Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1905: Chapter 1908: Legends of the Feather World: Black Feather People

”You’re talking nonsense.”

How could Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch Wu Leonard admit to such a thing?

Clearly, the crowd didn’t quite believe Ling Xiao’s words either.

”I’m talking nonsense? Well, the King’s Contest is about to start, and soon everyone will find out who’s really talking nonsense.”

Ling Xiao was now very sure that Leng Mei’s strength had surpassed that of Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch Wu Leonard, even slightly stronger than himself without using the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit.

This was also why he believed Leng Mei was possessed by someone.

”Apart from him, the later rankings should not have changed, right? Then let’s continue the announcements starting from seventh place.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven really didn’t want to keep watching Ling Xiao being smug, so he took the opportunity to speak.

However, the divine envoy’s expression was extremely peculiar.

”What’s going on?”

Everyone looked at the divine envoy, utterly confused.

”Could there have been changes?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven asked, puzzled.

The divine envoy nodded and said, ”Ranked second, it’s Leng Mei!”

What!

This time, the voices of surprise were even louder than before.

If it was said that Ling Xiao luckily took first place, people could reluctantly accept it, after all, he had shown some impressive strength.

But what about Leng Mei?

She was merely a maid beside Ling Xiao, how could she take second place?

”Are you sure there was no mistake?”

This time Morgan Lawless Heaven was so agitated he directly snatched the results sheet from the divine envoy’s hand.

After a long careful examination, he confirmed there was no mistake.

He really couldn’t understand what had happened in that Ten Thousand Demons Tomb to make this woman’s score so high.

Although the crystal screen displayed the detailed scores, it didn’t show what exactly the martial artists had achieved.

This made him a bit frantic.

Martial artists from Tianhai Holy Institution, Water Temple, Sky Demon Sect, and other factions hostile to Ling Xiao were now looking displeased.

Ling Xiao had taken first place.

Leng Mei had taken second.

Even though it wasn’t clear what special benefits came from being first and second in this treasure-seeking contest, people couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.

”Presiding Judge, please don’t just marvel at this, you said earlier that the ranking would have a special impact, the higher the ranking, the more benefits, right? What exactly are those benefits?”

Ling Xiao looked towards Morgan Lawless Heaven and asked.

He was now most concerned not about the King’s Contest.

Because now if he directly participated in the King’s Contest, without using the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for Phoenix Feiye, Tianai Ba Tu, and Lei Lie.

Even fighting the other top geniuses would be hard.

So during the gap between the second and third battles, he still had to improve his strength as much as possible.

If the benefits from ranking high in the second battle could enhance his strength, he certainly wouldn’t want to miss out.

”That’s right, I did say that. Now I can tell you, after the second battle, the top ten ranked martial artists will have the right to choose whom to fight and whom not to, in the initial rounds.

Of course, when facing strong opponents at the end, there’s no avoiding it.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven explained.

”That’s it?”

Ling Xiao was utterly disappointed, if that’s all there was to it, why did he need to strive so hard?

”Not exactly, after the treasure-seeking contest ends, the top ten ranked martial artists will each receive a piece of Magic Cube Metal. If you’re lucky, you’ll gain tremendous opportunities from this Magic Cube Metal.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven didn’t want Ling Xiao to become overjoyed.

But he had to say this because it was a rule, otherwise, Xuanwu Divine Hall would naturally replace the presiding judge.

”Interesting!”

Ling Xiao nodded, finally satisfied, and retreated.

Truly, he didn’t care who his opponent was in the final battle.

He just cared about what benefits came from obtaining first place in the second battle.

”Master, that spatial rift actually pertains to a part of my past, I’m not originally from the Mysterious World.”

Sitting among the crowd, surrounded by her own people, Leng Mei finally lowered her voice and said to Ling Xiao.

”Oh?”

Ling Xiao didn’t stop Leng Mei from continuing.

Since Leng Mei wanted to tell him everything, of course, he wouldn’t refuse.

”The place I originally lived in is called the ’Feather World’, like the Mysterious World, it’s a separate plane.

Later, a powerful army invaded the Feather World, starting to massacre the Feather People.

They were all hulking giants, calling themselves the ’Heavenly Clan’, hailing from the Heaven’s Realm, with extremely strong combat capabilities.

From then on, the Feather World began a war that lasted tens of thousands of years.

And I was a princess of a small country within the Feather World, called Black Feather Nation, with only about a hundred thousand citizens.

The King Yu, to protect the Feather People of Black Feather Nation, eventually came up with an idea to completely separate Black Feather Nation from the Feather World, leaving that plane.”

”Did it fail?”

Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

If it hadn’t failed, he believed Leng Mei wouldn’t have been sold as a slave, and the condition inside that spatial rift wouldn’t be so tragic.

”Yes, there was a traitor in Black Feather Nation, and as a result, King Yu, my father, fought with the army to send away about ten thousand Feather People.

But unfortunately, most of them were ordinary people and children, who got lost in space-time.

I was brought to the Mysterious World and soon caught as a slave.”

Leng Mei nodded and said.

While Leng Mei was speaking of these things, Morgan Lawless Heaven had already finished speaking about the events following the treasure-seeking contest and began to continue announcing the rankings.

”Ling Xiao first, Leng Mei second, Phoenix Feiye third, Tianai Ba Tu fourth, Lei Lie fifth, Sun Leng Chan sixth, Joshua Long seventh!”

These were the previously announced scores of several individuals, adding to the two dark horses, Ling Xiao and Leng Mei.

”These memories of yours, did you gain them from that rift?”

Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

”Yes, in that space, I not only gained these memories but also inherited what my father left me, allowing my strength to advance rapidly, definitely not being possessed.”

Leng Mei emphasized.

”I believe you, whether you’re a Black Feather Person or a human, it doesn’t change anything for me.

Well, speaking of changes, at least, you can now help me even more.”

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Leng Mei beamed, revealing a radiant smile she had never shown before.

Her biggest fear was Ling Xiao disdaining her after knowing her true identity, but now it seemed her worries were entirely unnecessary.

”Rank eighth—Zui Linglong!”

At this moment, the divine envoy finally announced the eighth-ranked martial artist, Zui Linglong from the Zhengyi Sect.

So far, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire had occupied three places in the top eight, more than the Zhengyi Sect, a result even Ling Xiao hadn’t anticipated.

Originally, he thought it would be good enough if he alone made it into the top ten.

But Joshua Long and Leng Mei’s performances completely exceeded his expectations, greatly comforting him.

However, the subsequent rankings were somewhat boring, with almost no suspense.

Starting with Zui Linglong, followed by Little Dot, Young Master Sky Wolf, Silver Wolf Princess, Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch Wu Leonard, Fairy of Qingqiu, Green Hills Separation Fire, Princess Consort, Lei Tun, Lei Mang, and so on.
