“Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er.”
“Who on earth is this?”
After some confirmation, everyone reached a conclusion. Almost no one knew who this person was.
Yet people also realised that this individual must be extraordinary.
At present, only he and Chu Feng had entered that world.
If one set aside the element of luck, this alone proved how formidable he was.
“No, look carefully. That fellow with the strange name has a different glow from Chu Feng.”
Soon, someone pointed at the light point of Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, people noticed that the light point of Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er was indeed different from Chu Feng’s.
Chu Feng’s light point shimmered with seven colours.
Whereas the light point of Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er shimmered with six colours.
“Does this indicate something?”
People had a guess, but they could not confirm it.
Before long, two more light points appeared simultaneously.
They belonged respectively to Princess Long Xiaoxiao of the Dragon Clan and Yu Lie, the junior genius who had once shaken the Holy Light Galaxy.
The light points emitted by Long Xiaoxiao and Yu Lie were the same as that of Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er, shimmering with six colours.
Not long after, the light points of various junior geniuses such as Yin Daifen, Fu Feiyue, Yu Hong, and Yu Yin appeared one after another.
Apart from Long Xiaoxiao and Yu Lie, the light points of Yin Daifen, Fu Feiyue, Yu Hong, and Yu Yin shimmered with five colours.
As for the others, they were even weaker. Four colours were rare, most had three colours, and there were even some with two colours or just one colour.
People understood that some of the juniors who had entered were simply not geniuses. They were likely sent in by various forces to fish in muddy waters.
Their goal was not to achieve a ranking at all, but to see if they could get lucky and find martial techniques left behind by the Storm Frenzy Clan.
As time passed, the number of people entering that world had almost stabilised.
The final number settled at ninety thousand.
However, the number of people who had initially stepped through the stone gate had reached tens of millions.
From this, it could be judged that at least tens of millions had already been eliminated. What made people somewhat anxious was that those eliminated had not emerged again from the stone gate.
After stepping through the stone gate, they had neither entered the world nor come out. At this point, their life or death was uncertain.
Although some worried about the safety of those juniors, people’s main focus was still on those who had successfully entered the world.
Yet even among those ninety thousand light points, only Chu Feng’s shimmered with seven colours.
This further highlighted Chu Feng’s uniqueness.
“This must indicate some kind of difference.”
“Does it represent a gap in talent, or something else?”
“If it truly represents a talent gap, then the princess of the Dragon Clan is indeed extraordinary. It seems Master Niantian’s rankings are quite reliable.”
“But if it really foreshadows talent, then that fellow with the strange name must have heaven-defying talent too. Yet we seem to know nothing about him.”
“Could it be a genius who wrote a random name?”
“But all the famous junior geniuses in the current Holy Light Galaxy have already appeared among them.”
“Who exactly is it?”
Amidst the vast sea of people, discussions abounded. While sighing in admiration, what people were most curious about was still the person named Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er.
“Everyone, look quickly. Something seems to be happening. Why have those geniuses all stopped moving?”
At that moment, someone noticed that the geniuses who had been moving quickly had all come to a halt. Including Chu Feng, all the geniuses stood motionless.
Rumble rumble rumble.
Just as people were puzzled, one of the gigantic dragons coiled around the heaven-piercing peak suddenly moved.
The dragon not only left the peak but, as its body swayed, large amounts of dust cascaded down. Although the dust dispersed, the body remained. However, at this point, it was no longer formed from dust but blazed with rushing flames.
It was a fire dragon, lifelike and vivid. After detaching from the peak, its body had grown several times larger.
It first circled the heaven-piercing peak once, then let out a roar of fury.
As it roared, ripples formed from flames also sprayed from its mouth.
The flame ripples spread in a circular pattern, soon covering the entire world.
“Look quickly, several light points have disappeared.”
“Has someone died? Or what happened?”
People were greatly alarmed. After the flame ripples covered the world, several light points indeed vanished. This made them realise that the ripples were likely a symbol of danger.
But people could not be certain.
They could only stare intently at that world, trying to discern some clues.
The fire dragon made no further movements. Although it hovered in the void, it did not roar again or release more flame ripples. It simply stood there in the void, as if observing something.
Chu Feng and the other geniuses likewise remained in place, showing no activity.
“Why are they still not moving? What exactly is going on?”
Many people grew tense, not excepting even the Dragon Clan Chief and the others.
After all, their descendants were now inside that world.
Awooo.
Suddenly, the fire dragon let out another furious roar.
Accompanying this roar, another wave of ripples sprayed from its mouth, soon covering the entire world once more.
With their naked eyes, people could also see that the power of this second wave was undoubtedly stronger.
As expected, after the second wave passed, dozens more lights disappeared.
“The time of one incense stick. It is the time of one incense stick.”
“If I am not mistaken, after another incense stick’s time, that fire dragon will release flame ripples again.”
“This is a trial for those juniors.”
“If they cannot withstand the flame ripples, they have likely already met with misfortune.”
Someone in the crowd offered this guess, and it gained recognition from many.
Soon, the time of one incense stick arrived.
The moment it did, the fire dragon released flame ripples once more.
This third wave was even more ferocious than the second.
After it passed, hundreds of light points vanished.
By this point, people were almost certain that the earlier guess was correct.
After one incense stick, the fire dragon would inevitably release flame ripples again, and those ripples would be stronger.
At that time, more juniors would surely disappear. Judging by the previous numbers, the next disappearance would not be just a few hundred but likely several thousand.
But if only the fourth was frightening, what about a fifth or sixth?
The total number of geniuses who had successfully entered the world was only tens of thousands.
At this rate, would those geniuses not soon all die?
“Lord Shengguang Xuanye, have those disappeared juniors truly died?”
“Or have they merely been eliminated and still have a chance of survival?”
At this moment, the Dragon Clan Chief could not help but ask Shengguang Xuanye.
“I have said that this Storm Dragon Battle Platform is extremely cruel.”
“It is a competition platform for the brave and the geniuses.”
“Those without self-awareness or who wish to fish in muddy waters and step into it are courting death.”
Shengguang Xuanye did not answer directly, but his words had already provided the answer.
The disappeared ones were already dead!!!
Although there had been guesses before, after receiving such a definitive response from Shengguang Xuanye, people still felt a tightness in their hearts.
“Too terrifying. What kind of place is this?”
“This is simply not a competition platform. It is clearly a purgatory.”
Many people regretted it, regretted allowing their juniors to enter.
Even the Dragon Clan Chief, the Lord of the Monstrous Demon Temple, and the others furrowed their brows deeply.
They too were panicked. They feared that Long Xiaoxiao and the others would be unable to withstand such a trial.
