59: Why not go

It was the golden Formation operating above Shujian Lake.

It seemed to have exhausted all its power, and in a short time, it exploded.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi dispersed.

The Purple Mansion Cultivators maintaining the Formation also left, one by one.

Evidently, the opening of the Shujian Lake Secret Realm had come to an end.

At the same time, a majestic figure also appeared beside everyone.

It was the King of Wu Zhou. His pair of golden eyes swept over everyone present.

He walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

A moment later, he nodded lightly, a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Not bad, it seems more people survived this time than in the past."

After speaking, he waved his large hand, collecting all the tokens.

Then he began to announce the top 10 names for this time.

First place, Wang Gou: 1153 points.

As soon as the announcement fell, gazes opened one after another, all looking towards Wang Gou's direction.

"1153 points!? Heavens, how did he do it?"

"I killed so many Yao Beasts, but I didn't even get 1/10 of his score."

"People are different, and the Yao Beasts killed are also different. Different Realms give several times more points, so it's normal not to be able to compare."

"What a Prodigy! Looking at his current aura, he's probably close to the Purple Mansion Realm's Seventh Heaven, right?"

Everyone exclaimed in admiration.

Wang Gou, however, remained expressionless.

This was merely a basic operation.

However, mixed in with the admiring glances were also looks of resentment.

Others might not know how 1153 points were achieved.

But this group of people knew very well.

They even had to watch, their eyes red with envy, as Wang Gou killed one Yao Beast after another.

After the King of Wu Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Wang Gou with approval.

Good, neither arrogant nor impatient.

Even though he had already secured first place, there was not a hint of arrogance in him.

If such a Disciple came from their royal family, that would be wonderful.

However, the King of Wu Zhou wasn't particularly angry about this.

Even if this first place wasn't a member of the royal family, it was harmless.

After all, they were all people of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and all considered his subjects.

More or less, there was no need to be petty at this moment.

"Second place, Wang Changfeng, 1120 points."

When this ranking was announced, the crowd was even more shocked.

It was as if a pot had boiled over.

Wang Gou getting first place wasn't too unexpected for everyone.

He was already the strongest Cultivator to enter the Shujian Lake Secret Realm this time.

The surprise was mainly due to the terrifying score he achieved.

Unprecedented, no one had ever achieved such a high score before this time.

Usually, the most was around eight or nine hundred points.

In bad times, 700 points could also top the list.

But this time, it directly reached 1153 points.

The Prodigy was terrifyingly powerful.

However, wasn't Wang Changfeng a bit excessive?

He was only at the Core Formation Realm's Ninth Heaven initially.

He wasn't even at the Purple Mansion Realm.

But now that the results were out, he was actually able to suppress a host of Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators.

Ranking in second place.

It was truly incredible.

Everyone was very curious, how exactly did he do it?

"Could it be that he had been hiding his strength from the beginning? Otherwise, how could he have achieved this level?"

Someone couldn't help but secretly wonder.

To be among the top, there was no doubt that one could only kill Purple Mansion Realm Yao Beasts, which gave higher points.

Otherwise, even if one killed continuously for three months, it would absolutely be impossible to bridge the point gap between Core Formation Realm and Purple Mansion Realm Yao Beasts.

If that were truly the case, then this fellow's combat power was simply too astonishing.

He might be unrivaled among his peers.

Wang Changfeng remained calm at this moment.

Even though astonished gazes fell on him one after another.

But he acted as if nothing was amiss.

He stood there.

The aura emanating from him was as steady as a mountain, yet as sharp as a sword.

He was solitary, yet composed.

Within his body, a terrifying might of a Purple Mansion Realm expert subtly flowed out.

Everyone who witnessed this scene showed apprehension in their eyes.

At the same time, they also understood.

He had actually entered the Purple Mansion Realm?

Although somewhat surprised, it was incredibly reasonable.

1120 points.

Even if he had only killed Core Formation Realm Yao Beasts, it would definitely be enough to Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Even more than just the Purple Mansion Realm's First Heaven.

Someone thought to himself.

However, such a result was somewhat difficult for the Second Prince, Wu Rulong, to accept.

Although he had mentally prepared himself from the beginning that he wouldn't be able to achieve first place.

After all, those two from the Wang family were simply too much of a Prodigy.

He truly hadn't expected.

Now there was another person who could overpower him.

This, where would he put his face?

One must know that Wang Jia's strength was on par with his own.

If her score was even higher than his.

Then the first place of the royal family this time actually only ranked 4th.

This was no different from humiliation.

At least, that's what he thought in his heart.

The King of Wu Zhou, however, didn't care much.

"Fourth place, Wang Jia, 1020 points."

"Fifth place, Wu Rulong, 895."

..."Tenth place, Liu Daohong: 658 points."

"Alright, the above is the top 10 list of the Heaven's Pride Secret Realm. Five individuals will be selected from it to represent the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the Heavenly Pride War."

"If anyone doesn't want to go, the subsequent person will fill the spot; otherwise, the top 5 will be given priority."

"The rest of you, if you have no other business, may return on your own."

As soon as the King of Wu Zhou's voice fell.

Many people's faces showed bitter smiles.

They then left despondently.

Although they had more or less realized from the very beginning that they might not even be able to enter the Heavenly Pride War.

Let alone be noticed by some powerful forces because of the Heavenly Pride War.

But more or less, they could still experience a larger world.

As it turned out, it was exactly as they had thought.

They didn't even get a single spot.

However, there was nothing else they could do but silently leave, unwillingly.

Just at this moment.

Wang Gou walked towards the King of Wu Zhou's direction.

"Your Majesty, I do not intend to participate in this Heavenly Pride War. May I cede this opportunity to a later person?"

The King of Wu Zhou looked at him with some surprise upon hearing this.

The first place isn't participating?

The King of Wu Zhou stroked his beard, then nodded after a long moment.

At the same time, the 6th place Cultivator, who had not yet left, was overjoyed.

He had originally thought he had no chance for 6th place.

He hadn't expected the first place to voluntarily give up.

What greater fortune could there be than this?

Wang Jia, however, frowned slightly.

She walked over and asked softly.

"Why aren't you going?"
