Eternal Thief

In an unknown part of the middle region,

"Fourth Elder, do you think that brat is eaten by some beast?" A cloaked figure asked in a vexed voice, as they were six other cloaked figures sitting inside a cave.

Fourth Elder replied with an uncertain tone, "Sixth Elder, my guess is as good as yours. We've been searching for over two months now, but that Feng brat had completely vanished into thin air, nor did he appear in the ranking. I don't think with his prowess, it would be hard for him to enter the top hundred, but it seemed something went wrong."

Another voice a woman sounded with a hint of rage, "If that brat wanted to die he should just let us refine him. How long has it been since a fully awaken soul realm bloodline had appeared? Now it had fallen into some livestock's stomachs. How could we face the clan leader like this?!"

'Sigh…' an old voice sighed before it rang, "Fifth Elder, there's no need to fret over spill milk anymore. It was our fault to lose sight of him in the first place. Furthermore, looking at the bright sight, those other three clans also didn't find him either, or they won't be searching around aimlessly like us."

"Heh, Seventh Elder is right. The fourth elder and I were just bumped into two elders of the Evil Blade Clan the other day, and they also seemed quite anxious by their tone. As long as that brat didn't fall into other clans' clutches, it's fine to return empty hand." Another voice of a woman rang.

"I guess you're right, Eighth Elder. I was just a little angry about losing this chance. But we still can't give up before this phase of the competition end." Fifth Elder replied helplessly.

The Fourth Elder's voice rang again in reply. "It's only natural. We can't give up so easily. Who knows if that brat is hiding somewhere or trapped in some beast cave? Furthermore, there is still a deeper area of the middle region that remains untouched, so we can't give up."

Seventh Elder's old voice sounded in agreement, "Just as Fourth Elder says we still have some parts of the middle region to search and our servants of the earth troll race will also send their report tomorrow, we should wait before planning our next move."

Eight Elder spoke again at this moment with a hint of anticipation in her voice, "The ranking is about to refresh again, let's see if Young Lord Alaric had overthrown that brat from the wild tribe and took the fifth poison!"

Everyone seemed to momentarily forget about Feng as the Fourth Elder took out a white wristband that wasn't for participants, but was only for observers to see the ranking.

The competition ranking will change every twenty-four hours, and everyone would see the top hundred participants progress daily and want to enter it.

Just as the white wristband in the Fourth Elder's hand activate, a white display was materialized, and they all saw the ranking which had just changed.

1. Jaxx Wild Wind: 24,230 Kill Points

2. Ramiro Wild Lion: 19,040 Kill Points

3. Peter Silver Blade: 18,500 Kill Points

4. Alora Wild Yisrael: 16,940 Kill Points

5. Eliezer Evil Blade: 12,200 Kill Points

6. Thomas Wild Cheveyo: 11,130 Kill Points

7. Alaric Green Blade: 8,800 Kill Points

8. Feng Demon Sword: 8,000

9. Miya Evil Blade: 6,900 Kill Points

10. Carlee Wild Violent: 6,300 Kill Points

11. Anton Fire Blade: 5,900 Kill Points

12. Bren Evil Blade: 5,400 Kill Points

13. …

Everyone in the cave's eyes suddenly widened with hysteria and shout in unison.

<strong>"It's that brat!"  </strong>

---

The same reaction was all over the shadow mountain range at this moment when everyone saw the forgotten Rising Sword Earl had appeared out of the blue and took 8th place within a day!

The most shocked were obviously those diamond river core cultivators from the four-blade clans who were searching for Feng high and low for over two months, but to no avail.

However, now that brat had turned up, and he caused a tremendous commotion after appearing. Nonetheless, they all instantly sprang into action and quickly started to search madly for Feng.

This had turned into a race about who'll be able to find him first.

Furthermore, those youths on the list of the top hundred also felt threatened after seeing another powerful competitor appearing out of the blue. Especially the wild tribes, and they all started to madly hunt for demonic beasts and participants alike!

In the crown of a large tree, a burst of joyous laughter rang at this moment,

"Hahaha… brother Feng, you really had me worried about a moment here, but it seemed I had to worry about my position snatching at you now. What an unabashed fellow…"

---

In another part of the middle region,

A handsome youth was calmly looking at the new ranking and muttered coolly, "Feng Demon Sword, huh? It seemed Thomas had some talent for picking dogs, but alas, you chose the wrong side… you both did…."

---

Another handsome young demon was breathing heavily as there was a wolf-like demonic beast corpse beside him who was cut into two halves.

He looked at the ranking as his crimson eyes glow fiercely, "Heh, as expected of someone who I deemed my rival, I won't let you suppress me and those wild animals so easily!"

---

Inside a random cave in the middle region,

"Young Lady, it's another genius from the mainland and his talent rumored to be on par with Prince Peter." A panicked voice of a young girl rang at this moment.

In reply a crisp voice sounded with a hint of fiery temper, "Carlee, stop being a worrywart all the time. Let those men fight each other. In the end, I'll be the one who reaps the most reward. I just required a demonic core of fire-type demonic beast and my Upper Earth Grade Secret Skill would reach the perfection, and I'll be invincible under river core realm!"
