CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 837: BATTLE FOR RANKINGS

Among the hundred people on the square, the highest were only some eleven-star supreme emperors.

Such cultivation, in his eyes, was not worth mentioning at all.

Although on the surface, his cultivation was the same.

An eleven-star emperor, in Qing Province, was basically the pinnacle of cultivation.

"Hmm?"

Mu Jiu Zhou frowned slightly.

As he scanned the crowd, he found that many eleven-star emperors had been eliminated.

Even Jiang Lan had not appeared.

None of the cultivators from the Hidden Sect were seen either.

"Ling Chen’s hair?"

Mu Jiu Zhou quickly noticed Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s cultivation had also reached the level of an eleven-star emperor, which surprised him greatly.

What was more surprising was Ling Chen’s head of white hair.

Not just him, but even other cultivators quickly retracted their gaze and then focused on Ling Chen.

Ling Chen also withdrew his gaze.

He scanned around the square.

Soon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xiaoman and the others had also appeared and had not been eliminated.

"Jiang Xiaoman!"

Ling Chen walked towards Jiang Xiaoman.

"Ling Chen!"

Jiang Xiaoman also smiled and approached.

The group gathered together.

"Young Master Ling, congratulations!"

Jiang Xiaoman naturally sensed Ling Chen’s cultivation immediately.

She didn’t know what had happened to Ling Chen.

However, Ling Chen’s cultivation surprised her delightfully.

She had fought against Mu Jiu Zhou but was not his match.

Now it seemed an eleven-star emperor-level Ling Chen had a slight chance of vying for the top.

After all, back when Ling Chen was at the ten-star emperor level, he had defeated an eleven-star emperor.

Now having advanced to an eleven-star emperor, his strength might barely rival Mu Jiu Zhou.

However, defeating Mu Jiu Zhou would be somewhat difficult.

While the two were talking, Mu Jiu Zhou also flew over.

"Ling Chen, your strength has improved quickly, you’re qualified to spar with me. Just hope you can perform better, and don’t be as easily defeated as Jiang Xiaoman."

Mu Jiu Zhou said with a smile.

His voice was gentle, but the arrogance in his words was evident.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoman blushed.

Even though she deployed the Great Void Transformation Technique, she was still broken by a single sword from Mu Jiu Zhou.

Although the Great Void Transformation Technique is mysterious, it also has its limits.

An eleven-star emperor utilizing a top-grade Emperor Spirit Technique complemented by a proficient Sword Dao is the limit.

Moreover, Mu Jiu Zhou’s strength is not that simple.

Being able to look down on the younger generation for so many years naturally has some hidden cards.

Furthermore, with the teaching of Lord Governor, an Emperor Realm powerhouse, his strength is incredibly terrifying.

Ling Chen slightly smiled and said, "Young Master Mu, I’m sure I won’t disappoint you!"

"Good!"

Battle intent surged in Mu Jiu Zhou’s eyes, and he nodded heavily, saying, "Looking forward to a battle with you!"

Then, Mu Jiu Zhou walked towards the center of the square.

The prodigies automatically made way.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

While everyone was discussing, a series of figures appeared in the Void Realm.

In total, nine people came.

Mu Qing and the heads of the Eight Great Families.

These nine are the true leaders of Qing Province!

And only these nine have the qualifications to enter the Void Realm to watch the battle.

Others can only watch from the State Governor Mansion.

The nine stood in mid-air.

Mu Qing stepped forward, standing in front of the eight.

"Congratulations to all of you for making it to the Prodigy List!"

With that, he led the applause.

"Next, your true rankings on the Prodigy List will be decided."

"Each of you prodigies should see, here are a hundred thrones. There’s a number on each, from one to a hundred. The position you are able to sit in will be your ranking on the Prodigy List!"

"The rule of this ranking battle is that you have to choose a throne. Those who choose the same throne naturally become opponents. Only those who stand out can earn that ranking. If only one person chooses a throne, then no battle is needed, and that person occupies the throne."

"This round not only tests your true strength but also assesses your vision and understanding of yourself and others. In the next three days, I will display the strongest battle scenes of each prodigy."

"Afterward, you’ll decide on the position you want to challenge."

"Of course, some thrones might remain unoccupied. Losers can continue to choose an empty position until all thrones are seated."

"In this battle, there are no restrictions; any means can be used until one side chooses to concede or dies."

Mu Qing detailed the rules.

Then, Mu Qing played the battle scenes of a hundred prodigies one by one.

The prodigies also watched closely.

Analyzing their strengths.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll be invincible in a hundred battles.

Even Mu Jiu Zhou was no exception.

Though he looked down on everyone, he wanted to see their combat strength.

Ling Chen, of course, did not dare to be careless.

The prior carelessness almost cost him his life; Ling Chen naturally would not make such a mistake again.

One battle scene after another was presented on the light screen in the sky.

Ling Chen also gained a detailed understanding of his opponents.

Two hours later, a scene of Ling Chen’s battle with Qi Tianyan appeared on the screen.

The scene was edited.

The Void Emperor did not appear.

Everyone also understood why Ling Chen had such hair.

They simply could not understand what technique Qi Tianyan used.

It nearly caused a ten-star emperor without any resistance to almost perish.

They also didn’t know what method Ling Chen used to have a rejuvenating effect.

But they knew Ling Chen’s final sword was absolutely terrifying!

"This kid dared to even kill a disciple of the Heavenly Destiny Sect?"

Mu Jiu Zhou’s expression was solemn.

Before entering this place, Mu Qing had warned him to try not to kill Qi Tianyan.

But Ling Chen, without any backing, dared to be so ruthless.

Aren’t he afraid of Heavenly Destiny Sect’s revenge?

After another two hours.

The scene of the battle between Mu Jiu Zhou and Jiang Xiaoman appeared on the light screen.

In this battle, Jiang Xiaoman had not taken a single sword from Mu Jiu Zhou.

"A power surpassing eleven-star emperors?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Mu Jiu Zhou was also an eleven-star emperor, the World Power he utilized was somewhat stronger than an ordinary eleven-star emperor.

He did not use other methods.

It was just a top-grade Emperor Spirit Technique and proficient Sword Dao.

But just with this sword, Jiang Xiaoman, deploying the Great Void Transformation Technique, did not withstand it.

"A very good adversary!"

Battle intent surged in Ling Chen’s eyes.

Mu Jiu Zhou was not ordinary, and neither was Ling Chen.

His true strength had not yet been revealed!

The Tai Chu Calamity Relief Pill didn’t just simply raise a level of cultivation!

Others were not surprised by Mu Jiu Zhou’s strength.

Claimed as the number one prodigy in Qing Province, it would have been surprising if he wasn’t this dominant!

Instead, everyone was on high alert about Jiang Xiaoman, this rising dark horse prodigy.

Jiang Xiaoman didn’t take a sword from Mu Jiu Zhou but exhibited extremely strong defense.

Under such a terrifying sword, Jiang Xiaoman was only slightly injured.

At first, everyone had no impression of Jiang Xiaoman.

But now, he was considered a formidable opponent.

Next, Jiang Xiaoman’s battle scenes were presented.

Everyone finally saw Jiang Xiaoman’s true strength.

An eleven-star peak emperor was no match for Jiang Xiaoman.
