"Look, someone's here." One of the sharp-eyed people saw a man on the banks of the Heavenspan River. His face was deathly pale, and there was an exaggerated wound on his chest. He was struggling to support himself on the ground, and his eyes were filled with terror.
"Brother, how did you lose?
Only one person remained? "someone shouted.
The heavily injured man spat out a mouthful of blood and sat on the ground in a sorry state. He smiled bitterly. "I'll let you face Faceless. Why don't you try?"
"Faceless?" Someone was confused.
Another person beside him cried out, "Faceless?
The seventy-second Faceless on the Top 100 Rankings? "
The heavily injured man nodded and then looked up at the screen.
Coincidentally, the remaining person on the screen looked up, revealing a horrifically ugly face that scared many people.
This person's facial features were flat, and he looked extremely ugly. He held a two-meter-long black blade in his hand that fell into the river. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to see it.
"It's him! That's right, it's Faceless, seventy-second on the Top 100 Rankings. He's the one with the mask." Someone recognized him.
Instantly, countless gazes were drawn over. Qin Chen was seventy-second on the Top 100 Rankings, and the strongest person to have appeared so far was only ranked eighty-eighth. There was a difference of more than ten places, and no one had expected such a powerhouse to appear.
In the upper levels of the Sea King's Dome, Hai Qiqi covered her mouth in shock. "How can there be such a person? He's too scary."
Behind her, the four maids were pale. "Sister Qi, we can't let him pull out the Sea King's Trident. Otherwise, his life will be ruined."
"That's right, Sister Qi. Hurry up and think of something. He's the only one on the northern Skyfall Cascade, so he'll definitely pass through. We're doomed."
Hai Qiqi shouted exaggeratedly, "Nonsense, of course we have to think of something. I, Hai Qiqi, am as beautiful as a flower, so how could I possibly marry a big flat cake? It's obvious that he's been punished by the heavens, and there's something wrong with his character."
The maids were speechless. Just because he was ugly did not mean that there was something wrong with his character!
Faceless' appearance did not surprise Hai Dashao, as he had long since known that no one could hide from him. However, he was not worried, as even if Faceless pulled out the Sea King's Trident, Hai Qiqi could choose not to accept it. This was the Sea King's Dome, and pulling out the trident was just a qualification. It did not guarantee that one would become the Sea King's son-in-law.
Starsibyl stared at Faceless, a trace of doubt and conjecture in the depths of her eyes.
The hidden experts of the Sea King's son-in-law selection were gradually being exposed. It was not just Faceless, but also Qin Chen, who had attracted the most attention in the northwestern Skyfall Cascade. The moment Faceless was exposed, Qin Chen had also encountered a powerful enemy.
A section of the Heavenly Stream was frozen by ice that resembled flames. White mist rose from it. Parts of the river surged past, while other parts were frozen, causing the layer of ice to grow higher and higher.
Beneath the layer of ice was a young man with an indifferent expression. He held a silvery-white spear in his hand, and the body of the spear was engraved with the image of a five-ringed plum blossom. If Lu Yin had seen this, he would have definitely remembered it. During the war with Firesmelt Planet, an Explorer named Yan Yan had sealed himself in ice after Firesmelt Planet had been destroyed. Xueshan Auna had recognized him as someone from the Royal Frost Continent, as the symbol of the Royal Frost Continent was the five-ringed plum blossom.
The Royal Frost Continent was a hidden power within the Blazing Mist Flowzone, and it was located in a hidden space just like the Shenwu Continent. The only difference was that the Royal Frost Continent's power was comparable to the Blaze Realm's, which was why it had not been encircled.
Above the layer of ice was Qin Chen. He was an expert ranked eighty-eighth on the Top 100 Rankings, and at this moment, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
Qin Chen had not expected to meet such a powerful enemy in the Heavenly Stream. This person was very strong.
The indifferent man suddenly thrust his spear forward, piercing through the layer of ice and heading straight for Qin Chen. The spear froze everything in its path, and even the void was frozen. Qin Chen's eyes went wide, and he raised a hand, causing his star energy to form an inescapable net that covered the entire area.
The man's spear pierced through the net, but it only froze a little before it was unable to advance any further. Qin Chen was about to attack when he suddenly sensed something and quickly retreated. A large expanse of fiery ice spread out from where he had been standing.
The indifferent man's spear spun and gradually turned white. This was an extremely cold ice that transformed into the symbol of the five-ringed plum blossom. He tore a small gap in the net and leapt out, thrusting his spear towards Qin Chen once more.
Qin Chen narrowly avoided the attack, but when he saw the river water around him freeze into ice, his gaze turned cold. Star energy erupted from his body, and under the cover of his domain, the ice suddenly cracked apart and transformed into another type of inescapable net that engulfed everything in its path. The indifferent man's spear viciously pierced through the layer of ice, causing it to shatter with a boom.
A powerful shockwave swept out in all directions, bringing with it an extremely cold air that froze the shore. Many of the spectators nearby trembled and hurriedly moved out of the way.
"Qin Chen, someone's already near the top of the Heavenly Stream!" someone shouted. It was obvious that this person was one of Qin Chen's supporters.
Qin Chen looked up. Sure enough, because he had been fighting with the man in front of him, the other two had been running at full speed, and they had almost reached the top.
The indifferent man looked up as well, and then he leapt up and charged forward.
Qin Chen gritted his teeth and followed suit. Now was not the time for them to restrain each other. If they did not deal with the others, then even if the two of them managed to emerge victorious, they would still end up benefiting someone else.
On the southeast side of the Heavenly Stream, Lu Yin had single-handedly defeated two experts while the other two were battling further away. One of them had been defeated, while the other was rushing towards the top ahead of Lu Yin. If nothing unexpected happened, then that person would reach the gate before Lu Yin. However, Lu Yin did not panic, as the gate would not be opened that easily.
As he rushed towards the top, he watched the screen. Faceless had appeared, and Qin Chen had encountered a powerful opponent. Lu Yin had seen all of this. This selection had indeed attracted a group of monsters, and no matter where they went, they would all be top-notch existences.
The Sea King's Dome was very high, and the Heavenly Stream was very long. However, with Lu Yin's group's speed, even if they could not tear through the void and travel through it, they still quickly reached the top.
The gate was right in front of them, and the person who had been one step ahead of Lu Yin had already reached it. He excitedly tried to push it open, but unfortunately, he failed.
Lu Yin was no longer in a hurry, and he slowly walked over to watch that person push the gate open.
Faceless had also reached the gate, and he had one hand pressed against it. No one knew what he was thinking about.
On the northeast side of the Heavenly Stream, Ling Que rushed towards the top. He had been delayed for quite some time, and when he was just halfway up the Sea King's Dome, he glanced to the side and saw two people standing on the shore. It was a man and a woman. He did not recognize the man, but the woman was Starsibyl, whom he had seen before.
Ling Que stopped and looked at the shore. "I never thought that the famous Starsibyl would also be at the Sea King's Dome. Long time no see."
Starsibyl smiled. "Long time no see."
"I wonder what Starsibyl thinks about this selection?
Who do you think will become the Sea King's son-in-law? "
Ling Que asked curiously. He knew more about Starsibyl than the others, as she had visited the Lingling clan more than once. Of course, it was not because of him, but because of someone else.
Because he knew her, he wanted to know more through Starsibyl.
Before Starsibyl could answer, Hai Dashao coldly said, "Scram back to the river."
Starsibyl smiled.
Ling Que's face sank, and he stared at Hai Dashao. "Who do you think you are?
How dare you speak to me like that? "
Hai Dashao narrowed his eyes. "I'll say it again. Scram back to the river, or I'll personally throw you out of the Sea King's Dome."
Ling Que's brows jumped, as he felt a little scared. This person's tone was not simple. Either he was a fool, or he had a great background. Could anyone who could stand next to Starsibyl be a fool?
Of course not, and no ordinary person could reach this position. This person should have some sort of background.
Ling Que snorted. This was the Sea King's Dome, and it was not wise to provoke someone with an unknown background. "I'm not in a good state today, so I won't bicker with you. Starsibyl, let's chat again next time." He then immediately rushed towards the top, as if he was fleeing.
Starsibyl laughed, and her crescent eyes looked at Hai Dashao. "Why are you scaring him? Although his personality is a little strange, he's still quite upright. He's also from the Lingling clan, so he's a good match for Qiqi."
Hai Dashao ignored Starsibyl and looked up at the screen, at Zhang Dingtian. He was very interested in this person, and he also admired him. He liked this person's persistence with his blade, or rather, his persistence with his heart.
Ling Que was very unhappy, as he had been scolded for no reason, but he did not even dare to retort. As the strongest member of the Lingling clan's younger generation, he had never suffered such humiliation before. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame the fact that his cheerleaders were not around. He really was not in a good state.
As he thought about this, he glared at Mu Rong. That bastard was playing tricks behind his back. Mu Rong knew that he could not beat Ling Que, so he was trying to steal Ling Que's girl.
While Ling Que was rushing upwards, a person slowly walked in front of him.
Ling Que frowned. "Scram! A good dog doesn't block the way." He then brushed past that person and continued to rush upwards.
Suddenly, a light flashed in front of him, and there was a thump. Ling Que's entire body had collided with something, and there was a loud thud. He rubbed his head; what was that?
Was there a wall in the river?
He opened his eyes and looked over. What was that?
A … bell?
Who had thrown a bell into the Skyfall Cascade?
Wait a minute! He looked behind him and saw that he had been enveloped by a bell.
"Thunderous Sonic Fist." A low voice rang out in Ling Que's ears, and his pupils shrank. His Que's Mighty Slash appeared, but it did not attack the bell. Instead, it rapidly revolved around his body, almost tearing through the void. The next moment, an earth-shattering explosion erupted, and the sound was like a thunderclap that swept out in all directions. A portion of the Skyfall Cascade's water was swept away by the sound wave, and even the riverbank was destroyed.
Countless people were shaken by this sound, and they all looked over in shock.
Within the bell, Ling Que was bleeding from all of his orifices. His mouth was wide open as he tried to resist the sound wave. Outside his body, his Que's Mighty Slash continued to revolve around him. This was his defensive technique, and he knew that he was in trouble the moment he heard the words "Thunderous Sonic Fist." This time, he had come to the Starfall Sea mainly to challenge Cheng Wu, who was ranked sixty-ninth on the Top 100 Rankings.
Someone had seen Cheng Wu appear in the Starfall Sea, which was why Ling Que had come here. Cheng Wu's famous technique was the Thunderous Sonic Fist.
Ling Que had originally thought that he would only be able to fight Cheng Wu after the Sea King's son-in-law selection, but he had never expected that he would be inexplicably beaten up. Moreover, he had landed within Cheng Wu's innate gift, the bell, which was a sealed space that could amplify sound by several times. This meant that Ling Que had been completely unprepared for Cheng Wu's punch.
Within the bell, the sound wave reverberated, and Ling Que's head almost exploded. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes turned red. He roared and slashed out with his Que's Mighty Slash, but it did not manage to cut through the bell. Behind him, Cheng Wu raised his fist again. "Thunderous Sonic Fist."
"You're not done yet, are you?" Ling Que roared. He then attacked the bottom of his feet without hesitation and fled into the river.
