Chapter 616: Chapter 356: The First Battle, Instant Kill the Opponent!_2
And after reaching the Fourth Order, the first case of an Evolutionist defeating a Superhuman in competition finally occurred.
It was a Water-based Superhuman, whose ability was to release water arrows. As a basic ability, it wasn’t strong, and Water-based Superpowers weren’t particularly good at attacking.
So the Fourth Order Peak Superhuman who was fighting against him, with Spiritual Body Protection, endured injuries to brace five water arrows before finally closing in on the Water-based Superhuman.
The Superhuman seemed to lack combat experience, and when his opponent got within three meters, he started to panic.
He tried to take advantage of the attack intervals to dodge, but was caught by the opponent, and then it came down to close-quarters combat.
As one might guess, it took only three punches for the Water-based Superhuman’s nasal bone to break, after which he had no choice but to admit defeat.
This match made many of the Evolutionists in the crowd cheer, as this was the best demonstration for them.
The excitement wasn’t limited to this fight alone; the level of vibrancy in the other matches was equally spectacular.
After all, most of those who could reach the Fourth Order had rich combat experience, and many of them were even military personnel. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Under such circumstances, how could the competition not be thrilling?
Of course, whether the matches were exciting or not, the time allotted was one hour.
When the hour was almost up, Ye Feng once again received a notification.
"I’m stepping out for a bit," said Ye Feng after reading the message.
"Big Pot! Go for it," Ye Rou was the first to shout.
Ye Xiangfeng and Wang Shuwen both looked at Ye Feng with a hint of worry on their faces.
They couldn’t help it; the news of Ye Feng breaking through to the Fifth Order had only just reached them, and then they looked at the analytical comments online. To say they weren’t worried would be an outright lie.
"Don’t worry, this is all trivial," Ye Feng gave everyone a reassuring look and then stepped out.
Upon arriving backstage, there was no doubt that he once again became the center of attention.
Instantly, he became the subject of fervent interviews by numerous reporters.
"Ye Feng, hello. The same question as before, do you still feel confident about taking the first place?" a reporter hastily inquired.
Not only the reporters surrounded him, but the other Fifth Order Strongmen backstage also turned their gaze toward him.
Being watched by more than a hundred Fifth Order Strongmen would make anyone feel immense pressure, but such pressure was nonexistent in front of Ye Feng.
He smiled slightly and said confidently, "Of course, I don’t believe there’s anyone here who can contest the first place with me."
As Ye Feng’s words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly cooled down. The reporters, who had a slew of questions, suddenly felt a chill down their backs and became speechless for a moment.
As for Ye Feng, it was as if nothing happened; he casually took out his participant card and handed it to the staff in front of him.
After registering, he sat down on the couch with an air of composure and waited.
Ye Feng’s brief interview unquestionably appeared on television and various live streaming platforms, sparking a huge buzz.
"Damn, that’s some confidence!" exclaimed someone immediately.
"Confidence is useless! Competing in the arena depends on strength, and to say such things in this setting, isn’t he afraid of getting beaten? Look at those reporters, they’re all trembling," someone else remarked.
"Hey! Right now, I’m only interested in one thing, and that’s the official potential ranking for Ye Feng. It impacts the kind of opponents he will face next," commented another.
As this comment was made, everyone’s attention was indeed diverted.
After all, the ranking was very important. Many had noticed that although the matchups were supposed to be random, they had never seen the strongman clashes in the earlier battles.
In other words, a higher ranking also meant facing weaker opponents.
Conversely, the same was true; a lower ranking meant facing stronger opponents.
The rankings of the others had already been set, but for someone like Ye Feng, who had broken through just before the competition, necessitating an adjustment, the ranking would also need to be updated.
It didn’t take long for the audience to wait. Soon, the official website updated, and the rankings of the 150 Fifth Order Strongmen were refreshed.
Ranked first was: Ye Feng!
"Shit! What hidden techniques does he have? Why would the officials still place him first under these circumstances?" someone immediately commented below.
"Haha! Look at the expressions of those Fifth Order Strongmen in the live broadcast. They look as if they’ve swallowed flies," laughed another.
Indeed, it wasn’t just the audience that paid attention to Ye Feng’s information; the competing participants were even more attentive.
After all, these rankings were supported by data and were not arranged at whim.
So when the ranking came out, apart from feeling disbelief and discomfort, there was also a sense of apprehension towards Ye Feng.
And the information published on the official website at that moment wasn’t only about the ranking.
There were also the rules for the Fifth Order competition.
Yes, the rules for the Fifth Order competition had actually changed.
"Darn it, how can the rules just change like this? Isn’t that a bit unfair to the participants from the earlier rounds?" a netizen immediately complained.
However, some more rational voices said, "Actually, this change isn’t that unreasonable. There were too many competitors before; they needed to eliminate most of them quickly to avoid dragging things out."
