Chapter 56: First Round Trial Ranking
It was noon, and Chi Jiuyu was lying on the bed scrolling through the Spiritual Net.
As the only person besides Shishu who knew the truth of this trial (in her own opinion).
She looked at the outrageous and absurd guesses on the Spiritual Net and immediately started ridiculing them.
Especially that 'Xiao Zhao who quietly cultivated Fa cultivation', she even created a new account specifically to argue with her.
Moreover, after that, Chi Jiuyu posted a few more threads herself. Because she knew the real reason, the credibility seemed much higher than other posts.
This also attracted many people to ask questions, but she just wouldn't clarify.
“Hehe!”
Thinking of the scene where those people who were asking questions were scratching their hearts and minds, wanting to know the truth but unable to get it, she rolled around on the bed happily.
In the living room, Xu Xing sighed softly.
He let her do as she pleased, but she seemed to have gone a bit too wild.
Forget it, let her be.
Light and shadow flowed in Xu Xing's eyes. At this time, only the last few people remained in the first round of the trial, but their performance was not good, so they could be ignored.
The ranking was also pretty much set.
Soon, based on each person's performance in the trial, names were listed one by one.
The person ranked first was not Zhang Yunlu, nor was it Xiao Fan, but...
Lin Qiuxian!
As one of the outstanding Disciples of the Sword Sect, he was proficient in countless sword techniques and had extensive combat experience.
Facing Body Cultivators of the same stage, he killed the enemy with three swords. No one among the participants in the trial was faster than him.
Next was the Sword Cultivator with the surname Feng who was detained with him.
After that was a Body Cultivator from the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect.
Finally, it was Li Fengping.
Despite their bad luck, these three from the Sword Sect were quite good.
Fifth was Yu Ming, the Director of Education of Xuanjian City Third Middle School, who was the old man pointed out by Chi Jiuyu.
Because his Foundation was damaged, he did not truly advance to the Celestial Transformation Stage. In the standard set by Xu Xing, he also belonged to the Yuanying Stage category.
The ranking continued downwards.
Sixth was Jiang Jing, a Disciple from the Zhizhang Hall whom he met during a previous mission. The other few Sword Cultivators he saw that day had already left Xuanjian City, so they did not participate in the trial.
Seventh and eighth were a teacher from Xuanjian City First Middle School and an attendant from the Si Lv Hall respectively.
Ninth, Zhang Yunlu.
She was undoubtedly the most experienced person among everyone, but her luck was very average, as she drew a Body Cultivator.
Body Cultivators have thick skin and tough flesh, and she had no experience dealing with them, so it took some time to wear him down and kill him.
Tenth, a Disciple from the Lingyin Workshop.
Eleventh, a Disciple from the Jishi Valley.
Twelfth, a Disciple from the Shenji Lianbao Pavilion.
Just like the ranking during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition.
The list continued downwards until the thirty-third spot, which was Jiang Yujiu from the Hehuan Sect.
As for the Supreme Dao Sect...
Although their methods were not weak, they all held back, so they hovered around the eightieth position.
Looking further down, most were local Yuanying Stage and Golden Core cultivators from Xuanjian City, as well as Disciples and attendants from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and Si Lv Hall of the Sword Sect.
Among the Immortal Sect Disciples, only one person's ranking did not enter the top three thousand.
He was an Alchemist from the Jishi Valley.
Speaking of which, he was quite unlucky. Seven times in a row, he drew Body Cultivators.
His poison techniques were at a great disadvantage against Body Cultivators with thick skin, tough flesh, and maximum resistance.
In the following three times, he drew Sword Cultivators twice and a Fa cultivation once.
In the two times against Sword Cultivators, he ended up with mutual destruction.
However, he did win against the last Fa cultivation, but unfortunately, based on his overall performance, he could not rank among the top three thousand.
Xiao Fan, supported by Huosuo, ranked over one thousand, neither high nor low, just average.
After the ranking was finalized, the light and shadow flowing in Xu Xing's eyes quickly disappeared.
…………
In the gray trial space,
Lin Qiuxian's sword brought up wisps of gray mist.
Clang! Clang!
The bright sword body collided with a pair of withered and ferocious hands with sharp, blood-red fingernails, like the claws of a malevolent ghost, splashing sparks.
Every time the withered figure swung its claws, it brought a very strong smell of blood.
This smell of blood was highly poisonous, capable of corroding the internal organs and polluting spiritual power.
Lin Qiuxian's expression remained unchanged. Each time, he waited until the sharp claws were about to reach him before slowly and calmly swinging his sword to counterattack.
Blood Cultivator!
A type of demonic cultivator.
They were rarely seen in this era, and almost all the remaining ones were in the Starry Sky Battlefield, so there was no chance of fighting them normally.
【First round of trial ends】
The sudden appearance of golden text made Lin Qiuxian pause. The Blood Cultivator seized the opportunity, its sharp claws, carrying a trace of Fishy Wind, grabbed at his neck.
Lin Qiuxian slightly shifted his body to avoid it, and then swung his sword horizontally. The sword body was covered with a thin layer of spiritual light, drawing a beautiful half-arc, and a spurt of blood flew out.
Thud!
The head fell off, turning into a puff of gray mist and dissipating.
Lin Qiuxian put away his sword and stood still, his gaze fixed on the slowly appearing golden text.
【Name: Lin Qiuxian】
【Realm: Yuanying Stage Middle Stage (Suppressed to Qi Refining Ninth Layer)】
【Current Rank: One】
First!
An uncontrollable ecstasy exploded in his heart, and it felt as if only the pounding of his heart remained in his ears.
He desperately suppressed the urge to let out a long roar to the sky, staring at the golden text, repeatedly confirming it, afraid that he had seen it wrong.
【The second round of trials will begin in two days. The top five hundred will advance to the third round】
“Three thousand taking five hundred?”
Lin Qiuxian tried his best to calm himself down.
However, perhaps because his Realm was suppressed, the influence of the cultivation method on him also became smaller, and it was much easier to calm down than outside.
Soon, his heart rate, which was like a drumbeat, gradually became steady.
Whew~
Lin Qiuxian let out a long breath.
'Given two days, it should be to see how much we can improve in this space within these few days.'
After the trial ends, as long as they pass, they can continue to stay, and they can also choose different cultivators as opponents to hone themselves.
Moreover, this trial space was incredibly real. The trajectory of spiritual power operation and the feedback during combat were no different from reality.
“Setting, Enlightenment of Principles Sword Cultivator!”
The Good Fortune Dao Foundation requires Enlightenment of Principles. It is a very elusive state, and the process of Enlightenment of Principles is different for every cultivator who possesses a Good Fortune Foundation.
Some achieve it after narrowly escaping death, some during life-and-death battles, and some even comprehend it when their life is in danger, and then they die.
The only common point is that this process needs to occur in an extreme situation, and only the Human Clan can comprehend it.
Lin Qiuxian had wasted a lot of time because of this. He even tried to ascend to the Starry Sky Battlefield with a Qi Training body, living alone on a planet surrounded by alien creatures for several months, narrowly escaping death multiple times, but still did not comprehend it.
In the end, he had to choose a second-tier Dao Foundation for Foundation Establishment.
As his thoughts turned, a figure had already appeared in the gray mist. With an ordinary long sword in hand, it slowly walked towards him.
【Enemy: Qi Training Eighth Layer Sword Cultivator (Enlightenment of Principles)】
Other than the simple 'Enlightenment of Principles' suffix, there was nothing else.
“Qi Training Eighth Layer…”
Only by defeating a Qi Training Eighth Layer Enlightenment of Principles Sword Cultivator could he challenge the next level.
Lin Qiuxian did not dare to be careless, standing ready, constantly thinking about how to swing the first sword most appropriately.
And the Sword Cultivator phantom had already walked in front of him.
Its face was still unclear. Its build was a bit petite, and it looked more 'slender' than the cultivator phantoms that had appeared before.
He saw it raise its hand and beckon with a finger.
Hmm?
It can even provoke?
Lin Qiuxian's expression became even more serious.
But seeing that he didn't make a move, the figure seemed a little impatient.
Swish!
Sword light bloomed before his eyes.
So fast!
So fast that he didn't even have time to raise his sword to block. Everything he had learned seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. Was this really the speed of drawing a sword that a Qi Training stage cultivator should have?
He only felt the world spinning, and a headless figure came into view.
And the Sword Cultivator phantom stood behind the headless figure, its blurred face facing him, and twirled its sword.
