Chapter 534: I Protest, Someone’s Cheating!
Inside the forty-fifth level, Lin Fengmian finally began to use his spiritual energy, precisely and ruthlessly killing one demonic beast after another with his sword.
His movements were precise and cold, each strike deadly, not wasting a single ounce of spiritual energy. He moved like a meticulous puppet.
Soon, Lin Fengmian broke through the forty-fifth floor. He charged through the floors one after another, unstoppable, as if there were no obstacles in his way.
Outside, Ding Bonan sneered, “This guy is just showing off. He’s just doing this to get attention.”
Others chimed in, “Exactly! How far can he go? Probably no higher than the fifty-eighth level.”
“With his flashy but useless skills? Fifty-eighth level? You’re joking, right?”
…
Ding Bonan slammed down his teacup and snorted, “If he can reach the fifty-eighth level, I’ll eat this cup!”
Everyone burst out laughing and agreed with him.
But in the blink of an eye, Lin Fengmian stepped into the fifty-eighth level, as if he deliberately slapped Ding Bonan’s face.
Everyone turned to look at Ding Bonan with strange expressions.
Ding Bonan’s face turned red, but he stubbornly said, “What are you looking at? It’s just a cup! I’ll eat it!”
True to his word, he smashed the teacup with a slap and forced himself to swallow the pieces.
The crowd couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up. “Brother Ding, you really keep your word!”
Ding Bonan gritted his teeth and swallowed the shards as he mumbled, “Of course! I, Ding Bonan, always keep my promises. I never go back on my word!”
A disciple suddenly exclaimed, “Brother Ding, it looks like that guy is about to break into the sixtieth level!”
Ding Bonan spat, “If this guy can reach the sixtieth, no, the sixty-first level, I’ll eat this teapot!”
In his mind, Lin Fengmian had plenty of treasures, so reaching the fifty-eighth level wasn’t surprising.
But the sixty-first level?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
A moment later, the sixty-first level lit up, casting a green glow on Ding Bonan’s face.
Ding Bonan stared at his ranking, which had dropped to eleventh place, in disbelief.
The Blood Fiend Trial was now out of his reach!
How could he have lost to that guy? It was impossible!
He shouted in anger, “This is impossible! There must be foul play! Someone is cheating!”
Zhou Yuanhua’s sharp gaze fell on him, and his expression darkened.
“If there were any cheating, the overseers would have detected it!”
Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but don’t talk nonsense!
Empress Fengyao is watching!
Ding Bonan didn’t dare to argue back, his face turning ashen.
But misfortune never comes alone. The others wouldn’t let him off the hook.
“Brother Ding? What about the teapot?”
Ding Bonan’s face darkened as he smashed the teapot and began swallowing the pieces one by one.
Some people, always looking for trouble, deliberately mocked Ding Bonan.
“Brother Ding, what if he reaches the seventieth level? What do you think?”
Ding Bonan, now thoroughly provoked, shouted, “Are you kidding me? If he reaches the seventieth level, I’ll… I’ll eat that stone bench!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, exclamations erupted from the crowd.
Ding Bonan shuddered, only to realize that it wasn’t Lin Fengmian reaching the seventieth level – it was Ye Yingying, who had stopped at the seventy-second level and emerged.
“Damn it, you scared me!”
Already frustrated, Ye Yingying noticed that her exit hadn’t drawn the attention she expected. She was confused.
When she saw that three pagodas were still lit, her expression turned serious.
“Besides Chen Chaoyan and Luo Jinfeng, who else is inside?”
“It’s Jun Wuxie!” someone replied.
Ye Yingying was stunned. “Jun Wuxie?”
The sixty-fifth level?
How is that possible?
Although someone quickly explained the situation to her, she was still shocked.
Was this guy pretending to be weak all this time?
Ye Yingying snorted. No matter what happened, her real opponents were still Luo Jinfeng and Chen Chaoyan.
Luo Jinfeng didn’t last long either. He was knocked out by a demonic beast and also stopped at the seventy-second level.
He hadn’t cleared the level and had wasted a lot of time, so his ranking ended up below Ye Yingying’s. He looked completely reluctant.
“I should’ve conceded earlier!”
As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Luo Jinfeng watched the seventy-third level light up, his expression filled with admiration.
“Chen Chaoyan has actually reached the seventy-third level?”
“This woman is truly remarkable!”
However, Ye Yingying was not convinced. “If I hadn’t been restricted, I could have done it too!”
A moment later, Chen Qingyan, ethereal and graceful, emerged from the Demon Subjugation Pagoda after stopping at the seventy-third level.
She quickly noticed that one pagoda was still lit, and it seemed to be the center of attention.
Even though her exit had caused quite a stir, most people’s focus remained on that pagoda.
“Who is still inside?”
Soon after, she learned that it was Lin Fengmian who was still breaking through the levels. Unlike the others, she wasn’t surprised.
“Junior Brother Lin, how far can you go?”
At this point, whether Lin Fengmian could reach the seventieth level had become the focus of everyone’s attention.
Because Lin Fengmian’s pagoda showed no signs of slowing down, as if he was charging forward with unstoppable momentum.
Ding Bonan, who had promised to eat the stone bench, clenched his fists, his entire body tense. He kept muttering to himself, “Please don’t make it! Please don’t make it!”
But against all odds, the seventieth level lit up and the crowd erupted in chaos. Everyone stood up.
“That guy has reached the seventieth level!”
“My God, didn’t they say that you can’t reach the seventieth level without the power of the Core Formation Realm?”
“There’s foul play here!”
Ding Bonan also jumped to his feet and angrily shouted, “Damn it, this is shameless! I protest! Someone is cheating!”
This guy is really brazen! He’s not even trying to hide his cheating!
The seventieth level! That’s now the fourth rank!
Nangong Xiu, who had initially been calm, thinking it was due to her secret technique, now had a complicated expression on her face.
“There’s definitely something wrong. I don’t know what method he’s using, but this kid is definitely cheating!”
“Damn it, cheating like this in front of everyone? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“Do you think everyone is blind?”
“Did that kid really stoop so low just to humiliate me?”
Seeing the chaotic scene, Nangong Xiu repeatedly shouted, “Silence! Silence!”
But her voice was drowned out by the uproar.
Zhou Yuanhua directly released his Void Realm Aura, suppressing the crowd. He sternly said, “Silence!”
He then turned to Qin Yan and the other overseers. “Nine overseers, is there any evidence of cheating?”
At this moment, all nine of the overseers were watching Lin Fengmian’s solo performance. They all shook their heads.
This doesn’t look like cheating!
It looks like he’s hacking into the system!
In the VIP seats, Jun Yunshang was also watching the Demon Subjugation Pagoda with interest.
“A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator reaching this level is truly a top-tier genius.”
“But is he really not cheating?”
Ding Bonan could only swallow his anger, looking at the stone bench with tears in his eyes.
Ye Yingying, who had just learned what had happened, couldn’t resist stirring the pot. She smiled at Ding Bonan.
“Ding Bonan, a man’s word is his bond! You’re not thinking of backing out, are you?”
Seeing everyone’s eyes on him, Ding Bonan snapped, “What are you looking at? Fine, I’ll eat it!”
