HPDBC Chapter 684 Martial God Hall
Chapter 684 Martial God Hall
"Buzz—"
The transmitted white light completely covered the entire wasteland.
The Martial God Fire Seed Tournament, which was originally supposed to last for more than 200 hours, came to an end in a way that no one expected.
The white light dissipated, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared.
When their vision cleared again, the millions of participants found themselves in a vast, magnificent plaza paved entirely with pure white jade.
This is the Hall of Martial Gods, the final settlement site for all previous Fire Seed Tournaments.
However, this square is not laid out in a straightforward manner, but rather presents a cruel and rigid pyramid-like stepped structure.
The vast area at the very bottom was densely packed with ordinary participants who had received C or D grade ratings.
One level up is Level B, which has only tens of thousands of people, and then there's the even higher Level A platform.
Of course, there were no A-level ratings this year.
Therefore, the A-level platform is empty.
The faces of the founding family heirs standing at the front, including Sun Mingyao, Ying Shilong, and Yun Kongtian, were grim!
In the past, every time the heir of the founding family was born, he was guaranteed at least an S-level rating!
This time, however, they only received a B rating!
It didn't even get an A rating!
They felt they had completely disgraced their family!
Above the A-level platform is a towering S-level platinum platform, where only a handful of people stand.
As for the very top... there is a supreme throne suspended high in the heavens, shrouded in dazzling golden light.
That is an exclusive domain belonging to the SSS level.
"They're out... Is that all?"
"Damn it! I'm still killing monsters! Who forcibly closed the dungeon?!"
A deafening roar, like a tsunami, erupted instantly in the square.
On the B-level platform of the second tier.
Yao Linglong's face was pale as she stared intently at the S-class platform above.
There, Jiang Yao, Ji Luoxin, and Jiang Lingyun stood side by side, their bodies still radiating a divine glow that had not yet dissipated, like three inviolable goddesses.
Then look at that glaring [Rating: B] in front of me.
An unprecedented sense of humiliation, jealousy, and resentment instantly overwhelmed Yao Linglong's rationality.
Why should I?!
Why should those three shameless women be high and mighty while she, Yao Linglong, has to look up at their feet?
"Jiang Yao! Ji Luoxin!!"
Yao Linglong suddenly rushed to the edge of the platform, pointed upwards, and shouted in a sharp and mournful voice:
"You two shameless sluts! You still have the nerve to stand there pretending to be goddesses?!"
The scream was particularly piercing in the quiet upper-level area, instantly attracting the attention of countless princes and prodigies around.
Sun Mingyao, Ying Shilong, and the others were still annoyed that they had only achieved a B-level rank, but upon hearing this, they all perked up their ears.
On the high platform, Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin frowned slightly, coldly looking down at Yao Linglong below.
At this moment, they still harbored a deep sense of shame towards their "master".
But back in reality, with that S-level rating, their inherent arrogance instantly returned.
"Yao Linglong, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yao stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes indifferent as ice. "She got a B-rank because she wasn't strong enough, and now she's throwing a fit and coming here to bite people? Is this the demeanor of the young master of the Yao family?"
"I bite people randomly?!"
Yao Linglong laughed in anger. She looked around at the pointing and whispering gazes directed at her, and shouted:
"Everyone! You've all been fooled! Do you know what shameless things these two high-ranking princes did deep within Zone C for that S-rank rating?!"
"I saw it with my own eyes! To get credit from 777 and to scam a little energy, they actually knelt on the ground, calling 777 'Master'! They even begged him to 'give them a little more'! They've completely disgraced the founding family!!"
boom--!
These words were like a bombshell, exploding instantly.
Sun Mingyao and Ying Shilong's expressions immediately turned ugly!
It should be noted that both the Sun family and the Ying family had the idea of forming marriage alliances with other founding families.
This time, both Sun Mingyao and Ying Shilong secretly regarded Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin as potential targets.
Although they had never revealed it before, the two men's expressions immediately changed when Yao Linglong made it public.
Of course, they were still unwilling to believe it!
The dignified heir of the founding family, a goddess among the newcomers.
How could Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin possibly call another man their master?
Even the most gifted individuals like Sun Mingyao and Ying Shilong have never entertained such a thought!
This is amazing!
"What?! Jiang Yao is calling someone else 'master'?"
"That aloof dragon girl from the Ji family... she's asking for attention? Holy crap, this is too explosive!!"
Countless gazes, filled with inquiry, disdain, and even a hint of lewdness, pierced Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin like needles.
Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin's hearts skipped a beat, and a hint of panic flashed across their faces.
But they are, after all, heirs cultivated by top wealthy families, and their mental fortitude is extremely strong.
At this critical juncture, the slightest hesitation would ruin their reputation!
"shut up!!"
Ji Luoxin's pretty face flushed crimson, her purple-gold dragon eyes filled with killing intent. She took a step forward, and her oppressive aura erupted:
"Yao Linglong! Are you looking for death?!"
"Everyone in this instance is an anonymous avatar, their appearance is masked, and their presence is obscured! What evidence do you have that it's us? Do you have recordings? Do you have any proof?!"
Jiang Yao quickly realized what was happening, sneered, and her eyes were filled with mockery as if she were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities:
"This is utterly ridiculous. We met the legion commander halfway through our journey, gained his favor, and assisted him in suppressing the Evil God King. That's our strength!"
"You can't do it, so you slander us? That's nonsense!"
"I think you're just jealous. You'd even come up with such a despicable rumor to smear us."
Jiang Yao changed the subject:
"Ladies and gentlemen, not only did the young master of the Yao family desert his post, but he is now openly slandering members of other founding families."
"The honor of the founding family must not be smeared!"
"You'll face the Jiang family's punishment soon! With your nonsense, even the Yao family can't protect you!"
"Hmph! The Ji family won't let you get away with this!"
"You...you all..."
Yao Linglong was trembling with anger, pointing at the two people above, but she couldn't say a word.
Public opinion shifted instantly.
"Yeah, Yao Linglong herself is only a B-rank. She's probably just jealous because others got an S-rank."
"Who would believe that? The heirs of the Jiang and Ji families becoming someone else's dogs? Even novelists wouldn't dare to write something like that."
"That Yao Linglong is so despicable, she dares to throw such dirty water..."
Listening to the whispers around her and looking at Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin's arrogant "the innocent are innocent" demeanor on the high platform, Yao Linglong felt a surge of blood rushing to her chest.
However, just as Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had forcibly suppressed the storm with their "prince's authority,"
"Buzz—!!!"
The entire Martial God Hall suddenly trembled violently.
All the noise stopped abruptly in that instant.
In the very center of the square, atop the highest throne that pierced the clouds, a golden pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth crashed down.
That was an overwhelming pressure that transcended everything.
That was the coronation moment for the only SSS-level king.
In the center of that dazzling golden light, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged.
The figure shrouded in mist made everyone present gasp for breath.
777.
He stood at that highest point, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the entire scene, like a god looking down on a group of quarreling ants.
At that moment, Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin on the platform felt their hearts almost stop beating.
Lin Qiye's gaze slowly moved.
Finally, his gaze swept over the S-class platform.
At this moment, Jiang Yao and Ji Luoxin felt the lingering instinct to submit within them, causing their legs to uncontrollably go weak.
