Time slowly passed. After Wang Zhifan had driven off the leaders of the major sects with the battle he had staged, the platform area carrying countless opportunities was completely occupied by him, and he gradually fulfilled the one-hour occupation requirement.
To seize all the treasures, Wang Zhifan played a trick the moment the time was up. He had the White-Haired Mad Demon avatar that had been battling him fiercely erupt with terrifying demonic might once more, forcing his true body out of the area. Then he controlled the avatar to raise its hand and sweep away every treasure placed on the platforms. Finally, he had the avatar let out an incomparably arrogant laugh before vanishing into the air and departing.
Thus, in everyone else's eyes, Wang Zhifan had fallen short at the last step after a grueling battle. He had ultimately failed to defeat the White-Haired Mad Demon, allowing it to snatch away all the opportunities at the final moment and escape successfully.
At this moment, at the entrance to the now-empty area where all the platforms had been cleared, the people from the Great Dream Divine Sect and the others who hurried over were all comforting Wang Zhifan, whose face looked exhausted and frustrated.
Cui Ruyan seemed utterly unconcerned that Wang Zhifan had failed to break through during the battle. Instead, she looked relieved and thankful as she said to him with concern:
"Senior Brother, don't lose heart! This failure is nothing! That White-Haired Mad Demon's demonic arts are too powerful. Even the leaders of the major sects were no match for him. The fact that you could battle him for an hour without losing already makes you one of the greatest experts in the world! Given time, with your peerless talent, you will surely take revenge on him!"
