"Kill our way out!"
Hearing Little Bird's voice, Chen Hao suddenly understood what was going on. He frowned slightly for a moment, but he did not listen to Little Bird's suggestion. Instead, he said coldly to Tantai Lian and the others.
The weak Tantai Lian looked at Chen Hao in surprise. Obviously, she had also heard the news from Phoenix. However, Chen Hao was obviously very good at breaking formations. Why didn't he do that?
Without waiting for Tantai Lian to ask, Chen Hao took the lead and flew into the air. Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, and Ni Jianping also took a deep breath and followed. Seeing this, Tantai Lian had no choice but to muster up her remaining mental strength and follow him. She really did not understand how Chen Hao, who had also gone through a big battle, could still be so lively …
In the face of countless flying monstrous beasts, Chen Hao and the others approached the core of the ancient ruins while crazily killing monstrous beasts. Most of these monstrous beasts had the strength of a rank six to rank seven Martial Grandmaster. Occasionally, a rank eight or even a rank nine Martial Grandmaster would appear. Chen Hao was able to meet the strong ones immediately. When the four of them were in real danger, he was able to save them in time. However, under normal circumstances, even if they were seriously injured, Chen Hao would not care …
The cruel training had finally officially begun for Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, and the others.
… …
Six months passed in a flash.
Originally, they thought that Tai Zigang, who had escaped, would rope in the disciples of the sect and cause trouble. However, for six months, they did not meet him again. Other than entering the ancient ruins to cultivate, the five of them were crazily killing monstrous beasts. Everyone's strength had increased tremendously.
Yang Fan and Li Yifeng both caught up to Ni Jianping. The three of them had all increased their cultivation to rank six Martial Ancestor Realm. Especially Yang Fan, who had finally comprehended the true essence of the wind attribute in the cruel battle. His sword was extremely terrifying.
As for Tantai Lian, in this unimaginably cruel training and battle, in addition to the inheritance of the Phoenix, she had risen from the sixth grade of Yi Zong to the eighth grade of Yi Zong. Her battle prowess was far above Yang Fan and the other two. Even against the top experts on the Imperial Rankings, he could stand up to them.
But compared to Chen Hao …
The four of them had the urge to find a piece of tofu and kill themselves.
Ninth Grade Grandmaster!
Yes, he was a ninth-grade Grandmaster.
Even Chen Hao didn't expect the five of them to improve at such a speed. He especially didn't expect himself to be so fast. This was related to the fact that he had broken the Forbidden Formation and completely obtained the inheritance of the ruins. Coupled with the crazy hunting of Demonic Beasts and battles, the speed at which Tantai Lian and the others improved far surpassed that of the other disciples. However, the main reason why Chen Hao could advance so quickly was because of the energy in his body …
It had completely turned into a liquid state!
What did this mean?
It meant that for the same size of Dantian, after storing liquid energy, the energy would be hundreds or thousands of times more powerful. He didn't have any realm barriers. With sufficient energy, his breakthrough was like a hot knife through butter. It took him less than six months to advance from the second grade to the ninth grade of Zong. On average, he broke through more than one grade per month …
When the energy in his Dantian was completely refined into a liquid state, he finally broke through to the ninth grade of Zong. Six months of experience had finally come to an end.
Unfortunately, although they had been reminded by the Phoenix, the five of them still didn't find the so-called inheritance of the five divine beasts.
…
Amidst the pillars of light that shot up into the sky, the cultivators scattered all over the relic disappeared one after another.
When Chen Hao and the other four walked out of a huge transmission formation at the same time, except for Chen Hao, the faces of Tantai Lian and the other three were filled with excitement.
Six months had been too cruel for them. No matter what, they had never imagined that training with Chen Hao would allow them to reach such a terrifying level. Of course, they had never imagined that they would be able to improve to such an extent!
At this moment, the relaxed feeling was very fulfilling. They had worked hard and risked their lives. Now, they had obtained the results they deserved.
Chen Hao's expression was calm. His handsome face was even more mature. He didn't deliberately restrain his aura, nor did he deliberately release it. However, at this moment, anyone who saw him for the first time could feel an incomparably powerful aura!
Every move, even a look, seemed to contain the power to topple mountains and overturn seas.
"Ah … we're finally out!"
"Phew …"
"I'm really looking forward to the real Hundred Empire Ranking Competition …"
Figures, alone and in groups, rushed out of the transmission formation one after another. Their expressions were filled with excitement. Obviously, including the experience in the Endless Sea, a full nine months of hard work had brought about astonishing improvements.
However, after everyone walked out of the transmission formation and sighed, they looked at the huge Martial Arts Practice Field outside the transmission formation's exit. Directly above the rostrum of the Martial Arts Practice Field, there was a huge black pagoda monument standing tall!
At this moment, the black pagoda monument was shining with a bright golden light. The names of all the cultivators were constantly flashing on it. Some were rising, some were falling, and some were not moving at all. Obviously, the mysterious black pagoda monument was still doing the final statistics of the combat strength rankings.
At the front of the black pagoda monument, there were hundreds of powerful auras. They were obviously experts from the sects, and they were also staring at the black pagoda monument with bright eyes. Dongfang Ting and Xuan Xuan were also among them.
Thousands of disciples who were on experience immediately rushed to the Martial Arts Practice Field. They were so excited that even their bodies were trembling. Their eyes were wide open as they looked at the black pagoda monument!
Everyone knew that the ranking on the pagoda monument this time would be the preliminary ranking of their Hundred Empire Ranking. Although it was not completely real, it possessed absolute authority. The disparity would not be too great.
"Ssss, ssss, ssss …"
A majestic and dense aura accompanied the resplendent golden light. When the transfer array gradually disappeared and no more cultivators walked out, the resplendent golden light on the black pagoda tablet finally began to weaken until it completely disappeared ….
One by one, the golden names finally stopped.
"Gao Jianfei!"
"Huala …"
When they saw the name at the top of the black pagoda monument, countless cultivators immediately cried out in alarm. The Wind Cloud Empire's Gao Jianfei was already someone that everyone knew. He was originally ranked second. However, at this moment, he was ranked first. Meng Yi, who was originally ranked first, was now ranked second.
What shocked all the cultivators, including the sects' experts, were the two people ranked third and tenth.
Leng Yihan and Chen Hao!
When Leng Yihan and Chen Hao started their training, they were both rank eight Martial Emperors. However, at this moment, one was ranked third, and the other was ranked tenth. After all, he had defeated two rank six Martial Ancestor Realm participants ranked third in the Sky Tyrant Empire. However, although the rank eight Martial Emperor Chen Hao was ranked first in the Xuanwu Empire, the person ranked below him was only a rank two Martial Ancestor Realm. Yet now, Chen Hao had risen to tenth, and obtained the qualifications to become a seeded participant!
This was simply unimaginable!
Dongfang Ting rubbed her eyes. She thought that she was seeing things. However, Chen Hao's name was indeed ranked tenth!
Xuan Xuan also opened her little mouth in shock. She did not dare to believe her eyes.
Following that, cries of alarm began to sound from the entire martial practice ground. They were either cries of joy after seeing their own rankings or sighs of disappointment after seeing their own rankings. Or they were shocked by the rankings of someone they knew.
When Tantai Lian and the others saw that Chen Hao was ranked tenth, other than being pleasantly surprised, they did not seem to be surprised in the slightest. That was the truth. At this moment, no one knew better than the four of them how abnormal Chen Hao was …
When Chen Hao was a rank two Martial Ancestor Realm, he was able to kill rank seven Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators like killing chickens. Now that he was a rank nine Martial Ancestor Realm cultivator, who could possibly defeat him? To the four of them, being ranked tenth did not match Chen Hao's true battle strength at all.
"Thirtieth … Chen Hao, I'm ranked thirty!" After Tantai Lian saw her own ranking, she immediately spoke in a pleasantly surprised manner. In the past, she had been ranked last … Even now, when she recalled the situation back then, she felt embarrassed. Fortunately, Chen Hao had reminded her in time. As for now, she was able to increase her ranking to such a level. Tantai Lian knew very well that it was all thanks to Chen Hao.
"I'm ranked one hundred and twenty-three!" Yang Fan also said in a slightly excited manner.
"Two hundred and forty-nine!" Ni Jianping said as he clenched his fist.
"Damn … I'm the lowest, only two hundred and eighty-two!" Li Yifeng seemed to be very dissatisfied as he spoke. However, the smile on his face showed that he was very satisfied.
"Not bad. I believe that your true battle strength should be higher …" Chen Hao said with a slight smile.
"Chen Hao, thank you!" Yang Fan said as he stared at Chen Hao.
"Thank you! Without you, we wouldn't have our current results! "
"No need to thank me. We're brothers, don't treat me as an outsider. Haha …" Li Yifeng, who was more carefree than Yang Fan and Ni Jianping, said bluntly. However, the way he looked at Chen Hao was no different from the way he looked at the other two.
Tantai Lian's face was slightly red, but she did not say anything.
"This is only the preliminary rankings. The real competition has yet to begin. Don't relax now …" Chen Hao said.
"Of course not!"
…
"Chen Hao, not bad … What a strong aura …"
At this moment, a voice entered Chen Hao's ears. The arrogant Leng Yihan appeared in front of Chen Hao out of thin air. His sharp eyes carried an aura of inspection as he looked at Chen Hao with surprise.
Tantai Lian, Yang Fan and the other three were slightly surprised. They did not know that Chen Hao and Leng Yihan knew each other. They thought that he was looking for trouble. The four of them immediately stood beside Chen Hao.
"You're not bad either. Third place, much higher than me … "Chen Hao said with a slight smile as he gently waved his hand at Tantai Lian and the other three.
"You've improved more than me." Leng Yihan said as he looked at Tantai Lian and the other three. His eyes also carried a trace of shock as he said, "It seems that your encounters are quite interesting. If I had known earlier, I would have been with you … I'm only a sixth grade Martial Ancestor now …"
"Grade is just a concept. It doesn't affect you," Chen Hao said.
Hearing Chen Hao's words, Leng Yihan shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that I still need to break through a little. Chen Hao, do you want to bet with me? "
"Bet? What bet? "
"Bet on the rankings! In the final ranking, I'll be higher than you. Promise me one thing. If you're higher than me, I'll promise you one thing! "
