"Ah! If I had known it would turn out like this, I damn well wouldn''t have continued. Why am I so impulsive?"
"Greed never leads to a good oue. It''s toote to regret now."
Realizing this, the three of them were filled with remorse.
If given another chance to choose, they would willingly give up.
"Luckily we didn''t snatch a spot, or we''d have faced the same oue."
"Yeah! Who could have thought that failure would lead to such severe consequences? I thought Patriarch Ye was just trying to scare us."
"It seems we need to be cautious! I wonder how the others are doing."
Those who didn''t get a spot patted their chests, relieved they had dodged a bullet.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng brought out a few more people, all from the secondyer.
Theysted a bit longer, but the consequences were equally severe.
Eventually, after two hours, only a dozen people from the second batch of the secondyer managed to make it out sessfully.
Those who seeded showed significant improvement, with their powers greatly enhanced.
However, those who failed were in a pitiful state, with their powers severely diminished. Recovery would be difficult unless they could enter the firstyer again for cultivation.
Meanwhile, those who seeded in the thirdyer also walked out.
Only ten people seeded in the thirdyer.
Most of them struggled quite a bit, but the effect was undeniably impressive.
The Shi Family Patriarch, the old Dragon God, Dragon God, and several geniuses from the Divine Dragon Guard all achieved half-step Peak of Martial Immortal strength.
As for the remaining people, they barely managed to be veteran half-step Martial Immortals.
Their failure was rather tragic, as their powers even regressed.
Meanwhile, thest batch from the firstyer also barely made it out.
This batch mostly consisted of Miao Family''s senior members, all possessing strength above Martial God Level, with the strongest being Patriarch Miao as an Intermediate Martial God.
However, they knew when to stop and directly abandoned the secondyer.
Thus only the choice for the fourthyer remained.
Initially, Dragon God and the others were eager to try.
But after seeing the consequences of failure, they fell silent.
"I give up!" In the end, the Shi Family Patriarch chose to give up.
"I give up as well!" The old Dragon God simrly chose to quit.
They were both quite old and felt continuing might lead to failure.
However, Dragon God and several geniuses from the Divine Dragon Guard chose to proceed.
These geniuses from the Divine Dragon Guard were trained by Ye Feng himself, possessing sufficient talent and strength.
Ye Feng had confidence in them.
Though Dragon God might struggle a bit in the fourthyer.
In the future, Dragon God''s strength might be suppressed by these three geniuses.
"Wonder if they will seed? If they do, wouldn''t the Divine Dragon Guard surpass the Shi Family?"
"No, the Divine Dragon Guard already surpasses the Shi Family, with several geniuses at half-step Peak of Martial Immortal now."
"Whoa! Is it really like that? Is the Divine Dragon Guard really that formidable?"
"It''s not about power; whoever has a good rtionship with Patriarch Ye bes strong, like the Zhang Family from Dragon Tiger Mountain, or the Miao Family. And it''s said Patriarch Ye is actually Lord Ye from the Divine Dragon Guard, originally a member of the Divine Dragon Guard."
"I see, from now on, I''ll make sure to maintain a good rtionship with the Ye Family, and with Patriarch Ye."
With the Divine Dragon Guard entering the fourthyer, discussions started among the crowd.
At the same time, they were astonished to discover that the Divine Dragon Guard''s strength had surpassed the Shi Family, bing the undisputed first power below the Ye Family.
This left them in awe, and the Shi Family felt helpless.
However, the Shi Family Patriarch was quite satisfied internally, as their strength had significantly improved, far stronger than before.
At the same time, Ye Feng was consistently watching inside the Five Elements Exquisite Tower.
More than half an hourter, Dragon God began to struggle, but he was holding on with sheer determination.
On the other hand, the three young geniuses seemed normal.
Moreover, their strength was improving rapidly; after thisyer, they might reach half-step Peak of Martial Immortal, with few rivals among half-step Martial Immortals.
However, Dragon God struggled a bit.
Even if he seeded, he wouldn''t achieve the same effect as these three.
More than an hourter, Dragon God continued to persevere, showing remarkable resilience.
Simultaneously, the three young geniuses also began to struggle somewhat.
However, they were incredibly determined, a trait nurtured by Ye Feng during their training.
Seeing the Divine Dragon Guard members still inside, those waiting outside were utterly shocked.
"Oh my gosh! They''re still in there! Could they have seeded?"
"Is that possible? This is the fourthyer! Are they really that extraordinary?
"Patriarch Ye, what''s happening inside? Tell us, or we''ll be restless!"
At that moment, they were genuinely anxious, eagerly wanting to know what was going on inside.
"Dragon God is struggling. He has been in this state for over half an hour, so his power hasn''t improved much."
"The three young geniuses from the Divine Dragon Guard are also starting to struggle, but their effects are excellent."
Seeing their curiosity, Ye Feng smiled and described the situation inside.
At the same time, Ye Feng admired Dragon God''s resilience. Managing to persevere from over half an hour until now must be his limit, right?
"Whoa! It seems the Divine Dragon Guard is utterly profiting this time!"
"Jealous, envious, resentful! In the future, aside from the Ye Family, won''t the Divine Dragon Guard be the most powerful?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to shout in amazement.
To them, even if Dragon God ultimately failed, with those three young geniuses, the Divine Dragon Guard was bound to rise powerfully.
...
Finally, after two hours, the Divine Dragon Guard members sessfully emerged.
Though Dragon God seeded, he was in a dire state. However, once he recovered, he should be much stronger than the Shi Family Patriarch.
As for the three young geniuses from the Divine Dragon Guard, their aura was incredibly strong.
"Half-step Peak of Martial Immortal?" Sensing their aura, the Shi Family Patriarch couldn''t help but shout.
"Half-step Peak of Martial Immortal? Much stronger than you?" Upon hearing this, others asked with some confusion.
"Of course! They have enough power to take me down instantly." The Shi Family Patriarch replied without hesitation.
"What? That strong? Able to take down the Shi Family Patriarch? And there are three of them? The Divine Dragon Guard is truly profiting!"
"Indeed! Those who persevere are the very best; their strength is simply extraordinary."
"In the future, whenever you see members of the Divine Dragon Guard, walk around them, and don''t provoke them, understood?"
"In the future, anyone who dares to break the Divine Dragon Guard''s rules should seek their own demise, without dragging the family into it."
Upon hearing these words, these people were startled and looked at the Divine Dragon Guard with eyes full of fear.
In the future, aside from the Ye Family, no one would dare to provoke the Divine Dragon Guard.
Moreover, the Divine Dragon Guard''s duty is to maintain order in the Cultivation Realm and safeguard Dragon Country''s safety. As long as one doesn''t break the rules ormit crimes, they won''t incur the Divine Dragon Guard''s wrath.
If the Divine Dragon Guard really broke the rules, there was still the Ye Family to hold them in check, and the Divine Dragon Guard wouldn''t dare to act recklessly.
Thinking like this made these people feel somewhat relieved.
"Do you still want to continue?" Ye Feng asked calmly.
Though he knew they wouldn''t continue, he still had to ask as a formality...
