It seemed that if the youth hadn't yelled fast enough, he would have lost an arm or a leg.
After admitting defeat, the youth didn't wait for the embroidered robed man to announce the victor and immediately jumped off the stage.
This caused the spectators below the stage to be in an uproar and they couldn't help but start discussing.
"This Junior Bai is so strong. He actually used a single Wind Blade Technique to easily defeat two opponents. I wonder if he still has other tricks up his sleeve!"
"How can his Wind Blade Technique be released so quickly? It gives me the feeling that he doesn't even need to chant an incantation. Its power doesn't seem to be comparable to a normal Wind Blade."
"Idiot, you still can't tell. Junior Bai's Wind Blade Technique has already been trained to the legendary Perfection Realm. He might even have condensed a Technique Seal in his consciousness! "
"Technique Seal? What is that?"
"This … He doesn't even know a Technique Seal. What's there to talk about? Go ask your elders and you'll know."
… …
The uproar at the first stage naturally attracted the attention of the disciples near the other stages. Some of the Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples who didn't pay attention to this side walked over curiously and asked a few questions.
"Eh, this … isn't this Senior Bai! I … I'm not seeing things right? Senior Bai is actually standing on the first stage. Doesn't the banner behind him represent the ninth Core Disciple rank? " Xue Shan, who had curiously walked over with a few other disciples to watch the commotion, casually swept his gaze over the stone stage and immediately became speechless from shock.
Beside him, Wan Xiao Qian and a few other Nine Infant Faction Inner Disciples were also dumbstruck when they clearly saw Liu Ming's appearance on the stage.
Similarly shocked were a few other Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples who knew Liu Ming.
Among them, the most shocked was Mu Yun Xian, the beautiful young woman who had some understanding of Liu Ming.
After this woman defeated a challenger at Du Hai's side, she let out a sigh of relief and went to the other stages to take a look. In the end, she saw Liu Ming on the first stage.
As a result, Mu Yun Xian's face instantly became extremely brilliant and the ecstasy that followed was obvious.
If Liu Ming really had the strength to enter the top ranks of the Lunar Monument, even the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader would have to consider whether or not Gao Chong's Furnace should be changed.
If Liu Ming could enter the top three ranks of the core disciples and return alive from the Life and Death Smelting Trial, then his niece would absolutely be safe and sound. The upper echelons of the Sect would absolutely not allow another disciple who had made a great contribution to the Sect to have a close relationship with them to be harmed by a member of the Sect.
Just as Mu Yunxian was rejoicing, no one else went up to challenge the first stage.
The embroidered robed Spirit Master placed the sand in the upper half of the hourglass. After the last grain of sand fell, he announced the end of the first arena challenge.
The ten banner disciples on the arena had temporarily obtained a temporary ranking. Before the second round of challenges began, no one had the right to challenge them.
Hearing the embroidered robed Spirit Master's announcement, many of the disciples below the stage looked at Liu Ming and the other nine people with admiration.
If it was according to past practice, the ten disciples on the stone stage would probably be able to maintain their top ten rankings after the Large Competition ended.
Even if the other core disciples fell out of the top ten in the second round of the Ranking Competition, they would still have a very high ranking on the Lunar Monument.
After the embroidered robed Spirit Master's announcement, Liu Ming and the others all left the stage.
"Junior Bai, you have greatly increased the face of our Nine Infant Mountain."
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Bai. You are the first disciple from our faction to enter the top ten rankings in the last few Large Competitions. "
"Haha, with this, let's see if the other factions still dare to look down on the Nine Infant Faction!"
… …
As soon as Liu Ming walked off the stage, Xue Shan, Wan Xiao Qian and a few other Nine Infant Mountain Inner Sect Disciples immediately surrounded him and spoke with extreme excitement.
Liu Ming naturally responded with a few words, but at this time, a cold voice came over:
"Junior Bai, you really have hidden your strength. However, don't think that condensing the Wind Blade Technique Seal will allow you to remain in the top ten disciples. According to what I know, among the disciples ranked at the bottom, there are many who are holding back and preparing to use their true abilities in the second round of challenges. If you want to celebrate, wait until the Large Competition is over. "
Gao Chong, accompanied by Shi Jian and his wife, walked over and spoke coldly to Liu Ming from afar. Mu Ming Zhu, who was standing to the side, looked at Han Li with a trace of shock.
It was clear that the matter of Liu Ming entering the top ten had greatly shocked her.
"Junior Gao, whether or not I can remain in the top ten will be known after the second round of challenges ends tomorrow." Liu Ming turned his head to look at Gao Chong and said indifferently.
"Okay, I will wait and see." Gao Chong's expression was incomparably gloomy. After fiercely staring at Liu Ming, he turned around and left with the others.
To the side, Xue Shan and the other Nine Infant Mountain disciples naturally heard the conflicting words between Liu Ming and Gao Chong and could not help but look at each other in dismay.
Following the end of the first arena, the other arenas also gradually came to an end. One by one, the challenges ended.
When the sky was about to turn dark, the last arena was also empty.
At this time, the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader flew out from the jade platform and announced that the first round of the Large Competition had truly ended. Tomorrow, the Ladder Ranking Challenges would begin.
All the disciples dispersed in an uproar.
This so-called Ladder Ranking Challenge was where the 100 disciples were divided into 10 ranks. Each disciple could challenge any one of the 10 disciples in front of them. If they succeeded, they would be able to enter the next rank and challenge a higher rank. If they failed, they would remain at their original rank.
In this way, the last ten and the top ten only needed to challenge or accept the challenge.
Of course, just like Gao Chong said, many disciples did not use their true abilities in the previous challenges. Only after this round would the approximate ranking of the disciples be determined.
Liu Ming naturally did not dare to be negligent and left the stone mountain. After returning to his residence, he planned to properly rest and build up his strength.
However, not long after, an Outer Sect Disciple came to the courtyard to pass on a message, saying that Gui Ru Quan wanted him to go over.
Liu Ming was not too surprised by this. After muttering to himself for a bit, he agreed and walked out of the house. He soared into the sky and flew straight to the mountain top.
After a short while, he appeared in the Discussion Hall at the mountain top.
In there, other than Gui Ru Quan, Zhu Chi, and Martial Aunt Zhong, Shi Chuan was also standing to the side.
Liu Ming hurriedly went forward to greet them.
"Cong Tian, no need to be so courteous. Stand up. You did very well this time to actually be able to enter the top ten Core Disciple rankings. This is really an unexpected surprise for the three of us. "Seeing Liu Ming enter, Gui Ru Quan immediately smiled and said.
Zhu Chi and Martial Aunt Zhong also wore smiles on their faces as they looked at Liu Ming.
"I don't dare, this disciple was only able to do this because of luck." Liu Ming respectfully replied.
"Haha, you can be lucky with other things, but can you be lucky with your Late Spirit Apostle cultivation and Perfect Wind Blade Technique? It is also because your two Martial Uncles and I didn't know that you had this kind of talent in Spell Cultivation. Otherwise, we would have already given you a lot of resources and a few more pointers. I believe that your strength should have increased by another level. "Gui Ru Quan said with some pity.
"This disciple also only found out not long ago that condensing a Technique Seal is an extremely difficult matter. Otherwise, I would have definitely reported it to Master Gui." Liu Ming naturally appeared to be extremely honest.
"You don't have to worry about anything. The three of us don't care if you really have the rumored Heavenly Intelligent Spirit Body or if you have your current cultivation and condensed a Technique Seal because of some other reason. We only want to ask you one thing. How confident are you in remaining in the top ten in tomorrow's competition?" Gui Ru Quan waved his hand and asked with a serious expression.
"This is hard to say. However, if there are no too monstrous existences that appear to challenge this disciple, I should have a seventy to eighty percent chance. "Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he replied.
"Seventy to eighty percent! Hehe, it seems that other than the Wind Blade Technique Seal, you still have other tricks up your sleeves. "When Zhu Chi heard this, he laughed and said.
Gui Ru Quan also revealed an extremely satisfied expression.
"Very good. I will now ask you, are you willing to become my disciple? I plan on accepting you as my Personal Disciple!" Spirit Master Zhong, who had not spoken until now, opened her mouth and said something that shocked Liu Ming.
Although he had faintly expected that this time, there would most likely be benefits for him, he was still very surprised that Spirit Master Zhong would directly accept him as a Personal Disciple.
However, being able to become the Personal Disciple of a Spirit Master was naturally something that he could not wish for.
"Of course I am willing. Cong Tian pays his respects to Master!"
Liu Ming only thought for a moment before bowing to the Spirit Master and respectfully saying this.
"Very good, stand up. Although you only have a Three Spiritual Pulse, since you were able to cultivate to the Late Spirit Apostle level and condense a Technique Seal, you might have a sliver of a chance to become a Spirit Master. You should once again greet your Martial Uncle Gui and Martial Uncle Zhu. "Seeing this situation, Spirit Master Zhong revealed a trace of a smile as she spoke.
"I pay my respects to Martial Uncle Gui and Martial Uncle Zhu!" Liu Ming immediately respectfully bowed to Gui Ru Quan and Zhu Chi.
"Martial Nephew Bai, from now on, you are a Personal Disciple of our Nine Infant Faction. Quickly stand up." Gui Ru Quan slightly bowed.
Zhu Chi also waved his hand to allow him to stand up.
"Since Cong Tian has once again paid his respects to the two of you and changed the way he addressed you, it shouldn't be for nothing, right?" Spirit Master Zhong suddenly laughed lightly as she spoke to the other two.
"Hehe, Junior, don't worry. Since Cong Tian has already been accepted as your disciple, a greeting gift will naturally not be lacking. I have three Scarlet Flame Beads here, I will give them to Martial Nephew Bai. When you meet a strong enemy, activate them and throw them out. Maybe they will save your little life. "Zhu Chi laughed as he took out a small and exquisite metal box from his sleeve and threw it to Liu Ming.
"I am not as generous as Junior. I only have a bottle of Blood Marrow Pills that can refine blood essence." Gui Ru Quan smiled as he also took out a small bottle that was as white as jade and also gave it to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming was naturally overjoyed as he repeatedly thanked Gui Ru Quan. He carefully put away the two items and did not rush to open them.
