Including Su Lie, everyone felt their bodies tighten and could not help but slightly hold their breaths.
"You've only been in the sect for three months, so you don't know much about the rules for the ranking challenge. For the first time, I'll tell you in detail, listen carefully. If you break the rules in the future, don't blame us for being ruthless.
Yuan Yang was the elder in charge of the new disciples. He was also very straightforward. Without any superfluous words, he went straight to the point.
"First, if you lose three times, you can't challenge again."
"Second, don't kill people, cripple your cultivation."
"Third, if you are not a match, you can admit defeat at any time. The opponent cannot attack again."
"Fourth, you can't jump above the top ten in every challenge."
Yuan Yang's words were extremely concise. He finished them in a few sentences.
"Do you have any more questions?"
Yuan Yang's eyes swept across them as he spoke.
A disciple who was ranked around rank 160 to 70 stood up and said: "Elder, what if by the time you admit defeat, your opponent has already launched his attack?"
Yuan Yang glanced at him and slowly said, "I know that I'm no match for him. Just give up as soon as possible and take the risk. Life and death will depend on you."
"Ah …"
The disciples that were ranked lower couldn't help but shiver, causing a small commotion.
They had thought that Elder Yuan Yang and the other two would protect the weak. They had never expected such an answer.
However, was Elder Yuan Yang a nanny? He was obviously not one, why would he care about such things?
They had only come here to maintain the fairness of the ranking challenge and to prevent some disciples from maliciously killing others. However, if they were weak and did not know the limits of their abilities, they would not bother to care.
Although the rules were that no one was allowed to kill people, they wouldn't interfere if they were looking for death. The path of cultivation was something that could be protected at all times. It was something that could never be separated from life and death.
The disciples that were ranked lower immediately put away their thoughts and became a lot more cautious.
They had originally wanted to try and challenge those who were ranked higher, but now they had to weigh the pros and cons.
However, those disciples with true strength were happy.
Only by fighting like this would it be interesting. Otherwise, how could they continue to fight while their hands and feet were tied?
"Alright, if there are no more questions, let's begin!"
Elder Yuan Yang waved his hand and retreated a little with the eighth elder. Then, they sat down cross-legged in the air.
The square instantly became silent. Those disciples looked at each other, but it seemed that none of them were willing to step forward.
"Am I going to continue wasting my time like this?"
Su Lie could not help but frown slightly.
He looked at Yu Ling, who was sitting on the side with her legs crossed. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head.
He had no plans to challenge her from the start. This little girl's background was not simple. It was best not to provoke her.
Su Lie thought that the stalemate would last for a period of time, but he didn't expect that after a few breaths of time, a figure below lightly stepped on the pillar beneath him.
"I, Huang Tian, challenge the 122nd place, Senior Tong Han!"
Challenge Tong Han?
Su Lie couldn't help but be taken aback. He didn't expect that someone would challenge the people from the Great Yuan Outer Sect in the first round.
However, Tong Han wasn't here. She had left the sect with Ye Han and the others two months ago.
"Shh ~"
All around the square, the disciples glanced over and also saw the empty stone pillar. They immediately began booing.
Huang Tian was also a bit embarrassed. His face was slightly flushed, but he continued to persevere. Only with a higher ranking would the sect be able to give more resources and increase their strength. A little face was not that important anymore.
"This child's future achievements are limited!"
In the sky, Yuan Yang and the Eighth Elder looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
He didn't even have the courage to fight, so how could such a person possess the cultivation of the Battle King?
"The person being challenged can be considered to have lost in less than five breaths."
Although he disdained Huang Tian's actions, rules were rules. Yuan Yang slowly said.
Five breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye.
"Huang Tiansheng, promoted to 122nd place."
Yuan Yang said as soon as the time was up.
Huang Tian's face lit up as he leaped up and flew toward the 122nd stone column.
If he won, then that spot would belong to him. However, the ranking challenge had not ended yet. Whether he would be able to secure that spot would still depend on his strength.
Although that person had stolen Tong Han's position for nothing, Su Lie's heart was still very calm, and he wasn't dissatisfied.
Since Ye Han and the others didn't come, their positions would definitely not be taken away by others. It just depended on who attacked first.
The person had just walked down when Su Lie saw Gu Yuankai stand up.
Was Gu Yuankai going to avenge Tong Han?
Su Lie was stunned for a moment. Gu Yuankai did not look like such an irrational person. Moreover, his ranking was higher than Tong Han to begin with. He was unable to challenge Huang Tian.
Gu Yuankai only glanced at that person once before his eyes landed on the 107th rank disciple.
Right now he was rank 117, just ten ranks away from the limit.
"Gu Yuankai, challenge Senior Brother Nie, rank 107!"
Before Gu Yuankai landed on the arena, his voice was already heard.
Senior Brother Nie let out a light snort before standing up. With a movement of his body, he flew towards the arena.
That person was originally a disciple of the Great Qing s.
In the last selection, Su Lie and Liu Xuanyue had appeared, but Gu Yuankai didn't seem to have any impression of him and treated him as an ordinary disciple. Gu Yuankai thought that since he had trained in two kinds of Earth Origin Stage martial arts, even if Gu Yuankai's cultivation was a stage higher than his, he would still be able to easily defeat him.
But as soon as he got on stage, he knew he was wrong.
As soon as the long sword appeared in Gu Yuankai's hand, soul force flashed on the tip of the sword as it flew through the air. Before that person could understand what was going on, a powerful formation appeared behind Gu Yuankai.
"Formation master?"
The man stared at the array and could not help but inhale a breath of cold air. Not only was it an array master, but it was also a high level array master. In the blink of an eye, he was able to set up a Grade Three Formation.
"Grade Three Formation..."
The rest of the people on the stone pillars also had shocked expressions on their faces.
Su Lie looked at the array that Gu Yuankai had set up and could not help but feel slightly surprised.
"He seems to have made another breakthrough in the formation!"
If it was in the past, even if it was a low Grade Three Spirit Formation, Gu Yuankai would not be able to so easily lay it down. He must have made some breakthroughs recently.
"Senior Brother Nie is not a match for him!"
The moment the skills of a formation master from Gu Yuankai were revealed, many people would not be in a good mood for Senior Brother Nie.
Rank three formation master, was able to fight against a powerhouse at the sixth level of the Earth Origin Stage, while that Senior Brother Nie was only at the fourth level, how could he be a match for him?
With the appearance of the formation, the center of the formation wiggled and three dazzling sword Qis suddenly condensed. They floated in the middle of the formation and had already locked onto Senior Brother Nie's body.
Senior Brother Nie's face paled as he was locked in place by the sharp sword energy.
However, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. A long sword instantly appeared in his palm and with a move, he charged towards Gu Yuankai.
Gu Yuankai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and wave the sword in his hand.
"Swoosh!"
Within the formation, the three sword Qis immediately turned into a dazzling light. They dragged a long tail of light and formed a triangle, surrounding Senior Brother Nie as they shot out like lightning.
"I don't believe I can't block it!"
Senior Brother Nie's face suddenly revealed a malevolent expression. The long sword in his hand trembled as streams of Yuan Power continuously interweaved on the sword's body. The sword images crisscrossed like a large net, blocking in front of him.
"Bring it on!"
With a push of his arm, the sword net formed a wall between him and Gu Yuankai.
The corner of Gu Yuankai's mouth slightly curled up and his arm slightly shook. The three flying arrows slightly quivered and avoided Senior Brother Nie's fatal spots.
"Sigh …"
Seeing Senior Brother Nie's performance, Yuan Yang and the Eighth Elder slightly sighed.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
The extremely sharp sword net was like a thin layer of paper that could easily be broken apart with a single stab.
Senior Brother Nie's pupils suddenly contracted. Before he could react, three shadows flashed before his eyes and three blood blossoms bloomed on his shoulder and left thigh.
Three sword energies instantly pierced through his body, causing blood to spurt out.
"Do you still want to fight?"
Gu Yuankai lowered the long sword in his hand as he asked Senior Brother Nie in a slow voice.
Senior Brother Nie held the sword mark on his thigh and looked pale. He barely managed to hold on as he raised his head to look at Gu Yuankai. He shook his head with great difficulty and said in a low voice, "I admit defeat."
"Gu Yuankai, victory!"
Yuan Yang announced in a straightforward manner.
For example, these new disciples had very low cultivation bases, so he didn't care too much about them.
"Gu Yuankai, challenge the ninety-seven Senior Martial Brothers!"
When Senior Brother Nie left the ring, Gu Yuankai slightly turned his head and swept his eyes across the room. His eyes fell on the 97th place.
That person was a disciple with a tall and straight figure, emitting a cold Qi from his brows and eyes, who was a disciple from the Great Spirit Outer Sect.
"He wants to continuously challenge us?"
All around the arena, the disciples were in an uproar.
One had to know that if they continued to challenge and expended too much Origin Energy, it was very likely that they would lose if there were disciples to challenge and they were exhausted. If it wasn't for the fact that they had absolute confidence, most people wouldn't do this.
Otherwise, it would be too unsightly to fight back with so much effort and yet to be pushed down by someone else.
Senior Martial Brother Wu was extremely straightforward. With a tap of his feet, he landed on the arena.
"Please!"
Gu Yuankai saluted slightly and waved his arm. The long sword in his hand started moving rapidly once again.
"If you wish to set up a spirit formation, I will not give you the chance to do so."
Senior Martial Brother Wu stomped on the ground and charged towards Gu Yuankai.
Senior Martial Brother Wu was only at the fifth level of the Innate realm. If Gu Yuankai were to set up the formation, he would not be able to fight back.
