The last four groups also had the opportunity to challenge the top 164 people on the Genius Ranking and qualify to compete for the Ranking of Young Lords.
Almost every warrior at the bottom of the ranking was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
The challenges at the bottom were even more intense.
Although the people in the last four groups were listed on the Genius Ranking, the direct descendants of the seven Sacred Venerates would take up 36 spots. Therefore, the last 36 people on the Genius Ranking would be eliminated.
Therefore, the challenges at the bottom were very intense.
At the end of the day, a total of eight succeeded.
After the successful challenges, the last round was the revival of the eliminated geniuses.
They also only had one chance to be revived.
Moreover, only those who had been eliminated by the top 30 geniuses were qualified to participate in the revival challenge.
The revival challenge also had to be against the top 164 on the Genius Ranking.
Of course, there were not many geniuses who were qualified to participate in the revival challenge, except for a few unlucky ones.
Bai Ji was one of them.
There was someone who was even more unlucky than Bai Ji. It was a disciple from the Shengling Mansion who had lost in the battle.
There were more than a dozen people who chose to participate in the revival challenge, but only the disciple from the Shengling Mansion and Bai Ji succeeded.
Bai Ji had chosen his opponent very well. After a tough battle, he defeated his opponent and replaced him in the 156th place on the Genius Ranking.
With that, the Genius Ranking was finalized.
The top 164 warriors on the Genius Ranking, plus the 36 geniuses under The Blessed One, would compete for the Ranking of Young Lords.
Of course, only 36 warriors would be able to make it to the Ranking of Young Lords.
Most of the warriors on the Genius Ranking were just there to accompany the crown prince.
There were no more than 10 geniuses who were qualified to compete for the Ranking of Young Lords.
And there were no more than three who could make it to the Ranking of Young Lords.
The rules for the Ranking of Young Lords were completely different from the previous two rounds.
Thirty-six descendants of the seven Saint Sages occupied the Ranking of Young Lords.
The other 164 geniuses on the Genius Ranking were only qualified to challenge them.
Every warrior had one chance to challenge them.
Moreover, the target of the challenge was very particular.
Only the geniuses in the first group of the Genius Ranking were qualified to challenge the geniuses who were currently ranked 21st on the Ranking of Young Lords.
The geniuses in the second group were only qualified to challenge the geniuses ranked 22nd on the Ranking of Young Lords.
If the cycle continued, the sixteenth group could only challenge the thirty-sixth genius on the Ranking of Young Lords.
The ten geniuses in each zone of the Genius Roll only had one chance to challenge. Furthermore, the opponent they challenged was the same martial artist.
Menglin was in the first group of the Ranking of Young Lords, so he could only challenge the 21st ranked genius in the first round.
As for the top twenty geniuses on the Ranking of Young Lords, they didn't even need to come out to accept challenges.
Only the sixteen young lords ranked twenty-first to thirty-sixth on the Ranking of Young Lords came out to defend the arena.
As the arena master, he would accept challenges from the geniuses of each zone on the Genius Ranking.
In previous years, this kind of challenge had often resulted in zero results.
This meant that none of the geniuses on the Genius Ranking had succeeded in their challenge.
In the end, the 36th place on the Ranking of Young Lords remained unchanged. All of them belonged to the geniuses under The Blessed One.
This kind of situation was not uncommon in the past.
However, in this year's Ranking of Young Lords, there were a few warriors who had a chance of winning the challenge. Moreover, they were all in the first group.
The rules of the challenge were very cruel.
If one of the geniuses in the first group defeated the twenty-first challenger.
Then the other geniuses in the first group would go up and challenge the twentieth genius.
If two geniuses succeeded in their challenge, the remaining martial artists would have to challenge the nineteenth-ranked genius.
The same went for the other groups.
Of course, the chances of the other groups succeeding in their challenge were close to zero.
Basically, those who succeeded in challenging the arena master of the Ranking of Young Lords had all been in the first group of the Genius Roll, which was the top ten geniuses.
Those who couldn't even enter the top ten on the Genius Roll had almost no chance of succeeding in their challenge against the young lords.
Therefore, only the first group of the Genius Roll had a chance of winning the Ranking of Young Lords.
The ten geniuses in the first group of the Genius Roll had already fought against each other.
They all had the same opponent, the twenty-first genius on the Ranking of Young Lords.
He was Lun Jingshan, a true disciple under The Blessed One.
This Lunjing Mountain could be ranked in the top three of the Jiedu Sage's subordinates. His combat prowess was incredible. However, the information Meng Lin obtained was very fragmented.
Obviously, the geniuses under The Blessed One didn't move around in the secular world. Even the people on the Holy Spirit Island were not familiar with these young lord level geniuses.
Geniuses at the young lord level all had their own Dao and plans.
Those who were high-profile might have a better reputation.
Those who were low-key might not even know their depth.
The Ranking of Young Lords was actually based on the internal coordination of the seven The Blessed One. Sometimes, it didn't accurately reflect their actual combat strength.
The first genius to challenge Lun Jingshan was Yun Meng from Yunzhi Mansion.
Menglin had some impression of him.
Previously, Menglin had fought with him in the ranking battles. Although this martial artist was very talented, he seemed to be more interested in medicine. Among the top ten on the Genius Roll, he was indeed weaker.
As expected, when he got on the stage, Lun Jingshan didn't even get up. He was knocked out of the arena in a few moves.
It wasn't that Yun Meng was so weak that he couldn't even take two or three moves.
From Meng Lin's point of view, Lun Jingshan was trying to establish his authority by using a powerful mystique right from the start. It was to intimidate the challengers behind him and make them back off. It could be said that he was killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
Sure enough, after seeing Yun Meng defeated so easily, the other geniuses who went on the stage were also defeated.
Almost none of them lasted more than fifteen minutes.
When Meng Lin saw this scene, he also had a preliminary understanding of Lun Jing Mountain.
Although this person had outstanding talent and was worthy of being the True Disciple of the Saint, he was still a little narrow-minded and did not have enough foresight.
Although this kind of martial artist was very talented and was The Blessed One's disciple, he definitely wouldn't be the successor of The Blessed One.
Menglin was almost certain of this.
Menglin still had the ability to judge people based on their temperament.
Perhaps Lun Jingshan's talent wasn't suitable to be in charge of The Blessed One's sect. As an elder, it might be more suitable for him to be in charge of this.
Continuous challenges and continuous defeats.
