When Qin Feng was recruited by four Emperor Realm experts at the top of the Tower of Prodigies, a similar commotion occurred outside the Tower of Prodigies.

When Qin Feng stepped onto the 37th floor, all the floors of the Heavenly Pride Tower lit up.

The stone tablet inscribed with the list of prodigies emitted a dazzling beam of light, shining on the Tower of Prodigies.

Qin Feng's name was enlarged and prominently displayed in the center of the Tianjiao Tower.

It also included a line of text: First place, Qin Feng, took one day and six hours to complete all levels.

The series of changes in Tianjiao City shocked everyone in Tianjiao Tower.

The crowd at the scene was like a boiling pot, extremely noisy.

Meanwhile, news of Qin Feng's success in clearing the level and reaching the top of the Tower of Pride spread rapidly.

Excited screams, shouts, strange cries, and incredulous doubts filled the air.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Has Qin Feng reached the summit?"

"Is this a complete playthrough? Oh my god!"

Shen Mengying unconsciously swallowed, feeling as if she were dreaming, and stared at Shen Qianjun in a daze.

"Grandpa, is this true?"

Shen Qianjun was no better off than Shen Mengying at this moment. He stood there frozen, staring dumbfounded at the lit-up floors of the Tianjiao Tower and Qin Feng's prominent name.

"It should be true. The commotion is so big. I've never seen or heard of anything like it before. Qin Feng is a real lad, haha."

Then Shen Qianjun's gaze lingered on Shen Mengying, nodding occasionally.

Shen Mengying was bewildered by his actions. "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Shen Qianjun chuckled and said, "Tell me, if I were to ask you, is there any possibility between you and Qin Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengying blushed and said shyly, "Grandpa, please don't play matchmaker. We are just ordinary friends. Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi are already engaged."

Shen Qianjun didn't take it seriously. "Hehe, it's nothing. Qin Feng is so outstanding, who knows what the future holds?"

Shen Mengying turned her head away and ignored him; no one knew what she was thinking.

Feng Ji gritted his teeth in hatred, staring at the Heavenly Pride Tower with bloodshot eyes, and immediately sent the message back to Jiang Yan, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect.

Bai Yanbing, Xiong Fei, and Ye Jing maintained a calm expression, but their hearts were also in turmoil. They thought to themselves, "Wow, what a guy!" and each of them sent the message back to their sect.

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators present, Sun Fan of the Heavenly Sword Sect was probably the happiest. He couldn't hide his smile, and if he weren't mindful of others' feelings, he would have burst out laughing.

However, he immediately realized that this matter was too big and that he needed to inform their sect leader.

Zhang Kaicheng was the calmest of them all. He was also surprised, but he was already somewhat prepared for Qin Feng. It was reasonable for this prodigy to do something earth-shattering.

Among his peers, Tang Yan was the most devastated. Qin Feng's victory dealt a severe blow to his pride and confidence, and his murderous intent towards Qin Feng intensified once again.

Tang Yan was unaware of Qin Feng's cultivation level.

The information he received from Tang Qing and Feng Ji indicated that Qin Feng was likely a Golden Core cultivator, at most a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if Qin Feng's success in clearing the level only shows that he has extraordinary talent and great potential, it does not mean that he has profound cultivation and is invincible.

Tang Yan believed that he could easily sever ties with Qin Feng and the others, but given his cautious nature, he would not act alone; he would call upon Feng Ji, or even Jiang Yan.

...

The top floor of Tianjiao Tower.

Xiao Xiong from Zixiao Palace, Tian Wei from Tianqi Gate, Su Yun from Bingyun Immortal Palace, and Qingchen, an old Taoist from Qingyun Sect, who was just joining in the fun.

All four of them looked at Qin Feng expectantly.

Even as powerful emperors, they wouldn't be confident that someone who had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm at the age of eighteen could pass the Heavenly Pride Tower.

The four men's eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

Faced with the offers of four Emperor Realm experts, Qin Feng did not hesitate at all, firmly shaking his head and calmly saying:

"Thank you for your kind words, seniors. I do not wish to join any other faction for the time being."

The old Taoist priest Qingchen was mentally prepared, but Xiao Xiong and the other three were completely dumbfounded.

"What? Qin Feng, what are you saying?"

"Have we been rejected?"

"Holy crap, did I hear that right?"

All three of them looked at Qin Feng with great surprise.

Qin Feng continued firmly, "Seniors, I am not wrong, and you have not misheard me. I do not wish to join your faction."

Xiao Xiong's temper flared up instantly. Even a projection of his divine sense, with its overwhelming and intimidating aura, made Qin Feng retreat repeatedly.

"If you say anything else, I'll give you another chance."

The others were certainly unhappy as well. They were all powerful figures at the Emperor Realm, either Palace Masters, Sect Masters, or Palace Lords. Even in the Holy Domain, they were figures of immense power.

They swallowed their pride to recruit talented people, only to be rejected by a boy from a poor, remote village. No wonder they were upset.

Despite Xiao Xiong's imposing aura, Qin Feng remained calm and did not change his tune.

He repeated himself slowly and firmly, "I do not want to join any of your factions."

Qin Feng had already made up his mind, and no one could force him to do so unless he was willing himself.

If these people really don't know what's good for them, then he wouldn't mind using his trump card once. So what if they're at the Emperor Realm? He can wipe them out with a flick of his wrist.

Xiao Xiong wanted to once again exert his pressure on Qin Feng, but was stopped by the old Taoist Qingchen.

The old Taoist priest chuckled and joked:

"Xiao Xiong, really! You're a temple master of the Holy Domain, what kind of person are you? Why bother arguing with a little kid? It's his loss if he doesn't agree, what's the rush?"

Tian Wei of Tianqi Sect chuckled and echoed, "Haha, Qingchen, you've got it all figured out. That's right, we're the ones who're captivated."

Su Yun from the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace simply watched quietly without saying a word.
