NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27: The Final Rule Is That There Are No Rules!
```
"This is the last one, it seems that due to the influence of the peak competition, all high-quality beasts in Xuanyuan City have been sold out!"
Zhou Wenlong and Ye Feng walked out of a store, the former feeling somewhat helpless.
He hadn't expected the peak competition to have such a significant impact on the industries within Xuanyuan City.
Not to mention beasts with seven-star talent or above, even six-star beasts were surprisingly scarce.
You should know that as one of the four main cities in the thirty-two cities of the Human Race's core territory, these beast shops usually have beasts with seven-star and even eight-star talent.
However, today the two visited nine shops and didn't see a single beast above seven-star, and even the few six-star beasts they found were of very average talent.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, we managed to purchase some elixirs that allow Beast Tamers and their beasts to improve," Ye Feng said.
He had spent all twenty million on hand, and Zhou Wenlong even advanced ten million Crystal Coins.
Still, even with thirty million Crystal Coins worth of resources, he wasn't sure if he could break through the Silver and advance to Gold.
As for the Titan Giant Ape, breaking through to the Platinum Realm might still rely on his talent, and these resources were just to push it to level nine Gold Realm; it wasn't even certain if that would be enough.
After finishing their purchases, the two went to the hotel arranged by Xuanyuan City and parted ways. In six days, early in the morning, they were to follow the main force to the finals venue in the east of Xuanyuan City, the Level Six Secret Realm.
Therefore, Zhou Wenlong also tactfully did not continue to bother Ye Feng and let him rest and recover during this period.
...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Within two hours, Ye Feng's aura surged again and again, breaking through from level three Silver Realm to level eight Silver Realm, just as he had anticipated, he didn't manage to break through to Gold Realm.
On the other side, the Titan Giant Ape, now reduced to the height of Ye Feng, was also breaking through at the same time!
However, its breakthrough was more difficult compared to Ye Feng's.
Out of thirty million Crystal Coins worth of resources, twenty-five million were for the Titan Giant Ape's breakthrough!
"Boom!" a loud noise followed.
A massive wave of air swept the surroundings, but fortunately, the hotel arranged by Xuanyuan City was of very high quality. Their accommodations, whether in terms of size or sound insulation, were much higher than those of ordinary Beast Tamers' hotels, and the room also had defensive formations.
This minimized the impact of the Titan Giant Ape's breakthrough.
"Thump thump thump thump!"
The Titan Giant Ape pounded its chest with its fists, let out a roar, but did not howl up at the sky.
At this moment, the Titan Giant Ape completed its breakthrough, using up all the resources, breaking through from level three Gold Realm to level seven Gold Realm, one level lower than Ye Feng's cultivation level.

Innate Talent Skill: World-covering Divine Dragon
Looking at the Titan Giant Ape's panel, the Infinite Gravity and Strength Amplification had both seen significant increases, which was undoubtedly good news to Ye Feng.
After all, the enhancement of an Imperial Beast's strength was a crucial factor in the competition for the championship. However, his concern had materialized as the Titan Giant Ape did not advance to the level nine Gold Realm.
Even though he understood that it was increasingly difficult to raise an Imperial Beast's Cultivation Level as they progressed, and it often required a colossal amount of resources, upon seeing twenty-five million Crystal Coins spent, only to raise the Titan Giant Ape to level seven of the Gold Realm, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
...
Six days later, Ye Feng and Zhou Wenlong, following the large troop of competing teams, headed to the outskirts of the Secret Realm to the east of Xuanyuan City.
Tens of thousands of contestants and their companions formed an impressive convoy.
Meanwhile, outside the Level Six Secret Realm, many spectators from all over the Human Federation were already there.
For this event, Xuanyuan City had cleared hundreds of thousands of meters of forest to make space for these people to move about.
As one of the four main cities within the heartland of the Human Race, there weren't any powerful Imperial Beasts outside the city, which also meant many spectators weren't worried about their safety.
Unlike the participants from the various base cities, some SS-grade talents from the main cities had already appeared outside the Secret Realm by this time, each accompanied by varying numbers of young people.
There was no doubt that these youths were the first-place winners from the main cities' various districts in the preliminaries.
Just then, a voice from afar energized the audience, who promptly turned their gazes toward the distance.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
"Holy shit, there must be over ten thousand people!"
"It's not just the competing students; there are also their companions!"
Ye Feng remained silent and undisturbed among the crowd of students.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the Secret Realm, Zhou Wenlong and other accompanying personnel left the student group and moved towards a specially allocated open area.
"Hm?"
At that moment, Ye Feng's eyebrows raised as he felt a sharp presence rapidly approaching from behind; he slowly turned around to look.
In an instant, their gazes collided in the air.
Wang Hu grinned and flashed a smile at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng did not respond, just turned away. It seemed he had indeed caught the attention of this talent, hailed as the most likely to contend for the championship in this peak competition.
After Wang Hu's gaze landed on Ye Feng, it didn't take long for Ye Feng to feel more and more eyes settling on him.
If he could have information about others, naturally, they could have information about him as well.
...
"Swoosh!"
Just then, an elder appeared out of nowhere on the open ground in front of the Secret Realm, and at the same time, several figures also appeared on the stands that had been prepared beforehand.
"I won't waste time with drivel; let's get down to the final rules!"
The elder spoke slowly, his aged voice mixed with a trace of divine might, echoing in everyone's ears.
"The rules for this year's finals..."
The elder glanced indifferently at the students before him. It was as if in an instant everyone had been scanned, and under his gaze, any secret seemed to have No Escape, causing the complexions of the students to change.
"There are no rules!"
"What!"
The elder's words directly caused a commotion among the students, spectators, and accompanying competitors alike.
