After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 173 Challenge
Soon it was five days later, the day when all the contestants returned from the border battlefield. Pei Yun and others came to the Guandao Platform early in the morning.
This time they still sat in the same corner, but they were no longer as anonymous as before. The onlookers at the scene frequently cast strange glances at them, pointing and whispering at them...
At noon, the nine elders sitting on the viewing platform activated the teleportation array, and batches of contestants were directly teleported to the high platform in the center.
After all, they had stayed in there for three months, and many contestants had heard about Pei Yun and his five companions' bravery in the devil's cave and the prohibition order in the dense forest. So after returning to the Guandao Platform, these contestants would look at Pei Yun and others from time to time.
Even the usually arrogant Pei An and the steady Yin Yanyue couldn't help but look at Pei Yun and his group with curiosity. Of course, they were more concerned about Ling Ziyan.
Qin Gu took out a magic weapon from his space ring and threw it into the air. He and the eight temple elders cast spells. Soon, the magic weapon was instantly enlarged dozens of times and turned into a spirit pool emitting a bright blue light...
"Put your jade tokens in the spirit pond."
As soon as Qin Gu opened his mouth, the contestants placed the jade tokens in their hands into the spirit pool suspended in the air...
Pei Yun observed carefully and found that the jade tokens of Pei An, Yin Yanyue and several other famous geniuses had turned red and black, which showed how fierce the battle with the demons was in the border battlefield...
Everyone looked at the actions of the nine elders in the center, and they were all waiting for the results of the Genius Ranking with excitement, nervousness, and curiosity...
"Who do you think will be first?"
"Is there any need to guess? It must be Pei An from the Extreme Sword Sect!"
"That's not certain, maybe it's Yin Yanyue! Maybe it's a dark horse!"
"...You also saw it on the light screen before. Pei An rushed straight to the inner circle as soon as he entered the battlefield. He killed quickly and fiercely. Who can compare to him? Yin Yanyue is too sentimental. She has been taking care of the junior brothers and sisters below..."
"What a pity! Originally Ling Ziyan could still compete with him, but who would have thought that something like this would happen halfway through, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield..."
"What a pity! Ling Ziyan has done a great deed this time. I heard that they broke into the demon dungeon and not only rescued thousands of people trapped inside, but also seized the demon's treasures. Do you think the temple's reward for them will be low?"
"I also heard from the disciples of Lingyao Sect that the benefits Ling Ziyan and the other four people received this time will not be less than those of the top 100 on the genius list..."
Amid the discussions of the crowd, the spirit pool began to spit out purified jade plates. Within an incense stick of time, a hundred jade plates were suspended in the air in an orderly manner.
One of the temple elders took out an ancient book artifact. After he injected spiritual power into it, the spiritual book with the words "Genius List" automatically flew to the jade plate. The white jade plate returned to its original state, and a ray of light shot out from it and projected onto the pages of the book. The pages quickly displayed the individual's ranking...
After the light from the jade token disappeared, the temple elder took back the spiritual book and began to announce the rankings: "The 100th is Lu Yu from the Silver Spear Sect, the 99th is Qi Wei from the Wanhai Sect... the third is Wu Qi from the Extreme Sword Sect, the second is Yin Yanyue from the Xianlan Sect, the first is Pei An from the Extreme Sword Sect..."
"This Jijian Sect is indeed worthy of being the number one sect in Haoyu Continent. Two of the top three are actually disciples of Jijian Sect..."
"What a pity! Ling Ziyan was definitely in the top three!"
"The spiritual book 'Genius List' is a book of luck. It is related to the luck of individuals, sects, and even the entire Taoist sect. It seems that the Jijian Sect can still prosper for many more years..."
The people present were discussing it, and some even calculated it on the spot. Compared with the previous session, many sects had weakened, many had risen, and some unexpected dark horses had emerged...
"It's all your fault! I told you not to let Yan Yue waste her time. If it weren't for these disciples who spent nearly half a month on the periphery, Yan Yue might have a glimmer of hope to surpass Pei An..."
"Elder Yin, this is the Sect Master's order. We are just following the Sect Master's arrangements. Even if she is your niece and your disciple, you cannot disobey the Sect Master's orders..."
Several elders of the Xianlan Sect started arguing on the spot.
The elders from Lingyao Sect were all very calm. Except for Ling Ziyan, the rankings of others were basically as expected, with little fluctuation compared to the level of the previous batch of disciples.
Of course, Ling Ziyan's performance in the prison this time also made their Lingyao sect shine in front of other sects, and everyone in the Lingyao sect had a smug and proud expression on their faces!
Especially since they also know that Ling Ziyan still has a chance to challenge, and with his level, it is no problem for him to be in the top three!
The real show has just begun!
As expected, before the monks who were selected into the top 100 of the genius list had time to be happy, the temple elder announced another shocking news!
"Due to special circumstances this time, the top 100 rankings are only temporary..." The temple elder announced in public, "Pei Yun, Luo Rufeng, Luo Qi, Liang Feng, Ling Ziyan, the five of you please come up to the stage..."
For a moment, there was silence all around. Everyone watched Pei Yun and the other four walk up to the central platform, and they were all very interested in how the situation would develop...
"...the five of them bravely entered the demon dungeon, rescued the people trapped inside, and seized the Demon Realm Stone, preventing the demons from succeeding in their evil plan. Therefore, our nine temple elders have decided to give each of them two opportunities to challenge the top 100 monks. As long as they win in the arena, they can take the opponent's ranking, and the loser's ranking will be relegated one place, and the ranking of the person behind him will also be relegated one place..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. After a few moments of silence, the place suddenly became noisy and noisy. They didn't expect the temple to play like this! This...
"I don't agree!" The first person to speak out in public and express his opposition was Lu Yu, the 100th person from the Silver Spear Sect. This was normal. If there was an opportunity to challenge, Ling Ziyan would definitely be able to win a seat regardless of others. Then wouldn't he, Lu Yu, be an obvious cannon fodder?
He thought he had made it into the Genius List, and he was so happy that he cried. But now, this situation was like he was falling from the sky. With red eyes, he said with strong resentment and anger:
"The Spirit Book has clearly selected me as the 100th. Why should I give them an extra chance just because they can't participate in the battle on the border battlefield due to the accident they had? Where is the fairness in this? Shouldn't all those who have accidents be allowed to compete in the arena in the future? Then why go to the border battlefield..."
"They have made great achievements and outstanding contributions to our Taoist sect, so we give them the opportunity..."
"Then why not announce it before the rankings on the genius list are announced? This, this..."
It was simply a waste of his joy, how could he feel? If it had been made clear at the beginning, he could have accepted it in his heart, but he had to be sent to hell after he was ecstatic.
The temple elders also discovered something wrong and believed that the news should have been announced before the rankings were announced.
Not only Lu Yu, but several other cultivators who were ranked lower expressed their dissatisfaction. Some onlookers at the scene also made some unpleasant remarks, questioning its fairness.
This was something Pei Yun and the other four had not thought of before, but if he thought about it carefully, he could understand their feelings. It was like being in the clouds and then falling heavily to the ground, which was not a pleasant feeling.
In fact, Pei Yunluoqi and Liang Feng were about to give up. The lowest cultivation level of the top 100 on the genius list was the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. The three of them would be killed instantly if they went up.
Mainly Luo Rufeng and Ling Ziyan, but they were also reasonable people. They looked at each other, nodded slightly, and were ready to give up the opportunity to choose.
Unexpectedly, Qin Gu stood up at this time and proposed:
"Although the five people fought desperately against the demons for special reasons and made contributions to our sect, this is indeed not fair to the contestants entering the border battlefield. I think we should write the deeds of the five people at the top of this ranking. This will not only highlight their contributions, but also not affect the ranking..."
He looked at Ling Ziyan and Luo Rufeng and said, "As for the two arena challenges, they will continue. You can choose any cultivator in the first 100. As long as you win, it will be recorded in the book. Even if you don't get a ranking, your strength will be seen by everyone present and will be recorded in the genius list..."
"Thank you, Venerable Qin Gu." The five people bowed to Qin Gu with gratitude. This solution was the best that could be achieved with both parties.
"Do you have anyone to challenge?"
"I am not strong enough to show off, so I choose to give up."
"The juniors also give up."
Pei Yun and the other two chose to abstain.
"I choose..." Ling Ziyan tapped the folding fan in his hand, revealing a hint of a smile, as if he was thinking casually, and finally pointed at the woman not far away, "...I choose to challenge Yin Yanyue."
As expected, when this was said, no one was surprised at all. In Ling Ziyan's generation, he, Yin Yanyue and Pei An had been competing with each other for many years. Pei An was basically the first, and the other two had won and lost against each other...
Yin Yanyue also slightly raised the corners of her lips and looked at him with full fighting spirit. Not only was she not disgusted by Ling Ziyan's challenge, but she was eager to try.
"What about you?" Qin Gu asked Luo Rufeng who was silent beside Ling Ziyan.
Luo Rufeng glanced at everyone and finally stopped his gaze on Pei An. Under everyone's attention, he turned to look at Ling Ziyan:
"I choose to challenge Ling Ziyan."
