The time of the Hidden Dragon Rank competition was getting closer and closer, and the South Rudra Region was getting more and more chaotic.
Besides the hundreds of different martial institutions, tens of thousands of lone warriors had rushed to the Hidden Dragon Ancient City. The lowest cultivation among them was at the Clasping Yuan Realm, and none of them were below the Clasping Yuan Realm. As for the reason, it was very simple. Only the ranked martial institutions could bring some of their disciples who were below the Clasping Yuan Realm to watch the competition. As for the outsiders, they would have to be at least at the Clasping Yuan Realm. Plus, there was a limit on the number of people who could go beyond the Hidden Dragon Ancient City's capacity. Unless one was an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, he or she would not be able to enter.
Under this rule, the lone warriors who were at the Clasping Yuan Realm would have to leave a few months before the competition. If they could not watch the competition, they would regret it for three years. Plus, this year's Hidden Dragon Rank competition was the most popular one, which would only happen once in a thousand years. They would regret it for ten lifetimes.
When the whole South Rudra Region was heated up, some of the powerful martial institutions were also making their own preparations. This year's Hidden Dragon Rank competition would be the most popular one in the past one thousand years. There would be countless martial geniuses. Plus, under the Hidden Dragon Ancient City was the earth qi dragon fountain. It could be said that the ranking would directly affect the luck of the individual and the martial institution. This was not just a bluff, it was actually real. All of the young warriors who had shown their talents in the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions had basically achieved something. The higher the ranking, the more achievements they would have.
The competition was not only about the ranking, but also about the luck.
Sky Flying Devil Martial School …
An extremely tall mountain pierced through the clouds, disappearing into the thick layers of clouds. On top of the mountain, there was a majestic pitch black palace. Outside of the palace, there were two black statues with wings on their backs and a third eye in between their eyebrows, guarding on both sides. Normal people would not dare to look at them directly.
Inside the palace, the leader of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School had his back facing the palace door, looking high up in the air.
"This year's Hidden Dragon Rank competition is not going to be easy. Mo Yan, as the head disciple of our Sky Flying Devil Martial School, you only managed to get the eighth place in the last Hidden Dragon Rank competition. I am very disappointed."
In the middle of the palace, two young men and women stood side by side. The teenager in black on the left bowed and said with respect, "Leader, Mo Yan has disappointed you. This time, I will definitely get into the top three and fight for more luck for the Sky Flying Devil Martial School."
"That's for the best. Let's not talk about you for now. Qingcheng, you were only ranked 27th in the previous batch. Are you still planning to hold back this time around?"
The purple-clothed woman beside the black-clothed young man said, "Sect Master, in the previous tournament, my Great Sky Demon Art had just reached the seventh level, so I didn't have much confidence in making it into the top ten. That's why I didn't give it my all and planned to save it for this tournament."
The woman in purple was Murong Qingcheng.
"Your Sky Demon Great Art has reached the tenth level in such a short time, surpassing Mo Yan. It seems like you have had some other adventures out there. Alright, this year's top ten Hidden Dragon Rank, our Sky Demon Martial School will definitely take two places and become the number one rank 6 martial institution in the whole South Rudra Region."
…
This was a scorching volcanic zone. In the center of the volcanic zone, there were many red palaces surrounding it. And in the largest volcano, as far as the eye could see, it was all golden magma. On the magma, there was a large piece of land that had a radius of several dozen li, and on it sat a pure gold palace.
There were only two people standing in the hall.
"Chi Huo, you were the number two in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. What do you think this time?" A middle-aged man wearing a pure gold long robe sat on a huge chair. The chair was neither made of wood nor metal, but something similar to rocks. It was extremely hard, and it looked very powerful.
The young man said, "I, the Fire Spirit Prince, will not lose again."
"Very good! The number one of the Hidden Dragon Rank is the most powerful one, and you will get the most luck. If you can get the number one, then you will definitely be worthy of the title of Fire Spirit Prince." The middle-aged man laughed. The whole palace seemed to be shaking, and the magma outside was boiling.
…
"Daoxuan, your Heartless Spell has reached the tenth level, and your Heartless Sword Intent has reached sixty percent as well. You are indeed a rare martial genius of our Heartless Martial School." On top of the cliff, the middle-aged man in blue stood with his hands behind his back. His clothes were fluttering in the wind, as if he was about to leave.
The young man with a cold expression said, "Leader, you are flattering me."
"However, the real heartless does not mean that you are heartless. Instead, it means that you see everything as nothing. As long as you are heartless, there is no need for you to care about the surface. This is the Heartless Dao. If you can understand this, no one in the Hidden Dragon Rank will be able to compete with you."
"Heartless does not mean that you are heartless. Seeing everything as nothing." The young man seemed to be thinking.
"Hehe, this might be a bit difficult for you. Even I have not figured it out yet. I just want you to walk in this direction. You do not need to be restricted by the word 'heartless'."
"Yes, leader."
Although the young man did not understand the meaning behind it, he had already memorized it.
…
In the Grey Mystery Nation, which was right next to the Black Dragon Empire.
The Grey Mystery Nation had the largest land area among the three nations, but only one-tenth of it was actually populated. The rest of the land was made up of ten thousand mountains.
In the west of the Grey Mystery Nation, the sky was filled with colorful clouds.
Visible to the naked eye, an extremely thick beam of light shot down from the sky and landed on the vast martial institution. This martial institution was one of the two rank 6 martial institutions in the Grey Mystery Nation, the Sunset Martial School.
"Your head disciple was ranked number six in the last Hidden Dragon Rank, but he is already over twenty-four years old, so he cannot join anymore. So, I will leave the top ten competition to you, Qian Yun." The leader of the Sunset Martial School looked worried. This year's Hidden Dragon Rank competition would be the most prosperous one in the past one thousand years, and the luck would be immeasurable. However, the head disciple was already over twenty-four years old, so he could not join anymore. Although the second disciple had improved extremely fast and was already extremely powerful at the age of nineteen, he was still not powerful enough to compete with the top young warriors in the last Hidden Dragon Rank.
The young man who looked very handsome said, "Leader, I can do whatever the head disciple can do. You don't have to worry."
"I don't expect you to get into the top five, but you have to get into the top ten. Everything will fall when it reaches its peak, and the Hidden Dragon Rank competition is the same. The luck in the next Hidden Dragon Rank competition will not be as good as this one."
"Qian Yun knows."
…
The Floating Mountain …
It was both the name of the magical mountain and the name of a rank 6 martial institution.
In the history of this martial institution, there had been two Life and Death Realm warriors, which had once brought the Floating Mountain Martial School up to the rank 5 martial institution. However, there was always a downfall when there were no new Life and Death Realm warriors. Therefore, the Floating Mountain Martial School had dropped from rank 5 to rank 6.
However, no one dared to underestimate the power of the Floating Mountain Martial School, not even the royal families of the three great nations.
In the middle of the endless mountain range, a thousand meters tall mountain was floating in the air, three thousand and three hundred meters above the ground. According to the rumors, this mountain was brought back from some ancient land by the second Life and Death Realm warrior of the Floating Mountain Martial School. It contained the magnetic godly iron, which could repel the gravity of the earth. That was why it could float in the air all year round.
There was only one palace on the mountain, which was the main palace of the Floating Mountain Martial School.
On the plaza outside the main palace …
A muscular middle-aged man and a young man stood side by side, looking down at the vast land below the mountain.
Unfortunately, my potential has been used up, and I cannot reach the Life and Death Realm. But you are different. Your talent and comprehensive ability are even more powerful than mine. You are the most talented one among all of the Cang King's descendants. You will have the chance to take the most difficult step and become the new king of the Floating Mountain Martial School. Right now, it is time to test you. As a descendant of a king, you have to do what only a king can do. Continue to take the first place of the Hidden Dragon Rank, and bring endless luck to our Floating Mountain Martial School. "
The young man emitted an aura as if he was looking down on the whole world. His eyes were like a god's as he said lightly, "The South Rudra Region is only my starting point. The true spirit continent is my stage. Big grandpa, don't worry. The first place of the Hidden Dragon Rank is already under my control. Without any accidents, when I reach the top again, it will be the beginning of me leaving the South Rudra Region and heading to the true spirit continent."
The middle-aged man laughed. In his mind, Sheng 'er was indeed talented and had the demeanor of a king. What he lacked was an equally powerful opponent. Only an equally powerful opponent would be able to stimulate his potential and reach the level of Xuanhou. After all, if a lion stayed in a group of sheep for too long, its claws and teeth would slowly become blunt. But, if a lion stayed in a group of lions, it would only become more powerful, unless it lost its pride as a lion.
…
The Ice Crystal Empire, an empire of ice and snow.
In this huge empire, there were also two rank 6 martial institutions, the Sky Falling Martial School and the Ice Extreme Martial School.
The main palace of the Sky Falling Martial School was built on a meteor that was dozens of miles wide. It was dark with a hint of red, and its whole body was shining with a metallic luster. There was not a single bit of rock on the outside.
Inside the Sky Falling Palace …
The leader and the few core masters were all smiling.
"God wants our Sky Falling Martial School. Yun 'er has trained his Sky Falling Great Art to its eleventh level at the most critical moment."
"Indeed! The Sky Falling Great Art is a top rank Earth Realm martial art. The power of its eleventh level would be absolutely horrifying."
"This time, not to mention the top three, he could even fight for the first place and beat Sikong Sheng from the Floating Mountain Martial School."
"Sikong Sheng has inherited the bloodline of the Cang King, which means that he has a huge potential. However, in front of absolute power, even the king's bloodline would have to be defeated. Haha, this is great!"
The teenager with the unrestrained temperament laughed, "Leader, masters, you have to keep this a secret. I want to take the first place unexpectedly in the Hidden Dragon Rank competition, and show the power of our Sky Falling Martial School."
"Of course. All of us here are core masters of our Sky Falling Martial School. We will definitely keep this a secret for you. You should not let your guard down. Take this opportunity to get familiar with the eleventh level of the Sky Falling Great Art, and try to use its power to its limit. Also, if you can get the first place this time, the position of the leader of the Sky Falling Martial School will be yours for sure." The leader of the Sky Falling Martial School said.
"Alright, the first place of the Hidden Dragon Rank is mine for sure."
The teenager was full of spirit and ambition.
…
The Ice Extreme Martial School was located in the middle of thousands of miles of ice mountains. There were white mountains, white water, and white sky everywhere.
Inside the magnificent ice mountains, there was a palace that was built completely out of ice.
"Bing Ling, although our Ice Extreme Martial School does not like to fight, but the competition of the Hidden Dragon Rank is not only about the ranking. It is also a place to fight for luck. No matter if it is personal luck or the luck of our martial school, we have to fight for it. This time, I want you to get into the top three of the Hidden Dragon Rank." The middle-aged lady said coldly.
In the middle of the palace, the cold-looking lady in white nodded and said, "Leader, don't worry. I, Bing Ling, will either not fight for it, or I will fight for the first place, and win the endless luck for our martial school."
"Good! Then, I will not worry anymore!"
