Chapter 811: The Ranking Battle Begins

Aside from Xuan Che and Luo Ming, there were two others who did not pass judgment on Wang Jianqiang.

One was Wen Ya.

Among everyone present, she alone knew Wang Jianqiang's true background.

This guy was absolutely the most terrifying one among all the participants.

The other person was a woman dressed in a black dress, wearing an Asura Mask; above the mask, two drops of crimson blood tears were shocking to the eye.

Her long, straight black hair hung down, and her temperament was cold and ghostly, as if she were a phantom.

Even just standing there quietly, she made people feel a chill in their hearts.

This woman was named Nine-Nether.

She was the other Disciple from the Youyun Holy Land, besides Luo Ming, to enter the second stage.

When she and Luo Ming first arrived, Wang Jianqiang had noticed her, but later, after the Spirit Ranking Battle began and he encountered Luo Ming again, this woman had already separated from Luo Ming and he had not met her since.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Jiuyou, his expression somewhat peculiar.

Among the Disciples from the Youyun Holy Land participating in this Spirit Ranking Battle, it appeared that Luo Ming was the leader, but he always felt that this woman was not simple at all, and her strength seemed to be even above Luo Ming's.

Faint Golden Light welled up within his eyes.

The next moment.

The Asura Mask on Jiuyou's face gradually began to blur.

Just at the moment when the Asura Mask was about to become transparent and the face beneath the mask was about to be revealed.

On the Asura Mask, the two Asura Blood Tears suddenly erupted with a dense blood-colored light.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes felt a stinging pain, and he subconsciously closed them.

He felt a surge of surprise in his heart.

Within the blood tears on this Asura Mask, there seemed to be an extremely powerful and transcendent force contained, capable of blocking even his current Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze!

At the same time.

Jiuyou seemed to sense something and suddenly raised her head to scan the people around her.

Beneath the mask, in those ink-black eyes, a faint red light flashed, along with a look of suspicion and uncertainty.

Sensing the look in Jiuyou's eyes, Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked toward others without changing his expression.

After Jiuyou's gaze swept over the crowd, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was being watched by everyone.

She then withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and felt a sense of doubt in her heart.

Just a moment ago, the Blood Asura Mask had throbbed, as if someone were spying.

But after she checked the surroundings, she did not discover the slightest abnormality.

The Blood Asura Face had a mysterious origin, and although it was limited by her cultivation level, she could not unleash its full power.

But even so, to see through it, one would need a Void Refinement Stage cultivator to be present in person.

Everyone here was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator; how could anyone make the Blood Asura Mask throb?

Could it be that she had sensed it wrong?

"This woman is not simple!"

On the other side, Wang Jianqiang's heart became vigilant.

After pondering for a moment, Jiuyou did not continue to investigate further, and her gaze turned toward Luo Ming's severed arm, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

Interesting, someone was actually able to sever one of Luo Ming's arms.

This year's Spirit Ranking Battle is truly full of hidden talents.

At the same time.

After the initial shock, the crowd's gaze gradually drifted away from Wang Jianqiang.

They then noticed the matter of Luo Ming's severed arm and all revealed looks of astonishment.

Luo Ming was the third-place finisher in the previous Spirit Ranking Battle.

He was highly likely the strongest person in this Spirit Ranking Battle; who had the means to actually make him lose an arm!

Or could it be that he encountered an incredibly powerful Fortune Spirit?

If it were the latter, it wouldn't be much, but if it were the former...

This Spirit Ranking Battle is likely not going to be simple!

Just as everyone was suspicious and uncertain, a voice devoid of any emotion suddenly rang out, "Next, the second stage of the Spirit Ranking Battle, the Ranking Battle, begins."

Following the sound of this voice.

On one person, Fortune Power suddenly surged forth.

Roar~

Accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar, a Fortune Golden Dragon three thousand zhang long manifested.

Seeing their own Fortune Golden Dragon appear first, that person's face immediately flushed red, and their expression turned ugly.

The rules for the second stage of the Spirit Ranking Battle were simple: based on the strength of the thirty people's Fortune Power, everyone would be assigned a number from one to thirty.

Then, twenty-nine rounds of battles would be conducted; each victory would grant half of the opponent's Fortune Power, and the final ranking would be determined by the length of the Fortune Golden Dragon.

In the stage of assigning numbers, the one whose Fortune Golden Dragon appeared first would be number thirty, with the smallest Fortune Golden Dragon.

In other words, among everyone present, their ranking was currently the lowest.

At the same time as this person's Fortune Golden Dragon appeared.

The people around could not help but glance at Wang Jianqiang, all revealing looks of astonishment.

No way?

The one whose Fortune Golden Dragon appeared first was actually an Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivator, rather than this Seventh-Order Will Stage lucky guy?

Immediately after, the crowd began to laugh with faces full of mockery.

"It seems this guy's luck is even better than we imagined."

"What use is good luck? One can rely on luck in the first stage, but in this second stage, there is no such thing as luck at all."

As everyone chatted and laughed, another person's Fortune Golden Dragon manifested.

Immediately following.

The third person, the fourth person...

As the Fortune Golden Dragons manifested above the heads of one Cultivator after another, the look of astonishment on everyone's faces grew more intense as they looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Roar~

Another dragon roar sounded.

Above Luo Ming's head, a golden dragon approximately 3,600 zhang in length emerged.

Seeing this scene, everyone once again revealed a look of astonishment.

The third-place finisher of the previous Spirit Ranking Battle, the top genius of the Youyun Holy Land with formidable strength, actually only ranked twenty-fourth in the number assignment for the second stage of this Spirit Ranking Battle?

Everyone could not help but look at his severed arm, their expressions becoming grave.

It seems that way.

The one who severed Luo Ming's arm is, in all likelihood, a participant!

Sensing everyone's gaze, Luo Ming only felt his face burning; he glanced at Wang Jianqiang without changing his expression, the murderous intent in his heart growing even stronger.

It's all that bastard Wan Guiyuan's fault!

After Luo Ming.

Fortune Golden Dragons continued to manifest one after another.

At a certain moment.

Yaoguang's figure trembled, and a Fortune Golden Dragon over 4,000 zhang in length appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Among the thirty people present, she was temporarily ranked ninth.

After her, only eight people had yet to reveal their Fortune Golden Dragons.

By this time.

The gazes everyone cast toward Wang Jianqiang could not help but become shocked.

What kind of fortuitous encounter did this guy actually get?

To have actually entered the top eight?

Roar~

Fortune Golden Dragons were still emerging one after another, yet there was still no movement above Wang Jianqiang's head.

Until a Fortune Golden Dragon over 23,333 meters in length appeared above Jiuyou's head, among those present, only the Fortune Golden Dragons of Xuan Che and Wang Jianqiang had yet to manifest.

Roar~

As another dragon roar erupted, a Fortune Golden Dragon nearly 10,000 zhang long manifested above Xuan Che's head, coiling in the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone was completely stunned.

Not because of Xuan Che's massive Fortune Golden Dragon, but because that tiny Seventh-Order Will Stage Cultivator had actually still not manifested a Fortune Golden Dragon.

In other words.

This guy had actually obtained first place!
