In the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition, only those in the top 100 needed to be ranked.
Of course, those ranked 31st to 100th would receive the same rewards in the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition. In truth, the ranking was just a matter of face.
As for those ranked in the top 30, the higher they were ranked, the richer their rewards were.
In particular, those ranked in the top 10 had the richest rewards. Currently, everyone was able to obtain an Emperor Divine Fruit. This was a divine pill that could allow a higher God King to ignore bottlenecks and break through to the God Sovereign realm.
However, even if the 70 people ranked after the top 100 had the same rewards, the ranking battle was still intense. Everyone was doing their best to climb up.
"It looks like these people are quite smart."
Hou Qingning smiled.
"Of course."
Ding Yan said matter-of-factly. "To be able to cultivate to their level, they aren't fools … although it doesn't matter if they are ranked 31st or 100th, the rewards are the same. But as long as they are in the limelight enough, they might be taken in by a Black Dragon Elder."
"Do they have a chance of becoming a disciple of a Golden Dragon Elder?"
Hou Qingning asked.
"That's basically impossible."
Ding Yan shook his head. "There aren't many Golden Dragon Elders in the Tianlong Clan … every one of them, when placed in the tianlong Clan, has a status equal to the Hidden Fog Sect's Cloudmist and Thunder Elders.
"Not to mention those ranked 31st, even those ranked 11th to 30th would have a status as high as a Golden Dragon Elder. They wouldn't be taken in.
"As for those in the top 10, they might have a glimmer of hope, but it isn't absolute."
Ding Yan was well aware of some of the Tianlong Clan's circumstances.
In the Tianlong Clan, the Black Dragon Elders didn't have the highest status amongst all the Elders … above the Black Dragon Elders were the Golden Dragon Elders. These were the peak powerhouses of the Tianlong Clan. Even when looking at the entire Tianlong Clan, they could be counted on one hand.
The Golden Dragon Elders were all extreme existences amongst higher God Sovereigns.
Even the current Clan Leader of the Tianlong Clan was slightly inferior to them.
In the current Tianlong Clan, the Golden Dragon Elder was the strongest, followed by the Clan Leader, the Vice Clan Leader, and then the Black Dragon Elder … Of course, the strength of the few Black Dragon Elders was not weaker than the current Clan Leader and the Vice Clan Leaders of the Tianlong Clan.
"Elder Golden Dragon …"
Duan Lingtian stood to one side and quietly listened to the conversation between Ding Yan and Hou Qingning. He had only heard that the Tianlong Clan had a few Golden Dragon Elders whose strength was close to that of a God Emperor.
There were even one or two who were only one step away from becoming a God Emperor.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
That day was also the day when the ranking of the top thirty would be decided.
As for the order of the duels, it was still arranged by the ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan … Thirty people, divided into fifteen duels.
It was always the strong against the weak.
Ding Yan entered the ring earlier than Duan Lingtian and lost to his opponent.
The one who defeated Ding Yan was a direct descendant of the Murong family, Murong Luofeng, who was also Murong Yinyue's cousin. When Ding Yan entered the ring, Murong Yinyue privately said that Ding Yan was probably not her cousin's match.
After one duel, Ding Yan lost.
Murong Luofeng's comprehension of the law of nature was not weaker than Ding Yan's. Although her bloodline power was not as strong as Ding Yan's, she easily defeated Ding Yan with her superior cultivation.
Ding Yan wasn't surprised by his defeat.
His cultivation was his biggest flaw.
Of course, to be able to have the cultivation of a Lower Divine King at his age was actually already not bad.
He was less than three thousand years old, but Murong Luofeng was nearly ten thousand years old.
Moreover, Ding Yan was mentally prepared. He knew that with his strength, even if he could squeeze into the top thirty, he would definitely be at the bottom of the top thirty.
When Ding Yan was defeated, Hua Tiandu on the other side also defeated his opponent after ten moves.
Now Hua Tiandu and Ding Yan were the same. Miss Seven also defeated her opponent, but it took her twenty moves to defeat her opponent.
Of course, this did not mean that Hua Tiandu was stronger than Miss Seven.
The difference in strength between the two opponents was not small.
In terms of strength, Duan Lingtian judged that Miss Seven's opponent would have no difficulty in reaching the top twenty.
As for Hua Tiandu's opponent, even if he was not at the bottom, he would at most reach the twenty-fifth place.
"Ouyang Jianchen and Ji Wuchang also won …"
After Hua Tiandu and Miss Seven, Ouyang Jianchen of the Ouyang family and Ji Wuchang of the Hanchu Sect also won one after another.
Then, in the other five duels, five people also won after some fighting, but it was more difficult.
Up until now, the remaining people were all quite strong.
Except for those who were especially strong, the rest were about the same strength.
"Now, there are ten people who are tentatively in the top fifteen."
The battle for the top thirty would also determine the top fifteen people first, and those who were tentatively in the top fifteen would also be challenged by those who were tentatively in the bottom fifteen.
Of course, if the challenge failed, they would also be punished according to the previous rules.
Unless they had enough confidence, otherwise, challenging them would be looking for a beating.
"Duan Lingtian, it's your turn."
There were a total of ten combat rings. After the top twenty people decided on the ten victors, the remaining ten people, including Duan Lingtian, once again ascended the combat rings.
This time, there were only five duels.
And among these five duels, the most eye-catching ones were two of them … One of them was Duan Lingtian's duel.
Duan Lingtian was not unfamiliar to the people present.
It was to the extent that Duan Lingtian could be considered a famous person in the area around the Tianlong Clan, and at the same time, he was also a popular candidate for the top three in the Hidden Dragon Competition in everyone's eyes.
The most important thing was that Duan Lingtian was not even three thousand years old!
Moreover, it was said that he was more than a hundred years younger than Ding Yan, who was not even three thousand years old and had fought his way into the top thirty!
Originally, Ding Yan's limelight was already strong enough.
But Duan Lingtian's limelight had completely overshadowed his. There were even many people who were whispering in private, feeling that Ding Yan was unlucky, and that his limelight had been completely stolen by Duan Lingtian.
As the person involved, Ding Yan naturally heard these whispers, but he did not care.
In his eyes, Duan Lingtian was a freak, and he would not compare himself with Duan Lingtian!
"Ding Yan, how many moves do you think Duan Lingtian will be able to defeat his opponent this time?"
Hou Qingning asked with a smile.
This was also the second time that Duan Lingtian had fought. Since the last time, the strength that Duan Lingtian had displayed made the ten elders of the Tianlong Clan, who were hosting the Hidden Dragon Competition, directly give Duan Lingtian a spot in the top thirty.
This kind of treatment was only given to a small number of people.
And these people, after being temporarily ranked in the top thirty, did not challenge him. Firstly, they all knew that he was strong, and secondly, they all trusted the judgment of the ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan to a certain extent.
"Duan Lingtian's opponent this time is from the God Emperor-level Luosha Sect, and he is the last disciple of the Luosha Sect's leader. He is also one of the two most outstanding young geniuses of the Luosha Sect … If he did not hide any trump cards before, Duan Lingtian will definitely defeat him within ten moves. If he does have any trump cards, he should be able to last a little longer. "
From Ding Yan's words, it was obvious that he was full of confidence in Duan Lingtian.
Their conversation was not soft, and several disciples of the Luosha Sect who were watching nearby heard it. Immediately, their expressions turned ugly, and they glared at the two of them fiercely.
"A loser like you dares to talk about the disciples of Sha Zhenghu?"
The current leader of the Luosha Sect, Sha Zhenghu, was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a resolute and cold face. He glanced indifferently at Ding Yan and Hou Qingning and said with a mocking smile.
"Your disciple will soon become a loser like us."
Unlike Hou Qingning, who was frowning slightly in fear, Ding Yan directly retorted. He did not give them any face just because the other party was the leader of a God Emperor-level sect.
At this time, Hou Qingning also gave Ding Yan a thumbs-up.
Awesome!
It was indeed different to have a backer.
At this moment, Hou Qingning felt that Ding Yan was awe-inspiring, but at the same time, he felt a sense of loss. Why didn't he have a backer who was a Black Dragon Elder in the Tianlong Clan?
In the Tianlong Clan, even if one was a foreign Black Dragon Elder, one had to at least have the strength of a Black Dragon Elder if one wanted to be a Black Dragon Elder.
Otherwise, they would not be given such a high status.
It was not difficult to guess the strength of Ding Yan's uncle. He was at least a High-Level Divine Emperor.
As for a High-Level Divine Emperor, even if he was just an ordinary High-Level Divine Emperor, he was not someone the leader of the Luosha Sect, who was only a Lower Level Divine Emperor, could compare to.
"Boy, you're courting death!"
Sha Zhenghu was enraged by the provocation of a Lower Level Divine King boy. When he looked at Ding Yan again, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his tone was filled with killing intent.
Bang!!
Almost as soon as Sha Zhenghu finished speaking, a loud sound reverberated, causing the ten people in the Five-Way Fighting Ring who were about to fight to stop temporarily.
"Pfff —"
Under the gaze of Duan Lingtian and the others, Sha Zhenghu, the leader of the Luosha Sect, was sent flying. Blood spurted from his mouth, and he only managed to stabilize himself after flying for a few hundred meters.
"This is only a warning … If I hear of anyone who dares to talk nonsense about killing a disciple of the Tianlong Clan, I don't mind sending him on his way."
The voice of the Black Dragon Elder, Blue Feather Mountain, rang in the air.
The person who attacked Sha Zhenghu was none other than him.
Sha Zhenghu's face was as gloomy as still water, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. It was only then that he remembered the boastful person was an inner sect disciple of the Tianlong Clan, just like his last disciple.
However, this person actually dared to talk about killing an inner sect disciple of the Tianlong Clan in front of the Tianlong Clan's Black Dragon Elder.
At this moment, only regret was left in his heart. He should not have spoken so arrogantly.
"Master!"
Duan Lingtian's opponent, Sha Zhenghu's disciple, was a young man dressed in a crimson robe. He had a cold expression on his face, and his expression changed drastically at this moment.
Of course, he did not dare to vent the anger in his heart on the Black Dragon Elder, Blue Feather Mountain, who had attacked him.
After he coldly glanced at Ding Yan, his gaze landed on Duan Lingtian again. A cold light flashed in his eyes. "Duan Lingtian, it seems like your friend is very confident in you.
I'd like to see how you're going to defeat me. "
