Chapter 186: Fulfill the bet?

Tang Yin smiled as he saw it, 'So easy to get to Rank A.' He thought to himself as he saw that his rank was upgraded to Rank A.

Although he was at the lower end of Rank A, in rank he was already within the top 300 of the Sect.

His way of advancing was by percentage of wins over defeats, and it wasn't because he had defeated an A Rank, which usually meant that he would soon leave the A Rank and be replaced by someone else.

If such a thing happened, Tang Yin would automatically become the Top 1 B Rank. In fact, it is the same for everyone who leaves a rank that way.

Right now, Tang Yin's ranking position is 178 out of 200. Once there are B-Ranks that advance to A-Rank in the fairest way, which is by beating an A-Rank, those at the bottom of the ranking will start to go down, and those that have not beaten any A-Rank will be the first to go down.

This mechanism is the same for all the Ranks except for the S Rank.

S Rank is always 100 disciples, and if you want to become an S Rank disciple, yes or yes, you need to beat one of those 100 disciples and take their place.

'Hm, I should try to reach S Rank today... It shouldn't be impossible if everything keeps up at this speed.' Tang Yin thought smiling as he returned to the place where they had agreed to meet. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Once he arrived, he was surprised, 'Ning Ruo?' He thought in shock as he looked at the other girl he was competing with, standing there waiting for them, 'She made it to Rank A before me?' He thought deeply surprised, and Ning Ruo smiled at him when she saw him.

"Looks like you finally arrived. That was faster than I thought it would be, I expected nothing less from a genius like you." She said with a smile, surprising Tang Yin a little.

"Well, if you came back, does that mean you got there before me?" Tang Yin asked in surprise.

'Is it even possible to do it that fast?' He thought in shock. He didn't want to believe that he had lost to her, 'Are my eyes confused, is she that strong?' He thought in shock.

She noticed his thoughts, so she smiled and shook her head.

"Impossible, you think I'm some unparalleled genius? I'm not that good. I'm just an ordinary disciple who will soon be just another inner disciple in the bunch." She replied smiling and then made it as if she had remembered something, "Oh, well, but I'm really not as simple as might be implied in my words." She spoke.

Tang Yin felt slightly stunned to hear her say this, and thought 'What on earth is this strange person planning?' As he stared at her.

"Why aren't you as simple as you say? It's not good to contradict yourself." Tang Yin said, and she smiled and returned the gaze steadily.

"Indeed, I will soon be just another inner disciple of the bunch, I will never reach as high as Miss Wu in alchemy or Miss Jia in cultivation. But I'll soon have a greater background than them and in the end that's more important in the cultivation world." She said smiling as she took out a small white paper with some things written on it and a small bloodstain and passed it to Tang Yin.

"I have lost my bet and since I have lost it, I will keep my promise." She said with a smile while also showing her current rank, which was still B Rank. This left Tang Yin in deep shock.

'Blood sign to become my servant? Is this girl really serious about this?' He thought in shock as he looked at the paper she had passed to him and read its contents. Not only the contents, he could see that, from the small drop of blood on the paper, there was a slight spiritual energy coming out that connected with this girl.

This confirmed that she had been the one who signed this contract.

Only a small drop of his blood was needed for the blood contract to work and from that moment on, she would be totally tied to Tang Yin.

A blood contract also binds souls, so she will always be bound to Tang Yin and must do what he says over what she wants.

For the weak or untalented, making a contract with someone powerful or very talented is what they would most want to do because they will always receive the protection of that powerful person.

While for the strong... The benefits are obvious.

Having a person who will do anything for you is something of great importance and will bring more benefits than misfortunes.

Even so, at present, Tang Yin and this girl are not far apart in cultivation, they don't even know each other, so why does she want to become his servant?

'What motivates her? What does she want to do? Is she a spy? It wouldn't be impossible. If that little family sent her to be my spy and bind herself to me to later hurt me with her death... It wouldn't be impossible for it to be the case, but...' Tang Yin frowned at this point and recalled her words from a moment ago.

'Will her background be bigger than theirs? Is she referring to me?' He thought in shock, he was very confused at the moment.

But...

'Heh, shit, whatever it is. I don't need to know anything else; do they think my divine soul is that weak? If they sent her to spy on me, so be it. They can never know anything about me and she'll understand once I sign this with my blood.' Tang Yin thought, and after a moment's hesitation, he stared at her.

"Girl, are you sure about this?" he asked, and she smiled back as she nodded calmly and naturally.

Her eyes looked as clear as water. She didn't have the slightest evil intent in her heart nor did any evil thoughts pass through her mind.

"I lost, my parents taught me that when I lose, I must make good on the bets I place." She replied as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Although her eyes revealed nothing, Tang Yin could understand that she was up to something. But he wouldn't worry about this.

"If it's your decision, then I won't reject it. But I'm telling you before I sign this, once I do, there will be no turning back." He replied, and she nodded.

"I know." She replied.

Tang Yin looked at her for a moment and nodded.

"Good." He said as he slightly cut his finger and dropped a small drop of blood on that small paper...

Just as the drop of blood touched the paper, it lit up with a small spiritual array created from Tang Yin's blood...
