In the boundless desert filled with sand and wind, two figures flew past each other. The instant they crossed paths, magic power collided, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
Immediately afterward, blood splattered, and one of them cursed loudly, "Asura Arena, f * ck your ancestors!"
There was no justice in this world. Why did they arrange such a powerful opponent for him? They were both Weapon Cultivators, but the opponent's cultivation was one level higher than his, and his strength was also so terrifying. He had used all his strength, but he couldn't even take a simple strike from the opponent.
Even though he knew that some cultivators who had just arrived here were unfathomably powerful, he still found it hard to accept that he had actually encountered one.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivator's figure disappeared.
The scenery around him shattered, and Lu Ye returned to his cave abode. He picked up the Asura Token and checked it.
Battle Arena Ranking (Yue Yao): 53,621
That battle just now was the tenth battle he had experienced here. After the tenth battle, this ranking would be his initial ranking in the Battle Arena.
The opponents he had encountered were not strong, and could even be said to be very weak. Basically, none of them could withstand a single strike from his saber. Lu Ye was not surprised by this, and he was not complacent.
A ranking of over 50,000 was not low in the entire Battle Arena of the Yue Yao Realm, but it was naturally not enough for him. He only had one goal, and that was to rank first on the Yue Yao Ranking.
He continued to participate in the battles without stopping. Although he had experienced ten battles, they were not even a warm-up for him. He hadn't even stretched his muscles.
Now that he had his own ranking, he had two options for participating in the battles.
The first option was to directly enter the Battle Arena. The Battle Arena would randomly arrange an opponent for him, and depending on his performance during the battle, his ranking would increase or decrease. Of course, regardless of whether his ranking increased or decreased, the change would not be too great.
There was also another method. That was to directly challenge the cultivators ranked ahead of them. There was a limit to this challenge. The challenger could only challenge those who were within 1,000 spots of each other. If the challenger won, they would take the challenger's place while the loser would fall by one spot.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment before choosing the second option. Even if he chose the first option, his ranking would not increase by too much after he won, so he might as well choose the second option and increase his ranking by 1,000 with each victory.
Lu Ye, who was immersed in the Asura Order, immediately saw the complete Lunar Jade List. There were over 500,000 names on it. First, there was the ranking. Then, there was the name of each cultivator. After the name, there was the region or star system where the cultivator was from. Finally, there was the battle record of the cultivator in the arena.
For example, Lu Ye's information on the Yue Yao Ranking.
53,621, Lu Ye, Realm of the Nine, Yue Yao of the Yue Yao Realm.
However, Lu Ye's realm of the Yue Yao Realm and yue Yue Yue's name... but Yue Yue Yao Realm, Yue Yue, and Lu, Yue Yue Yue, yue, yue, yue, yue Yue Yue, yue, yue.
Yue yue yue yue yue yue, yue yyue yue yue yue, yue, yyyue
Yue yue yue yue of the Yue Yue Yue ue, yue, yue!
Yue Yue Yue yue yyue Yue yue ue, yue ue yue yue? yue yue yue Yue Yue Yue yue
He shifted his gaze upward and began to challenge the cultivator ranked in the top 1,000. However, when he issued the challenge, there was no response.
This undoubtedly meant that the cultivator who was being challenged was not in the Heavenly Asura Realm. He should be in a training environment.
This was a common occurrence. When faced with such a situation, Lu Ye would either wait for his opponent to return or change his target.
Of course, he chose the second option.
He once again challenged the cultivator who was ranked 999 in front of him, but in the end, he still failed.
Lu Ye took another step back. This time, he finally succeeded. Moreover, the other party didn't make Lu Ye wait for too long, even though according to the rules, the other party had an hour to prepare.
The door to the battlefield opened again, and Lu Ye stepped inside.
Ten breaths later, Lu Ye returned …
The cultivators ranked around fifty thousand were all Moon Jade Intermediate Stage cultivators. They weren't much stronger than the opponents he had faced so far, so it wasn't difficult for him to deal with them.
A single challenge had raised his ranking by almost a thousand places.
Basically, once Lu Ye issued a challenge, the challengers would quickly accept it. Occasionally, there would be a few cultivators who dilly-dallied, waiting for the half-hour time limit to prepare before entering the Battle Arena. This was not a big deal.
In just a little over a day, Lu Ye's ranking jumped from 50,000 to 10,000.
Now that the rankings had reached this level, the rules for the challenges had changed once again. The number of challengers had changed from within the top 1,000 to within the top 100. Additionally, the preparation time for the challengers had also increased from one hour to two hours. This was undoubtedly a way for the cultivators to better display their abilities in the fighting arena.
As for the cultivators ranked at this level, their strength had clearly undergone a significant change. Within the top 10,000, most of them were late Moon Jade Stage cultivators. Very few of them were mid Moon Jade Stage cultivators. The few mid Moon Jade Stage cultivators were undoubtedly capable of fighting above their cultivation level.
Lu Ye chose his target. It was an opponent from the Three Yang Realm called Che Chi. He was at the late stage of Yue Yao's cultivation and had a record of 760 victories. His win rate was around 60%.
The door to the Battle Arena opened. Lu Ye stepped in and appeared in the Battle Arena.
He immediately noticed that the battle this time was different from the previous ones because there was a layer of spectator stands outside the huge sealed battle arena. On the spectator stands, there were a few figures of cultivators sitting and watching the battle.
There had been dozens of battles in the past, but there had never been any spectators. This time, however, there were.
Lu Ye was already familiar with this scene, so he was not surprised. Moreover, according to the information he had obtained from Chen Xuanhai, these spectators were not just there to watch the show. They could also place bets in the Battle Arena. They were not limited to Spirit Jades or Asura Seals. If one side won, then the many cultivators who placed their bets could split the bets of the cultivators who lost.
The jade slip that Gui Yi had given him also mentioned this. However, Gui Yi had advised him not to participate. Since ancient times, many people had taught the world a bloody lesson that anything related to gambling was not a good thing. You might be able to enjoy glory for a while, but there would always be a time when you would lose everything.
The end result of betting on luck was to lose everything.
Lu Ye wanted to participate because he was very confident in his own strength. Unfortunately, the rules of the Battle Arena forbade both sides from participating in the bet.
At this time, somewhere to the east of the spectator stands, there was a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure.
Just by looking at her makeup and clothes, anyone would think that this woman should have a docile and dignified personality. But in fact, although she was wearing a palace dress, she sat there with a golden saber in her hand, one hand on the armrest of the chair next to her, the other on her knee. Her body leaned forward slightly, a pair of eyes faintly bloodshot, constantly moving between the figures of Lu Ye and Che Chi in the battle. There was a thoughtful expression on her face, as if she was judging the strength of these two people.
Next to her was a petite and cute girl. At this moment, this petite girl was hugging the woman's arm, a pleading look on her face, "Honorable Master, you can't gamble anymore. The Asura Seals you worked so hard to accumulate are almost gone!"
The woman was too lazy to listen to her. Reaching out, she pulled the petite girl into her arms and stopped her with one hand. The petite girl suddenly felt her face being covered by softness, and even her breathing became difficult. She couldn't help but struggle.
The woman watched for a while and couldn't help but scratch her head in annoyance.
Suddenly, a whimpering sound rang out. Only then did she remember her disciple and quickly let go. The petite girl broke free and took deep breaths, her face flushed red.
The woman asked, "Good disciple, look at these two. Which one will win?"
The petite girl felt wronged, "Honorable Master, if you can't see it, how can I? Let's go! "
"Don't be long-winded. Didn't Honorable Master teach you to pick yourself up from where you fell? Honorable Master can't see it because Honorable Master's gambling luck is bad. It has nothing to do with anything else. If you help me choose this time, I will definitely win!"
Sitting in the stands, she couldn't see the specific information of the two sides fighting in the arena. Moreover, there was the isolation of the arena, so even if the woman had Sunshine's cultivation, it was difficult to determine who was stronger before the two people below started fighting.
"Hurry up and choose, there isn't much time left." The woman urged.
The petite girl also knew what kind of person her Honorable Master was. She was good at everything, but her gambling habit was too heavy. Often, she would lose everything she had. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the poorest Sunshine in the entire Starry Sky.
Unable to dissuade her, the petite girl could only accept her fate. However, asking her to choose an opponent to bet on was undoubtedly a bit difficult for her. This was related to the last bit of her Honorable Master's wealth, so she could only grit her teeth and point in a direction, "Then let's choose him!"
The woman asked, "Why?"
This was the most troublesome point for the petite girl. Honorable Master often asked her to help choose an opponent to bet on, but she also wanted her to explain the reason. She didn't have any reason, so she just casually pointed. Thinking about it, she asked, "Is this one younger?"
The woman glanced at her unhappily, "What's so good about being younger? Only you little girls like to judge people by their appearance. Remember, the older the ginger, the spicier!"
The petite girl didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was already a few hundred years old, yet her Honorable Master still called her a little girl.
The woman had already made a decision and waved her jade hand, "I choose the older one!"
The petite girl was speechless. If that's the case, then what's the point of letting me choose who to bet on?
In the battle arena, Lu Ye quietly waited, also observing his opponent. At this level of ranking, the battle wouldn't begin immediately after entering the battle arena. Instead, there would be around 30 breaths of time to wait. This was most likely to allow those spectators to place their bets.
Only after thirty breaths of time could the two sides participate in the battle freely.
Soon, thirty breaths passed. After Lu Ye noticed that the force restricting her had disappeared, she immediately rushed forward. (End of Chapter)
