C66 Outer Sect Ranking

"Teacher, may I ask how is this ranking conducted?"

The elder had just finished speaking when someone stood up and asked loudly.

"Indeed. Teacher, do we need to compete?"

Someone on the side echoed.

Looks like there are plenty of people as interested in contribution points as Lu Feng.

The old man paused for a moment and said, "It seems that you are very concerned about this ranking. Alright, I'll explain it to you in detail."

As mentioned before, the students of our Sky Star Academy are divided into four categories: outer sect, inner sect, core, and Successor Disciple.

Among these four levels, the number of true disciples was the lowest. Currently, there were only four true disciples in the entire sect.

Below that were the core disciples. There weren't many of them, only around twenty people.

There were several hundred inner court disciples.

And the ones with the most numbers are the outer court disciples like you, a total of over 1600 people.

Among the rank 4 disciples, the core disciples and the Successor Disciples were very few in number, so their monthly contribution points distribution was the same.

But because there were too many inner and outer disciples, and also to encourage everyone to train harder, the sect had set up two rankings: the inner and outer disciple rankings.

Every month, the sect would give each disciple a chance to participate in a trial by fire. They would enter the sect's trial tower and carry out challenges, using their results to calculate their ranking.

Of course, you can also give up on this kind of trial, but your ranking won't always be the same. This is because those who are ranked last will still be ranked ahead of you if their results surpass your previous results.

For example, if you were originally ranked first, then you would no longer have to participate in the ranking trial this month. As long as no one surpassed you, you could stay in the first place and enjoy the appropriate treatment.

However, as long as there is someone who has surpassed your previous record, then I'm sorry. Your first place position will belong to someone else, and your ranking will drop accordingly.

Of course, it doesn't mean that after someone overtakes you, the two of you will have to switch positions.

With regards to the tower of trials, the Elders of the sect had spent a great deal of their mana to create a mirror space. After entering the tower, on the first floor, an opponent with the same strength as you would appear.

The second floor would have two equally matched opponents, and so on and so forth. With each step up, there would be one more.

What was worth noting was that the tower of trials had a total of seven floors, and was suitable for disciples below the Xuan level to use.

If their cultivation exceeded the Profound Ranking and they couldn't become core disciples, they would lose their chance to participate in the trial again.

Generally speaking, a disciple who had reached this level already represented that they had no hope of breaking through again. So, they either had to leave the sect, join the management, and become an outer sect elder or manager.

I remind you all that being injured in the tower of trials is different from being truly injured, as it will recover after you leave the tower. This is also to protect the lives of the sect disciples.

The old man gave a general overview of the entire tower of trials.

At this time, someone from below asked loudly, "Teacher, if I pass the first floor, can I choose to give up on entering the second floor?

Also, if there are two people who passed the first floor, then how will their rankings be counted? "

The old man stroked his white beard and said, "Passing the trial naturally depends on a person's talent, strength, as well as their ability to change positions against their enemies.

For example, the question that this disciple had just asked was actually very simple. Several people that had passed a certain stage would give up on challenging the next level and would determine their rankings based on the time they took to pass the next stage. The less time they used, the higher their ranking would be.

Of course, if one failed, was killed, or gave up on their own accord and left the tower of trials, then they would be ranked according to the principle of who had persisted in the tower for a long time and had a better result.

However, he had to remind everyone not to waste too much time in the tower. Although they wouldn't die, it would harm their mental strength to a certain extent. If they accumulated more, they might go crazy, so once they saw that something was off, it was better for them to give up as soon as possible to avoid causing unimaginable damage to themselves.

"In short, it's just a sentence. Whoever passes the test will be ranked higher in terms of time. Those who fail will be ranked higher in terms of time. This is the basic principle."

At this moment, someone asked again, "Teacher, the current record for the tower of trials is which floor, do you have a clear record?"

The old man continued, "The existence of the tower of trials has already existed for over a hundred years. In this period of time, the Heavenly Star Academy has welcomed countless outstanding youths, but so far, there is only one person who has managed to clear seven trials in one go, completing the tower of trials.

As for the current outer sect disciples, the highest record was that they had reached the fifth floor and no one had passed yet.

"Of course, there might be a hidden expert among you who can break through and become the next person to pass. I, as well as the Headmaster and the Elders Guild, are also looking forward to this."

When everyone heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air. The current number one outer sect disciple had only passed the fifth floor, so the difficulty of the tower of trials could be imagined.

Lu Feng's interest towards this tower of trials was quite high. Moreover, Lu Feng was keenly aware that there were a few traps concealed within the old man's words.

According to the old man, the tower of trials was a mirror space, so it was very likely to be a magic treasure. The so-called Mirror Space should be the inner space of the magic treasure, similar to how the interior of the Primal Chaos Bell created its own world.

Secondly, the Mirror Space formed an opponent with the same strength as the challenger. With the same strength, was it referring to the same realm, or was it the same ability? If it was the latter, then this tower was an extremely high grade treasure.

Lastly, if a challenger was killed in the tower, they would not die. Could it be that the person who entered the tower was just a challenger's spiritual sense, and not the challenger himself?

Moreover, the old man said that killing him would consume part of his spiritual power, which meant that his spiritual sense was damaged. Where did this part of his spiritual sense go?

Could it be that he was absorbed by the tower of trials itself?

It looks like I need to find a time to visit the tower of trials.

Lu Feng thought to himself.
