I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 561 Attacking the Ranking

The second round of the Sword Cultivator and Magic Cultivator Hero Rankings is nearing its end. With the bottom 100 cultivators' scores turning negative, their rankings on the Hero Rankings are now pending. With the addition of the 100 cultivators on the Hero Rankings, there are now 500 cultivators in both the Magic Cultivator and Sword Cultivator arenas advancing to the third round.

After this third round, the Heroes Ranking was finalized, and other professional Heroes Rankings were launched successively.

The top 100 on the pending Heroes Ranking have been released, and Lingyun Sect cultivators still have the most on the list.

Yes, as expected of a leading sect, they have so many talented people.

There are many, but apart from Hua Lanzheng on the sword cultivator list who is at number one, the top three spots on the list are all occupied by other sects, with the Free and Unfettered Sect even taking two spots.

When did the Free and Unfettered Sect become so powerful? Redwood? And Long Aotian? Where did they suddenly appear from? I don't think I've ever heard of these two in the cultivation world before.

The name Hongmu was unfamiliar, but Long Aotian had already made an appearance at the university competition, so his strength was considerable. After Long Aotian became the spokesperson for Hengxing Technology, I looked into him a bit more; he has quite a rich background and is a representative of a grassroots success story.

Is that so? Long Aotian wields a sword?

I don't know why, but I feel that Long Aotian's swordplay is very similar to that of a powerful figure. I wonder if I can say...

Tell me, I want to hear it.

Have you guys noticed that many of Long Aotian's sword moves resemble Heng Yixing's style?

Now that you mention it, I just watched a comparison video, and they really do look similar.

What about rosewood? What is its origin?

I don't know the origin of the redwood, the only thing I'm sure of is that it comes from the Xiaoyao Sect.

Isn't the Xiaoyao Sect the sect where Heng Yixing, Yu Cui, and Bei Mingzi are located? Why do you all say that this sect is unknown and poor?

This story begins with the recruitment of new members by the Xiaoyao Sect before the sect competition. It's a bit long, so you can search for it yourself.

My opinion of the Free and Unfettered Sect has changed quite a bit. It seems the cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect participating in the sect competition don't appear to be evil cultivators; their behavior seems quite normal, and they also possess strength. This year, they should be able to break into the ranks of the four major sects and become the fifth major sect through the sect competition.

No, no, no. Even if the Free and Unfettered Sect had the strength, it wouldn't be possible. The four major sects wouldn't let the Free and Unfettered Sect get what they wanted. Besides, without a powerful background, the Free and Unfettered Sect simply couldn't occupy the best resources. They would be more likely to be jointly suppressed.

The second round was really intense; it ended quickly. Five hundred cultivators are now starting the third round of defending and competing for the rankings. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow.

The amount in the Xiaoyao Sect's pool is the smallest; I suddenly regret not betting on Xiaoyao Sect before the competition.

I don't know how to put it, but I feel that the Free and Unfettered Sect has risen to prominence very quickly. The sect was in ruins, yet so many cultivators have joined. Most importantly, how come there are so many experts in such a short time?

Where are the experts? It's only been a few months since recruitment started, so it's probably just a bunch of rabble.

Let me tell you something that surprised me recently. The Free and Unfettered Sect only has a little over two thousand members, and exactly two thousand of them came to participate in the sect competition. So, it's clear that the Free and Unfettered Sect is short of people.

The strongest cultivator in the cultivation world: Come and see! The Free and Unfettered Sect is continuously recruiting new members. Everyone who joins the sect will receive a top-grade pill. We don't cheat cultivators; everyone gets one!

This ad came in rather abruptly.

Fellow Daoist Hong, what we're saying is, stop trying to seize every opportunity. Your timing is a bit too coincidental, isn't it?

A fresh photo of the third-ranked sword cultivator!

Honestly, it's making me want to join the Free and Unfettered Sect.

The second round has come to a successful conclusion.

The rules for this third round are completely different from the first two rounds.

The leaderboard at the end of the second round is a pending list, only the top 100 with the highest scores out of 500 people will be selected, and the final list will be determined in the third round.

The top 100 cultivators on the Heroes Ranking act as both champions and challengers, while cultivators ranked after 100 are only challengers.

At the start of the third round, each cultivator can spend one point to choose a cultivator on the leaderboard to fight. Winning the match means successfully challenging the leaderboard, while losing the match means failing to challenge the leaderboard.

The successful challenger can replace the defending champion in the leaderboard.

Bai Zhizhou addressed the list of heroes:

"For example, if A is ranked 15th on the Heroes Ranking, and B spends one point to fight against A, and B wins, B will replace A as the 15th on the Heroes Ranking, and B loses, A will successfully defend his title and remain the 15th on the Heroes Ranking."

"This rule is actually quite fair. If A is ranked 15th on the leaderboard and B is ranked 16th, and B happens to choose A to compete against, if B wins the match, B will be ranked 15th and A will be ranked 16th. If B loses the match and loses one point, B will still be ranked 16th."

Zhong Liyu applied this knowledge to other situations.

"Yes, so in order to maintain our position on the leaderboard, we can only win and not lose. If we run out of points and end up with a negative number, we will be eliminated."

Li Ling raised the hammer: "Should we target a sect directly?"

Jiang He approached. She was in the Nascent Soul stage, and her self-healing ability was enhanced; her injuries had almost completely healed.

"No need, just adapt to the situation. Rankings 35, 37, 48, 60..."

These cultivators aren't very powerful; they should be able to succeed in climbing the rankings.

"it is good."

With Jiang He's words, the members of the Xiaoyao Sect felt reassured.

To be honest, they did have a reassurance, which Jiang He gave them before the competition.

It's a top-grade elixir.

It's both sweet and troublesome.

The third round of the ranking competition for sword cultivators and magic cultivators began overnight.

Each cultivator chooses one cultivator from the rankings as their opponent.

Once the selection is complete, the challengers will appear after the cultivators on the Heroes Ranking at the top of the screen.

The challenged player can choose the number of cultivators and their names in each round.

Once a cultivator on the list is challenged by another, the defender cannot refuse until the challenger succeeds or defeats all the challengers.

As the data on the screen was slowly revealed, netizens gradually noticed that several cultivators were followed by a long string of challenger names.

Zhong Liyu's eyes widened as he stared at the names of the cultivators lined up behind Jiang He. The scrolling comments had been playing for several minutes and hadn't stopped yet.

"Holy crap, so many cultivators are challenging us? Do they think our sect is made of dough? Not only Senior Sister, but Long Aotian is also followed by a bunch of names. Why do all sorts of random people want to get involved?"

Ye Yinqiu: "That's true. There are 56 cultivators. Even if each match ends in two minutes, it will still take two hours to finish."

"Let me see, so many cultivators are choosing Senior Sister. What are they thinking? Do they really think Senior Sister's record is just because she was carried?"

Shangguan Linghu stared intently: "This is going to be interesting."
