One evolution point per second, all tamed beasts are at the eternal star level.

…………

Qin Feng slowly walked up to Chen Sheng.

Behind him, the five great beasts each occupied a position, blotting out the sky and radiating a terrifying aura.

Chen Sheng knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head, and looked as if he were seeing a god.

…………

Outside the Tianjiao Tower.

"Ten minutes have passed."

"That beast tamer actually lasted ten minutes against Chen Sheng?"

"Unbelievable, could he possibly defeat Chen Sheng even more?"

"It's hard to say. It's not impossible for someone who can control two ancestral-level beasts to surpass Chen Sheng."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Li Shan's complexion was also gradually turning ugly.

In his opinion, the beast tamer would be defeated in just two minutes in front of Chen Sheng, and at most he would not last more than five minutes.

But now, a full ten minutes have passed.

Ten minutes is enough to show that the combat strength of the two is extremely close, or even equal.

He clenched his fists, and cold sweat was seeping from his palms.

He bet 100 million Alliance Coins, and if Chen Sheng loses, it will be a huge loss for him.

Li Shan stared intently at the list of prodigies, awaiting the results.

Just then, the list of prodigies finally changed.

The onlookers looked tense, their eyes all fixed on it.

…………

[100th Floor of the Tower of Pride: Qin Feng - Occupation: Beast Tamer, Level: 90 (Second Rebirth)]

[Ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Pride: Chen Sheng – Occupation: Divine Messenger, Level: Fourth Rebirth, Level 150]

[Ninety-eighth floor of the Tower of Pride: Fang Hongyu - Class: Heavenly Fire Mage, Level: Fourth Rebirth, Level 148.]

[Ninety-seventh floor of the Tower of Pride: Lei Zhenghao - Class: Thunder Mage, Level: Fourth Rebirth, Level 145.]

【………】

………………

The rankings have been updated, and the clear data is now presented to everyone.

In an instant, the scene fell into an unprecedented silence.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Although they had suspected it beforehand, they still found it hard to believe when the result actually appeared before them.

The Tower of Pride has one hundred floors!

That beast tamer actually made it to the hundredth floor of the Tower of Pride!

Even Chen Sheng is no match for him?

"Impossible! How could this be?!"

Li Shan, seemingly insane, collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

"What's impossible?"

Wang Hao walked forward with a smile, looking down at Li Shan, and said, "A mere 100 million Alliance Coins, you, Li Shan, can't afford to lose, can you?"

"you!"

Li Shan stared intently at Wang Hao, his teeth clenched.

"Wang Hao, don't be too happy yet. The time isn't up yet, the rankings aren't finalized, and I haven't lost yet."

"Oh? Really? You think someone will still try to climb the tower and reach the hundredth floor?"

Wang Hao shook his head and chuckled.

"That's right."

As if grasping at a straw once again, Li Shan spoke up:

"There's another predetermined person. Once that predetermined person arrives, they will surely be able to suppress the Tower of Prodigies and occupy its hundredth floor!"

"The chosen one?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao frowned slightly, puzzled.

The onlookers seemed to have suddenly thought of something and began to speak up.

"Yes, and there's also the person Lei Zhenghao mentioned who was pre-selected."

"That's right, how could we forget about him?"

"Chen Sheng himself said that the person chosen by the emperor was not him, so there must be someone else. The person chosen by the emperor has not yet arrived."

"There are still six hours until the rankings are finalized at twelve o'clock. It seems that this Beastmaster will not be able to hold onto the top spot in the Tower of Prodigies after all."

……

A glint returned to Li Shan's eyes.

"Wang Hao, once the chosen one arrives, I will make you bow your head and admit defeat."

Wang Hao raised an eyebrow but did not respond.

He had full confidence in Qin Feng. With the help of an ancient-level [Black Dragon King], he even had the strength to overpower a sixth-level cultivator. If he didn't reach the seventh level, no one could do anything to Qin Feng.

However, he also wanted to know if the person Li Shan had mentioned as the pre-selected candidate really existed.

He has plenty of time; he can just wait.

……

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Wang Hao stood to the side, remaining silent throughout.

Li Shan, however, was starting to lose his balance. His expression became somewhat flustered, and he kept glancing at the time.

Five hours...

Four hours...

Three hours...

……

Li Shan's face was as black as charcoal, and he was in a state of anxiety.

One hour left, only one hour left.

Why hasn't the designated person arrived yet?

He paced back and forth, trying to alleviate the anxiety in his heart.

Those watching also began to have doubts.

"No, it's only the last hour! Does that pre-selected person even exist?"

"Given Lei Zhenghao's status, he wouldn't fabricate lies, would he?"

"Really? Besides, Chen Sheng's words at the time seemed to confirm the existence of a pre-selected person, so it shouldn't be a lie."

"But there's less than an hour left. Even if the chosen person arrives, an hour won't be enough, will it?"

The crowd was discussing it.

Just then, someone tentatively said:

"Could it be that our initial assumptions were misguided?"

"Guessing the direction? What do you mean?"

Everyone looked at him.

"What I mean is, is it possible that the chosen one does exist, but is already inside the Tower of Pride?"

"Already inside the Tower of Pride?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, what we're saying is, is it possible that that beast tamer is the so-called pre-selected person?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Yes, is it possible that the beast tamer was the one predetermined to be chosen?

How could they have overlooked this beast tamer?

The fact that he was able to defeat Chen Sheng proves that this beast tamer was the chosen one.

Upon hearing this guess, Li Shan was completely dumbfounded.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that the mere second-level beast tamer would be the chosen one.

Time passed, and when midnight arrived, the list of the most talented people was finalized, and everything was settled. Li Shan's last bit of hope was completely dashed.

In an instant, his face turned deathly pale, and his mood was like a rollercoaster, going from hell to heaven and then from heaven to hell, plunging him into utter despair.

…………

Above the clouds.

A person remained hidden in the void, indifferently watching the crowd below.

He kept his aura restrained, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for his chance.

Until a figure slowly walked out of the Tower of Pride, his eyes sharpened as he found his target.

……
