There were actually only a few rules for the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, but our unserious elder explained so many of them. Of course, this wasn't important; the important thing was that the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings were about to begin.
The Dragon and Phoenix Rankings were divided into two parts. The first was through battles between disciples. Once a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect won seven out of ten battles, they would be qualified to advance to the finals.
The finals would determine the approximate rankings.
The second part was challenges. If a disciple wasn't satisfied with their ranking, they could challenge someone with a higher ranking. The challenged disciple couldn't refuse a challenge from a disciple of the same sect, but they could admit defeat.
Wang Lin looked at the rules and asked, "How many battles do I have to fight to enter the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings?"
"I'm not sure. If your strength is weak and your ranking on the Dragon and Phoenix Leaderboard is high, many people will challenge you. They want to use you to climb up. If you are in the last ten places, you can be challenged by inner disciples. So, you know." Fu Yang understood the rules of the Dragon and Phoenix Leaderboard very well.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. "It's so abnormal. If I'm really weak and lucky enough to enter the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, it would be really miserable."
"Disciples who want to fight for the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings can come to the Destiny Platform and draw lots. This is a very fair method." When the third elder said this, he didn't believe it himself. Drawing lots was completely based on luck, and he couldn't see any fairness in it.
Tang Ao and Fuyang naturally went to the Destiny Platform to draw lots. After working for a long time, every inner disciple of the Seven Kills Sect had a bamboo lot in their hand.
The Dragon and Phoenix Rankings would not be fought on the Destiny Platform, because there were at least a few hundred disciples participating. If all the 1v1 battles were fought on the Destiny Platform, who knew how long it would take.
When everyone arrived at the real arena, the 10 arenas had already been built.
"There are two familiar numbers on your bamboo lots. One is the number of your arena, and the other is your order of appearance. Now, the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings will officially begin." After the third elder finished speaking, he flew into the air. Today was really uncomfortable for him. He hated speaking in situations like this the most. Once he spoke, he thought of a brat from many years ago.
"Arena one, three." Fuyang looked at the bamboo stick in his hand. After looking at it clearly, he greeted Tang Ao and the others before heading to his arena.
"I'm in the ninth arena, the fifth to fight." Tang Ao looked at the bamboo stick in his hand. Why did he feel that the numbers on the bamboo stick were a little awkward? Nine and five, why do these two numbers feel so familiar?
Although he was a little confused, Tang Ao still headed towards the ninth arena.
Tang Ao was the fifth to fight. There were two battles in front of him. Right now, the two Seven Kills Sect disciples on the ninth stage had already released their Life Souls and were about to start a battle.
"Senior apprentice brother Liu Ye, it seems there is nothing left for us to do here!" Only Wang Lin and Liu Ye were left.
"Isn't it obvious?" Liu Ye looked at Wang Lin with disdain.
"Eh, we can't be friends anymore." Wang Lin silently turned around and drew a circle to curse you.
Tang Ao watched from below the arena for a while before the first battle ended.
The second battle also ended quickly. For Tang Ao, these battles were really boring. After all, he was someone who had defeated Xiao Gudao, who was ranked 40th on the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings.
The third battle was about to begin. Tang Ao directly went into the arena. His opponent was a disciple who looked a little older than him. That disciple had a bamboo stick in his hand with the numbers nine and six written on it.
"My name is Si Chen, third layer of the Origin Refinement Realm." Tang Ao's opponent looked at Tang Ao and greeted him.
"My name is Tang Ao, third layer of the Origin Refinement Realm." Tang Ao was stunned at first, then he returned the greeting.
"Begin." The battles of the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings naturally had a referee. The referee was at the eighth layer of the Origin Refinement Realm. He should have been a disciple many years ago and was now an inner sect deacon.
"Brother Tang, I'm going to start." Si Chen looked at Tang Ao and said in a simple and honest manner. Then, six fate souls appeared behind him. The lowest was at the seventh layer, and the highest was estimated by Tang Ao to be at the twelfth layer.
This kind of strength was not bad for a disciple of the Seven Kills Sect, but it was not enough for Tang Ao. However, since Si Chen showed respect, Tang Ao couldn't be rude.
He released his fate souls, the Hundred Battle Spear Soul, the Indestructible Green Lotus Soul, the Eight Treasure Goose Plume Sword Soul, the Hegemon Axe Soul, and the Shooting Sun Arrow Soul. The fate souls that Tang Ao had displayed in front of the world were released. This was probably a form of respect that Tang Ao had for his opponent. After all, Tang Ao had only used four fate souls to deal with Xiao Gudao.
The Saber Life Spirit on Si Chen's back landed in his hand. It was obvious that he had also cultivated a Saber Martial Skill. With the Saber Life Spirit in his hand, Si Chen used his footwork to attack Tang Ao.
Tang Ao felt the aura of Si Chen's saber fate soul and raised his eyebrows. The Eight Treasure Goose Plume Sword Soul landed in his hand. Coincidentally, the saber technique that Si Chen cultivated was also the Silver Frost Tyrant Saber.
The two of them fought using the Silver Frost Tyrant Saber's moves. They exchanged blows and the fate souls in their hands constantly collided.
"Be careful," Si Chen suddenly warned.
Tang Ao felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He activated the Mystic Centipede Kick and his entire body disappeared. He landed a few feet away and looked at the tree vine that was sweeping up the strong wind.
That was one of Si Chen's fate souls. It belonged to the Nature element. When Tang Ao and Si Chen were fighting, Si Chen had secretly set up such a move. Then, when the two of them were fighting, the tree vine fate soul was immediately activated.
Tang Ao looked at the tree vine fate soul and thought to himself that he had been careless. When they were fighting, he had indeed underestimated Si Chen. He had thought that it would be enough to use a portion of his strength to win the match. In the end, he had nearly failed miserably.
"I can't underestimate my opponent," Tang Ao warned himself. His gaze on Si Chen suddenly became sharp.
Sensing Tang Ao's gaze, Si Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He seemed to have provoked a formidable enemy. However, the competition for the Dragon and Phoenix rankings hadn't ended. He hadn't lost yet, so he naturally wouldn't give up easily.
Tang Ao circulated the Mystic Centipede Kick and instantly approached Si Chen. He slashed out again and again. Si Chen held his Life Soul and constantly counterattacked. At the same time, his tree vine fate soul was constantly attacking from the side, searching for Tang Ao's weakness before striking out at lightning speed.
"It's here." Si Chen's tree vine fate soul seemed to have found Tang Ao's weakness. Then, it erupted with astonishing speed and stabbed at Tang Ao.
"Perfect timing." A glint flashed in Tang Ao's eyes as his speed increased. Instantly, he disappeared from Si Chen's line of sight.
Si Chen felt that Tang Ao's every strike was faster. He was completely unable to counterattack.
"You have lost." When Tang Ao stopped his actions, Si Chen had already reached the edge of the arena. As for his tree vine fate soul, it had been suppressed by the three Indestructible Sword Bodies of Tang Ao's Indestructible Green Lotus Soul.
