Chapter 49: The Qualifying Race Begins

  This brilliant light was very dazzling, and from inside, two young men suddenly walked out.

  These two men were the second-ranked Qingfeng Cave's Young Master San, Xie Xuanfeng, and Wuyan Cave's Grand Young Master, Hua Qiankun. The two of them exchanged a brief glance before looking back again.

  Behind them, there was an even brighter light shining.

  "Hum"

  The bright light gradually dissipated, revealing a young man with a slightly immature face.

  Xie Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled and asked: "May I ask if you are Yang Yi?"

  The slightly immature man shook slightly and nodded: "Right, I am Yang Yi."

  Boom

  The remaining monks stared at Yang One with envy, admiration, jealousy and fear in their eyes.

  Hua Qiangu's voice was loud with laughter: "Good, good, Bai Yi is arrogant and unparalleled, looking down on everyone, thinking that all the cultivators in the world are not heroic figures. Haha, now he has been killed by Brother Yang, it can be said that we have vented our anger."

  These rich young men are actually all arrogant and extremely powerful, but compared to Bai Yi, they are far inferior. They are looked down upon by Bai Yi. With a personality like Bai Yi's, it's likely that there is no one in the world who hasn't been offended by him.

  Yang Yixin's thoughts were clear and transparent, she naturally knew the reason behind it, but only slightly nodded her head without saying a word.

  At this moment, a majestic voice came from the Huálóng Tower: "Any cultivator who is not in the top 100 on each floor must leave the Huálóng Tower immediately. One incense stick later, if you are still inside the Huálóng Tower but not among the top 100 cultivators, kill without mercy!"

  The icy voice exuded infinite majesty, and many cultivators began to leave the Dragon Transformation Tower one after another. In a short while, tens of thousands of cultivators were left with only a hundred, all of whom were the top 100 ranked cultivators.

  These hundred cultivators also formed one small team after another. Those with strong strength, mostly the young masters of cave and prefecture owners, were led by Xie Xuanyi and Hua Qiankun to form a small team, while other scattered cultivators also formed a team.

  Yang Yi stood alone on one side, with no one by his side.

  Xie Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he walked straight to Yang Yi, saying calmly: "Brother Yang, we're about to enter the qualifying match soon. Do you know anything about the situation with the qualifying match?"

  Yang's heart moved slightly, and he shook his head slightly.

  Xie Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he chuckled: "This ranking match must be to let us go kill alien beasts. These alien beasts are all conjured up from the Four Sides Mirror, their strength is on par with real alien beasts, but if we cultivators get killed, we won't die, we'll just be sent back immediately. With Yang brother's exceptional abilities, I believe getting into the top 100 will be a breeze."

  Although this news doesn't count for much in the eyes of those cave masters and young lords, it's somewhat important to Yang Yi. At least he now knows some inside information about this ranking tournament. However, he also understands what Xie Xuanyi means - it's just a gesture of goodwill, taking a liking to his strength, so that in the future when entering the Huolong Palace, there will be someone to rely on.

  It must be said that these young masters born in the families of powerful officials such as Dong Zhuang are indeed stronger than those loose cultivators in terms of interpersonal relationships, and they have already established connections with each other just by participating in the Huilong Great Competition.

  Yang then thanked Brother Xuanfeng.

  Xie Xuanfeng returned to his team, and Hua Qianguo's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he whispered: "Xie Xuanfeng, how did you know that Yang Yi didn't know about the ranking match?"

  Xie Xuan glanced at Hua Qiankun with a faint smile and said, "I'm guessing that he's so young and has such high strength, he must be constantly cultivating. Such a cultivation madman usually wouldn't bother to ask about these things. Heh, what I did may not seem like much, but it can gain his favor. This Yang Yi is able to kill Bai Yi, no small feat, maybe he really can enter the top ten in the overall ranking. At that time, he'll truly rise to prominence, and his good impression of me will turn into boundless benefits."

  Hua Qianguo, although also the son of the cave master, did not have Xie Xuanfeng's old and cunning ways, but in his heart, he secretly admired him and thought about when to pull closer ties with Yang Yi.

  Yang Yi's potential is obvious to everyone, and he will definitely be a key target for cultivation in the Huolong Palace in the future.

  At this moment, the entire Huálóng Tower suddenly shook, and a majestic voice resounded in everyone's ears: "Attention all cultivators, the ranking competition is about to begin. Enter the Four-Sided Mirror inside the Town Beast Tower. The tower has ten levels. Cultivators who clear one level will be ranked above those on the next level. If they are on the same level, then it depends on how many foreign beasts each cultivator has killed. Whoever kills more wins! Time limit: five hours."

  Boom

  All the monks were directly rolled into the four-sided mirror by a ray of light.

  When Yang Yi came to, he found that in front of him stood a gigantic and majestic high tower. The tower was constantly emitting a mournful sound that made one's hair stand on end.

  "This is the Beast Suppression Tower? Since there are only five hours, then don't waste any more time." Yang instantly entered the Beast Suppression Tower.

  Yang walked into the first floor in an instant.

  As soon as he entered the first floor, Yang Yi saw a sea of people, fearing that there were hundreds or even thousands. These were all top 100 existences from various regions, and now they were competing in the ranking tournament to contend for the top 100 overall rankings.

  Of course, on the first floor, there are countless Ox-Headed Beasts that far outnumber the hundreds and thousands of cultivators. These Ox-Headed Beasts are extremely powerful, but they are only equivalent to the peak of the Fourth Layer of Congealed Blood. Their bodies are incredibly robust, and most cultivators can kill them.

  Yang Yi was uninterested in the first floor, and directly headed towards the second floor. However, on the passageway from the first to the second floor, a golden cow-headed beast was guarding it.

  This is no ordinary Minotaur, its entire body is golden yellow, it has already become a Minotaur King with five drops of essence blood.

  It's guarded here, and it's a bit difficult to enter the second layer.

  Yang Yigong just happened to see someone trying to challenge the Ox Head King, but was instantly pierced through the body by the Ox Head King and turned into a ray of light back to the Huilong Tower. The speed of the Ox Head King is very fast, which is somewhat disproportionate to that huge body, and the strength is indeed not much different from that of the five drops of essence and blood masters.

  Yang Yi's mind presented the current ranking, with over 500 people already entering the second layer. If they couldn't even pass the second layer, forget about becoming one of the top 100.

  Yang instantly walked towards Niu Tou Wang, and saw that Niu Tou Wang's golden body flashed, and his sharp horns charged at Yang Yi.

  "Looking for death!"

  Yang Yi's body remained still, but the six drops of pure blood in his heart burst forth instantly, gathering a powerful force in his arm as he threw a punch at Ox-Headed King.

  Bang

  The body of the Ox-headed King flew back, its life taken by the powerful force. The Ox-headed King's body gradually disappeared, but soon another Ox-headed King appeared in the passage, looking at Yang Yi without any ferocity, instead hiding to one side and letting Yang Yi pass.

  Yang Yixin's heart moved, and he naturally thought of Xie Xuanyi's words. These strange beasts were indeed the Four Sides Mirror's illusions. The first thousand were all formal disciples of Huilong Palace, and Huilong Palace would not want their formal disciples to be injured during the ranking tournament.

  However, possessing such magical powers is probably only the strongest treasure.

  Yang Yi didn't hesitate and directly walked into the second floor.
