The King of the Gods
Chapter 81: Tight Competition
"Lord Guanjun has been out secluded meditation and he will arrive here personally within three days." The news exploded in the Sky Guards Battalion.
Many youths clenched their hands in excitement. In Guanjun Province City, Lord Guanjun meant absolute power, he was a legendary figure respected by every cultivator.
The moment this news was announced, the competition between the Ten Sky Guards became intensified with some of the top ten challenging each other.
Without a doubt, the higher your rank in the Ten Sky Guards, the higher your chances of being chosen. The group of young men seemed to be going crazy, madly cultivating and challenging each other, even if they knew that they had almost no chance of winning.
During these two days, even Zhao Feng received some challenges.
Zhao Feng accepted everything and used the Star Finger to finish off the opponent in one move. In order to attract less trouble, Zhao Feng released his seventh rank aura.
He did this for two reasons.
First, fewer people will challenge it. If his cultivation reached the seventh rank, he would enter the Martial Master stage and a whole new level. Even if you give the other youths a hundred guts, they will not dare to challenge him.
Secondly, the higher the cultivation Zhao Feng showed, the higher the chances of being chosen by Lord Guanjun. Zhao Feng also admired the mysterious and legendary Lord Guanjun.
"Yes God! Zhao Feng had reached the seventh rank!"
"The Sky Guards Battalion now has another super genius!"
The news of Zhao Feng reaching the seventh rank exploded. Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi both came to congratulate him.
“Congratulations to Brother Zhao for reaching Martial Master.” Huang Qi looked at Zhao Feng with respect and admiration.
The three levels in the nine stages of the Martial Path were called: Martial Student, Martial Artist, and Martial Master.
Once one reached a higher level, their status would change significantly.
Martial Learners were lower level cultivators. Martial Artists not only have strength, people will respect them. One would enter the top tier just by entering the rank of Martial Master.
Once one reached the seventh rank, they would receive an invitation from one of the thirteen countries.
"I know Brother Feng will not lose to Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong." Happiness shone in Zhao Yufei's eyes.
He found it easy to accept Zhao Feng reaching the seventh rank and he was happy for him.
From an outer disciple to an inner disciple, then to being a genius in the Sun Feather City, Zhao Yufei had been there and witnessed his resurrection.
"Yufei, with your potential, you will soon reach the seventh rank." Zhao Feng smiled and observed his left eye above Zhao Yufei's body.
Zhao Yufei's cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth rank and he was ranked fifth in the Ten Sky Guards.
In the building in the middle of the area.
“There are some geniuses in the Sky Guards Battalion, I hope it doesn't disappoint Mr. Guanjun..” The Third Guards' murmur.
Although he stayed in the building most of the time, he still knew the situation in the Sky Guards Battalion. Upon hearing that Zhao Feng had reached the seventh rank, Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong were shocked.
Time crept towards the end of the three days and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
The ninth position changes almost every hour. Those who were not challenged were the three great geniuses of the seventh rank, all of whom used incomparable might to defeat their opponents.
Zhao Feng calmed down and focused on increasing his strength over the past two days. The time Zhao Feng had was limited, so he focused on the Breath Return Technique and the Star Finger, which broke through to the fifth level on the third day.
The Star Finger was divided into seven levels and the fifth level made Zhao Feng's finger send out a beautiful light wave.
Extreme perfection! Extreme speed!
This was Zhao Feng's feeling as he used the Star Finger. In just one breath, he could fire seven to eight fingers and make the attack threaten the seventh rank.
The ultimate movement of "One Star Line Dance" reached the strength of the eighth rank and this was when he did not even use the Silver Wall Technique.
"Understanding, Mr. Guanjun will arrive tomorrow."
Nightfall.
Huang Qi had finally reached the ninth rank in the Ten Sky Guards and he settled there. Now, he had two peak ranked martial arts that had reached the high level and he had also reached the sixth rank pinnacle as well.
“I'm finally back.”
Huang Qi sighed and he challenged the number eight he defeated. He did this because the ninth position was too dangerous because too many people were challenging him.
Even if the cultivation of the sixth rank peak Huang Qi, he had only placed eighth, which proved how fierce the competition was.
"Zhao Feng, with your strength, you can reach the top three." Huang Qi was curious.
He knew Zhao Fengs strength, Zhao Feng could kill a quasi-defensive master when he was only at the sixth rank of the peak and the latter had received many battle points after the mission. Huang Qi was confident that Zhao Feng could be first or second. He finished second because Feng Hanyue had reached the peak of the seventh rank.
Within the Ten Sky Guards, Feng Hanyue was the first, Zhao Feng the second and Lei Cong the third.
Clearly, this was the rank that the other youths had given them, but Zhao Feng was still tenth in the Ten Sky Guards.
“I've reached the seventh rank, so it doesn't matter.” Zhao Feng smiled casually.
Huang Qi could not help but give a look of envy. With Zhao Feng's current cultivation, there was a high chance that he was chosen by Lord Guanjun and his rank was of little importance.
He was a super genius who reached the seventh rank before turning sixteen.
Time passed slowly.
Finally morning arrived and the Third Guard walked out of his building: “Time is up! All of the Ten Sky Guards come to see me here tomorrow morning. At that time, Lord Guanjun will come personally to give you a hint.”
Hearing this, the Ten Sky Guards cried out in excitement, while the unelected felt sad.
“Hahaha... I can finally sleep now!” Huang Qi laughed out loud.
It was clear that the Third Guards wanted the youths to be in their peak condition when meeting Lord Guanjun. Zhao Feng was excited as well. Ever since he joined the eye, he had improved greatly.
When he had entered Guanjun Palace, the rivalry between the geniuses had triggered his potential and now, he had the chance to meet the legendary figure of the Cloud Country.
That night, the Ten Sky Guards slept soundly.
Next morning.
All the young men woke up early, full of strength.
Without summoning the Third Guard, the Ten Sky Guards walked into the building in the middle of the field.
Inside the building.
The ten young men arrived half an hour early.
“Not bad, all of you early.”
The Third Guard counted the people present and confirmed their names as there had been too many changes in the rankings in the past few days.
“Mm-hm. Ten people here, Feng Hanyue, Lei Cong, Lu Xiaoyu, Zhao Yufei.
When he read Zhao Feng's name, he was slightly stunned and the other youths had strange expressions when they heard this, but no one questioned his strength.
Ta! Ta! tah…
Right at this moment, footsteps sounded from outside.
Ten young men held their breath. Even before the door opened, a terrifying strength had suppressed them. The footsteps seemed to be standing above their hearts.
Under everyone's gaze, several figures walked in …
