Chapter 2029 (Raw 2125): Succeeded in My Mission
At first, the many Heavenly Dragon Palace heaven-cla.s.s core disciples did not dare to believe their eyes.
Only when the white-bearded old man announced that the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s Xiao Chen obtained the first rank did they startle awake. Their long-suppressed emotions burst out in spontaneous cheering.
“Junior Brother Xiao Chen took the first rank!”
“It really is the first rank! The first rank belongs to our Heavenly Dragon Palace! We are not the last!”
The eyes of many Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples turned somewhat moist. The earlier feeling felt too unbearable.
“Don’t cry. Don’t make a joke of yourselves in front of others,” Bai Yunfeng warned softly. However, his eyes had also turned moist at some point in time.
Although it was just the first rank for the first stage, it was a significant achievement in the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s history.
It had been many years since the Heavenly Dragon Palace broke out of the last place. Many of the Heavenly Dragon Palace Elders did not know how long the Heavenly Dragon Palace had been last.
The Heavenly Dragon Palace had suffered much mockery and disdain.
Today, Xiao Chen managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the first rank. How could the Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples not feel excited?
The Silver Dragon Palace heaven-cla.s.s core disciples were stupefied, showing stunned expressions, unwilling to believe.
Although Lord Feng from Ancestor Dragon City already announced the result, the Silver Dragon Palace heaven-cla.s.s core disciples still found it somewhat unacceptable.
The expression of Yuan Tai, who mocked the Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples earlier, was somewhat unsightly. He sneaked a peek at Bai Yunfeng and the others and discovered that they were paying no attention to him at all, their focus purely on Xiao Chen.
Yuan Tai heaved a sigh of relief. If Bai Yunfeng and the others chose this moment to mock the Silver Dragon Palace disciples, it would be a big slap to their faces.
As for getting slapped with Xiao Chen’s obtaining the first rank, Yuan Tai could only endure, unable to lose his temper.
Yuan Tai consoled himself, saying, “It’s fine. It’s fine. This is just the first stage. The second stage is more important. As long as Senior Brother can enter the top three, it will be fine.”
The Silver Dragon Palace heaven-cla.s.s core disciples all cast their gazes on the final bronze door.
They hoped that Yuan Xi would push the door open.
The first rank was Xiao Chen; the second rank was Qin Mu. If the third rank was not Yuan Xi, then the Silver Dragon Palace would rank last in this stage.
However, after waiting for a long time, the last bronze door still did not open.
Yuan Tai and the others showed somewhat unsightly expressions.
“Senior Brother Yuan Tai, the door is opening!” someone cried out as he pointed to the huge formation plate in front.
Yuan Tai rejoiced as he looked over quickly. He saw the ancient, bronze door opening slowly.
Then, the White Dragon Palace’s Ling Xiao walked out with a victorious smile on his fatigued face.
The many Silver Dragon Palace disciples felt like they had plunged into an icy cave.
When Bai Yunfeng saw this scene, he was slightly startled. Then, he laughed softly, “What a surprise! The Silver Dragon Palace failed to get into the top three. However, the people of the Silver Dragon Palace probably do not mind. They did support the rules of this first stage earlier.”
Bai Yunfeng’s voice was not loud, but Yuan Tai and the other Silver Dragon Palace disciples found these words incredibly jarring.
This was especially so since they mocked Bai Yunfeng and the others earlier, when they expressed support for Ancestor Dragon City’s rule.
This time, Yuan Tai received a tight slap to his face. He set this trap and fell into it by himself; he could not rebut at all. He looked extremely unsightly.
The other outer palaces discussed this, as well. For a long time, everyone acknowledged Yuan Xi as the strongest person after Qin Mu. Now, the Silver Dragon Palace ended up in the last rank in the first stage.
“Boom!”
The appearance of Ling Xiao marked the end of the first stage.
The various outer palace disciples who had been sent to attack the strongest disciple of the other outer palaces were sent out. The white-bearded man said, “That’s enough. You all go and rest first. I will announce the rules for the second stage two hours later.”
“The Snake-Tailed Tiger could not stop you, and you even managed to get the first rank. You should celebrate that you did not meet me,” Qin Mu said coldly with a sullen expression as he stalked past Xiao Chen. He left without turning his head back.
Qin Mu felt extremely depressed, extremely aggrieved. Anyone would be upset with this. He had pushed the ancient, bronze door open first and had already been enjoying the cheers of the audience, basking in the victor’s glory.
However, the tables flipped, and he turned into the second-ranked in the blink of an eye. Had his mental state been bad, he would have erupted in rage on the spot.
“Brother Xiao, congratulations on obtaining the first rank,” the Blue Dragon Palace’s Feng Wuheng said softly with a smile and a cupped-fist salute as he walked over.
After the two fought in the hall and decided the victor, Feng Wuheng had decisively withdrawn and stopped fighting. This allowed Xiao Chen to preserve most of his Veritable Essence Energy and Great Dao Energy.
Hence, Xiao Chen could shatter the ancient bronze door open in one strike.
Xiao Chen did not end up like Qin Mu, drained of energy and only able to slowly push the ancient, bronze door open.
“You are too polite.”
