“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan nodded lightly. To him, whether it was Xiao Xian or Wenshan Zhensong, they were merely names.
Perhaps it was simply because he had arrived at Famous Sword City that he felt curious enough to ask a few more questions.
The phrase "invincible among peers" held no weight in front of Ye Fan.
If Ye Fan were at the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm, he could easily annihilate figures like them with just a flick of his finger.
Of course, not everyone could be Ye Fan. In a place like Sword Cloud Star, if what Ximen Piaopiao and Heng Yuzhu said was true, then Xiao Xian and Wenshan Zhensong truly possessed extraordinary combat power among their peers.
Especially for those whose realms were inferior to theirs, they represented an insurmountable mountain.
Thus, Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be dangerous if you were to encounter him? Brother Ximen’s wish to rank high on the Famous Sword Ranking might very well be dashed!”
Although Ximen Piaopiao had considerable combat strength, there was still a two-realm gap. In Ye Fan's view, it was difficult for an average person to overcome such a disparity.
“It’s simple,” Wu Qiuyang replied tersely. “We just withdraw from the battle.”
Heng Yuzhu nodded in agreement. “Indeed. Not to mention encountering someone like Wenshan Zhensong; even if we faced Tang Chuan and other powerful figures at the peak or late stages of the Mystic Immortal Realm, our only option would likely be to withdraw.”
Wu Qiuyang nodded in affirmation.
However, now that they had entered the top hundred, they had little hope for future battles anyway.
Among the top hundred, aside from a few exceptionally talented individuals, most Early Celestial Immortals and mid-stage experts had already been eliminated.
What remained were mostly those at the Profound Immortal Late Stage and peak cultivation levels. It could be said that no matter how they were matched up, they would encounter late-stage and peak experts.
Moreover, it was unlikely that they would be fortunate enough to draw into the same group. Thus, with their cultivation levels, they had no advantage whatsoever.
Yet Ximen Piaopiao seemed unconvinced. “Anything is possible; how can we simply withdraw? Even if we can’t make it into the top ten, we should strive to do our best. Only then can we stand out more and gain greater recognition from the strong members of the Famous Sword Sect.”
"Heng Yuzhu" said, "To knowingly act against what is permissible is the behavior of a fool."
"Wu Qiuyang" frowned slightly, carefully pondering "Ximen Piaopiao's" earlier words. He nodded and remarked, "Upon closer inspection, Piaopiao's words do hold some truth. After all, one must possess both a strong heart and a fearless spirit."
"If the prominent figures of the Famous Sword Sect see us retreating without a fight, even if we manage to join the Famous Sword Sect, we will likely not be valued by those high-ranking individuals."
"Ximen Piaopiao" did not expect that her casual remark would lead "Wu Qiuyang" to such profound reasoning. She promptly patted "Wu Qiuyang's" shoulder and praised, "Autumn Sun, you're clever."
"Heng Yuzhu" raised an eyebrow slightly, as if finding some merit in that statement.
Soon, the Ascension Realm, Celestial Realm, and the top hundred Heavenly Prodigies all drew their groups.
They also learned who their opponents would be.
In a group of ten for battle, "Ximen Piaopiao" drew number two.
In her group were many strong contenders; aside from the lone individual who was also a Mid-Level Celestial Immortal like her, the others were all at the Profound Immortal Late Stage of cultivation. Among them was even a presence at the Transcendent Peak.
At this moment, they all stood in a row. Upon seeing the opponent drawn by "Wu Qiuyang," "Ye Fan" couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "It seems that Ximen Piaopiao's chances of making it to the top ten are bleak."
However, "Ximen Piaopiao" was considered lucky compared to others; even more unfortunate were "Wu Qiuyang" and "Heng Yuzhu."
The two of them had drawn into the same group but unfortunately faced an extremely formidable opponent in "Tang Chuan."
"Tang Chuan," at the peak of Mystic Immortal Realm cultivation.
Although he might be slightly inferior to "Wenshan Zhensong," just looking at his previous dominating style in the Celestial Martial Arena made it clear.
This person was not only powerful but also decisive and ruthless in action.
Drawing him, Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu naturally sensed the impending trouble.
However, there was nothing they could do about it.
Ximen Piaopiao frowned slightly and reminded them, "Although we can't abandon the fight without a struggle, we should still be cautious when we face him later."
"If it really comes to it, we can just stand aside and play it safe, pretending to fight and then conceding."
Clearly, Ximen Piaopiao was also somewhat concerned for Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu's safety.
"Understood." Both Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu nodded lightly in response, a hint of seriousness appearing on their faces.
Soon, everyone else had also completed their groupings.
Wu Mo stepped forward again and looked down at the crowd with a smile. "Since everyone has drawn their opponents, the competition for the top ten will now begin."
"We'll start with the first group. Those in the first group from each realm, please head to the Celestial Martial Platform!"
As Wu Mo's voice fell, ten individuals from the Ascension Realm, Celestial Realm, and Mystic Immortal Realm stepped forward. They exchanged glances before charging toward the Celestial Martial Platform.
The battle erupted instantly, sword energy crisscrossing as Sword Light dazzled.
Although the number of participants was significantly reduced compared to before, the intensity of the battles became even fiercer.
It was evident that everyone was putting forth their full strength to compete for a spot in the top ten, revealing all their hidden cards.
Even if they couldn't secure a place in the top ten, they still aimed to perform better.
On the Celestial Martial Platform, each realm's competition did not take much time; victories were quickly determined, and each realm selected its top contender for the top ten.
Looking at the first contender chosen for the Heavenly Prodigy title, Wu Mo smiled and nodded lightly as he murmured, "Not bad, not bad. All very impressive."
Above the Floating Palace, neither the Jade Spring Sword Immortal nor the Yuan Guang Sword Immortal showed any signs of change on their faces.
Although this round of competition was decent, it did not feature any particularly astonishing individuals.
"We can only look down and see if Tang Chuan or the Young Master of the Wenshan Family, Wenshan Zhensong, can surprise us," said the Yuan Guang Sword Immortal, lightly stroking his beard.
The Jade Spring Sword Immortal nodded, saying nothing more. However, both had already made up their minds to take Wenshan Zhensong or Tang Chuan under their wing.
Moments later, each opponent from the second group rushed toward the Celestial Martial Platform.
Ximen Piaopiao was no exception.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Fan initially did not have high hopes for Ximen Piaopiao.
However, what Ye Fan did not expect was that once Ximen Piaopiao stepped onto the Celestial Martial Platform, he seemed to have taken a miraculous tonic, displaying an overwhelming strength.
The power he unleashed was incomparable to what he had shown before.
"What a kid, hiding his strength so well!" Ye Fan looked at Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu beside him with a hint of disbelief.
Yet, all he saw in Wu Qiuyang's and Heng Yuzhu's eyes was shock as they gazed at the formidable Ximen Piaopiao on the Celestial Martial Platform, exclaiming, "Profound Immortal Late Stage... this..."
The two exchanged glances, clearly unaware of when Ximen Piaopiao had broken through to the Profound Immortal Late Stage.
