Chapter 126: Desperately Broke

According to the rules, one only needs to leave a name on the Heavenly Pride Ranking to advance successfully.

But no one knew where the Heavenly Pride Ranking was.

Never before had such a thing happened — someone found the Heavenly Pride Ranking right after entering Dragon Island. What kind of dogshit luck was that?

Lin Chaoyang was still a little surprised, but he immediately came back to his senses.

"Holy shit! That's the Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

Lin Chaoyang reached out to grab the stone tablet, but the tablet dissolved into a streak of light and vanished.

After someone carved their name, the Heavenly Pride Ranking would randomly fall somewhere on Dragon Island, waiting for the next person of fate.

Lin Feng and Pill Master Gu Dan were both dumbfounded.

The group that had entered Dragon Island was even more shocked, every last one of them.

Not to mention them — even the spectators outside couldn't help but freeze on the spot.

On the Imperial Family's Golden Dragon Boat, the Crown Prince of the Daqian Dynasty curved his lips. ***The Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting brings a surprise right at the start — truly interesting.

But no one questioned Lin Chaoyang.

Being able to make it this far, luck is also part of strength — no one would look down on Lin Chaoyang.

As Lin Chaoyang was sent out by the Golden Light, he quickly left Dragon Island.

Afterwards, the Imperial Family's Black Armor Army stepped forward to register his name. After learning some information, they let Lin Chaoyang leave.

At the same time, on the dragon boat of the Lin Clan, one of the Eight Great Families.

Lin Dingtian cast a cold glance over.

That single look radiated overwhelming dominance.

Lin Chaoyang inadvertently met Lin Dingtian's gaze, instantly trembled all over, and hurriedly lowered his head as he returned to Lin Feng's side.

"Clan Leader, I think I've been targeted." Lin Chaoyang said with a tense face.

"Isn't that only natural?" Lin Feng's mouth twitched.

Lin Chaoyang was truly freakish — blessed with the Lucky Physique, his luck was outrageously heaven-defying.

Being targeted was only to be expected.

"It was Lin Dingtian." Lin Chaoyang said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked toward the dragon boat high in the sky.

Sure enough!

He saw Lin Dingtian cast his gaze downward, hands clasped behind his back, like an immortal descended from the heavens, surveying the ants below.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.

This man — he had to kill him!

Fifty thousand Qi Luck Value!

After this little disturbance passed, the twenty-four water-patterned mirrors continued to display the battles of disciples from various factions.

If the Hundred Clans Assembly was a simple, relaxed trial, then Dragon Island's Life-and-Death Trial was a blood-soaked battle from hell.

Any participant who met another would immediately attack.

Before the first day was half over, nearly a hundred people had already died. These people became nourishment for Dragon Island, reduced to a handful of yellow earth.

Such bloodiness and cruelty were chilling to the heart.

The Leaders of the various factions who had lost personnel wore solemn expressions, but they all accepted it.

To win the Dao Entry Pill, one had to endure such tribulation.

On the path of cultivating the Great Dao, when was it ever easy? When were there ever so many shortcuts?

The Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting was a rare shortcut. If you couldn't seize it, you could only blame your own incompetence.

After a day of bloody fighting, Lin Feng kept observing the situation of the three members of the Lin Family.

Lin Yan hadn't run into anyone — his location was quite safe.

The same went for that girl Lin Xuan, though she had quite a few experts around her. An encounter was only a matter of time.

As for Lin Ya, the Iron Sword on his back had already been drawn twice!

Night had already fallen, but Lin Ya could not rest.

Enemies lurked all around him.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The tree shadows swayed, and the rustling leaves actually emitted a humming sound.

Lin Ya's gaze darkened as he locked onto a patch of ground not far away.

"Come out! What kind of hero hides in the shadows?"

Lin Ya took down the Iron Sword. His robes were already stained with blood.

A figure stepped out from the trees, a bloodthirsty grin on his face.

"Which province are you from?"

The man sneered repeatedly. He reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out two short swords, gripping them in reverse, ready to strike at any moment.

"Leiling Province, Lin Ya."

The man was briefly stunned, then burst into laughter: "Leiling Province? You've survived till now — you really are lucky."

"You share the surname Lin. The one who entered the Heavenly Pride Ranking earlier is from your clan, right?"

Tree shadows danced, moonlight spilling down.

A black wind swept through this area. Lin Ya's Sword Heart had finished gathering.

He raised the Iron Sword and said coldly: "Why all this talk? The rules say we kill on sight — either you die, or I live!"

"Hahaha! You've got some nerve." The man said with a big laugh.

"I am Bai Yulong of the Bai Family of Cloud Valley Province. Today you ran into me — consider yourself unlucky."

"Whoosh!"

A sword hum rang out.

In an instant, life and death.

Lin Ya had already sheathed his Iron Sword. He turned his head, looked down at Bai Yulong collapsed on the ground with utter contempt, and said, "I really don't want to know your name. Why bother wasting the time?"

That single sword strike left the Bai Family members serving as Leader outside Dragon Island utterly stunned.

"What was that? That's impossible!"

The Leader of the Bai Family of Cloud Valley Province was greatly shocked. He stretched out a finger, trembling as he looked toward the Water Ripple Mirror Surface.

The one his Bai Family had pinned such high hopes on — just killed off like that?

The Leaders of many factions silently marked Lin Ya in their minds.

This man's strength was at the eighth level of the Kaimai Realm, and he had mastered some kind of mysterious Sword Dao technique.

Inside Dragon Island, Lin Ya reached out, grabbed Bai Yulong's corpse, and searched it carefully — even patting down every bit of clothing on the body.

After confirming there were no hidden treasures, he rose and prepared to leave.

But after only half a step, he turned back, released Sword Qi, dug a pit in the ground, and buried the man inside.

That scene, however, made Huang Ling'er, the Leader of the Yao Sect of Leiling Province watching from the sidelines, twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"Lin Feng! Look at you! Look at what you've turned a perfectly good genius into!" Huang Ling'er roared furiously at Lin Feng.

"Just now he was short of stripping the man naked to search him — was that really necessary? Has he gone mad with poverty?"

"And digging a pit — at a time like this, does any of that nonsense matter?"

Lin Feng completely ignored Huang Ling'er's embarrassed, furious tirade.

Every one of his Lin Family's Heaven's Pride had some kind of flaw on them…

Lin Ya's habit of looting treasures and digging pits seemed to have been inherited from Lin Feng — unlikely to be shaken off anytime soon.

Inside Dragon Island, after Lin Ya had tidied everything up, he finally prepared to leave, thoroughly satisfied.

But at the same moment, on the Water Ripple Mirror Surface, his marker turned Red.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was immediately struck by a strange feeling: "Why is Lin Ya's marker red?"

Pill Master Gu Dan saw this and immediately began to explain.

"Kill three people, and the marker turns red. This is to let us on the outside know how that one's battle record looks."

"Kill ten or more, and the marker turns deep purple."

"Kill fifty or more, and it turns black — but in all past Heaven's Pride Grand Meetings, no such person has ever appeared."

Hearing this explanation, Lin Feng understood, but his face quickly darkened.

"Lin Ya is in danger!"

He saw a person marked with a red Imprint rapidly approaching Lin Ya.

At the same moment, the Team Leader Elder of Tai'a Sect, the foremost sect of Longlin Province in the north, curved his lips into a smile.

The person approaching Lin Ya was none other than a Tudi of his Tai'a Sect!
