58: Top five in Chapter 58! Rewards!

Everyone was certain that the next time Lin Ye and Ye Feng fought, it would definitely be a peak canine showdown between the Marrow-Eating Demon Hound and the Hell Three-Headed Hound—a fateful collision that everyone was looking forward to.

Ye Feng stared fixedly at Lin Ye, manic killing intent burning in the depths of his eyes as he roared loudly: "Lin Ye! My S-rank Hell Three-Headed Hound counters all canine fierce beasts! During the State Competition, I will use hound against hound to crush your Marrow-Eating Demon Hound and completely ruin your reputation!"

Having built up his momentum for a long time, his heart was filled with the obsession of a direct confrontation to wash away his past disgrace, firmly believing that his high-tier S-rank canine species could perfectly suppress Lin Ye's mass-produced malevolent Qi demonic hounds.

Yet facing his frantic clamoring, Lin Ye merely stood below the stage, his gaze clear and cold, the corners of his lips curling into an indifferent, faint smile.

The Hell Three-Headed Hound? A tri-attribute, all-around S-rank canine species?

It seemed specially targeted at his demonic hound system, and victory seemed within his grasp, but unfortunately, Ye Feng had guessed wrong after all.

He would never be shackled in combat power by a single kindred, nor would he duel according to his opponent's script. Ye Feng's lingering obsession with a canine-versus-canine fateful duel was an opportunity Lin Ye had no intention of giving him at all.

His trump cards emerged endlessly; whether it was the demonic hounds, the Shadow Fox, or the Soul-Crying Crow, each type possessed an unbreakably counter-effective combat strength. A mere Hell Three-Headed Hound was not worthy of forcing him to deploy his core demonic hound legion, nor was it worthy of making him accept this game head-on.

No matter how frantically Ye Feng clamored, Lin Ye remained silent and calm, refusing to respond. The indifference in the depths of his eyes had long since foretold the outcome of the State Competition.

As the final match concluded, all forty-five round-robin matches came to an end. The total points for the city's Top Ten were fully tallied, and the ultimate Top Five leaderboard was simultaneously displayed on the arena's giant screen, its golden characters shining brightly and finalizing the ultimate pattern of this City Tournament!

The final Top Five rankings of this Cangnan City Godhood League:

First Place: Xiao Qingwu — SS-grade Divine Kingdom, Kindred: Xueli Ice Luan

Second Place: Wan Tianlu — S-grade Divine Kingdom, Kindred: Wind-Feathered Sacred Eagle

Third Place: Jiang Mingliang — S-grade Divine Kingdom, Kindred: Thunder Flame Lion

Fourth Place: Ye Feng — A-grade Divine Kingdom, Kindred: Thunderstorm Berserk Rhino, Hell Three-Headed Hound

Fifth Place: Lin Ye — F--grade Divine Kingdom, Kindred: Marrow-Eating Demon Hound, Soul-Crying Crow, Shadow Fox

The moment the leaderboard appeared, the entire arena once again erupted in a monstrous uproar!

SS-grade and double S-grade geniuses steadily occupying the front ranks was only logical; what most subverted everyone's perception were still the two anomalies.

Ye Feng, with an A-grade rating, relied on his hidden S-grade Hell Three-Headed Hound trump card to forcefully squeeze out multiple S-grade geniuses, firmly securing fourth place in the city;

As for the most outrageous one, it was none other than Lin Ye. With a rock-bottom F--grade trash god rating and holding 7 points, he forcefully slashed his way into the city's Top Five, securing the most precious entry ticket to the State Competition!

Since ancient times, Cangnan City had never seen a precedent where an F--grade divine kingdom reached the top five of the City Tournament. Lin Ye directly shattered the talent landscape of the entire Cangnan City, creating an unprecedented dark horse legend.

"He's crazy! Defying the heavens and changing fate! An F-grade forcefully storming into the city's top five!"

"Three top-tier kindred, matched with an unbreakable synergy tactic—how is this a trash god? This is a top-tier divine sovereign hidden at the bottom!"

"Ye Feng hid an S-grade Hell Three-Headed Hound, no wonder he dared to target Lin Ye everywhere. It's a pity he ran into Lin Ye, who simply doesn't play by common sense!"

"There'll be a good show to watch at the State Competition! Xiao Qingwu's Ice Luan, Wan Tianlu's Sacred Eagle, Ye Feng's Three-Headed Hound, and Lin Ye's three major cryptic kindred—the Quanzhou tournament will definitely stir up waves!"

Cheers and exclamations resounded across the audience. Only Ye Feng stood amidst the crowd, his expression shifting between dark and light, the obsession and unwillingness in his heart growing increasingly intense.

The fourth-place ranking matched his expectations. The trump card of the S-grade Hell Three-Headed Hound had won him everyone's dread and recognition, yet he was still filled with grievance and stifled anger.

He had won the ranking and the points, but he had never managed to get the opportunity to fight Lin Ye head-on. Lin Ye's deliberate evasion and extreme disdain remained the deepest thorn in his heart.

He stared fixedly at Lin Ye's name on the light screen, thunderous killing intent surging in his eyes: "During the State Competition, I will definitely force you to go all out! I want to see whether all your trump cards can withstand my Hell Three-Headed Hound!"

The sunlight from the arena's dome spilled down, illuminating the youth's slender and proud figure.

Lin Ye raised his eyes to look into the distance, without a single ripple in the depths of his gaze.

The City Tournament's top five was merely the conclusion of the warm-up.

Six days later, at the Nantan Prefecture tournament, real divine kingdom duels, unrestricted full display of trump cards, and life-and-death games coexisting—that would be his true stage.

Jinghun Hall's ultimate reward, along with all hidden grudges and undecided victories or defeats, would ultimately settle during the State Competition.

Just as the heated discussions throughout the venue continued endlessly and everyone was still immersed in the shock of the top five leaderboard, a heavyweight fact that caused an even greater sensation across the audience was suddenly noticed by everyone.

There were as many as fifteen public high schools participating in the competition in Cangnan City, covering all talented student sources across the city. Over the years, the top five seats of the City Tournament had always been dispersed among various schools in a hundred flowers blooming; having at most two people from a single high school make the cut was already the limit.

Yet in this batch, the Third Public High School directly monopolized three seats of the top five!

Fifth place Lin Ye, fourth place Ye Feng, and first place Xiao Qingwu, all three top geniuses came from the Third Public High School!

This discovery caused the originally boiling arena to completely explode. Cheers and exclamations rose higher than ever, completely crushing all previous heated discussions!

"Oh my god! Three people from the Third High School rushed into the city's top five? What kind of defying battle record is this!"

"Fifteen high schools competed on the same stage, and a single school swept more than half of the top spots. Such a situation has never appeared in Cangnan City's century-old league!"

"The Third High School has completely won big this time! It directly crushed all prestigious schools in the city by a fault line, setting a historical record!"

Everyone in the audience suddenly understood. Compared to Lin Ye's heaven-defying climb to the rankings with an F-grade and Ye Feng's dazzling hidden S-grade trump card, the collective rise of the Third Public High School was the most pattern-subverting legend of this City Tournament!

High above the arena stands, the principal and leading mentor of the Third High School were already trembling all over with excitement, their faces glowing red as they could hardly conceal the wild joy in their hearts.

In past years, their school always steadily held the middle tier, and it was already a blessing to occasionally produce a City Tournament top ten. They had never imagined that they could produce three prefecture-level geniuses in one fell swoop, directly rewriting the school's century-old history!

The school representatives of the other fourteen high schools all wore complex expressions, filled with envy, yet they were powerless to refute.

This batch's Third High School had already completely transcended tiers, solely occupying the pinnacle of Cangnan's geniuses.

Such a historic and brilliant combat record immediately shocked the municipal government's tournament high-level officials sitting in command at the scene.

In just a few minutes, the municipal government immediately finalized the official reward plan, which resounded through the entire venue via the arena broadcast, officially announcing the exclusive benefits for all top-five City Tournament winners!

"Now officially announcing the exclusive rewards for the final top five of this Cangnan City Godhood League!

Each contestant who made it into the city's top five will uniformly be awarded: one A-grade random kindred card, one A-grade kindred reproduction card, and one three-year divine kingdom flow rate card!"

As soon as the rewards came out, the audience once again erupted in an uproar, countless participating contestants' eyes filled with envy!
