I Break through Crazily

After sending Pei Ziming flying with a single punch, Tang Yi was teleported out of the arena, having won his fourth match.

The ranking placement required five matches. He had now completed four. One more, and his ranking placement would be complete.

Meanwhile, the outside world erupted into another uproar.

With his fourth victory, Tang Yi’s ranking had risen yet again!

He was now ranked 66th on the leaderboard!

And from the looks of it, it seemed like he still had a chance to climb even higher!

Everyone understood the rules of the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall. One had to complete all five matches to determine their true score and rank on the leaderboard. Only then would their strength be finalized, allowing for an accurate placement.

Before all five matches were completed, any score obtained was only temporary. Although this temporary score could get someone on the leaderboard, it wasn’t the final result.

Before the final score was calculated, the temporary score would only be lower than the True score, never higher.

The examinee with the temporary ID 59416 had only fought four matches. In other words, his current 66th place on the leaderboard was not his final rank!

His rank would go even higher!

After completing all five matches, even if he lost the fifth one, his rank would still rise again!

Amid their shock, everyone grew expectant. They wanted to see just how far this examinee with temporary ID 59416 could go, and they looked forward to him delivering even more surprises.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups and disciples from the various palaces were even more anxious to uncover the identity of examinee 59416. They wanted to seize the initiative and recruit him early, but as of yet, his identity remained a complete mystery.

Resigned, they could only wait in the main hall of Dui Palace’s Fighting Palace, scanning the examinees one by one for anyone who looked suspicious.

However, there were far too many examinees in the Fighting Palace at the moment. As examinees from various districts arrived, more and more of them appeared in Dui Palace. Upon hearing that an examinee in the Fighting Palace had broken into the top 3,000 of the Outer Mansion, they swarmed to this center of excitement, turning Dui Palace’s Fighting Palace into a sea of people...

’With so many people, how are we supposed to find him?’ The sheer number was dizzying, making it impossible to tell who might be the one.

「Ten minutes later...」

Tang Yi was finally matched with his fifth opponent...

This opponent was named Xuu Junfeng. He wore an emblem of a sword on his clothes, indicating he was likely a disciple from Lii Palace.

Just as Tang Yi had expected, the more matches he fought, the stronger his opponents became.

His fifth opponent, Xuu Junfeng, was indeed much stronger than Pei Ziming. He was actually a Two-star Battle King.

’I wonder what rank someone with this kind of strength holds on the West Mansion’s leaderboard.’

After the two entered the arena, Xuu Junfeng, holding a bright white longsword, launched an attack at Tang Yi. Tang Yi also blurred into motion, rushing toward Xuu Junfeng.

Neither wasted any time on words; the fight began the moment they entered the arena.

Initially, Tang Yi thought this match would be like the others—that he could easily defeat Xuu Junfeng and end it quickly. After all, in his eyes, there was no difference between a One-star Battle King and a Two-star Battle King.

However, this disciple named Xuu Junfeng’s swordsmanship was superb, and Tang Yi was surprisingly unable to defeat him right away.

Xuu Junfeng’s swordsmanship was on full display. The longsword in his hand was like a dancing sprite, leaping through the air with stunning beauty and grace.

With each swing, the longsword bizarrely left a white trail of energy. From this trail, Tang Yi could sense an incredible sharpness and a palpable danger.

It was these white energy trails and Xuu Junfeng’s impenetrable swordsmanship that gave Tang Yi considerable trouble. Despite Tang Yi’s great Speed and Power, he couldn’t get close to Xuu Junfeng at all, nor did he dare to block the strange white energy trails with his body.

"It’s useless! I heard about you before we were matched. They said you’re incredibly fast and can attack in an instant. I have to say, I admire an examinee who possesses such Speed before even entering the mansion. However, no matter how fast you are, your Speed is useless against my Seven-Star Sword Net."

Xuu Junfeng said with a smile as he executed his swordsmanship.

"So you came for me too?" Tang Yi asked upon hearing Xuu Junfeng’s words.

"That’s right. You’re causing too much of a stir. An examinee who hasn’t even entered the mansion shouldn’t be so prominent. So, I’m here to stop you," Xuu Junfeng said calmly.

"Heh? Is that so? And you think you have the strength to stop me?" Tang Yi said disdainfully.

"And why not? You can’t do anything to me right now, can you? Besides, I’ll be honest with you. My rank in the West Mansion Outer Mansion is 36th. The likes of Bai Jincheng, whom you defeated, I can beat in a single move. So, defeating them means nothing. You’re still a long way from the top level of the West Mansion Outer Mansion," Xuu Junfeng said calmly, his expression even more confident than Tang Yi’s.

"Is that so? Heh!"

Tang Yi gave a noncommittal smile and activated his Formless Divine Shadow Step. His Speed instantly nearly doubled!

Before, Xuu Junfeng could still see an afterimage of Tang Yi. Now, he couldn’t even see a shadow.

After activating the Formless Divine Shadow Step, Tang Yi laughed disdainfully. "How about now? Still think you can stop me?"

"N-No, impossible! How can you possess this kind of Speed?!"

Xuu Junfeng’s face turned pale with shock at Tang Yi’s Speed.

The Speed Tang Yi had shown before was already incomparably fast. If not for the effective protection of his sword net, Xuu Junfeng would have had no confidence in facing him.

But now, Tang Yi had accelerated again. This Speed was beyond Xuu Junfeng’s comprehension. It wasn’t the Speed of an examinee—no, it wasn’t a Speed that any disciple of the West Mansion Outer Mansion should possess!

This kind of Speed might be seen in the Inner Mansion, among those true powerhouses, but it should never appear in the Outer Mansion, and it absolutely should not belong to a mere examinee!

"Calling it ’impossible’ only proves you’re a frog in a well. In this world, nothing is impossible."

Tang Yi chuckled. Then, he moved. No matter how dense Xuu Junfeng’s sword net was, no matter how sharp his energy trails, all of it became a joke in the face of such unparalleled Speed.

Tang Yi’s figure weaved through the sword net and energy trails. Myriad sword flashes and countless white energy trails couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes.

Every time a sword strike came, Tang Yi was already somewhere else. Every time a white energy trail swept by, he had already twisted away to dodge it.

He was like a sprite, performing a graceful dance within the sword net.
