The Inner Sect Ranking Competition had begun, attracting the attention of all the inner sect disciples.
The nine elders gathered once again to watch the Inner Sect Ranking Competition.
Among them, Third Elder Zhao Shangren held a deep grudge against Ye Qing. The deaths of his two outstanding disciples, Xu Yuan and Zhao Wenguang, were both related to Ye Qing.
Zhao Shangren wanted to kill Ye Qing with his own hands, but he didn't have any evidence on hand, so he couldn't do anything to Ye Qing.
In the Inner Sect Sparring Grounds, a large group of inner sect disciples had gathered. Among them, there were many older inner sect disciples who had joined Higashiba Seimune for many years. They had been working hard on their cultivation, hoping to stand out during the Inner Sect Ranking Competition.
If they performed well enough in the Inner Sect Ranking Competition, they would be qualified to become a Core Disciple.
Over the years, many Core Disciples had stood out through the Inner Sect Ranking Competition.
Of course, there were other ways to become a Core Disciple, but passing the Inner Sect Ranking Competition was much simpler.
In the Sparring Grounds, there were many inner sect disciples who had not signed up for the Inner Sect Ranking Competition, but were here to watch the show.
If one wasn't an elite in the Inner Sect, it would be impossible to get into the Inner Sect Ranking Competition. Many inner sect disciples knew their limits.
As Ye Qing walked in the middle of the crowd, many gazes were directed at him. Recently, Ye Qing's name had spread far and wide. Many inner sect disciples recognized him and admired him in their hearts.
In Feng Qi Mountain, he killed the Fire Phoenix and even ate its flesh. When the news spread to Higashiba Seimune, it scared a lot of people.
Among the crowd, there were many Heaven's Favorites who were among the top in the previous Inner Sect Ranking Competition. They were surrounded by many inner sect disciples who were trying to flatter them.
Among them, Xiao Ziran was the most popular. As one of the most popular Heaven's Favorites in the Inner Sect, he never lacked fans.
"Chi!"
Two cold bolts of lightning shot out from Xiao Ziran's eyes, sweeping towards Ye Qing's position.
Before the Inner Sect Ranking Competition started, Xiao Ziran was already hooting. Now that he finally saw Ye Qing, his killing intent soared!
"Brat, you're Ye Qing, the one who killed my brother?!"
Xiao Ziran roared with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Are you the idiot who wanted to fight me one-on-one?
Now that the Inner Sect Ranking Competition is about to begin, I can give you a chance. "Ye Qing grinned, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Ziran sneered, his face was full of ridicule. In Xiao Ziran's view, Ye Qing was just boasting, trying to look impressive.
"You are only at the seventh level of the Fate Wheel. You should try your best to reach the top 100 first, not to mention fighting me one-on-one. Otherwise, you are not even qualified to fight with me!
Do you understand? "
Xiao Ziran was extremely arrogant, he did not put Ye Qing in his eyes at all. He knew that Ye Qing was not weak, he had killed Fire Phoenix before, but in comparison, he was more confident in himself.
As the number one disciple in the inner sect, Xiao Ziran had never lost a single battle. He also had another nickname, War God Xiao.
There might be people in Jianghu who gave the wrong name, but a widely spread nickname would never be wrong.
Xiao Ziran's reputation as War God was not undeserved. Many peerless geniuses of the inner sect had died at Xiao Ziran's hands.
"Top 100?
Isn't that a matter of minutes? "
Ye Qing's lips curled up. There were almost 3000 inner sect disciples participating in the Ranking Competition. They were the elites of the inner sect.
It was indeed not easy to stand out among the 3000 people and reach the top 100.
However, Xiao Ziran seemed to have forgotten that Ye Qing could even defeat Fire Phoenix. How difficult would it be for him to reach the top 100?
His harsh words didn't seem to have any substance.
The Inner Sect Ranking Competition was hosted by the First Elder. He looked dignified as he floated in the air, giving off an unapproachable feeling.
The First Elder spoke slowly, "Dear inner sect disciples, the new inner sect ranking competition has officially begun. Now, you will engage in a battle royale to seize one hundred battle stages. After two hours, the disciples who occupy the battle stages will advance to the next round."
The First Elder announced the rules of the Ranking Competition. In the Martial Arts Arena, there were 100 battle stages arranged neatly, representing the 100 spots that would advance to the next round.
"Then, let the competition begin!" Under the First Elder's command, the inner sect disciples swarmed forward to fight for the battle stages.
"Woo!"
Ye Qing's mind moved, and a pair of faint black flame wings appeared. He quickly flapped them. The flame wings were extremely large, and as they flapped, they swept away the people around Ye Qing.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but please make way. My wings don't have eyes."
Ye Qing grinned and charged forward. The crowd quickly retreated, not daring to get close.
The flame wings formed by the Eight Waste Destruction Flame were too hot. It burned the hair of many people, so who would dare to get close?
Soon, Ye Qing successfully ascended to the battle stage and firmly occupied it. His flame wings were extremely large, and when they spread out, they covered the entire battle stage.
The inner sect disciples who tried to snatch the battle stage would be affected by the Eight Waste Destruction Flame's wings, and couldn't move an inch.
In other words, Ye Qing didn't even need to lift a finger. With the wings, he could hold back ten thousand men, and no one would be able to get close.
"Hiss!"
The inner sect disciples who were participating in the competition sucked in a breath of cold air, and their eyes were filled with shock.
The inner sect disciples who were watching the competition were even more shocked. They were completely amazed by Ye Qing.
Among them, there were some female disciples whose eyes were shining. They were full of admiration for Ye Qing. That pair of large black wings was simply too cool!
The dazzling large wings attracted the attention of many young beauties. Some of the young ladies even had stars in their eyes. Ye Qing's style was too eye-catching, and they couldn't control their love for it.
Moreover, that pair of domineering faint black wings directly occupied the entire battle stage. No one dared to get close to it. That aura that shook the ancients and dazzled the contemporaries was incomparable.
"It's easy to get into the top 100 in the ranking competition. I thought you were all Kings, but I didn't expect you to be a bunch of Bronze!" Ye Qing raised his head proudly.
"Oh, oh, right. Sorry, I was wrong. You guys aren't Bronze, but Black Iron!" Ye Qing added.
The inner sect disciples present were very unhappy. Although they didn't understand what Ye Qing meant by Bronze and Black Iron, it was obviously a form of humiliation.
However, Ye Qing was powerful, and a wise man knew when to retreat. None of the inner sect disciples dared to make a move.
More than three thousand inner sect disciples fought fiercely, but it was a pity that none of this had anything to do with Ye Qing. Until the end of the selection, Ye Qing stood steadily on the battle stage, and no one dared to challenge him.
In the selection phase, Ye Qing won without a doubt, and entered the top 100 of the inner sect ranking competition.
Xiao Ziran's face was very ugly. He had previously said that Ye Qing wouldn't be able to enter the top 100, but now the result was beyond his expectations. He felt a burning pain on his face.
Outside the battle stage, there were still many inner sect disciples watching. Xiao Ziran was known as the Undefeatable God of War, and he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Today was the day of the inner sect ranking competition. Xiao Ziran had already made up his mind to teach Ye Qing a lesson. Even if according to the rules of the ranking competition, they couldn't kill each other, he still wanted to make Ye Qing pay a heavy price!
