It was silent the entire night.
The second day, when the day turned bright, everyone in Nimble Valley opened their eyes.
They knew the climax of this years Rising Sky Ranking Battle had finally arrived.
Today, the top ten rankings of the Rising Sky Ranking would be finalized.
Today, the top ten of the Rising Sky Ranking will be decided. If Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, still doesnt show up, hell be disqualified from being ranked in the Rising Sky Ranking! Up until now, people were still talking about Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
Perhaps, Xu Jing might not be the most outstanding powerhouse among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion, but he was certainly the one with the highest position among the middle-aged generation due to his fathers position as the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. He was also the strongest person in the Rising Sky Mansion District.
Hell definitely come unless he doesnt want to be the next Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, someone said.
Well see if he comes today. Everyone was looking forward to seeing if he would show up.
Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion... You must show up. Otherwise, my trip here would be in vain, Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he hugged the Jasper Celestial Sword. His voice was so soft that nobody heard his words at all.
As Ren Zhong, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, and Liu Hong Guang, the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion, made their moves, the majestic and boundless Nimble Chess Set appeared again. Just like yesterday and the day before, they appeared in the Mysterious Illusory Formation as ten huge chess pieces hovered in the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of wind whistling reverberated in the air as people landed on the chess pieces and stood at the edge of the chess pieces, creating an empty space in the middle.
Meanwhile, the ten Ring Masters who had lasted until the end of yesterday stood in the middle of the chess pieces, waiting for other challengers to come forth.
To them, today was the most critical day. It would determine whether they would be able to rank in the Rising Sky Ranking or not. Only those who managed to endure until the end of today were qualified to be ranked in the Rising Sky Ranking.
Among the ten people, three of them remained calm.
These three were the Wine-Meat Monk, Yu Xu Zi, and Yin Xu Zi. Among the three of them, the first two were at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage and were likely to be ranked in the Rising Sky Ranking. Yin Xu Zi, on the other hand, was only an Early Refined Saint Stage powerhouse. However, with his strength, there was a high chance he would also be able to enter the Sky Rising Ranking.
As for the other seven people, the people with the gravest expressions were none other than the two Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivators from the Rising Sky Mansion.
Currently, among the ten Ring Masters, they were the weakest.
If somebody was going to issue a challenge, they would definitely pick them first.
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, well able to pick the ten people thatll enter the Rising Sky Ranking today... Tomorrow will be the day the real Rising Sky Ranking Battle takes place. The specific ranking will then be decided based on the participants strength, Ren Zhong said in a timely manner. Now that everyone knows the rules, lets not waste any more time and begin! He announced indifferently.
As soon as Ren Zhong finished speaking, a figure flew out as fast as a flash of lightning.
This person flew out from behind Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion. He was dressed entirely in black, and he had an aloof expression on his face. This person was none other than Xu Can, Xu Cens grandson.
Xu Can! The moment he appeared, he attracted many peoples attention.
In the Rising Sky Mansion, if there was someone worthy enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, it would be Xu Can.
Apart from that, it had been a long time since Xu Can appeared in public so nobody knew how powerful he was currently. However, the fact remained that Xu Can was younger than Xu Jing, and his strength was almost on par with Xu Jing many years back. Currently, even if he was weaker than Xu Jing, it would not be by much.
Moreover, it was apparent the two Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivators from the Rising Sky Mansion had entered the arena yesterday to test the water for him. He had to be more powerful than the other two.
When Xu Can appeared, naturally, he did not pick the two Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivators from the Rising Sky Mansion. Instead, he picked an Early Refined Saint Stage sectless cultivator.
It was obvious this sectless cultivator was much more powerful than the two other disciples. However, it took only one blow for Xu Can to kill him. With a raise of his hand, he mobilized his True Origin and killed his opponent in just one strike. It was simple and neat.
This was Xu Can!
Intermediate Refined Saint Stage! Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang were slightly shocked when they saw Xu Cans strength. They could see his cultivation base was at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage.
Unlike Xu Can, the Wine-Meat Monks cultivation base at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage was the most unstable since he had just broken through not too long ago. Yu Xu Zi was better but it was not by much.
However, Xu Cans cultivation base at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage had long stabilized. This meant he had broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not have been able to wield the True Origin so effortlessly.
Elder Xu Cen, although Ive heard about your grandsons innate talent, I still cant believe how outstanding he is. Look at his innate talent, I believe even your Young Mansion Master cant compare to him, right? Your grandson has really hidden his strength quite well, Ren Zhong mused as he looked at Xu Cen with a complicated gaze.
Thats right. Although Ive heard about your grandson, Elder Xu Cen, in the rumors, its said that hes still inferior to your Young Mansion Master. However, after witnessing this, I feel the Young Mansion Master is far inferior compared to your grandson in terms of innate talent, Liu Hong Guang remarked.
Xu Cen felt as though he was on top of the world when he saw the envy in Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guangs eyes.
Everyone loved to hear praises. Moreover, the one Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guan praised was his grandson.
I cant believe Xu Can has already broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage! At the same time, the group of Rising Sky Mansions elders and disciples were shocked as well as they whispered among themselves. It was obvious they did not know Xu Can was already an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
Some of the Rising Sky Mansions elders who were more perceptive commented, Based on the True Origin Xu Can displayed earlier, it seems like he has broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage quite a while ago.
The group of disciples from the Rising Sky Mansion was instantly baffled. Then, does this mean Xu Can broke through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage earlier than the Young Mansion Master did?
Although the disciples of Rising Sky Mansion had no confirmation their Young Mansion Master had broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage, they knew it was unlikely for their Young Mansion Master to have not broken through since they knew about the huge amount of cultivation resources in their Rising Sky Mansion.
Even if Young Mansion Master has made a breakthrough, he might not necessarily be a match for Xu Can.
Thats right! Xu Can has broken through quite a while ago after all.
