Around the Illusory Slaughter Stage, most of the courtyard students who had received the news rushed over at this time, just in time to witness the results that were about to be announced on the ranking stone.
Buzz!
Only to see that on the stone wall, suddenly runic light flashed.
And at the bottom, the name called Chen Dahammer actually slowly faded away, as if it had been erased by an invisible force.
Immediately afterward, the words 'Lin Hao' steeply surfaced.
"Lin Hao's name has appeared!"
Seeing this scene, everyone stretched their necks, their gazes tightly fixed.
They all knew that Lin Hao's appearance on the ranking stone meant that the next step was to rush the list!
Just as they expected, after about a few breaths of silence.
That name of Lin Hao at the very bottom fluctuated violently, and it finally started to power up!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Under the gaze of countless gazes, Lin Hao's name, like a wildly running beast, directly scurried upwards towards the very top of the ranking stone.
Just before the crowd could be surprised, Lin Hao had already surpassed Yan Fengjun, who was ranked 788, directly squeezing him down a place.
However, Lin Hao's momentum still hadn't weakened by half, and with the help of the runic light, he kept moving upwards.
"Over, Lin Hao's bet has won!"
Seeing this, the gazes of the crowd flickered.
That look was as if they felt a sense of entitlement.
After all, at the beginning, Lin Hao's battle performance at the Illusory Slaughter Stage had already prepared their hearts.
As for Yan Fengjun in the crowd, when he saw that his ranking had lowered, although his heart had a little bit of displeasure, his eyes, on the contrary, became more and more burning.
"That bastard Yan Chen must be topped as well!"
His eyes blazed as he stared at the ranking stone, a trace of perverted exuberance on his face.
He couldn't wait to see the kind of thrill he felt when his own half-brother, his royal brother, was brushed off the top spot on the list.
In the end, Lin Hao's momentum, indeed, lived up to his expectations, and he rushed to the top, hard squeezing out Yan Chen's name and steadily occupying the top spot.
At the same time, Lin Hao's name, too, steeply became several times bigger, and flashed with a scarlet-red light that was eye-catching and dazzling.
The new king of the Illusory Slaughter Stage was finally born at this moment!
"First place!"
"Heavens! He really did it!"
"This is unbelievable!!!"
Everyone present, when they saw where Lin Hao's ranking was located, a sound of sucking in cold air rang out.
A shocked shriek was also unending.
One had to know that Yan Chen's name had already been on the ranking stone, dominating the list for almost two years.
And that kind of process, it wasn't a one-time squeeze to the top of the list, during which it had gone through a total of more than ten times before such an achievement was made.
However, today, Lin Hao had only just come to the Illusory Killing Platform to test his cultivation, but he had instantly rushed to the top of the list.
This guy, what a demon!
Of course, there was still a small portion of them, their eyes still staring at the ranking stone, seemingly unable to believe the ranking results displayed on the stone wall.
"This ranking stone shouldn't have a problem, right? Even though Lin Hao possesses the ultimate cultivation talent, he's blind, so where is his comprehensive battle power so impressive!"
"It can't be, the ranking stone was cast by the first dean who founded the Heavenly Diffusion Academy back then, and it hasn't had any problems for so many years."
For a while, there were questions and rebuttals in the crowd, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
As Lin Hao walked down the Illusory Killing Stage, only then did these voices of discussion stop.
Everyone's gazes all converged on Lin Hao's body at once.
For this new king of the Illusory Slaughter Stage Ranking List, they were all in awe.
"Brother Hao, your battle power is simply beyond my imagination."
Gu Yunle immediately walked over excitedly, a look of adoration on his face.
"Here, this is your trophy."
Immediately, he handed over both the black yu knife and the ten thousand gold card in his hand to Lin Hao.
"Thanks a lot."
Lin Hao smiled blandly, and then unceremoniously transferred the 80 million or so deposits in the Wanjin card to his own card as much as he could.
As for that black yu knife, Lin Hao only felt a bit chilly when he entered his hand, and a dark aura fluctuation pervaded vaguely.
"It's a good knife."
After slightly sensing the material of the black yu knife, Lin Hao secretly nodded his head.
Originally, he just wanted to come to the Illusory Killing Stage to cultivate today, but he didn't expect to make a big profit instead.
This trip was worth it.
"Lin Hao, you're an admirable martial arts prodigy, this time I'm willing to gamble and lose, the loot belongs to you."
At this time, Yan Fengjun, however, walked over with a smile on his face, praising Lin Hao in his words.
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd was stunned.
They couldn't help but feel in their hearts that this second prince's change of face was also too fast.
Earlier, he was still badmouthing Lin Hao, but unexpectedly, he was now so polite.
Just what kind of drama was this?
For Yan Fengjun's sudden change, Lin Hao was also quite surprised, secretly keeping an extra eye out in case the former played any plots.
"In a few days, it will be the winter sun season, and my elder brother, the Grand Prince, and I will be organizing a banquet in Captain Wang's mansion, and you're specially invited to go and participate in it."
"I suddenly remembered that I still have a few things to do, so I'll leave it at that."
After saying that, Yan Fengjun also didn't give Lin Hao time to reply or refuse, and immediately turned around and left.
With this kind of approach, even if the people around were stupid, they could see it.
The second prince undoubtedly saw Lin Hao's ability and wanted to turn an enemy into a friend, throwing out an olive branch.
"Tsk tsk, the grand prince is the most powerful person among the many princes today, Lin Hao is gathering with the grand prince for a banquet, he's going to leap over the dragon gate this time."
All of a sudden, many astonished gazes were cast on Lin Hao's body, all feeling incomparably envious of the latter's fortune.
"Brother Hao, not bad, coming out from the Illusory Killing Stage, you were able to impress this narrow-minded second prince."
Gu Yunle reached out and patted Lin Hao's shoulder, saying with a smile.
"Hehe, impress ..."
Lin Hao smiled blandly and said, "If it's a Hongmen Banquet, that's a different story."
"Hongmen Banquet?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunle's pair of big eyes blinked lightly, asking rather curiously, "What is that thing? Is it good?"
Lin Hao shook his head with a smile, how could people in this world know about the so-called 'Hongmen Banquet' that was widely rumored in the previous world.
To put it simply, it was actually a banquet that contained conspiracies or bad intentions.
This kind of banquet, if you go, no matter what things only have to obey.
Otherwise, what one would face would be the disaster of killing one's own body.
He knows, since the crown prince died for no reason of the emperor, now the various factions within the palace of the storm clouds, the princes in order to fight for the throne, has developed to the point of fratricide.
The competition for the throne of all generations has always been incomparably cruel, and if one stands in the wrong position, it will lead to absolutely no good end.
Lin Hao naturally didn't want to get into this mess.
"I still have some things to do, we'll talk about it another day."
Due to the crowded surroundings, Lin Hao didn't explain too much to Gu Yunle, and after saying hello, he left the place alone.
Unbeknownst to him, due to him winning the leading position at the top of the Ranking Stone Ranking List, the people present had already used a sound transmission note to pass the news out.
As the news spread, this public opinion also instantly erupted throughout the entire Heavenly Diffusion Academy.
Therefore, at this moment, there was a figure that was running towards the Illusory Slaughter Stage here, intending to witness whether or not the name on the Ranking Stone was true.
