Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 136 Rules
"Truly miraculous!"

Ji Fuyou observed the Heavenly Ranking in the spiritual world.

This contraption he imagined could not only keep time, but it also...

It can even transmit information!?
How on earth did that?!

"Buzz!"

The Heavenly Ranking not only projected the trial locations, but also, for the first time, projected trial information.

Numerous monsters roam the temple!

You will receive a varying number of points for each enemy you defeat!

The trial ends when you advance all the way and slay the Fertile High Priest in the temple!

At that time, the top 108 people with the highest scores on the leaderboard will be recorded and will receive rewards!
And among these rules, there is one that will make people's expressions change drastically the most...

Killing a trial participant will grant you all the points accumulated on that participant.

Upon seeing this news, Ji Fuyou's gaze immediately fell upon Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, Xiao Hanxue, and others.

And these people also looked towards them.

This rule puts a tremendous strain on the mutual trust between people!

"Unexpectedly..."

"Are these rules designed to make us kill each other?!"

"Is the standard for ending the trial to kill that so-called Lord of the Temple of Fertile Land? What if someone breaks in now and kills that monster? Wouldn't the trial end immediately?"

At that moment, a commotion arose from the side.

However, everyone else had already seen the information conveyed by the Heavenly Rankings visualized in their minds.

Some quick-thinking individuals immediately became wary of others.

"Crash!"

Just then, a strange noise came from the depths of the mist.

"careful!"

Yang Kaitai shouted in a low voice, "There's a strange beast... it's... a blood bat!?"

When the blood bats were mentioned, his expression became noticeably stranger.

The Blood Bat's stats range from 20 to 25, averaging only around 22...

Let alone the martial artists at least at the highest level in the arena, even a team composed of a deputy high-level squad could be easily surrounded and killed.

Is the monster really that weak?

"Could it be that the Huanglong Cave is connected to the Fengwo Temple? And are the monsters in the Fengwo Temple the same as the skeleton monsters in the Huanglong Cave?"

This thought crossed the minds of everyone in the team.

The next moment, dozens, hundreds, even thousands of blood bats densely packed into Ji Fuyou's senses.

Even if the individual blood bats are relatively weak, their sheer numbers make up a massive swarm...

"It's so spacious here, like being in a grand hall tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide! My spiritual sense can't even reach the end of the hall... Without any cover, fighting these blood bats is too difficult. We need to find somewhere to hide!"

At Yang Kaitai's command, they quickly chose a direction and rushed off.

I believe in you! Let's act together!

Fang Qiyun whispered to Ji Fuyou.

Ji Fuyou didn't say anything, he just said, "Let's go!"

The group quickly evacuated.

Soon, the massive swarm of bats had invaded everyone's ranks.

Ji Fuyou wielded two Zhenhai spears.

Relying on his keen spiritual perception, the moment one of the blood bats swooped down, he suddenly thrust out the Zhenhai Spear in his hand.

This thrust was as swift as lightning.

A streak of light seemed to flash across the void.

Even though the blood bat sensed the danger, it didn't have time to change its shape before its head was smashed by the spear.

As he killed the blood bat, Fang Qiyun's spear also pierced through.

Dan Jin erupted.

It is vigorous, penetrating, and perfectly rounded.

The blood bats that swooped down were also shattered by a single shot.

However, there were too many blood bats around. As soon as one died, another would pounce and kill it. It was impossible to kill them all.

In particular, many blood bats emitted sharp screechs that, while not piercing, caused a sharp pain in everyone's brains, making those who attacked them feel irritated and confused.

In this situation, screams could be heard from the crowd, indicating that casualties had occurred.

There's a door ahead!

Just then, Yang Kaitai, whose mental strength was already the highest among all the people, suddenly spoke up.

"Let's go over there first!"

As Xiao Hanxue spoke, she half-squatted down, and the next moment, she shot into the mist like a cannonball.

The vertical leap exceeded twenty meters.

She encountered three blood bats along the way, and they were all killed by her collision.

This……

It was clearly a combat technique.

It's somewhat like the true form of a hegemon dominating the world.

However, its skill is clearly designed for burst acceleration, unlike the Overlord's True Form which charges around recklessly.

After Xiao Hanxue forcefully created a passage, Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, and Guan Yue quickly followed.

The four elements worked together seamlessly.

The blood bats swarming down from all sides did not affect their running at all.

But at that moment, a large swarm of blood bats attacked.

Upon noticing this, Ji Fuyou immediately accelerated and broke through before the blood bats could completely surround him.

However, Fang Qiyun's perception was clearly inferior to Ji Fuyou's. He was delayed by a blood bat that pounced on him and was in the process of being surrounded by the group of blood bats.

"Ji Fuyou!"

Yang Kaitai, who had already rushed to the door, called out.

"You go first!"

Ji Fuyou shouted, then turned around and charged at the blood bats surrounding Fang Qiyun with his gun.

Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, Guan Yue, and Liu Yiren, who had already arrived at the door, exchanged a glance, then turned around and headed towards Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun.

"You guys?" This scene surprised Ji Fuyou.

"We said we would team up if possible, so we should keep our word and support each other."

Yang Kaitai said with a smile.

"That's right, we're teammates now, how can we abandon our teammates when we encounter danger?"

Xiao Hanxue chuckled as well.

The four rushed in, unleashing a barrage of secret techniques, spear skills, sword skills, and axe skills, instantly scattering the strange beasts surrounding Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun.

At that moment, the six of them formed a formation and pushed forward again toward the goal.

Fang Qiyun, who had been rescued, let out a slight sigh: "I'm sorry, my strength is too poor, I dragged the team down."

"No, your skills are not bad. It's just that we're used to working together and didn't take you into consideration for a moment, which led to a miscoupling."

As Yang Kaitai spoke, he added, "Even without us, with your and Ji Fuyou's strength, it won't take long for you to fight your way out of these blood bat swarms."

Ji Fuyou did not deny this.

These blood bats were no match for the two of them.

and……

They told Yang Kaitai they wanted to form a team, but because they didn't have enough time to train together, the six of them split into two teams, and it seemed like they were playing their own games.

Do not!
It can't even be described as being divided into two teams anymore.

Instead, there are three teams.

Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, Liu Yiren, and Guan Yue formed one team, while Fang Qiyun and Ji Fuyou each formed one team.

Soon, the six people had crossed the gate.

Strangely, after crossing the gate, the blood bats did not give chase.

As if possessing a sense of territory, they dared not enter the world beyond the gate.

Although they didn't understand why, they quickly moved away from the magnificent hall.

After walking another hundred meters or so, Yang Kaitai said, "I didn't understand what the Trial Grounds were all about before. I was worried that my teammates weren't strong enough and might sacrifice themselves in vain. If I had known that we would all be together after being teleported in through the mist, I should have called our whole team over."

He remarked with some emotion, "Many hands make light work. If we had a hundred or eight thousand people, we could have wiped them out completely. We wouldn't have had to be forced to flee everywhere."

Xiao Hanxue and Guan Yue nodded in deep agreement.

"Contemplate the celestial rankings in your spiritual world, and the rankings will appear."

At this moment, Liu Yiren spoke.

As soon as she finished speaking, the others also focused their attention on sensing her words.

They soon discovered that the Heavenly Ranking actually listed a total of 108 rankings.

However, since the rankings have just begun, the one currently in first place is not any of Xiao Jiuge, Fengyulou, He Qilin, or anyone else.

It was a person named Luo Suyu.

"I've heard of him. He's from the Luo family of Haizhou. He's not bad in spirit or physique, and his reputation in Haizhou is no less than that of Miss Xiao."

Fang Qiyun said.

"The key point is not the ranking, but the points. Take a closer look."

Liu Yiren reminded her.

After a moment of focused attention, everyone quickly realized that everyone's score was divisible by 5.

With a little more calculation...

They quickly realized something was wrong.

"One blood bat earns 25 points... Luo Suyu, who is first on the leaderboard, has 525 points. She killed 21 blood bats? Hmm, 550 points, that's 22!"

As Liu Yiren continued, she added, "Based on this, it can be inferred that the first wave of monsters encountered by everyone at the first location they entered were blood bats."

"But in the main hall we were in, there were only 21 people around us?"

Yang Kaitai also guessed what it was.

"So, this temple is huge! Extremely huge!"

Liu Yiren said heavily, "To build such a super-large temple... what astonishing manpower and resources would be needed!? Could this be accomplished by relying on a strange beast like the Blood Bat?"

"The Temple of Fertility, judging from the name, should be a temple dedicated to the god of fertility. And those who worship gods are naturally intelligent beings, intelligent races, and given that they were able to build such a massive temple..."

Yang Kaitai's expression was stern: "Everyone, be alert and on guard!"

As he spoke, he said to Ji Fuyou, "Let's hurry up and practice our tactics?"

"It's too late to start training and integration now."

Ji Fuyou said in a deep voice, "Let's cooperate like this for now. When we encounter monsters, we'll be responsible for holding off one or a group of them, leaving one for you to kill quickly. After you kill it, you can come and assist us."

"You are a mental ability user and a high-level martial artist, best at finding opportunities in battle, and possess sufficient explosive power..."

Yang Kaitai pondered for a moment and said, "We'll face the monster head-on, and you can seize the opportunity to strike and deliver the final blow."

Ji Fuyou glanced at him.

Let him be in charge of the decisive blow...

This will undoubtedly lead to his score being too high.

This is considered a relatively profitable position.

Of course, he, who was responsible for the final blow, also had to guard against the monster's last-ditch counterattack, so the danger was not low.

"also."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

Almost as soon as the group finished their discussion, Yang Kaitai, whose mental strength had exceeded 24, immediately sensed something was wrong.

"A monster is coming... not blood bats! Be on guard!"

"Three heads!"

Ji Fuyou added, "It seems there are also tactical formations!"

"These monsters are so fast, their blood and qi are surging, they look much more ferocious than blood bats, their physiques are probably approaching 30!? Guan Yue, Xiao Hanxue, Fang Qiyun!"

Yang Kaitai gave the order immediately.

The three of them immediately stepped forward.

Liu Yiren then quickly began to boost the morale of the three of them.

Before the three could even raise their fighting spirit to its peak, the sound of a rushing attack could be heard.

Immediately afterwards, three monsters, each two and a half meters tall, with sheep-shaped heads, but walking upright like humans, burst out of the mist.

It looks like...

It bears a striking resemblance to the demonic figures depicted in movies and television.
