Chapter 0802: The Battle for the Top Ten Begins

The second round of competition ended, and the top ten families were finally determined!
Apart from the Nais family, the five dominant clans—Lei Peng, Tian Feng, Jin Yuan, Tian Long, and Yin Hu—also made it into the top ten. The other four major families were the Xu Ying clan, Tun Tian Mang clan, Cang He clan, and Wen Hu clan!
Originally, according to the results of the previous competition, the Hei Xiong clan should have made it into the top ten as well, but this time it was replaced by the Nais family.
The Nais family became the biggest dark horse in this competition!
Even the gods paid more attention to the Nais family than to the five dominant clans—Lei Peng, Tian Feng, and the rest!
Some godly strongmen even hoped that the Nais family would suddenly rise and claim first place this time!
Over the years, the descendants of the Lei Peng clan had been too domineering, oppressing members of other families, who had long harbored resentment toward them.
“Now, please invite the strong members of the top ten families—Lei Peng, Tian Feng, Jin Yuan, Tian Long, Yin Hu, Xu Ying, Tun Tian Mang, Cang He, Wen Hu, and Nais—to come onto the stage!” said Elder Ouni, the organizer of the competition.
As Ouni spoke, aside from the God Kings, the strong members of the Lei Peng, Tian Feng, and Jin Yuan clans stepped onto the platform of Hong Meng City one after another.
Whether intentionally or casually, Ouni placed the Nais family last in the list.
However, Huang Long didn’t care about it.
When Huang Long and the others stood on the platform, Fei Li,Bruchi, Tel Han, Dula Li, Zini Ya, Li Wei Ya, and others stood up from the God King’s throne and came to the front of the stage.
“This competition is the most exciting one held in the Hong Meng Realm so far!” Fei Li began, summarizing the previous competition.
After a long summary, Fei Li changed his tone and said, “Especially impressive is how the Nais family suddenly rose to prominence, defeating the Hei Xiong clan and the Luo family one after another to make it into the top ten—it’s truly surprising!”
All the gods turned their attention to the Nais family.
The elders and descendants of the Hei Xiong clan wore expressions of hatred.
Huang Long frowned—Fei Li was clearly trying to stir up more hatred between the Hei Xiong clan and the Nais family.
“We, the God Kings, have decided to continue the third round of competition tomorrow. What do you think, Lu Su?” Fei Li asked calmly, turning to Lu Su while also looking at Huang Long.
According to previous rules, some time should have been taken for rest after the second round before starting the third round. But now, Fei Li announced the decision of the God Kings, which was rather sudden. Although he asked Lu Su’s opinion, it had already been decided—this was merely a “polite” notification.
“Well…” Lu Su didn’t know how to respond.

“Since it’s the decision of the Gods King, our Naisi family naturally has no objections!” Huang Long spoke up.
Fei Li smiled and said, “Since there are no objections, that’s good. I hope the Naisi family can continue to surprise us tomorrow!”
“Sure!” Huang Long glanced at Fei Li indifferently.
And so, the gods dispersed.
Huang Long, Huang Liang, and the others returned to the Sun and Moon Branch Hall of the Hongmeng Hall.
“Second brother, Fei Li and the others moved up the date for the third round of competition without consulting our Naisi family at all. It’s clear they don’t take us seriously!” As soon as they returned, Huang Liang couldn’t help but speak angrily.
“Yes, second brother, it’s infuriating!” Huang Yi also looked furious.
Huang Long smiled calmly, “It’s fine. It’s better if it’s earlier!” This was true—having the competition earlier meant ending the first round sooner and obtaining the Heavenly Cauldron faster, avoiding unnecessary delays and possible tricks from Fei Li and the others!
“Huang Long, if Naisi wins first, I’m afraid Fei Li won’t hand over the secret to open the sacred temple and the Heavenly Cauldron so easily!” At that moment, Huoyang voiced his concerns.
Huang Liang, Huang Yi, Pi Long, and the others looked at Huang Long. They had also considered this issue.
Huang Long smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. By then, he won’t be able to stop us. I have my own plans!”
Seeing Huang Long say this, everyone knew he must have a solution, and their worries vanished.
So, Huang Long and the others began to meditate in the Sun and Moon Hall, adjusting their states as they awaited tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in the Fengming Hall,Bruchi called his son Wei Lie over and said, “Son, I’m now passing on the highest secret technique of our Tianfeng clan to you. If you encounter Sand from the Naisi family tomorrow, use this technique to fight him—you’ll surely win!”
“Father, do you mean I can’t defeat that Sand with my current strength?!” Wei Lie asked, somewhat unconvinced.
Although the Naisi family had made it into the top ten, Wei Lie still didn’t take them seriously.
Bruchi said, “Don’t be unconvinced. Sand is indeed very strong. Just the fact that he can dodge Fei Li’s attacks puts him in an unbeatable position!” Then,Bruchi’s tone changed as he sneered, “But if you learn the highest secret technique of the Tianfeng clan, Sand’s concealment technique won’t matter at all—he’ll be defeated for sure!”
The highest secret technique of the Tianfeng clan could break through any concealment technique, and its user’s attack power would double!
Wei Lie was at the peak of the Late Supreme God stage. With his attack power doubled, inBruchi’s eyes, he would be invincible beneath the Gods King!
In the Pengcheng Hall, Fei Li also called Bota, Tisi, and the others over, risking the depletion of his vital energy to infuse them with the laws of the Gods King’s essence.

“Tomorrow, if you encounter the Nais family, kill everyone except that Sand! I still need him alive!” After completing the infusion, Fei Li said to Porta and the others, “Leave Sand alive—I still have use for him!”
“Yes, Lord Divine King!” Porta, Tisi, and the others replied respectfully.
The divine kings of the Golden Ape Clan, the Heavenly Dragon Clan, and other clans also used their powers to greatly enhance the strength of their elders, aiming to compete for first place tomorrow.
Without exception, all the divine kings listed the Nais family as their top target.
As night faded and dawn appeared, the streets of Hongmeng City became as busy as rivers, with all these crowds converging on the Hongmeng Sky Terrace Square!
Today would be the day of the competition for first place in the Hongmeng Realm!
The day long awaited by all the gods had finally arrived!
Who would claim first place this time? Billions of godly warriors were eagerly waiting to find out.
“The Thunder Roc Clan has arrived!”
“The Heavenly Phoenix Clan!”
When the powerful members of the Thunder Roc Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan entered, it caused quite a stir. The elders of these two clans carried themselves with arrogance.
“Look, that’s the Nais family!”
“The Nais family!”
However, when Huang Long and the others arrived, even greater uproar ensued.
Thunder Roc’s Porta glanced at Huang Long with murderous intent and snorted coldly.
Huang Long met his gaze, and their eyes collided invisibly, sparking a burst of energy in the air. From this exchange, Porta gained no advantage; he glared at Huang Long before turning away.
Huang Long sneered at his retreating figure.
After a while, all the powerful members of the ten major clans arrived. The divine kings entered and took their thrones. With Fei Li’s approval, Old Eight of the Thunder Roc Clan, Oni, announced, “The competition begins! Please, the powerful warriors of each clan, step forward to draw your match cards!”
