"You fool, you did it. That result belongs to you."
"The Heavenly Eyes — what an extraordinary ability. The Mental Power required for them is extremely high."
"Even though you've never specifically trained your Mental Power, you've been cultivating the Heavenly Eyes all along. As your mastery over the Heavenly Eyes grew stronger, your Mental Power has long since become incredibly powerful." Eggie explained.
"So what you're saying is, I really did win? I won with my own strength, not just luck?" Chu Feng said, quite delighted.
"That's right. That was your true ability," Eggie said with firm certainty, and at the same time, a sweet smile of joy spread across her lovely face.
"Haha." Hearing Eggie's words, Chu Feng was thrilled beyond measure. Even he hadn't realized that his Mental Power had already grown so powerful without him noticing.
But thinking about it more carefully, it did make sense. Mental Power was the foundation of all perception, and no matter how formidable the Heavenly Eyes were, they relied on Mental Power as their support. Although Chu Feng hadn't yet fully mastered the Heavenly Eyes, he had already reached a considerable level of proficiency. If his Mental Power weren't strong enough, how could it possibly sustain such a powerful ability?
But none of that mattered anymore. What mattered was… he had won.
"Does anyone else wish to continue the competition?" At that moment, Zhou Sitian spoke up.
As for the result, naturally no one responded…
If the achievements of the Zhou siblings had already seemed insurmountable, then the result Wang Qiang had created was a display of extraordinary talent. As for the result Chu Feng had achieved, it was nothing short of a miraculous feat — something on the level of a god.
Before a feat on the level of a god, who would be foolish enough to step forward and challenge it?
"Since no one wishes to continue, then this Mental Power competition ends here."
After finishing his words, Zhou Sitian walked into the formation. When he emerged once more, he appeared to be holding something in his right hand. He then continued:
"Now, I shall announce the results of this Mental Power competition."
"First place — Seal Ancient Village, Zhou Long."
"Second place — Seal Ancient Village, Zhou Hu."
"Third place — Seal Ancient Village, Zhou Feng."
"Whaaaat~~~~~~"
The moment those words left his mouth, the crowd erupted into an uproar. Not only the guests like Chu Feng, but even the people of Seal Ancient Village were filled with shock.
Everyone was stunned, unable to make sense of the situation. Wasn't Chu Feng supposed to be first?
Wasn't Wang Qiang supposed to be second?
Zhou Long was at best third — how had he suddenly become first? And second and third were Zhou Hu and Zhou Feng?
Was he treating everyone here as blind? Even if he wanted to abuse his power for personal gain, this was far too blatant.
"Vice Village Chief, what are you doing?" Suddenly, Grandpa Song spoke up.
Although he was a member of Seal Ancient Village, he could not tolerate such openly unfair conduct from the Vice Village Chief.
After all, so many people were watching. By doing this, wasn't he practically dragging the reputation of Seal Ancient Village through the mud?
"Silence! When I'm speaking, did I ask for your input? Did I ask for your opinion? Who do you think you are, to dare lecture me?" Before Grandpa Song could even finish his sentence, Zhou Sitian let out an angry shout.
Faced with Zhou Sitian's fury, Grandpa Song was taken aback. Though unwilling to yield, he didn't dare say another word.
Zhou Sitian's strength far surpassed his own, and his status was incomparably higher. Nearly everyone knew that Zhou Sitian would soon be formally appointed as the Village Chief of Seal Ancient Village. At that point, he would practically be the one who held absolute power within the entire village. So Grandpa Song didn't dare oppose him in front of so many people. He could only silently fall quiet and bow his head.
"Hmph." After Grandpa Song fell silent, Zhou Sitian let out a smug snort before continuing:
