Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 555 - 550: If You Disagree, Fight
The onlookers grew pale at the sight of Ye Feng's Peak Martial King realm. Could they possibly let Ye Feng fight? It's likely he'd simply eliminate everyone!
Bu Tianyun from the Bu Family, a promising youth with the combat power of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, was defeated in just two or three moves. How could they let a Peak Martial King like him fight their own people from the Divine Path Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm? If this were to happen, none of them would be left standing.
This was absolutely unacceptable!
Hong Gaishi's face turned an ashen shade; the Hong Family's members from the Foundation Establishment Realm were also inside the ring, and he certainly did not want to allow Ye Feng to enter.
"Are you all just going to watch as he takes so many spots for the Northern Border King's side?"
Hong Gaishi was somewhat unwilling to accept this. If you included Cao Tian, the Peak Martial King, then Ye Feng's side would have seven spots for the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. This was already close to one-third of all the spots!!!
"If you're not convinced, we can also fight it out. It's not a problem to take down some of your Half-Step Golden Core combatants in the process," said Xiao Chuanqi, stepping forward and releasing the aura of a Half-Step Golden Core, with his Immortal Sword already in hand.
"That's right, if you're not satisfied, come and fight!"
Sima Zhantian held an Immortal Blade, his Half-Step Golden Core aura fully on display.
Shadow, Leng Wuming, and Gai Jiuyou all stepped forward, releasing their auras as well.
Five great Half-Step Golden Cores, plus Ye Feng, the super anomaly!
Seeing this, Chi Jark was excited to join in, "Fighting is such fun; of course, I want to be counted in too. Let me join the fray!"
Chi Jark's Half-Step Golden Core was even more powerful, clearly stronger than Xiao Chuanqi's and Sima Zhantian's auras by a notch!
Xiao Rulong also showed a smiling face and said, "Since that's the case, it wouldn't be right for me to just stand by, especially since I'm already standing with Brother Ye."
Xiao Chubby, shaking a fan, took a step forward, releasing an aura only slightly weaker than Chi Jark's.
In an instant, Ye Feng's side was filled with formidable fighters. Including Ye Feng, there were a total of eight Half-Step Golden Core experts, whose terrifying presence filled the entire arena, causing everyone to shiver with fear.
Hong Gaishi's expression changed slightly as he saw Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong unveil themselves. He darkly said, "So the normally neutral Chi Family and Xiao Family are picking sides now?"
As everyone knew, among the Four Great Ancient Clans, the Chi Family and the Xiao Family were rather reserved, usually not involved in any conflict and keeping a very low profile. Even the Xuanyuan Hall Master didn't have members from the Chi or Xiao Families, but no one dared to provoke either Clan easily. The absence of a Hall Master didn't mean there were no experts with the strength of one.
Chi Jark's expression remained unchanged, speaking casually, "My own affairs have nothing to do with my family. Don't you start pinning labels on me willy-nilly, young Hong. Know your place."
Chi Jark had never considered Hong Gaishi worthy of attention. Perhaps if it were Hong Tianyu from the Hong Family, the genius ranked second on the genius list, he might have some apprehension, but Hong Gaishi, a newly promoted Half-Step Golden Core, was simply not in his league.
Xiao Rulong too chuckled good-naturedly, "Just like Brother Chi, I'm acting purely on my own behalf, not much to do with the family."
There was also a slight hint of disdain in Xiao Rulong's eyes. To him, Hong Gaishi was simply too green.
Those in Hong Gaishi's eyes of disdain were noticed by Hong Gaishi himself, anger brewing in his heart, yet he dared not act out. He was aware that on the Outer Battlefield, the one currently holding the limelight was their family's own Hong Tianyu, that same genius who had been ranked second on the previous list of geniuses.
Humph, he was just born a few years before me. Sooner or later, I'll catch up!
Hong Gaishi was enraged, but at this time, he was powerless to do anything.
Surrounding onlookers, seeing Ye Feng's side's formidable strength, dared not say a word. Eight Half-Step Golden Cores could completely sweep the arena—although the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts also had many strong figures in the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, it was clear they all had their own plans, making it difficult to act with one heart.
No one spoke of Ye Feng's side anymore, and at this time, the voice of the Seventh Hall Master Hong resounded.
"There is only one incense stick's worth of time remaining. In one stick of incense, only twenty-five contenders must remain on the stage; otherwise, they will be dealt with according to the rules," calmly stated the Seventh Hall Master.
The complexion of the fighters on the stage changed, and Hong Gaishi bit his teeth. There was no time left. He couldn't care less about Ye Feng's side now.
"Let's begin the fight," Hong Gaishi declared.
Several major powers nodded in agreement.
The battle under the Half-Step Golden Core Realm was about to erupt!
In the arena, Divine Path Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouses broke into a fierce melee, each nearly desperate. These were spots for the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, with immense spirit stones and excellent cultivation environments at stake—things they had all dreamed of. If they could just enter and cultivate in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, even if only for five days, it would be equivalent to several months or even years of cultivation!
The other powerhouses had already stepped aside to watch the battle unfold, with all the major powers naturally hoping their own would remain. The Divine Path Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm fighters fought as if their lives depended on it, willing to sustain severe injuries before giving in or being carried out of the arena by allies from their power.
There was no other way; the path of cultivation was this cruel.
```
Half a stick of incense time had passed, and only ten individuals were left in the center of the arena. Since Cao Tian had already secured a spot, they had to fight it out to determine the final four.
"Hong Xing!"
Hong Gaishi roared in fury. Their Hong Family's Foundation Establishment Realm warrior had failed to hold on and was thrown out of the arena.
Hong Gaishi's face showed unwillingness, and he glared hatefully in Ye Feng's direction, his eyes brimming with jealousy.
After a while, finally, only four panting Foundation Establishment Realm warriors remained at the center, with all others having been defeated and eliminated from the platform.
With that, the arena competition had finally come to an end.
The representatives of the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were mostly one semi-Golden Core warrior per sect, with the Buddhist Sect and Confucian Sect having two each, and the Hong Family and Bu Family of the Ancient Clan each also having two at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm.
The rest were several Loose Cultivators.
There were also Loose Cultivators in the Xuanyuan Hall, who had come from the Xuanyuan Nation without attaching themselves to any power. Due to the Cultivation Methods of these Loose Cultivators, their strength was slightly inferior to the average Half-Step Golden Core, but still stronger than those of the Foundation Establishment Realm and Divine Path Realm.
On Ye Feng's side, discounting Chi Jark of the Chi Family and Xiao Rulong of the Xiao Family, they had secured a total of seven spots.
Outside the arena, the seven Hall Masters watched the situation unfold. The Fifth Hall Master frowned as he looked at Ye Feng's group and couldn't help saying, "Ye Feng's side has occupied seven spots. Isn't that a bit too many?"
As soon as he said this, all Hall Masters except the First and the Seventh showed slight displeasure.
"That's nearly one-third of the spots. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"Right, that's too many. I suggest we remove that Peak Martial King youth and give his spot to someone more in need."
"Agreed."
"I agree as well."
The Sixth Hall Master proposed removing Cao Tian's spot, and the other Hall Masters nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the Seventh Hall Master sneered, "The people on Ye Feng's side represent the Utility Pavilion and the Martial Academy's spaces. How is that too many? Besides, weren't your own people not strong enough, and now you want to snatch spots? What a joke."
Of course, he knew Cao Tian, a direct lineage of the Cao Family, which made him one of their Utility Pavilion's own. How could he agree to relinquish the spot?
It was then the First Hall Master spoke, "The selection rules were decided by everyone's vote. Now that the results are out and no rules have been violated, we shouldn't dwell on this matter."
The other Hall Masters' expressions stiffened. They never expected Ye Feng's party to bring so many people. Usually, each family would obtain at least two spots, but now, some sects merely received one, which felt like a huge loss.
However, since the First Hall Master had spoken, they found it hard to say anything more and thus fell silent.
Seeing this, the Seventh Hall Master couldn't help scoffing at their behavior. These people were incompetent, yet they wanted to cause trouble for Ye Feng's side.
Even he felt a bit envious; Ye Feng's side indeed had too many spots. In truth, the only one from the Utility Pavilion itself was Cao Tian, but it was better than nothing at all.
The First Hall Master paid no attention to the other Hall Masters, stepped forward, and with a raise of his hand, he deactivated the arena's Array. In that moment, all the golden lights vanished.
As the Array was lifted, with a thunderous rumble, the massive arena collapsed into countless pieces of rubble.
These ordinary stones could not have withstood such numerous battles anyway. If not for the Array, they would have crumbled long ago.
The crowd was somewhat shocked, amazed by the power of the Array.
The twenty-five individuals who had secured spots were now suspended above the collapsed arena. The First Hall Master looked up at them and declared loudly, "Congratulations to you all. In one day, you will receive the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."
"After entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, all the Spirit Stones you acquire must involve a contribution of fifty stones to the Xuanyuan Hall, as per the rules."
"Here are storage rings, which serve as your reward and to carry the Spirit Stones. Xuanyuan Hall will only require fifty stones; how you hide the rest is of no concern to us."
The First Hall Master casually tossed the rings, and twenty-five plain-looking rings flew into the hands of the twenty-five people.
Many who received the rings were visibly excited, for these were the legendary high-tier storage rings!
Ye Feng was also rather shocked—it was a storage ring. It seemed that the rings were in the possession of the Hall Masters in the Xuanyuan Hall. No wonder the Hall Masters had suspected him of actually having a Dragon Egg; they were aware of the existence of storage rings.

Ye Feng received his storage ring, and upon inspection, he found that its space was very small, only about one cubic meter. Ye Feng felt somewhat disdainful—the Five-clawed Golden Dragon had given him one with twenty cubic meters of space.
What Ye Feng didn't realize was that the storage ring he dismissed was the object of envy for many.
Even many Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm might not possess a storage ring!
