Chapter 1295: The Fourth One

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Outside the three floored pagoda, there were still people who continued to be thrown out after they were eliminated. Some were defeated on the third floor, but a large majority had failed on the second floor. Because everyone had different strengths, the timings at which they were eliminated were also naturally different.

Among the rejected, there was no lack of geniuses. Looking at the continuous stream of geniuses being thrown from the pagoda, the crowd couldn’t help but sigh ruefully. The first round of this year’s Young Priest choosing ceremony was already so difficult, the next two rounds would surely be even harder.

Right at that moment, a second person arrived at the top of the pagoda, where Wu Ren Wang sat alone. This man wore a purple robe and a cold expression. He was Wu Ma. Right after him, Wu You Lan followed. The both of them had passed the first round and reached the top of the pagoda at virtually the same time.

“Wu Ma and Wu You Lan have passed!”

“As I have expected, the two of them are the fastest to finish!”

“Really brilliant. Based on the speed with which they passed, their strengths definitely far exceed the rest of the candidates!”

The crowd started talking to each other. They were somewhat envious, but also marvelled at the two candidates. However, they did not surprise anyone as the both of them were very talented. Being able to pass the round so quickly was expected. Furthermore, not only did they have extraordinary talents, they were also a romantic couple and were really a perfect match for each other. Even the Grand Priest, four priests, and core elders on their stands subtly nodded their heads. They also looked highly upon both Wu Ma and Wu You Lan.

Wu Ren Wang, who was sitting cross legged on the top of the pagoda, slowly opened his eyes and glanced over at his two competitors.

“The both of you did not disappoint me!” said Wu Ren Wang nonchalantly.

“Wu Ren Wang, you didn’t expect to become the Young Priest so easily at this ceremony!” walking up to Wu Ren Wang, Wu Ma responded in a serious manner.

“Just based on your strengths,” responded Wu Ren Wang, who laughed lightly as a mocking smile spread across his face.

“That’s right, with our strengths!” Wu Ma lightly nodded his head and then glanced to Wu You Lan who was beside him. The two of them shared a silent smile.

“I see the two of you are confident!” Wu Ren Wang laughed coldly as he shook his head. “Hopefully your confidence will make this ceremony a bit more fun. Otherwise it would be too boring!”

Wu Ma and Wu You Lan maintained the smiles on their faces. Wu Ren Wang had always been arrogant. This time, even if they might not win, they must still destroy that pride of his.

On the lower grounds.

Everyone’s gaze was directed towards the top of the pagoda, silently waiting to see who else would pass the first round and reach the top.

“I think the next one to reach the top would be Wu Qiong. He is ranked fourth and his talents and potential are just behind Wu Ma and Wu You Lan!” Wu Chang Yuan declared to his friends beside him.

Wu Chang Yuan had also entered the pagoda but was not even able to pass the first level before being eliminated and forced to become a mere spectator.

“That is highly probable, but there is also Wu Mo Yu and Wu Gang Tian, who are at fifth and sixth place, respectively.”

“I believe the fourth person will be among those three!” guessed others in the crowd.

Aside from Wu Chang Yuan, many other geniuses were also guessing who would be the next to reach the top. As everyone was still discussing among themselves, a small figure suddenly appeared at the top of the pagoda.

Wu Chen!

The next person who reached the top closely behind Wu Ma and Wu You Lan was no one’s guess. It was not Wu Qiong, Wu Mo Yu, or even Wu Gang Tian, but Wu Chen, who wasn’t even ranked among the first seventy top candidates.

How could this be?

Everyone was completely surprised. How could Wu Chen pass the first round so quickly? Unless his fighting strength was actually much higher than all the other geniuses?

Wu Chang Yuan’s eyes were even wider than others and his face carried a look of utter disbelief. He was on familiar terms with Wu Chen and had talked to him before at Earth Pagoda for a pretty long time. Back then, he did not think highly of Wu Chen at all. However, after that moment, Wu Chen’s strength increased exponentially, beating many Sorcerer Tribe geniuses and even killing Wu Mo, which shocked everyone.

Wu Chang Yuan was already surprised by those events. However, despite that, he did not imagine that Wu Chen would actually be this strong and could make it to the top of the pagoda so quickly.

“My god! How could it be Wu Chen?”

“Isn’t Wu Chen the one who previously made it into the top one hundred list? Is he that strong?”

“How did he reach the top? Unless he possesses some secret trick?”

The entire grounds was in an uproar. Shouts of surprise and raised voices were sounding everywhere. This outcome was unlike what anyone had expected. Even the four priests and core elders were taken aback by Wu Chen being the fourth candidate to defeat the pagoda. Before, they had viewed Wu Chen as just a tribesman without any family backing behind him. Yet, after he killed Wu Mo a few months ago, they began to take note of him.

Only the Grand Priest nodded his head. He could somewhat sense what happened inside the pagoda and naturally knew how Wu Chen managed to pass.

Walking up the stairs and reaching the top, Su Mo casually looked around him. After seeing that only Wu Ren Wang, Wu Ma, and Wu You Lan were there with him at the top, he was mildly surprised. He had deliberately slowed his pace and had expected that there would be at least ten others before him who would pass the three floored pagoda challenge. He did not expect that there would only be three others at the top and that he would be the fourth person to join them.

Sensing the numerous stares on him, Su Mo maintained his expression and walked down from the main platform at the top of the pagoda. Then he slowly waited for the round to finish. He could feel three sharp stares upon him, as though they could see completely through him. He didn’t even need to check to know that it was Wu Ren Wang, Wu Ma, and Wu You Lan who were staring him down.

The three of them were surprised. They had never heard of Wu Chen and did not know him at all. However, after carefully checking him, the three stopped staring and did not concern themselves too much. They were the three main candidates at this Young Priest choosing ceremony and only they had the qualifications to be the next Young Priest. As for Wu Ren Wang, he believed that at this choosing ceremony, only Wu Ma and Wu You Lan were worthy of being his competitors. The rest weren’t worth anything at all.

In a mere span of a breath after Su Mo reached the top, the fourth ranked individual Wu Qiong also reached the top. With a height of two meters, Wu Qiong was extremely tall. Yet he was as skinny as a bamboo stick and looked as though a gust of wind could blow him away. He wore a confident smile as he walked to the top of the pagoda. Yet, upon seeing Su Mo there, his face immediately fell and a cold flash passed through his eyes.

He had expected Wu Ma and Wu You Lan to beat him and reach the top before him. Yet, how could this mere fry, Wu Chen, beat him to the top? He basically just got crushed!
