Tang Yi even blocked an Earth Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique? And he sent Bai Ye, the number one genius of the Thirty-Six Cities, flying?
"Tang Yi wins!"
"All five members of Wind Rain City have been defeated. Fengyue City is the victor!"
ROAR!
As the referee announced the results, the audience erupted.
They had won. Their Fengyue City had won!
Thanks to Tang Yi single-handedly turning the tide, Fengyue City had won the competition between the younger generations of the two cities.
Fengyue City had won back its dignity!
"Tang Yi is amazing! WAAAH! I’m so moved! From losing four matches straight to winning five in a row, you did an incredible job!"
"Well done, Tang Yi! You stinking bastards from Wind Rain City, did you see that? This is a genius from our Fengyue City! What are your so-called geniuses even worth?"
"The number one genius of the Thirty-Six Cities? Pah! He’s not even worth a single one of our Tang Yi’s fingers. Congratulations on the victory, Tang Yi!"
"Tang Yi is so incredible. He can even defeat a Nine-star Battle Grandmaster now. Just what level has his strength reached?"
"Tang Yi is so handsome! I’m crazy about you!"
"Tang Yi! Tang Yi! Tang Yi!"
The audience cheered again, shouting Tang Yi’s name at the top of their lungs. The waves of sound grew louder and louder, and every person wore an expression of immense pride.
With Fengyue City having produced such an incredible figure, what more could they ask for?
When Tang Yi became famous all over the world in the future, they could go out and brag, "Hey, pal, you know So-and-So? He came from our Fengyue City."
Talk about bragging rights!
"This is impossible... completely impossible. I must be dreaming."
"Tang Yi beat our Bai Ye? But Bai Ye is a Nine-star Battle Grandmaster!"
"Didn’t Bai Ye just use an Earth Tier Martial Technique? A Nine-star Battle Grandmaster plus an Earth Tier Martial Technique, and he was still no match for Tang Yi? How could Tang Yi possibly be this strong?"
"It looked like Tang Yi defeated Bai Ye so easily... Just what level has his strength reached?"
"Are we from Wind Rain City really inferior to those from Fengyue City?"
"I’m so dejected. We actually lost."
The reactions from the Wind Rain City examinees were the polar opposite of the crowd from Fengyue City. At this moment, they were filled with doubt, shock, and dejection. A myriad of expressions flitted across their faces, making for a complex sight.
Every one of their faces was grim.
"This..."
"Tang Yi won!"
"Our Fengyue City won?"
On the high platform, the upper echelons of Fengyue City’s various Noble Families were also utterly shocked.
"Clan Leader Tang, congratulations! Congratulations to the Tang Family for producing such an incredible genius."
At this moment, some of the higher-ups from the Noble Families came to their senses and flocked to Tang Haotian to offer their congratulations.
By now, everyone knew: the Tang Family was on the rise.
"You are too kind. This is all due to Tang Yi’s own hard work," Tang Haotian said humbly.
But everyone continued to shower Tang Haotian with compliments and praise Tang Yi, making the Clan Leaders of the Yuan, Su, and Fan families burn with jealousy.
In their eyes, this glory should have belonged to their own Clans, but now it had all been snatched away by someone once known as a Big Waste. This left a bitter taste in their mouths.
But at the same time, they had no choice but to admit that the current Tang Yi was extremely formidable.
"Senior Brother Xiao, your Bai Ye is certainly impressive. He even knows an Earth Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique. But, compared to our Tang Yi, he’s still lacking just a tiny bit, wouldn’t you say?"
Meanwhile, after Tang Yi defeated Bai Ye, Wang Zongyao’s face was practically blooming with a smile. He looked at Xiao Bai, his expression incredibly smug.
"Hmph!" Xiao Bai snorted, his expression turning ugly. "Junior Brother Wang, you’re quite the schemer. I’m no match for you! I never expected your Fengyue City to produce such an incredible person, and you kept me completely in the dark. I lost this bet. The Black Silk Treasure Armor is yours."
As he spoke, Xiao Bai took out the Black Silk Treasure Armor and handed it to Wang Zongyao.
A bet was a bet. Although he was reluctant to part with the Treasure Armor, an expert’s pride was more important.
"Well then, thank you, Senior Brother Xiao," Wang Zongyao said with a wide grin as he accepted the Black Silk Treasure Armor.
"Hmph," Xiao Bai grunted again. He was furious about losing the Treasure Armor, but he suddenly thought of something. He turned to Wang Zongyao and asked, "Junior Brother Wang, I have a question. I wonder if you could clarify something for me?"
"What question? Feel free to ask, Senior Brother Xiao."
Wang Zongyao didn’t even lift his head. He kept his eyes on the Black Silk Treasure Armor in his hands, caressing it over and over, clearly infatuated with it.
Xiao Bai shot Wang Zongyao a displeased glance but didn’t say anything, continuing his question. "This Tang Yi... just what Level has he reached? Why can’t I see through his Level?"
"Ah!"
"This..."
Hearing Xiao Bai’s question, Wang Zongyao froze for a moment and quickly looked up.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, Senior Brother Xiao, I’m not sure of Tang Yi’s Level either. I can’t tell what stage his strength has reached. However, I do know that he’s very strong—strong enough to be worthy of my Wang Family’s attention."
Wang Zongyao was actually saying this to deliberately conceal the truth for Tang Yi. After all, Tang Yi had defeated a Battle King. It wouldn’t be wrong to say he was at the Battle King Level.
But Wang Zongyao didn’t want to tell Xiao Bai. ’If Xiao Bai finds out about Tang Yi’s strength and tells the Xiao Family when he gets back, what if they try to poach him?’
’He’s a treasure that our Wang Family discovered.’
So, Wang Zongyao only gave a vague hint and didn’t tell Xiao Bai the whole truth.
"What?" Xiao Bai was startled. ’Worthy of the Wang Family’s attention? That proves Tang Yi’s talent is real, and his strength is truly immense!’
’Otherwise, a clan of the Wang Family’s stature would never casually pay attention to a disciple from a Noble Family in some remote city. There would be no reason to.’
’And Tang Yi can even defeat a Nine-star Battle Grandmaster... Does that mean he’s reached the Battle Spirit Level?’
HISS!
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai drew in a sharp breath.
’How old is Tang Yi? To reach the Battle Spirit Level at his age... his future achievements will be truly limitless...’
’Not even his Xiao Family, not even Xiao Bai himself, had reached the Battle Spirit Level at that age. It was clear just how much of a genius Tang Yi was.’
’No wonder... No wonder Wang Zongyao was so calm from the start. He knew Tang Yi would win all along. That brat!’
Xiao Bai thought angrily.
He felt that Wang Zongyao had set him up.
He had come here to set Wang Zongyao up, but he had been played instead.
The more Xiao Bai thought about it, the angrier he became, and the gaze he directed at Wang Zongyao grew increasingly hostile.
"Er, Senior Brother Xiao, what is it?" Wang Zongyao grew nervous under Xiao Bai’s stare and quickly averted his eyes.
"Hmph."
Xiao Bai gave another cold snort and said no more.
Wang Zongyao knew that, given their relationship, Xiao Bai wasn’t truly angry; he was just putting on a show. Still, having set Xiao Bai up, Wang Zongyao felt a bit awkward. Even the Black Silk Treasure Armor in his hands felt a little hot to the touch.
’It’s not like I wanted to win. You’re the one who came running to give it to me, Senior Brother!’
Wang Zongyao consoled himself with this thought.
And just like that, the guilt he felt for setting up Xiao Bai subsided considerably.
