Chapter 4042 - Second Stage of the Final Round


Chapter 4042: Second Stage of the Final Round to Determine the Ranking

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The people from the Pure Yang Sect were thelast to arrive at the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast today.

‘Hmm? We’re not late, are we? We usually arrive at this time…’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.

The others did not seem surprised or puzzled.

Zhen Ping Fan said to Ye Chen Feng, “Junior Uncle Ye, didn’t I say you should bring us here earlier? You didn’t believe me. I knew everyone was going to come early…”

“In any case, we’re not late,” Ye Chen Feng said with a slight smile.

Zhen Ping Fan said helplessly, “You’re right. However, if we arrive earlier, the fights will start sooner as well.”

Ye Chen Feng shook his head and said, “It doesn’t make that big of a difference. There’s no hurry. The fights will last the entire day whether we come early or not.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhen Ping Fan no longer had anything to say.

Not long after the Pure Yang Sect arrived, Lin Dong Lai appeared. He said directly, “Everyone, today will be the second stage of the final round to determine the ranking of the Seven Mansions Feast.” He did not waste time before he looked at a young man in the distance and said, “Participant number 30, please enter the battlefield.”

The 30th participant was the person previously defeated by Yuan Mo Yu from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect. This person was quite unlucky. He had obtained the 21st token but was kicked down to the 30th place. Nonetheless, he had no complaints since he was aware his strength was inferior. He even felt that if there were three or four of him fighting Yuan Mo Yu, he still would not be able to defeat Yuan Mo Yu. He thought to himself, ‘There’s no way I’m going to challenge the 21st and the 22nd participants. I can only challenge those behind them whom I’m confident about defeating…’

The 30th participant looked around before he finally challenged the 24th participant. Alas, he failed his challenge so he could only continue to stay in 30th place. He was in a very bad mood at this moment as he thought to himself, ‘Why is everyone so cunning? Participant number 24 clearly showed strength weaker than mine before this! He suddenly became stronger after I challenged him!’

Naturally, Lin Dong Lai did not pay attention to the mood of the 30th participant. As soon as the 30th participant left, he had already called for the 29th participant.

The fights continued. Some people succeeded in their challenges, and some were knocked down.

Time continued to pass, and it was finally the turn of the 22nd participant, Wanqi Hong.

Many people thought Wanqi Hong would forfeit his fight instead of challenging the 21st participant, Yuan Mo Yu. After all, he still had a chance to climb up the ranks later. If he challenged Yuan Mo Yu now, he risked being injured.

In fact, the 22nd place was not very favorable. The person occupying this place could only challenge the 21st participant; he could not challenge the 20th participant.

As expected…

“I forfeit my turn,” Wanqi Hong said. He knew that this was the best choice. Moreover, yesterday, Wanqi Yu Ning, the ancestor of the Wanqi clan, had also advised him to forfeit his turn.

Following that, it was Yuan Mo Yu’s turn. He naturally did not forfeit his turn since this was a good chance for him to enter the top 20. He said, “I’d like to challenge participant number twenty.”

Although the 20th participant’s strength was quite decent, it could not compare to that of Yuan Mo Yu. With just one strike, Yuan Mo Yu defeated him. With this, he would be able to challenge anyone from the 11th to the 19th place during his next turn, making his way into the top ten.

…

At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought of a question. He asked, “Elder Zhen, I found another loophole. If we have a few participants from our sect in the top ten, we can send the strongest disciple to ‘gate-keep’ at the 10th place to prevent others from advancing into the top ten, right? With this, the others in the top ten will stay in the top ten?”

Zhen Ping Fan nodded. “Indeed. However, if there’s someone stronger below the 10th participant, he or she can still advance into the top ten based on a rule of the Seven Mansions Feast.”

“Hm? A rule? I don’t think anything has been mentioned about this, right?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised. He did not know there was another way to enter the top ten.

“This rule has always existed, but it’s not often mentioned since there was no occasion to do so. If the occasion arises, then the rule will definitely be brought out,” Zhen Ping Fan said.

“What’s the rule?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

Zhen Ping Fan replied, “If the situation you described happens, those who are dissatisfied can request to challenge anyone from the 4th to the ninth place. However, they’ll need to pay a million divine crystals or treasures of equal value for a chance to do so.”

Zhen Ping Fan smiled and continued to say, “The payment will be added to the reward for the person who ranks first in the Seven Mansions Feast. Similarly, if the third participant ‘gate-keep’ as well, the others can challenge the first and second participants if they pay ten million divine crystals or treasures of equal value. The payment will also be added to the reward for the person who ranks first.” He paused for a beat before he continued to say, “Usually, those who are confident about ranking first will pay the fee since the payment would return to them when they rank first. However, those who can rank first naturally would not be hindered by a ‘gatekeeper’. In any case, this kind of situation rarely occurs. In the end, one’s strength is still the most important during the Seven Mansions Feast. If you’re weak, you won’t be able to climb up the ranks no matter what. This rule is only to prevent forces from cheating. It’s rather effective since no one bothered to cheat. As such, no one really mentions this rule unless it’s brought up…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He had learned a lot about the Seven Mansions Feast after listening to Zhen Ping Fan. This rule was indeed useful to deter others from colluding and gatekeeping.

…

During the time Duan Ling Tian and Zhen Ping Fan were talking, two fights had already concluded. One of them succeeded in his challenge, and the other one failed.

Finally, it was the turn of the 11th participant. He was He Yu Xi from the Consonance Mansion’s Frost Divine Sect. Before Han Di’s appearance in the Seven Mansions Feast, he was widely acknowledged as the strongest among the younger generation in the Consonance Mansion. In 11th place, he could only challenge the tenth participant. He was in a very difficult place at this time. After all, the tenth participant was Wang Xiong from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor who had just defeated him and knocked him off the tenth place.

For this reason, Lin Dong Lai skipped He Yu Xi’s turn. He said to Wang Xiong, “Participant number ten, please enter the battlefield.”

The crowd that was getting bored grew excited again when Wang Xiong entered the battlefield.

“Who do you think Wang Xiong is going to challenge?”

“Yang Qian Ye, who’s in ninth place, is quite strong. He’s clearly stronger than the eighth participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion. The other participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion, who’s in fourth place, is the weakest among those in the top ten now. Considering everything, I think Wang Xiong’s going to challenge one of the participants from the Feudal Lord Mansion. It makes more sense for him to challenge the fourth participant.”

“Number four and number eight are very famous in the Feudal Lord Mansions. They were acknowledged to be the strongest among the young generation there before Wang Xiong appeared. After defeating either one of them, Wang Xiong will officially become the strongest among the younger generation in the Feudal Lord Mansion.”

“He’s sure to challenge number four or eight. I wonder which one it will be…”

“If he challenges number four, there’ll be more people challenging him after this after he takes the fourth place. It’s wiser to challenge number eight even if he can defeat number four. After that, Yang Qian Ye will definitely challenge number four after that or forfeit his turn.”

Wang Xiong felt rather speechless when he heard the people who were fervently discussing him. He wondered, ‘Is my mind so easy to read?’

As expected, Wang Xiong challenged the eighth participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion.

The eyes of many young disciples from the Frozen Mountain Manor lit up, and they looked at Wang Xiong expectantly.

“Senior Brother Wang Xiong!”

“Once Senior Brother Wang Xiong wins, he’ll be acknowledged as the strongest person among the younger generation in the Feudal Lord Mansion!”
