A certain alien herdsman who can't accept defeat: QAQ! Isn't Jing Li just a pretty face with no substance? Apart from the Yin-Yang Demon Flame and those insidious and vicious pills, his combat power is trash? He even managed to break through the Yellow Spring Water.

To be honest, even at his peak, he wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand against this murderous maniac, and the same would probably be true for Wolf Slayer. When did strange flames become so common? A single Heavenly Ranking competition has produced four or five strange flames. Mu Feng was almost in tears.

The mysterious demon quickly returned to its seat. On Jing Li's shoulder, two small flames, one black and one white, flickered continuously. He also calmly sat back down in his original position.

Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou congratulated him at the same time, saying, "Congratulations!"

"Nothing?" Although he appeared to have won the battle on the surface, only he and the mysterious demon knew the truth.

Although it's unclear why the mysterious demons wanted to make a deal with him and even voluntarily conceded defeat, the current outcome is very advantageous for the human race.

The mysterious demon clan only made a deal with him, but that doesn't mean he will give up challenging Zhan Changtian or Yu Kou. There's still one last round of competition in the Heavenly Ranking contest.

After the final round of ranking matches, the list of the top one hundred geniuses will be announced, and rewards will be given to them according to their rankings. After that, the Genius Monument will fall silent again, and Genius City will be closed again, hidden in the void, waiting for sixty years to reappear. At that time, the Genius Monument will be a completely different scene.

"You two be careful. I have a feeling he'll target you two in the next round."

"Don't worry!" Zhan Changtian laughed heartily. In a martial arts competition, even if you lose, there's nothing to complain about.

Yu Kou was also beaming: "Whatever moves they come up with, I'll take them all."

Jing Li sighed. He had never witnessed Zhan Changtian's realm of intent, but Yu Kou's Chaotic Domain was certainly no match for the Yellow Springs Water, which was filled with deadly poison and demons. He also wondered if Yu Qing's Heaven-Turning Hand could kill the mysterious demon.

Next, Yu Kou and Zhan Changtian sparred again. Of course, it was a friendly exchange, with both sides learning from each other. After they had learned enough, they ended up in a draw.

Now many onlookers seemed to understand something; so that's how the draw happened. There was definitely something fishy going on. Everyone could understand the situation between Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou, but they didn't want the two strongest human races to fight to the death, both severely injured, so that the alien races or demons could easily reap the benefits.

What about the battle between Zishu and Xiu Qiyu? What was my idol's mindset when he voluntarily surrendered? I feel sorry for him for two seconds. He must have lost to Langsha because he was in a bad mood.

The logic of these brainless fans is utterly absurd. In their minds, even a single unleashing of ten thousand swords by Xiu Qiyu would be enough to defeat Zhan Changtian.

The second round of ranking matches concluded with the end of the battle between Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou. Soon, the battle for the Heavenly Rankings will enter its most crucial and final round of challenges.

Currently, the human race is in an excellent position, something unprecedented in hundreds of years. Many powerful factions have already notified their sect leaders or elders to send people to meet and support the prodigies, lest they be assassinated by demons or other races after the Heavenly Ranking competition. This isn't the first time they've done something like this.

All eyes across the continent were focused on the Prodigy Ranking, where golden names flashed incessantly. The names of those who succeeded in challenges shone brighter, while those who failed dimmed. This brightness, to a certain extent, represented a person's fortune and strength.

Ye Xiruo glanced around and saw that the brightness of Master, Senior Brother, Brother Xiu Qi, Senior Sister Su Sha, Senior Sister Shangguan, and Ye Liusha was all acceptable. Among them, the one who was so bright that it was almost blinding was naturally Master.

The master didn't know what kind of constitution he had, but from the moment the battle in the secret realm began, it was as if he had a cheat code, and everything went incredibly smoothly.

In the challenge, Jing Li defeated Mu Feng and the mysterious demon clan in one fell swoop. In an instant, the cheers for Jing Li were endless, and she seemed to be surpassing Xiu Qiyu. If it weren't for the fact that Jing Li had a particularly bad temper, many people would have been eager to try their luck in Danwang City or participate in the Danwang Palace's assessment to become a member of the Danwang Palace.

Anyone with eyes can see that the Pill King Palace is about to soar to new heights. There are three names on the Prodigy Ranking, two of whom are in the top ten, and all three are ranked high in the top thirty.

However, the true weapon of the Pill King Palace—Ye Xiruo—has not yet grown up. Once Ye Xiruo becomes a Divine Master and reigns supreme, the Pill King Palace will inevitably reach new heights.

Ye Xiruo put down the platter of spirit fruits in her hand and stared intently at the light screen, or rather, at a certain person on the light screen. Her palms were already covered in sweat. It was the last round of the competition, and she was sure nothing would happen.

"The two Supreme Elders also informed the sect to send more people to meet them."

"At the latest, two Supreme Elders will lead a team to escort the Palace Master and the others to leave safely by tomorrow."

"That's good." Ye Xiruo had no idea that she was the most idiot that the alien races and demons wanted most.

"Please be careful, Young Master. We will fight to the death to protect your life."

"Don't worry! I'm not so easily ambushed." Wasn't she supposed to be the darling of heaven? How come everyone else seems to have cheat codes, each one a winner in life?

Compared to the first two rounds of the challenge, the intensity of the third round increased significantly. At this point, it was a battle for luck, rankings, and rewards. Moreover, there were no more battles afterward, so many prodigies let loose and attacked recklessly, even bringing out some of their normally unused trump cards.

Blood was flying everywhere on the arena, making it look like a murder scene.

Those ranked lower wanted to challenge the top contenders, but by the final round, rankings already revealed a lot. So far, only one person had successfully staged a comeback, paying the price of almost having their heart pierced to improve their ranking by three places. The other challengers, while also displaying a variety of amazing moves that dazzled and thrilled the audience, led many to place bets before the battles even began.

It seems that the top ten positions are most likely to change. Shui Wujue was overtaken by Huo Xing and will definitely challenge back. The outcome of this battle is really hard to predict.

Brother Xiu Qi should go back to challenge Mu Feng, and Lang Sha might go back to challenge someone from the top three; it'll just be a big free-for-all. If all else fails, they can just give up the challenge and maintain the status quo.
