In the central square of the Hidden Dragon Fortress!
The rules of the final round of the Hidden Dragon Ranking were actually exactly the same as the second round of the semi-finals.
The only difference was that there would be 100 contestants in the final round, and the final ranking would be determined based on the number of winning points, as well as the amount of Hidden Dragon Luck obtained.
At the same time, in order to allow every contestant who received the blessing of the Hidden Dragon Luck to perform to their heart's content, and also to let the spectators around the stands see the wonderful performance of every contestant, the original 100 arenas in the central square were all removed and replaced with a larger arena.
Looking up at the ranking board that was covered by purple clouds above the square, Yu Haoran's eyes revealed a trace of anticipation.
Before the final round officially began, the ranking board would be re-ranked based on the contestants' performance in the semi-finals and the results of the first round of the three tests.
This ranking would affect the contestants' opponents and order in the following rounds.
For example, if you were ranked first on the ranking board, then your opponent in the first round would be the contestant ranked 100th, and your opponent in the second round would be the contestant ranked 99th, and so on.
Therefore, the higher your ranking on the ranking board, the more points you would obtain in the early stages of the competition, the more Hidden Dragon Luck you would get, and the more strength and trump cards you would have in order to deal with stronger opponents in the later stages of the competition.
Although Yu Haoran had always been calm about the ranking board, it was related to whether he could successfully reach the top in the end. While he was looking forward to it, he was also a bit nervous.
As the purple clouds that covered the ranking board gradually dispersed, the 100 contestants who had advanced to the final round and the countless audience in the stands immediately became nervous.
Everyone stared at the ranking board that was about to reveal its true colors.
When the last trace of purple clouds disappeared, 100 bowl-sized names appeared clearly on the ranking board.
"Eh!"
Just as the ranking board was revealing the final ranking, Meng Zhengkai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
According to Yu Haoran's outstanding performance in the semi-finals and his ranking of 8th in the three tests of the preliminary round, his ranking should have improved this time.
However, after looking through the top 10 rankings, he didn't find Yu Haoran's name.
"Forty-ninth!" Emperor Qin said with a gloomy face.
Emperor Qin, whose cultivation and state of mind were stronger, suppressed the doubts in his heart when he didn't find anything in the top ten rankings. He immediately continued to look down the rankings and finally found that Yu Haoran was ranked forty-ninth.
In the first match of the semi-finals, he had used only one move of the Basic Staff Technique to intimidate all his opponents, and none of them dared to challenge him.
In the second match of the semi-finals, he easily defeated nine powerful opponents with his powerful body and staff technique.
With such a stunning performance, it would be unreasonable if his ranking didn't rise by a few places, let alone drop to 49th place. How could this not make Emperor Qin's heart not surge with anger?
Seeing that not only did his ranking not rise, but it had also fallen to the 49th place, even Yu Haoran, who had always maintained a calm attitude towards the rankings, felt endless anger surging in his heart.
According to Thaling's introduction of the Hidden Dragon Castle and the Hidden Dragon Ranking, although the rankings were arranged by the Hidden Dragon Luck according to the performance of the contestants in the preliminary and semi-finals, the final rankings could be controlled by people.
The reason why he had fallen from eighth place to 49th place in the preliminary round must be because of the seven peerless Martial Venerables in the loft of the Hidden Dragon Castle.
Qin Lingfei, who had also discovered that Yu Haoran's ranking had dropped, asked with a worried expression, "Prince Consort, are you alright?"
At the same time, Yu Siqi, The Sword Without Trace, Wu Zhengjun, and Kang Jung-ah, who had been ignoring him, were all looking at him with worried expressions.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Yu Haoran explained with a smile.
"The rankings on the Hidden Dragon Luck are just fleeting clouds. The real deciding factor is the final match."
Looking at the Hidden Dragon Ranking again, Yu Haoran still had a smile on his face. However, when he glanced at the names from first to 48th place, his eyes revealed a trace of coldness.
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze from the Hidden Dragon Ranking, seven different colored energies of black, white, green, green, red, blue, and purple suddenly shot out from the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
The seven different colored energies gradually condensed into seven different colored dragon chairs in the air.
Immediately after, six old men in black, white, green, red, and blue robes appeared in front of the dragon chairs that were the same color as their robes.
"Welcome, Amethyst Elder!" The six old men who appeared in front of the dragon chairs did not sit down immediately. Instead, they knelt on one knee in the air and shouted respectfully.
Following the greetings of the six old men, a middle-aged man in a purple robe slowly appeared in front of the purple dragon chair.
Then, a terrifying aura that even the peerless Martial Venerables at the top of the spectator stands could not withstand slowly rose from the middle-aged man in purple robes.
If they did not want to be pressured by the terrifying aura, the surrounding experts in the spectator stands had to stand up and welcome him.
If they did not want to be pressured by the terrifying aura, the one hundred contestants in the central plaza had to kneel on one knee and welcome him.
It was not a shameful thing to stand up and welcome the arrival of the Amethyst Elder. Therefore, even the peerless Martial Venerables from the Central Region immediately stood up obediently.
However, to the one hundred contestants in the central plaza, the oppressive aura of the middle-aged man in purple robes and the fact that they had to kneel on one knee to welcome him had aroused the arrogance in their hearts.
Not only did everyone immediately use all their strength to resist the terrifying aura, they also raised their heads and glared angrily at the middle-aged man in purple robes.
Seeing that none of the one hundred contestants in the central plaza had knelt on one knee to welcome him, the middle-aged man in purple robes had a faint smile on his face. However, a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes.
Immediately after, the terrifying aura emitted by the middle-aged man continued to increase and spread to every single contestant.
"Welcome, Amethyst Elder!" As the terrifying aura grew stronger and stronger, some of the weaker contestants were unable to withstand the pressure of the terrifying aura. In the end, they chose to kneel on one knee on the ground and shouted respectfully like the six old men.
When he saw that among the first group of people who had knelt on one knee, there were three elite disciples from the Imperial Family, Emperor Qin's face instantly darkened.
Of course, Meng Zhengkai's face was also quite ugly.
