Chapter 552 She was absolutely lucky!
"Two leaderboards, more than 70 consecutive wins? You must be exaggerating."
Luo Chengxu, a cultivator from the Anyang Sect, wiped his staff. He had won more than a dozen matches in a row, and the winning streak continued to increase.
His name was also added to the list of heroes.
Luo Chengxu was full of confidence. This time, he would definitely make it onto the list of heroes and lead the Anyang Sect to great heights!
The eyes of Tong Zong, a fellow cultivator behind Luo Chengxu, never left the screen floating above the arena.
Each competition venue is almost 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, the size of a village.
As for the interior landscape of the stadium, it is all natural scenery, just like in reality.
The cultivators in the competition had varying levels of cultivation, ranging from the lowest level of Golden Core to the highest level of Nascent Soul.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator can shake the ground with a single palm strike; a large enough range is necessary for the cultivator to exert their full power.
The entire stadium was surrounded by a transparent enclosure, and there were many spectators around each arena.
Around the arena, countless virtual screens floated in the air, capturing the battles between cultivators within the arena from every angle.
The largest screen in the stadium displays the leaderboard rankings.
The Ranking of Heroes only records the names and rankings of the top 100 cultivators by points.
The separate rankings for the Dharma Cultivation Arena and the Sword Cultivation Arena have created an information gap between the viewers of the two rankings.
When the cultivator behind Luo Chengxu spoke, Luo Chengxu remained unconvinced.
He has only won a dozen or so games in a row, and even the number one player on the Mage Cultivator Heroes Ranking doesn't have many consecutive wins.
He also checked the sword cultivator rankings, and there were no cultivators with scores in the seventies or so.
"Xiaoyun, you've probably been fighting too much and your eyes are playing tricks on you."
“Senior Brother Luo, I didn’t see it clearly. It seemed to be a female cultivator named Hongmu. How strange, she’s from the Xiaoyao Sect.”
"Xiaoyao Sect... Redwood?" Luo Chengxu stopped wiping his staff and looked up at the screen.
The list of heroes displays the names of one hundred cultivators, from the highest scorer (first place) to the last, with only the names of the top ten cultivators remaining firmly at the top of the screen.
At the very top, the names of the top three cultivators on the Heroes Ranking are in gold font.
Luo Chengxu quickly glanced past the top three cultivators and started looking for Jiang He's name from the tenth place upwards. Without exception, neither the list of heroes in the Dharma Cultivation Field nor the Sword Cultivation Field contained the name "Hongmu".
Luo Chengxu breathed a sigh of relief:
"What? I told you you were mistaken. Although Hongmu did beat Quanming, don't forget that Guo Xia surrendered directly. I don't believe there wasn't some private deal between them..."
"Senior brother, but... I'm sure I'm not seeing things! Look, we've arrived: Redwood—11th place—Points: 35—Xiaoyao Sect..."
Luo Chengxu rubbed his eyes and indeed saw the name on the screen. Jiang He's ranking and points were both higher than his.
Luo Chengxu read it two or three times and it was still the same.
This isn't right.
He had met Jiang He before, but couldn't discern any strength in him whatsoever.
"She's absolutely lucky!"
"Hey, senior brother, your next match is against Redwood."
Luo Chengxu was overjoyed. Guo Xia, that coward, had forfeited. But he was no Guo Xia. This time, he was determined to break that man's winning streak!
Luo Chengxu couldn't wait to tear off the teleportation talisman and arrive at the arena.
The highest scorer on the Dharma Cultivation Hall's Hero Ranking is Kongji, currently with 40 points.
Once enveloped in the desolate golden light, any cultivator who does not abstain will ultimately perish.
All the cultivators whose cultivation level was lower than Kongji's shouted "I forfeit!" as soon as they saw Kongji.
Jiang He's next match was close to Kong Ji's, so she inevitably overheard some of the cultivators' discussions.
"Kongji is not some jade-faced Buddha, he is definitely a cold-hearted and aloof senior brother."
"Being cold and indifferent isn't enough. I've fought him before. The empty golden cage is like an iron hand, and there's no way to break free. Compared to points, staying alive is obviously more important."
"So emptiness is really that powerful?"
"The second one is Luo Yuzi from the Divine Cult. She should be similar to him. I don't know why, but I encountered both of them. Luo Yuzi is swift and decisive. She is a healer. I felt that if I lost, I lost. Kong Ji is more terrifying. He has a feeling of playing you like a puppet, and you can't escape. I was almost scared to death at the time."
Jiang He looked back at the cultivator holding the Buddha statue. He stood at the edge of the arena, his golden staff dazzlingly bright.
Compared to the staff, Kongji was in no way inferior. There was a touch of bright red cinnabar between his eyebrows, which was different from when Jiang He first met him. It made Kongji look stunningly beautiful. Jiang He even saw a trace of detachment from worldly affairs and ruthlessness in him.
A text unfolded in Jiang He's mind.
Under Jiang He's gaze, Kong Ji raised his head and let the person in front of him look at him. He kept his beaded string in his hand, and perhaps because of some unknown joy, Kong Ji slightly lowered his eyebrows, and the curve of his mouth did not change much.
Jiang He turned and went onto the field.
What a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth!
The sect competition was held in various venues, with representatives from each sect sending representatives to watch the matches.
There weren't many people from the Xiaoyao Sect, so they just gathered together a few. Bei Mingzi, Dugu Junli, the headless ghost, and the half-body ghost all came.
There were no markings between the sect cultivators, so all the cultivators just randomly found a place to sit down.
Dugu Junli deliberately chose the last seat, and with his and Bei Mingzi's strength, they were able to keep it undetected by any cultivators.
Dugu Junli ate the hot buns that Jiang He handed him before he went on stage, feeling quite satisfied. He said that he had made the right decision to appoint Jiang He as the academy's alchemist.
After the Wanjue Academy produced a group of "cooks" under Jiang He's tutelage, many of these cooks are now following Zhang Wan into the Xiaoyao Sect.
Dugu Junli was not worried at all about the sect competition. With the strength of their sect, it would be unreasonable not to sweep the top spots.
Dugu Junli ate his steamed buns without letting out a single whiff of their aroma, while Bei Mingzi kept his head down, half asleep.
The headless ghost and the half-body ghost, however, were very interested in the competition.
Right next to the Free and Unfettered Sect sat a group from the Divine Sect. Perhaps because the Divine Sect had taken up the seats at the back, the elders of the other three sects among the four major sects all got up and sat down at the back.
In this year's sect competition, among the two lists of heroes, Lingyun Sect cultivators had the most entries.
Qingqian Zhenren was surrounded by a group of cultivators from the Lingyun Sect and received the most adulation.
"Hua Lanzheng is a child with exceptional talent. She has now surpassed Long Aotian to become number one on the list. She truly deserves to be a disciple of Master Qingqian."
"Yes, I wish I, Liu Zhufeng, were as ambitious."
"Hua Lan is the best in zither and swordsmanship; she is destined to win the championship."
"I staked quite a few spirit stones."
Ye Qingqian listened to the compliments beside her and felt quite pleased.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the Lingyun Sect cultivators, Lin Xia of the Blood Alliance immediately chimed in:
"Lingyun Sect's swordsmanship is quite good, but I noticed that none of your Lingyun Sect members are in the top three of this list of top magic cultivators. Oh, so the number one magic cultivator is Kongji from our Blood Alliance."
Lin Xia spoke in a cheeky tone, and chuckled to himself.
His words immediately enraged several elders of the Lingyun Sect.
Kong Ji, who is currently ranked first on the list of heroes of the Dharma Cultivation, is Lin Xia's closed-door disciple. Lin Xia's words were half sarcastic and half boastful.
The members of the cult remained almost silent until someone glanced at the screen and suddenly said:
"The number one spot on the Sword Cultivator Heroes Ranking has changed again. Look, it's from the Free and Unfettered Sect."
