Chapter 4329 Linghu Lige’s Reward

"Wait a moment."

Unexpectedly, Linghu Li Ge, who had been silent all this time, called a halt to the drawing of lots, and then gave some instructions to Duanmu Feng.

"By order of the Palace Lord, the champion of this Saint Spirit Convention will be heavily rewarded with one Hu Ling Dao Fruit."

As soon as Duanmu Feng spoke, the scene instantly erupted.

For many powerful individuals, the Hu Ling Dao Fruit was a legendary existence. It was said that after consuming it, a Cultivator's cultivation would greatly improve, and most importantly, their Mental Energy would undergo a qualitative leap.

However, the Rank of this Dao Fruit was extremely high, surpassing even the Peak of the ninth Rank. Very few people had seen it before, and everyone thought it was just a legend. They never expected that today, the Myriad Manifestations Palace Lord would actually take it out as a reward for the competition.

"Oh my god, there really is a Hu Ling Dao Fruit!"

"What a pity, I don't have the ability to obtain such a good item…"

"The Palace Lord is too generous, actually using the Hu Ling Dao Fruit as a reward. What a grand gesture, absolutely grand…"

People were discussing animatedly. Ding Yuan, Luo Jisheng, and others all showed ecstatic expressions. In their eyes, this fruit was already in the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts's grasp.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. It was obvious that the other party had already guessed the Immortal Saint Ancestor's Reincarnation. Even if they didn't suspect him, they shouldn't give it to the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts.

The repeated actions before indicated that they wanted to kill Ye Junxie, but now they were offering such a generous reward. What were they trying to do?

A weasel paying respects to a chicken definitely had ill intentions; this much was certain.

His brain spun rapidly, putting himself in Linghu Li Ge's shoes and thinking from her perspective: why would she do this?

He quickly came up with two answers. The first was to motivate others by increasing the reward, hoping to knock Ye Junxie off his pedestal.

The second was that there was something fishy about this Spirit Fruit. No matter who obtained this high-Rank chaotic spiritual treasure, they would surely consume it immediately. But what the consequences would be after eating it was impossible to guess.

Regardless, he had to obtain the Hu Ling Dao Fruit. The rest could be dealt with later.

Originally, his plan was just to enter the top ten and not attract too much attention.

But now, with the sudden change in circumstances, he had to change his strategy and secure the position of champion.

"Silence, everyone!"

Duanmu Feng's cold shout, like an explosion, echoed in everyone's ears, and the scene instantly fell silent.

"The competition continues. The drawing of lots begins now!"

With a command, the drawing of lots continued.

Ye Bufan reached out and grabbed a small ball. The light faded, revealing a black number one on it.

On the other side, Baili Xuanyi also grabbed a number one ball, but his was white.

One white and one black, they became opponents, and they would compete in the first match.

Next, Xuan Yuan Linglong drew the number two ball. Her opponent was Shangguan Du, the seeded Prodigy of ring eight, a Yuandi Fifth Grade expert from the Profound Ice Sword Sect.

Yuhua Ling drew Fa Tian, the seeded Prodigy of ring six, a Yuandi Seventh Grade expert from the Heavenly Scars Sect.

The Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts's opponent was Zhong Fan, who was once the ring master of ring five, a Core Disciple from the Profound Ice Sword Sect, with a strength of Yuandi Eighth Grade.

It must be said that Fifth Little Demon's luck was still very good; she actually drew Xue Hang, the winner of ring nine, from the One Yuan Sect, whose strength was only Yuandi First Grade.

This guy's strength was originally not as good as the ring master of ring nine, but everyone ganged up, and he ultimately won, becoming the lucky one who had the last laugh.

Next, Duanmu Feng began to announce the competition rules: "The five ring battles will start simultaneously. The first one to be knocked off the ring will be tenth place, and the second will be ninth place.

And so on. The final five winners will proceed to the next round of competition…"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and four more rings landed on the open ground.

Overall, this rule still maintained a simple and brutal style, but not many people cared about who was tenth or ninth.

In fact, with the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts there, a Yuan Ancestor Third Grade, he had already secured the position of champion in the eyes of countless people. Everyone else was just going through the motions.

Precisely because of this, although some people questioned the fairness of such continuous competitions, no one spoke out.

"Alright, the competition begins now. All of you, ascend the rings together."

At Duanmu Feng's command, Ye Bufan leaped onto ring one, and everyone else also took their assigned places.

"Kid, heaven has eyes! It actually put you and me on the same ring."

Baili Xuanyi leaped onto the ring, laughing arrogantly.

Although he had already given up on contending for the championship in his heart, severely teaching this guy a lesson was also a good outcome.

As for the outcome, he had no doubts. After all, he was a Yuansheng Stage expert. As long as he kept a close eye and didn't give the opponent a chance to use his chaotic spiritual treasure, he had already completely secured the victory.

"It's already your luck to have reached this position by relying on sneak attacks. If you have the guts, try to sneak attack me again…"

Many people believed that Ye Bufan had defeated Chi Ao in one move by relying on a sneak attack, and he was among them.

But just as he spoke halfway, he found that the opponent's figure had disappeared from his original spot.

"Where is he?"

Baili Xuanyi's expression instantly changed drastically. Only now did he realize that the opponent was not as simple as he had imagined.

But he didn't panic too much. After all, he had the cultivation of the Yuansheng Stage, and his protective Origin Qi circulated frantically.

According to his thoughts, even if the opponent's movement technique was profound, even if the opponent sneak attacked, they would ultimately not be able to break through his defenses.

But then, an overwhelming pressure came from behind. The violent Qi instantly tore his protective Origin Qi to shreds, followed by a heavy punch that landed on his back.

"Pfft!"

Baili Xuanyi felt as if his internal organs had been displaced. He spewed blood, and his entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily below the ring.

As the first to be knocked off the ring, according to the rules, he was the last ranked among the ten people.

In the first two rounds of testing, he was a peerless Prodigy who surpassed everyone, but now he was beaten so miserably.

The most crucial thing was that he didn't even have time to display his strength before he was sneak-attacked by the opponent, not even understanding what had happened.

In shame and anger, he spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

The crowd below watched in stunned silence. The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

In the hearts of countless people, as a Core Disciple of Taihua Hall and a Yuansheng First Grade expert, Baili Xuanyi was the undisputed second place.

But as it turned out, he came up to show off and let someone sneak attack him, and he was even successfully sneak-attacked, ending up in such a state.

As the battle here ended, another figure immediately fell off a ring. It was Zhong Fan from ring four.

In terms of strength, this guy was also excellent, having reached Yuandi Eighth Grade, but unfortunately, his opponent was the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts.

A Yuandi Stage expert contending against a Yuan Ancestor Stage expert was akin to the strength gap between a baby and a strong man. He couldn't even block a single move and became the ninth place, ranking before Baili Xuanyi.
