“What did you say?”

“You naive child, how dare you be so arrogant!”

“I had long heard that your arrogance knows no bounds. Just because you scraped into the top rank by luck, do you really think you’re a genius?”

“You might be a little tyrant in the Barbaric Lands of the Earth Spirit Realm, but here, you’re nothing!”

The disciples instantly exploded with anger. Although their cultivation levels varied, they were all elites without exception, and being belittled like this was a first for them. They intended to teach this naive child a bloody lesson.

“Enough talk. I can’t stand this any longer. Today, I must vent this frustration on behalf of my fellow brothers and sisters. I, Zhao Si, challenge you. Let me see what it’s like to hold the number one ranking!”

A disciple stepped forward and said coldly.

“Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Senior Brother Zhao, please sit this one out. Let your junior handle it instead.”

Another cultivator immediately halted his action, looking just as furious.

“Damn it, these two are too quick with their mouths!”

The remaining disciples cursed inwardly, annoyed that they had been beaten to the punch by these two.

What, to vent frustration for the brothers and sisters?

Isn’t it just about wanting to be the first to challenge Li Xiaobai for the top spot on the ranking?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Why pretend it’s so noble?

“A mere pig daring to compare himself to our disciples. Being able to exchange hands with them is already your honor; don’t cause unnecessary trouble and get to the real business!” The elders’ expressions were cold, and they had already sentenced their opponent to death in their hearts. After squeezing out the last bit of value from him, they would let his corpse rot in the wilderness.

“Li Xiaobai, think carefully. Among the disciples present, some are the geniuses on the Human Immortal Ranking List, and Zhao Si is even ranked number seventy. If you retract your earlier words, this old man can pretend he didn’t hear them.”

Elder Ouyang’s expression also darkened as he addressed Li Xiaobai with a grave tone, his arrogant demeanor making him feel displeased.

“Rank seventy and you dare stand before me?”

“Having your Senior Brother here might be somewhat interesting, but as for you, just wait on the side.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand dismissively, looking very disdainful.

“You…”

The geniuses were furious and wanted to say more, but suddenly, a loud thunderous noise filled the hall.

Light flickered in the void and a white ranking list descended from the sky, presenting before everyone’s eyes. It listed the strong names on the Human Immortal Ranking List, and at the same time, loud, long cries emanated from the list, exuding an air of looking down on the world.

“Human Immortal Ranking number seven: Wu Mengyao, issues a challenge to Li Xiaobai, requesting the opening of the Starry Sky Battlefield!”

“Human Immortal Ranking number fifteen: Guan Yue, issues a challenge to Li Xiaobai, requesting the opening of the Starry Sky Battlefield!”

“Human Immortal Ranking number seventeen: Yue Yao, issues a challenge to Li Xiaobai, requesting the opening of the Starry Sky Battlefield!”

“Human Immortal Ranking number twenty: Xi Yue, issues a challenge to Li Xiaobai, requesting the opening of the Starry Sky Battlefield!”

“Human Immortal Ranking number twenty-six: Wu Zhong, issues a challenge to Li Xiaobai, requesting the opening of the Starry Sky Battlefield!”

…

The challenging voices echoed in the Sect Master Hall, ferocious and deafening, causing many disciples’ faces to turn slightly pale.

The challengers appeared to have coordinated to challenge the on-the-top Liu Xiaobai simultaneously, and while one or two challengers might not be remarkable, the presence of no less than ten challengers appearing at the same time was a shock they had never seen before.

Not just the disciples, even the elders were caught breathless; they too had never witnessed such a scene. To say they had seen or even heard of it would be a lie, and there had never been so many challengers simultaneously issuing challenges, even during the previous unrivaled domination of the rankings.

The fact that such a fantastic scenario was unfolding inside the Sword Sect Hall right in front of the elders and disciples, could this be a dream?

“Sect Master, it’s fine for me to accept the challenges here, right?”

Li Xiaobai, ignoring the astonished gazes of the elders and disciples, looked up at the youth on the high seat and asked.

“It’s fine, let the elders see your strength for themselves.”

The youth nodded, still displaying an expression as tranquil as an ancient well.

“Hehe, then let us proceed that way, slaughter them all. Aren’t you aiming for the ranking list? Once all the experts are dead, you’ll have your chance to get on the list,” he said.

Li Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed with a greenish glow as he licked his lips and scanned the disciples beside him.

Having faced Zhang Kuang, he had understood that to loot resources from the challengers, he must suppress his opponents decisively before they could surrender.

If it were someone else, this would be nearly impossible, but for Li Xiaobai, it was all too simple.

“Battle!”

“We’ll start with Wu Mengyao, ranked seventh!”

…

A list filled with challengers’ names turned into a streak of flowing light, creating a starry sky battlefield in the center of the grand hall, a spherical space floating in the void.

In front of Li Xiaobai appeared a figure in light red attire with a jade belt around her waist, highlighting her perfect curves, tough and upright, making her appear spirited and valiant.

“Holy shit, he actually took on the challenge!”

“Am I seeing things? That’s Wu Mengyao, the Immortal ranked seventh!”

“Has he lost his mind? These beings are intentionally suppressing their cultivation level to maximize the capacity of their Dantian Immortal Yuan before breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm. They’ve literally reached the end of the line in the Human Immortal Realm. This guy actually dares to challenge her; doesn’t he know what ‘death’ means?”

“Perhaps he accepted the challenge for the sake of his reputation. Losing to someone ranked seventh wouldn’t be too shameful.”

“Foolish!”

The talents from the Sword Sect stirred, the Immortal close at hand in the starry sky battlefield gave them a sensation of being in a dream.

“Sect Master, there won’t be a problem, right?” Elder Sun asked quietly from the high platform.

“There will be no issues. He’s proving himself by strength to be number one. Today is a good day for him to demonstrate his power and deter all around. After this, I can begin organizing the work for the Elders and core disciples,” the Sect Master said, tapping the armrest of his chair lightly, quite confident in Li Xiaobai, an emerging star more promising than those brought back from the Great Flame Dynasty, hugely beneficial for the cultivation of the Sword Sect.

Starry Sky Battlefield.

On the platform.

Wu Mengyao was the first to speak, her bell-like voice echoing through the hall, capturing the minds of many disciples: “Are you Li Xiaobai? Are you the one who defeated Zhang Kuang?”

“Yes, that’s me,” Li Xiaobai nodded.

“Looking at the disciples and Elders here, it seems we’re not in the two northern continents of the west. My Southern Continent doesn’t have such sects; this must be a sect from the Eastern Continent,” she said.

“It seems that an unrivaled genius has risen on the Eastern Continent as well. The path moving forward just got more exciting,” Wu Mengyao said, scanning the surroundings and nodding, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Li Xiaobai was speechless. How could these prodigies recognize at a glance that he was from the Eastern Continent? Was it really that easy to guess?

“Enough talk. Come fight, and let me witness the strength that could defeat Zhang Kuang,” Wu Mengyao declared, her eyes blazing as she stomped on the platform. Instantly the universe of stars vanished, and the whole platform transformed into a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers, a Great Divine Power similar to that of the Sea Clan, altering the surroundings into an arena best suited for her own battle.

“Good.”

Li Xiaobai pulled a gourd from his bosom and lightly tapped it under her puzzled gaze: “If I call you, dare you respond?”

Wu Mengyao: “???”

Without warning, the light pink figure was swept into the gourd and disappeared, the world of birdsong and flowers collapsed, revealing once more the starry sky battlefield.

The disciples: “???”

The Elders: “???”

The young Sect Master: “???”
