Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Ancient Ruined City!

Watching Wei Changkong flee in disarray,

The assembly of Heavenly Prides also regarded Lin Yi with awe.

To defeat Wei Changkong so effortlessly and comfortably made Lin Yi’s name undeniably one of the hottest in the Ancient Secret Realm!

And for Lu Li and her fellow geniuses from the Longshan Empire, their emotions were most complicated at this moment.

Because they had witnessed firsthand how Lin Yi had grown step by step from an equal standing to soaring to such a frightening height!

Now, having defeated Wei Changkong, the overlord of the Northwest Territory, Lin Yi had become one of the top masters in the Ancient Secret Realm!

He had reached an unimaginable level!

They could almost foresee that Lin Yi would stand out in this Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries and become a dazzling star!

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

...

Just then, a melodious bell chime suddenly echoed throughout the Ancient Secret Realm.

The chime had such penetrating power that it almost infiltrated every corner of the realm.

Even within the boundaries of the Northwest Territory, it could be heard clearly, as if the source of the bell was nearby.

"The second round is about to begin!"

Upon hearing the bell, faces like Lu Li’s also showed a hint of excitement.

The highlight of the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries was finally upon them!

"All participants, immediately assemble in the Ancient Ruined City!"

"Those who fail to arrive within seven days will be deemed to have forfeited their chance!"

While all the Heavenly Prides in the realm were attracted by the bell, a powerful voice suddenly rang out by their ears.

Instantly, gazes from all around the secret realm turned towards the direction of the Ancient Ruined City.

The Ancient Ruined City was said to be the only remaining old city in this secret realm, once a city of tremendous splendor during the Ancient Times, a land of great Qi Fortune!

But it had long been abandoned, now repurposed by the Five Great Forces of the Eastern Domain as the venue for the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries’ assessment.

"Let’s go!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi led the group from the Longshan Empire, bolting toward the direction of the Ancient Ruined City!

With his current level of cultivation, passing the second round of the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries was no longer a difficult task!

While Lin Yi and the Longshan Empire cohort made their move, the Heavenly Prides from other empires also set out from all directions, converging on the Ancient Ruined City with the greatest speed!

...

Central region of the Ancient Secret Realm.

A majestic old city stood firmly, and although it was ruined, it still seemed like an aged dragon from the Ancient Times, coiled upon the vast land.

This city was the location for the second round of the Talent Battle.

Ancient Ruined City!

In just a few days, the Ancient Ruined City had already accumulated an astonishing popularity, with geniuses from various empires successively arriving at the city, securing their foothold within its walls.

With each powerful presence entering the city, the atmosphere inside the Ruined City had already heated up!

"There’s the overlord of the Southeast Territory in the Ancient Secret Realm, ’Heartless Spear’ Liu Qianshang, known for his unbeatable spear technique, ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List."

"The Dominator of the Northern Region, ’Traceless Blade Master’ Xue Wuheng! His skill with the blade has cultivated to a state of transformation, ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

"The Dominator of the Southwest Territory, ’Young Master Skyfire’ Chi Xin! Listed fifth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

"..."

Waves of clamorous voices rose and fell, the emergence of each regional overlord undoubtedly caused a great sensation.

These dominators were the world-class prodigies who ranked very high on the Hidden Dragon List. Without a doubt, they would be the main characters of the second round of the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries!

Watching those powerful figures, Lin Yi also nodded slightly. Those who could enter the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List were undoubtedly the most top-tier Heavenly Prides of the Eastern Domain, the strongest in both strength and talent!

They were prodigies among prodigies!

As these young figures arrived one after another, the dominators of the major regions also arrived in this Ancient Secret Realm.

The prodigies inside the Ancient Ruined City made way for these dominators. Having the power to dominate a region within the Ancient Secret Realm, such strength implied that they would definitely be mainstays within the East Domain Five Great Forces in the future!

Each dominator took their prominent seats in the city!

Their eyes were haughty, exuding a terrifying pressure!

However, soon a discordant voice rang out, "All the regional dominators have arrived, but why is the only one from the Northwest Territory not seen?"

"The Dominator of the Northwest Territory, isn’t that ’Little Eagle King’ Wei Changkong? Is there any dispute over this?"

Someone asked in surprise.

At that moment, all eyes focused on Wei Changkong. Though his strength wasn’t that strong compared to the other regional dominators, it was normal for him to dominate the Northwest Territory since he was ranked twelfth on the Hidden Dragon List and the Northwest Territory had the fewest prodigies.

But what confused them was why Wei Changkong, the lad, had not moved from his original place and was hesitant to take his position as a dominator?

Why was this?

Under the gaze of all those eyes, Wei Changkong’s eyes flickered, and his expression turned slightly somber.

Of course, he wanted to take his seat, but the problem was he dared not!

For he already understood that the Dominator of the Northwest Territory was no longer him, it was Lin Yi!

Thus, the seat for the ninth dominator remained empty, no one took the position from beginning to end.

"Lin Yi, that is your dominator throne, why do you not take your seat?"

Lu Li asked somewhat puzzledly from the side.

Now Lin Yi was, without question, the Dominator of the Northwest Territory, and this fame and status came entirely through his own efforts.

"Not interested."

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi just shook his head, appearing nonchalant.

"I know now!"

Just then, Han Cheng suddenly slapped his thigh, looking as if he had seen through Lin Yi’s thoughts, "Big Brother Lin doesn’t want to be too ostentatious! It’s too early to reveal his strength!"

"Rather than showing off and being cool in front of everyone, isn’t it better to hide in the crowd and play Lao Liu?"

"So that’s it."

Only then did Lu Li and the others reveal a look of sudden realization. Hiding in the crowd as Lao Liu was indeed very much in line with Lin Yi’s style!

However, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly; he had no intention of playing Lao Liu—that was entirely Han Cheng’s malicious conjecture!

He simply thought that putting on such an act before the competition started was pointless!

If he was to act, it must be on a grand scale!

Like becoming the champion of the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries!

That was the only goal Lin Yi had in entering the Ancient Secret Realm and participating in this Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries.
