The ranking on the list was accurate. At least, the top 30 were quite capable. After Lu Li and the others made it to the next level, more and more people made it to the next level. The top 30 were the fastest.
That being said, not many people paid attention to them. Most of them were looking at two people.
One was the young man in black who killed two people and the other was the girl who was suspected to be the number one on the list, Yin Qingsi.
After Yun Kaiyue made it to the next level, his eyes never left the veiled girl. He didn't move his eyes away even when someone was talking to him.
There could only be two explanations for Yun Kaiyue to pay so much attention to her. Either Yun Kaiyue liked this girl or she was Yin Qingsi, who was ranked higher than him.
It was unlikely that Yun Kaiyue liked a girl. He was known to be obsessed with martial arts. Over the years, there was no rumor of him having an affair with any young lady.
He had passed the third Heaven Tribulation seven or eight years ago. Other young masters and young ladies would have slacked off and enjoyed their youth. However, Yun Kaiyue had been staying in the Tower of Sacred Essence and never stepped out.
There was a rumor that Yun Kaiyue was the son of Yun Chuixue's concubine. Yun Kaiyue was not treated well and his mother was often bullied.
When Yun Kaiyue was young, he swore that he would cultivate until he was stronger than Yun Chuixue. Then, he would make Yun Chuixue apologize to his mother on his knees …
No one knew if the rumor was true but Yun Kaiyue's reputation as a martial arts addict was probably true. This time, he rarely responded to anyone who greeted him, not even the chosen ones from the top 10 forces.
If this person wasn't arrogant and supercilious, then he wasn't good at socializing or didn't like it.
Therefore, many people believed that Yun Kaiyue had been staring at the veiled girl because she was Yin Qingsi.
Some people went to ask Yun Kaiyue, but Yun Kaiyue didn't say anything.
"Even if she is not the number one on the list, Yin Qingsi is strong. She can be as strong as the top five on the list."
Lu Li murmured with certainty after watching the veiled girl fight several times.
Just now, a warrior who had undergone three trials was wounded by the veiled girl. Lu Li didn't think he could do it so easily.
"I know who that young man in black is!"
Gan Lin whispered to Lu Li, "He should be a descendant of a force that was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago, the Eastern Devil Palace.
His spear technique is exactly the same as that of the Eastern Devil Palace Palace Lord. It's a very powerful killing move. "
When Axe Demon heard Gan Lin's words, he glanced over and didn't say anything. He should have tacitly agreed with Gan Lin's words.
Gan Lin thought about it and said, "Lu Li, if you run into this person, you must be careful. Warriors of the Eastern Devil Palace are born to be bloodthirsty. Back in the days, they were destroyed because they had committed too many murders. They angered the public and many forces joined forces to attack them.
Who would have thought that after tens of thousands of years, their descendants would appear again?
The people of the Eastern Devil Palace are all natural killers. As long as they fight, they will try their best to kill their enemies. They will not rest until they are dead. "
Miss Yi nodded slightly, obviously recognizing the identity of the black-clothed young man.
Feng Yima probably did not know and was listening curiously.
Seeing that Gan Lin understood the situation so well, Lu Li asked the masked lady, "Do you know who this man is?
Is it Yin Qingsi, the number one genius on the Genius List? "
"I don't know about that!"
Gan Lin shook his head and so did Miss Yi. Gan Lin explained, "Nobody has seen Yin Qingsi. This man is masked so we cannot be sure."
"Even if he is not Yin Qingsi, he must be a talented disciple of a hidden family!"
Feng Yima added, "This man is very strong. Not even I can win against him. You must be careful when you run into him."
"…"
Lu Li and the others rolled their eyes. Feng Yima would lose his temper if he didn't show off. He had made it to the Genius List as well but he was not that strong. He made it sound like he was more powerful than the three of them.
"This man is more powerful than Yun Kaiyue!"
Axe Demon suddenly said. He looked at the three and said in a low voice, "She is probably Yin Qingsi, the number one genius on the Genius List."
"Eh?"
Axe Demon's voice was not loud but some people were not far away. His words were heard at once. Axe Demon's words carried weight.
The news spread further and further. Soon, everyone knew that the masked woman was Yin Qingsi.
After Axe Demon finished his words, Lu Li turned to Yun Kaiyue. While others were discussing, Yun Kaiyue's expressions didn't change.
"It must be Yin Qingsi and it is just someone with the same name!"
Lu Li was sure of this. If the lady was not Yin Qingsi, Yun Kaiyue would have changed his expression even if he didn't say anything.
Yun Kaiyue didn't say anything, which was a tacit agreement.
Lu Li was disappointed. He thought he didn't run into any familiar faces. The Blind was his friend from the nine universes. Now, it seemed that it was just someone with the same name.
The young man from the Eastern Devil Palace progressed very fast. All his opponents would admit defeat as soon as they went up. None of them fought later.
None of the powerful warriors fought against him. They were all warriors of the Second Tribulation or average of the Third Tribulation.
The young man from the Eastern Devil Palace floated down after he made the breakthrough. Those around him stepped to the sides. Nobody dared to get close to him. The young man walked to a corner and sat down, ignoring everyone's stares.
The lady who was supposed to be Yin Qingsi made it to the Top 100 easily. Just like Yun Kaiyue and the young man from the Eastern Devil Palace, she didn't use any powerful moves. Her opponents were too weak to force them to do so.
More and more people were making it to the next stage. The number had reached 60 or 70. In an hour at most, the Top 100 would be announced.
Lu Li didn't chat with anyone. He stared at the arenas, watching people using different kinds of moves and skills to broaden his knowledge. At the same time, he wanted to take the chance to learn something.
Lady Yi and Gan Lin were doing the same. Only Feng Yima sneaked to the side and gathered with some young masters and young ladies.
His face was glowing and he was drooling. Clearly, he was bragging again.
An hour later, the Top 100 was announced. Apart from one who was killed, all the top 30 on the list had made it to the next stage.
Disciples of more than a dozen hidden families made it to the next stage as well. Lu Li and the other three from the Omen Island made it to the next stage.
Of course, there were also a few dark horses this time. The most eye-catching were the disciples of the Eastern Devil Palace. Only two people had died in the competition this time, and they were both killed by him. One of them was the divine son of the Chongyang Palace.
This result was not too surprising. Many people had come to participate in the battle already mentally prepared. More of the disciples of the smaller clans had come to broaden their horizons and network.
"The Top 100 is here. The tournament is over. Teleport back to the City of Chaos!"
An old man shouted, "Prepare for the Top 100. The semi-finals will begin in five days. The Top 30 will have the chance to cultivate in the Secret Realm of Primordial Chaos for a year."
