C603 The Battle for the Imperial Ranking List Begins
Along with the loud shouts of the judges from the various rings, "Battle of Imperial Rankings, begin!
On each arena, numerous figures flew up from different directions.
On each arena, there was no order to speak of. Whoever got on the stage first and announced their name would be the vanguard. As long as they won ten matches consecutively, he would smoothly enter the second round.
The others could go up whenever they wanted, but the first round would only last for half a month. In half a month, no participants would be considered to have forfeited.
As each and every Earthly Sovereign entered the arena, a series of rumbling battle waves continuously erupted.
The ten arenas were immediately filled with intense collisions. Smoke rose in all directions as the audience cried out in alarm.
Ling Xiao and the others did not immediately go on stage. Instead, they stood in a corner and paid attention to the fight.
Ye Yunfeng couldn't help but say, "Young master, let's go too!
Xuan Yao had set a goal for him to enter the top 100. Initially, he didn't think it was possible, but after a year of quiet cultivation, his strength had improved once again. Moreover, he had obtained the high grade Profound Skill given to him by Evil Monarch and the Spirit Rising Spell from his family. Now, he had the confidence to enter the top 100.
Although the Spirit Rising Spell had a huge flaw, Once he'd used it for three days, he'd lost all of his spiritual energy, but now the problem was solved for the time being.
Because Feng Xianyun could use the ancient acupuncture technique to make his weak body recover again.
However, the pain that one needed to endure was not something that an ordinary person could endure. Moreover, it could only be used twice a month at most. In other words, Ye Yunfeng could only use the Spirit Rising Spell twice in a month. Otherwise, if he used it again, it would exceed the burden of his body and cause great damage to his body.
The best way was that Ye Yunfeng could gain some understanding in this war and improve the Spirit Rising Spell of Ye Family as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to continue like this.
"I will let you fight, but we hope you can see the strength of these people clearly. Otherwise, you will only be at a disadvantage." Ling Xiao replied, but his eyes were fixed on the number one arena.
On the number one arena, a young man holding a long spear looked at his opponent with disdain. "I, Zhong Tong, can defeat you in one move!
On the other side of Zhong Tong was another Earth Emperor of Middle Rank. This Earthly Sovereign looked to be in his fifties, and his fiery aura was extremely strong. He had won two matches in a row just now, and he had defeated his opponent in one move. However, his opponents just now were only at the Earth Emperor of Low Rank realm, and they weren't on the same level.
When the Earth Emperor of Middle Rank heard Zhong Tong's arrogance, he immediately shouted coldly, "What's the point of saying that you don't want to practice? If you have any powerful moves, just come at me. I can also kill you with a single move.
After that Earth Emperor of Middle Rank shouted, he immediately took the initiative to attack. The long sword in his hand shook out countless sword lights, instantly covering Zhong Tong. Streams of sword Qi transformed into several Spirit Beast shapes, roaring towards Zhong Tong.
The powerful energy shook the defensive formation, causing it to tremble slightly.
This attack was almost a full force attack from a peak Earth Emperor of Middle Rank warrior. This man's combat strength should belong to the middle and upper levels of the same level.
However, Zhong Tong appeared to be extremely disdainful when facing this attack. Layers of Nether Protection Force that were like an iron wall surrounded his body, and numerous images of iron armored beasts appeared and blocked those sword energies.
The people around him let out cries of surprise.
"This is the unique secret art of the Zhong Family, Bronze Iron Body Protection Art!
"That's right. It says that their cultivation method needs to absorb the iron armored beast's beast blood to assist in cultivating to the large success stage. Once it is large success, their defense is comparable to high-grade medicinal Profound Artifacts, or even low-grade spirit artifacts.
"Look at Zhong Tong's defense, it's almost at the Great Completion Stage realm. No wonder he's so fearless.
...
"Not bad, but it's a pity that it's useless against me!" Zhong Tong said with a faint voice. The long spear in his hand spun rapidly, and an ash-colored spear light shot towards the Earth Emperor of Middle Rank like a bolt of lightning.
That Earth Emperor of Middle Rank retreated quickly, and at the same time, he was about to summon his Protective Spirit Beast.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Tong's move was just a feint. His true killing move was to charge forward from the back.
He leaped into the air and transformed into a thorn that was smashed into. The powerful energy forced the surrounding air to rumble.
The Earth Emperor of Middle Rank quickly gave up on summoning the Spirit Beast. He raised his sword horizontally and blocked the spear shadow.
Clang! Clang!
Puff!
The Earth Emperor of Middle Rank felt a sweet taste in his throat. The long sword in his hand was sent flying by the powerful energy, and his entire body was sent flying out of the arena.
Zhong Tong descended from the sky. He flicked his hair lightly. His expression was extremely arrogant as he said, "Who else is going to challenge this young master!
Zhong Tong had forcefully suppressed his opponent with this move. His strength was comparable to an ordinary Earth Emperor of High Rank's attack.
However, even though this move of his was strong, it couldn't stop the desire of the various emperors to fight for the title.
"I, Zhu Kun, will meet you, little kid!" An old man that was around seventy years old shouted out, and he carried a pair of sickle qi as he leapt onto the arena.
"The various secret techniques of Central Region are indeed formidable!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but praise when he noticed Zhong Tong's defensive Profound Skill.
"These are only considered middle-level secret arts. Once you encounter those outstanding geniuses of the eighteen major powers, you will be able to broaden your horizons!" Xuan Yao chimed in from the side.
"Yes, let's observe the situation of the other arenas. Later, we will split up and fight on the other arenas. This way, we will avoid bumping into our own people too early," Ling Xiao replied softly. His gaze landed on the second, third, and fourth arenas.
On these three arenas, the ones who were in charge were surprisingly the Ming Family's three sisters.
The three of them had excellent charm and graceful figures. They danced up and down continuously like beautiful dancing butterflies. Not only were they beautiful, but they also carried an intense killing intent.
The three of them had already won three matches in a row. Moreover, up until now, they had not used medicinal Protective Spirit Beasts. It was evident that their strength was not the slightest bit inferior to Zhong Tong from earlier.
Ling Xiao swept his gaze over the other arenas again. Suddenly, his gaze froze on the eighth arena.
The person in the eighth arena was a cold and indifferent young man. He held a green long sword in his hand, and clusters of green energy flickered unceasingly in the surroundings. His gaze was filled with incomparable confidence and arrogance.
He had won five matches in a row. From the beginning until now, he had won the most and was also the fastest person.
The surrounding people all recognized him as Shen Mo, one of the five true disciples from the Blue Sun Religion who had participated in the Battle of Imperial Ranking. He was a newly advanced Earth Emperor of High Rank. He cultivated the wood attribute and was good at using long swords.
At this time, the sixth Earth Emperor who challenged Shen Mo went up the stage.
This person was also a Earth Emperor of High Rank, and he held a crack blade in his hand. His feet were a mid-tier Fifth Order Goldbiter Rat.
Without saying another word, this man split up the beast and attacked Shen Mo with all his strength.
Shen Mo's expression remained cold as he faced the long-range attacks of the man and beast. It was as if he didn't care about the left and right attacks at all.
The attacks were about to arrive in front of Shen Mo. He began to move. His entire body was like a clone, and he split into two. At the same time, he slashed out a terrifying sword light from both sides, neutralizing all of the attacks.
At the same time, the third clone had already stabbed toward the Earth Emperor of High Rank's waist from the other side.
The Earth Emperor of High Rank was shocked. He quickly returned his saber to meet the attack, and a powerful Profound Skill was unleashed from his body.
On the other hand, Shen Mo's sword light was extremely strange. The sword that was thrust forward had turned into a twisted shape. It bypassed the Earth Emperor of High Rank's attack and stabbed into the Earth Emperor of High Rank's abdomen.
At this moment, only Shen Mo's shadow was standing between the Earth Emperor of High Rank. His sword had already stabbed into the Earth Emperor of High Rank's body, and he murmured, "Die!
After saying that, he waved the long sword in his hand. The Earth Emperor of High Rank didn't even have the chance to retreat, and was immediately cut into two.
The strong smell of blood made the people around the eighth ring want to vomit.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao frowned and murmured, "It's a secret technique!
Xuan Yao seemed to have some understanding of all sides and immediately explained to Ling Xiao, "This is a secret technique unique to the Blue Sun Religion. It says that one can create twelve clones at the same time, but now, that disciple of the Blue Sun Religion... Apparently, he could only use three or four clones. However, in the battle between the Earth Sovereigns, their clones were indeed a headache. It seemed like there were at least two people from the Blue Sun Religion who could enter the top ten of the competition this time.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's true. If you encounter them, you must be careful. In fact, only one of their Clone Arts was real, while the others were just phantoms. Kill! As long as they could defend this point, their advantage wouldn't exist anymore. After a moment, he said, "Alright, there isn't much time left. All of you can go down and compete. I want to see who among you will be the first to qualify for the second round.
"Okay. Boss, look at me." Ye Yunfeng was full of fighting spirit. He responded and immediately rushed towards the arena number one.
Obviously, he wanted to pick his opponent from the first ring.
Cai Xiayue and Bai Yuxi looked at each other and walked towards number five and six respectively.
Xuan Yao chose the seventh arena. The one on the ring was a strong man with the strength of a peak Earth Emperor of Middle Rank.
Ling Xiao didn't leave his original spot. He just quietly watched them fight.
The Black Sheep at the side did not quite understand and said, "Boss, this kind of competition is so boring. Why do you want to participate? Playing with them with your strength is simply bullying!
Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said. Haha, boss is not powerful to the extent of looking down on others. Although this game is a little boring, there are still some interesting aspects.
At this time, Feng Ya, who rarely spoke, said faintly. "The battle for Imperial Ranking has always been a gathering of elites from all over the world. With your current strength, it won't be easy for you to leave Blue Sun City.
Feng Ya had never seen Ling Xiao's true combat strength, but he could tell that Ling Xiao was only a Earth Emperor of Middle Rank. Even if he was the disciple of Evil Monarch and had the strength to cross realms, it wouldn't be easy for him to walk further.
Therefore, he obviously didn't think highly of Ling Xiao and the others.
