The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

332. The Scores

Translator: 独步三月

The child’s complexion changed from red to blue to purple, and finally turned black.

Feng Xi couldn’t hear him speaking for a long time, so he sneaked a peek at him, which was exactly caught by the child who was glaring at him. Feng Xi found his look sullener.

“Do you think your little trick can fool me? If you were really afraid that the master of Netherworld would abandon you, you would have been hit by my sorcery and wouldn’t have been able to arrive here safely. Trying to trick me, huh? You have a long way to go! “The child shouted angrily.

Feng Xi did not expect that the boy did not catch the bait and he lost the interest at once. “You kept trying to induce me just to trigger my Evil of Mind. You thought that I was unaware of it, but I am not so stupid as to believe you. Were it not for the words you said, I would not have talked to you.”

“You…” The child blushed. He didn’t expect his intention to be long seen through by Feng Xi.

“You what? You should be glad that I’m in a good mood today. Otherwise, I will not give you an easy time as to the fact that you tried to trigger my Evil of Mind. Don’t think that I’m easy to bully just because I look kind and harmless. I also have a temper!” Feng Xi glared at him.

‘Your temper is never small!’ The boy thought.

But the boy was really stunned. If the person outside knew that he deliberately enticed the young man to produce Evil of Mind, he would definitely find himself in serious trouble.

“Alright, I’m not interested in talking to you any more. How long will it take for them to end?” Feng Xi didn’t want to continue the topic of Evil of Mind with him.

“There are still three hours. During this period, several people have been sent out by me. Up to now, half of them can’t pass. They are all lying on the first floor, and the rest are still in the test. It seems that a few of your companions have passed.” The child was stunned by Feng Xi and reported to him the result.

No wonder he just couldn’t find Feng Ling, Lord Carendra and the others. It turned out that they had been sent out.

However, just as they were talking, a few more people had defeated their Evils of Mind. The child quickly focused his attention on the pool, as he was still responsible for sending out the people who succeeded.

“By the way, the guy ranked the second… has he passed the test?” Feng Xi thought of Black Horse, who he failed to find in the pool too.

The child’s eyes stared at the pool. When he heard Feng Xi’s words, he was stunned, “Second place? That weird guy, oh, he is the first one to defeat Evil of Mind. I have already sent him out.”

Feng Xi caught his expression. “How is he strange?”

“Well, that guy doesn’t seem to be from God and Demon Kingdom, nor from Demon World and Heaven World. If I’m not wrong, he seems to have come from Ocean World. His actual body should be the ocean beast of Ocean World, so are his four companions. Two of them are the giant turtles. However, the psychological quality of the five people who came from the Ocean World seems to be very high. Although it took them a period of time to defeat their Evils of Mind, I think they are very relaxed.”

This was what the child found strange. Generally speaking, if people wanted to defeat their Evils of Mind, unless their spiritual status was very high or their Evils of Mind were weak, they would never be able to relax. However, he knew that the ocean beasts of Ocean World did not pay attention to the refining of the soul. On the contrary, they attached more importance to the physical training.

“They’re actually from Ocean World. What’s their name?” Feng Xi’s eyes lit up.

“That tall one was registered as Liu Ying, but I think he is called Hec’in in the Phantom Realm. His name sounds like he’s from the Hec family, the head of the five great nobles in the Ocean World.” The child frowned. He didn’t have a good impression of the people from Ocean World. The fact that his master sinking into a slumber was partly owing to the Ocean World.

“It turns out to be a guy from Ocean World. No wonder that person looked at me like that. The Ocean World probably have known what happened in the city-defending battle.” Feng Xi finally knew the reason. “Oh yes, is there a rule that people from Ocean World cannot participate in the competition?”

The child shook his head. “No, but this is the first time Ocean World has come to participate in a-hundred-year competition. I wonder if they have any other purpose.”

Feng Xi was chatting with the child, but he didn’t know that the people outside were freaking out.

Time slowly passed and there was less than a quarter of an hour left. Apart from Feng Xi, Lord Canrendra and the other three had already come out. Although it seemed that they could advance to the last round after passing the second one, if Feng Xi could not pass through his Evil of Mind, it would be a big blow to them and it might even affect the competition later.

Besides, what surprised them was that several of the five people in the second place were not bad.

The fastest person in Feng Xi’s team is Feng Ling. His biggest demon was the Black Illusory City, but the Black Illusory City did not exist any longer, which meant he had untied the Evil of Mind dozens of years ago, so the sorcery cast by the tower did not have much effect on him.

However, one member from the team ranking the second was faster than Feng Ling. When Feng Ling came out, the man named Liu Ying was already sitting in the contestant area.

The sand in the sandglass was running. There were a total of 405 contestants in the tower, but only more than 70 people came out. Feng Xi was still not to be seen, which freaked out everyone. Only King of the Netherworld retained his composure.

However, a few people also revealed an unconspicuous sneer, including Di Tianxiang and Liu Ying.

Although Zhan Ling did not reveal it clearly on the face, he was really gloating. As he had come out but Feng Xi did not. In his heart, he already thought that Feng Xi was not as good as him.

Just as the last bit of sand was running off, an angry voice suddenly sounded in the sky. “Bastard, you really took away all the things in the tower. You…you’re not allowed to go! Give my treasure back!”

Then, a person ran out of the gate of the Phantom Tower. It was Feng Xi.

Everyone was stunned, including the old man guarding the gate. Commonly, he contestants couldn’t walk out of the tower on their own and only the spirit of the tower could send them out. They were shocked when they saw someone running out, especially the people from God Demon Tower.

Before everyone could clear their thoughts, a golden hand suddenly appeared above the tower and was reaching towards Feng Xi below.

Feng Xi looked up with a little deceptive smile and quickly ran away. Because the distance between Ring No.1 and the VIP area was very short, he ran directly to King of the Netherworld.

The giant hand was transformed by the child. He knew who was the one that was used to block him by Feng Xi. Even though he was annoyed, he was not angry enough to lose his rationality. When he saw the master of Netherworld, he dared not to be impetuous. The giant hand vanished. However, he was unwilling to give up.

“Spirit of Tower, what exactly happened?” Without asking Feng Xi, the Third Elder directly asked Phantom Tower.

“I… I won’t say it! You ask him.” Phantom Tower fell silent after he finished his words. At the same time, the giant tower shrank and returned to its original delicate appearance. Then, he returned to the hands of the Third Elder. No matter how the Third Elder asked him, he just didn’t speak. Such a humiliating matter… he would never mention it.

The Third Elder looked at Feng Xi awkwardly.

Feng Xi immediately turned away his head and ignored him, but the smile on his face was very bright.

King of the Netherworld looked at the Third Elder and said lightly, “The time is up. The elder can announce the results.”

The Third Elder had been counting on King of the Netherworld to ask, but he didn’t expect King of the Netherworld to just let it pass slightly. He couldn’t question it directly, so he turned to face the crowd and announced loudly, “I announce that the second round of the game is over. Now it’s time to calculate the score!”

In the second round, there were a total of 405 contestants, with 321 being eliminated and only 84 people were qualified. However, although nealy a hundred people succeeded, there were only nine advancing teams. The rest were teams with less than three people passing the game, so they were all eliminated. In spite of that, the harvest was abundant. With this Evil of Mind experience, it would be easier for these people to break through the barrier between Lesser Heaven God and Great Heaven God.

The way to score points in the Evil of Mind Knockout Competition was different from that in the first round. Everyone had a full score of 30. The faster they defeated Evil of Mind, the higher the score. However, the person who was in charge of scoring was not God Demon Tower, but the Spirit of Tower. Because some people were sent out at the same time, only Spirit of Tower knew who was faster.

“Spirit of Tower, let’s start scoring!” The Third Elder said to the Phantom Tower.

“Yes!” Spirit of Tower’s frail voice came from inside, obviously not recovering from the shock.

The scoring started according to the order of the contestants exiting tower. However, Spirit of Tower only calculated the contestants who had advanced to the third round. The first one was Hec’in.

“Liu Ying, 26 points; Feng Ling, 24 points; Lord Carendra, 23 points; Zong Wuqing, 22 points; Liu Lin, 22 points; Liu Ye, 22 points; Mo Feihan, 21 points; Ming Qingyu, 21 points; Zhan Zhen, 21 points; Lorraine, 21 points; Liu Shan, 21 points;… Di Tianxiang, 19 points; Zhan Ling, 19 points…”

Everyone heard Spirit of Tower’s tender and mechanical voice slowly coming out from Phantom Tower. The score of the first several people was quite high and many of them had close scores. However, the strange thing was that the total score was only 30, while the man called Liu Ying got a 26. In that case, the highest score of the second round must be him.

Although Spirit of Tower’s voice was as stiff as a machine, everyone was excited when they were listening to it.

Finally, it was Feng Xi’s turn, the last one. Because he was the last one, everyone thought that his score would be the lowest. In this way, the score gap between first and second place would be completely close, and the first place of the competition would be a suspense.
