Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 562 - 557: Stele Ranking

```

In these three days, Ye Feng had already opened up more than fifty apertures on the first day. The pure origin energy allowed him to open apertures extremely quickly; however, his progress clearly slowed down on the second day when he only managed to break through more than thirty, and by the third day, he had only broken through twenty acupoints.

Ye Feng was well aware that the further he went, the more origin energy was needed for each subsequent acupoint. Each new acupoint required twice the energy of the previous one, increasing progressively. Even though his absorption rate wasn't slow, the speed of opening apertures had also become slower and slower.

Nevertheless, Ye Feng was still pleasantly surprised. If he were in the Outer Battlefield, continuously hunting alien beasts and absorbing their beast cores, he might only manage to open a few apertures in ten days. After all, the energy in the beast cores was like a drop in the bucket for him at this stage. He would need to stack up quantities and hunt down several Golden Core Realm alien beasts, extracting their beast cores, just to open a single acupoint.

But where were Golden Core Realm alien beasts that easy to find?

Moreover, even if he killed all the Golden Core Realm alien beasts in the Outer Battlefield, it definitely wouldn't be enough to open up the remaining apertures.

Being able to open up over a hundred apertures in this secret chamber in three days was already a completely unexpected joy.

As for the Spirit Essence Pool?

That had nothing to do with him at all. How could those powers of Spirit Essence possibly compare to the pure origin energy here?

Therefore, he had already put the stele out of his mind. Now, he just wanted to fully focus on absorbing all the origin energy in the secret chamber. That was the real task at hand.

However, what Ye Feng didn't know was that Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and others at the Martial Arts Training Plaza were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They kept trying to contact Ye Feng but still couldn't get a response, and now less than half an hour remained until the end of the third day.

At this moment, figures were continuously flying up in front of the stele, unleashing their strongest strike at it with all their might.

This so-called strongest strike had to be executed without any external assistance, without taking any pill medicines, and without using any weapons, relying solely on one's own cultivation technique strength to attack.

The white-bearded elder's silhouette stood beside the stele, and no one dared to use any external forces. That's because not long ago, a genius from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country sneaked in something like an Explosive Element Pill, then surpassed the forty-odd people in front of him and secured the first-place position.

Just as the Snow Wolf Country's genius was in the throes of ecstasy, the white-bearded elder snorted coldly, "Use of pill medicines to cheat, the score is cleared, prohibited from striking the stele again."

Immediately afterward, the Snow Wolf Country's genius was sent flying backwards from mid-air in front of the stele. When he tried to return to strike the stele again, he found that a protective shield would rise from the stele as soon as he approached it, completely isolating him from the outside!

The genius from the Wizard Alliance was completely dumbfounded and regretted using the pill medicine.

The crowd at the Martial Arts Training Plaza watched him coldly; this was the consequence of not following the rules.

Chi Jark looked contemptuously at the Snow Wolf Country's genius and said with a taunting smile, "Xiao Chubby, isn't that Savis who defeated you before?"

This Savis was the one who had defeated Xiao Chubby during the contest of geniuses on the talent ranking, and he now occupied the tenth spot on that list. Originally, it was Xiao Rulong who was in the tenth place, but he had just been edged out by this guy.

Xiao Rulong looked over disdainfully, his eyes full of contempt, "Just a waste who only knows how to resort to sneaky tactics. Don't mention him to me. Trash."

Xiao Rulong's defeat was utterly because Savis had already concealed in his mouth a drug that could temporarily increase his strength before stepping onto the stage. Furthermore, the enhancement from that drug wasn't very obvious and hard to detect, which allowed him to launch a surprise attack and knock Xiao Rulong off the stage.

In terms of real strength, Savis was no match for him at all.

Chi Jark laughed as well, looking disdainfully at the embarrassed Savis, "I didn't expect that after three years, this guy hasn't made any progress, still using such despicable methods. What trash."

On the side, Xiao Chuan and others were still very anxious, not caring about the situation at the stele. Since Ye Feng had entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, he had disappeared without a trace, and there had been no news of him. This was completely abnormal. If he didn't appear soon, the Spirit Essence Pool would really be gone.

Chi Jark approached the anxious few and took the initiative to say, "You don't need to be too anxious. I think Brother Ye might not have come because he stumbled upon his own opportunity. There might also be undiscovered or hidden things within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."

Chi Jark narrowed his eyes; he had already considered this possibility, which could explain why Ye Feng had not appeared yet.

Moreover, he had been puzzled at the beginning. How could a secret realm with such dense Spirit Essence only contain Spirit Stones and one Spirit Essence Pool?

He was keen to find other things, but it seemed that except for those underground Spirit Stone veins and the stele at the Martial Arts Training Plaza, there really wasn't anything else.

He had once asked the Spirit of the Secret Realm, White Beard, but all he faced was something like a programmed entity that wouldn't answer his questions at all, completely ignoring them.

Although he suspected there might be some trick, he couldn't find it and felt powerless. But now, with Ye Feng being unreachable, it was possible that he had good luck and found some hidden reward in the secret realm.

Xiao Chuan was taken aback, not very familiar with the Outer Battlefield and these secret realms, and couldn't help asking, "Are there hidden rewards in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?"

Sima Zhan Tian and Shadow were also curious and looked over. They wanted to know too.

```

Xiao Rulong pondered and said, "From what we know of the information available, for hundreds of years there hasn't been any talk of other hidden rewards within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, but it's not certain. What is certain though, is that Brother Ye's safety shouldn't be a concern."

"The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm can be said to be the safest place in the Outer Battlefield. Here, killing is not allowed, nor is there any danger, so all of you needn't worry too much. Brother Ye is a lucky man, and it's highly likely that he will encounter no problems. Perhaps by the time we leave the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, we'll see him."

Xiao Rulong offered these words of comfort, actually speaking the truth without deceiving Xiao Chuanqi and the others.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian exchanged glances and could only relax, trying not to think too much and instead focusing their attention on the stele.

At this moment, the stele already had over sixty names inscribed on it, all arranged according to their strength. The current first place was a member of the Vampire Divine Court, a vampire duke named Nick.

Chi Jianren's face showed a hint of seriousness. He had seen Nick, the vampire duke, take action just before, and indeed, his might was enormous. Moreover, this Nick was also ranked fifth on the genius list!

Chi Jianren had been defeated by this Nick before.

As for the top four on the genius list, none had come to the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, for they were all grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm.

The second place was held by a young man from the Yin-Yang Temple, whose strongest strike was unleashed by summoning three Shikigami and was similarly placed second in strength by the stele.

Third was Golden Cicada of the Buddhist Sect, followed by two more from the Vampire Divine Court.

To everyone's surprise, the sixth place was unexpectedly occupied by Hong Gaishi of the Hong Family.

Leng Wuming furrowed his brows and said, "I did not expect Hong Gaishi of the Hong Family to reach the sixth position!"

After all, the Hong Family was their adversary; they naturally did not want to see Hong Gaishi making it into the top ten and entering the Spirit Essence Pool.

"Bu Yuntian is going up now!"

Xiao Chuanqi suddenly said.

Bu Tianyun, clad in white, had already flown to the front of the stele, releasing a formidable aura.

"Heavenly Cloud Wind Repelling Divine Palm!"

Bu Tianyun gathered the Spirit Essence from his entire body, and a gargantuan Spirit Essence palm slammed fiercely toward the stele.

Chi Jianren's expression shifted slightly, smirking with interest, "This time it's a bit stronger than the previous one during the selection contest. It seems this young man from the Bu Family has been working on improving his strength these past few days instead of mining Spirit Stones."

Not just Bu Tianyun, including himself, had actually been working on improving their own strength during these three days. As for Spirit Stones, he hadn't harvested many, just some, as the Chi Family, being an ancient clan, had a considerable reserve of Spirit Stones anyway.

At this moment, the veins on Bu Tianyun's forehead were bulging as he launched his full strength into the palm strike.

Just as Chi Jianren said, he hadn't spent any time mining Spirit Stones in the last three days. Such tasks could be left to another person of the Bu Family; he had used the time to maximize his cultivation level for a shot at the Spirit Essence Pool's qualification.

Remembering Ye Feng, who had humiliated him on the selection contest stage, Bu Tianyun's anger surged, and the power of his palm strike increased even further.

Boom!

The mighty palm landed on the stele, which remained motionless and unmarked.

After delivering his palm strike, Bu Tianyun projected his name in the air, and the stele's rankings began to shift.

Bu Tianyun's name shot up from the bottom, swiftly climbing into the top ten and leaping up within that range until it settled firmly in the sixth place, pushing the previously sixth-ranked Hong Gaishi to seventh.

Bu Tianyun showed a trace of delight in his eyes at seeing this ranking. The sixth position should give him a chance to enter the Spirit Essence Pool.

Bu Tianyun let out a sigh of relief as he descended from the air.

Bu Tianyun was pleased, but among the crowd, Hong Gaishi's face darkened, his expression ugly as if he had eaten fly dung, especially troubled seeing Bu Tianyun's name above his own; they were both young talents of their generation, and neither was willing to concede to the other, making it hard for him to accept being overtaken by Bu Tianyun.

Chi Jianren chuckled at this scene, and the voice of Xiao Rulong reached his ears, "It's time for you to go up, or you'll run out of time."

Upon hearing this, Chi Jianren nodded and hurtled toward the stele like a cannonball.
