Chapter 192 – Ye Sheng! Intermediate-Tier Giant?!

In the conference room of the City Lord’s mansion, the Upper Echelon nobles were also stunned!

One by one, they stared at the figure in the white robe on the television screen.

“How could this be?!” The Upper Echelon member who had earlier dismissed the potential of a civilian 4th-turn Giant was now utterly dumbfounded.

The Combat Power Ye Sheng had just displayed was simply unbelievable. A 4th-turn Beginner-Tier Giant had been subdued so effortlessly.

This was a Giant-Level existence forged by a Great Aristocratic Family with immense Resources, yet he had been defeated in less than a single round in Ye Sheng’s hands!

“What level has he actually reached?” After a brief moment of shock, Shangguan Wushang quickly regained his composure, his white brows slightly furrowed as he watched the television screen.

“Intermediate-Tier Giant!” Lan Tingxu spoke up, his eyes shining like a pair of light bulbs!

An unexpected delight!

This was truly an immense, unexpected delight!

The shift in circumstances was as stark as the difference between heaven and earth. One moment, Ghost Mountain City didn’t even have a 4th-turn Giant; the next, not only did one appear, but he was also a rare Intermediate-Tier Giant!

Not only was his political performance now promising, but it was also likely to achieve a stunning Breakthrough! This was like a pie falling from the sky, landing right in his lap.

“Intermediate-Tier Giant?!”

In the conference room, the nobles and Upper Echelon members were shaken!

The Combat Power Ye Sheng had displayed had already given them the answer in their hearts, but they were simply unwilling to admit it!

If Ye Sheng were merely a Beginner-Tier Giant, he couldn’t possibly have dealt with the Wind and Thunder City Giant so effortlessly. His Combat Power must have Promoted to a higher level!

Intermediate-Tier Giant!

But… for a civilian to produce an Intermediate-Tier Giant was like a dream, too unreal to believe.

It must be known that since the founding of Ghost Mountain City, only one Intermediate-Tier Giant had ever been born.

That was one painstakingly cultivated by an Aristocratic Family pouring all their Resources into him.

Unfortunately, luck was not on their side that time… this Intermediate-Tier Giant, nurtured with all their Resources, still failed to reach the final round of the Federation Grand Examination.

This had become a hidden pain in the hearts of Ghost Mountain City’s Aristocratic Families for over a decade.

They had always wanted to cultivate another Intermediate-Tier Giant, but Intermediate-Tier Giants were too difficult to achieve—encountered by chance, not by design, requiring extraordinary talent!

Consider this: even a Beginner-Tier Giant requires the fusion of dozens of Skills to create a ‘Fusion Skill.’ The difficulty for an Intermediate-Tier Giant is at least a hundred times greater.

This is no longer something that can be achieved by piling up Resources; Resources have instead become the Basic requirement—what’s needed is exceptional talent!

Xu Chang smiled, sitting back down in his chair. “That little rascal Xingchen probably already knew, didn’t he?

I always said that kid is clever. He wouldn’t wade into this mess without absolute certainty of victory. So, he invited a true deity back.”

…

On the battlefield, Lei Meng’s expression changed drastically. “He’s this strong?” The Wind and Thunder City Giant had been subdued in an instant, held in Ye Sheng’s hand like a toy. This sent a surge of Cold Qi rushing straight to the top of his head.

“Escape!” Immediately, Lei Meng acted with extreme decisiveness. He had already pushed things to the extreme; the people of Ghost Mountain City would not let him go. With the Wind and Thunder City Giant no longer as his support, what was he waiting for if not to flee now?

He needed to escape and blend into the third round.

“Ye Sheng!” Jiang Hao, Han Liang, and the others, who had long harbored deep hatred for Lei Meng, saw him trying to flee and couldn’t help but shout anxiously.

Ye Sheng flicked a small golden sword, which spun in the air like a sharp arrow, chasing after Raymond.

The small golden sword contained the power of a High-Tier Giant, its energy resonance method was extremely profound, and its speed was incredibly fast despite its immense power.

With Raymond’s High-Tier Super-Limit strength, no matter how fast he was, he could not escape an attack of this level.

The small golden sword caught up almost effortlessly.

With a thunderous boom, Raymond screamed as his legs exploded, suffering severe injuries. He plummeted from the sky.

After striking with the sword, Ye Sheng paid no further attention, leaving others to handle the aftermath.

In just a moment, a figure returned.

It was Shangguan Jianyun, his face filled with Baleful Aura, dragging the still-alive Raymond back.

“Shangguan Jianyun, what are you doing? We both belong to Great Aristocratic Families,” Raymond panicked, held in Shangguan Jianyun’s grip like a dead dog.

Shangguan Jianyun snorted coldly, “Even Great Aristocratic Families have their limits! Even Uncle Lei would likely forgive me and support me in cleaning up the family.”

With that, he kicked Raymond, who was now only half a body, sending him flying toward the group of Ghost Mountain City examinees.

The meaning was clear—to let the Ghost Mountain City examinees vent their anger.

Raymond was now completely crippled and posed no threat.

Sure enough, as Raymond landed among the Ghost Mountain City examinees, he was immediately targeted by their green-eyed gazes.

Soon, agonizing screams echoed.

Xu Xingchen watched the scene, glanced at Shangguan Jianyun, and chuckled, “Clever guy!”

Shangguan Jianyun’s move was not without purpose; it was a way to ease the tension between the Great Aristocratic Families and the common people.

Raymond had gone too far this time, and if the pent-up emotions were not released, Ghost Mountain City would face unrest.

Now, throwing Raymond out for the Ghost Mountain City examinees to vent their anger also allowed everyone watching on television to do the same.

This was a live broadcast, and everyone would witness this scene.

With an outlet for their emotions, the accumulated tension naturally subsided significantly, solving a major problem for the upper echelons of Ghost Mountain City.

And all of this required sacrificing only Raymond! What a bargain!

“This kid would be a waste if he didn’t become a City Lord in the future…” Xu Xingchen remarked.

“What about you, Young Master?” the twelve Prodigies of the Xu Family asked curiously.

“Me?” Xu Xingchen grinned. “At worst, I’ll be an Inspector, or even enter the Federal Council as a Councilor.”

Gu Yuexian rolled her eyes at him. How bold of him to think so—Councilors weren’t just anyone could become. That was the power center of the entire Federation.

…

High in the sky, Ye Sheng shattered the Giant from Wind Thunder City in his hand, turning him into a streak of blood-red light and eliminating him.

This scene left the remaining hundred thousand examinees from Wind Thunder City pale-faced, knowing they were next.

Many also wondered how Ye Sheng would deal with these people.

Especially the few remaining thousand examinees from Ghost Mountain City, who glared at the Wind Thunder City examinees with fiery eyes.

None of them were innocent; they had forced others to their deaths without mercy, to the point where even their opponents couldn’t stand it.

Dong!

A Golden Divine Bell appeared between heaven and earth.

The Golden Divine Bell loomed like a mountain, continuously expanding. Once it appeared, it inverted and descended, pressing down upon over a hundred thousand examinees in Fenglei City, trapping them within its bell-shaped body.

“What is this?!”

Many were curious.

Even Xu Xingchen widened his eyes in astonishment. He had witnessed Ye Sheng wield this Golden Divine Bell before, but he never imagined it could grow to such an immense size!

The Golden Divine Bell stood like a towering peak. At its summit, Ye Sheng, clad in white robes, took a step forward and stomped down upon the bell’s surface.
