"This feeling of being full of power is really intoxicating …" Chen Yu felt the power in his body, and slowly closed his eyes, muttering to himself.

At this moment, he seemed to be able to see the four rays of light containing energy in his eyes.

The aura contained the four Concepts of Wind, Cloud, Demon, and Sword.

Martial Imperial Manor's competition had also entered into a white-hot stage.

The rankings of the 8th, 9th, and 13th places continued to change.

It wasn't until midnight when the time for the challenge was over that the slots for the ten prodigies were finally decided.

What surprised Chen Yu was that among the ten heroes, there was one that he was familiar with!

"Big brother Chen Yu, I have also entered the top ten prodigies!"

When Chen Xiner smiled and said these words to him, Chen Yu was so surprised that it seemed like an egg could be put down her mouth.

However, when Chen Yu looked at Chen Xiner's cultivation, and realised that she had unknowingly advanced to the peak of the eighth stage of the Spirit Star Realm, he was no longer surprised.

After all, the Duan Chen ranked tenth among the ten heroes, was only at the eighth stage of the Martial Dao.

Seeing Duan Chen who had already been kicked out of the list of ten prodigies, Chen Yu revealed a look of disdain.

When Duan Chen saw the look in Chen Yu's eyes, he unconsciously revealed a trace of fear.

After that, Duan Chen immediately turned his head, pretended not to see Chen Yu, and quietly squeezed into the crowd, disappearing from Chen Yu's sight.

Presumably, Duan Chen had already understood the gap between him and Chen Yu, and was afraid that Chen Yu would come back to find trouble with him, so he escaped in a sorry state.

However, what he did not know was that Chen Yu did not care about him at all.

At this time, Duan Chen and Chen Yu were no longer on the same level.

He wondered how shameful Duan Chen would be if he knew what he was thinking at the moment!

After the end of the ranking, the ten heroes had already been eliminated.

There was no suspense as there was not even the slightest change in the rankings of the top three. They were respectively the first hero, Shen Xiaoyao, the second hero, Li Cang Ling, and the third ranked, Chen Yu.

They were Xue Yi, who was ranked fourth, Li Hanlin, who was ranked fifth, Zhao Yijian, who was ranked sixth, Chu Hun, who was ranked seventh, Huang He, who was ranked eighth, and Nie Yun, who was ranked ninth, as well as the only female out of the ten heroes, Chen Xiner.

"Big Brother Chen Yu, with your strength, you can definitely challenge first place. Why did you have to be third?"

In Chen Xiner's eyes, Chen Yu was definitely the strongest amongst his peers, without any explanation!

"I only need to enter the top ten. As for the ranking, it doesn't really matter to me." Chen Yu said with a relaxed smile.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, many people in the surroundings could not help but reveal envious expressions.

They all knew that with the potential of Chen Yu's cultivation, he would definitely have attracted the attention of the Martial King long ago. As a result, the rankings of the ten heroes did not have much effect on Chen Yu.

Time slowly passed. Many youths that entered the list of ten prodigies for the first time didn't even sleep at all.

When dawn of the next day arrived, the Great Gatekeeper of the Thirteenth Gatekeeper, Zhou Qi, gathered the new talents together.

"Congratulations, you have received the name of the Martial Imperial Manor's Ten Heroic Assassins. In the next ten days, Martial King will personally guide you. Today, you all should prepare the questions you want to ask! "

When these words came out, the ten heroic young elites' hearts immediately surged. Their eyes lit up, and their eyes were filled with excitement!

These youths were all geniuses amongst geniuses. Their pursuit of martial dao was exceptionally fervent.

Within the Xuanwu Empire, there were still not many people who could give them cultivation guidance.

Amongst the few of them, the Martial King was the best.

How could these youngsters not feel excited!?

However, among these people, there were a few who did not look as excited as they did.

These people were precisely those ranked in the top three, Shen Xiaoyao, Li Cang Ling and Chen Yu.

After all, the three of them had already received guidance from the Martial King, so their expressions weren't as intense.

However, Chen Yu still had some anticipation in his heart.

In his heart, there were still many unanswered questions. These questions would be answered in the next ten days.

After the ten heroes of the Martial Imperial Manor were gathered on time, under the lead of the Grand Guard, the ten of them headed towards the pavilion at the center of the Martial Imperial Manor.

Inside the central pavilion, the Thirteen Guards were all present. The leader turned around, faced the ten youths, and said with a nod:

"In the next ten days, you can enter the pavilion and receive the personal guidance of the Martial King. Remember, this is a rare opportunity, don't waste it!"

With that, the Thirteen Gateways Guard split into two sides, and made way for the stairs that led to the top of the tower.

"Follow me!"

With that, the head guard, Zhou Qi, took the lead and led the way up the stairs.

Ta, ta, ta …

In the quiet pavilion, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

The pavilion was not very tall, but the journey up the mountain was a long and boring one.

At the top of the pavilion, there seemed to be a terrifying pressure that caused the ten young geniuses to hold their breaths as their hearts thumped. The blood within their bodies was being suppressed, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, the ten of them stepped onto the stairs to the left back and arrived at the top of the building.

In front of them was an extremely simple and unadorned gate.

At this moment, the door was tightly shut.

When Zhou Qi arrived at the door, he half-knelt on the ground and shouted into the door, "Reporting to the Lord, the Thirteenth Gatekeeper has already followed the orders and brought ten heroes to meet us."

After a while, a deep voice came from inside the door, "Let them in!"

"Yes sir!"

After saying that, Zhou Qi leaned to the side and gently pushed open the door to the top floor of the pavilion!
