Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 575 - 570: Rule Change
The First Hall Master paused momentarily before adding, "In light of the availability of the Source Secret Realm's slots, the Four Great Powers have discussed and agreed that the age restriction for the current Talent List Martial Arts Tournament will be altered from the original requirement of being under thirty to allowing those under thirty-five to participate. Additionally, all participants must have reached the Golden Core Realm!"
This new rule immediately caused a huge uproar.
"What, now those under thirty-five can join? Isn't that loosening the age restriction by a whole five years?"
"With this change, those monsters from the previous Genius Ranking might be able to compete now."
"That's not the main point. Before, it was anyone under thirty regardless of their realm, but now it has to be a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm to take part in this Talent List Martial Dao Conference!"
"Doesn't this mean that those geniuses who are below the Golden Core Realm are out of luck?"
The crowd was somewhat shocked; the rule change came suddenly and unexpectedly, requiring one to be a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.
Of course, everyone could understand why—the Source Secret Realm was only effective for those in the Golden Core Realm, and it was useless for anyone in other realms to enter.
Ye Feng, however, frowned. Only Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm could enter?
This made things difficult for him. His realm still appeared to be at the Peak Martial King, and though his strength had increased, his realm hadn't shown any sign of change. These people wouldn't exclude him from the Talent List Martial Arts Conference, would they?
As Ye Feng pondered, Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng.
"Do you think these rules will affect Brother Ye? This guy seems to still be at the Martial King Peak!"
Chi Jark kept reconfirming Ye Feng's realm through his aura, certain that Ye Feng was at the Peak Martial King level, his expression growing more and more peculiar.
Xiao Rulong was also confirming Ye Feng's realm and said with a shake of his folding fan, "Truly at the Martial King Peak. I thought Brother Ye would have some realm changes after coming out from the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, but unexpectedly, he's still at the Martial King Peak."
"But I've never seen a Martial King Peak who can withstand the oppressive force of the Yin-Yang Realm in my life. I'm starting to suspect that Ye Feng is concealing his realm."
Xiao Rulong was certain that Ye Feng was hiding his realm, but Chi Jark interjected, "Impossible. We are both in the Golden Core Realm. If Ye Feng were to hide his realm from us, he would have to be a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm."
Chi Jark was incredulous, feeling that it was unlikely for Ye Feng to be hiding his realm from them. Generally, one could not conceal their realm's aura unless their realm was higher than the observer's.
"But what if he really is a supreme powerhouse of the Yin-Yang Realm?"
Xiao Rulong spoke again, in a somber tone.
These words caused Chi Jark to freeze, and Xiao Rulong's statement echoed in his mind.
Right, what if Ye Feng truly was a Yin-Yang Realm Great Power from the start?
What if from the beginning he had disguised himself as a twenty-six-year-old Peak Martial King, gradually revealing his strength bit by bit? Giving the appearance of a true genius, a real heaven-sent talent with extraordinary gifts, but in reality, he was an old monster from the Yin-Yang Realm in disguise?
Chi Jark was dumbfounded on the spot, then shook his head firmly and said to Xiao Rulong, "Nonsense, impossible. If Ye Feng really is an old demon from the Yin-Yang Realm, how do you explain the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?"
Xiao Rulong coughed lightly and said with his folding fan, "It seems so indeed. You have to be a Golden Core Grandmaster or below and under fifty years of age to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."
If Ye Feng was truly an old demon from the Yin-Yang Realm, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm at that time. Yet, they had seen with their own eyes Ye Feng enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and although no one saw him there, they had watched him emerge from the Gate of Whirlpool. The Gate of Whirlpool in the Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm couldn't be opened simply by a Yin-Yang Realm individual.
"There are twenty days left. I believe some people, even if they haven't reached the Golden Core Realm yet, are not far off. Twenty days is enough time to break through."
"In twenty days, anyone wishing to attend the Talent List Martial Arts Conference or participate in the selection can come before Xuanyuan Hall. At that time, I will personally escort people to the site of the conference," announced the First Hall Master, leaving some instructions. After taking a couple more glances at Ye Feng, he flew back inside Xuanyuan Hall.
For a moment, in front of Xuanyuan Hall, many people began to transmit messages, spreading the news of the new rules for the selection of the Talent List Martial Arts Conference.
Many people also started to leave the front of the Yin-Yang Temple. Golden Cicada looked at Ye Feng gravely and left with the Buddhist Sect's disciples.
Previously, he had thought about settling scores with Ye Feng on behalf of the Buddhist Sect after coming out of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, as he hadn't seen Ye Feng in the Spirit Essence Pool and guessed that Ye Feng wouldn't have gained much strength. But he had broken through in the Spirit Essence Pool, and his strength had greatly increased.
Dealing with Ye Feng, who hadn't entered the Spirit Essence Pool, should have been no problem!
However, he had not anticipated that upon exiting the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, he'd find Ye Feng to be even stronger than before!
To think that Ye Feng could even withstand the suppression from Hong Wuji, a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm of the Fourth Hall Masters. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't have had the confidence to withstand it.
With such strength, it's better not to provoke him lightly for now.
As the people from the Buddhist Sect left, the members of the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts also dispersed one after another. Their strongest at the moment was the Golden Cicada from the Buddhist Sect. Since Golden Cicada did not wish to trouble Ye Feng, they were not foolish enough to send themselves to their death by confronting him.
Soon, only Bu Tianyun from the Bu Family had not left. However, as Bu Tianyun looked at Ye Feng, his gaze was filled with jealousy. He didn't linger long and left as well.
Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian finally came over, with Xiao Chuanqi looking particularly excited.
"My Lord, you truly live up to your reputation. Even the Fourth Hall Master had no way of dealing with you, so domineering!"
Xiao Chuanqi was incredibly excited, acting as if he was the one who had stood up to the Fourth Hall Master.
Ye Feng felt rather helpless and rolled his eyes at Xiao Chuanqi. What was with this guy lately? His strength had not made any progress, yet his ability to kiss up had greatly improved. Sometimes, Ye Feng really wanted to sew this guy's mouth shut.
On the other hand, Sima Zhantian did not come over to Ye Feng's side but walked up to Sausage Sister with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would come to the Outer Battlefield too."
Sausage Sister looked at Sima Zhantian's simple smile, failed to recognize him and let out a chuckle, speaking casually, "Of course I had to come. I wanted to see whether you would get eaten by an alien beast out here in the Outer Battlefield."
"If you get eaten, I'll collect your corpse and take it back to Xuanyuan Nation."
Sausage Sister smirked mischievously.
Sima Zhantian was somewhat dumbfounded and then felt slightly annoyed, "Hey, you actually hope for my death; are you even human? How could those alien beasts be a match for me?"
"I'd just need to wield my Immortal Blade, and I could easily cut those little bugs to pieces!"
Sima Zhantian's expression was full of contempt, as if he truly did not see alien beasts as his equals.
At this moment, Xiao Chuanqi stood out to burst his bubble, "Look at you, Sima Zhantian. You didn't say that when we encountered the Azure Crazy Python. You fled as soon as you put away your blade. Running away is one thing, but damn it, you didn't even bother to tell me. Are you even human?"
Xiao Chuanqi was clearly angry, and it didn't seem like he was just putting on an act.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Sima Zhantian with great interest.
The Azure Crazy Python was an alien beast close to the Golden Core Realm. Although it was not a true Golden Core Realm alien beast, its defensive power could match that of a Golden Core Realm beast.
Usually, those at Half-Step Golden Core were no match for the Azure Crazy Python. Both Sima Zhantian and Xiao Chuanqi were aware of this fact, and that's why they ran away immediately upon encountering the Azure Crazy Python.
Bearing the brunt of Xiao Chuanqi's rapid-fire humiliation, Sima Zhantian's face turned red, and he continued to cough lightly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
The crowd burst into laughter again, and the tense atmosphere previously dominated by the Fourth Hall Master became lively once more.
Zhao Xuanzhen watched Ye Feng and the others with a smile, and was also shocked by the strength Ye Feng had shown earlier.
There was also the somewhat mysterious Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong. The strength of these three individuals was probably beyond everyone's imagination.
Zhao Xuanzhen contemplated in his heart. However, this was the outcome he hoped to see, for he was well aware that great chaos was approaching, and there was not much time left for the younger generation.
"My Lord, I have a question about the strength between the various Hall Masters."
Ye Feng approached Zhao Xuanzhen.
He was curious to know why the Third Hall Master, who also held the rank of Hall Master Level, seemed to be not a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm but was at best a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm. Even after taking an Explosive Element Pill, his strength did not break through to the level of a Golden Core Grandmaster.

Was that truly the strength of the previous Third Hall Master?
Then why was the Fourth Hall Master so powerful?
Zhao Xuanzhen glanced at Ye Feng and chuckled, "I know what you want to ask. The previous Third Hall Master was only because he had taken over the position from the previous Hall Master. However, his own strength actually did not meet the requirements for a Hall Master."
"The position of a Hall Master in the Xuanyuan Hall is actually hereditary, chosen by the former Hall Master to select the next successor. Generally, they would pick a super Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm to take over, but the previous Third Hall Master couldn't wait for a new Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm to emerge from the Li Family and died, so they could only select a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm from the Li Family to fill the position."
"But as you know, a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm has no say at all among the Hall Masters, so now, the disappearance of a Third Hall Master won't have much impact."
In the end, these words were privately conveyed to Ye Feng by Zhao Xuanzhen's spirit sound transmission. These matters did not need to be known by too many, and among those present, aside from Zhao Xuanzhen, only Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong, the two individuals from the Ancient Clans, were aware.
