The old man's words made Xiao Chen thoughtful. Don't let your heart hang on the ground all the time, sink down and melt into it. Do you mean that I am arrogant
No matter, let's take a look first, since we are already here anyway, Xiao Chen doesn't plan to leave immediately. He takes a step forward and comes to the first wooden wall, where is the ranking of the top 500 disciples of Tiandao Pavilion.
The format of the wooden wall is the same as other wooden walls, with ten rows of fifty people in each row, but the scenery at the back is different. It is painted with a light gold paint, which is a bit like a roll of honor.
However, ranking in the top 500 deserves this honor. When I see my name on it, I will probably be proud of it.
Survival of the fittest, a good competition mechanism, can retain outstanding talents to the greatest extent. Yes, Xiao Chen still appreciates this ranking system.
Looking upward, the names of the ten people at the front were as scarlet as blood, and they stood out among a bunch of black fonts. What made Xiao Chen a little strange was that none of these ten people were the core disciples of Tiandao Pavilion.
I don't know which peak it belongs to or what its realm is. There is only one solitary name on the information column, and the rest are all unknown, which makes it a bit mysterious.
Aren't the strongest disciples of Tiandao Pavilion those true disciples? Xiao Chen said secretly in his heart, and after counting carefully, he saw the name of the first true disciple fifty years away.
Wang Qinian, the true disciple of Wanren Peak, was at the lower-grade Martial Honor realm, and the one at the top was only ranked around fifty. After thinking about it, Xiao Chen decided to take a look at the ranking of the so-called Quick Blade Lin Feng.
Continuing to look down, Xiao Chen saw Lin Feng's name in the third row. He was a core disciple of Wanrenfeng and a top-grade Martial Master. The core disciple of Wanrenfeng, who ranked second in strength, was only ranked over 100. name.
Xiao Chen began to doubt how the rankings on the wooden cards were divided, and it seemed that they were not accurate at all.
"Ye Chen!" When Xiao Chen was deep in thought, someone called his name from behind. When he looked back, he found that it was Ma Cheng who had gone to the spirit mine to perform the mission that day.
Seeing Xiao Chen turn around, Ma Cheng walked over quickly and said in surprise: "It's really you, Junior Brother Ye Chen. I haven't seen you for almost a month. I thought something happened to you."
Xiao Chen felt a little apologetic when he saw it, and explained that he was forced to knock him out that day, and there was no malice.
Ma Cheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it. I understand this. You really have a big background. The Young Pavilion Master personally sent people to look for you."
Xiao Chen said strangely: "You also know about this matter, does anyone else know about it?"
Ma Cheng shook his head and said: "No one should know. I only came up here half a month ago. I don't know what happened in the mine tunnel. It has been under martial law for a long time."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Chen also learned some things from Ma Cheng about what happened after he left that day. There were no rumors about what happened in the mine tunnel, and the Tiandao Pavilion was as calm as before.
No one outside knew that the earth-shattering changes a month ago might turn into an incident that threatened the entire Tiandao Pavilion.
Xiao Chen remembered that Ma Cheng had been here longer than him and should know what was going on in the rankings, so he asked his doubts.
Ma Cheng smiled and said: "It's normal. The true disciples of the seven peaks are all passed down from the peak master's bloodline. It's not just whoever has the most talent becomes the disciple. Sometimes the true disciples are even as strong as the ordinary disciples of the inner sect." Not as good as anything.”
Xiao Chen said in surprise: "If I become the peak master, will anyone be convinced?"
If the master of a peak is not as strong as a core elder, Xiao Chen can hardly imagine how this person can manage such a huge mountain.
"No, there are only a few people like that after all, and each peak has its own inheritance method. The old peak master can pass on his cultivation to his descendants before he dies." Ma Cheng continued to explain.
"As for the top ten people, they are really the ten strongest people. They practice outside all year round and rarely come back, so it is normal to not know their cultivation level. I saw the year-end ranking competition at the end of last year."
"These ten people are all very strong, and they are not in vain. Several of them can transcend several realms and defeat their opponents. Moreover, their cultivation methods are different from those of the orthodox inner sect disciples. They all go to the Divine Sword Camp. "
So that's the case, no wonder the old man told Xiao Chen that genius is the cheapest thing in Tiandao Pavilion. If the top twenty people are all the people Ma Cheng said, what the old man said is not an exaggeration at all.
What other genius can be better than being able to cross borders and defeat your opponents
After answering Xiao Chen's question, Ma Cheng told him about the changes in the rankings. In addition to being able to move the rankings through some trial tasks, he could also challenge opponents in the same row as himself.
In other words, you can challenge up to forty-nine inner disciples who exceed yourself. Everyone has a chance to challenge once a month. The person being challenged can choose not to challenge.
But on the 15th of every month, if someone challenges you on this day, you must accept that person's challenge, otherwise it will automatically be regarded as giving up and you will automatically lose.
Of course, the most important thing is the annual ranking battle at the end of the year. At that time, the entire Tiandao Pavilion will engage in a huge battle among the inner disciples.
The points you get in the battle are the most important factor in determining your ranking. Of course, your previous ranking is also important. If you get the same points, but your ranking is too far behind, it won't help in the end.
Ma Cheng explained in detail, and Xiao Chen understood it immediately. Now he somewhat understood the meaning of the old man's words. The so-called "sink down and blend in" should be asking him to join this competitive game.
Xiao Chen thought for a while, he could agree to other people's challenges, but he would not take the initiative to challenge himself. He really didn't have the time.
Anyway, he is no longer in the bottom five hundred. As long as he holds on, there is no need to worry about being kicked out of Tiandao Pavilion at the end of the year.
It was getting late, and Xiao Chen was in a hurry to return to Qingyun Peak, so he stopped chatting with Ma Cheng and left the Merit Hall immediately after saying goodbye.
The rooftop was as lively as when he arrived, bustling with people.
As soon as he lifted his legs and stepped out of the door of Merit Hall, Xiao Chen felt several murderous auras, attacking him unabashedly, and couldn't help but stop.
On the avenue leading to the Gongde Hall, a group of people walked slowly, wearing Wanrenfeng's clothes, with frost on their faces and cold eyes. They stopped ten meters in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen saw Yang Qi's figure among the crowd. He looked at Xiao Chen coldly and whispered something into the ear of the person next to him.
The man had a square face, and his appearance was extremely ordinary, but the light that flashed in his eyes from time to time made people shudder, and he said that his cultivation level was at the level of a low-grade Martial Lord.
"Sure enough, there is something good to watch. It is Wanrenfeng's sharp swordsman Lin Feng, the 106th fierce man on the Tiandao Pavilion's strength rankings, and Wanrenfeng's second-ranked core disciple."
"He has already said that he wants to regain the situation for Yang Qi. It seems that Ye Chen will not be able to escape easily today."
"It's hard to say. Since Ye Chen was able to defeat Yang Qi that day, he may not be able to defeat Lin Feng today. Moreover, Ye Chen's strength has now reached the level of a top-grade martial artist. I can only see their first core disciple Luo Kedi coming. "
"If you had said what you said two months ago, it might still be possible. Now Lin Feng has already reached the level of a low-grade Martial Master. A Martial Master and a Great Martial Master are two completely different realms. They are too far apart."
"Haha, Ye Chen may not have had a chance two months ago. Lin Feng is known as the fastest swordsman in Wanren Peak. It's not for nothing. At most, he loses a little better. Now I guess Ye Chen can't stop him with any move. ”
Lin Feng's appearance immediately attracted all the inner disciples around the Gongde Hall, and they all started to watch the excitement.
Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged, his heart was calm, and he could not make any waves. He looked at Lin Feng in the crowd without any fear.
Lin Feng took a few steps forward, came to Xiao Chen, and said coldly: "Two months ago, did you hurt many of my Wanren Peak disciples?"
"That's right!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
Lin Feng slowly moved his right hand to the handle of the knife, and the momentum in his whole body began to gather. He stared at Xiao Chen with his eyes and said, "I'll give you a chance to explain. If I'm not satisfied, you can leave it to them." I will repay you tenfold for your injuries.”
"The skills are inferior to others, so why explain!" When Xiao Chen spoke, he moved forward unnoticed.
Click!
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, the long knife in Lin Feng's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and a cold light appeared. Everyone could only see a vague shadow of the knife, and they couldn't even see what the blade looked like.
boom!
But something unexpected happened to everyone. Originally, Xiao Chen was expected to be hit by this lightning-fast knife, and then his blood flowed into a river, and he was immediately defeated.
But the reality was that Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground with a crisp sound in his chest, and the long knife in his hand shook and fell out of his hand.
Xiao Chen stepped forward and stepped hard on Lin Feng, who was struggling to stand up. There was another crisp sound, and several ribs on Lin Feng's chest were broken again.
Lin Feng groaned in pain, pointed at Xiao Chen, and said with great reluctance: "You..."
The sudden situation, Lin Feng, who was originally poking and prodding, was knocked down by Xiao Chen with a punch, which made people realize what was going on. It was all so incredible.
In their eyes, it was obviously Lin Feng who made the first move, and it was so fast that the naked eye could not catch it, but why was he himself the one who was hit first.
"Xiao Chen, please relax your feet quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!" Yang Qi was anxious when he saw Lin Feng falling to the ground, and quickly led the other core disciples of Wanren Peak to surround Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, hooked his right foot and kicked Lin Feng's body out like a sandbag. Yang Qi quickly stretched out his hand to catch Lin Feng, but the force attached to Lin Feng's body was far beyond his imagination.
After a while, everyone in Wanren Peak caught Lin Feng steadily. Xiao Chen had already used the Qinglong Soaring Cloud Technique and disappeared.
On an attic in the distance, two young disciples wearing Wanrenfeng costumes quietly watched the scene taking place in the Hall of Merit.
One of them shook his head after looking at it and said: "Junior brother Lin lost so unjustly. If he didn't give that man a chance to speak, he would directly use the Shocking Sword Technique after going up. With his current state, he could do it with only ten moves." Defeat this person.”
The other person smiled lightly and said: "If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say. Lin Feng is very arrogant. It would be better if he takes some setbacks and calms down. Junior Brother Luo, what do you think of Ye Chen?"
It turned out that these two people were Wang Qinian, Wanrenfeng's true disciple, and Luo Kedi, Wanrenfeng's number one core disciple.
Luo Kedi thought for a moment and said: "Reasonable, calm, and good at seizing the opponent's weaknesses. The physical strength is very terrifying. The punch just now should have been eight thousand kilograms in strength."
"However, the physical strength is not good after all. The higher the realm, the smaller this advantage will be. He will not be our opponent, so don't worry too much."
Wang Qinian smiled softly and said: "This person is far more powerful than imagined. If you face him, if you don't use special skills, I'm afraid you only have a 50% chance of winning."
"how do I say this?"
