460. Chapter 460 I'll Finish You Off with a Slap
"My ranking is only sixty-nine!"
In the end, the power ranking of the Sword Testing Stone came out, and Lin Yun ranked sixty-ninth.
Regardless of talent, this ranking is normal. After all, those in front of Lin Yun are all core disciples of the fifth level of Feitian Realm, or are the best among the core disciples. Those like the cold-blooded master are not considered to be number one.
These core disciples spend most of their time practicing in seclusion, and usually hide themselves deeply.
As for talent ranking, it is useless. Talent represents more about future development potential.
But what is needed in the ruins of the Holy War is the actual strength now.
Therefore, when Yu Wenhao wanted to enter this time, the sect leader did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of other disciples and gave nearly one-third of the quota to those who had been around for a longer time in the sixth level of Feitian Realm.
The strongest among them is an elite elder who is over two hundred years old.
Practitioners who reach the Transcendent Realm can live up to three hundred years old, and those who enter the Feitian Realm can live even longer. Two hundred years old in the Feitian Realm is the prime of life.
Only when such elite elders enter the ruins of the Holy War can they be more protective of Yu Wenhao.
Of course, other sects also have such strong men entering.
Therefore, entering the jihadist ruins is a great opportunity for everyone. But it is also a huge risk, and you may become the target of others' hunting at any time.
If you want to get greater opportunities in the ruins of the Holy War, you must survive long enough.
The only way to survive long enough is your own strength.
In order to allow more powerful people to enter, fair selection must be conducted.
"This time, there are one hundred and two places. Sister Luzhu and I, Shen Dao, and Yu Wenhao have taken four. The supreme elder of the sect's induction realm has found one for his great-grandson, and the great elder has also found one for him. My grandson seeks one!”
"Great Elder! Is this old guy sending his grandson to die?" Lin Yun sneered when Su Xiaoyu said this.
"Don't worry about him! He's just rubbish. His strength is far inferior to that of Yu Wenhao. He'll be dead if he touches your hands."
"Yes! What's the point of being angry with him! Sister, go on."
"Of the remaining ninety-six places, thirty-two are given to those in the sixth level of Feitian Realm. Basically, these people serve Yu Wenhao!"
"There are still sixty-four that you are competing for. Those whose strength rankings were too weak on the Sword Trial Stone will be eliminated directly. There are still one thousand and twenty-four people left, all with a strength level of gold or above. They will enter the four-round single-elimination competition. Sixty-four people were decided.”
"Lin Yun! Are you sure? If not, I will ask dad to ask the sect for one for you."
"No need! I know it's difficult for your father to do it with the sect master! I don't need to be special. What's more, the ranking of the Sword Testing Stone is just a ranking of strength."
"True strength requires not only strong strength, but also the support of strong martial arts and the ability to understand combat."
"I believe that after combining these three aspects, my strength ranking can be higher!"
"Yeah! I think so too! I'm optimistic about you! You can't fail, I want you to be a bodyguard!"
"Sister! You're relying on me!"
"I'm relying on you! Don't even think about running away! Humph! You said you would give in to me in the future, so that means I am relying on you."
"Ah! Sister! This reason is so far-fetched!" Lin Yun was shocked.
"I don't care! I'm just so unreasonable!" Su Xiaoyu said with a sly smile.
"Get ready. The trial is only one day tomorrow. You have to show your best! Uncle Cheng is watching outside! Just relax!"
"Thank you sister!"
"Okay! I'm leaving!"
After Su Xiaoyu explained, she left.
Lin Yun still used the Phoenix Vein Stone to set up an alchemy formation to improve his strength. As for the elixir, he would not use it for the time being until he got the fifth-grade elixir recipe.
However, using the method of alchemy to absorb star power for practice does not have the side effects of taking elixirs.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, Lin Yun and Su Xiaoyu came to the Zongmen Square where the selection competition was held.
Sixty-four arenas were set up in the square, surrounded by a sea of people.
Lin Yun is in the 60th arena.
There are sixteen people in each ring, and only one person can get the final spot.
Lin Yun's strongest opponent in this group is Chu Feng, who ranks 60th in the Sword Testing Stone, and is also a good user of the epee.
Then there is Qianye Feng, who is ranked 134, and is also a certain threat. After all, in the ranking of sword test stones, the gap between 30th and 150th is very small.
For everyone else, forget it.
"Lin Yun! Work hard and I'll watch you over there!"
Su Xiaoyu went over and watched the battle with her parents.
Lin Yun squeezed into the ring number 60 where he was.
There were fifteen other people around the ring, and when they saw Lin Yun, they all had angry faces.
Here, we are all opponents, and no one will be polite to others.
Lin Yun also saw an acquaintance.
Hao Ying!
Lin Yun's first opponent was Hao Ying, whose strength level was only weak among the gold level.
"Lin Yun! This time, you don't have those heretical things. Let's see how you can beat me!"
Hao Ying suddenly shouted to Lin Yun that he was always brooding about his failure last time, and he still felt that Lin Yun might have cheated in his ranking.
So, this is an opportunity for him.
Because, not only can the elixir and other things not be used here, but also one's own weapons and equipment are not usable. They are all swords provided by the sect. It is impossible to use the advantage of weapons!
"Hao Ying! Don't be arrogant! I will beat you with a slap in a moment!" Lin Yun sneered, sat down in his seat, closed his eyes and rested, and ignored Hao Ying again.
Soon, the official competition began.
There was no need for someone to host, the battles had been arranged long ago, and they just had to go on stage in the corresponding order!
Lin Yun was the seventh to appear in the first round.
The first round was basically very fast, because the difference in strength was a bit large.
It was only half an hour before it was Lin Yun's turn to go on stage.
Lin Yun and Hao Ying entered the ring at the same time.
"Clang!"
Hao Ying drew out his sword, pointed at Lin Yun and shouted: "Lin Yun! I will expose your true colors soon."
"Okay! Come and fight!"
Lin Yun laughed: "If you can hit me, I will lose."
"Lin Yun! This is what you said, don't deny it if you lose!"
Hao Ying thrust his sword towards Lin Yun, and the endless sword energy surged towards Lin Yun like a raging sea tide.
As long as a trace of sword energy touches Lin Yun, according to Lin Yun, Lin Yun will lose.
Lin Yun smiled slightly, did not draw his sword, but slapped him.
"Bang!"
This slap dissipated the sword energy that Hao Ying rushed to.
Then, the slap hit Hao Ying's face.
Then, Hao Ying flew away.
"Hao Ying, the fourth-ranked elite disciple, couldn't even withstand a slap." People who were watching this battle exclaimed.
Lin Yun, however, never looked at the embarrassed Hao Ying again, and he closed his eyes and rested after leaving the ring.
Hao Ying's face was red, he got up, lowered his head, and slipped away from the crowd.
In the next round, Lin Yun defeated his opponent easily with just one sword.
In the third round, Lin Yun met Qianye Feng.
