The Spring House was surrounded by bamboo trees and spring water.
"Whoosh …"
Su Yun lightly landed on the ground. The path between the bamboo forest led directly to the Spring House.
"This is the place. Ye Ru Xue, don't disappoint me. "Su Yun said to himself.
With an indescribable look of greed in his eyes, Su Yun slowly walked towards the Spring Overlook Inn.
"Tap … tap … tap …" In the quiet environment, the sound of footsteps was ear-piercing.
"Su Yun!" A voice exploded like thunder.
Su Yun stopped in front of the Spring House.
"Ye Ru Xue." Su Yun looked at the young man in dark red clothes in front of him. He seemed to have lost some of his sharpness.
"You're finally here." Ye Ru Xue's eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
Su Yun could feel his state of mind. Although this guy was a bit conceited, he was an opponent worthy of respect.
"Where's the letter of challenge?" Su Yun asked.
Ye Ru Xue smiled and the spiritual energy in his right hand surged. Holding the letter between two fingers, he suddenly threw it at Su Yun.
"Whoosh …" A clear sound broke through the air and the letter formed a ripple in the air.
Su Yun narrowed his eyes and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique instantly operated. Similarly, spiritual energy circulated in his right hand.
"Boom …" A slight explosion sounded. Su Yun's two fingers firmly clamped the letter of challenge. The spiritual energy on the letter burst out and spread in all directions.
Su Yun didn't move and let the spiritual energy erupt.
The spiritual energy was useless and was instantly annihilated.
Just when Su Yun thought that it was over, a hidden force once again burst out from the letter of challenge. Although Su Yun was shocked, his expression did not change. He allowed the hidden force to rush into his body, and the rolling three layers of force directly drowned it out.
In a short time, the two had already exchanged two moves.
Ye Ru Xue could use the letter of challenge as a medium to attack. It could be seen that in this period of time, his progress was not small.
No wonder he dared to issue a challenge!
Su Yun didn't think that he hadn't heard of his battle record. Since he dared to challenge him, he obviously had some confidence.
When Ye Ru Xue saw how easily Su Yun dispelled his attack, he became even more serious.
"I won't accept this challenge." Su Yun smiled and said naturally. He didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed of his rejection.
Hearing this, Ye Ruxue was slightly taken aback. He never thought that Su Yun would reject him so decisively.
"You're afraid of failure?" mocked Ye Ruxue.
"I've never thought that I would fail," Su Yun said, seeing that he was trying to provoke him.
"Can you tell me the reason for your refusal?" Ye Ruxue asked helplessly when she saw his natural expression. Obviously, he did not buy it.
"The reason …" Su Yun said hesitantly. This kind of thing was really not good to say directly in front of such an opponent.
Ye Ruxue saw his strange expression and waited for him to continue.
"Do you know about the battle between me and Luo Quan?" Su Yun asked patiently.
"It was that battle that made you the 58th on the Ling Ue List." Ye Ruxue said disdainfully, "You took advantage of a loophole."
Su Yun broke out in a sweat. This guy really doesn't know how to get to the point.
"I usually don't accept ordinary challenges." Su Yun said patiently.
"Oh? You mean that I have to be on the Ling Ue List first? "Ye Ruxue asked.
What the hell! Su Yun was speechless.
"Apart from that, there's another kind of challenge that I accept." Su Yun said with a look of disdain on his face.
"Hmm? What kind? "Ye Ruxue didn't understand.
"A challenge with a bet." Su Yun said straightforwardly.
Ye Ruxue seemed to have understood something.
"Okay! Then let's bet! "Ye Ruxue said straightforwardly.
Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief, this guy was finally on the right track.
"Tell me, what do you want to bet?" Ye Ruxue asked.
With such a blatant question, Su Yun could only feel embarrassed in his heart.
However, he still had to eat the fat meat in his mouth.
"Contribution points are allowed in the college. Then let's bet on contribution points." Su Yun said.
"Okay, I still have 100,000 contribution points left. Let's bet 100,000," Ye Ruxue said.
100,000? Su Yun was surprised.
Why is there so little? Where did the 800,000 contribution points from the New Student Competition go?
Ye Ruxue also noticed that Su Yun's expression was not normal.
"After a month of seclusion on the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower and a trip to the Trading Hall, this is all I have left." Ye Ruxue explained. It's so difficult to even write a challenge!
"Alright then, a hundred thousand it is." Su Yun said reluctantly, then tore open the letter of challenge.
"Su Yun." There were only two words on the challenge. Below was Ye Ruxue's signature.
Su Yun was speechless. It was really concise. He even used the words "Challenge" on the cover.
"Three days later, the Martial Arts Practice Field." Su Yun turned around and left with a heavy heart.
Only 100,000 contribution points, far less than Su Yun expected.
"It's better than nothing." Su Yun could only comfort himself like this.
After leaving the Waterside Residence, Su Yun sped up. Three days could be considered as a buffer.
The two had only met for a short time, but Su Yun could still feel Ye Ruxue's spiritual energy. He should be at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm. It was obvious that he had just broken through.
Originally, Su Yun wanted to find Night As Fire and the others to meet up, but he didn't expect them to be here. Now, he could only return to the Celestial Pavilion to consolidate his cultivation.
"I heard that Su Yun has already accepted Ye Ruxue's challenge." In the freshman area, a group of freshmen stood together and chatted.
"Yes, the news should be correct. Someone saw Su Yun go to the Waterside Residence with their own eyes. He shouldn't have any reason to refuse. "
"Another good show. The Freshman Competition's top battle has continued until now. It should be even more exciting."
"Yes, it's said that Ye Ruxue has already broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm. I wonder if it's true."
"It's definitely true. That day, I saw Ye Ruxue walk out of the Cultivation Tower with my own eyes. His eyes were slightly red and gave off a crazy feeling. The spiritual energy around his body was unstable. If it wasn't for his recent breakthrough, I really can't think of any reason why he would be like this. Moreover, his aura is even more dangerous than before. "
"I just don't know what kind of conflict will occur after Su Yun goes to the Waterside Residence."
"The battle will take place in the Martial Arts Practice Field. We just have to wait for news from there. We shouldn't miss it."
"Whoosh …" With a startled sound, an arrow shot out. Several freshmen were startled and dodged it.
"Who is it? Who dares to launch a sneak attack in Aoran College? "A freshman looked in the direction of the arrow and shouted angrily. However, there was no response. It was as if no one had ever existed.
"Look! There seems to be something on the arrow! "A sharp-eyed freshman pointed at the arrow that was half buried in the tree trunk.
There seemed to be something wrapped around the tip of the arrow.
A freshman carefully walked forward and removed the thing. It was a piece of paper.
"What's written on it?"
The freshman looked at it for a moment and then passed it to the others.
"In three days, Ye Ruxue and Su Yun will fight in the Martial Arts Practice Field. The bet is … 100,000 contribution points!" The freshman who finished reading said with a strange expression.
There was a bet for the battle between the two! How could everyone not be surprised?
"Interesting. Who do you think sent this note?" A freshman asked with a smile.
"Su Yun defeated Wang Chong. There's no need to doubt his strength. He should be extremely confident in himself. This time, he went to the Spring Restaurant alone. He must be the one who proposed the 100,000 contribution points bet. "
"If that's the case, he must have announced the news to the public. The 100,000 contribution points won't run away." A freshman suddenly understood and nodded.
"I don't think it was him who shot the arrow." Another freshman thought for a while and said, "Ye Ruxue challenged Su Yun to a battle. He didn't receive a response from Su Yun until three days after the news spread. As for why Su Yun went to the Spring Restaurant, it's still unknown. In my opinion, Ye Ruxue probably wanted to spread the news of Su Yun's battle. That's why he shot the arrow. "
"Yes, that makes sense. No matter what, there will be a good show in the Martial Arts Practice Field three days later. Everyone must be there. "
"I just accepted a mission. It seems that I have to cancel it." A freshman smiled and took out a jade slip.
"Since someone sent the news, we naturally can't let him down."
Just like that, in less than a day's time, the news of Su Yun and Ye Ru Xue's battle at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds in three days spread out. As long as it was a new student of the Canglan Institute, almost everyone knew about it.
And as one of the main characters, Su Yun, was on his way back to the Celestial Pavilion …
"That's …" Su Yun's flashing figure stopped and looked at a mountain peak in the distance. In that direction, he had felt a faint pressure when he first entered the Aoran College. However, due to time constraints, he didn't go to take a look.
That place emitted a heavy feeling like a mountain. Majestic spiritual energy surrounded it, making people feel as if they were looking up at a tall mountain.
Su Yun directly moved and flashed in that direction.
At the foot of the mountain, Su Yun looked up and saw that the shape of the mountain was strange. It looked like a roc spreading its wings. An inexplicable pressure was emitted from the top of the mountain and shrouded the area.
On the back of the roc, there was a huge stone tablet that was thousands of feet high. On the stone tablet, the condensed spiritual energy was shining dazzlingly. Su Yun's line of sight followed the stone tablet. At the top of the stone tablet, there was a golden light shining and converging into three magnificent words.
Ling Jue List!
"This is the Ling Jue List!" Su Yun muttered to himself.
The passersby couldn't help but stop and look up.
The Soaring Esper Leaderboard represented the high standard of the Canglan Academy. Countless genius students would train hard in order to obtain a spot on the Soaring Esper Leaderboard. Every time the top ten of the Soaring Esper Leaderboard was replaced, it would be a grand occasion for the Canglan Academy.
Su Yun could sense the fanaticism in the eyes of those who were looking up at him. His black pupils also focused on the gigantic stone tablet that was several thousand meters tall. He focused his gaze, only to see a golden light flickering on the stone tablet. Numerous golden names were engraved on the tablet, radiating with glory. They were engraved on the tablet, receiving the respect and reverence of countless Canglan Academy students.
"Number ten on the Ling Jue List, Qin Tao, two years of cultivation in Aoran College."
"Number nine on the Ling Jue List, Chen Yang, two years of cultivation in Aoran College."
"Number eight on the Ling Jue List, Xue Lan, two years of cultivation in Aoran College."
…
"Number six on the Ling Jue List, Tang Hao, two years of cultivation in Aoran College."
"Tang Hao, Tang Xue's elder brother, the current Tang Sect Leader? He's actually number six on the Ling Jue List! "Su Yun muttered to himself.
His gaze moved up again.
"Number five on the Ling Jue List, Blood Lion, two years of cultivation in Aoran College."
"Blood Lion should be the founder of Blood Lion Hall, and the current Hall Master." Su Yun and Luo Quan of Blood Lion Hall were sworn enemies. Luo Quan's position in Blood Lion Hall was not low, so it was only a matter of time before he came into contact with Blood Lion.
"Number four on the Ling Jue List, Bi Moxiao …"
"Number three on the Ling Jue List, Qi Haitian …"
"Number two on the Ling Jue List, Leng Yuechan …"
Su Yun felt that his chest was heavy as if something was blocking it.
"Who's number one?"
Su Yun's gaze shifted upwards once again, looking at the highest position. There, a name, emitting a dense oppressive feeling, descended from the sky and covered the earth.
"Number one on the Ling Jue List, Shui Han."
"Shui Han …" Su Yun mumbled. It was just a name, but it was like a huge mountain that reached the sky. The shadow cast by it made one's heart tremble.
Su Yun was only a freshman. He had just started in that place where geniuses gathered, but that person was already standing at the top and looking down on him.
Su Yun stared at that simple and unadorned name, before slowly retracting his gaze. He could feel that the blood in his body was gradually showing signs of boiling.
That was the Aoran College that he had been looking forward to. His previous experiences were just small skirmishes. If he wanted to prove himself, that place was the best training ground!
He believed that under such high pressure, he would be able to better stimulate his growth. One day, he would surpass those geniuses and stand at the top.
One day …
I will rule the world and kill all those who betrayed me!
Su Yun slowly turned around. At that moment, his state of mind was quietly changing.
He headed in another direction. Over there, there was also a wave of unexpected fluctuations.
Freshmen List!
It was a tall and straight mountain. One side of it was flattened. On the stone wall, which was more than a thousand feet high, there was a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy. There were also 16 names that were shining with golden light.
Su Yun's expression was a little strange. That was because the golden name at the top of the Freshmen List was his name!
"Number one on the Freshmen List, Su Yun."
…
Su Yun touched his nose. He felt that something was wrong. After taking a glance, Su Yun turned around and walked in another direction.
There was also a stone tablet here. It stood on top of a mountain that was like a gold ingot. The mountain was beautifully decorated and it looked like it was filled with jewels. The stone tablet was even more magnificent.
"Contribution Ranking." Su Yun felt a little strange. He did not expect Aoran College to set up such a strange ranking.
"Number one on the Contribution Ranking, Qi Haitian. Contribution points: 630,000."
"Number two on the Contribution Ranking, Bi Moxiao. Contribution points: 610,000."
…
Su Yun was not interested in the names on the Contribution Board. Instead, he tilted his head to look at the bottom corner of the Contribution Board, where there were rows of small words that were emitting golden light.
"The Contribution Ranking is based on the number of contribution points earned from completing missions in the Mission Tower. It will be updated on a yearly basis. The number one will automatically receive 1000 contribution points every day. The number two will receive 900 contribution points every day, and so on until the tenth place."
Su Yun looked up again. It seemed that there were 100 names on the Contribution Ranking, but there was no reward for the last 90 names.
"The top 10 of the Contribution Ranking …" Su Yun was a little tempted. After all, as long as one's name was in the top 10, one would receive contribution points every day.
Su Yun only thought about it for a moment before he shook his head in self-mockery.
It was a yearly cycle. In other words, the contribution points behind the names on the Contribution Ranking were the total contribution points earned from completing missions in the past year. It would be refreshed on the first day of every year.
The stronger the student, the higher the reward for completing missions. Furthermore, based on their abilities, they would be more efficient in completing missions.
Therefore, Su Yun would be overestimating himself if he wanted to make it to the Contribution Ranking.
At least, it was not something that he could achieve now.
"Aoran College has really put in a lot of effort …" Su Yun looked at the Contribution Ranking and could not help but be tempted. It was obvious that the others would be greatly motivated.
Especially for the Contribution Ranking, the rewards for being in the top 10 were enough to make anyone jealous.
The glory of being in the Towering Absolutes Ranking also stimulated everyone to train crazily.
Su Yun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly turned to leave.
Although Su Yun was not someone who bit off more than he could chew, he would not be content with the status quo. Currently, he was firmly in the first place of the Freshman Ranking. However, being ranked 58th on the Towering Absolutes Ranking was being doubted by many people. Even Wang Chong, who was ranked 65th, might still be doubtful. As for the Contribution Ranking, Su Yun's current contribution was not enough to be in it.
Su Yun leaped between the mountains. The restlessness that had accumulated in his heart over the past few days slowly settled down. The road of cultivation was still long, and he knew that there would always be someone better than him.
The road ahead was long, and his cultivation was still far away. He would search from top to bottom!
Su Yun's gaze became determined again.
After returning to the Celestial Pavilion, Su Yun practiced the 24 Forms of Taichi. After calming himself down, he went up to the second building and sat down.
"It is difficult for the Black Clouded Crane to advance further. The Ten Direction Extinction seems to have reached a bottleneck. I am still unable to reach the strongest state." Su Yun sorted out his thoughts.
"Then now …" Su Yun flipped his hand, and an ancient book appeared in his hand. It was the so-called orthodox book on formations.
"I have neglected it for so long. Now, the most basic Trapping, Concealing, and Killing Formations can no longer help me." Su Yun picked it up again. Of course, it was more for the Five Spirits Celestial Extinction Formation.
The Trapping, Concealing, and Killing Formations could only cause a limited amount of trouble to a Spirit Cultivator at his current realm. It could be seen from the last time when he dealt with Shaochengtian. If he wanted to make use of the Spiritual Formation, he would need to find the formation diagram himself.
And the Five Spirits Celestial Extinction Formation was a powerful formation diagram!
Su Yun flipped open the formation book. His fingers moved slightly, and a weak wave of Spiritual Energy was emitted. He demonstrated it in his hands.
