As time passed, the competition for the token among hundreds of young geniuses became more and more intense and crazy. It was common for the geniuses to attack each other and seriously injure others, and it was not uncommon for them to kill people cruelly.

Yun Zheng and his group sat on the bench. After simply bandaging their wounds, they skillfully took out the spiritual fruit and ate it leisurely while looking up at them fighting for the token.

The Fengyun team did not completely lose their vigilance. Yun Zheng and Zhongli Wuyuan set up a defensive barrier around them.

Once someone approaches, the Fengyun team will immediately notice something unusual.

The people outside the secret realm would be worried for the geniuses when they saw them fighting so fiercely for the token, but they would occasionally inadvertently see the eight Fengyun from Qiongtian sitting on a bench in a corner, holding a spiritual fruit in their hands, chatting and laughing.

This scene is very polarizing.

Everyone's mood was extremely complicated.

Moreover, the ranking numbers displayed above the heads of the eight Fengyun people were: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. This made everyone feel even more subtle and bad, because the number of tokens they had was far greater than that of other geniuses, and there was no need to fight for anything...

At this moment, Di Nian, who was sitting in the audience, narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his lips into a lazy and unruly smile.

He knew that Zheng Zheng would win and the Fengyun team would be on the top.

In fact, if those two old men hadn't interfered, the Shouyun and Yaoguang continents would have been completely disgraced by now!

He has no sense of belonging to Shouyun Continent, so whether Shouyun wins or loses has nothing to do with him, as long as his niece wins.

Di Nian's face suddenly darkened. He frowned and looked thoughtfully at the empty seat next to him.

Since Lan'er left that day, she never came back.

He sent Lan'er ten messages, but she only replied to the first two. She had replied that she and Yun Junyue were doing well and that she might not be able to return as planned, and hoped he could convey a message to Zheng Zheng on their behalf.

Di Nian sighed softly. Lan'er has been very independent-minded since she was a child. She would keep all the difficulties she encountered in her heart and rarely discuss with others how to solve them, because she had always carried these things alone.

I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate for Zheng Zheng to have such parents?

As her uncle, he must love her even more and never let her feel sad.

…

Half an hour later.

The secret realm assessment finally ended, and all the young geniuses were forcibly sent out of the secret realm and returned to their original martial arts field.

"hiss……"

There was a constant sound of painful gasps.

Almost all the geniuses had injuries on their bodies, their clothes were stained with blood and torn by cuts from sharp weapons, and they looked extremely disheveled. They had completely lost the high spirits they had before entering the secret realm.

A genius asked eagerly, "The assessment is over! What place did I rank in?"

Almost at the same time, everyone looked up at the crystal screen in the air. They saw the screen flicker, and then the ranking list of the Genius Championship gradually appeared, starting with the 450th place and moving forward to the previous year.

Everyone held their breath and waited.

No. 450, Xu Kuang!

No. 449: Wang Daer.

No.…

18th place, Xu Cheng. 17th place, Feng Yuanqiao. 16th place, Feng Yuanming. 15th place, Gong Liyuan. 14th place, Yuchi Che. 13th place, Fan Yuer. 12th place, Yuwen Zhou. 11th place, Feng Yuanxiao. 10th place, Gong Tianxue. 9th place, Murong Heng.

The top eight spots were unsurprisingly taken by the Fengyun team, from lowest to highest ranking: Yan Chen, Mu Yin, Mo Jing, Nangong Qingqing, Zhongli Wuyuan, Yu Qiu, Feng Xinglan, and Yun Zheng.

The process of the talent chase has ended and the result is a foregone conclusion.

Everyone's faces were grim and gloomy, and they were in a very bad mood.

Because all their rubies are gone!!!

Who the hell knew that a Fengyun team would emerge from Qiongtian and take up all the top eight spots!

One practitioner collapsed, covering his face and crying, "It's over now. The red jade I've worked so hard for half my life is gone."

"Wow, wow, I thought Yuchi Che would definitely make it into the top ten, so I bet all my money and spiritual treasures, even my sword, and ended up losing it all."

An elderly man stroked his beard and said with a calm smile, "Hahaha, I've been telling you not to gamble for a long time, but you just wouldn't listen."

When the practitioners heard this, they suddenly turned to look at him, staring at him with murderous eyes.

The old man sighed slowly, thinking that the young man still had too little experience.

Almost 90% of the practitioners in the audience were wailing in grief.

"My Ruby!"

"How did we lose?!"

"Team Fengyun, I hate you, give me back the Red Jade!"

Some people were so angry that they shouted, "Yuchi Che, Feng Yuanxiao, you're so useless! You couldn't even make the top ten, and you caused us to lose Hongyu! Bah! What genius? You're just exaggerating!"

Most of the geniuses fell silent, wilting and dejected like eggplants hit by frost.

When the Fengyun team heard these words, they frowned slightly.

Mo Jing frowned and asked in confusion, "I'm really confused. It's not Feng Yuanxiao and the others who asked them to place the bet. Why are they scolding Feng Yuanxiao and the others like that?"

Yun Zheng said, "If these people placed bets for us today and we happened to lose, they would definitely scold us."

Mo Jing nodded, not quite understanding.

Yu Qiu's tone was slightly cold. "In the final analysis, these people feel frustrated and uncomfortable when they lose money, but they can't do anything about it, so they can only vent their anger by cursing others. On the contrary, if they win the red jade, not only will they not share it with the geniuses, they won't even thank them..."

Mu Yin said coldly: "They deserve to lose money!"

"That makes sense."

…

At this moment, the bosses on the platform were not in a good mood, as they had also lost tens of billions of red jade. Losing red jade was not embarrassing, but the fact that Qiongtian's Fengyun team had single-handedly defeated Shouyun and Yaoguang Continent was truly humiliating.

Qiongtian really stole the limelight at this year's exchange meeting.

Zong Renwu slowly stood up, first looking at his young disciple standing below, exchanging a smile with her, and then turning to the other leaders, he said, "The top spot in this year's Genius Competition will belong to our Qiongtian."

He added, "Not only that, the top eight will also belong to us, Qiongtian."

All the bosses' faces turned green.

In the previous Genius Competition, Shouyun and Yaoguang Tianjiao occupied the top ten spots. They had indeed ridiculed Qiongtian a lot, and now that they were being ridiculed back, their mood sank to the bottom.

The geniuses sent by the Sky Continent to participate in the exchange meeting clearly have such low cultivation levels...

If it weren't for the Fengyun team that emerged like a dark horse, Qiongtian probably wouldn't have been able to gather enough people to compete in the Genius Championship.
