Chapter 4066: Wang Xiong Is at the Center of Attention
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Needless to say, the Seven Mansions Feast continued even with Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng’s absence. Moreover, the fourth to tenth places had more or less been confirmed.
Wang Xiong easily rose to second place after Han Di surrendered without a fight.
Lin Yuan, due to the rules of the Seven Mansions Feast, could not challenge the second participant. Hence, he could only challenge Han Di later to rise to the third place.
As for the rankings after the third place, Yang Qian Ye and Ximen Long Xiang were sure to occupy the last two places. Ximen Long Xiang, who was now ranked tenth, did not seem to intend to fight Yang Qian Ye for ninth place. As such, the two lowest ranks had been confirmed.
For now, Luo Yuan and Wanqi Hong were ranked eighth and seventh respectively. Tuo Ba Xiu was ranked sixth; Yuan Mo Yu was ranked fifth; Lin Yuan was ranked fourth; Han Di was ranked third; Wang Xiong was ranked second; Duan Ling Tian was ranked first.
These were the ranks at the end of the day.
Most people were of the opinion that the rank would not change much. At this point, they were all eagerly anticipating the fight between Wang Xiong and Duan Ling Tian.

“Tomorrow, Lin Yuan will definitely challenge Han Di and rise to third place. Then, Wang Xiong will have to challenge Duan Ling Tian!”
“If Duan Ling Tian wins, the rankings should be finalized then. If he loses, he’ll have to fight Lin Yuan for second place.”
“I feel like Duan Ling Tian doesn’t have a high chance of ranking first. Duan Ling Tian and Elder Ye weren’t present today. Clearly, they’re hoping for a last-minute miracle. It shows that Duan Ling Tian’s not confident about fighting to a draw with Wang Xiong, let alone defeat Wang Xiong.”
“I agree. The winner this time should be Wang Xiong, the dark horse of the Seven Mansions Feast!”
“I wonder if Duan Ling Tian or Lin Yuan is stronger…”
“You’ll find out tomorrow!”
Wang Xiong was now at the center of attention. Most people thought he would rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast. Almost no one thought Duan Ling Tian had a chance of defeating Wang Xiong.
Lin Yuan had already been defeated by Wang Xiong. Unless he defeated Duan Ling Tian, he would not be able to challenge Wang Xiong again.
For example, Tuo Ba Xiu was defeated by Yuan Mo Yu so she could not challenge him again. As long as Yuan Mo Yu was not defeated by anyone who was ranked lower than her, she would not be able to challenge him again even though her strength had clearly risen.
“In any case, even if Duan Ling Tian doesn’t rank first, there’s no doubt he’ll rank second or third. All in all, the Pure Yang Sect is the biggest winner this time!”
Many people were envious when they thought about the Pure Yang Sect’s gains.
“That’s right. There are two participants from the Pure Yang Sect who rank in the top ten. Even if Duan Ling Tian gets knocked down to third place, he’ll still obtain three slots. In addition to the two slots from Yang Qian Ye, the Pure Yang Sect will have five slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm. Even if Wang Xiong ranks first, the Frozen Mountain Manor will only obtain four slots to enter the Holy Secret Realm.”
“Put Duan Ling Tian aside, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lin Yuan, Tuo Ba Xiu, Luo Yuan, or Yuan Mo Yu ranked first. However, I really didn’t expect Wang Xiong to be able to rank first!”
“It’s not just you. No one had expected the main character of the Seven Mansions Feast to be Wang Xiong.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Wang Xiong from the Frozen Mountain Manor. To them, there was no doubt that Wang Xiong was going to rank first. In contrast, fewer and fewer people paid attention to Duan Ling Tian, who attracted their attention in the beginning, after Wang Qiong revealed his strength. However, this did not mean they did not acknowledge Duan Ling Tian’s strength. It was just that now that someone stronger appeared, it was only natural that their attention would shift away. It was the reason why first place always received the most attention compared to second and third place even if there was only a small difference between the three.
…
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that everyone had already determined the winner of the Seven Mansions Feast. However, even if he were aware, he would not care about it.
He had experienced many things from his time in the mundane realm until now. His experience was not something ordinary people could comprehend. Even powerhouses who lived for tens of thousands of years in the Realms of Gods might not have experiences as rich as his.
The natives of Realms of Gods had a much higher starting point compared to those from the lower realms. As such, they did not have to risk their lives as much, and their cultivation paths were also much smoother. Consequently, they were less experienced compared to inhabitants of the lower realms.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian was immersed in studying Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao Principle. It shared the same source as his Sword Dao so he was able to comprehend it rather smoothly, yielding twice the result with half the effort.
At this time, his Sword Dao was progressing swiftly. It had to be said that previously his Sword Dao’s progress had stagnated. However, after studying Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao Principle, he was greatly inspired. He felt like a man in a desert who found an oasis.
Ye Chen Feng, who was displaying his Sword Dao to Duan Ling Tian at this moment, observed Duan Ling Tian. A faint smile appeared on his face as he murmured softly, “It seems like you’ve made some progress. I’ll help you to the best of my ability, but how much you can achieve will have to depend on your luck. In fact, I planned to let you study my Sword Dao Principle after the end of the Seven Mansions Feast. However, due to the sudden twist, I have to move the schedule ahead. Alas, even if you manage to improve due to my Sword Dao Principle, I’m afraid it’s nigh impossible for you to defeat Wang Xiong. I can only hope that you’ll fight to a draw with him, which is enough to secure first place. However…”
Ye Chen Feng shook his head as a thought popped up in his mind. Then, he muttered, “However, if you only manage to end the fight with Wang Xiong in a tie, I’m afraid those supreme-rank forces won’t be interested in you…” He sighed before he continued, “Well, let nature take its course. It’s all up to your luck now. After all, even if you can’t attract the attention of the supreme-rank forces now, you’ll definitely attract their attention sooner or later with your high innate talent and comprehension skills.”
In fact, with Duan Ling Tian’s talent, it would not be a problem for him to join a strong supreme-rank clan. It was just a matter of time. The thing was whether he was invited to join by them or if he joined through the normal recruitment process. If it was the former, Duan Ling Tian would be able to negotiate terms and also receive better treatment.
Those who joined through the ordinary recruitment process naturally would not be given any special treatment. They would have to climb up slowly from the bottom to receive better treatment.
…
At the same time.
The venue of the Seven Mansions Feast was empty.
High in the sky, above the clouds, the magnificent jade palace from before was still suspended in the air.
Even when Wang Xiong and Lin Yuan flew high up above the clouds, the intermediate Emperors of Gods, who were observing the fight, still did not notice the presence of the jade palace.
The jade palace was like the palace of immortals, surrounded by swirling mists.
At this moment, in the front courtyard of the palace, an old woman and a teenage girl sat in front of a stone table. At the same time, a man and a woman stood respectfully at the side.
The teenage girl asked the old woman in a spoiled manner, “Grandma, just tell me… Will brother rank first or not?”
The old woman shook her head and said, “Girl, why are you so anxious? Just wait for a little longer. You’ll see for yourself tomorrow.”
The teenage girl frowned slightly upon hearing the old woman’s words. Then, she looked around before she said cunningly, “But… Currently, isn’t the gap between brother and that Wang Xiong too wide? Grandma, why don’t we injure that Wang Xiong slightly? Or, perhaps, we can make sure he has a stomach tomorrow, causing him to be unable to participate?”
The old woman looked at the teenage girl, clearly displeased. “Isn’t that bullying? You should understand that it’s inappropriate to do such things. I still haven’t punished you for running over to meet him previously.”
Upon hearing these words, the teenage girl pouted. Then, she said pitifully, “Grandma, didn’t I give him an explanation previously? I came up with a pretty good explanation!”
“Explanation? Your explanation is shoddy,” the old woman glanced at the teenage girl and said, “It’s best that you don’t mention that explanation. I’m sure he’s already suspicious… In any case, you’re not allowed to meet him until I say so. At most, you can only watch him secretly like this…”
The old woman’s tone grew sterner and sterner as she spoke.
The teenage girl no longer dared to speak. Her expression became increasingly pitiful, making her look charming at the same time.
