On the wilderness, Ye Guan stood with his eyes slightly closed.
Today, he, Ye Guan, was determined to compete!
He was competing precisely for first place!
At this moment, he did not know that the entire Nan Prefecture was cheering for him!
It had been a very, very long time since anyone from Nan Prefecture had reached the third trial!
Regardless of whether he secured a ranking today, in Nan Prefecture, Ye Guan was already a hero!
On the other side, Zuo Fu’s gaze had also been fixed on the flag of first place.
This time, his goal was also first!
Yun Prefecture had been second for countless years!
For Yun Prefecture, this was no longer an honour, but a humiliation!
Second place for ten thousand years!
That truly did not sound good!
Over countless years, all the geniuses of Yun Prefecture had cultivated bitterly with only one goal: to compete for first!
Yet all had failed!
Zuo Fu slowly closed his eyes, his right hand gradually clenching.
In the field, after glancing at the flag of first place, the others shifted their gazes away!
Not everyone could compete for first!
Yun Prefecture and Qing Prefecture were truly enough to drive one to despair!
Upper City.
At this moment, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was running a gambling den.
Naturally, it was betting on which prefecture would take first!
The odds for Qing Prefecture were one to zero point zero one.
That meant if you bet one hundred gold crystals, you would only win one!
Outrageous!
Moreover, each person betting on Qing Prefecture for first could wager no more than one thousand gold crystals.
The odds for Yun Prefecture taking first were one to ten.
That meant if Yun Prefecture won first, one gold crystal would yield ten!
Though these odds seemed high, the ones after were even higher!
For all other prefectures, the odds were one to one thousand!
One thousand!
Betting on any other prefecture for first would yield one thousand gold crystals per one wagered.
Most importantly, there was no upper limit. You could bet as much as you wished!
A thousand times payout!
At first glance, it seemed to look down on the other prefectures, but it was not. The main reason was that Qing Prefecture had dominated first place for nearly a thousand years!
At that moment, a woman arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
The newcomer was none other than Fei Banqing!
Fei Banqing walked into the crowd. Soon, a cry of astonishment rose from the throng. “Fifty thousand gold crystals on Nan Prefecture for first!”
At these words, an uproar swept through the field!
Everyone present turned to look at Fei Banqing!
Fei Banqing ignored them and turned to leave.
Fifty thousand gold crystals!
That was her entire fortune!
Moreover, she had borrowed a considerable amount from Song Ci.
Why do this?
Simply because that young man had once told her he would compete for first!
…
In the wilderness, Luo Zhaoqi appeared before the crowd.
She glanced at everyone, then smiled. “Begin!”
With that, she stepped aside.
The instant her voice fell, the three from Qing Prefecture moved!
They ignored everyone and walked straight towards the flag of first place!
Ignoring all others!
It had to be first!
Such confidence, such arrogance!
Just then, Zuo Fu also moved!
His target was likewise first!
No one was particularly surprised by this!
After all, the only one who could ever compete with Qing Prefecture was Yun Prefecture!
However, at that moment, everyone in the field froze!
Because the three from Nan Prefecture, Ye Guan included, were also walking towards the flag of first place!
Seeing this, everyone was filled with shock!
What was Nan Prefecture trying to do?
Compete for first!
It must be said that upon witnessing this scene, not only did everyone in the field freeze.
Even the people from all three hundred and sixty prefectures were stunned!
Nan Prefecture also wanted to compete for first?
For a time, countless people across the prefectures burst into laughter!
Some mocked!
Some were curious!
Some were puzzled!
At the Guanxuan Academy in Nan Prefecture, when they saw Ye Guan and the others walking towards the flag of first place, the entire academy fell silent!
Clearly, even the people there were dumbfounded!
In their view, securing tenth place would already be extraordinarily good!
Yet now, Ye Guan and the others were actually going for first?
Just then, someone in the field suddenly shouted, “Awesome!”
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Guanxuan Academy erupted!
True blood boiling with excitement!
Countless roars soared into the sky, shaking the clouds.
In the wilderness.
Seeing Ye Guan and the others also heading for first, the corners of Zhao Su’s mouth on the viewing platform lifted slightly.
She knew this fellow would definitely compete!
Yuan Gu glanced at Ye Guan and the other two but said nothing.
Nearby, Luo Zhaoqi looked at Ye Guan, somewhat surprised and curious.
Just then, the three from Qing Prefecture stopped.
Mu Yunhan suddenly turned to Nalan Jia. “I hear you possess a Sacred Spirit physique!”
Nalan Jia nodded. “Yes!”
Mu Yunhan stared at Nalan Jia. “Such a beautiful face. What a pity if it were to die like this!”
Nalan Jia smiled faintly. “Come kill me!”
Come kill me!
The moment her words fell, Mu Yunhan’s blade unsheathed!
A slash of extreme speed!
Everyone present saw only a flash of blade light. They could not even discern the blade itself!
Schick!
A sharp sound of air tearing suddenly rang out!
However, this lightning-fast slash struck nothing!
Nalan Jia had somehow appeared over a dozen zhang to the right!
Seeing this, Yuan Gu on the viewing platform was immediately surprised. “This little girl’s attainment in space-time is so profound!”
Zhao Su was also rather astonished!
A smile appeared on Li Wan’s face.
Mu Yunhan’s slash missed. She looked at Nalan Jia. “This is getting interesting!”
With that, she charged straight towards Nalan Jia!
In an instant, blade light filled the air!
Nalan Jia also vanished directly from her spot. The space-time in the field suddenly rippled like waves!
Soon, the two women were locked in fierce combat!
Ao Han glanced at Zuo Fu and Ye Guan. “Which of you two will fight me?”
Both shook their heads simultaneously, then pointed at An Mu together!
Seeing this, Ao Han’s expression immediately darkened. “You two are making me lose face!”
With that, he pointed directly at Zuo Fu. “I will fight you!”
Zuo Fu’s brows furrowed slightly. “Why?”
Ao Han glanced at Ye Guan. “He likes kicking balls!”
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened!
Zuo Fu was silent for a moment, then said, “You are bullying me for not being shameless, right?”
Ye Guan had black lines across his face, feeling offended!
Ao Han’s expression remained calm. “Zuo Fu, compared to this fellow from Nan Prefecture, I would rather fight you. Come, let me see if Yun Prefecture has improved this year!”
With that, he wasted no more words and charged forward, unleashing a punch towards Zuo Fu.
Boom!
As the punch flew, a blast of air exploded, extremely terrifying!
A physical cultivator!
Zuo Fu glanced at Ao Han. Suddenly, he pressed his palms together and silently chanted an incantation. In an instant, a beam of starlight descended from the sky.
Boom!
In a flash, Ao Han was sent flying over a dozen zhang away. The spot where he had stood now held a massive crater dozens of zhang in length and width.
Seeing this, everyone in the field froze!
Ao Han looked at his charred body, then at Zuo Fu, exclaiming in shock, “You are the legendary Spell Master!”
Spell Master!
An ancient and mysterious profession!
It was said that powerhouses of this level could easily harness the myriad laws and phenomena of heaven and earth. The more powerful ones could even summon the laws of an entire plane, extremely terrifying!
At this moment, Zhao Su and the others on the viewing platform could no longer remain calm!
A Spell Master!
None of them had expected Yun Prefecture to produce a Spell Master this time!
Ye Guan looked towards Zuo Fu, also somewhat surprised. As if thinking of something, he glanced at Zuo Fu’s crotch.
Seeing this, Zuo Fu hurriedly said, “I will not fight you!”
He paused, then added, “It is not that you are weak, but… anyway, I simply do not want to fight you!”
Ye Guan: “…”
…
