Chapter 0781: The Second Match

While Huang Long and the others sat in the Naisi family’s seat, waiting patiently, the gods’ discussions continued unabated.
“Could the Naisi family really still possess a Hongmeng spiritual treasure attack artifact?!”
Some god-tier powerhouses also thought so.
It wasn’t surprising that these god-tier powerhouses would think this way—after all, the Naisi family and the Stan family were roughly equal in strength, yet the Naisi family won so easily. What did that imply?!
A Hongmeng spiritual treasure attack artifact!
If an elder from the Naisi family used such an artifact in battle, it wouldn’t be impossible to defeat an elder from the Stan family effortlessly.
Moreover, recent rumors in Hongmeng City suggested that the Naisi family had more than one such artifact!
Of course, these were just wild guesses by some god-tier powerhouses. Meanwhile, on the podium, Fei Li sat on the Divine King’s throne, staring at Huang Long and the others, tapping his fingers lightly, lost in thought.
Ziniya also watched the Naisi family’s seat with a look of surprise. Though she had expected them to win, their effortless victory far exceeded her expectations.
If it had been one of the Five Great Dominators, it wouldn’t have been surprising. But it was the Naisi family!
A family that couldn’t even rank among the top 100 of the 3,000 Hongmeng races!
“Livya, what do you see?” Ziniya turned to see Livya staring at the Naisi family with a puzzled, disbelieving expression, and asked.
Livya snapped back to reality, avoiding Ziniya’s gaze slightly, and said, “Oh, nothing. I’m just surprised that the Naisi family is so strong!”
Ziniya didn’t think much of it and nodded seriously, “The Naisi family indeed cannot be underestimated!”
Unsubstantiated! For Ziniya to say such a thing, if the gods heard it, there would surely be another wave of uproar.
However, aside from Fei Li, Ziniya, and Livya, on the podium, Durali, the leader of the Tianlong clan, was also staring at the Naisi family’s seat, his gaze flickering.
Originally, he hadn’t paid much attention to the Naisi family, but now it had piqued his interest.
“Defeating the Stan family so easily… Hmm, interesting!” Durali murmured to himself.
“Found it?” He couldn’t help but recall Lus’s mocking words about their clan’s eldest elder, Deqi.
As the gods continued to discuss, Huang Long and the others remained calm, as if untouched by the noise.

Not long after Huang Long and his group won, the sky platform once again glowed with light—this time, it was the southern area of the platform! Seeing another match decide a winner, the gods turned their attention there.
“It’s the southern area again. I wonder which two clans have won this time?!”
The gods watched eagerly.
“It’s the Black Bear Clan!”
As the light stabilized, the gods recognized the victors and exclaimed in surprise.
It was the Black Bear Clan!
In their minds, the Black Bear Clan had the strength to compete with the five great dominators.
“The Sera Clan!”
Following the Black Bear Clan was a clan named Sera. This Sera Clan wasn’t very strong, roughly on par with the previous Naisi Clan.
When the gods saw the Black Bear Clan win, they weren’t overly surprised—given that the Naisi Clan and the Stan Clan had also won earlier, it made sense for the Black Bear Clan to defeat the Sera Clan so quickly.
After the elders of the Black Bear Clan stepped forward, they held their heads high. But when they went to the elder in charge of recording results from the Thunder Roc Clan, they suddenly saw on the stone tablet that, aside from the five Thunder Roc clans, there were other clans that had won their matches even faster than them. The once arrogant elders of the Black Bear Clan grew visibly displeased.
“The Naisi Clan!”
After the five Thunder Roc clans, the name “Naisi Clan” stood out sharply!
The Naisi Clan!
They were no strangers to them—in fact, they were quite familiar, as the news about the Naisi Clan bidding for the Stone Essence from the Fengming Merchant Guild had spread widely throughout Hongmeng City. They had discussed this matter before!
Thus, they knew well how strong the Naisi Clan was. Among the over a thousand Hongmeng races participating in these platform competitions, they could be said to be among the weakest.
But now?!
After recording the results, the elders of the Black Bear Clan returned to their seats and all looked toward the Naisi Clan’s position.
Of course, their gazes toward Huang Long and the others weren’t friendly—after all, no one would be kind if their sixth pair was taken away from them.
“How is it? Who is the Naisi Clan’s opponent?” After sitting down, the chief elder of the Black Bear Clan, Cabin, asked a servant beside him.
Earlier, he had sent that servant to investigate the details of the Naisi Clan’s match.
All the elders of the Black Bear Clan stared at the servant.
“Reporting to the chief elder, it’s the Stan Clan!” the servant quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully.
The Stan Clan?! Cabin and the other elders were stunned.

“How could the Nais family defeat the Stan family so quickly? Do they really possess some divine weapon from the Hongmeng realm?!” asked an old man with gray hair beside Cabin.
This old man was Liwaku, the second elder of the Black Bear clan.
It turned out that Liwaku, like other god-tier warriors from other clans, believed the Nais family had used a divine weapon from the Hongmeng realm to defeat the Stan family so swiftly.
Cabin asked the attendant, “Is that true?!”
The attendant quickly replied, “Elder, second elder, according to our investigation, the Nais family didn’t use any divine weapons to defeat the Stan family!”
“Didn’t use any divine weapons?!” Cabin and the others were shocked.
“Yes,” the attendant nodded respectfully.
“Describe in detail how their battle went!” Cabin’s eyes sparkled.
After bowing respectfully, the attendant recounted in detail the battle between the Nais family and the Stan family. When he mentioned that the Thunder Beast and the Yellow Dragon had defeated the Stan family elders with a single strike each, Cabin and the others stared in surprise at the Yellow Dragon and Thunder Beast sitting among the Nais family members.
When the attendant spoke of the Scoundrel Dragon tormenting the second elder of the Stan family, Cabin and the others looked at the Scoundrel Dragon again.
The Scoundrel Dragon sensed their gazes, turned to look at them, and grinned—a look identical to the one it had when staring at the second elder of the Stan family.
“Hmph!” At that moment, Liwaku, the second elder of the Black Bear clan, snorted coldly.
The Scoundrel Dragon blew out a breath and turned back, leaving Liwaku feeling frustrated.
“What’s the point of winning against those weak Stan family members? If the Nais family faces our Black Bear clan, they’ll be terrified!” sneered the fifth elder of the Black Bear clan.
As time passed, more and more battles were decided. When the last two matches were settled, the clans that won the first round took their tickets for the next round and began the second round of battles.
However, when the Yellow Dragon and the others took their tickets and were teleported back into the battle arena to see their opponents for the second round, they were stunned.
The Black Bear clan!
For the second round, the Nais family’s opponent was the Black Bear clan!
Was this luck for the Nais family, or for the Black Bear clan?!
