Chapter 244

"Was I eliminated? Damn it!"

Bai Tianyu and Han Wenzhou looked at each other, their eyes full of annoyance.

"Eh? Eh? I remember no one hit me; how was I eliminated?" The young man who had been hiding in the grass was completely bewildered.

"Ouch, it hurts like hell!" Lin Zhaoran spat out a mouthful of dirt and wailed continuously.

"Ah, Lin Zhaoran, what happened to you?" Bai Tianyu and the other rushed over immediately.

Seeing this, Sun Zhanglao frowned, coughed, and said: "Congratulations to everyone for becoming the top five of this year's Heavenly Frost Martial Tournament!"

While saying this, Sun Zhanglao himself felt a fire burning in his heart.

Among the five, besides Xue Linglong, what kind of monsters and freaks were the other four?

And the few people on the field were all stunned upon hearing this.

"Top five? I'm already in the top five?"

"No way? Are you kidding me?"

The few were shocked.

On the viewing platform, everyone also let out bursts of boos.

This top five was too embarrassing!

Sun Zhanglao sighed and said: "That's right, first place, Xue Linglong!"

Xue Linglong's score was already high, and before Luo Tian was eliminated, she was the last one to attack him, so all of Luo Tian's points went to her, and she naturally became first.

When this ranking appeared, cheers erupted from the viewing platform.

Then, Sun Zhanglao looked at the dirt-covered Lin Zhaoran with disgust and said helplessly: "Second place, Lin Zhaoran."

As soon as the words were out, boos erupted from the platform, and some people even started cursing directly.

"What the hell? This is second? I don't accept it!"

"The shame of the Heavenly Frost Kingdom!"

However, no matter how much they cursed, it was useless.

"Third to fifth place, Bai Tianyu, Xiao Long." Sun Zhanglao was full of helplessness when reading these names.

And on the viewing platform, boos and curses erupted even more.

However, none of this affected the three, especially Xiao Long.

"Huh? I'm fifth? I just hid in the grass for a while, and I'm fifth?" Xiao Long was extremely excited.

Happiness came too suddenly.

"Alright, please have the other people in the top ten come up to receive their rewards," Sun Zhanglao said helplessly.

Afterward, under the guidance of a deacon, the other five in the top ten stepped onto the stage.

However, except for Luo Tian who walked up, the other four were carried up.

Among them, three had been slapped unconscious by Luo Tian and had not yet woken up.

The last person had been frozen by Xue Linglong and had nearly lost his life.

And when Luo Tian stepped onto the stage, a member of the Lu family in a certain part of the platform whispered: "Family Head, shall we strike now and kill that Luo Tian?"

The Lu Family Head frowned, glanced at a corner of the platform, and said: "Zhou Lao is here, do not act rashly! Let that kid live a little longer; once the Heavenly Frost Martial Tournament awards ceremony is over, we will strike."

"Yes!" The man retreated.

On the stage.

Seeing Luo Tian walk over, Xue Linglong's heartbeat could not help but accelerate.

"Xue Linglong, don't let your imagination run wild; he was just worried about offending Qixue Palace!" Xue Linglong kept telling herself, trying to calm down.

"Prepare for the awards ceremony." Sun Zhanglao couldn't be bothered with any procedures; he just wanted to end it as soon as possible.

But just at this moment...

"Wait!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Following that, two figures rushed out from two corners of the platform and landed on the high stage.

"Great Demon of Five Demon Ridge, Ding Zhanshan! Sect Master of White Cloud Sword Sect, Bai Fengping? What do you two want to do?" Sun Zhanglao frowned.

These two were both experts at the 9th Stage of the Return to Ruins Realm, and they held immense power.

If they were to cause trouble, it would be quite troublesome.

Bai Fengping cupped his hands and said: "Sun Zhanglao, I have no intention of offending! However, there are some things I must say."

"Sect Master Bai, please speak," Sun Zhanglao said.

Bai Fengping said: "The Heavenly Frost Martial Tournament is not only a martial competition for young people, representing the highest level of our Heavenly Frost Kingdom's younger generation, but it also represents the face of our Heavenly Frost Kingdom! Therefore, from any angle, the strongest person should occupy a higher ranking."

Ding Zhanshan also echoed: "That is true! Among these top ten, almost everyone is unworthy of the name! Just imagine, if they go out to travel in the future, and outsiders mistakenly think that our Heavenly Frost Kingdom's top geniuses are at this level, wouldn't that make us all lose face?"

Sun Zhanglao said: "Then in your opinion..."

Bai Fengping said: "Everyone knows that my disciple, Feng Feiyang, and Mo Sha of Five Demon Ridge are the most talented people in this tournament! But these two, due to accidents, failed to enter the top ten, which is a great regret..."

When he mentioned the accident, he glared fiercely at Luo Tian.

Ding Zhanshan continued: "The two of us have discussed it below; why not change the rules! Give these two true geniuses a chance, let them fight one more time, and the winner between the two will be the champion! And the rankings of the others will be shifted back."

As he spoke, he pointed at Luo Tian and said: "For example, this Luo Tian is currently seventh; after shifting back, he will be ninth. This will not only preserve the face of our Heavenly Frost Kingdom but also be fair!"
