Chapter 162 – Boss! Idol!

Ye Sheng left the Nightmare Ghost Realm.

Outside Blood Fiend City, in the endless dark starry expanse, a hunched figure sat cross-legged.

“Saint!” A powerful figure beside the Elder bowed. The Reincarnation Sage had just opened his eyes and looked toward a certain area of Blood Fiend City, which inevitably aroused his curiosity.

A faint smile appeared on the Reincarnation Sage’s wrinkled face as he withdrew his gaze from Blood Fiend City and chuckled, “An interesting little fellow! To actually possess the means to create a self-contained space—it seems this generation is truly brimming with talent!”

“The means to create a self-contained space?” The powerful figure nodded upon hearing this.

It was worth noting that many spatial-type Classes couldn’t achieve this. And spatial-type Classes were extremely rare—Fengdu University had even set a precedent for specially recruiting spatial-type Class holders!

…

In Blood Fiend City, flames and ruins reflected each other, making it clear that an unimaginable battle had just taken place here.

Crackle—the fire burned a building, continuously emitting sounds, while the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Countless powerful figures hid in the darkness, watching this area.

They were all waiting!

Ye Sheng and that burly figure had already disappeared for several breaths of time.

Additionally, the woman with the fire-red longbow had already fled upon seeing the unfavorable situation.

With no Giant Level combatants fighting, the place had become extremely quiet. Everyone was waiting, believing that Ye Sheng and the other would reappear—they couldn’t have just vanished into thin air.

On the rooftop of a distant skyscraper, Xu Xingchen paced anxiously back and forth. Ye Sheng had become Ghost Mountain City’s hope for victory in the second round; there couldn’t be the slightest mishap. Yet, disappearing like this made Xu Xingchen somewhat uneasy.

Whoosh!

Amid the fiery ruins, a pitch-black crack split open in space, causing everyone who saw it to stir.

Then, a foot stepped out from within.

“It’s him!”

“That white-robed youth!”

“Strange, why is he the only one appearing? Where did the other 4th Revolution Giant Tier go?”

“Could he have fallen?”

“Was he suppressed and killed by the white-robed youth?! Hiss~!”

Countless figures in the darkness began to murmur, with many gasping in shock, feeling that a 4th Revolution Giant Tier had truly fallen today.

“Ye Sheng!” On the rooftop of the distant skyscraper, Xu Xingchen let out a long sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Sheng appear in his white robes, followed by a look of delight. As long as Ye Sheng was unharmed, his heart was finally at ease.

…

Amid the flames, Ye Sheng hovered in mid-air, turning his head to look around, searching for the figure of the woman with the fire-red longbow.

“Ran away?” Ye Sheng scanned the area and couldn’t help but shake his head. The woman with the fire-red longbow was nowhere to be seen.

“Forget it, the objective has been achieved. It’s time to return. Quickly increasing the Level of my Annihilation-grade Skill is the real priority!” Ye Sheng murmured softly, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding darkness.

He knew countless pairs of eyes were watching him from the darkness, but he paid them no mind—these people posed no threat to him.

Whoosh!

Ye Sheng stepped forward, his figure transforming into a white streak of lightning, vanishing from the spot in an instant. Those around didn’t even have time to see which direction Ye Sheng had gone.

On the rooftop of the skyscraper, Xu Xingchen watched intently, waiting for Ye Sheng to return. He had so many questions to ask.

The emergence of such a great figure from the common folk could be considered a major event that would shake the entire Ghost Mountain City!

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze swept by, and Xu Xingchen’s vision blurred as a figure in white robes appeared before him—who else could it be but Ye Sheng?

“Ye Sheng!”

“No… no, boss!” Seeing Ye Sheng was like seeing an idol for Xu Xingchen, and his excitement was beyond words.

In the common folk, to rely on oneself and rise to such heights—such monstrous talent was indescribable. What else could such a person be if not an idol?

“Let’s go!” Ye Sheng didn’t say much. At this moment, a faint hint of dawn had already appeared on the distant horizon, and daybreak was about to arrive.

But up until now, the two of them were still short on points.

Although Ye Sheng had eliminated a Giant Level opponent, his points were still only 1, and he needed two more. As for Xu Xingchen, he had been following Ye Sheng around without accomplishing anything, and his points remained at zero.

“Alright…” Xu Xingchen had many questions he wanted to ask, but for a moment, he didn’t know where to start.

The two of them took to the skies with Aerial Flight, leaving the rooftop of the building to make up for the remaining points.

…

“It’s over!”

“It seems a 4th Revolution Giant Tier Expert has fallen.”

In the building, Shangguan Ying and over ten others gazed at the distant flames in the darkness.

As the three golden suns disappeared one after another, the area fell into silence. Although that region had quieted down, the hearts of those present were anything but calm.

The battle tonight had left them utterly shocked.

A candidate from Ghost Mountain City sighed, “Only in the Federation Grand Examination can we witness battles of this level. On ordinary days, you wouldn’tt even get the chance to see something like this.”

“Exactly!” another candidate from Ghost Mountain City agreed. “4th Revolution Giant Tier Experts are rare to begin with—just meeting one is difficult, let alone witnessing a fight between such Experts. Some people might never get to see something like this in their entire lives.”

“Haha, this Federation Grand Examination has been worth it!”

“Putting everything else aside, it’s been an eye-opener!”

Over ten people sighed and discussed among themselves.

Shangguan Ying glanced at the faint hint of dawn on the distant horizon and said, “Alright, let’s head back to the basement. Daybreak is almost here.”

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and many breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s go. We were lucky tonight—we managed to get through it.”

The group of over ten headed downstairs, leaving only Shangguan Ying behind. She looked at the nearly brightening sky, a trace of worry flickering in her eyes. “I wonder how Ye Sheng and Xu Xingchen are doing? Especially Ye Sheng—I hope he completed his mission.”

“With Xu Xingchen there, there shouldn’t be any problems.” Shangguan Ying suppressed the faint worry in her eyes and turned to head downstairs.

…

As the dawn of the second day arrived, the entire Blood Fiend City shed its night-time bustle, returning to a state of desolation. Ruins and dust were everywhere, and not a single figure could be seen anywhere.

During the day, the sky began to burn crimson, with molten lava dripping from above, piercing through one dilapidated building after another.

The earth cracked, and crimson lava gushed forth. Thick, pungent black smoke rose like beacon fires throughout Blood Fiend City.

Under such extreme weather, all candidates retreated underground, waiting for night to fall once more.

In one basement, the light was dim.

Over ten people sat cross-legged here, resting quietly. Many dozed off, and even snoring could be heard.

After the tension of the night completely faded, an overwhelming drowsiness immediately set in.

“Ye Sheng and Xu Xingchen still haven’t returned?” Shangguan Ying sat cross-legged, her gaze drifting toward the basement entrance from time to time. It was already dawn, yet the two had yet to return.

After a while, two sets of footsteps echoed outside the basement.

Then, Ye Sheng in his white robe and the short-statured Xu Xingchen walked in.
