With the Sun high in the sky, the Tai Ah Divine City, which had been covered in snow for days, finally had a hint of warmth. < <. < <.
It was the ninth day of the rookie ranking competition. It was noon!
There was a short lunch break at noon. However, the audience in the arena did not leave at all. To warriors, as long as they had enough Yuan Qi stored in their bodies, not eating for a few days was nothing.
And most importantly, there were two heavyweight matches in the afternoon.
One was Qiuniu challenging the 2800th ranked cultivator on the Earth roll.
The other match was even more exaggerated. It was Chu Xiaoran challenging the 2600th ranked cultivator on the Earth roll!
The two of them had just entered the top 3000. To be able to reach this rank, many of them had been in the Tai Ah Divine City for four years!
These people were basically peak-Purple Blood warriors, and they were outstanding amongst warriors in the same realm!
Every step forward from the top 3000 was not easy. The competition they faced became more and more intense!
People obviously wanted to watch such battles.
Compared to Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran, the other rookies were just there to serve as foils.
Actually, in the last two days, there were not many matches for the other rookies. At this time, if you did not challenge the top 7000 ranked cultivators, you would be too embarrassed to go on stage!
People were fighting in the top 3000, but you were fighting someone ranked 10,000. Wouldn't you feel embarrassed?
"I think Qiuniu has a chance of winning by challenging the 2800th ranked cultivator. But for Chu Xiaoran to challenge the 2600th ranked cultivator, she is too bold. The chances of her losing are very high …"
Some people expressed their opinions. They had been discussing the outcome of Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran's matches for a long time. Everyone had their own opinions. The atmosphere was extremely heated.
But at this moment, someone suddenly said, "Eh … Isn't that person walking over Yi Yun?"
People were stunned and looked towards the direction of the voice. They saw a contestant bench not far from the arena. A youth in linen clothes strolled to his seat and sat down.
This youth was Yi Yun!
"It's really Yi Yun! He's finally here! "
The rookie ranking competition was coming to an end. It was the second last day, but Yi Yun was still ranked 10,003. (lwww {ww.)
People were speechless. Looking at Yi Yun, he did not have any sense of urgency. He was still leisurely sitting in his seat!
It would have been fine if he wasn't strong enough, but he clearly had hopes of making it into the top three.
"Yi Yun still has four more matches. Actually, there's still time … If I were him, I wouldn't be able to make it. In the first round, he would first fight against those in the top eight thousand to stabilize his lowest ranking. After that, he would challenge those in the top six thousand of the Earth Leaderboard and win another round. The first battle of the last day was against Gu Mu! If he wins, then everything will be settled. If he doesn't win, then he still has one more match to fight for his ranking. It won't be a problem for him to maintain fourth place. "
Someone said. Everyone listened. He also felt that it made sense.
People like them, who were weaker, had to go through more than a dozen matches to constantly experiment before they could find their own positions.
As for Yi Yun, he was stronger, so he was naturally more capricious. He could use Gu Mu as a benchmark. After three matches, he could basically lock in his ranking.
At this moment, people saw Yi Yun take out the Thousand Army Saber from his interspatial ring. He unsheathed the saber and began wiping the shiny blade.
Seeing this scene. Everyone was speechless.
He was extraordinarily calm.
Yi Yun slowly wiped the saber. Actually, a mortal's saber needed to be wiped with an oilcloth to maintain its sharpness. As for a treasured saber like the Thousand Army Saber, there was basically no need to wipe it.
But Yi Yun still wiped it bit by bit very seriously. This was not useless. Yi Yun was revisiting the insights he gained from the saber tomb and organizing the thoughts in his mind.
He did this through the action of wiping the saber. It allowed him to be more compatible with the saber. At the same time, he emptied his mind, allowing his insights to reach an optimal state.
Yi Yun silently wiped the saber for about an hour. At this moment, the afternoon matches were about to begin.
Yi Yun stood up and took a form. After filling in a few words, he looked up.
"Referee!"
Yi Yun shouted. Immediately, many people's eyes focused on Yi Yun.
They knew that Yi Yun was most likely going to choose his opponent!
A few days before the rookie ranking competition, many people had their eyes on a popular person like Yi Yun. Everyone wanted to challenge him. (ww) (ww) (ww) (ww.) Hence, the competition was arranged in advance. Everyone was given a challenge card, ensuring that no one would have more than twelve matches a day.
But in the last few days of the rookie ranking competition, there was no such situation. Basically, everyone who could fight had already fought.
As such, the time of the competition was very flexible. It was not a problem to decide on an opponent at the last minute. As long as the opponent was present, the battle could even begin immediately.
"Who do you think Yi Yun will challenge in his first match?" someone asked.
"The first one should be a veteran cultivator ranked 7000-8000. That way, it will be more stable."
"Hehe, I don't think it's possible. For Yi Yun to dare use a brick to deal with Liu Yuxing, it shows how confident he is. 7000-8000 is not his ranking. He might even challenge the top 5000 or even challenge Gu Mu!"
"Challenge Gu Mu? Make the final decision? That's impossible … Yi Yun has disappeared for a few days. Now that it's his first battle after appearing, logically speaking, he should find an opponent he's confident in. This way, he can win the first battle steadily and boost his morale. If he were to lose the first battle after holding back for so long, he would feel ashamed! "
People felt that it was more appropriate to have a guaranteed win in the first match.
But the person who spoke previously remained stubborn. He said, "Wait and see. Think about Yi Yun's glorious history of using a brick to defeat Liu Yuxing. It's not impossible for him to challenge Gu Mu in his first match …"
…
The referee looked at Yi Yun and said, "Do you want to challenge him?"
"Yes." Yi Yun handed over the challenge form that he had just filled up.
The referee took it and scanned it. He immediately revealed a strange expression, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Yi Yun nodded and sat back in his seat.
The referee did not say anything else. It was the contestant's freedom to challenge someone. He could not stop it.
The referee began to arrange the following matches.
People were curious about who Yi Yun's first opponent would be.
Soon, the referee gave the answer. Because the first match in the afternoon was Yi Yun!
Yi Yun had been absent from the rookie ranking competition for so many days. He was the first to go on stage on his first day! Even the referee wanted to see Yi Yun's performance.
People perked up. Compared to today's match between Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran, this was Yi Yun's first battle after his comeback. It made people look forward to it.
However, when the referee announced Yi Yun's opponent, everyone was shocked!
"Divine Wilderness Stage, number 10,003, Yi Yun! Challenge number 2980, Qiuniu! "
What!?
Challenging Qiuniu!
People were stunned. His first match was not to stabilize his ranking, nor was he challenging Gu Mu. He was challenging Qiuniu, who was currently ranked second amongst the rookies!
Challenging Gu Mu was already an exaggeration, but he was challenging Qiuniu. What was he thinking?
People could not react in time. On the stage, Gu Mu, who was ranked third amongst the rookies, frowned.
He had always treated Yi Yun as his biggest opponent in the rookie ranking competition. Now that Yi Yun had appeared, he was mentally prepared to fight a bloody battle with Yi Yun. He had accumulated a lot of battle experience in the rookie ranking competition over the past few days. He was confident that he could beat Yi Yun.
But he never expected that Yi Yun would ignore him and go past him to challenge Qiuniu.
This made Gu Mu very uncomfortable. He had been ignored!
"This Yi Yun actually dares to ignore me. Does he think that I'm not his match?"
Gu Mu clenched his fists. Yi Yun was looking down on him!
He had made sufficient preparations to fight Yi Yun, but Yi Yun did not take him seriously at all.
"He really has guts … When you fail to challenge Qiuniu, I'll fight you again. I'll let you know the consequences of ignoring me!" With this thought in mind, Gu Mu looked at Yi Yun with fighting spirit in his eyes.
…
"Challenging me …" Qiuniu was also very surprised. He glanced at Yi Yun and laughed, "Interesting! You are really young and frivolous. I originally thought that you would only fight me after you defeated Gu Mu! "
Qiuniu stood up. He had always been very interested in Yi Yun.
But he never expected that Yi Yun would have the guts to challenge him in the first match.
"Since you are so confident, I'll use the black gold armor to deal with your challenge. I'm giving you enough respect!"
As Qiuniu said that, he took out a large glove from his spatial ring and wore it on his right hand.
"Ka-cha!"
Three steel claws popped out from the glove. They shone with a cold light!
At the same time, Qiuniu's left hand was equipped with a large shield.
Following that, with a thought from Qiuniu, the two round metal pieces on his chest and back flashed. A set of black gold armor appeared and covered Qiuniu's body!
Qiuniu used a few seconds to wrap himself in the black gold armor. He was fully armed!
"Ha!"
Qiuniu roared and leaped up!
He was wearing an unknown number of kilograms of black gold armor. He jumped from a spot about a hundred feet away from the stage. He was like a flying tiger!
"Boom!"
Qiuniu squatted down to cushion his fall. With one hand on the ground, he slammed into the stage like a meteorite!
That loud bang caused the entire stage to tremble! People could not help but exclaim.
The thick purple tungsten tiles beneath Qiuniu's feet had clearly caved in. It was obvious how powerful Qiuniu's jump was.
Not to mention Qiuniu's attack, just this leap alone would have crushed anyone's bones if it had landed on them!
"How terrifying. He's like a humanoid primordial desolate beast!" Someone sighed. Looking at Qiuniu's aura, he was already afraid before the battle began. Most people would not be able to fight him.
Even Gu Mu, who was an upset rookie, did not have the guts to challenge Qiuniu. This was because Gu Mu knew that he was still far from being Qiuniu's match!
Qiuniu stood up. He was 1.9 meters tall and had a burly body. Coupled with the heavy armor, his muscles bulged with veins that looked like earthworms. It was as if they were about to explode!
