Chapter 350 - Sky Ranking
Chapter 350 – Sky Ranking
Long Feiyan's expression turned grave. Her golden aura burst forth and hastily transformed into several layers of solid metal barriers above her head.
Zzzzz…Bang!
The thick lightning bolt instantly penetrated Long Feiyan's golden metal barrier with no problem and struck her body directly.
Long Feiyan was heavily crashed onto the ground by the irresistible lightning strike. Her entire body was seriously burned; every single place on her body had turned into charcoal black. Her limbs were constantly twitched by the lightning energy left within her. Her current appearance was so miserable, extremely contrasted with when she first appeared.
Yun Lintian let out a long breath, and a wave of fatigue immediately hit him. Earlier, he had mobilized the Thunder and called for the lightning strike with half of its original power. This move drained a lot of his profound energy as well as his mental power. In the future, he had to save this for the last resort.
He looked at Long Feiyan in the distance and couldn't help thinking whether he had gone overboard.
"You surely didn't hold back, junior brother." At this moment, Murong Xue appeared beside Long Feiyan along with Jiang Yingyue, Nantian Fengyu, and the short-haired woman Yun Lintian had seen before. They glanced at Long Feiyan and turned to look at Yun Lintian in amazement.
Yun Lintian smiled awkwardly. "Sorry."
"My good junior brother did nothing wrong. Third sister had obviously started this first. She didn't hold back too. If it wasn't because of junior brother's strong physique, he would probably lie on the bed for several months by now." Nantian Fengyu interjected, and there was a hint of pleasure in her voice. It seemed she had a slight grudge against Long Feiyan.
"Stop talking and help Feiyan first." Jiang Yingyue said and carefully poured her profound energy to stabilize Long Feiyan's injuries.
Nantian Fengyu pursed her mouth and watched silently with no intention of helping.
Meanwhile, the short-haired woman stared at Yun Lintian attentively. Her eyes were clearly leaking with greed as if she had discovered a priceless treasure.
Being stared like this, every strand of hair on Yun Lintian's body involuntarily stood up, and he subconsciously stepped back.
Murong Xue noticed this and chuckled. "You two haven't met each other before, right? This is your fourth sister, Wu Qingcheng." She then turned to the short-haired woman, Wu Qingcheng, and said. "This is our junior brother, Yun Lintian."
The more Wu Qingcheng looked at Yun Lintian, the brighter her eyes became. She strode forward and said excitedly. "Junior brother, do you want to get rich?"
Yun Lintian was taken aback and glanced at Murong Xue for help. The latter curled her lips, unwilling to say anything, and looked at them with gusto.
Helplessly, Yun Lintian turned to Wu Qingcheng and asked uncertainly. "What instruction do you have, fourth sister?"
Wu Qingcheng patted Yun Lintian's shoulder and said enthusiastically. "With your strength, I believe no one in the same realm as yours could be your opponent. Why don't we use this chance to earn a wave of money? You can simply challenge anyone, and your fourth sister will be responsible for opening the betting table. How about it? It's a good idea, right?"
Yun Lintian's mouth twitched slightly and said wryly. "Sorry, fourth sister. I'm not interested in money, and I don't want to show myself in public."
Wu Qingcheng gave a profound smile to Yun Lintian and said slowly. "You have no choice now. I have already sent a challenge letter on your behalf. Your first match will start tomorrow."
"What…" Yun Lintian wanted to curse out loud, but he managed to hold back timely. His brows creased together as he said coldly. "Why are you doing this, fourth sister?"
Facing Yun Lintian's cold expression, Wu Qingcheng didn't seem to be affected in the slightest. She responded with a smile. "Have you ever heard the sky ranking?" She didn't wait for Yun Lintian to reply and continued. "The sky ranking is our academy's power ranking. As long as you can enter the top ten rankings, you will receive a huge amount of resources. I know you have a lot of heaven-defying treasures. These resources are probably a joke in your eyes, but it doesn't mean your senior sisters don't need them."
Wu Qingcheng deliberately paused for a moment and said further. "And now, our master is recovering her former strength. Don't you think these resources are useful for her?… Also, entering the top ten rankings will give you a chance to compete for the Heavenly Sword Summit's quota. I think you should have heard about it before, right?"
Yun Lintian wanted to tell her that he had all the resources everyone needed, and they were almost unlimited too, but he didn't say it in the end. After all, it would be too suspicious. When he heard about the Heavenly Sword Summit part, his interest was piqued immediately.
Yun Lintian had never seen this Heavenly Sword before, but he believed it was definitely a peerless treasure. Who knows, he might have a chance to obtain it.
"But that means I have to face a Saint Profound Realm student. I'm afraid I can't reach the top ten ranking with my current strength." Yun Lintian expressed his thought.
Wu Qingcheng laughed slightly and pointed at Long Feiyan. "She's at the peak of the Saint Profound Realm, but you still can subdue her. Don't you think your statement is a bit ridiculous?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "It's not the same, fourth sister. That's my trump card, and I cannot use it freely at will. No matter what, I am just the Origin Profound practitioner."
Wu Qingcheng frowned slightly and said. "It's fine if you can't enter the top ten right now. Wait until your strength reaches the Ruler Profound Realm. I believe no one in this academy would be your opponent."
Wu Qingcheng possessed an incredibly sharp perception. She could clearly see Yun Lintian's potential and power ceiling from the earlier battle. If she guessed correctly, his true strength could rival a practitioner with two great realms higher than his.. In her opinion, the peak Monarch might not necessarily be his opponent when he reached the Ruler Profound Realm.
