Chapter 2123 The Yuan Judging Hall! Yuan Mu! (2)
"Well…" Zhulong Shan didn"t know what to say.
"Never underestimate any opponent, especially someone you"ve already lost to," Zhulong Hao warned.
…
On the other side, a figure clad in black armor stood alone outside the crowd, also gazing at the Freshmen Leaderboard. His eyes occasionally scanned through the crowd as if searching for a particular figure.
"That"s Lu Tian!"
"It"s him. I didn"t expect him to come!"
"He"s already at the third place on the Freshmen Leaderboard. Is he trying to challenge the second?
"Lu Tian"s bloodl.u.s.t aura has gotten stronger. I wonder how strong he is."
…
Many people around noticed the figure in black armor. Their eyes filled with surprise, and they couldn"t help but discuss in hushed tones.
At that moment, a commotion stirred within the crowd as people spontaneously moved aside, creating a path. A figure walked through.
"Feng Mo!"
A seemingly indifferent young man appeared before the crowd, and soon, someone recognized him.
"It"s him! Feng Mo joined the Heaven Crane Hall. Rumor has it that he went on a mission with senior students immediately after joining and, upon returning, went straight to the fourth position on the Freshmen Leaderboard!"
"The Heaven Crane Hall is a powerful old force, even stronger than the Qingyan Society. The fact that Feng Mo is valued by the Heaven Crane Hall is surprising!"
"It seems his talent is quite strong, and his strength is extraordinary. The fourth position might not be his limit. This person might also contend for the second place."
…
Feng Mo"s appearance drew the attention of many. Even Lu Tian turned to glance at him.
Their eyes met in mid-air, both gazes firm. Simultaneously, a thought crossed their minds: "This person is a formidable opponent!"
After returning from Scorpion King Star, Feng Mo realized the significant gap between himself and w.a.n.g Teng. Feeling unwilling to accept this reality, he dedicated himself to cultivation. Coupled with the Heaven Crane Hall"s attention and the abundant resources provided, his strength experienced a tremendous boost.
However, upon hearing that w.a.n.g Teng could easily defeat a heaven-stage martial warrior, Feng Mo understood that the gap between them was still considerable. w.a.n.g Teng"s strength must have grown even more significantly!
While Feng Mo had previously fought and defeated a heaven-stage martial warrior, he couldn"t reach the level w.a.n.g Teng had achieved.
He couldn"t help but wonder, how wide was the gap between him and w.a.n.g Teng now?
Feng Mo harbored a strong unwillingness, yet couldn"t help but feel a hint of powerlessness.
That person… was just too strong!
"Hahaha, Feng Mo, long time no see. Since our last encounter, it"s been half a year." At this moment, laughter echoed from a distance.
"Reynolds!" Feng Mo squinted and turned.
A streak of lightning descended from the sky, transforming into a purple-haired figure.
"Have a good fight with me later. I won"t lose to you again." The lightning dissipated around Raynolds as he approached, speaking confidently.
"You are not my match." Feng Mo replied calmly.
"Hmph, you"re too conceited. You"re not the only one who improved tremendously in the past six months. Who wins and who loses is still uncertain. If you underestimate me, you"ll be the one who loses." Raynolds snorted coldly.
"Since you put it that way, I don"t mind letting you see the reality," Feng Mo replied calmly.
"See the reality?" Raynolds sneered and said, "Then let"s wait and see. This time, I not only want to defeat you but also claim the first position on the Freshmen Leaderboard. I will become the strongest in our batch!"
"The first on the Freshmen Leaderboard?" Feng Mo glanced at him, finding this person truly ignorant.
With that person around, who could become the first?
Raynolds felt Feng Mo"s gaze was somewhat strange but couldn"t figure out what it meant. He frowned and asked, "What"s with that look? Are you looking down on me?"
"Idiot!" Feng Mo walked to the side, refusing to pay any attention to him.
Raynolds: …
"Look, that"s Wu Yan, ranked second on the Freshmen Leaderboard!" Suddenly, a cry of astonishment echoed around.
Feng Mo and Raynolds both looked up and saw a s.p.a.cecraft descending. From it emerged a handsome young man with a head of black hair.
Despite his striking appearance, his face was adorned with peculiar patterns, giving off an eerie vibe.
This person was none other than Wu Yan, the genius from the Witch Tower Territorial Domain.
During the journey to the Uncharted, Wu Yan had once tried to persuade w.a.n.g Teng to team up against Zhulong Shan, but w.a.n.g Teng had rejected the proposal.
Unexpectedly, after six months, Wu Yan had silently risen to the second position on the Freshmen Leaderboard.
Wu Yan"s appearance caused quite a stir, and many people glimpsed at him with wary eyes.
Wu Yan was a poison-element martial warrior, cultivating a certain poison-based technique. His various poison techniques were extremely mysterious and formidable. Those who had faced him before had fallen victim to severe poisoning, narrowly escaping death.
It could be stated that poison-element martial warriors were the least welcomed opponents.
Especially powerful poison-element martial warriors like Wu Yan.
Lu Tian looked over too. He had never fought with Wu Yan before but if he wanted to be second, he needed to beat this person.
Wu Yan seemed to have perceived Lu Tian"s gaze and turned to look at him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Feng Mo was also a.s.sessing Wu Yan, his eyes revealing a peculiar expression.
Few knew that Feng Mo was also a poison-element martial warrior.
Seeing Wu Yan, he felt a sense of camaraderie and a rising determination to challenge him.
Even if he couldn"t defeat w.a.n.g Teng, he could defeat this person, right?
At this moment, he only desired to contend for the second position, as the first was something he didn"t dare to think about. However, securing the second position was still within his reach.
Wu Yan was momentarily surprised. s.h.i.+fting his gaze away from Lu Tian, he glimpsed at Feng Mo, squinting his eyes with a hint of interest.
"A poison-element martial warrior?"
His heart couldn"t help but stir as if he had sensed something. A look of genuine interest emerged in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, besides Lu Tian, there was someone else who could pique his interest.
Indeed, as they reached this final moment, all sorts of extraordinary individuals emerged.
Boom!
A peculiar black s.p.a.cecraft swiftly approached from a distance, eventually coming to a gentle stop in the airs.p.a.ce above everyone.
"A universe-level s.p.a.cecraft!"
Everyone glimpsed up in surprise.
Among the new students, a universe-level s.p.a.cecraft was still relatively rare.
Even individuals like Wu Yan and others had only used heaven-
level s.p.a.cecraft.
Yet, a universe-level s.p.a.cecraft suddenly appeared. This was astonis.h.i.+ng.
"The design of this s.p.a.cecraft is quite unique, unlike anything I"ve seen before!"
A glint flashed in Lu Tian"s eyes. The frigid and sharp sense of slaughter emanating from the s.p.a.cecraft intrigued him.
He wanted this s.p.a.cecraft.
Just as people were speculating about the owner of the s.p.a.cecraft, the s.p.a.cecraft"s cabin door opened, and figures floated out, suspending themselves in mid-air.
Before long, more than 300 people gathered in the sky, creating an imposing presence that left everyone astonished.
After these 300 individuals appeared, another figure strolled out from the s.p.a.cecraft, entering everyone"s field of vision.
"w.a.n.g Teng!"
There was an uproar. Everyone glimpsed at the tall and slender figure with different expressions in their eyes.
The appearance of w.a.n.g Teng undoubtedly set the atmosphere ablaze.
w.a.n.g Teng"s reputation was undeniably immense!
All the new students of the Seventh Stellar Academy recognized him.
His strength was widely acknowledged as extremely formidable, and many believed he was the most popular contender for the top spot on the Freshmen Leaderboard.
"w.a.n.g Teng is finally here!"
"Now there"s a good show to watch. That Yuan Mu has been holding onto the top spot on the Freshmen Leaderboard, and no one has ever been able to shake him. I wonder if w.a.n.g Teng can pull him down."
"w.a.n.g Teng has a chance, after all, he was once the top. It"s just that he"s been outside for the past half year and hasn"t competed for the top spot. Otherwise, we wouldn"t be uncertain about who holds the top position."
"Speaking of Yuan Mu, he"s from the Yuan Judging Hall, and his surname is Yuan. Could it be…"
"The Yuan Judging Hall? That"s the most powerful faction in our Seventh Stellar Academy."
"His surname is Yuan, right? If he"s related to that person, w.a.n.g Teng might have some difficulty taking the first spot!"
…
Voices echoed, and everyone discussed whether w.a.n.g Teng could once again secure the top spot and become the strongest of this batch.
Some speculated about the ident.i.ty of the current top-ranked student, Yuan Mu, who remained mysterious, rarely appearing except when seizing the top spot. Consequently, people had no clue about his background.
