Chapter 193 – Don't celebrate too early! Seven high-level giants!

“What are you doing?” Inside the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Bell, over a hundred thousand examinees from Wind Thunder City looked up in horror at the figure in white robes.

They tried to charge out, only to find the golden Divine Bell too sturdy to break.

Hum!

As Ye Sheng took a step forward, the entire Heaven-Suppressing Divine Bell resonated, emitting a deafening toll.

Boom!

The great bell trembled, its toll forming sound waves that instantly blurred the space within the Divine Bell.

In the next moment, without exception, all over a hundred thousand people transformed into streaks of blood-red light and were eliminated.

The scene was utterly shocking—Ye Sheng had single-handedly eliminated over a hundred thousand people in an instant.

For a moment, the streaks of elimination light shot toward the sky like countless crimson meteors.

There were too many crimson meteors, tens of thousands soaring upward together.

This breathtaking spectacle caught the attention of many among the millions in the chaotic battlefield.

“Heavens~!”

“What did he do?”

Some were horrified, their gazes fixed on the white-robed figure atop the golden Divine Bell.

One strike! Just one strike had eliminated tens of thousands of examinees from Wind Thunder City, wiping them all out.

Some feared the ruthlessness of Ye Sheng’s methods, but the remaining tens of thousands of examinees from Ghost Mountain City felt immense satisfaction.

Wind Thunder City had treated them inhumanely, viewing them as slaves and trampling on their dignity. Eliminating them all was the best punishment!

After accomplishing this…

Ye Sheng sat cross-legged in the Void, dispersing the mountain-like Heaven-Suppressing Divine Bell.

Not long ago, the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Bell had successfully advanced to LV4 in the Nightmare Ghost Realm, undergoing a qualitative Metamorphosis.

Not only had its defensive capabilities greatly increased, but it had also gained a new ability…

Sound wave attacks!

Especially when trapping someone inside the bell, the power of the sound waves was immense!

Ye Sheng had tested it on the “Fire-Red Longbow woman” and the “burly figure.” Even though both were 4th Revolution Giant Tier, as long as they were trapped inside the bell, they would be instantly pulverized by the sound waves.

Ye Sheng estimated that the power of the sound waves had reached the “Intermediate-Tier Giant” level!

Moreover, after the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Bell advanced to LV4, its primary ability—defense—caught Ye Sheng’s attention.

Even Ye Sheng’s LV4 Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword couldn’t shatter it!

Undoubtedly, it had also reached the “High-Tier Giant” level!

Thus…

Not only had Ye Sheng achieved High-Tier Giant-level offensive power with the “Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword,” but his defense had also reached the “High-Tier Giant” level with the “Heaven-Suppressing Divine Bell.”

Achieving true integration of offense and defense!

Having both abilities reach the “High-Tier Giant” level was extremely rare even among High-Tier Giants.

Most High-Tier Giants were fortunate to have one ability reach the “High-Tier Giant” level. Achieving integration of offense and defense was too difficult, requiring far more effort than a simple one-plus-one equation.

Only an Aberration like Ye Sheng could accomplish it so effortlessly.

…

In the Void, millions of examinees were still engaged in fierce battles, the situation chaotic! As time passed, the fighting grew increasingly intense, with clashes everywhere, darkening the sky!

Only the area of the Void within dozens of miles around where Ye Sheng sat cross-legged remained eerily silent.

Just now… Ye Sheng’s feat had been witnessed by many nearby.

After effortlessly suppressing a 4th Revolution Beginner-Tier Giant, he had swiftly and decisively suppressed over a hundred thousand examinees from Wind Thunder City single-handedly!

His Combat Power was not hard to deduce—at the very least, he was an Intermediate-Tier Giant!

It’s best to avoid provoking giants of this level.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into a terrifying silence.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The remaining tens of thousands of examinees in Ghost Mountain City silently gathered around Ye Sheng.

Including Shangguan Jianyun, Gu Yuexian, Xu Xingchen… and other High-Tier Super-Limit individuals, they all came to stand by Ye Sheng’s side.

They remained silent. At this moment, the people of Ghost Mountain City undoubtedly regarded Ye Sheng as their pillar, following him wholeheartedly and willingly.

…

In Ghost Mountain City, many people in front of television screens breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s stable now!” In a teahouse, a middle-aged man slumped into his seat. His nerves had been too tense during this period, but with Ye Sheng’s appearance, he finally felt a sense of relief.

“Don’t celebrate too soon!” an Elder shook his head. “The Southeast District is still in fierce combat. Intermediate Tier giants are not invincible; they can still be hunted…”

As he spoke, he looked at the figures engaged in the sky-obscuring battle on the television screen.

On the battlefield of the Southeast District, facing the overwhelming chaos, the mere tens of thousands of examinees from Ghost Mountain City were like a small boat in a raging storm.

If not for Ye Sheng’s presence, they could capsize at any moment!

Shangguan Jianyun stood beside Ye Sheng, explaining the power dynamics of the Southeast District to him.

“Ye Sheng, among the million people in the Southeast District, there are dozens of Intermediate Tier giants!” Shangguan Jianyun watched the swarming figures engaged in combat.

Clashes between alliances occurred every second, with people being eliminated constantly.

Gu Yuexian nodded. “Not to mention the Intermediate Tier giants, there are as many as seven High-Tier Giants!”

Ye Sheng looked up, gazing at the battlefield.

Even without Gu Yuexian mentioning it, he had already noticed the presence of those seven High-Tier Giants.

These seven were too conspicuous!

Stationed in various directions across the Southeast District, each of them was executing a Breathing Technique, their bodies radiating golden light like a rising golden sun, illuminating one side of the battlefield.

Within each golden sun, a trace of eerie red shimmered!

This was the hallmark of a High-Tier Giant—a hint of red within the golden light.

Ye Sheng, also a High-Tier Giant, was very familiar with this.

Additionally, countless Experts gathered around these seven, calmly observing the bloody battles of various alliances.

They sat securely, watching each combatant with a playful gaze, their lips curled into a cold sneer, looking down from above!

With High-Tier Giants holding their ground, no one dared to provoke them.

…

In the conference room of the City Lord’s mansion.

Lan Tingxu stood before a giant screen with a grave expression, watching intently. Behind him were the Upper Echelons and dignitaries of Ghost Mountain City.

“Jian Yun handled this matter quite well this time!” Xu Chang rarely offered praise, and it was directed at the grandson of his old rival, Shangguan Wushang. This showed that Shangguan Jianyun’s handling of the matter was commendable and had earned the recognition of Ghost Mountain City’s Upper Echelons and dignitaries.

Shangguan Wushang raised his white eyebrows slightly, a hint of pride in his expression. “You old devil finally said something decent!”

As everyone discussed, only the old Family Head of the Lei family wore an unpleasant expression.

His Lei family had thoroughly lost face this time.

“Alright, let’s analyze the situation ahead,” Lan Tingxu rubbed his hands together. What concerned him was the outcome of this Federation Grand Examination.

Especially Ye Sheng’s appearance had rekindled his hope for this year’s examination, which he had almost given up on.

Moreover, the fact that Ye Sheng was an Intermediate Tier giant made this all the more significant!

The last time Ghost Mountain City produced an Intermediate Tier powerhouse was over a decade ago, and no outstanding results were achieved back then. This makes Ye Sheng’s emergence now particularly crucial.

If he achieves excellent results, the entire Ghost Mountain City will benefit!

Its reputation will soar!

Upon hearing this, the influential Upper Echelon figures, including Shangguan Wushang and Xu Chang, fell silent.

At this point, it was no longer about distinctions between Great Aristocratic Families and commoners. Everyone shared the same goal: to achieve outstanding results in this Federation Grand Examination.
