Chapter 33: Battle of the Immortal Rankings Board Prodigies

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Today was the last day of the free-for-all battle event and over forty thousand students, each with some sort of injury, gathered on White Jade Plaza.

These were the students who had participated in the event but had already been defeated.

The plaza was enveloped in an insanely large healing formation spell. This formation spell was emitting a rich life-force, continuously healing the injured students.

Moreover, in the instances where a student was critically injured, teachers specializing in healing spells would assume responsibility for their treatment.

It could be said that as long as you were still breathing when you had been teleported out, you wouldn’t need to worry about dying in this event.

Students on the White Jade Plaza had two aims. The first was to receive treatment and the second was to spectate the ultimate battle of the free-for-all battle event.

A crystal screen thousands of feet in size was suspended in the air above the plaza. Right now though, there was nothing on the screen.

Even so, the atmosphere on the plaza was especially boisterous, with students already engaged in spirited discussions.

“How come the crystal screen still hasn’t started streaming yet?!”

“Don’t worry, the crystal screen will start broadcasting the battles live when we’re down to the last two-hundred students. Based on previous experience, there are still about four hours to go.”

“Hehe, the boundaries are probably shrinking now. Eventually, the boundary in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks will shrink from an area of one hundred square miles to an area of three square miles. When that time comes, the battles will sure be intense…”

“Who do you guys think is going to take the top rank in this year’s Immortal Rankings Board?”

“Of course it’s going to be Wang Xuanzhan. When he was just a third-year student, he was already in the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and had topped the Immortal Rankings Board. Now that a year has passed, his strength will only be more unfathomable. Apart from him, who else can it be?”

“I feel that it’s going to be Yang Chengwu. He also has a rank of Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and was ranked third in the previous Immortal Rankings Board after just losing to Wang Xuanzhan. Now that he’s about to graduate, he might be able to excel and take the top rank.”

“Humph! I reckon it’ll be Goddess Liu. Her moves are fantastic and mystifying. Perhaps she can pull off a miracle!”

…

All sorts of discussions were taking place on the White Jade Plaza. Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, the fiercest and most bloody battles had already begun!

The blue spell formation boundary shrank continually, and the remaining students all started to converge towards the Immortal King Peak, which was located in the center of the battleground. From time to time, students would bump into each other and an intense battle would erupt.

Up in the sky, An Lin—who was riding upon a dog—looked completely worn out.

He had already experienced numerous heated battles today. The weakest opponent he had come across had a rank of Tenth Stage Dao Body and the strongest was so powerful that they were ranked amongst the previous Immortal Rankings Board.

If it wasn’t for them ganging up on opponents and fighting as a duo, they probably would have been teleported out of the battleground ages ago.

An Lin was looking at the system interface. After ranking up to the Ninth Stage Dao Body, the mission given under the ‘Cultivation Base’ section became even more absurd.

“Tenth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Master three different system-provided cultivation methods.”

The interface of the ‘Cultivation Methods’ section had refreshed and there was a new wind category cultivation method.

“Stage One Wind Spirit—Condition: Jump off a cliff one-hundred-thousand feet in height once.”

Counting the thunder category cultivation method from before which required him to be struck by lightning, there were exactly three cultivation methods.

Which was to say, if An Lin had three lives, he could try to rely on the system and break through to the Tenth Stage Dao Body!

Oh, there was also another cultivation method provided by the system and it was under the ‘God’ category.

“Divine Might—Condition: Be worshipped by ten thousand people!”

Under An Lin’s current situation, this was as difficult as trying to reach the heavens!

If the condition was changed to ‘be scorned by ten thousand people’, he would be a tad more confident.

He stopped thinking about matters related to the system and cast his eyes downwards towards the ground, continuing his search for prey.

Boom!

A flaming slash cut through the air and crashed into the ground. A terrifying wave of energy swept through the surroundings and it appeared especially devastating.

“What powerful energy fluctuations. It’s a battle between prodigies of the Immortal Rankings Board and their rankings don’t appear to be low either. Let’s check it out!”

An Lin patted Da Bai’s head excitedly and they started flying in the direction of the battle.

Once they were close enough, they finally saw which two people were battling.

“Xu Xiaolan!” An Lin shouted instinctively when he saw one of the figures.

He was able to recognize this extremely familiar figure straight away.

Xu Xiaolan was very skilled with the sword. During her battle, she combined the power from her Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bloodline with her sword techniques, giving rise to an astonishing power.

An extremely pure flame burst from her sword every time she brandished it about. This made her appear like a Heavenly Phoenix, not only appearing magnificent and noble, but also possessing tremendous power.

Although Xu Xiaolan was powerful, her opponent was no pushover either. He was a solidly built male who was brandishing two swords.

As his swords danced about, an airtight sword-net formed and blocked out most of Xu Xiaolan’s attacks.

Not only that, but he was also able to identify weak points in Xu Xiaolan’s attacks and carry out swift and fierce counterattacks.

This was a very close battle. Thus, even if Xu Xiaolan could emerge victorious, it would be a rough and difficult victory. It was inevitable that she would be injured.

An Lin felt very miserable as he could only watch on helplessly as his good friend was injured.

“An Lin, look over there!”

Da Bai suddenly shouted and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

An Lin came to his sense and looked towards where Da Bai was pointing. There, he could make out a human figure.

This person was extremely well-hidden, and their presence was suppressed to a minimal level. Moreover, their presence was further fused together with the surroundings.

If it wasn’t for Da Bai’s sharp eyes and being able to observe from the sky, it would have been impossible to detect him.

The person was silently observing Xu Xiaolan’s battle and his intentions were evident…

“Good fellow, he actually wants to deal a last hit… Doesn’t he know that the ancestor of the last hit trend is right here?!”

Fury burned in An Lin’s eyes. After seeing Xu Xiaolan become injured in this battle, he was already extremely unhappy.

This fellow actually dares lay in ambush. Does he plan on attacking the injured Xu Xiaolan?

“Let him appreciate the power of the human and dog duo, woof!”

Da Bai started clamoring for battle and was already itching to go.

…

Elsewhere, on the White Jade Plaza.

Images finally started to appear on the gigantic crystal screen and the atmosphere on the plaza instantly reached a fever pitch.

The screen was split into more than ten windows and each displayed a different battle.

“Quick, look over there! It’s a battle between Yang Chengwu and Luo Chenglong!”

“What’s so interesting about that? Rank Three of the Immortal Rankings Board taking on Rank Thirty-six, it’ll just be an insta-kill.”

“Heh, he lost just as expected…”

Right as he finished speaking, Yang Chengwu’s battle ended.

The tens of thousands of students each looked towards differing screens and they started discussing the events spiritedly.

Some people took notice of a certain screen.

“Quick, look over there! Isn’t that male who’s holding the two swords the twenty-ninth placed Xiong Sha? Who’s the female fighting against him? She looks unfamiliar!”

At this moment, an observant student replied, “She appears to be a student of the newest cohort. She’s called Xu Xiaolan.”

“For real? She’s a new student?!”

Cries of surprise sounded around the plaza. They were astonished that such a new student was actually able to hold their own against a prodigy ranked twenty-ninth on the Immortal Rankings Board.

Apart from the two supremely talented students who were already in the Spirit Nurturing Stage, her strength could already be considered in the top echelon amongst the new students.

They silently committed the beautiful and powerful girl to their memory. She had already become a rising star of the university and it was very likely that in the coming years, she would break through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

Right at this moment, another window popped up on the live-stream wall. This indicated that another battle had begun.

Whenever a new battle erupted, it would attract the gaze of most people.

At this moment, tens of thousands of students cast their eyes towards the new window.

The plaza which had been especially boisterous gradually fell silent.

More and more students cast their attention over to the new battle, and their expressions all became most peculiar.

Some wore expressions of astonishment, whilst others had an odd look on their face. Some of them even rubbed their eyes in utter disbelief.

The battle appeared extremely odd…

What they saw was a gigantic white dog sitting on a member of the Immortal Rankings Board with a sinister smile on his face.

His large paws held the prodigy’s hands down firmly.

The prodigy was unable to move and had a look of terror on his face.

As for the other male, his fists were like raindrops as they rained down frenziedly upon the prodigy’s face…
