243: C243 Release the results!

C243 Release the results!

That red color was enough to pierce a person's heart through their eyes. At first glance, one would only feel their blood boil at the sight of this place, as if sprinkling the blood here was the last resting place for a martial artist.

On the vast crimson ground, at intervals, a tall stone platform stood erect, never to fall.

And this, was the Battling stage.

The Hero Land that every disciple of Cloud Sea Sect yearned for.

The strong were born here, and the weak died here.

The strong were enjoying the applause and cheers while the weak were being ridiculed.

At this moment, the place was already packed with people, a large number of Cloud Sea Sect disciples swarmed over, as though it was a large scale market. Inner and outer sect disciples together, tens of thousands of people were gathered here, waiting for the announcement of the results.

Amongst the sea of people, Fang Shaobai and Duan Muyun were obviously inconspicuous. There were simply too many people, it was too difficult to pay attention to one or two of them. Perhaps, this was also because Fang Shaobai and Duan Muyun had not reached the level where they could catch everyone's attention.

Fang Shaobai heard the people beside him discussing.

"It's going to be released soon. Zhong Shan should be the first on the Tiger Ranking this time!"

"Maybe not. Although Zhong Shan is powerful, Teng Qingshan and Ruan Shaohua definitely won't lose to Zhong Shan. Who is the number one on the Tiger Ranking? I'm not sure yet."

"No matter who's first on the Tiger Ranking, they are bound to be in the top three of the Tiger Ranking. There is no suspense for them to be promoted to the inner sect. Ai, I'm so envious of them."

Fang Shaobai smiled, it turned out that these people were all outer sect disciples, they were discussing about the outer sect matters. Fang Shaobai was not too concerned about the matters of the outer sect. He wanted to know more about the inner sect.

Fang Duan and Meng Li squeezed through the crowd.

Finally, they met a few inner sect disciples that Fang Shaobai did not recognize, and neither did Duan Muyun. This was not strange, the Cloud Sea Sect was so big and had so many inner disciples, no matter how good their relationship was, it was impossible for them to know everyone.

At most, he would be able to stand out a little and let more people know who he was.

These inner court disciples were discussing.

Fang Shaobai originally thought that their discussion would be about those experts with extraordinary strength within the inner sect, but after listening carefully, she could not help but think of it.

The person these inner disciples were talking about was actually someone called Ning Qiusheng.

This was a completely unfamiliar name that even Duan Muyun had never heard of before.

But according to the discussions of these inner sect disciples, this inner sect disciple called Ning Qiusheng was actually a person with extremely good luck. This fellow was on the verge of losing a year, and had the chance to be challenged in twenty rounds of every month.

According to the rules of Battling stage, if one wins a match, they will lose five points, and if they don't, they will lose five points. If one won all 240 battles, they would get 1200 Battling stage Points, which meant that they would be placed at the top of the Dragon Rankings with a full score.

If this were to happen to the type of expert that everyone expected to see, then it definitely wouldn't be surprising. At such a level of strength, it was normal for him to be forcefully defeated with a perfect score. The problem was that Ning Qiusheng, who was unknown, actually got a perfect score, he was definitely a huge dark horse!

However, the actual cultivation of this dark horse, was actually only at the seventh stage of the martial spirit. This kind of cultivation could only be considered to be in the upper echelons of the inner court disciples, it was basically not top-notch.

The reason why someone with such cultivation could win all 240 battles was very simple. There were two ways to choose an opponent, one was to challenge others by name, and the other was to challenge an inner disciple. The prerequisite for being challenged was that the person being challenged had to have sufficient number of times to be challenged.

However, this Ning Qiusheng had not been challenged by anyone stronger than him in a year, and all of his challenges were based on randomly chosen opponents. All of his challenges were based on drawing lots, with the opponent who was weaker than him winning all the matches, in the one hundred and twenty rounds, Ning Qiusheng had the same luck as the challengers, the person who challenged him was also weaker than him, but in the end, he won all the challenges by relying on heaven-defying luck.

"Damn it, Ning Qiusheng is going to become famous this time. The first rank on the dragon ranking was to directly obtain the identity of a substitute true disciple, and also to directly promote himself to a true disciple. It's infuriating when people compare themselves to others. "

"Tsk, that might not be the case."

The inner sect disciples continued to discuss, and one of them said with jealousy, "It's not like it's the first time Battling stage has gotten a perfect score, it's already very common. Don't forget that there's still Zhan Yuntian, Gu Ba, and Zhao Xinghe. How could you not know how Ning Qiusheng compares to them? "

"Haha, that's true. Zhan Yuntian, Gu Ba and Zhao Xinghe are all true experts, and Ning Qiusheng is even more powerful than them, hehe. "

"Hehe, don't be like this. I actually hoped that Ning Qiusheng could get first place in the Dragon Rankings instead, so that he could directly become a Successor Disciple. Then, we'll have a good show to watch."

"Hah, that's true too!"

"Haha, that's right. When he was promoted to a true disciple, and the Battling stage opened after the new year, Ning Qiusheng could only fight against a true disciple regardless of whether it was a challenge or a challenge. The consequences could be imagined! That would be a whole year of torture! "I reckon Ning Qiusheng even has the heart to die right now."

Listening to these discussions, the corner of Fang Shaobai's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but mourn for Ning Qiusheng who was among these people for a few seconds. It was not a good thing to be promoted to a true disciple if one was not strong enough. One could be abused for a year, and at the end of the year, one could be kicked out of the ranks of true disciples, returning to the inner sect as a substitute for a true disciple.

Not to mention being a substitute Successor Disciple in the inner sect competition, his goal was not that big. When a large number of inner sect experts took the initiative to challenge him, it would be a tragedy. He would not even be able to stay in the top ranks of the Dragon Rankings.

"Sigh …"

Fang Shaobai silently sighed, and once again silently cried out for the unknown Ning Qiusheng. Suddenly, a burst of strong cheers rang out from the front.

Someone exclaimed, "The Divine Altar Elder is here, he's releasing the results!"

In an instant, a large area of the Battling stage surged with people. Compared to the scene from his previous life where the Imperial examinations were announced on television, it was more than ten times stronger?

The auras of the warriors gathered together, it was simply earth-shattering, forming a strong howling sound in the air above Battling stage, it was definitely not inferior to a hurricane of level 12.

Every single person had to be shocked by such a vast and imposing aura.

Immediately, Fang Shaobai saw a figure swiftly flying over from afar, landing on a stone platform in the center. It instantly released a force that felt like that of the Mountains and Seas, suppressing the aura in the surrounding few hundred meters, causing the entire Battling stage to instantly enter a silent state.

Fang Shaobai felt a shiver in her heart. What a terrifying aura, this altar elder was definitely not an ordinary Martial King. No, she could even be a Martial King Ranker. That aura was too terrifying. Even though they were far away, it still made Fang Shaobai feel a kind of soul tremble.

"Now, let's begin the release of the results!" The divine altar elder's indifferent voice had just sounded when he opened his mouth to announce that he was studying the outer sect tiger rankings.

"First, Teng Qingshan, the second Zhong Shan, the third Ruan Shaohua!"

Compared to the discussions of the outer sect disciples that Fang Shaobai had heard, the three publicly acknowledged outer sect experts were indeed ranked in the top three of the Tiger Ranking.

The Divine Altar Elder didn't seem to be interested in finishing the entire Tiger Ranking. He only read the tenth rank and then began to read the rankings of the inner sect dragon rankings.

Fang Shaobai's spirit was suddenly lifted, and she heard the rankings of the inner court disciples were as follows:

"Dragon Rankings first place, Zhan Yuntian!"

"Second, Gu Ba!"

"Third, Zhao Xinghe!"

"Fourth, Qin Yu Lu!"

"Fifth, Ning Qiusheng!"

"…"

"Tenth, Qian Mingzu!"

When the divine platform elders read out Qian Mingzu's name, both Fang Shaobai and Duan Muyun could not help but narrow their eyes. Fang Shaobai did not know who Qian Mingzu was, nor did she know what grudges Qian Mingzu had with the cloud blowing peak.

What moved him was that Ning Qiusheng, who won the two hundred and forty percent of the matches in the entire year, was actually only ranked fifth in the entire year, and just so happened to receive the identity of a Successor Disciple, not being ranked first like the others were discussing.

This meant that the four inner court experts who were ranked in front of Ning Qiusheng had a perfect victory. Furthermore, in terms of overall strength and prestige, they were all above Ning Qiusheng, so they could be considered as the inner court experts.

Truly amazing. In the entire year, he had won 240 rounds. Not only did he need luck, he also needed strength.

According to the Battling stage's rules, Zhan Yuntian, Gu Ba, and Zhao Xinghe, who were ranked in the top three of the inner sect dragon rankings, were going to be promoted to Successor Disciples. Next year, Qin Yulu would become the new overlord of the inner sect disciples.

The only ones who could pose a threat to Qin Yu Lu were the three unlucky ones who were kicked out of the ranks of the true disciples.1

The Battling stage was truly a fierce battle between a tiger and a dragon!

Fang Shaobai felt a wave of pressure, and at the same time, an unprecedented force. After all, since they wanted to fight the strong, what was the use of directly advancing to a true disciple if they kept fighting the weak?

Just like Ning Qiusheng, he did not directly become a Successor Disciple and missed the chance to be a Successor Disciple. Although it was regretful, but even if Ning Qiusheng was wiser, he would still feel lucky?

As Fang Shaobai's thoughts floated, the God Stage Elder had already finished reciting the entire rank of Successor Disciple in one go. At the same time, he announced the names of the last three on this year's Successor Martial God Ranking, namely Jia Renjie, Hero Zhen and Wen Zijun. The three of them would lose their status as Successor Disciples and would be demoted to the status of Substitute Successor Disciples in the competition for the Dragon Ranking.
