the top ten. It wouldn't be his turn; staying here wouldn't make much difference anyway."
Hong Qing was montarily taken aback but then nodded. Hong Tianyu wasn't wrong; with Hong Gaishi's current strength as a newly advanced Golden Core Powerhouse, supported by Hong Family's cultivation techniques, he could barely make a mid-to-lower ranking among the many Golden Core prodigies under thirty-five present.
Anyone who t the requirents to participate in the talent ranking competition was a prodigy from a great power, not many of whom were genuinely weak.
"Should I accompany him as he leaves?"
Hong Qing let out a sigh.
"No need. If he needs an escort at this point, then he truly is finished. Let him experience trials on his own. If he dies, then he dies. Hong Family's warriors have all blazed their own bloody trails."
Hong Tianyu was very cold and directly stopped Hong Qing.
Hong Qing understood Hong Tianyu's intention and said no more.
The people of Xuanyuan Hall didn't pay much notice to Hong Gaishi's departure, since people would leave from ti to ti, and since Hong Gaishi didn't cause any incidents or much disturbance when he left, naturally no one bothered.
Outside the city, Hong Gaishi had already flown out of the city gate. Looking back at the city behind him, his eyes were filled with resentnt and envy.
"Just you wait. I, Hong Gaishi, will show you that I am the true Heaven's Proud Son, and none of you are worthy!"
Hong Gaishi said through clenched teeth, and then he turned his body and shot directly toward a direction.
Apart from Hong Tianyu and Hong Qing, hardly anyone else noticed Hong Gaishi's departure.
Neither Hong Tianyu nor Hong Qing could imagine that the next ti they would see Hong Gaishi, he would truly shock everyone. But all that was to co later.
Inside the city, at the Ten Great Arenas, Nannan's recent performance on arena number three had already astonished everyone. At the mont, she held a Spirit Stone in her hand, recovering from the energy she had expended.
For a while, there was nobody daring enough to challenge Nannan on the third arena, while the other arenas were still witnessing many challengers.
"Sister Nannan really is strong, this strength of hers, I'm afraid it's not far from mine."
Chi Jark on the high platform couldn't help but comnt, impressed by Nannan's performance, which nearly matched his strength when he first ca out of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
"Ye Feng, could I ask who her master is?"
Xiao Rulong couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
