Yun Jun Xianzi offered him a faint smile, "If Emperor Shu speaks, of course, I, Yun Jun, am not a stingy person, hehehe..."
Emperor Shu laughed heartily, "Thank you then."
Those residing in Divine Mansions were indeed formidable. No matter how indignant Ling Qiu Hu Shangxian and Lihua Xianzi felt, they had to endure it, for Yun Jun Xianzi had the great Buddha Hong Xuan Tian Di backing her.
Next, it was Ming Zhi Tian's turn. He clenched his fist and pointed it at Luo Zhong, "I wonder how many rings this punch of mine will elicit from you?"
"Boom! Bang!"
"Hum! Hum!......... Hum! Hum! Hum!........."
The Divine Official's pupils dilated, "Ming... Ming Zhi Tian...! It rang nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,... fifteen times!!......... Ninety-nine thousand damage!!"
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Ming Zhi Tian looked at his fist, finding it hard to believe himself. Was this related to the Immortal Emperor's Eye? Did it allow him to see Luo Zhong's weakness, thus maximizing the impact of his strike?
The Immortal Lords of the Three Great Divine Mansions and Ten Great Immortal Mansions all rose to their feet. Hong Xuan Tian Di said, "Know that this ancient Luo Zhong can withstand a blow from a Great Wheel King realm expert. This little servant's punch is equivalent to a strike from a Great Wheel King realm first-tier expert. Xiao Ling, what is the background of this young fellow?"
Xiao Ling Xianzi was again taken aback, "I... I don't know..."
Luo Zhong showed cracks. If Ming Zhi Tian threw another punch, it would surely be destroyed.
"This is..."
Everyone could see that Luo Zhong was on the verge of shattering. Someone, unconvinced, stepped forward, "It must be the Sky Devouring Python on this brat's shoulder causing trouble. Divine Official, I request that he put down the Sky Devouring Python and re-test!"
Immediately, envious individuals chimed in, "Yes! We are not convinced. We request a re-test! Re-test!........."
"Re-test! Re-test!........."
Facing the murmurs of the crowd, the Divine Official looked at Ming Zhi Tian, "There are countless opinions. Are you willing to re-test?"
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Justice resides in people's hearts. I, Ming Zhi Tian, have a clear conscience."
He then put down the little Sky Devouring Python on his shoulder, approached the ancient Luo Zhong, and threw another punch!
"Hum!......... Hum! Hum! Hum!......... Bang!"
Luo Zhong shattered completely! Falling to the ground!
"!!"
The Divine Official announced, "I declare that Xiao Ling Immortal Mansion wins!"
"But it only rang seven times!"
The Divine Official scanned the crowd, "Is that not enough? I ask, who among you can achieve this?"
The servants fell silent.
But soon, someone spoke up, unconvinced, "But there are still over thirty people left to test. What about them?"
The Divine Official pressed a mechanism, and a new ancient Luo Zhong rose. Fortunately, there was a backup.
The competition continued. "One ring, accumulating merit, five thousand five hundred damage."
The subsequent tests were unremarkable, all eliciting a single ring, which no longer held anyone's interest.
All eyes turned back to Ming Zhi Tian. Ming Zhi Tian stood resolutely. Since so many were unconvinced, he had no choice but to gather his strength and unleash his third punch!
"Hum!...... Hum hum hum!......... Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum........."
The Divine Official cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Fifteen rings! Ming Zhi Tian! Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine damage!"
The ancient Luo Zhong again showed cracks!
".................."
They were all convinced.
The Divine Official began to read out the results, "This year's Triennial Three-Type Douluo competition for the Ten Great Immortal Mansions: First Place! Ming Zhi Tian of Xiao Ling Immortal Mansion! Second Place! Ji Li of Zhe Yun Immortal Mansion! Third Place! Chu Fan of Zhe Yun Immortal Mansion! The top three ranked individuals are invited to the stage to receive their awards!"
Ming Zhi Tian, Ji Li, and Chu Fan ascended the stage one by one, and the Divine Official presented them with their prizes.
"This is a Heavenly Tribulation grade magical artifact! My heavens! Only Immortal Mansion Lords possess such items."
