Chapter 107: Ranking Battle (Thanks to CHEN9857 for supporting 8)
The next day dawned.
As soon as a flash of white light appeared in the eastern sky, Lin Yun had already left the house early.
Today is the last day of this month, and it is also the outer sect ranking competition held once a month.
The outer sect ranking battle is an assessment specifically for outer sect disciples.
The strength ranking of the outer disciples is determined based on the points earned in the ranking battle.
Normally, most of the outer disciples would come to participate in the ranking battle at the end of the month.
Because their strength ranking will directly affect the training resources they can enjoy.
The assessment site for the ranking battle is located in an open space in the back mountain of Wufu in Yuzhou.
In the center of the open space, there is a ten-foot-tall pagoda. This pagoda is the Fantasy Array Tower specially used for ranking battle assessments.
There are five floors in the Fantasy Array Tower, and each floor is equipped with precise illusion arrays. Only by breaking the illusion array inside can you pass the level and continue to the higher level.
When Lin Yun arrived at the back mountain, many disciples had already gathered at the scene.
As time went by, more and more disciples were present, and by the end it was already a sea of people.
Most of the people who come here to participate in the ranking battle are new disciples who have been admitted to the hospital for less than two years, and their realm is basically a second-level warrior. There are very few old disciples whose realm exceeds a third-level warrior.
Because the martial arts government has regulations, disciples who come to participate in the ranking battle must pay a handling fee. However, as long as they can improve ten places in the ranking battle, the handling fee paid can be refunded.
The ranking of new disciples rises relatively quickly. It is easy to rise from a thousand to over nine hundred within a month.
As for the old disciples who are ranked high, it is not so easy to be promoted. If you want to be promoted from fifty to forty within a month, it is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.
It is precisely because of this that not many old disciples come to participate in the ranking battle. Especially the higher up the ranking, the fewer people come to participate.
There were only a few old disciples who were among the top two hundred and who had reached the pinnacle of the third-level warrior.
These old disciples always put on a arrogant attitude, and their faces were full of disdain when they saw the new disciples, and their eyes were full of contempt.
What's more, in front of the new disciples, there was a burst of wanton belittling.
"Hey, the standards of these new disciples are really poor!"
"Isn't that true? Especially among the new disciples who were admitted to the hospital this year, some of them can't even reach the level of a second-level warrior. This strength makes me unable to complain."
"Today's new disciple Tai Shui is no longer as valuable as we were at that time."
Hearing the disparagement of the old disciples, the new disciples all looked gloomy. But no one stood up to refute, they could only silently clenched their fists.
Lin Yun stood among the new disciples, silently listening to the old disciple's belittling, with no expression on his face, as if everything that happened at the scene had nothing to do with him.
Not long after, a slightly older man came to the scene.
This man was in his late twenties, and there was a striking sword mark on his left cheek, which made his entire face look a little dated.
The appearance of this scarred man was like a drop of water dripping into a frying pan, causing an uproar in the entire scene.
"Isn't that Senior Brother Qin Feng? He's even here!"
"Senior Brother Qin Feng is one of the top 100 senior disciples in the outer sect. It is said that his realm has exceeded the fourth level of warrior!"
"At the level of a fourth-level warrior, isn't that a mid-level warrior? There is a fundamental difference between mid-level warriors and low-level warriors like us."
Seeing Qin Feng's arrival, both old and new disciples showed admiration on their faces.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, always raised his chin and looked at everyone from a downward angle. His eyes were full of contempt, and there was an unconcealable arrogance in his bones.
When the morning sun was high in the sky, an elder arrived at the scene.
In just a blink of an eye, the elder flew over the crowds of people, arrived at the bottom of the Illusion Array Tower, and introduced himself to everyone.
"The Illusion Array Tower is driven by Yuan Stone, and the enemies in the tower are all false illusions. Even if you are injured or die inside, your body will not be affected, so just go ahead with peace of mind."
"The more enemies you kill in the Fantasy Array Tower, the higher the points you will get. And your ranking will be determined based on the points."
"Killing a first-level warrior will earn you 5 points."
"Killing the second-level warrior will earn you 15 points."
"Killing the third-level warrior will earn you 45 points."
"Killing the fourth-level warrior will earn you 135 points."
"Killing the fifth-level warrior will earn you 405 points."
After finishing speaking, the elder took out several pieces of Yuan Stone and embedded them in the grooves of the bottom wall of the Illusion Array Tower.
After the Man Yuan Stone was embedded, the runes on the surface of the Magic Array Tower immediately lit up brightly, indicating that the Magic Array in the tower had been activated.
The elder then turned around and introduced to everyone: "The Fantasy Array Tower can only accommodate a maximum of thirty people entering at the same time. Due to the large number of people taking the exam, they need to enter in batches. Those whose names are read will go in first."
After the elder finished speaking, the gate of the Fantasy Array Tower opened immediately.
The disciples whose names were read all entered the Illusion Array Tower one after another.
These disciples are all new disciples, not a single old disciple is involved, and most of them are second-level warriors, and there are even a few who are at the peak of first-level warriors.
Not long after entering, a new disciple at the peak level of a first-level warrior was teleported out on the first floor.
The crystal tablet at the top of the Magic Array Tower also displayed his name and points at the same time he was teleported out.
The elder looked at the crystal tablet and announced: "Wang Shuai, score 5 points and rank above 1,000!"
When they heard the rankings announced by the elders, the old disciples laughed one after another.
"Five points? This guy can't even defeat two first-level warriors. He really disgraces our Yuzhou Martial Arts Palace!"
"When I first started, I could at least get through the first level. I can only say that the new disciples now are really bad!"
Hearing the old disciple's unabashed ridicule, the new disciple who was teleported looked frustrated.
After entering the first level, he only killed one first-level warrior-level enemy.
When he met two first-level warrior-level enemies at the same time, he was quickly defeated and eliminated directly.
Within the next quarter of an hour, a large number of new disciples were sent out.
Most of them were teleported from the first floor.
Only a few are transported from the second level.
Not even one new disciple has appeared who can break into the third level.
The scores of these new disciples almost all ranged from 15 to 75 points, and the highest ranked ones did not break into the top 600.
After seeing the achievements of a large number of new disciples, the old disciples present started to laugh unscrupulously.
"Tsk, tsk, look at the results of these new disciples, it really brightens my eyes."
"I heard that some time ago, a prospective disciple passed the entrance examination in just one day. It's really hard to imagine how difficult the current entrance examination has been."
"The difficulty of the entry examination has been reduced to this level, but there are still several months left before people can enter. This shows how poor the standards of those new disciples are."
Hearing these harsh words, the new disciples present lowered their heads in shame and kept clenching their trembling fists, suppressing the anger and humiliation in their hearts and not daring to burst out.
