Chapter 2963 The Ranking Battle Has Begun Translated by Sean, Soya Edited by Lifer, Fingerfox

“I hope we don’t meet each other, Brother Jiang.”

Wang Kucheng looked at Jiang Chen and the others with a bitter smile. Each of them was tough opponents for him so he wished that he would not meet them in the preliminaries. Otherwise, there was no doubt that he would be eliminated.

“We are just trying our luck. Do you expect the new disciples to enter the Top 100 list? It is not that easy to win those ten thousand Heavenly Flame Crystals.”

Feng Yidao curled up his lips. Even though Wang Cheng was an ambitious person, he intended to learn by experience. It was never easy to stand out from thousands of geniuses after all. Other disciples had been cultivating for more than a hundred thousand years, meanwhile he was just a new disciple. Compared to the other’s experience and intelligence, they were at a great disadvantage. Hence, in his point of view, participating was more important than winning.

Lu Dong, Donghuang TaiA and Zi Xi shared the same thought with Wang Cheng. Participating was more important for them at this moment, win or lose would depend on their own fortune.

“Welcome Master Lin!”

A strident voice resounded through the void as Master Lin was floating on the void. She looked calm and benevolent. She then spoke with a faint smile.

“Every Outer Palace’s disciples will have the chance to take part in the Qualifying

Battle and the first prize will be the Purple Devil Taro. It is a Supreme Grade panacea which could work effectively in promoting one’s Soul Realm. The second prize will be two hundred thousand pieces of Heavenly Flame Crystals, 3rd prize, one hundred and fifty thousand Heavenly Flame Crystals, 4th prize, one hundred and twenty thousand Heavenly Flame Crystals and so forth. The prize for the 15th to 50th place would be thirty thousand Heavenly Flame Crystals and 51st to 100th place will be rewarded with ten thousand Heavenly Flame Crystals. You guys knew well that the Heavenly Flame Crystals are the hard currency in our Profound Connection Divine Palace. The longer you cultivate in the four Cultivation Paradises, the more you will learn and you will be able to make great progress in your strength. The Qualifying Battle only happens once in a blue moon and it is right around the corner, I hope you guys would not let me down.“

Master Lin’s speech had stirred up thousands of disciples. The Purple Devil Taro, and the thousands of Heavenly Flame Crystals were a considerable amount of money!

“Good heavens! The amount of Heavenly Flame Crystals! This sounds insane.”

Amo Kehan and the others shook their heads and heaved a deep sigh. They did not plan to take part in the Qualifying Battle this time as they were still new disciples after all. On the other hand, Feng Yidao,Wang Cheng and Donghuang TaiA were going to try their luck and wished to learn something from it. Although they were extraordinarily strong and preeminent, it was not easy to stand out among thousands of powerful experts. The only thing they could do now was to focus on cultivation silently.

“I am bound to get the Purple Devil Taro!”

Yu Chenglong said under his breath, with a beam of light in his eyes.

“Haha. Yu Chenglong, finally you are here. But you have to get through me first if you wish to get the Purple Devil Taro.”

Xiao Qinglong stepped lightly and approached slowly. He looked calm and confident, which was quite annoying. Besides Jiang Chen and Yu Chenglong, the others looked unmoved. The name of the Outer Palace’s Three Dragons had never gained an undeserved reputation after all.

“I hope you won’t be eliminated too soon.”

Yu Chenglong said in a low voice.

“It is not necessary to worry about that. Kid, don’t let me meet you. Or else, you’ll not be able to see the rising sun again.”

Xiao Qinglong was staring at Jiang Chen with ferocious eyes. He swore to avenge the Jiang Brothers’ death. Otherwise, he would not be able to maintain a foothold in the Profound Connection Divine Palace in the future.

“I wish you can still be so confident when we meet later.”

Jiang Chen said lightly.

“Hahaha. You’re acting too arrogant, but I enjoy dealing with someone like you. It feels really good to trample on a talented genius.”

Xiao Qinglong was full of confidence. He turned on his heels and left. The Qualifying Battle was just round the corner.

“There are two thousand three hundred and forty eight contestants in all. Ten people will be grouped and there will be two hundred and thirty five groups. Then at the next stage, two hundred and thirty five persons will be selected and divided into teams, two individuals in a group. And one hundred and eighteen will be chosen and would be fighting in pairs. Next, fifty nine people will fight in pairs and thirty persons will be chosen. And lastly, only ten people will advance to the next level and the ten of them will be in the Top 10 final round! Remember, injuries and deaths cannot be avoided during a life-and-death battle. Those who decide to surrender will be saved and those who break the rules will be severely punished.”

Master Lin said smilingly, her eyes were filled with hope and expectation. The world was full of geniuses. She was relieved and pleased to see them competing against each other in the arena.

“Master Ji, would you please draw lots to decide the groups.”

Master Lin said with a faint smile and disappeared behind the clouds.

Qian Renji was holding thousands of bamboo sticks and then spread them over the sky.

“On the Martial Arena, two hundred and thirty five groups are listed and marked with proper order of battle. I hope you guys could live up to Master Lin’s expectations.”

Soon after Qian Renji finished his words, two thousand people took their own bamboo sticks. Ten contestants were divided into one group. It was destined to be an intense elimination round and nineteen percent of the contestants would be quickly eliminated. The battle between the geniuses was indeed cruel and hard.

Jiang Chen held the bamboo stick in his hand and headed for the Martial Arena. He was assigned to group 172!

There were no familiar faces in Jiang Chen’s group but all of them were Divine King experts. Two of them were about to break through the boundary.

“If you quit now, perhaps I will spare your life and you could continue on with your cultivation.”

An arrogant man said coldly, staring at Jiang Chen and the other contestants.

“Get over yourself. Do you think that you are capable of making the nine of us surrender? You’re just kidding yourself.”

It was a cruel and intense elimination round. One versus nine, it was not merely a test to prove their strength but a trial to examine their abilities to size up the situation when facing challenges. Only the well-thought person would win the battle.

Jiang Chen seemed calm and composed. The moment the nine of them struck out, he did not pull his punches and show mercy to his opponents. He hit a blow and one of them was thrown out immediately. And then the nine Late Divine King Realm experts were defeated by Jiang Chen. It happened in the twinkling of an eye. Jiang Chen’s performance had grabbed their attention and most of them were stunned. There was no doubt that Jiang Chen’s strength was superior to the other nine participants. They were no match for him.

“Jiang Chen’s reputation is well-deserved, you’re an honour to our Lone Dragon County.”

Luo Ping said in a low voice, his face was lit up with joy. Even though there was a significant difference between Jiang Chen and himself, Jiang Chen’s achievement had made him feel satisfied and proud. A good tree is a good shelter after all, Jiang Chen was still a reliable and trustworthy man for all of them. Otherwise, they would be bullied by Qin Feng and unable to fight back. The entire Lone Dragon County did not wish to recall the miserable days.

In the new disciples’ camp, Wang Cheng, Feng Yidao, Donghuang TaiA, Lu Dong and Zi Xi suffered a severe defeat! None of them could advance to the final rounds. Jiang Chen was the only person who made it, he swept through the world and got through to the next round.

“You are our pride, Brother Jiang is incredibly strong.”

“Of course, it goes without saying that Brother Jiang is strong. Hahaha. He already proved his strength by killing the Jiang Brothers alone. The Jiang Brothers were not ordinary experts and they would be able to enter the Top 100 if they were still alive. Jiang Chen was slowly getting stronger and stronger. I am certain that he will be able to enter the Top 50 and will most probably advance to the final round.”

“It is just impressive to have such a stunning performance as a new disciple.”

“Who told you that it is impossible for a new disciple to gain a high ranking in the Qualifying Battle? Hahaha. I think even those disciples who have been cultivating for ten thousand years or even thirty thousand years might be inferior to Jiang Chen. Who deserves to be called a genius? Jiang Chen is a genius.”

Jiang Chen was receiving a spontaneous cheer from the entire Lone Dragon County and even caused a great stir in the new disciples area.
