In the blink of an eye, the fifteen-day selection battle has finally come to an end.
The fighting on the last day was exceptionally fierce; it could be said that people were fighting every moment.
Of course, it can't compare to the epic battle between Han Xuanji and Ying Yuan, but it still has its own unique highlights.
The battle for fifth place, in particular, was a complete mess.
Han Xuanji reigns supreme at number one on the leaderboard, and no one dares to challenge her.
After Ying Yuan, Dongfang Ye, Jiang Jiuyan, and the others found their respective positions, the second, third, and fourth places remained unchallenged.
The top four positions are like towering mountains, which no one dares to challenge lightly. On the contrary, the fifth position has become a battleground for many contenders.
One after another, they took turns on stage. Xiao Jiuyuan sat on it, and so did the other top ten people. There were even a few dark horses who briefly reached fifth place, only to be dethroned in the end.
The fifth place was not decided until the very last moment.
Han Xuanji glanced at the light screen, his expression somewhat subtle.
[First Place: Han Xuanji ]
[Second Place, Ying Yuan ]
[Third Place, Dongfang Ye ]
[Fourth place, Jiang Jiuyan ]
[Fifth place, Chi Yuan ]
"Wow, he actually has some skill."
Han Xuanji raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Chi Yuan. Although the other man looked somewhat tired, his joy was evident. Han Xuanji was genuinely surprised.
After all, Chi Yuan, like him, hadn't actually been an Eternal True God for very long.
Although it was a realm that had been suppressed for a long time, its foundation was still far inferior to those at the top of the Heaven's Chosen Ranking.
One can only say that the disciple of the Saint Venerable is indeed quite something.
Han Xuanji had also witnessed Chi Yuan's battles.
The opponent possesses extremely strong physical body and Principle Divine Ability, and is remarkably calm during battle, always making the right choice at the most crucial moment.
Especially in the final battle, he fought to the point of exhaustion with his strong challenger, ultimately securing fifth place by a very narrow margin.
This tenacity and tenacity deserves that spot.
At this moment, Chi Yuan seemed to notice Han Xuanji's gaze. Looking at Han Xuanji, who was being fawned over, he straightened his posture and then smiled.
Han Xuanji has high comprehension and even greater talent than him... But to be fair, he is not bad either. As long as he cultivates diligently, one day he may be able to catch up with him and, together with Han Xuanji, enhance the prestige of the Sacred Court!
Whatever grudges may have existed before, they seemed unimportant at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Han Xuanji seemed to understand the meaning behind the smile.
Is this a plan to reconcile with him?
Han Xuanji sense that Chi Yuan harbored no ill will towards him; he must have recognized the difference in their abilities.
"Can a smile erase all grudges?"
Han Xuanji withdrew his gaze, his heart not feeling particularly strong.
What happened to Chi Yuan is no longer his concern.
There was no deep-seated hatred between the two; it was just that the other had happened to be in his way before, and from now on, the other should not be able to block his way anymore.
Then, Ying Jiutian went on stage to announce the final list, and the top ten people each received a reward.
As the first-place winner, Han Xuanji naturally received the most generous reward.
On the Ying Household ' stand, the faces of several clan elders were beyond ugly.
Someone muttered under their breath, their face grim:
"This prize, which should have belonged to Yuan'er, has been given to an outsider. Are you all willing to accept this?"
An old man nearby sighed:
"What else? Are we supposed to go and demand it back? Don't we, the Ying Household, have any shame?"
Actually, the reward for first place wasn't originally this extravagant. It was only because the Ying Household felt that Ying Yuan was a shoo-in for the championship that they specifically pulled strings.
But no one expected that in the end, it all benefited Han Xuanji.
Ying Yuan sat to the side, remaining silent from beginning to end; no one knew what he was thinking.
Looking at the scene before him, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction, for some reason.
Soon, Han Xuanji stepped down from the Galaxy Platform.
Before they had gone far, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Most of those who surrounded him were cultivators from the Sacred Court with considerable cultivation levels, some even a whole realm higher than Han Xuanji. Yet, they all wore smiles and addressed him as " Young Venerable Han " repeatedly, using phrases like "a genius of unparalleled talent" and "well-deserved," using whatever flattering words they could think of.
Han Xuanji appeared polite on the surface, but he knew perfectly well that some of these people were the ones who had mocked him from the audience earlier.
Now I can't remember anything I said.
He didn't point it out, just smiled and brushed it off.
After all, those who dared to come and speak to him were all of high status and position; they were either elders of various Sacred Hall or geniuses with extraordinary backgrounds.
Some powerful figures from other supreme forces even wanted his contact information, and it's unclear what their intentions were.
Han Xuanji was still worried about how to deal with these people.
"Junior brother, come with me."
Fortunately, Leng Qianshuang quickly came over and coldly separated those people.
My junior apprentice needs to rest.
She made up an excuse and brought Han Xuanji directly to Mo Chenxiao.
Mo Chenxiao was already grinning from ear to ear. Seeing Han Xuanji approach, he patted him on the shoulder several times and said repeatedly:
"Good, good, good! You haven't disgraced your master! Now let's see who dares to say that I, Mo Chenxiao, am incapable of teaching disciples!"
Little White was jumping and skipping around, shouting, "Master is the best in the world!"
The more powerful Han Xuanji is, the more powerful it is.
Previously, it was not well-known, but now that Han Xuanji has reached the top, it has become the pet of the number one genius of the Sacred Court, the supreme power of the Eternal Continent. Its value has increased a hundredfold, do you understand?
It can be said that Han Xuanji's ascension to the top is equivalent to Little White's ascension to the top!
Zixiao also came over, equally excited:
"You're really something, kid..."
Even though it didn't originally care about this selection battle, after all, it thought from the beginning that Han Xuanji could get a spot.
However, it was unexpected that Han Xuanji would directly become number one.
"Brother Lan, Brother Li..."
Han Xuanji also noticed that Lan Miao and Li Fu had arrived.
The way these two look at Han Xuanji now is very different from before. Besides joy, there is more of an unspeakable distance between them.
Especially Li Fu, this once-unsung and easygoing man who had fought alongside Han Xuanji, was now at a loss for words.
Lan Miao smiled wryly, "Junior Brother Han, you really... kept it all hidden for too long."
Han Xuanji smiled upon hearing this, patted Lan Miao on the shoulder, and nodded to Li Fu:
"We're all on the same side, stop with the formalities."
His words finally made the two of them relax a little.
However, they still felt it was somewhat unreal.
They were fighting side by side in the Ten Directions Sacred Domain just a moment ago, how did he suddenly become the number one person of the Sacred Court in this generation?
This feeling is like a friend you chat with and play games with in a group chat every day suddenly telling you that they won the Nobel Prize, and it's true.
It's so outrageous that it leaves you speechless for a moment.
Although Lan Miao and Li Fu were both arrogant and self-assured, they were still aware of the gap between them.
They were well aware that an invisible chasm still separated them from those truly unparalleled geniuses.
Han Xuanji was undoubtedly a prodigy among prodigies.
A person who can suppress the Ten Thousand Immortals Association single-handedly and defeat Xiao Jiuyuan and Ying Yuan to become number one is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
At this moment, they were only grateful that they had always been Han Xuanji's friend, not his enemy.
Li Fu patted Han Xuanji on the shoulder and grinned:
"Brother Han, I'm watching your performance at the Dragon Platform Feast; you absolutely must win!"
Han Xuanji smiled and agreed.
The group chatted for a while longer before parting ways.
Before long, Ying Jiutian also came over.
This top-tier Holy Lord first clasped his hands in a fist salute to Han Xuanji:
"Nephew Han, my disciple's loss was not unjust. I truly thank you for showing mercy by stopping at the last moment."
