Chapter 185 - 183 You are an Ant
The residents of the entire Imperial City were paying close attention to the first phase of the Heavenly Pride Battle. Martial Artists who came to watch would promptly relay updates back, spreading the news through the inns and restaurants within the city.
"Look at that young man, he’s not even on the Hidden Dragon List, yet he has already reached the thirtieth position!"
"Alas, another young talent has just fallen."
Whenever someone collapsed due to being unable to continue, it triggered a wave of sympathy. Meanwhile, an exceptional performance would elicit exclamations of surprise.
This showed just how much the Heavenly Pride Battle captivated people’s attention. Moreover, this session of the battle was extraordinary, with less than ten percent expected to make it to the final stage, truly capturing everyone’s focus.
Numerous young martial artists gritted their teeth, desperately persevering. They might not become one of the Five Young Supremes, but they at least aimed to enter the Imperial Palace, lest they become a laughingstock.
Those who could persist until now were all powerful young martial artists; they all unleashed their full strength, walking laboriously on the White Jade Avenue, their pace growing slower.
Xiao Ye, with a calm expression, steadily advanced, overtaking one opponent after another, gradually nearing the leading young talents.
"Look quickly, the Independent Practitioner Genius Wang Lin has already reached the fiftieth place!"
Xiao Ye’s rapid rise in rank finally caught everyone’s attention.
