At the same time.
The pressure also fell on the students of Primordial Holy Heaven.
The heavy pressure, like a shadow following the clouds, weighed on everyone's heart.
The atmosphere became oppressive and awkward; no one spoke, simply because they had no idea what to say.
The leader of the Ten Saints is the strongest among all the Holy Heaven.
This is a generally accepted fact.
Currently, among the Ten Saints, only Shentu Feng has broken through to the Thearch Realm Second Layer. Wan Renshan hasn't even broken through yet. The strongest among them has been defeated...
"No."
Suddenly, Shentu Feng gritted his teeth and spoke in a harsh voice.
We haven't lost yet!
He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, emphasizing each syllable with an indescribable determination.
It was as if they had burned their bridges.
It was as if a traveler desperately seeking survival had grasped at the last straw.
As if speaking to the other trainees, or perhaps to himself, Shentu Feng's voice grew louder and more resolute from its initial murmur.
"While we cannot compare to the prodigies of the top Holy Heaven, we are not necessarily incapable of defeating the Holy Heaven."
I will win!
"I will definitely win! The Primordial Holy Heaven will never remain at the bottom!"
Shentu Feng gritted his teeth and swallowed the bloody taste in his throat.
He didn't believe it.
I can't believe I'm really that weak.
yes.
That's right.
He is very Zhou Quan.
However, he couldn't match the geniuses of the three great Holy Heaven of Immortal-Burying, Grand Void, and Desolate Ancient. Surely he couldn't be unable to defeat the cultivators of the other Holy Heaven either!
Shentu Feng's eyes hardened with obsession, becoming increasingly persistent.
As long as he demonstrates sufficient strength in the competition, he is confident that he will remain a core member of the many students of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
It is still the Primordial Holy Heaven, the leader of the Ten Saints!
He can win!
he...
We must win!
Shentu Feng has never realized more clearly than he does now that Wan Renshan once bore such a heavy burden.
It's too heavy.
It was so heavy it made it hard for him to breathe.
But he cannot remove it.
They also refused to remove it.
This is what he earned through hard work, by giving his all, and by sacrificing everything.
He enjoyed it immensely.
He is the first in the Primordial, and he will be the first next year, and the year after that; he is absolutely unwilling to relinquish it.
Therefore, even if it costs him his life, he must win!
Never admit defeat.
After hearing Shentu Feng's words, many students of the Primordial Holy Heaven had their dim eyes gradually brighten.
good.
That's true.
The sadness and resentment they felt were instantly soothed.
It's because we people are too ambitious. The headmaster once said that as long as we change the situation of being at the bottom, that will be enough!
Even if they can't defeat the geniuses of the top Holy Heaven, it's not a big deal.
This time, the only thing they need to pay attention to is getting a good ranking.
This so-called "good" could be in the top three, but it could also be eighth, or even ninth!
As long as they're not in the bottom tenth place, there's no problem. Even if the dean himself came, he would absolutely not blame them.
Many people held their breath in relief, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that they were overly ambitious and wanted to get a top ranking right away; it was just that they had seen too many strong people today, which made them yearn for them and secretly compare themselves to them.
But they forgot that among the Ten Great Saint Heavens, each one is a natural difference in the Cultivation Method, Spiritual Qi, and foundation within the Holy Heaven!
Simply securing ninth place significantly reduced the pressure on them.
If they can't defeat the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven, surely they can at least defeat their old acquaintance Golden Feather Holy Heaven...?
The group of people looked at each other, then slowly exhaled, their faces showing a complex mix of emotions.
Although I feel that ninth place is not a problem now, I still have mixed feelings...
The exchange meeting will never be delayed because of the wishes of one person or a group of people.
The exchange is still ongoing.
As time went on, the top three Saint Holy Heaven gradually began to participate, while the students with relatively mediocre talent slowly faded away, sitting panting or excitedly looking up at the stage, anticipating the next match.
In those gazes, the position of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven was finally shaken.
"I am Wang Dai, from the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven."
A man landed on the stage, looking conscious. He stood tall with a smile in his eyes. His features were unremarkable, but he was gentle and not arrogant.
He casually cupped his hands to the students around him, stood with his hands behind his back on the stage, and looked like he was waiting patiently.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started discussing it excitedly.
" Wang Dai, it's actually Wang Dai! One of the Ten Saints of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven! Although he's ranked last, he's still one of the Ten Saints!"
"He's practically one of the strongest few dozen geniuses in the entire Saint Heaven Realm!"
"I never expected him to come."
"I wonder who his opponent will be; it's really something to look forward to!"
In the crowd, Shangguan Jue and couldn't help but frown.
Wang Dai.
He knew this person.
The other party was one of the Ten Saints of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven, possessing considerable strength and realm, and yet this person appeared here...
Shangguan Jue frowned even more deeply.
He came to this exchange meeting on a whim. What is Wang Dai doing here?
Wang Dai on stage didn't care what others thought of him; he just smiled slightly.
Please offer your guidance!
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura was released with a bang, and his pressure surged like a tidal wave, causing several people to be shocked and look at the man with a high aura on the arena in amazement.
"So strong!"
"As expected of one of the Ten Saints!"
"This is terrifying. If I were to face such an aura directly, I'm afraid I wouldn't even last one round."
"Is this the true strength of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven? We are so lucky to witness such a battle today!"
"..."
Everyone started talking at once, offering all sorts of opinions.
But the only thing they had in common was their reverence for Wang Dai!
As a prodigy of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven, Wang Dai's cultivation level had long since broken through to the Thearch Realm.
However, the aura he exuded was incomparable to that of an ordinary Thearch Realm.
It even gives one the vague feeling that even Half-Step Great Emperor is nothing more than this.
That's incredible!
Even Qu Youmeng and Wang Yan had a strange look in their eyes.
This Wang Dai... is indeed quite good.
Throughout this entire exchange, up until now, there has finally come someone who deserves their attention.
The name "Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven" is well-deserved.
Qu Youmeng withdrew her gaze and spoke softly.
"It will take me nearly twenty moves to defeat this man. What do you think, senior brother?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan smiled and gently shook his head.
"Normally, within five moves, if one is serious..."
He paused briefly.
The coldness and seriousness etched on his handsome face by the frost of time almost completely disappeared after returning to the Sword Pavilion, leaving only a trace of his former gentleness.
But the words he uttered were so arrogant that anyone who heard them would only say that he was incredibly arrogant.
Simply because he spoke.
" One Sword strike will suffice!"
