"Damn it! Who is that kid?"
Soon, those who had lost their qualification to compete and left the Sky Demon Force Field gathered under the stage, staring dumbfounded at Ling Feng, because, at that moment, Ling Feng had already entered the nearly seven-thousand-zhang area, where the gravity had reached a terrifying 500 times!
Among the contestants who could step into this area, only fifteen remained, and apart from Ling Feng, almost all were Peak Demon Monarchs.
"Damn, is this guy even a demon? He's too freakish!"
"Impressive indeed, but still not as impressive as Yain Xue. Yain Xue has been leading from the start, now over 800 meters ahead of second place. The champion this time is definitely Yain Xue."
"That might not be certain. Haven't you noticed Yain Xue's speed has obviously slowed down? I think that kid in the green robe will come from behind and win first place."
...
While everyone was busy discussing, Ling Feng, one of the focal points of the chatter, took a big step and walked into the 500-times-gravity region.
Here, those demon clan geniuses were panting heavily, their speed had slowed to the extreme. Even Yain Xue, running in first place, was not much faster than a normal walk, and his body had started to wobble slightly.
If even he was like this, the others were even worse off.
Mu Qianxue was already far behind Ling Feng, but she was still stubbornly pushing forward, believing that entering the top ten shouldn't be a problem.
Soon, Ling Feng had reached third place, with only Yain Xue and another Peak Demon Monarch ahead, who was relatively older, but had been left far behind by Yain Xue.
Yain Xue, running at the front, was less than a hundred zhang from the final finish line!
"God, that kid in the green robe is accelerating again!"
"He's second, he's already reached second place!"
"Oh my, Yain Xue is almost at the finish line! Only fifty zhang left!"
Those under the stage were all boiling with excitement as if they were competing themselves. Yain Xue couldn't hear the voices outside the Sky Demon Force Field, but seeing the crowd beneath the stage in such excitement, he thought they were cheering for him, and a small smug smile appeared on his face.
I, Yain Xue, am the protagonist today!
No one can compete!
Just then, he suddenly heard a rhythmic sound of footsteps behind him, someone was catching up!
"Someone's catching up to me? That's impossible!"
Yain Xue suddenly turned his head, only to see a green figure captured in his sight, and upon closer inspection, it was the same young man he had threatened in the square.
"How can it be you?"
Yain Xue was in disbelief, he couldn't have imagined that an ant he had completely looked down upon could compete with him in physical strength!
No, not compete, looking at his speed and demeanor, it's obvious the 500-times gravity had little impact on him.
In other words, his physical strength far exceeded his own!
Yain Xue clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and exploded with his full strength, charging forward fiercely.
He absolutely could not tolerate being overtaken by Ling Feng, he was the high and mighty genius who everyone could only look up to, how could he be surpassed by such an obscure kid!
No, absolutely not!
Yain Xue roared furiously, blood suddenly filled his eyes, and even his skin started exuding blood, bursting into layers of bloody mist.
"Going all out?"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled. As he ran by Yain Xue, he grinned, saying, "You're not up to it!"
Then, with a "whoosh," he directly overtook Yain Xue.
Compared to Yain Xue's struggle, Ling Feng completely seemed unaffected, leisurely walking, taking big strides forward with a hint of mockery on his face, easily surpassing him.
"Damn it, damn it, bastard!"
Yain Xue cursed madly in his heart, watching Ling Feng's silhouette gradually fade away, his whole body trembling violently, clenching his teeth, and a venomous expression rising on his handsome face.
"It's not possible, he's clearly only an Early-stage Demon Monarch; I still have a chance, I can still catch up, I can still win the championship!"
Yain Xue's eyes held a touch of madness, as he roared out loud. His figure shot forward once again, but after only a few steps, he completely lost his balance under the terrifying gravity, falling heavily to the ground.
Once he fell, it was as if a terrifying Divine Mountain pressed down on his back, making him unable to move, with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, staining the ground.
"No! No! No!"
Yain Xue hammered the ground with his fists wildly, but no matter how much he struggled, he was unable to stand up again.
The champion's throne had become completely out of reach for him!
Finally, when Ling Feng crossed the finish line, it marked the end of the first round of tests.
The disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace started to compile the results of the contestants. The top one thousand contestants advanced, while those ranked beyond one thousand were directly eliminated and had to leave the Dark Dragon Demon Domain. Of course, the results of the top ten contestants would be recorded in detail for awarding later.
"You did well, congratulations on winning the championship for the first round."
At this moment, Demon King Mo Bing slowly approached Ling Feng, his dark eyes fixed on Ling Feng, seemingly wanting to see through him.
Ling Feng turned back and smiled at the Demon King, "Thank you for your praise, Lord Demon King."
Demon King Mo Bing nodded slightly, his figure flashing, soaring into the sky again, and announced loudly, "The first round is over, the contestants who have advanced, you have an hour to rest."
"Yes!"
Those who advanced were all beaming with joy. Having passed the first round, they could receive some blood crystal rewards, even if they ultimately couldn't join the Dark Dragon Palace, it was still worth the trip.
Yet the one who won second place, Yain Xue, appeared utterly dejected. His goal was a triple crown, but unfortunately, it was cut short in the very first round.
This exceptionally talented demon clan genius became secretly hateful towards Ling Feng.
If at first it was just displeasure because Ling Feng had interfered with him claiming Mu Qianxue, now that displeasure had transformed into hatred, and the deep-seated inexcusable hatred would not be appeased unless Ling Feng was dead.
"A major announcement, that unexpected kid in the green robe is called Long Fei. Though he only possesses Second Refinement Demon Monarch strength, it's said he comes from the Northern Demon Domain's demon clan, possessing the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon Clan's King Beast Bloodline!"
"Damn! Turns out he's from the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon Clan, no wonder his physical strength is so freakish! But later rounds won't be so simple, hmph!"
"Indeed, this guy only took advantage of his physical strength; when it comes to talent, he is far inferior to the Silver Wolf Young Master. They're of similar age, but the Silver Wolf Young Master is already at Peak Demon Monarch level. Who's stronger or weaker, it's clear at a glance."
"True!"
"Long Fei just got lucky, the second round will be the Silver Wolf Young Master's highlight!"
Yain Xue sat crossed-legged on a golden circular platform, the chatter of those contestants around him could not escape his ears.
"So your name is Long Fei, huh?"
Yain Xue's eyes flashed with a cold gleam, "Even when you beat a dog, you have to consider its owner, not only did you injure my servant, now you dare to take what was originally my glory. You, deserve death!"
