“What was that you said earlier, I wasn’t really paying attention?” Ye Feng asked, puzzled.
“You-!”
“Huff!”
Zhang Yang, already riddled with a splitting headache, suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood upon hearing Ye Feng’s question, fainting on the spot.
Ye Feng: “???”…
Well, that was unexpected. Ye Feng gave an innocent look to the referee, as if to say, ‘I didn’t attack him or even touch him – I only asked a question.’
The referee, caught by Ye Feng’s innocuous gaze, swallowed hard, then raised his right hand.
“Ye Feng, victorious!”
“Wow.”
In that moment, the tranquil atmosphere of the arena trembled, followed by thunderous cheers!
“Ye Feng~Ye Feng~Ye Feng!”
“I knew he could win!” Wang Dong clenched his fist in excitement.
…
“Hahaha!”
“Wenwu, your school really did produce an extraordinary genius!” Zhou Wenlong remarked joyfully.
“Isn’t Ye Feng also a talent from our Jiang City, City Lord?”
The two men exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
“I hereby declare, the winner of the pinnacle championship in the Jiang City area is – Ye Feng!”
…
“Ye Feng, you will accompany me to Hongguang Base City a week from now!”
Zhou Wenlong, his face never devoid of a smile, was addressing Ye Feng. Hongguang Base City was the base city responsible for managing Jiang City and the hundreds of satellite cities around it.
“Good.”
Ye Feng nodded, before saying goodbye to Zhou Wenlong and Gao Wenwu.
Elsewhere, Zhou Wenlong spread the news of Ye Feng securing first place in Jiang City.
A moment later, the news reached Xuanyuan Ji, the City Lord within the main city at Xuanyuan City.
…
In an unknown space, three figures scrutinized the freshly received news.
“He passed the preliminaries?”
“Yes, he did!”
“But his Imperial Beast is a bit weak, an eight-star Titan Giant Ape with only a ninth-level Silver Realm cultivation level.”
“Such a cultivation level is indeed relatively weak, especially as this year’s SS-level talents from the main city are strong. In prior pinnacle championships, they could have even rivalled God-tier geniuses.”
“I’ve heard that too. Those geniuses were annoyed at the suggestion that the pinnacle championship was only held for God-tier geniuses, and vowed to claim this championship for themselves!”
“That would be detrimental to Ye Feng. After all, those geniuses have at least Gold Realm, even Platinum realm in terms of their own strength and the strength of their beasts.”
“My suggestion is to let nature take its course. Even in the past, God-tier geniuses who did not win the pinnacle championship were disposed of in the end, right?”
“Indeed.”
The three figures had a far keener eye than people like Zhou Wenlong. They immediately recognized that the Titan Giant Ape’s blow against the Flame Lion King was not a feat a seven-star Titan Giant Ape could pull off, concluding that it had to be an eight-star variant. However, compared to the super-talented individuals who possess two, even three Imperial Beasts, Ye Feng still seemed immature and would struggle to win the championship this time.
The trio also understood that even if Ye Feng couldn’t win the championship, he would only miss out on an opportunity for accelerated growth. Such opportunities, given his talent, would be abundant in the future.
…
Six days later, Ye Feng appeared on the outskirts of Jiang City.
The cooldown period for Cultivation Reciprocation was over. It was time for the Titan Giant Ape to ascend!
After ten minutes of observation and sensing no unusual movements in his surroundings, Ye Feng summoned the Titan Giant Ape.
“Hmm?”
This time, Ye Feng could clearly sense that the aura of the Titan Giant Ape was a shade stronger than before, and its momentum had also increased.
Infinite Space!
Ye Feng’s eyes lit up. He knew it was due to his talent, Infinite Space. The Imperial Beasts within it could infinitely gain experience while purifying their bodies of impurities, thereby increasing their chances of evolution.
Imperial Beasts that have been injured or have fought can recover faster in the Infinite Space than those in the Beast Taming Space of typical Beast Tamers.
Although the Titan Giant Ape had not grown much stronger, one must remember it had only been a few days, five or six at most.
What if it were two or three weeks, two or three months, two or three years?
Ye Feng didn’t dwell on that thought for now. Instead, he put his hand on the head of the Titan Giant Ape, which had shrunk to his size, and activated his talent.
In an instant, the energy within him quickly drained and was injected into the Titan Giant Ape.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully infusing the Imperial Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, with eighteen days of cultivation, triggering a tenfold critical strike, gaining a hundred and eighty days of Cultivation Reciprocation!]
A tenfold critical hit!
That was five times more than the fivefold critical hit before.
Moreover, before it was at the ninth level of the Black Iron Realm and now at the ninth level of the Bronze realm, which increased the infused cultivation by nine days.
And the previous infusion was with cultivation from the Black Iron Realm, while this time, Ye Feng could infuse cultivation from the Bronze Realm.
There was a loud ‘bang!’ and a wave of air exploded from Ye Feng’s body.
At this moment, Ye Feng clearly felt the bottleneck of the ninth level of the Bronze Realm being forcibly opened by a majestic force!
He found himself in a new world!
“Hum~” Ye Feng was enveloped by a layer of hazy white light, his body’s impurities rapidly purified by it.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Four waves of air, each stronger than the last, spread outwards.
At the same time, Ye Feng felt a qualitative improvement in his body strength, durability, speed, and even his soul.
Furthermore, the restriction on his fourth talent, Holy Domain, had been lifted.
