With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Qin Yi's sword strike was powerful and heavy, and its effect was obvious.

The guy ranked fourth on the Earthly Ranking, codenamed "Ruthless Sword," was practically swatted flat like a fly.

His body, which was hurtling backward, was about to crash into a rockery in the backyard.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of holy light swept out, engulfing the waist and abdomen of the "Ruthless Sword" and bringing him back to the arena.

The holy light was a ribbon that immediately loosened from the waist of the 'Ruthless Sword'.

The owner of the ribbon was a woman. She immediately looked at Qin Yi with a smile on her face and said, "Young Master Sword Overlord's power is truly domineering. No wonder Young Master Dragon values ​​him so much!"

This woman had just greeted Qin Yi. Her code name was "Xiaoxiao," and she was ranked 516th on the Heavenly Ranking, with a cultivation level of the fifth level of the Great Saint Realm.

She is also a crucial figure among the helpers that "Hao Shuai" is looking for.

She has a beautiful face and a very alluring figure.

But whether it was a man or a woman, Qin Yi had no idea.

Within the Heavenly Ranking Space, unless the genders of the women vying for the popularity ranking have been confirmed by the Ma and Zhang families, the others... cannot be taken seriously.

In reality, he might be a disheveled, unkempt, rough man, but here he can transform into a gentle, charming little enchantress.

Qin Yi looked at the woman and said, "My skills are nothing more than lowly tricks in front of Miss Xiaoxiao. I'm just making a fool of myself."

The others in the room looked at Qin Yi again, their expressions varying.

With the ability to defeat the "Ruthless Sword" with a single sword strike, he was undoubtedly strong enough to become the leader among the five top talents on the Earth Ranking.

Hao Shuai walked between Qin Yi and Ruthless Sword. He looked at Ruthless Sword and said, "Brother Sword Master, although you are only tenth on the Earth Ranking, ranking does not completely represent strength."

"If it weren't for my request, he should have already been able to enter the top three of the Earth Ranking some time ago."

The expression on 'Ruthless Sword''s' face was rather awkward. He could only cup his hands and say, "Brother Rulong, I was blind."

Then, he looked at Qin Yi, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Sword Master, you are very strong. I am completely convinced. I will follow your lead in the next operation!"

Qin Yi smiled faintly and said, "I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely help Brother Hao gain an advantage in the upcoming competition."

Hao Shuai smiled and invited Qin Yi and Wuqing Jian to sit down. He then returned to the main seat and chatted happily with everyone present.

Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity and asked, "Young Master Ru Long, your competition with Ma Shang is about to begin, but we don't even know the rules of the competition yet."

"Let's get down to business now, so everyone can be prepared."

Then several other people chimed in.

Qin Yi's eyes flickered. Since everyone was calling Hao Shuai by his real name, he decided that he would stop calling him Brother Hao Shuai from now on.

It's a bit awkward, after all.

Ma Rulong laughed and said, "It's not that I didn't want to tell you all in advance, but I just received the scroll that records the rules a quarter of an hour ago."

"To be honest, I'm curious too, since I haven't even opened the scroll yet."

As he spoke, Ma Rulong raised his hand, and a scroll flew out of his storage ring. He opened the scroll and carefully read the competition rules.

After reading it, Hao Shuai put away the scroll, his gaze swept over everyone present, and then he said, "This competition between me and Ma Shang is divided into three stages."

"In the first round, both sides will send their ranked teams to compete for a token."

"The side that obtains the token first will start the second stage immediately, while the other side can only start the second stage one hour later."

"For the second challenge, Ma Shang and I will not participate. The teams from the Heavenly Ranking will hunt down the Flowing Light Flying Eagle in a secret realm."

"After collecting all one hundred of the Radiant Flying Eagle's demon cores, they immediately brought the demon cores out and handed them over to me."

"At that time, I will lead ten people to deliver the tokens obtained from the first trial and the one hundred Radiant Flying Eagles obtained from the second trial to the hands of our Ma family's Grand Elder."

"Whoever delivers the tokens for these two trials to our Ma family's Grand Elder first will be the victor!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

"Rest assured, Young Master Rulong, I will do my utmost!"

"It is my honor to serve Young Master Rulong!"

"I believe that ultimate victory will belong to Prince Rulong!"

Everyone spoke up in turn.

Ma Rulong said, "I respect you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he boldly downed the divine brew in his cup in one gulp.

Qin Yi and the others also drank their wine in one gulp.

"Then let's set off for the location of the first checkpoint," Ma Rulong said.

……

After a while.

The group arrived at a huge square.

In the square stands a towering mountain!

The height of this mountain seems unpredictable.

The token for the first level is located at the mountaintop.

A large crowd had gathered around the square.

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and his expression became slightly strange, because he actually spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

It was Qin Bingyan from the main branch of the Qin family.

Qin Bingyan did not change her appearance; she looked exactly the same as in real life. She was with several other women, clearly there to watch the spectacle.

In this Heavenly Ranking Space, there are indeed many people who will not change their appearance.

Especially those who come from powerful families.

Because people with powerful backgrounds can enjoy many advantages simply by virtue of their status.

Although the Qin family's main branch has declined, that's only relative. Looking at the entire Heavenly Realm, there aren't many forces that dare to challenge the Qin family's main branch.

The reason Qin Yi was able to spot Qin Bingyan at a glance was mainly because... a woman beside Qin Bingyan attracted the attention of countless people.

The woman wore a white dress that trailed on the ground, her figure tall, slender, and graceful with exquisite curves.

Her long, black hair cascaded down to her shoulders, and her features were exquisite and flawless.

She exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura, radiating a mystical charm.

Ma Rulong smiled faintly and said, "Brother Jianba, that woman is the number one on the popularity list in the Heavenly Ranking Space, named Liu Ruyan."

"Her appearance and temperament have been verified by the Tianbang Space and are no different from those in reality."

"Some time ago, a large number of wealthy young men gave her gifts worth more than ten million divine crystals in a single day in order to help her win the top spot on the popularity chart."

"Qin Zhen, the one from the second branch of the Qin family in the Heavenly Court who possesses the Overlord Body, also personally entered the Heavenly Ranking Space and gave Liu Ruyan a gift of 2.5 million divine crystals in one go, just to invite Liu Ruyan to meet him in private."

"Of course, Qin Zhen was rejected."

Qin Yi: "..."

He knew that although people like Qin Zhen were already beyond the scope of the Heavenly Ranking, they could still enter the Heavenly Ranking Space.

They simply cannot participate in the various trials within the Heavenly Ranking Space, but they can enter to trade some resources.

In addition, Qin Yi now knows that the Heavenly Ranking Space actually has a higher-level area, named the Divine Path Space, which is only open to divine-level cultivators.

Moreover, the Divine Realm is not open to everyone; it is by invitation only.

Only those who receive invitations from the Ma and Zhang families are qualified to enter the Divine Path Space.

Upon hearing Ma Rulong's words, Qin Yi was filled with mixed emotions. He had previously heard that the beauties on the popularity list in the Heavenly Ranking Space could easily earn a large amount of divine crystals.

Now he knows just how outrageous it was.

In just one day, Liu Ruyan earned tens of millions of divine crystals. Even if she had to share half with the Ma and Zhang families, it would still amount to several million divine crystals.

It's truly unbelievable that a woman who doesn't even have god-level cultivation possesses such abilities.

Even those forces with considerable influence in the Celestial Realm probably can't match the speed at which Liu Ruyan earns divine crystals.

This also indirectly confirms a saying.

The word "sex" has a knife on its head!

This knife is specifically for slaying lecherous men!

Just then.

Qin Yi suddenly felt a connection, a bond originating from the depths of his bloodline.

His expression changed drastically, but he quickly returned to normal and looked in the direction he had sensed.

A burly young man, along with a group of young men and women, flew towards them.

Qin Yi stared at the burly young man, a fleeting, chilling glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Because this person is none other than Qin Xiong, the fourth son of the Qin family of the Great Wilderness, the one who stole the origin of Qin Yi's symbiotic dragon soul bloodline!
