The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2149 - 2138: The Preliminary Round Ends

After continuously using the Thousand Thunder Flash for thirty seconds.

When Ye Chenfeng wanted to continue, he only felt a stabbing pain throughout his meridians, making it impossible to perform the Thousand Thunder Flash.

As he frowned tightly, the old man Wu Fengxian said, "Young one, you needn’t be overly concerned. This Thousand Thunder Flash is a Four-Star Secret Method. Do you think a Four-Star Secret Method can be used without any restrictions?"

"Using the Thousand Thunder Flash places a very heavy load on your body, so naturally, there is a time limit. I suppose after resting for a while, you will be able to use the Thousand Thunder Flash again."

Ye Chenfeng nodded silently. To be able to continuously use the Thousand Thunder Flash for thirty seconds was indeed quite impressive, after all, his Martial Arts of Profound Meaning, Rage, could only last for ten seconds!

When he had just used the Thousand Thunder Flash, the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder above his Sea of Consciousness flickered intermittently.

It seemed that some sort of connection could be formed between the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder and the Thousand Thunder Flash.

Only by experimenting again with the Thousand Thunder Flash could he determine whether the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder had any effect on it.

After resting for about fifteen minutes.

The Thousand Thunder Flash could be used again. When red lightning appeared suddenly under his calves and feet, the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder in his Sea of Consciousness once again stirred.

Ye Chenfeng’s figure whistled out, as he tried to attach a trace of power from the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder onto his legs, making the red lightning on his legs instantly brighter, and his speed surprisingly increased somewhat.

Thus, Ye Chenfeng kept attaching more of the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder to his legs, and his speed continually rose.

Red light shadows flitted back and forth over the lake, completely elusive to the naked eye.

Until thirty seconds passed.

When Ye Chenfeng was back on the shore, joy appeared on his face. Based on the recent experiment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder indeed could boost the speed of the Thousand Thunder Flash, which was definitely a good thing. Originally, the Thousand Thunder Flash was already fast, and with the continual addition of the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder’s power, it became even faster.

Old Jiang Yuntian said, "Kid, this Thousand Thunder Flash ought to be a Secret Technique derived from the speed of Heavenly Thunder. There are some similarities between the Thousand Thunder Flash and Heavenly Thunder, so you can imbue the Thousand Thunder Flash with the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder, and it can keep increasing its speed."

Actually, even without old Jiang Yuntian’s explanation, Ye Chenfeng had already guessed part of the principle, since he had already performed the Thousand Thunder Flash imbued with the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder.

Tomorrow is the time when the preliminary round ends.

Now that the Thousand Thunder Flash can be used, and surprisingly discovered that the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder can enhance its speed.

Ye Chenfeng returned to Yun Yutang and Ling Wushuang’s group.

Zhao Taiqing and Murong Xiaoyue were still unconscious. Only when the complete end of the Celestial Mystic Ceremony would they awaken, and during this unconscious period, they wouldn’t face any life-threatening dangers.

The bodies of the other competitors were all destroyed by Ye Chenfeng; he certainly didn’t want others to find any clues from them.

A day’s time flew by.

When the preliminary round ended, Ye Chenfeng, Yun Yutang, Ling Wushuang, Zhao Taiqing, and Murong Xiaoyue were all teleported out of the ancient Sky Imprisonment Realm.

When Ye Chenfeng and the others appeared on the South Square of Spirit Artifact City.

Xue Wanqing and the others were the first to appear beside Ye Chenfeng. After carefully inspecting him and confirming he was indeed unharmed, Xue Wanqing’s face once again gathered coldness.

And the people from Xiao Yao Palace, the Heavenly Sword Sect, Demonic Flame Valley, the Murongs, and the Jins also all appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng and his group.

The Sect Masters Mu Chengtong and Murong Jiang of Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs inspected the conditions of the unconscious Zhao Taiqing and Murong Xiaoyue immediately.

Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan sitting in the corner of the audience also eased slightly upon seeing Ye Chenfeng unharmed.

Inside a VIP room of the Talisman Master Pavilion.

The master-disciple pair Yu Shiqing and Gu Xin’er watched Ye Chenfeng with interest, Yu Shiqing said, "This young one is really fascinating, truly fascinating. Back at the Death Arena, we thought he was doomed, yet he survived strongly."

"Now in the preliminary round of the Celestial Mystic Ceremony, many targeted him, yet he passed smoothly, and those who wanted his life all perished. I always felt this little guy at the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm Sixth Layer was more than meets the eye."

Gu Xin’er said unconvinced, "Master, this guy just had a streak of good luck! He happened to encounter a change in the Hong Tian Realm, and those who died there couldn’t possibly have been killed by him. He just luckily escaped disaster. After all, the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm Sixth Layer is still just the Divinity Transformation Realm in strength. If he enters the finals and faces the five great young masters of the Central Continent, he’ll likely lose immediately."

Yu Shiqing nodded, "Though that’s true, it’s been a long time since any disciples from Profound Continent and Spirit Continent entered the finals of the Central Continent Celestial Mystic Ceremony. Sometimes luck can indeed be a form of strength."

Gu Xin’er glanced at Ye Chenfeng on the square, expressing disinterest, "Master, I currently just wish to quickly meet again the person wearing the black mask who passed the qualification for the Talisman competition. I merely want to challenge that masked person."

Yu Shiqing chuckled and shook his head, "Oh, you! Besides crafting talismans, you don’t seem to care about anything else, but yes, I too am quite interested in the person behind that black mask."

Meanwhile, on the square.

After the inspection by Mu Chengtong and Murong Jiang, they felt that Zhao Taiqing and Murong Xiaoyue weren’t in any life-threatening danger.

However, they couldn’t make them immediately awaken, knowing that forcibly awakening them could damage their foundations, sensing also that some kind of power within them was slowly dissipating, likely leading to their eventual waking.

Mu Yunliang, standing beside Mu Chengtong, promptly asked, "Chenfeng, what exactly happened in the Hong Tian Realm?"

When leaving the Hong Tian Realm, Ye Chenfeng had already coordinated their stories with Yun Yutang and the others. He said, "Significant changes occurred within, making the entire realm very treacherous. We survived by sheer luck. I suspect the emergence of some secret treasure in the Hong Tian Realm."

"Those deceased competitors really risked their lives seeking these treasures. I was quite self-aware. At that level of danger, had I gone treasure hunting, it would’ve meant certain death, so we hid for many days."

The sovereign ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace, Luo Qianjiang, upon hearing of treasures in the Hong Tian Realm, his eyes immediately sparkled, and the other Sect Masters also showed anticipation.

When Luo Qianjiang attempted to sense the Hong Tian Realm again, since the preliminary round was over, it should logically reopen, allowing him to feel its changes.

However.

Luo Qianjiang was destined for disappointment.

As Ye Chenfeng had managed to absorb the ancient Sky Imprisonment Realm into his Dragon Clan Leader’s mark upon leaving, making it impossible for Luo Qianjiang to sense the realm’s presence.

Indeed.

Soon, Luo Qianjiang’s face turned forlorn, exclaiming, "The Hong Tian Realm! Where did it go? How did it suddenly vanish? Impossible!"

Upon Luo Qianjiang speaking out.

The other Sect Masters began sensing the Hong Tian Realm too, yet ultimately couldn’t detect its presence.

Yun Yutang and Ling Wushuang’s group were greatly puzzled, even suspecting the realm’s disappearance was somehow linked to Ye Chenfeng.

Upon failing to sense the Hong Tian Realm.

Members from Xiao Yao Palace, the Jins, and the Heavenly Sword Sect focused entirely on Ye Chenfeng, given he had slain their talented disciples, and now even the realm inexplicably disappeared, shattering their plans to explore its secrets.

Thus, concealed anger erupted at this moment.
