53: Poor Feng Zijun

Outside the illusion realm.

Great General Who Suppresses Heaven Zhou Xuanzheng furrowed his brows tightly at this moment, because just a moment ago, Yang Lingchen and Nangong Xiao had actually joined forces to hunt down several members of the imperial family again.

This situation had never occurred in any previous Grand Competition.

It was simply because Yang Lingchen's current points had already surpassed those of the Eighteenth Prince, Zhou Yuming.

Although there was still a huge gap in total points between Heavenly Origin Palace and the Northern Profound Empire, the top spot on the individual leaderboard had been successfully snatched away by Yang Lingchen.

For the Northern Profound Empire, this was undoubtedly equivalent to a harsh slap in the face.

For countless years, no one had ever been able to snatch the top five spots on the leaderboard from the hands of the Northern Profound Empire.

Yet at this moment, Yang Lingchen had done it, and he had done it with the dazzling achievement of being in first place.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen and Nangong Xiao had already killed until their eyes were red; anyone from other factions they encountered was to be killed without exception.

As for the other princes of the Northern Profound Empire, they had already chosen to give up on continuing to hunt, because these princes possessed extremely formidable strength, and it was extremely difficult to hunt them down in a head-on confrontation.

At this time, Yang Lingchen's points were far ahead of Zhou Yuming, and Nangong Xiao's ranking had also successfully reached fifth place.

Finally, the long day passed, and the first round of the illusion trial was declared over.

When Yang Lingchen and Nangong Xiao were teleported out, those contestants who had been hunted down by the pair stared at them with wide, angry eyes, their gazes as if they wished they could swallow them alive.

According to the total ranking of the faction leaderboard, the Northern Profound Empire was ultimately still ranked first.

And miraculously, Heavenly Origin Palace had risen to second place, while third place belonged to Sword Origin Pavilion.

Dongfang Yunbing was very satisfied with this result.

At this moment, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Yang Lingchen was also filled with pride, because Yang Lingchen was not only her Disciple, but also her man.

Although this man was still very weak at the moment, Dongfang Yunbing firmly believed that as long as Yang Lingchen was given enough time, he would definitely become the most outstanding man in the Northern Profound Region, or even the entire Tianwu Continent.

"Good lad, this King thinks highly of you, and I look forward to your individual Ranking Battle tomorrow." At this time, Zhou Xuanzheng walked over.

"Greetings, Great General Who Suppresses Heaven." Dongfang Yunbing bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Great General Who Suppresses Heaven." Yang Lingchen and the others also followed suit and bowed.

"I didn't expect Palace Master Dongfang to be able to train her Disciple so outstandingly." Zhou Xuanzheng laughed heartily.

"You flatter him, Your Highness. Chener is still young and cannot bear such praise." Dongfang Yunbing responded humbly.

"To possess such strength at such a young age, he is absolutely worthy of this King's praise."

Afterwards, Zhou Xuanzheng chatted for a few more sentences before turning and leaving.

At this time, Nangong Xiao and Nangong Yan also walked over and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you are too amazing. I really didn't expect your points to be ranked first. I originally thought you didn't have as many points as me!"

Nangong Yan even directly hugged Yang Lingchen's arm, looking at him with a face full of admiration.

"It's all luck, just luck." Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Luck my ass, strength is strength. But I acknowledge you as my Brother-in-law." Nangong Xiao said with a smile.

Not far behind Yang Lingchen, Lin Yurou whispered to Ling Yanyun, "Sister Yanyun, if you don't take the initiative, Junior Brother Lingchen will be snatched away by someone else!"

"Hmph! Let him be snatched away; who cares about a playboy like him." Ling Yanyun said through gritted teeth.

"An outstanding man will surely be surrounded by all kinds of women. If you don't make a move, the women surrounding him will only increase, and perhaps one day he will forget you completely." Lin Yurou said.

After Yang Lingchen said goodbye to the siblings Nangong Xiao and Nangong Yan, everyone followed Dongfang Yunbing back to the Heavenly Origin Palace stronghold.

At dusk, the group from Heavenly Origin Palace successfully returned to the stronghold. Yang Lingchen returned to his room and then began to Cultivate.

Meanwhile, at the Nineteenth Princesss Mansion. Feng Wuji brought a very reluctant Feng Zijun to the Nineteenth Princesss Mansion.

After sending Feng Zijun into the Princesss Mansion, Feng Wuji excitedly returned to the Diyin Sect's stronghold.

"Your name is Feng Zijun?" Zhou Yuxin asked, frowning.

Zhou Yuxin was speechless; everything had already been prepared! She was just waiting to deal with Feng Zijun that night.

Who knew that Feng Zijun was not the person she was looking for. This made her feel quite depressed.

"Your Highness, I am Feng Zijun." Feng Zijun bowed nervously.

"This Princess is furious." Zhou Yuxin's face instantly turned livid.

However, she couldn't care about that anymore; she was full of anger now and had to find someone to vent on.

"Hmm! This kid seems to look quite decent, so it will be him." Zhou Yuxin scrutinized Feng Zijun for a moment.

Then, she dragged Feng Zijun into the room.

The next morning, Feng Zijun walked out of the Princesss Mansion with his legs trembling non-stop, looking as if life had lost all meaning.

Meanwhile, the news that Yang Lingchen had won the first round of individual points champion spread like the wind throughout the entire Northern Profound Imperial City.

Zhou Yuxin and Zhou Yutong finally learned of Yang Lingchen's true identity.

Especially Zhou Yuxin; she was becoming increasingly interested in Yang Lingchen, and she swore in her heart that she must have this man.

After a night of Cultivation, Yang Lingchen walked out of his room, full of energy.

Led by Dongfang Yunbing, the group arrived at the top of Beixuan Peak once again.

Beixuan Peak was like a sea of people today; compared to yesterday, the number of spectators today was much larger.

Because today was the individual Ranking Battle for the younger generation of the Northern Profound Region, its popularity was far beyond what the first round could compare to.

At this time, Great General Who Suppresses Heaven Zhou Xuanzheng walked to the center of the Arena and said loudly, "The rules for today's individual Ranking Battle are as follows: once you step onto the Arena, life and death are up to fate. However, if the opponent admits defeat, you are not allowed to continue the killing blow, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Then Zhou Xuanzheng explained the various details of the Grand Competition in detail.

There were a total of 70 people participating in this individual Ranking Battle, and the final ranking would be determined according to the winning percentage.

That is to say, everyone needed to fight 69 matches, and the person with the highest winning percentage in the end would be the overall champion.

Since the 69 matches required a relatively long time, the duration of this individual Ranking Battle was divided into seven days, with each person having to fight about ten matches a day on average.

Just as Yang Lingchen was carefully studying the rules, he suddenly felt as if he were being stared at intently by a ferocious Vicious Beast.

Yang Lingchen quickly looked up and saw Zhou Yuxin in the distance, staring at him with a sinister smile.

Looking at Zhou Yuxin's mouthful of buckteeth, Yang Lingchen felt goosebumps instantly rise all over his body.

"Junior Brother Lingchen, does that Princess Yuxin like you? I see her staring at you the whole time." Lin Yurou asked curiously.

"That's because I killed her in the illusion realm, which is why she is looking at me like that." Yang Lingchen explained.

"Is that so? Then you must be careful. Zhou Yuxin is extremely brutal; no man she targets ever has a good ending." Lin Yurou warned.

Just at this moment, Feng Zijun walked towards Yang Lingchen with a gloomy face.

"Yang Lingchen, you despicable and shameless villain." Feng Zijun said in a cold voice.

"Brother Feng, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a night, why do you look like a persimmon hit by frost?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously.

Originally, Feng Zijun was quite handsome and dashing, but at this moment, his legs were trembling non-stop as he walked, and he was swaying as if he would fall down at any moment.

"It's you, it's all your fault. If you hadn't impersonated me in front of Zhou Yuxin, how could I have become like this?" Feng Zijun looked at Yang Lingchen with a face full of resentment.

"Ahem… Brother Feng, you didn't spend the night at the Princesss Mansion, did you!"

"Then I must congratulate Brother Feng on winning the beauty's heart. However, Brother Feng, your physique really won't do! To be ravaged like this after just one night, you really need to nourish your kidneys later." Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"I want to kill you, you shameless villain." Feng Zijun was so angry that he almost vomited blood; at this moment, he could no longer endure it.

Last night was the darkest night of his life, and all of this was caused by Yang Lingchen.

Feng Zijun drew his sword and slashed fiercely at Yang Lingchen, but at this moment, how could he be Yang Lingchen's opponent?

"Bang!" Without any suspense, Feng Zijun was kicked flying by Yang Lingchen.

"Yang Lingchen, just you wait. One day, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces." Feng Zijun left behind a harsh threat before departing.
