That damned Lin Xiao!
How could he ruin the plan he had painstakingly set up? But that didn't matter. His trump card wasn't that eliminated young man!
The ranking battle this time wasn't as simple as it had been in the past.
Under the gaze of the Third Marquis, the top 100 geniuses in the luck test all entered the Mystic Realm and began their treasure-hunting journey.
The First Prince and the Fourth Prince's attendants were all at the peak of the Body Integration Realm. Their actual combat strength was around the second level of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Ghost Weep, the Corpse God Sect's junior sect master, and Zhang Gehua, the Qiankun Sect's junior sect master, also had powerful attendants. Their strength couldn't be underestimated.
Among the top 10, only Lin Xiao and Young Master Fufeng were special.
Young Master Fufeng had always been a loner. His strength was comparable to the peak of the Body Integration Realm, so he didn't need any attendants.
However, Lin Xiao was different.
Even if his talent was heaven-defying, a second-level Spirit Severing Stage cultivator was still too weak. He only had a sixth-level Body Integration Realm attendant with him. Wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to enter the top three?
After all, this mystic realm was all about strength. It didn't have much to do with talent.
"How are we going to proceed?"
"Let's wait for Young Master Fufeng and the others to choose first. We'll try our best to avoid them."
"You're right. I don't expect to enter the top three. I'll be satisfied as long as I can get some treasures."
"But I think there are too many people we need to avoid. What if they all choose different directions?"
...
After entering the mystic realm, everyone dispersed. However, most of the prodigies didn't leave immediately. Instead, they watched from where they were.
They were waiting for the top 10 prodigies to make their choices first.
In this mystic realm, the most important thing wasn't finding the treasure, but having the ability to obtain it after finding the treasure.
Although they had to deal with the monsters in the mystic realm, they had to be wary of the prodigies who entered with them, especially the top 10 prodigies!
Therefore, the prodigies at the bottom of the rankings were all waiting until the top 10 prodigies made their choices.
Young Master Fufeng went in one direction alone. The First Prince and the Fourth Prince went in another. Ghost Weep, the Corpse God Sect's junior sect master, and Zhang Gehua from the Qiankun Sect went in another direction. Lin Xiao went in the last direction.
"This …"
Looking at the directions chosen by the top six sky-prides, the sky-prides looked a little embarrassed. Although they didn't all choose a direction, they had basically taken all the directions. How were they supposed to choose?
Young Master Fufeng definitely couldn't afford to offend him. The First Prince and the Fourth Prince were members of the Imperial Family, so they couldn't afford to offend them either. Corpse God Sect, Qiankun Sect … Fine!
He still couldn't afford to offend them!
The geniuses looked at each other awkwardly and silently chose Lin Xiao's direction.
Although Lin Xiao was ranked first in the luck test and had terrifying talent, he was only at the second level of the Spirit Severing Stage after all. He was not a threat to their followers. On the other hand, Lin Xiao's followers were only at the sixth level of the Body Integration Stage. They seemed to be the easiest to bully.
Lin Xiao shrugged nonchalantly when he noticed the choices of the prodigies.
As the saying goes, "There's a path to heaven but you don't want to take it, there's no door to hell but you just have to come." These geniuses didn't choose any other path but insisted on taking the same path as him. He couldn't do anything about it.
It had to be said that Lin Xiao's luck was pretty good. Not long after he walked out, he found an Earth Rank weapon.
However, Lin Xiao didn't look very happy.
An Earth Rank weapon was definitely a treasure in Jiangchu County. However, in Beiwu Country, it was nothing at all. The treasures in this secret realm were far more than just an Earth Rank weapon!
However, since he was the one who found it, there was no reason for him to give it up.
Just as Lin Xiao was about to step forward and take the Earth Rank weapon, a figure appeared in front of him and blocked his way. "I want this Earth Rank iron sword!"
"Isn't this Nalan Xiaoyao, who was ranked ninth just now?"
"He's the young master of the Xuantian Sect. His strength and talent are outstanding. He's also in the top 100 on the Prodigy Roll!"
"But isn't Lin Xiao in the top 10 of the Prodigy Roll?
And in the test just now, Lin Xiao was also ranked first. How dare he provoke Lin Xiao like this? "
"You don't know about this, do you?
Do you see the follower behind him? That's an elder of the Xuantian Sect. His strength has reached the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage. I heard that he's only one step away from breaking through to the Tribulation Stage! "
"He's that powerful?
No wonder he dares to be so arrogant!
In this secret realm, one's strength isn't the most important thing. The strength of the follower is more important. "
…
Seeing that Nalan Xiaoyao was blocking Lin Xiao's way, the other sky-prides behind Lin Xiao couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Lin Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Nalan Xiaoyao calmly. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you want to snatch this from me?"
"How can this be called snatching?
Everyone saw this Earth Rank iron sword together. Naturally, the capable one should have it. Are you trying to use His Majesty to pressure me? "
Nalan Xiaoyao couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard this. He looked at Lin Xiao, and his tone carried slight contempt and provocation.
During the luck test, Lin Xiao had been in the limelight. Nalan Xiaoyao had long been unhappy with Lin Xiao. Now that he had a chance to suppress Lin Xiao, he was more than happy to do so.
In any case, life and death were predestined in this secret realm. Even if he killed Lin Xiao, His Majesty wouldn't do anything to him.
Moreover, Lin Xiao was first in the luck test and had entered the top ten of the Sky-Prides Roll. He was in the limelight. If he defeated Lin Xiao directly, even if it was just his follower defeating Lin Xiao's follower, it would be enough to make his name even more famous.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated.
A murderous intent flashed in Lin Xiao's narrow eyes. He pursed his lips slightly. "Of course, I won't use His Majesty to pressure you. I just want to kindly remind you that life and death are predestined in this secret realm. It's not worth it to lose your life for an Earth Rank iron sword."
"You …"
Nalan Xiaoyao, of course, heard the contempt in Lin Xiao's tone. He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "You should be reminding yourself!
Elder Fang, do it! "
Under Nalan Xiaoyao's order, the elder behind him flashed and came in front of Lin Xiao. He reached out to grab Lin Xiao.
But at this moment, Yang Jian moved.
"Chi!"
The crowd didn't even have time to see how Yang Jian made his move. They saw Yang Jian's three pointed, double-edged sword pick up the elder. The blade pierced into the elder's flesh, making his expression very ferocious. His protruding eyes were full of horror.
"This … how is this possible!"
Nalan Xiaoyao couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
The elder he brought was at the peak of the Joint-body Realm. He was only one step away from breaking through the tribulation. Although he was not as strong as the followers of the two princes, he was invincible in the Joint-body Realm.
