Chapter 565 The Heroes Ranking Has a Problem
Pang Luo looked up blankly, his tone sorrowful:
"You're only just realizing this?"
Zero West was completely overwhelmed. After fighting for so long, it turned out that their opponents were simply not in the same league.
"then you……"
Pang Luo sighed, "I didn't want to either. She could have killed us all in one go, but she just kept toying with us. I figured, since we're already here, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go on stage for a second and then leave?"
Lingxi roared after hearing this: "We're already here, so what the hell? She's just going to let us run around like that!"
"Yeah, what else can we do?"
"Damn it, you deadbeat simp!"
Lingxi was furious but had no way to vent his anger. Jiang He's killing moves came one after another, and he still had time to talk to Pang Luo. It could only be said that Jiang He had already let the water out of the Pacific Ocean. He was just humiliating himself by not giving up. Lingxi was speechless.
Lingxi roared, and the surrounding cultivators, watching the screen and combining it with the battle footage, were completely focused on the fight because each frame changed so quickly.
They didn't hear anything clearly in Pang Luo and Ling west's conversation, except for the very clear word "simp":
"Oh, a simp? Who's whose dog?"
"I don't know, can someone explain this? They were fighting, so how did they become 'simps'?"
"Lingxi said that Hongmu was 'walking' them on the field; was he referring to himself as the 'dog'?"
"Oh, so Lingxi from the Hehuan Sect has a crush on Hongmu from the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"Oh, I see, it must be unrequited love, the kind where you can't have the other person!"
"I understand. Pass it on: Lingxi of the Hehuan Sect is Hongmu's lapdog!"
"Pass it down: Lingxi, driven by love turned to hate, challenges Redwood!"
"Pass it on..."
……
"Now I finally know where the rumors came from. What 'simp' stuff? I just watched the replay, and Lingxi and Panglu's words were completely nonsensical. Don't be fooled, everyone. I've been looking forward to this story for so long."
"Fine, fine, so you're spreading rumors, huh?"
"What's the point of focusing on the cultivators themselves? This isn't the entertainment industry. Everyone, focus on the competition!"
"But I prefer reading this kind of gossip."
……
Lingxi had no idea how their conversation had been spread.
Lingxi is completely unable to fight now. Anyone who gets brutally beaten like this would choose to forfeit.
Nobody enjoys being constantly dominated throughout a game.
I should have just followed those Nascent Soul cultivators; face and such are all meaningless.
Sigh, he's stuck in this limbo, should he create an accident to get himself offline?
Zero West faces Pang Luo:
"I can't play anymore."
"Let's play a little longer, it's a bit of a waste to log off so early."
"But I feel like my whole body is bleeding."
Pang Luo: "That's normal. It's already amazing that someone like us, who isn't even a villain, has lasted this long."
Ling west frowned, his hand trembling slightly as he held the sword: "What are you talking about? I want to withdraw now, not together?"
"I'll wait a bit longer."
"Okay, so what's your reason for not abstaining?"
"That's a sunk cost. You spent one point, and this is your only chance to challenge. If you step down early, it would be a waste. Besides, you're in the Nascent Soul stage, and you've had a senior at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage fight you for so long. Even though the opponent is only one level higher than you, they're so awesome. Don't you want to learn from them?"
Lingxi: "..."
After hearing what Pang Luo said, Ling west found it to be quite reasonable.
The two had already made a minor splash among the audience due to their previous conversation, and the conversation they just had was recorded in the live stream. Many cultivators discovered that what Pang Luo said was not only true but also made some sense.
[I didn't know you could think of it this way.]
Pang Luo's idea is so novel; I never even thought of it at this level.
Hahaha, how was it learning the craft?
That's amazing! A studious person will always be a studious person, no matter where they are.
Pang Luo, with your perseverance in enduring beatings, you'll succeed at anything.
And Zero and West, the two of them are locked together, a perfect match, hahaha. They can still hold on even after being beaten to the point of vomiting blood. I admire them more than anyone else.
I knew it! That's why the competition wasn't over yet, even though Redwood is so amazing. Turns out, it was waiting here.
What's so interesting about this competition? It's so boring.
I love watching this kind of competition; it's so much fun!
I've almost forgotten that the original purpose of the Sect Competition was for sects to exchange and learn from each other.
Yes, unlike now, where the fighting is fierce and ruthless, and even linked to interests.
However, there's a contradiction: a master is called a master precisely because their unique skill is discovered by many people; they become famous, and that's when people call them a master. If you're not famous, many people won't know about you, and therefore you can't be called a master.
Just like alchemists, those who participated in the academy's grand competition and made it onto the list of heroes have a constant stream of cultivators coming to buy their pills. But if no one is interested, no matter how good your pills are, you won't be able to sell them. Most of them are just driven by poverty and profit.
That's true, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain."
Jiang He's spirit sword emanated a cold aura.
Pang Luo lay down on the ground. Most of the cultivators who had gone up with him had given up, leaving only him and Ling west struggling to keep going.
Pang Luo coughed up a mouthful of blood, lying face up with his right hand slowly raised:
"I abstain..."
With his last breath, Pang Luo peacefully passed out.
Lingxi was swept away by Jiang He's sword and flew sideways. He landed on the ground with a mouthful of blood. "I will never be so reckless again," Lingxi thought to himself, raising his hand to forfeit as well.
"Wheel number 56, the defending champion is Hongmu from Xiaoyao Sect."
Jiang He sheathed her sword, washed it, and returned it to its original sheath in less than a second.
"Feeling a bit tired."
Jiang He muttered to herself, putting her hands back in her pockets, walking with an arrogant air as if every cultivator she passed owed her a hundred million spirit stones.
Anyone who sees this will have something to say.
"That's really cool."
"Redwood? That's not surprising. She has the means to do so."
After this battle, many cultivators gave up the idea of challenging Jiang He.
Everyone thought they could get lucky and snag a bargain, but the truth is they were no match for Jiang He, let alone succeed in the challenge.
Many cultivators looked at their points and considered which one to choose as their challenger.
After looking around for a while, they were surprised to find that many of the names and usernames of the cultivators on the Sword Arena Heroes Ranking and the Magic Cultivation Arena Heroes Ranking were unfamiliar. Some of the opponents they had been choosing before the last competition had disappeared without a trace, most likely because they had gone offline.
The problem is that the rankings are changed so often. Isn't it said that the top 100 on the leaderboard are all cultivated? It's a bit strange that someone could directly attack the leaderboard.
Curious netizens with strong investigative skills began to unravel the mystery.
As they peeled back the layers, they discovered a major problem with the list:
[No, friends, is this right? When did the Heroes Ranking get so many cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect?]
