Chapter 3806 - Lan Yu Shan Attacks

In the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, although the rewards for those ranked at the 31st place to the 100th place were the same, the higher one ranked, the better one’s reputation would be. Hence, they would naturally strive for a higher ranking.

As for those ranked in the top 30, their rewards differed according to their ranks. The top 10 participants would be rewarded with at least a Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill, which could help an advanced King of Gods become a rudimentary Lord of Gods.

When Hou Qing Ning saw those ranked from the 31st place to the 100th place doing everything they could to rank higher despite being given the same reward, he said, “It seems like they’re quite smart.”

Ding Yan said, “That’s only natural. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to come this far. After all, with a better ranking, they might be able to become disciples of Black Dragon Elders.”

“What about Golden Dragon Elders?” Hou Qing Ning asked curiously.

“Impossible,” Ding Yan said as he shook his head, “There aren’t many Golden Dragon Elders in the Sect. Their status in the sect is like supreme elders of lord-rank forces. Golden Dragon Elders won’t even bother to look at those ranked below the top 10, let alone those ranked below the top 30. Perhaps, only those ranked in the top 10 have a chance of catching their eye.”

It was only normal that Ding Yan knew about such things in the Flying Dragon Sect. White Dragon Elders and Black Dragon Elders did not have the highest status in the Flying Dragon Sect. The Golden Dragon Elders were the top powerhouses in the Flying Dragon Sect, and their numbers were few. All of them were powerful advanced Lords of Gods and were even stronger than the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. How could the White Dragon Elders and Black Dragon Elders compare to them?

In the Flying Dragon Sect, the strongest powerhouses in descending order were the Golden Dragon Elders, the sect leader, the vice sect leaders, the Black Dragon Elders, and the White Dragon Elders. However, there were a few Black Dragon Elders who were comparable to the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leaders of the Flying Dragon Sect.

‘Golden Dragon Elder…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he silently listened to Ding Yan and Hou Qing Ning’s conversation. Previously, he had heard the Golden Dragon Elders were on the brink of becoming an Emperor of Gods and some were already comparable to Emperors of Gods.

…

In just a blink of an eye, another day had passed.

The top 30 participants would finally be determined. There would be 15 matches, and the matches would be arranged by the ten inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect just like before.

Ding Yan was called to fight before Duan Ling Tian and finally lost Murong Luo Feng, a lineal disciple of the Murong Clan and Murong Yin Yue’s cousin. Before he entered the battle ring, she had told him that it would be impossible for him to win her cousin, and she was right.

Although Murong Luo Feng’s bloodline power was not as powerful as Ding Yan’s, his cultivation base as an advanced King of Gods was higher than Ding Yan, and his comprehension of the law was on par with Ding Yan.

With these factors, Ding Yan was unsurprised that he lost to Murong Luo Feng, especially due to the difference in their cultivation bases. After all, as talented as Ding Yang was, he was younger than 3,000 years old and was just a rudimentary King of Gods. In comparison, Murong Luo Feng was almost 10,000 years old and was an advanced King of Gods.

For this reason, Ding Yan knew he would rank at the bottom of the top 30 at most.

At the same time, Hua Tian Du managed to defeat his opponent within 10 moves while Lady Seven managed to defeat her opponent within 20 moves. However, this did not necessarily mean that Lady Seven was weaker than Hua Tian Du.

Based on Duan Ling Tian’s observation, he thought that Lady Seven would be able to easily rank in the top 20 with her strength while Hua Tian Du would rank within the top 25.

‘The Ouyang Clan’s Ouyang Jian Chen and the First Winter Sect’s Ji Wu Chang have also won their respective matches…’

It did not take long before the winners of the ten matches were decided. The winners were all extraordinary, but some were stronger than the others. Since there were only ten battle rings and 15 matches, there were still another 5 matches to go.

The ranking after the 15 matches would also be temporary since those ranked below the 15th place would be given a chance to challenge those in the top 15. Similar to before, those who failed their challenge would be punished.

Among the five matches, there were two highly-anticipated matches, and one of them was Duan Ling Tian’s match. There was no one who did not know Duan Ling Tian among the spectators, and he was the crowd’s favorite to rank in the top 3 of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. Moreover, he was not even 3,000 years old, but he managed to easily rank in the top 30. Although Ding Yan, who was also younger than 3,000 years old, was very talented, Duan Ling Tian, who was even more talented, easily overshadowed Ding Yan.

Some people among the crowd whispered among themselves, feeling sorry for Ding Yan whose limelight had been stolen by Duan Ling Tian.

Although Ding Yan could hear those people’s words, he did not take them to heart. After all, he had no intention of comparing himself to Duan Ling Tian whose talent was just heaven-defying.

At this time, Hou Qing Ning asked with a smile, “Ding Yan, how many moves do you think it’d take for Duan Ling Tian to defeat his opponent this time?”

Although Duan Ling Tian did not fight too many matches, he was ranked in the top 30 by the inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect before this. This was something they rarely did. Due to Duan Ling Tian’s performance and the ten inner elders’ evaluation, not many people dared to challenge him.

“Duan Ling Tian’s opponent is from the Demon Sect. He’s the sect leader’s last disciple and one of the sect’s most outstanding prodigies. If he doesn’t have any secret tricks or weapons up his sleeve, Duan Ling Tian should be able to defeat him within10 moves. Otherwise, he might be able to hold on a little longer,” Ding Yan said. He was clearly very confident about Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

Ding Yan’s words were overheard by a few Demon Sect’s disciples, and their expressions darkened immediately.

At the same time, a tall and burly middle-aged man sneered before he said frostily, “How dare you two losers talk about my disciple?”

The middle-aged man was none other than Sha Zheng Hu, the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect.

“Your disciple will soon become a loser like us,” Ding Yan retorted immediately. Unlike Hou Qing Ning, who was intimidated by Sha Zheng Hu, he was naturally unafraid of a mere sect leader of a lord-rank force.

Hou Qing Ning gave Ding Yan a thumbs-up immediately. He thought that Ding Yan’s response was rather cool. For a moment, he felt rather sad that he did not have the support of a Black Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Since Ding Yan’s uncle was given the title of a Black Dragon Elder as soon as he joined the Flying Dragon Sect, it meant that he must be as strong as the other Black Dragon Elders at least. This also meant he was at least an intermediate Lord of Gods. How could a rudimentary Lord of Gods like Sha Zheng Hu compare to him?

“Brat, do you have a death wish?!” Sha Zheng Hu was furious when he heard the provocative words from the young man in front of him. His eyes flashed with killing intent immediately.

Bang!

A loud bang rang in the air as soon as Sha Zheng Hu’s voice fell. It was so loud that the participants in the ten battle rings momentarily stopped what they were doing to look over.

Everyone saw Sha Zheng Hu being sent flying a few hundred meters back in the sky before he finally managed to regain his footing.

Following that, the voice of Lan Yu Shan, a Black Dragon Elder, echoed in the air. He was also the one who had attacked Sha Zheng Hu.

“This is just a warning. If I hear another threat against our Flying Dragon Sect’s disciples, I’ll kill whoever it is without any hesitation.”

An expression of fear appeared on Sha Zheng Hu’s face immediately. He regretted acting so recklessly when he finally recalled the young man he had attacked was a Flying Dragon Sect’s disciple.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian’s opponent exclaimed, “Master!”

Duan Ling Tian’s opponent was a red-clad young man. His expression changed drastically when he saw his master, Sha Zheng Hu, being attacked. Nonetheless, he naturally did not dare to show his dissatisfaction in front of Lan Yu Shan. In the end, he could only look at Duan Ling Tian and said frostily, “Duan Ling Tian, it seems like your friends are very confident about your strength. I really want to see how you’re going to defeat me!”
