C1341 Final ranking
Hidden Dragon Castle, Central Plaza!
Those who respected and trusted Yu Haoran, believed that he would definitely be able to make it into the top ten in the end, and would need at most thirty seconds.
Those who detested and hated Yu Haoran, thought that he would definitely not enter the top fifty in the end. Even if he did reach rank fifty, it would still take him around ten minutes.
As for those who remained neutral, they believed that it was possible for Yu Haoran's final ranking to reach around thirty places. He would at most take around five minutes.
Just as everyone was guessing and estimating Yu Haoran's final rank, as well as the amount of time it would take to reach it, the name of Yu Haoran who had already rushed to 88th place suddenly disappeared from the list.
"What's going on?" Raising his hand and pointing at the board above him, Meng Zhengkai asked in confusion.
On the other hand, the Qin Emperor frowned and didn't say anything.
Just when everyone present was puzzled, and even started to suspect if Yu Haoran had been eliminated by the third stage, one contestant from the 61st to 88th place fell from the same ranking, and Yu Haoran's name appeared at the 61st place on the list.
Just as the shock in everyone's heart had surfaced and was about to discuss what had happened, Yu Haoran's name once again disappeared from the list.
Three seconds later, all the participants' names from the thirty-eighth to sixtieth place also fell by one. Yu Haoran's name once again appeared at the thirty-eighth place spot on the list.
They looked at each other, and both Qin Di and Meng Zhengkai noticed the shock, joy, bewilderment, and emotional changes that appeared in each other's eyes.
However, what made everyone even more shocked was that after just a second, Yu Haoran's name had disappeared from the list once again.
The contestant's name fell from the 22nd to the 37th place again three seconds later. Yu Haoran's name once again appeared at the 22nd place on the list.
At this moment, their hearts had suffered three consecutive shocks, causing them to be completely stunned.
At this moment, they could only blankly look at the name that continued to disappear from the leaderboard, before calmly looking at the name that had reappeared at the eleventh position on the leaderboard without any ripples in their hearts.
With regards to the following fifth change in Yu Haoran's name, even though he had finally stopped at the eighth rank, the audience who were already completely numb to it, their emotions did not fluctuate at all, their eyes still void of expression.
However, when Yu Haoran stepped through the clouds and appeared in the center of the plaza, the undulating emotions as well as his eyes that were gradually suffused with light made the entire plaza burst into an intense discussion.
"I never thought that Yu Haoran, who has the strongest talent in the way of pills in the Profound Sky Continent, would also have such a strong talent and achievement in the way of the martial way." Looking at Yu Haoran who was standing in the center of the plaza, a tribulation Quasi-Martial Saint Expert who was standing to the west of the stage could not help but exclaim to her companion beside him.
"That's right!"
His insightful companion nodded and said.
"With a peak monstrous talent in the Martial Dao coupled with the Profound Sky Continent's strongest alchemist cultivation, Yu Haoran's chances of breaking through to the mighty realm of Martial Emperor in the future would probably far surpass the monstrous geniuses of the same period of time!"
"Your Majesty, when Prince Consort was trying to pass the first trial, if he didn't conserve his strength on purpose, do you think he'd rush into the top three?"
As the person who understood Yu Haoran's martial talent the best, Meng Zhengkai was the first one to wake up.
When he saw that Yu Haoran's final ranking was still at the 8th place on the list, he suddenly had a bold guess.
"If I were to use the law of speed at the Perfection Stage and reach A peerless Martial Saint with Prince Consort Ma's strength, I'm afraid I would have the chance to reach first place." Withdrawing his gaze from the leaderboard, his gaze turned towards Yu Haoran, who was standing in the center of the plaza. Qin Di guessed somewhat unwillingly.
"What a pity!"
After hearing Emperor Qin's speculations, Meng Zhengkai could not help but let out a sigh when he saw the calm and peaceful blue-clothed youth standing in the center of the plaza with a faint smile on his lips.
If Yu Haoran managed to get first place in the preliminary competition, both his own reputation and that of the Great Qin Empire would rise by leaps and bounds.
Forty-nine!
Looking at Wu Zhengjun's ranking on the list, Yu Haoran was slightly shocked.
Although in the three days before the Hidden Dragon Rank competition officially began, he had borrowed the medicinal pellets that he had gifted him as well as the dense dark yellow qi within Prince Consort Ma's residence to smoothly raise his physique rank, the disadvantage in speed and mental state allowed him to not hold any advantage in the first and second stages of the examination.2
At this time, to be able to be ranked forty-eighth in the third stage of the examination, it seemed that besides the grade of his Martial Saint Realm, he most likely still had secrets that he did not know about.
In regards to this, not only did Yu Haoran not care about it in the slightest, he was instead overjoyed.
This meant that Wu Zhengjun had truly matured, and become more qualified and capable to become a powerful support for him on his future path to the peak of martial arts.
His gaze continued to search for a familiar name on the leaderboard.
53rd place!
When he saw the name of Qin Tianyi appear at the 53rd place on the list, Yu Haoran couldn't help but frown.
If according to the Tower Spirit's explanation of Qin Tianyi's rapid cultivation growth, it was due to Qing Qiuhuzu's use of his wisdom, then due to his state of mind and his comprehension of realm, he would definitely not be able to unleash the power of his cultivation.
But looking at Qin Tianyi's current ranking, it was likely that Qing Qiuhuzu had even used a treasure to increase his mental state, cultivation and comprehension when he was using a secret technique to increase Qin Tianyi's cultivation.
The contempt he originally had for Qin Tianyi was replaced with caution.
Then, his gaze continued to search for a familiar name.
Qin Minghao!
When he saw the name of the royal family's elites on the 79th place rankings, Yu Haoran couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Amongst the forty-three elite disciples of the royal family that were participating in the Hidden Dragon Rank competition, regardless of cultivation, strength, birth, or talent in the Martial Dao, Qin Minghao did not have the greatest advantage. At the very most, he would only be placed in the middle.
But such an ordinary elite disciple, in the three stages of the preliminaries, had not only surpassed all the elite disciples, even his well-trained lover and sister had been surpassed as well. How could Yu Haoran not be shocked by this?
In fact, it was not only Yu Haoran who was shocked, even the Qin Emperor and Meng Zhengkai who were in the audience, had expressions of disbelief on their faces when they saw Qin Minghao's ranking.
However, considering the thick killing intent that appeared in the eyes of the Qin Emperor when he saw Qin Tianyi's rank, Meng Zhengkai did not dare to discuss the reason behind Qin Minghao's rank being so high.
This was because the Qin Emperor no longer had the same cultivation and strength as him. He was no longer someone who could be suppressed at any time.
Currently, the Qin Emperor was relying on close to sixty percent of the Southern Domain's destiny to successfully break through the realm of the A peerless Martial Saint and become a Thousand Emperors who enjoyed a lifespan of five thousand years.
