Taking a deep breath, Murong Zining gently massaged her temples, turned around, and flashed a charming smile to the geniuses participating in the elimination competition: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will now announce the list of the top fifty contestants..."

However, at that moment, a "crack" sound resounded throughout the venue.

The cracking sound came extremely suddenly and was exceedingly clear. Like the audience, Murong Zining quickly pinpointed the source of the sound. She was stunned when she saw it!

The detection stone, which had withstood countless years of wind and rain, had actually... cracked!

And there stood Ling Feng in front of the detection stone, his mouth twitching!

The entire scene fell silent for a while, followed by the sound of people gasping.

"He... shattered the detection stone with one palm strike!"

Ling Feng's mouth also couldn't help but twitch slightly. Darn it, he had only used ten percent of his strength just now.

However, the next moment, Ling Feng understood.

He indeed used only ten percent of his strength, but inadvertently, he had drawn upon the Supreme Yang Fire within him.

The Supreme Yang Power, infused into it, did not appear to have strong destructive capability on the surface, but its endurance prevailed.

It can be said that Ling Feng's palm embedded the Supreme Yang Power into the stele, and the Supreme Yang Power did not dissipate; rather, it adhered to the stele, continuing to destroy it internally, shattering the extremely hard detection stele directly.

"Damn, Fatty is indeed Fatty!"

"So powerful; I actually think Fatty looks rather handsome too!"

In this world, the bigger fist speaks the truth. Although Ling Feng's current "appearance" indeed leaves much to be desired, revealing Emperor Level combat competence inevitably draws a crowd of admirers and flatterers, bending their knees in respect...

"Now, Di Xuan has a real opponent; if they meet, it'll be worth watching!"

"You clearly don't get it, there's behind-the-scenes manipulation at play!"

"Oh man, I was too naive!"

...

Di Xuan lifted his head and gave Ling Feng a glance, the fighting spirit in his eyes growing more intense, yet there was also a hint of admiration.

Even Murong Zining couldn't help but take several glances at Ling Feng.

In her heart, massive waves of surprise surged. It's a pity this Fatty is really too ugly; otherwise, she might seriously consider his prospects.

With such a monstrous power and also being a high-level alchemist, it's a shame he's both fat and ugly!

After the detection phase, the competition commenced.

The qualified participants drew lots in pairs for matches.

And in the first match of the first round, someone actually drew Di Xuan.

Di Xuan's opponent decisively chose to forfeit and leave.

Murong Zining frowned slightly but said nothing. Facing a Human Emperor, who wouldn't be wary?

Don't be deceived by the seemingly minor gap between a Half-step Human Emperor and a Human Emperor; she was well aware of the significant difference.

"In that case, Di Xuan wins! The last group, Long Fei versus Jiaang Huan!"

Murong Zining announced the final match.

Before her voice had even finished echoing, the crowd was already buzzing with excitement.

This was Fatty's match!

"That Fatty is truly a dark horse; I wonder if his opponent will flee at the last moment too?" A spectator pondered curiously.

"Heh heh, Fatty strikes hard! Back in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, I saw him smack Murong Qianjun down dozens of floors, clap by clap, exhilarating as hell!"

"Even the detection stone could be shattered; there's no need to question Fatty's prowess, that Jiaang Huan surely won't dare... Hey, what the hell, she actually got on stage!"

A martial artist had been confidently assuring others that Jiaang Huan wouldn't dare step up, only to see Jiaang Huan leap onto the stage, which left him feeling embarrassed beyond measure.

When Ling Feng, with a cold expression, jumped onto the ring, a female cultivator with decent looks immediately followed suit and joined him.

Judging by looks, Murong Zining far surpassed her by a long shot, but in terms of figure...

Hmm, she was definitely the kind that could captivate men endlessly.

Seeing Jiaang Huan giggle as she respectfully saluted Ling Feng, she said with a playful smile, "Young Master Long, please go easy on this humble girl."

Even while speaking, she flung flirtatious glances at Ling Feng, her eyes sending out hidden signals.

Originally, this Jiaang Huan had mistaken Ling Feng for a lecherous type because of his earlier flirtatious action towards Murong Zining, thinking that using her beauty might enchant him.

In her mind, captivating him with her beauty could possibly give her a chance to strike back unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, her calculation was utterly wrong.
