Yao Ji knew that the heart given to them by the Heavenly Lord was a type of demon heart, capable of increasing one's blood flow, increasing one's cultivation speed, and allowing one's strength to far surpass warriors of the same realm.
However, there was also a disadvantage – one had to be bloodthirsty. If one didn't do it every day, it would be very difficult to maintain the power of the demon heart.
Luo Lie was an exceptional genius. With strength half a step into the Profound Immortal Realm, he was practically invincible among those below the Profound Immortal Realm. Coupled with the demon heart, his strength was even stronger.
"Ye Mo?"
Luo Lie's face was filled with doubt. Who was this Ye Mo to have attracted the attention of the Demon Lord?
"That's right. Don't mention this to anyone, including the Heavenly Lord. Do you understand?"
Yao Ji said calmly.
"Yes!"
Luo Lie lowered his head and answered, not daring to ask any more questions.
The Immortal River Rankings competition was getting closer and closer. The Earth Class students of all the academies in the Ninth Heaven started to get excited, especially the top 10 students of the Earth Class. This was the first time in the Immortal World that the Earth Class students of 36 academies would compete together. In terms of scale, it was definitely not inferior to the Great War of the Immortal World.
All the students who believed that they had the strength to compete for the Immortal River Rankings started to prepare. Regardless of their strength, they didn't dare to be careless. This was the first Immortal River Rankings competition in the Immortal World. The elders and deans of all academies would pay attention to it, and some might even watch it personally. This was a rare opportunity.
It was impossible for the Elders and Deans to observe the competitions of the Earth Grade students, unless there was a student with great talent in the competition. Only then would they go and watch.
However, the competition this time was different. This was the first Immortal River List Competition, and its scale and fame would be the greatest in history. Moreover, some big shots from various sects had been invited to watch it, so it was definitely a rare competition in the Nine Heavens.
This competition wasn't just about the rankings. It was also about the huge rewards. Of course, it was also about fame – fame that would resound throughout the Ninth Heaven.
This was a treatment that the Heaven Class and even the God Class students had never received.
Holy Heaven Academy in the Ninth Heaven!
There was an extremely high peak of clouds that was hidden in a faint purple immortal aura. There were countless palaces on the peak of the clouds, and the most magnificent among them was the residence of the dean of the Nine Heavens Divine Academy. Currently, there were 10 students standing in the main hall.
"The Immortal River List Competition is very important to our Ninth Heaven's Holy Heaven Academy and the other academies. I can tell you very directly that if you can get into the top 10 of the Immortal River List, your future will be limitless. Moreover, our academies will also benefit from it."
In the center of the hall, in front of the ten students, stood an old man with white hair and a white beard.
"However, it won't be easy to enter the top ten of the Immortal River List. Ye Qing, I will set a goal for you. Enter the top ten of the Immortal River List."
The young man standing on the rightmost side of the principal of the Holy Heaven Academy had a determined look on his face. Dressed in a grayish-brown long robe, he bore a slight resemblance to Ye Mo. This was Ye Mo's father, Ye Qing.
"Don't worry, Lord Principal. Although there are no less than 10 half-step into the Immortal Profound Realm among the 36 academies, I will definitely fight for the best ranking. My goal is to enter the top three."
"That's for the best. As for the other nine of you, if there are no accidents, do your best to support Ye Qing and help him obtain first place in the regional competition. Understood?"
The other nine students nodded and said, "Principal, is it possible that only warriors half-step into the Immortal Profound Realm will be able to obtain a ranking this time?"
"The real competition will be between the 40 students who advance from the four regions," the principal of the Holy Heaven Academy said. "They will fight in the ring. Fighters in the Ninth Heaven Immortal Class won't stand a chance."
The principal of the Holy Heaven Academy said.
This was a sea of fire. The center of the sea of fire was actually hollowed out. The ground was a zone of magma, and the fiery-red palaces looked as if they had been watered by magma.
In the main hall stood 11 people. Ten of them were the top 10 students of the Eighth Heaven Deathfire Academy Earth Class Ranking, while the other was the principal of the Deathfire Academy.
The principal was wearing a red robe and his hair was burning like flames. He sat on a stone chair that was watered by magma.
"Rock Spirit, what do you think of the Immortal River Ranking Competition?"
The principal of the Deathfire Academy asked.
The youth called Rock Spirit said slowly, "Apart from Luo Lie of the Ninth Heaven Xuanchen Academy, I don't care about anyone else. But if it's a one-on-one fight, I won't necessarily lose to Luo Lie."
"Very good. Although I don't know much about you, if you can win first place in the Immortal River Ranking and win the honor of first place for the Deathfire Academy, I will accept you as my last disciple."
The principal of the Deathfire Academy laughed. He hadn't had much contact with the students of the Earth Class Ranking, but he still had a little understanding of Rock Spirit's strength.
"I heard from the elders that you have cultivated our academy's secret technique, Magma Fire Dance, to the Advanced Realm. Now, I will give you a hand and help you cultivate the Magma Fire Dance successfully."
"Thank you, Principal!"
Rock Spirit's face was full of excitement. He knew very well that once he successfully cultivated the Magma Fire Dance, he was confident that even if he had to face Luo Lie, he would be able to defeat him.
In one of the main halls of the Celestial Martial Academy, Dean Duanmu also summoned Ye Mo and the others. Only Zhong Ge remained in seclusion.
"In the Immortal River List Competition, the overall strength of the top ten students in our academy's Earth Grade List is much lower than that of the other academies. Therefore, we must strive to protect ourselves this time."
Dean Duanmu said.
"Self-defense?"
All the students were puzzled.
"Killing is not prohibited in the Immortal River List Competition. Even if you die during the competition, the academy will not pursue the matter."
"What?"
A few of the students on the Earth Grade List were slightly surprised and said, "We are all elites of the academy, and it's not forbidden to kill?"
"Elite? You might be considered elites in the Immortal Martial Academy, but if you put all of you together, you won't be elites anymore. The Immortal River List competition's goal is to select the best of the best. Only a cruel competition can stimulate a martial artist's potential. "
Dean Duanmu said indifferently.
"Dean, I have a question."
Ye Mo suddenly asked.
"Speak!"
Dean Duanmu said.
"What is the purpose of holding the Immortal River List Competition?"
Ye Mo asked.
"Hehe!"
Dean Duanmu laughed and said, "Originally, this matter would only be announced at the final arena competition. But since you want to know, I don't mind telling you. The Immortal River List Competition is for the future development of the Immortal World. In the past, the 36 academies have been on equal footing, which has led to a lack of competition between the academies. The Immortal River List Competition is held to increase the competition between the academies."
