First Place Of Second Round Of Eastern Gathering

Just as Tianlong Qi was savoring the moment, letting his thoughts drift to the rewards he was sure awaited him, a murmur began to ripple through the crowd. 

Eyes darted to the Heavenly Projection Crystal as the image shifted, refocusing on the face of the contestant who had broken through the formation.

A moment of stunned silence fell over the hall.

It wasn't Tianlong Ping or Tianlong Yu.

It was Feng Yun.

Eyes widened in shock as the image on the Heavenly Projection Crystal focused clearly, revealing Feng Yun standing triumphantly amidst the broken remnants of the Rank-2 Formation.

What caught everyone's attention even more was the roaring inferno that surrounded him, flames so intense that they painted the air with waves of heat.

The flames danced wildly, casting brilliant shades of crimson and gold, yet Feng Yun's expression was one of utter calm.
