Dragon and Phoenix Ranking was the symbol of the most outstanding disciple in the Seven Annihilations Sect Inner Court Disciple. All the disciples of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, regardless if it was their cultivation, methods, martial skills, fate soul, or spirit treasures, they were all chosen from the hundreds, or even from the thousands of miles away. Although they both belonged to the inner sect disciples, the inner sect disciples on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking had three to five times, or even ten times more cultivation resources than the other inner sect disciples.
There was a huge relationship between a person's cultivation resources and strength. The more resources a person had, the greater the chances of his strength rising. One could even view the cultivation resources a person possessed as a type of strength. Furthermore, after becoming a Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, not only would there be more resources allocated for cultivation, there would also be more opportunities to raise one's cultivation.
The higher one's ranking in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking s, the more they would receive the attention of the sect elders and even the sect master. It had to be known that these Elders had cultivated for countless years and gone through countless life and death battles to reach their current level. His cultivation and battle experience were definitely a huge fortune.
On the other hand, Tang Ao's goal for breaking through the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking was much simpler. He was the reincarnation of the Demon Lord. His cultivation and battle experience were far beyond those of these elders. The reason he was participating in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking this time was because he had heard from the Fifth Elder that the top five Dragon and Phoenix Ranking would represent the Seven Killing Sect in a secret realm trial.
It was said that this was a secret realm that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years and had only recently been discovered by the various sects. That piece of secret realm was a world of its own, but there was something special about this area. At most, it could only be allowed for The Origin Martial realm s to enter. Those who had exceeded the The Origin Martial realm would be blocked by the most outer formations of the dimensional realm. When they had discovered this secret realm, a warrior who was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm had tried to break into the secret realm. However, he was killed by an array outside the secret realm.
Today was the sixth day of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking Arena, and was also the penultimate day of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking Challenge Tournament. The Seven Killing Sect's annual Dragon and Phoenix Ranking arena would be held continuously for seven days, allowing many inner disciples to fully display their strength. It was up to the elders to fully observe which disciples had great potential and were worthy of the sect's great effort.
After these few days of competition, Tang Ao, the public enemy of the inner sect, could be considered to have a bit of a reputation. In the past few days, including Ma Liangchen and Xiao Gudao, he had almost beaten every warrior who ranked below twenty. Currently, Tang Ao was ranked at twenty. As a result, many disciples who hated this public enemy of theirs to the core would not casually come to cause trouble for Tang Ao.
But there would always be a lot of blind people, and not far away, there were six figures watching Tang Ao. The person in the lead was a youth with malicious eyes. This person was dressed in red and was extremely eye-catching within the crowd. But because he had been training outside the sect all year round, he rarely showed his face in the inner sect. Thus, even though most inner court disciples could feel his strong aura, but they were unable to recognize who he was.
However, the people in the top ten of Dragon and Phoenix Ranking definitely recognized him, because this was the person who was currently ranked second, Ouyang Duan.
"Third Young Master, are you prepared to attack him directly?"
"That shouldn't be necessary, he's just trash, a twenty year old Dragon and Phoenix Ranking."
"There's no need for Third Young Master to do anything. I'll go over and beat him half to death."
"Hey, have you forgotten? The third young master wants him dead, not half dead."
Ouyang Duan sneered, "I just returned to the sect this morning. During the time I wasn't here, did anything happen?"
Ouyang Duan was never a reckless person, so he relied on his status as the third young master of the Ouyang family to achieve his current achievements. Different from Xiao Gudao who was the eldest son of the Xiao Family, as long as Ouyang Duan was willing, he could return to the Ouyang Family at any time and inherit the position of Patriarch. But Ouyang Duan was waiting, waiting for those two idiots in the clan to fight to the point where both of them were injured before he returned.
Hearing Ouyang Duan's question, the people behind him immediately became interested.
"The most important thing is that the elusive Jing Wushang has appeared in the arena two days ago."
"Jing Wushang is only a defeated opponent of the third young master. I think that the first thing that should happen to him should be Fang Xiuling, one of the three brothers of the Fang family who had awakened the twenty-first heaven, right?"
Hearing that, the rest, including Ouyang Duan, looked at him. Because the information he gave was too shocking, normally, when warriors were below the Spirit Sea Realm, the fate soul of their Twenty Layered Heavens would be their shackles. Amongst all of the known methods, there was no other way that a warrior below the Spirit Sea Realm could awaken a Fate Soul with a Twenty Layered Heavens above that level.
"Is that true? How do you know that? " Ouyang Duan stared at the man and asked. Amongst the top ten Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, although he was ranked second, there were still three people who were his greatest enemies. There was naturally no need to mention the first ranker of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking s. The other two people were Fang Xiuling, who was ranked ninth, and Jiang Zhuliu, who was ranked tenth.
If not for the fact that the two of them had met him and Dong Xuanye in the competition for the top ten in Dragon and Phoenix Ranking s, they would have been eliminated early. With these two's methods, they definitely had the ability to make it into the top three. But now, Fang Xiuling had actually awakened a twenty-one layered heavens Herba Clematis, which was a great threat to him.
The reason he went out to train today was to find a way to defeat Dong Xuanye. After many life and death battles, he had explored many secret realms, and had also killed many people that he should or should not have killed. He had barely managed to awaken one of the fate souls of the Twenty Layered Heavens, but he didn't expect that the secretive Fang Xiuling would actually awaken one of the twenty-first heaven's fate souls.
"In reply to the third young master, this is absolutely true. For some reason, the three brothers of the Fang family started fighting in an empty area in the inner court. I saw clearly at the side, that Fang Xiuling had summoned the Herba Clematis during the battle. Furthermore, Fang Xiuwu, who is ranked seventh on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking s list, obtained eighteen fate souls from the thirteen fate souls. "
"There's no need to talk about Fang Xiuwu, he's just a piece of trash who couldn't even take ten moves from Third Young Master last time."
"What, it seems like you can last ten moves against the third young master. I think you won't be able to take even one hit from the third young master. "
"Heh heh, you're right about that. It's my honor to be defeated by the third young master in one move." A third young master like you is not willing to fight you. "
While the few people behind him were arguing, Ouyang Duan was thinking about what the man had just said. A year had passed, and he still did not know how much Dong Xuanye had grown, but he had to be his enemy. Fang Xiuling had awakened a Herba Clematis of the twenty-first heaven, an existence that could not be ignored. As for the Jiang Zhuliu who was barely able to tie with him in the beginning.
If he had not made significant progress in this year, he would only need to pay a little attention to it. , who had awakened eighteen fate souls, found this a little interesting. Fang Xiuwu's cultivation technique was special, he needed eighteen fate souls to be able to unleash its true power. Now that he had awakened eighteen fate souls, his strength should have increased significantly.
