Capítulo 1357: Chapter 1356: Conspiracy?
As a loyal subordinate, being able to exert one’s final strength for the master is only right!
Ling Feng picked up the Abyssal Stone that had fallen from Situ’s Belt and counted. Now he already had over a thousand Abyssal Stones in his hand. About fifteen thousand people took part in the selection, and as long as nothing happened to Ling Feng, he was already firmly in the top ten.
Anyway, Ling Feng’s goal was only to enter the Heavenly Battlefield; he wasn’t too concerned about his rank. So, in the final fierce battles, only he seemed relaxed, even reminiscing about the times eating roasted meat in the Heavenly Punishment Forest.
“Once I get out, I’ll have a big feast!” Ling Feng licked his lips and said, “And check what breed Erha really is.”
Bang, bang, bang, as everyone was fighting fiercely, three loud bangs came from the sky. Then rays of light rose from everyone’s body; everyone knew that the final assessment time had passed.
Dozens of rays of light appeared under the Qiankun Furnace, and everyone around opened their eyes wide, wanting to see which ten would come out on top in the end.
General Divine Might looked at the thirty or so people left, a faint smile appearing on his face. Their performance in the Qiankun Furnace made him feel very gratified.
“Heavenly Battlefield, Divine Realm Group selection ends!” General Divine Might announced loudly, “Now we will count the Abyssal Stones you each hold, and the top ten with the most will be the participants in the Heavenly Battlefield!”
As he spoke, he nodded to the side, and next to each remaining participant appeared a master of the Divine Sea Realm. Under their supervision, the participants handed over all their Abyssal Stones.
“Shi Tian, Abyssal Stones, one hundred thirty-two!”
“Zhao Bufan, Abyssal Stones, three hundred forty-seven!”
“Xiao Huohuo, Abyssal Stones, five hundred seventy-eight!”
…
As one by one they reported the Abyssal Stones they held, those around also began discussing. One Abyssal Stone represented one eliminated participant, so the more Abyssal Stones one had, the more participants they had eliminated!
The eliminated Divine Realm masters each looked at the survivors with complex expressions. Survival of the fittest; the world is just so cruel. To gain better opportunities, one must climb on others’ shoulders and corpses to reach higher places.
“Ling Feng, Abyssal Stones, one thousand four hundred thirty-five!” When Ling Feng’s Abyssal Stones were reported, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. The highest before was only over seven hundred, but Ling Feng had doubled that!
But as everyone exclaimed, they were also puzzled. Who was this Ling Feng? How could they never have heard of him before?
When they saw Ling Feng, they wore constipated expressions. This was clearly a little rookie at the Early Divine Realm stage. How could he have lasted until the end and gotten so many Abyssal Stones?
“Could there be something fishy going on here?” Everyone couldn’t help but murmur to themselves. If Ling Feng was someone arranged by a big family, it was entirely possible that he had people protecting him, helping him collect Abyssal Stones.
Ling Feng was also helpless. When he heard the others had less than half of his Abyssal Stones, he thought about hiding some numbers, as it was too eye-catching. But under the watchful eyes of the Divine Sea Realm masters, Ling Feng didn’t make any unnecessary moves.
“Ling Feng? You’re called Ling Feng? Weren’t you called Situ?” Those who Ling Feng had robbed couldn’t help but exclaim when his name was read out loud, “You…you deceived us?”
Ling Feng shrugged and said, “You believe anything I say? You guys are too naive!”
“Damn it!” Those he had robbed were filled with anger, but in front of General Divine Might and His Majesty the Divine Emperor, they didn’t dare act rashly, only glaring at Ling Feng with angry eyes.
Ling Feng laughed slyly and then gave them the middle finger!
Though they didn’t know what it meant, with Ling Feng’s cheeky expression, they knew it was definitely not good intentions, surely a taunting gesture.
“This little guy called Ling Feng is strange!” At that moment, the voice of the Divine Emperor came over, “His body has more of the Abyssal Clan’s aura. How could he participate in our Divine Realm’s Heavenly Battlefield selection? What is going on here?”
General Divine Might glanced at the information and said, “Your Majesty the Divine Emperor, this Ling Feng comes from the Divine Cloud Continent! As you know, the Divine Cloud Continent is in a chaotic domain. Ling Feng is the City Lord of Blood Cry City there, and his identity has been recognized by the Military Residence!”
The Divine Emperor nodded slightly, “Able to last until the end with an Early Divine Realm cultivation and get so many Abyssal Stones, it seems he robbed quite a few people. This little guy is interesting; he’s definitely not as simple as he appears. Divine Might, focus on him, and if he’s worth cultivating, we should do so generously!”
“What about his identity…”
“Talent is the foundation of our Divine Realm’s continuous development. As long as Ling Feng is talented, even if he’s from the Angel World, I will cultivate him vigorously. But first, he must be loyal to our Divine Realm!” The Divine Emperor said, “I trust you know how to judge.”
General Divine Might nodded, “I understand, Your Majesty. After the Heavenly Battlefield, I will focus on him.”
The Divine Emperor nodded and said, “What about the rest?”
The count continued, and besides Ling Feng, soon a second person broke a thousand.
“Long Sheng, Abyssal Stones, one thousand three!”
Long Sheng’s face looked displeased. He glared at Ling Feng fiercely; this guy had stolen his Abyssal Stones and tricked him.
Thinking of himself like a fool looking for the real Situ and chasing him for half a day, he felt waves of humiliation!
“Long Sheng? Could it be Evil Young Master Long Sheng? His Abyssal Stones also broke a thousand; impressive, huh? He’s currently in second place, right?”
Second place! Hearing this, Long Sheng’s heart bled, but Ling Feng didn’t care about his fierce gaze, only chuckling.
“Chen Xun, Abyssal Stones, one thousand seven hundred sixty-three!”
With these words, the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone knew who Chen Xun was; he was the renowned second son of General Ling Wei, and it’s said he’s also Princess Mingyu’s imperial son-in-law.
“Isn’t Chen Xun supposed to be an idiot? Usually, he’s all dazed. How could he have so many Abyssal Stones?”
“Haha, did you forget who Chen Xun’s father is? Having a great father certainly allows you to do whatever you want!”
“You mean…he cheated?”
“I never said that, but well, who doesn’t know what kind of person Chen Xun is? Just saying he really went all out this time around.”
There was much talk among the crowd. Ling Feng looked at Chen Xun and found that Chen Xun still had that dull expression, seemingly unbothered by the surrounding discussions.
However, Ling Feng knew that behind Chen Xun’s dumbfounded look lay an astonishing combat talent.
