Gong Nansong frowned, his brow furrowed. "You and I both know the strength of the twenty-ninth floor's Gatekeeper. A battle formation of two Late-stage Astral Force puppets is comparable to a seasoned Late-stage Astral Force master... If he can really..."
Elder Feng's gaze was sharp. She said slowly, "If he passes, it means his combat strength far exceeds his Realm. His potential must be re-evaluated!"
In that very moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd—
The massive stone stele beside the Celestial Treasure Tower suddenly shimmered with light!
Under the gazes of countless eyes, the number after Chen Qing's name suddenly jumped!
Twenty-nine!
And his rank, with unstoppable momentum, shot madly upward, instantly crushing name after name before it. Finally, it defiantly locked in at—
Eighth place!
Silence!
A deathly silence!
It was as if an invisible hand had violently seized time itself, freezing everyone's movements, expressions, and voices.
