Two hours passed quickly.
As many people were eliminated, the total number of participants was less than fifty, so all remaining contestants advanced to the second level.
After the first round, Yang Feilong's ranking was stably within the top five.
"Is Yang Feilong's cultivation so high?"
"Even a Lord of the late Nascent Soul realm was defeated by him!"
"Not only Yang Feilong, but that Qing Luan, twenty years ago, she wasn't even a Lord during the assessment. Twenty years later, she has secured a spot in the top three! Many have been defeated by her!"
"Most importantly, both of these individuals are from Wanshan County City."
"Wanshan County City's Grand Leader, the Spiritual Ape Lord, is also very strong. Why didn't he come this time? If he had come, Wanshan County would have certainly taken first place!"
"Even without the Spiritual Ape Lord, Wanshan County is already stable in the top three. If Yang Feilong and Qing Luan can continue to the end, they truly have a chance to win first place!"
"......"
The time in the second level was even shorter than the first, only one hour. After one hour, all those who had not been eliminated entered the third level. At this point, only twenty-two people remained who had not been eliminated!
The third level had two restrictions: time was one hour. If, within one hour, only ten people remained, then these ten would directly advance!
If, after one hour, more than ten people remained, then the top ten would advance!
Ultimately, the number of people reached ten first, and only half an hour had passed. These ten people directly arrived at the fourth level.
"The top ten are born!"
The soldiers in the fourth level all had the strength of the peak Nascent Soul realm. Although they were only ordinary peak Nascent Soul realm cultivators, their sheer numbers were overwhelming!
This round also had a time limit of one hour. Similarly, if only five people remained, this round of assessment could end early.
The Seventh Princess's gaze flickered slightly. She understood the situation within the pagoda better than anyone.
With a thought, the ten people who had entered the fourth level were each paired up and appeared in separate areas.
Slaying the soldiers formed by the energy within the pagoda had little intrinsic value; duels between individuals of the same level were more conducive to self-improvement.
"Yes, let them fight in pairs like this!"
"......"
In the fourth level, shortly after Yang Feilong had slain the peak Nascent Soul realm soldiers, he encountered an opponent.
"It's him!" Yang Feilong's eyes flashed. It was Han Tao, the Grand Leader of Lan Qiong County, the Winged Tiger.
Three Lords from Lan Qiong County had participated in this assessment.
One of them, the Cang Ying Lord, was their enemy. However, he had been eliminated by Yang Feilong in the first level!
Lan Qiong County's ranking was also within the top ten. Han Tao's personal ranking was sixth among the top ten!
Yang Feilong's ranking was fourth among the top ten.
The third position was Qing Luan. The top two remained the same as at the beginning, with no changes.
This indicated that the initial rankings, to a certain extent, reflected their respective strengths and methods!
"Human Yang Feilong!" Han Tao, the Grand Leader of Lan Qiong County, the Winged Tiger, also saw Yang Feilong at the same time, his fighting spirit surging. "I didn't expect you to reach the top ten! But now that you've encountered me, you will stop here!"
The next moment, the Winged Tiger Han Tao flew towards Yang Feilong, instantly transforming into his true form.
Buzz!
His wings spread, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, his speed as fast as lightning.
Roar!
His tiger roar shook the heavens and earth.
The sonic attack, mixed with sharp Nascent Soul power, caused Yang Feilong to grip his long sword. The power of his Nascent Soul and soul energy merged into it, and he directly unleashed "Sword Sweeping the World." The sword light was like a rainbow piercing the sun, descending with divine power to tear everything apart!
The Winged Tiger Han Tao let out an angry roar and spat out a long sword from his mouth.
Bang!
With a deafening sound, the sword light shattered. The Winged Tiger Han Tao simultaneously wielded his long sword to attack Yang Feilong while flapping his massive wings!
Hum hum hum!
Wind blades descended, densely packed.
Yang Feilong inverted his long sword, which vibrated, and waves of sword light descended, finally merging into one, like a sea embracing all rivers, repelling the sharp sword.
The second form of "Sword Sweeping the World," "Majesty Shaking All Directions"!
A look of surprise flashed in the Winged Tiger Han Tao's eyes. He was quite startled by the strength Yang Feilong displayed. At this moment, he realized that Yang Feilong's progress to this point was not due to luck but to his formidable and extraordinary strength.
A terrifying collision occurred. In an instant, the two exchanged dozens of blows.
The more they fought, the more startled the Winged Tiger became.
Yang Feilong's shout was like thunder, and his swordplay shifted again, unleashing the third form of "Sword Sweeping the World," "Mountain Collapse and Earth Shatter."
This was also Yang Feilong's trump card!
"Sword Sweeping the World" had a total of four forms. The first was "Rainbow Piercing the Sun," the second was "Majesty Shaking All Directions," the third was the currently unleashed "Mountain Collapse and Earth Shatter," and the fourth was "Sword Sweeping the World."
However, Yang Feilong had only mastered the first three forms so far. He had no clue about the fourth form!
As Yang Feilong unleashed this killing move, it was as if the apocalypse had descended. The Winged Tiger Han Tao's expression changed dramatically, and he quickly used his own killing move to resist.
The Winged Tiger's innate divine ability was similar to Qing Luan's, possessing extraordinary flight talent. However, after unleashing it, he did not gain much advantage because Yang Feilong's movement techniques were too extraordinary!
Could he withstand Yang Feilong's killing move?
He had no confidence in his heart!
But even without confidence, he had to fight with all his might.
"Kill!" The Winged Tiger also roared. He was unwilling to be defeated by a human like Yang Feilong.
Although humans had high intelligence, their bloodline levels were too low. In his opinion, most humans were like ants, and he absolutely could not lose to an ant in his mind!
However, no matter how loud his roar was, it was useless!
He ultimately could not withstand this sword strike and was heavily injured.
Although he was not dead, he was covered in wounds. Then, as Yang Feilong unleashed the killing move "Mountain Collapse and Earth Shatter" again.
He was tragically killed by Yang Feilong.
A figure appeared outside the pagoda, it was the Winged Tiger Han Tao. He looked unharmed now, but his face was somber and unpleasant. He had originally thought that even if he fought Qing Luan, he wouldn't lose, but he never expected to be defeated by Yang Feilong, Qing Luan Alice's subordinate, that human!
This blow was too great for him!
"The Winged Tiger has also been defeated!"
"I truly didn't expect him to be defeated by Yang Feilong as well!"
"This Yang Feilong is truly formidable! His strength is considered powerful even among the Nascent Soul realm!"
"But no matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult for him to enter the top three! Neither the Golden Silk Spider nor the Snow Shadow Demon Wolf are opponents he can contend with. As for Qing Luan, with her extreme speed, although she is currently ranked third, she is more difficult to deal with than the top two!"
"That's true! Let's wait and see who will enter the top three. It will be announced soon!"
As the five duels concluded.
The remaining five people all entered the fifth level.
The next trial only allowed the top three to enter the sixth level. At this point, the remaining five people were all extraordinary, possessing the strength of the peak Nascent Soul realm!
