SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family-Chapter 394 : Climbing The Pagoda
The next two days passed in a blur inside the secret realm as the competition pushed the remaining participants to their limits.
With every passing hour, the number of competitors dwindled as they fought fiercely to collect the required 100 points while navigating the dangerous jungle filled with powerful beasts.
Some had an easy time, quickly racking up their points through relentless battles, while others struggled, forced to be more cautious in their approach.
At the center of the secret realm, a massive pagoda towered above the treetops, its ancient structure radiating a strong presence.
This was the final destination for all participants.
By the second day, the first wave of competitors who had successfully gathered their 100 points arrived at the Pagoda and took their time to rest while waiting for the others.
Many of them were exhausted, their clothes torn, their bodies bruised, and their weapons dulled.
Some sat in meditation to recover their energy, while others simply lay down, enjoying the brief moment of peace after two days of relentless combat.
Xu Feiyu sat on a stone bench near the entrance of the Pagoda, his sword resting across his lap.
His silver hair was slightly messy, but his expression remained calm as he closed his eyes, sensing the auras around him.
He had been one of the first to arrive, finishing his point collection in record time.
Now, he waited, his mind sharp and alert.
"Hmm?"
His eyes snapped open, his senses honing in on a presence nearby.
A figure emerged from the forest, their footsteps light.
It was Fang Zixuan, his dark robes stained with blood and dirt.
"You made it," Xu Feiyu said, standing up.
"Indeed," Fang Zixuan nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Then both of them quieted down as Xu Feiyu went back to his spot while leaning against a tree with a lazy smirk on his face as he tried to recover before the next round started.
Next to come was Sun Yichen, who just nodded towards them before sitting down, his posture straight and his breathing steady.
Soon, a few more contestants arrived, all of them looking worse for wear.
They took their time, recovering from their ordeals.
More competitors trickled in throughout the day, all looking worn out yet relieved to have made it this far.
However, by the time the sun began to set on the second day, the numbers were clear.
Only 80 of the 100 participants had successfully reached the Pagoda.
The remaining 20 had either failed to collect enough points in time or had been forced out of the realm due to severe injuries, leading to automatic disqualification.
The judges, monitoring the competition, had stepped in when necessary to remove participants whose lives were in danger.
The disqualified participants were disappointed, but they had no choice but to accept their fate.

Meanwhile, inside the stadium, the crowd cheered as the final 80 competitors arrived at the Pagoda.
"Finally!"
"It's been two days, and this is the best part!"
"I've been on the edge of my seat since the beginning!"
The tension was high, and the anticipation was palpable.
Back inside the secret realm.
As the last competitor arrived, the leaderboard appeared in the sky above the Pagoda, listing the rankings based on time and points collected.
The crowd watching from the outside world gasped as they saw the results.
Final Leaderboard (Top 10):
Xu Feiyu (Xu Family) – 115 points (Fastest Completion Time)
Fang Zixuan (Fang Family) – 114 points
Sun Yichen (Sun Family) – 114 points
Xu Yuhao (Xu Family) – 113 points
Zhao Min (Zhao Family) – 110 points
Xu Lian (Xu Family) – 105 points
Lei Zhentian (Lei Family) – 105 points
Xu Meilin (Xu Family) – 104 points
Qiao Heng (Qiao Family) – 103 points
Chen Haoran (Chen Family) – 102 points
The Xu family had four members in the top ten, an impressive feat that solidified their dominance in this competition.
The audience outside exploded with excitement as the leaderboard flashed.
"Four Xu family members in the top ten?!"
"They really are on a different level!"
"I expected Fang Zixuan or Sun Yichen to take the top spot, but Xu Feiyu claimed first place with the fastest completion time! That's insane!"
"Xu Lian and Xu Meilin also made it? This competition is filled with monsters."
"This is truly an exciting development," one of the commentators exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"But it is still a massive achievement as none of the other people competing with them are weak!"
The other commentators laughed.
"They are not normal young masters," one of them remarked, shaking his head.
"Yes, the top 10 has always been the hardest to break through," the other added, his voice solemn.
As the final 80 competitors stood before the Pagoda, the pressure increased.
This was the deciding moment.
Who would emerge victorious and claim the coveted rewards?
"Congratulations," a calm voice echoed, drawing the attention of the competitors.
Elder Xu Yong slowly walked towards them, his expression serene.
"You have successfully made it to the final stage," he continued. "But the hardest part has yet to come."
His gaze swept over the group, his eyes sharp.
"Inside the Pagoda, the trials are waiting for you," he explained. "Each floor will be more challenging than the last. And once you reach the top, the rewards will be yours."
"Are there any rules?" Lei Zhentian asked.
Elder Xu Yong nodded. "Once you enter, the door will close. You cannot leave until you complete all the trials or are eliminated and sent back outside."
"And at the end, for all those who make it at the end, they will be able to challenge anyone above their ranking; if you win, then you will get the rewards from the new ranking.
Each person has three chances to challenge, and they are only allowed to challenge one person once. In the top 10 for them, they are able to decline the challenge 5 times. After that, they need to fight with the next challenger.
But you only need a five-win streak before you secure your position, so it is better to keep in mind that your spots can be taken after this last stage of climbing the pagoda is over."
