Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 550 - 545: Melee Begins

"Brother Xiao's disguise technique is indeed superb,"

Ye Feng said with a deadpan smile, but there was an obvious hidden meaning in his tone.

Xiao Rulong coughed twice and grinned, "Brother Ye flatters me too much. It's just passable. In the entire Xuanyuan Nation, if my Xiao Family's disguise technique claims to be second, nobody would dare claim to be the first."

He indeed had a bit of a vengeful mindset, but such a face truly fit the kind that couldn't be singled out even in a crowd of shame.

Although somewhat speechless, Ye Feng had to admit that Xiao Rulong's disguise skills were indeed very strong; even Hong Qingyan, who was closest to him, would probably not recognize him now if she were here.

Chi Jianren couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Ye Feng's face, but he didn't say anything about it.

The three of them had just retreated to a more secluded area to disguise themselves, so no one had discovered their transformation.

Soon, the three returned to the front of the Xuanyuan Hall and quietly waited for an hour to pass.

After a while, an hour had passed, and seven figures flew out of the Xuanyuan Hall again—it was the seven hall masters.

The First Hall Master swept another glance over the crowd, slightly puzzled. Where was that kid Ye Feng?

He quickly caught a whiff of an aura, but he didn't look further in that direction. Instead, he revealed an almost imperceptible smile and said to the crowd, "The selection competition now begins. Please step onto the arena!"

As soon as the First Hall Master finished speaking, numerous figures immediately flew up to the platform.

"Buddhist Sect disciples, gather around me on the platform and stick together!"

At this point, a bronze-skinned young monk flew into the air and shouted forcefully, immediately releasing the aura of a half-step Golden Core!

Ye Feng also noticed this young monk, his gaze slightly intensifying. This young monk gave him a rather impressive sense, his strength was definitely not low!

"That guy is the number seven genius from the genius rankings, Golden Cicada!"

Xiao Rulong said with a grave voice from the side.

Ye Feng had a realization. So this was the Buddhist Sect's Golden Cicada, the seventh existence on the genius rankings. No wonder he felt so powerful.

"Just a defeated foe."

Chi Jianren's voice carried a hint of disdain from the side. He watched the Golden Cicada, who was garnering a lot of attention in mid-air and was slightly irked.

"This guy is just jealous. Our Xiao Family and Chi Family don't have many people; no need to act like the Buddhist Sect does,"

Xiao Rulong directly mocked him from the side with a laugh.

"Hey, you Xiao Chubby!"

Chi Jianren was somewhat exasperated and really wanted to grab Xiao Rulong and give him a good thrashing.

Ye Feng gave a wry smile and ignored the quarreling duo.

Suddenly, several more figures took to the skies.

"Dao Sect disciples, gather around me!"

"Confucian Sect!"

"Flora Sect!"

One by one, the powers had already begun to form alliances. The Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts and the Four Great Ancient Clans of the Hong and Bu Families had started to assemble, including the Utility Pavilion.

Everyone very consciously formed groups and took to the arena, while the remaining loose cultivators had no choice but to go up by themselves.

At this moment, Ye Feng noticed another six figures also stepping onto the arena at the same time!

Ye Feng looked at the six figures, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

It was Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, as well as Shadow and Leng Wuming, along with Hong Gaishi and Cao Tian!

He hadn't expected these six guys to have also received the news about the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm selection and to participate in the selection competition.

Ye Feng had been worried these six didn't know about the selection competition, as they were, like himself, unaware of the existence of the Sound Transmission Jade Tablet.

Perhaps they had each found a city and then learned the news.

After all, there were still quite a few cities in the area of the Death Desert.

What reassured Ye Feng the most, though, was that all six looked unharmed; on the contrary, their auras were even more powerful than before they parted ways. It seemed everyone's fortunes during these short few days were not insignificant.

Ye Feng felt much more at ease and watched as the six also flew onto the arena.

By now, outside the arena, there weren't many figures left—only those Golden Core Realm grandmasters who didn't meet the requirements or people over fifty years of age remained outside.

Bang!

The Golden Light Formation suddenly flickered, and a figure was ejected by the formation—it was a middle-aged man with the strength of the Divine Path Realm, now looking somewhat panicked.

The Seventh Hall Master looked at the middle-aged man and said with a faint smile, "Those who don't meet the requirements shouldn't try to sneak in. The array has the ability to detect strength and innate bone, and if you don't meet the criteria, you can't enter the formation."

The middle-aged man bowed his head in shame and swiftly left the area.

He was actually over fifty years old and had wanted to try for a chance to fix his broken mirror—to break through his current stagnation!

He had been stuck in the Divine Path Realm for far too long!

Unfortunately, there were no loopholes for him to exploit.

Ye Feng easily grasped the middle-aged man's intentions without showing the slightest fluctuation in his eyes. The Outer Battlefield was this cruel—survival of the fittest—where those with higher talent and strength had more opportunities.

"Let's go, no need to wait any longer. Let's jump into the fray on the stage and have some fun with this grand melee!"

Chi Jianren also laughed heartily and was the first to fly up to the stage.

Ye Feng and Xiao Rulong exchanged glances and nodded, following closely behind him as they flew onto the platform.

The three of them were nearly the last to ascend the stage, and just a few breaths after they did, the golden light formation surrounding the stage had already started to light up quickly.

"The selection battle begins now. After half an hour, if there are more than twenty-five people remaining on the stage, the selection battle will be restarted!"

The booming voice of the First Hall Master resounded.

On the vast stage, a chaotic battle was about to erupt!

Everyone understood that within half an hour, only twenty-five could remain on the stage!

Right around Ye Feng and Chi Jianren, numerous brawls had already broken out.

"The weak should just step down obediently!"

A half-step Golden Core expert nearby directly slashed a Peak Martial King expert, sending him flying off the stage.

The Peak Martial King expert's face showed unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do—outmatched in skill, all he could do was be defeated and knocked off the platform.

There was another rule in the selection battle: no killing was allowed!

This was also to protect the talents of the Xuanyuan Nation, as the Xuanyuan Hall would have to deal with people from three other families on the Outer Battlefield. Considering that the Xuanyuan Hall already had limited numbers on the Outer Battlefield, losing a significant number of their talents in a selection battle would be a considerable loss.

However, there were individuals targeted by their sworn enemies, beaten to a pulp before being thrown out of the ring.

Xuanyuan Hall didn't stop this kind of behavior. It would be impossible to prevent injuries from occurring in combat.

At this moment, Ye Feng, Chi Jianren, and Xiao Rulong stood together with battles erupting all around them—shouts and cries of combat filled the air—yet somehow no one approached them.

"Why is no one coming over here?"

Ye Feng was somewhat perplexed. Out of hundreds of people, not one had approached them.

Next to Ye Feng, Chi Jianren was thoroughly enjoying the surrounding battles and even occasionally provided some commentary. Hearing Ye Feng's doubt, he finally turned and said, "Come on, Brother Ye, you don't see who I am? The Sixth ranked powerhouse on the Genius List, how many would dare to challenge me carelessly?"

Chi Jianren grinned with a look of triumph on his face.

Ye Feng was speechless; he found it hard to believe.

Seeing Ye Feng's skeptical look, Chi Jianren immediately shouted at two Divine Path realm experts nearby, "Hey, you two, how about coming over for a fight?"

The two Divine Path realm experts were taken aback and their expressions changed as they saw Chi Jianren and Xiao Rulong.

"A genius from the Chi Family and another from the Xiao Family, we better run!"

One of the Divine Path realm experts immediately pulled his companion away, fleeing as though they had seen a ghost.

Chi Jianren shook his head, his face wearing a look of disappointment. "Boring."

Ye Feng's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this. So, this worked too?

Xiao Rulong then spoke up, "Both of us are somewhat famous in the Xuanyuan Hall, so it's normal that no one is coming for us. Brother Jerk is ranked sixth on the Genius List, and although I'm not on that list, I do have a bit of a reputation."

Xiao Rulong said this with a hint of pride on his face.

"Xiao Chubby actually participated in the martial arts competition too, originally within the top ten ranks, but just barely got knocked out of the top ten by someone from the Vampire Divine Court."

Chi Jianren spoke with a hint of mockery, revealing Xiao Rulong's past embarrassments.

With his dark history unearthed, Xiao Rulong blushed and snorted, "That stinking bat, I will definitely get my revenge!"

Xiao Rulong spoke through gritted teeth, clearly bearing a grudge against the person from the Vampire Divine Court who had defeated him before.

Ye Feng looked surprised. No wonder no one was challenging them. With two individuals capable of being on the Genius List standing together, who would dare to challenge them?

Ye Feng felt a bit helpless, but not being challenged also gave him some peace. His eyes began to scan the stage, looking for something.

Soon, he locked onto a small group of six people!

It was Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian's group!

On Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian's side, six people exhibited their auras, and except for Cao Tian, the rest had already unleashed auras of the Half-Step Golden Core!

A group of five Half-Step Golden Cores!

Barely anyone dared to challenge them directly. Even a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm would be walking into certain death facing so many Half-Step Golden Core experts. No one was foolish enough to provoke them, and as for the Peak Martial King Cao Tian, he was basically ignored by everyone.

Peak Martial King, in this stage, was far too insignificant; practically cannon fodder.

Seeing that Xiao Chuanqi and his group were unchallenged, Ye Feng felt even more at ease. With this lineup, barring unforeseen circumstances, everyone should be able to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, outside the stage, the seven Hall Masters were suspended in the air, watching the arena below. However, they each watched independently or in pairs.

"Quite a number of talents this time, and there are so many at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm."

The First Hall Master said with a slight smile, the Seventh Hall Master by his side.

"Our Utility Pavilion also has quite a few promising talents; those five Half-Step Golden Cores seem to be from our pavilion."

The Seventh Hall Master was watching Xiao Chuanqi's group.

"That must be the group Ye Feng brought in, right? Speaking of which, where is that boy now?"

The Seventh Hall Master was a little puzzled.
