Chapter 3137: Entering the Top 50


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, every grade-six Celestial Mansion had its own base. The ident.i.ty token and Acc.u.mulative Point Jade one carried would only grant one entry to the corresponding base. There was no way for outsiders to enter another mansion’s base. If one tried to enter by force, it would trigger the base’s defensive Formation that was set up by the mansion’s Celestial Lord. Needless to say, it was not a Formation that Ten Directions Celestial Dukes were capable of breaching.


If this group of disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion stayed in their base, it would be impossible for Duan Ling Tian to get to them no matter how strong he was. Alas, they had left the base earlier to watch Duan Ling Tian and Heng Feng’s fight. They were returning to the base after Heng Feng was defeated by Duan Ling Tian. Who knew Duan Ling Tian would bar their way as soon as they turned around.


During the fight earlier, they had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength. Even Heng Feng who had comprehended six profundities from the law of earth was no match for Duan Ling Tian. Most importantly, even after Heng Feng had comprehended the seventh profundity at the crucial moment, Heng Feng was still no match for Duan Ling Tian. They were shocked when they witnessed this earlier. After all, not a single one of them was a match for Heng Feng when Heng Feng had only comprehended six profundities from the law of earth, let alone now that he had comprehended seven profundities from the law of earth. How could they have any intention of going against Duan Ling Tian who was clearly stronger than Heng Feng?


A Martial Battle Mansion disciple knew he would not be able to get past Duan Ling Tian so he easily surrendered. Before he crushed his Acc.u.mulative Point Jade, he could not help but ask, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m willing to surrender my points. If it’s okay, can I ask if you’re really just an outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion?”


The other disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion s.h.i.+fted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian in unison, curious about his answer.


“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.


Upon receiving Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation, some of the disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion could not help but curse out loud.


“Is everyone in the Profound Nether Mansion blind? How can they make someone like you an outer court disciple?”


“Duan Ling Tian, why don’t you leave the Profound Nether Mansion and join our Martial Battle Mansion? My father is the Vice Mansion Master of the Martial Battle Mansion so I’ll ask him to grant you entry into the Martial Battle Mansion! Moreover, I can promise you that once you join our mansion, you’ll become a core disciple of our mansion!” It was clear this disciple was trying to poach Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Nether Mansion.


Upon hearing these words, the other disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes, clearly antic.i.p.ating his answer. After all, if Duan Ling Tian joined the Martial Battle Mansion, they would have another top contender in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm! Apart from that, they would have bragging rights over disciples from other grade-six Celestial Mansions as well.


“I just joined the Profound Nether Mansion a few days ago,” Duan Ling Tian said with a shrug, “Thank you for your offer, but I wouldn’t be leaving the Profound Nether Mansion!”


Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, some of them wanted to persuade Duan Ling Tian. However, they dismissed that idea in the end since they could see the determination in the depths of his eyes. Even if they continued to persuade him, they knew it would only be futile.


Before crus.h.i.+ng the Acc.u.mulative Point Jade in his hand, the son of the Vice Mansion Master of the Martial Battle Mansion murmured wistfully, “The Profound Nether Mansion is really lucky…”


With this, the points in Duan Ling Tian’s Acc.u.mulative Point Jade rose again.


“29 points?” Duan Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised by the points he just obtained. He did not expect this Martial Battle Mansion disciple to have acc.u.mulated nine points. After all, it was not an easy feat to gain nine points for most people.


‘With nine points, he should be ranked on the scoreboard. I remember there were two people with nine points on the scoreboard. One of them is from the Martial Battle Mansion; I think his name is Liu Xiao Zhou?’ Duan Ling Tian recalled the name of the disciple from Martial Battle Mansion who had nine points. Before he entered the middle realm, Liu Xiao Zhou was ranked 78th on the scoreboard, ahead of the other person who had nine points. This meant that Liu Xiao Zhao had obtained nine points first before the other person.


When he regained his senses, he discovered the disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion were looking at him with a bitter smile on their faces.


Even when Duan Ling Tian was distracted, no one tried to escape. None of them dared to draw attention to themselves. Based on the situation, if they did not escape, at most, they would have to surrender their points. It did not matter much to them since most of them were ranked after the 100th place. This meant they would not be rewarded by the Martial Battle Mansion anyway.


All the grade-six Celestial Mansions would reward disciples with good rankings even if it was not an official thing. Even those who ranked after the 20th place would be rewarded. Naturally, those who were ranked in the top 20 would be rewarded greatly and received preferential treatment.


The disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion knew if they tried to escape, they would most likely fail. At that time, they would anger the person in front of them. Who knew if he would kill or injure them? For the sake of their lives, they, naturally, dared not act recklessly. Therefore, they did not put up a fight as they crushed their Acc.u.mulative Point Jades one after another.


With this, Duan Ling Tian’s points increased swiftly to 41 points.


At the same time, the group of Martial Battle Mansion disciples disappeared in front of Duan Ling Tian after they were transported out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.


‘Based on what I remember, 41 points should put me at 45th place!’ Duan Ling Tian remembered the person who was at the 44th place had 50 points while the person formerly at the 45th place had 36 points. With 41 points, he, naturally, took the place of the person with 36 points.


The higher one ranked on the scoreboard of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, the bigger the gap between the points would be. For example, when Duan Ling Tian had six points, he was ranked 93rd. When he had 19 points, he was ranked 52nd. Now that he had 41 points, he was merely ranked 45th. His points had doubled, but he only rose a few places on the scoreboard.


Before entering, Duan Ling Tian was surprised to see the point distribution.


The 50th place was like a line that divided one group from the other. The difference in points among those who ranked in the top 50 had a difference of at least three points even if they were ranked next to each other. On the other hand, those who ranked after the 50th place did not have such a wide gap between their points.


‘Those in the top 50 must have comprehended six profundities from a law and in the process of comprehending the seventh one, at the very least. They could probably be considered as the cream of the crop and should be able to hold their own against most people in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Previously, it would’ve been difficult for Heng Feng to rank in the top 50. However, with his current strength, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to rank in the top 50 next month.’ Although he thought Heng Feng had a good chance of entering the top 50, he was not completely certain. After all, Heng Feng had comprehended the law of earth. Even if Heng Feng had comprehended seven profundities from the law of earth, speed was his shortcoming. This meant that even those who had only comprehended two profundities from the law of wind, with one of them being the Gale Profundity or another movement profundity, should be able to escape from Heng Feng as long as they did not act recklessly.


‘Well, Heng Feng could join forces with another person. The other person doesn’t have to be strong as long as he or she is fast. At that time, his partner could stop others from escaping as he strikes. With this, it’d be easier for him to enter the top 50.’



In the Martial Battle Mansion’s estate.


Similar to the grade-six Profound Nether Mansion, the Martial Battle Mansion had a few Transporting Formations that led to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm as well.


When Heng Feng appeared in the Transportation Formation in a miserable state, he naturally drew the attention of the person in charge.


“Heng Feng, are you injured?”


When the Martial Battle Mansion elders and disciples saw the one-inch-deep wound on his chest, they exclaimed in shock.


Heng Feng comprehended the law of earth. He was known in the Martial Battle Mansion for having the best defenses among those who were below Celestial Kings. How could they not be shocked when they saw him injured and eliminated from the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm? Since he was injured, it was clear to them that someone had managed to breach his defenses.


“Heng Feng, who breached your defenses?” one of the Martial Battle Mansion elders asked in shock, “Was it the Green Spirit Mansion’s Leng Yun You or the Han Qing Mansion’s Liu Ji?” He knew there were not more than thirty Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in various grade-six Celestial Mansions who were capable of breaching Heng Feng’s defenses. Based on the recent changes on the scoreboard, only the Green Spirit Mansion’s Leng Yun You and the Han Qing Mansion’s Liu Ji who were capable of breaching Heng Feng’s defenses were still in the middle realm.


“Neither.” Heng Feng shook his head. At the same time, he looked at the scoreboard and saw a name rose and entered the top 50. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, “It seems like the other didn’t make it back to the base in time.”


Soon enough, another figure appeared in the Transportation Formation, it was the Martial Battle Mansion disciple who had crushed his Acc.u.mulative Point Jade after Heng Feng.


The elder who had spoken to Heng Feng earlier widened his eyes in shock. “Xiao Zhou, w-why are you here as well?”


Meanwhile, Liu Xiao Zhou’s name disappeared from the scoreboard.
