Chapter 536 - The Counterattack Begins!

It was not that because Xiao Chen was squeezed out of the list and that was why so many people mocked him. It was that he led the freshmen to not hand over the Mystic Stone on the first day, but also challenged Bai Ling, and even won. Wasn’t this embarrassing to them senior disciples? How could a newcomer be so headstrong like this?

However, Beigong Qin was different. Although Beigong Qin was the king among the newcomers, he never provoked the senior disciples because he knew that some senior disciples were not people he could afford to offend now, while the newcomers had no one to rely on.

Therefore, when he first came here, he handed over the Mystic Stone without saying a word and politely invited the other party to take care of him in the future. He did not say it like Xiao Chen, “Why should I hand it over? Is it stipulated in the Cloud Mist Academy?” Such words which offended the senior disciples.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, maybe people like Beigong Qin were more suited to survive in places like Wastelands.

But then again, the last time Bai Ling beat Xiao Chen, it was not what the senior disciples said—Bai Ling did it for the sake of saving face. This month, Bai Ling rarely came out. Even some female disciples who used to have a good relationship with Bai Ling rarely saw her.

Finally, when they were about to reach the newcomer area in the back mountain, the senior disciples and freshmen gradually walked away, and the sound of the discussion gradually became softer. As usual, Xiao Chen went directly to the fourth district and then sat down to cultivate. It seemed that he rarely talked to others in the past half a month. It seemed that he had become quieter than ever before.

The closer it got to noon, the more restless the disciples of the Cloud Mist Academy became. Finally, at 3:15 p.m., three columns of light from the Mystic Sky Pavilion shot up to the sky. One was purple, one was green, and the other was pale white. They were the three rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Human.

At this moment, many people had rushed over to the Mystic Sky Pavilion. Some of them were already waiting at the teleportation formation. Of course, some of them were going to the Mystic Sky Pavilion to watch the show, and the rest were for the Mystic Stone bet. The last group was to those who were serious about either entering the ranking or keeping the ranking.

Time passed by. On the other side of the Mystic Sky Pavilion, there were three towering pillars of light. The 36th place on the Heaven Ranking List had not changed at all. Baili Xiaohualuo was still in the 36th position. There were some changes below the 10th place on the Earth Ranking, but the Human Ranking had been changing all the time.

In fact, the Human Ranking was the most intense because most people could not enter the Earth Ranking, while the Heaven Ranking List was occupied by the senior disciples. The top 10 of the Earth Ranking was occupied by the senior disciples as well and they were unmovable like mountains. Beigong Qin’s goal this time was to get into the top 10.

Finally, at the end of the day, there was still no change between the top 10 of the Heaven Ranking and the top 10 of the Earth Ranking. In the newcomer area, there were people in the other three districts who could not help but go to the Mystic Sky Pavilion one after another. But there was no movement in the Mystic Sky Pavilion. In other people’s eyes, that was nothing strange because only a few people could even enter the Human Ranking.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. Immediately after, a figure landed on the island of the fourth district. It was Beigong Qin who suddenly appeared. When the disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion saw that person’s arrival, their faces immediately displayed expressions of hatred. Qin Tianyu clenched his teeth and said, “Beigong Qin, this place does not welcome you peeps from the Purple Thunder Pavilion. Get lost!”

“Ha ha.”

Beigong Qin smiled faintly without getting annoyed. He walked to Xiao Chen’s side and said with a faint smile, “Aren’t you going to challenge the Human Ranking? At least you can take first place.”

When the newcomers in the other two districts saw Beigong Qin went to the fourth district to mock them in public, they all looked over. They already knew that the two of them were at loggerheads with each other. Sooner or later, there would be a fight.

However, Xiao Chen still closed his eyes lightly and did not say a word. Even Chu Qi next to him, also pretended that she did not hear him.

“Haha.” Beigong Qin felt snubbed. With a faint smile, he flew toward the teleportation formation with a leap. Before he left, he even deliberately kicked a large amount of sand and stones onto Xiao Chen’s body. However, there seemed to be an invisible layer of True Qi protecting Xiao Chen’s body that blocked those sand and stones outside.

Another hour passed. The competition over at the Mystic Sky Pavilion’s ranking list was getting more and more intense. There was still no movement from the Wind-heeding Pavilion. Many people in the other two areas were whispering. “Looks like he really doesn’t want to even compete for a spot on the Human Ranking. To be honest, he’s better than us in terms of talent. It’s a pity that he ran into Beigong Qin.”

Time passed by. Many people in the Wind-heeding Pavilion finally began to worry. They did not wish for the first district, they just wanted to change to the third district. But if Xiao Chen refused to compete in the rankings, none of them could even enter the Earth Ranking.

Qin Tianyu paced back and forth. One moment he went to the edge of the island to read the list, and then he walked back and forth again. He could not sit still anyway. This time, he finally could not stand it anymore. He walked to Xiao Chen’s side and whispered, “Brother Chen, are you really not going?”

At this time, Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes and looked at him. “Tianyu, sit down.”

“Oh.” Hearing this, Qin Tianyu obediently sat cross-legged in front of him. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder. He then secretly sent some Mystic Power into his body. Qin Tianyu was startled and raised his head. His face was filled with shock. He wanted to say something but immediately covered his mouth.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, “Tianyu, sometimes you are too impatient. Cultivators should not be impetuous. Remember, you should learn from Qianye more.”

Shen Qianye sat cross-legged at the side, his eyes closed, not saying a word. No matter what happened in the outside world, it was as if he would never be disturbed.

Qin Tianyu was happily looking at Shen Qianye. He pointed at Shen Qianye and laughed. “Hahaha! He’s just a dull gourd. I, Qin Tianyu, will become a wind-like man!”

Chu Xuanxuan frowned and said in a soft voice, “Senior Brother Qianye is not a dull gourd. I think you are the one who is chattering all day long. Like… Like…” In the end, she did not know what to use to describe him. Her face turned red as she did not know how to continue.

“Like what? Say it.” Qin Tianyu looked at the blushing Chu Xuanxuan with blinking eyes and deliberately teased her.

“You’re like a monkey! Hahaha!” Xu Ling’er suddenly burst into laughter. “I’ll call you Monkey Qin from now on, hahaha!”

“You’re the monkey, Monkey Xu!” Qin Tianyu immediately retorted.

“How dare you! Come over and apologize to me!”

“Lueluelue…”

“You still dare to lueluelue me? Somebody, take this monkey away and beat him 30 times! Beat his ass until it blooms…”

…

The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. He then looked at Chu Qi and said, “Go and take a look at their rankings.”

“Yes.” Chu Qi walked to the side of the island and opened up the clouds. After a while, she returned and said, “One of them has made it to the 53rd spot on the Earth Ranking.”

“Is it an ordinary list, or did he kicked someone out?”

“It’s on the ordinary list.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. “Very well. Together with Beigong Qin, there should be a total of three people who managed to enter the Earth Ranking. Let’s wait a little longer.”

As for the Mystic Sky Rankings, one could only challenge the kicking list thrice a day, but there was once for the ordinary list. After the ordinary list was carried out, one could not challenge the kicking list again on the same day. That was to say, once the ordinary list was kicked, and then they could only wait for the next day to challenge the list again. Therefore, on the last day of each month, there would be so many people who would guard the list.

After a while, Chu Qi came back and said, “There’s another person who made it to the 57th of the Earth Ranking. They’re both on the ordinary list.”

“Okay…” Xiao Chen’s eyes were getting colder and colder.

After a while, Chu Qi came back and said, “They… Another one. He made it to the 61th on the Earth Ranking.”

Xiao Chen frowned. “Why is there one more?”

“Senior Brother, don’t worry. Leave the 61th on the Earth Ranking to me,” said Chu Qi.

Xiao Chen nodded. At this moment, the newcomer area suddenly burst into an exclamation. On the other side of the Mystic Sky Pavilion, there were three beams of light. The cyan light in the middle of the three beams suddenly increased in intensity. This meant that the rankings of some of the top 36 people were rising sharply.

The person who was rising rapidly was the name of Beigong Qin. From the 27th place to within the top 20, it finally stopped on the 13th place and squeezed the original 13th to 26th place to one rank below.

“Rank 13th!”

No matter if it was the newcomer area, the senior disciples’ area, or the side of the Mystic Sky Pavilion, at this moment, all of them burst into thunderous gasps. A newcomer who had just arrived a month ago actually managed to enter the 13th place of the Earth Ranking! He was ranked among the senior disciples with purple badges!

At this moment, many elders who were paying attention to the Mystic Sky Rankings also suddenly changed their faces. This was far beyond their expectations. Originally, they thought that Beigong Qin could only be ranked 20th at most, but they did not expect that he could get to the 13th! This could be said to be the best disciple in recent years!

Just when everyone was exclaiming, the corner of Xiao Chen’s mouth finally curved into a cold smile. “Then, the game time has begun…”

Chu Qi looked at the youngsters and said indifferently, “Let’s go. To the Mystic Sky Pavilion and take back what was ours.”

Everyone was stunned. Sister Chu Qi actually took the initiative to speak today. Soon, this group of lively young boys and girls understood that Xiao Chen was going to fight for the ranking list. For a moment, cheers burst out.

When the newcomers from the other districts saw that they were cheering and jumping for joy, they were all stunned. “Are they going to fight on the ranking list?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said indifferently, “Let’s go. It’s time for them to pay their debts back.”

At the moment, dozens of young boys and girls led by Qin Tianyu and others cheered and went with Xiao Chen. The rest stayed in the cultivation area and looked at the changes on the list here.

On the way, Xiao Chen saw Shen Qianye keeping silent. He smiled and asked, “Has Qianye reached the Nascent Soul Realm?”

“Yes, thanks to Sister Chu Qi’s advice a few days ago.” Shen Qianye nodded.

“Wow! Senior Brother Qianye has reached the Nascent Soul Realm!”

The girls all cheered. Qin Tianyu humped and said, “What’s so great about that? In the next month, I, Qin Tianyu, will also be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage!”

Half an hour later, they came to the Mystic Sky Pavilion. During this period, the Earth Ranking had basically not changed, and the Heaven Ranking List had not changed at all. Only the Human Ranking kept changing. However, there were more than a thousand people gathered on the island of the Mystic Sky Pavilion.

“You’re here, Junior Brother Xiao.” At the moment, Beigong Qin was surrounded by many people. When he saw Xiao Chen and the others coming, he smiled lightly and said.

“Yes, we are here,” said Chu Qi placidly.

She had never liked to talk, but today, it seemed that this was the second time that she took the initiative to speak.

“Junior Sister Chu Qi has always been a person who doesn’t like to talk. I’m flattered to hear you speak to me today.” Beigong Qin smiled faintly and pushed the crowd aside as he walked over.

“I think you’ll be even more flattered a while later.” Xiao Chen looked at him and said with a faint smile.
