“Just you? Your old man came to say that to me!”
The Buji Swordsman said indifferently, and then turned around and changed back to his position, seemingly not even bothered about this hand-to-hand fight he had just had with Mai Yang.
Lin Ran and Li Ba were watching from the side, and as soon as Bu Er Swordsman left, that rickety youth laughed and patted Mai Yang’s a*s.
Something about Brother Mai being mighty, Brother Mai being overbearing and all that!
“Boss! What do you think of this Ascension List?”
Li Ba glanced at the two blandly, then asked Lin Ran.
“Which aspect are you referring to?”
Lin Ran asked rhetorically, the Ascension Ranking covered so many things, how would he know what Li Baba was talking about!
“It’s this first level of ranking, I always feel that that Bu Er Swordsman can’t be any worse than Mai Yang! Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to shout at him like that!”
Li Ba said.
Lin Ran nodded at his words and said.
“This first level of the Ascension Ranking can actually only reflect each person’s strength in a very general way, but if they really fight, that fighting power can’t be completely proportional to their strength!”
“This Mai Sunshine is indeed suppressing Bu Er Swordsman head to head in terms of strength, but if the two really fought, I’m afraid Bu Er Swordsman would have a better chance of winning!”
“Hmm!”
Li Ba nodded at his words, in fact he thought the same thing in his heart!
“Alright, just wait and see, I guarantee that among the participants this time, there won’t be fewer people who are stronger than Mai Yang!”
Lin Ran laughed.
Li Ba nodded at his words and said no more.
At this time, as Mai Yang and Gou Mou left the Heavenly Ranking Stone, a second wave of people rushed up and began to test their strength!
There were quite a few cultivators coming to Xue City to take part in the selection process, but there were ten at a time and they were all doing it at the same time, so the pace wasn’t too slow!
After only half an hour, the order of the names on the Ascension List had changed dramatically!
Lin Ran almost watched as the names of Mai Yang and Bu Er Swordsman were gradually dropped from first and second place.
And by the time the test was halfway through, the two men’s names were already in eighth and ninth place!
And the first seven people in front of them Lin Ran actually didn’t know any of them!
“Boss!”
This was Xue Cheng’s own boss being squeezed into eighth place, which really made his face as a subordinate shine!
And his ranking had already dropped out of the top 50!
But he didn’t care at all, as if Mai Yang’s ranking was more important than his own!
“It can’t be helped! All these people are coming for the Xue Cheng spot, I knew this would happen! As long as they don’t iterate out of the top ten!”
Mai Yang rea*sured himself, which seemed very composed!
However, the heavens seemed to be playing a joke on him.
As soon as his words fell, a stream of light instantly overtook his name and directly topped the rankings!
“Hm?”
Mai Yang watched with a slight frown, his fists unconsciously clenching!
And Lin Ran at the side also looked at the same time at a figure in front of the Heavenly Ranking Stone, only to see that the one who had reached the top was actually a woman!
The woman was wearing a lavender robe, looking extraordinary, and her appearance was actually very beautiful as she turned around.
At this moment, her whole body was permeated with a noble aura, and at a glance, she was not from an ordinary family.
“Leng Qiu?”
Seeing this person’s name at the top, Lin Ran couldn’t help but make a secret note that at this time, the first level of the test was already more than halfway through, and most of the people with strength had already been revealed.
And being able to reach the top at this point was enough to show that this person’s strength was extraordinary!
“Boss be worried, you definitely won’t fall out of the top ten!”
At the side, Gou Mou was busy speaking to comfort him.
Leng Qiu’s sudden rise to the top had directly pushed Mai Yang down to ninth place, and Bu Er Jian Ke had even dropped to tenth place!
If another person overtook Mai Yang, he would become the tenth, and by then he would only be one place short of falling out of the top ten!
“Hmph!”
Mai Yang coldly snorted, not saying anything! But in his heart, he was vaguely uneasy!
The test continued, but there were fewer and fewer dark horses, and Mai Yang’s name remained steady at ninth place!
However, the heavens seemed destined to deny Mai Yang a place in the top ten this time!
Just as the test was drawing to a close, another stream of light suddenly shot up into the sky and overtook Leng Qiu to regain the first place!
“What?”
Seeing this scene, not only Mai Yang but also the others around him could not help but feel a tightening in their hearts.
This first level of examination was about to end, how come there was still someone who hadn’t shown their strength!
The crowd looked towards the Heavenly Ranking, and when they did, they were all stunned, even Lin Ran and Li Ba were frozen!
They saw that the person occupying the first place was none other than a name Lin Ran and Li Ba had seen on the Ascension List before, and that person’s name was “1”.
“Boss, this person is really deep!”
Li Ba said from the side!
“Yes! I don’t know what this person’s origins are!”
Looking at the “1” dressed in black robes under the Heavenly Ranking Stone, Lin Ran was also a little more curious!
This “1” was obviously not the other party’s real name, it seemed that the other party did not want to reveal himself, but at the same time, he was too lazy to name himself, so he simply used this “1” as a code name!
I just don’t know why he did it, it was a bit too flashy to be honest!
And with “1” on top, Leng Qiu instantly dropped to second place, and from afar Leng Qiu watched with a slight frown, and couldn’t help but pout as if she was very dissatisfied!
At this time, Mai Yang, who was at the side, was so nervous that her palms were clenched and her hands were full of cold sweat! He was obviously very worried about his ranking!
He was in tenth place, and if only one person overtook him, then he would be completely out of the top ten!
Although the selection was for the top 100 to pa*s, but at his own doorstep, he actually didn’t even make it into the top 10, this would not help but make him very embarra*sed!
“Boss, don’t worry, this test is down to the last group of people, absolutely no one will be able to squeeze you out!”
Gou Xie said at the side.
But Mai Yang didn’t say a word, obviously his whole body was in a state of tension!
Seeing this, Gou Mou didn’t dare to say anything more. He could only calculate in his mind what to do!
Soon, the old man’s voice rang out again!
“The last group of people in the first level of the test will come on!”
As the old man’s voice fell, Lin Ran also stood up from his position.
“Go for it boss!”
Li Ba made a cheering gesture at Lin Ran, who smiled and whirled towards the Heavenly Ranking Stone!
Lin Ran was dressed very puffily and wore a black cloth on his head to cover his cheeks, all so no one could see his appearance.
And at this point many people had actually started to celebrate in advance, because after all, there was only the last group left, and in the people’s perception the probability of a dark horse appearing in the last group was very low!
Lin Ran naturally didn’t care about what these people were thinking! He walked straight towards the Heavenly Ranking Stone!
However, just as he reached the Heavenly Ranking Stone, he suddenly felt two gazes fall on him.
These two gazes were staring deadly at him, as if they were staring at prey, and he turned his head towards the gazes!
At first glance the face behind the black cloth tightened!
Only to see that in the crowd, an old man and a middle-aged man were staring at him with deadly eyes.
And who else could these two be if not Li Jiang and Master Fang!
