Chapter 50: Let Xi Liang See What You’re Made Of
“Hey, do you think the Qingyun Sect will come to recruit disciples?” someone suddenly asked.
“You aren’t thinking of joining the Qingyun Sect, are you?”
“Well, I’m afraid that the other sects won’t take me in, so I left a guarantee. After all, the Qingyun Sect nurtured Li Yu, and Ye Qiu entered that sect. I think although this sect is small, it still has solid foundations!
“Furthermore, that sect is small. Perhaps it does not have such strict requirements for entry! It’s not a bad choice for us ordinary people!”
“Mm, I think so too. Since Li Yu could cultivate an ordinary physique to the top of the Physique Rankings, the Qingyun Sect must have a unique cultivation technique!”
“However, I feel that this matter still needs some consideration. After all, this matters to our future. It’s safer to choose a large sect! However, if you want to take the unconventional path, you can give it a try!” Countless young people gathered and conversed.
At this moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd behind. Everyone looked over curiously and saw that the crown prince had arrived.
Those elites from the Xi Liang Dynasty followed behind.
Under the protection of the royal guards, they passed through the crowd and entered the Dao Seeking Square.
After that, Zhu Xiaotian from the Zhu family, Yi Caidie from the Yi family, and the other elites ranked in the top ten of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings entered the Dao Seeking Square after one another with their families escorting them.
After everyone arrived at the Dao Seeking Square, they went straight to the arena in the center and gathered there.
Meanwhile, the young elites from the Xi Liang Dynasty arrived at the arena, ready to challenge the top ten geniuses of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings.
A total of five people in the top ten of the Xi Liang Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings have arrived.
# 1 Ji Qinglan.
# 2 Gu Tianlong.
# 5 Du Yun.
# 6 Lu Chunqing.
# 7 Ma Tianhou.
While almost all of the top ten experts of the Great Xia Dynasty were present.
Of course, the top ten were the updated rankings after the Netherworld Demon Sect was destroyed.
Before long, the people outside the square were allowed in. The entire Dao Seeking Square was instantly packed with people.
Everyone gathered around the arena and waited for the show to begin.
“Senior Brother, should we go take a look too?” Ye Qiu looked at the crowded arena and asked with anticipation.
“You go first. If you want to join the competition, go ahead. Let those people from Xi Liang see what you’re made of. At the same time, advertise for our sect. I’ll go over after I finish these ten roasted chickens!” Li Yu babbled as he munched down a roasted chicken.
“Okay, then I’ll go first!” Ye Qiu rushed to the stage excitedly.
The martial arts competition between the two countries was about to begin. The array formation was activated and enveloped the stage.
The first fighter of the Xi Liang Dynasty was the seventh-ranked Ma Tianhou, facing the tenth-ranked Wang Chengheng from the Great Xia Dynasty.
After the two of them introduced themselves, the battle began.
Wang Chengheng was the first to attack, while Ma Tianhou remained on the spot with a cold smile.
A punch was thrown, and plentiful spiritual energy surged out like a raging storm.
Bang!
Wang Chengheng was thrown out of the ring.
“Next!” Ma Tianhou looked at the crowd below with a smug.
“Humph, what’s there to be smug about defeating our number ten!”
“That’s right, Xi Liang people are too full of themselves!” The crowd shouted unhappily.
“Sun Zhan of the Five Elements Sect would like to take on the challenge!” A young man jumped onto the stage after the array formation was closed.
Sun Zhan was currently ranked eighth on the Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings.
Ma Tianhou’s condescending sneer irritated Sun Zhan greatly. He cupped his hands slightly and attacked first.
However, as expected, he did not manage to withstand a single move from Ma Tianhou.
After that, Yi Caidie went up the stage, but she was also defeated after only blocking two moves from Ma Tianhou.
At this moment, the complacency on Ma Tianhou’s face intensified. He looked down and said, “No one in this country can fight. The Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings are indeed lousy!”
Once he said it, the people from the Great Xia Dynasty were angered and booed him.
They knew that Yi Caidie and the others used to rank outside the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
It was only after the Netherworld Demon Sect was destroyed that they were able to enter the top ten.
Therefore, it was expected that they could not beat Xi Liang’s seventh place on the Hidden Dragon Rankings in terms of cultivation and capability.
However, everyone was still unhappy with the Xi Liang people’s smug look.
“Your Highness, your turn!” Ma Tianhou looked down at Murong Xingqiao with a teasing expression.
The pride in his eyes made the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty rub their fists in anger, especially Ye Qiu.
He really wanted to go on stage and defeat everyone from the Xi Liang Dynasty.
Murong Xingqiao jumped onto the stage, and enthusiastic shouts and cheers immediately erupted from below.
Although Ma Tianhou still had a cold smile on his lips, his gaze turned serious.
He knew that Murong Xingqiao was the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Murong Xingqiao was ranked sixth and possessed the fourth-ranked Profound Essence Spirit Body.
If he could defeat him, he could definitely slap everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty in the face.
He would also be rewarded by His Majesty when he returned to Xi Liang.
However, this time, his plan failed. The moment Murong Xingqiao attacked, his expression instantly changed.
Bang!
It was one move again, but the person who flew off the stage was Ma Tianhou.
In an instant, waves of cheers erupted like a tsunami from the square.
Though he was still immersed in the delicacies, Li Yu could not help but look at the combat arena curiously.
“It seems like Murong Xingqiao won!”
Before long, another round of cheering erupted. Lu Chunqing, ranked sixth in the Xi Liang Dynasty, was beaten.
Murong Xingqiao had already awakened her Profound Essence Spirit Body through the reward of the Heavenly Dao Rankings, the Profound Mixed Essence Technique, and the Holy Spirit Pill.
Her strength had improved remarkably. Thus, although Lu Chunqing was decent, he was no longer Murong Xingqiao’s match.
This time, it was those from Xi Liang who seemed worried.
“He has already awakened his Profound Essence Spirit Body. He has gotten stronger!” Elder Nie’s voice sounded in Ji Qinglan’s mind.
Ji Qinglan nodded. The sudden appearance of the 3000 Physique Rankings had made their challenge more difficult.
Almost everyone in the top six of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings was on the Constitution Rankings.
With the Heavenly Dao reward, Murong Xingqiao’s strength was already worlds apart from a few days ago.
Otherwise, he would definitely not be Lu Chunqing’s match.
“Xi Liang Dynasty’s fifth on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Du Yun, would like to spar with you!” A short-haired man with a resolute expression jumped onto the stage.
The atmosphere among the crowd remained enthusiastic as they kept cheering for Murong Xingqiao.
The battle began. Murong Xingqiao was actually on par with Du Yun. They were equally matched, and the match entered a state of suspense.
However, Murong Xingqiao, who had the home ground advantage, became more and more ferocious the more the battle dragged on.
The Crown Prince’s aura gradually suppressed Du Yun. In the end, he seized the opportunity when Du Yun exposed an opening and won with a decisive strike.
“Yes!” Everyone cheered jubilantly again.
Even Murong Xingqiao did not expect that she would make a breakthrough in her cultivation at the crucial moment and defeat Du Yun, who was ranked fifth in the Xi Liang Dynasty.
At the same time, the Hidden Dragon Rankings in the sky suddenly changed.
Murong Xingqiao’s ranking switched with the original fifth place, Great Sky Dao Sect’s Zhao Ziming.
“The Crown Prince’s ranking has increased. Has he broken through in his cultivation?!”
“Impressive, impressive! The Crown Prince is indeed impressive. After some time, he would probably break into the top three of the Hidden Dragon Rankings!”
“That’s right. After all, the Crown Prince is ranked fourth on the 3000 Physique Rankings!”
At that point, the Great Xia Dynasty’s side was already fired up as everyone cheered in excitement.
Meanwhile, the people from the Xi Liang Dynasty seemed disgraced. Their arrogance from before was nowhere to be seen.
After defeating Du Yun, Murong Xingqiao looked at Gu Tianlong, who was ranked second in the Xi Liang Dynasty, with eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Gu Tianlong went onto the stage and cupped his hands. “Your Highness has proved formidable, but there’s a huge difference in our level. If you spar with me, me getting called a bully shall be inevitable. Your Highness, you’d better return. Is Ye Qiu here? Do you dare to come up and compete with me?” Gu Tianlong looked around the crowd below the stage and announced.
