I loaded the innate divine power.

Chapter 92 A Decisive Strike [Please Subscribe]

The goal is to be number one.

No one could shake his resolve on this point.

Of course, with Bai Suzhen as his "reassurance," he was able to truly unleash his full potential and get things done.

He is not afraid of any trouble.

Within the Holy Sect, weakness is the original sin.

Only by continuously growing stronger can we forge a path forward.

Even within the Demonic Sect, there is no absolute peace and tranquility.

If you don't demonstrate value, you may face unexpected disaster at any time.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, several important figures also made their appearance.

Not all ten elders came.

About half of them have arrived.

The arrival of the five elders can be considered a sign of respect for the Dragon Transformation ceremony.

Quite a few genuine teachings have come.

However, not all of them showed up; only about twenty or thirty people attended.

The atmosphere reached its peak!

The Supreme Master did not come in person, but sent a representative, a Vice Master.

"clang!"

The powerful bell rang again, echoing throughout the entire Hualong Assembly Hall.

"Whoosh—!"

A figure descended from the sky and landed on the Dragon Transformation Platform.

The Third Elder was not an ordinary elder of the Holy Sect, but a representative of the pinnacle of the Holy Sect's elders.

Not all of the ten elders had their own factions; some elders were naturally aloof and did not establish their own factions.

The Third Elder was one of them.

The entire dragon transformation arena fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to the Third Elder on the dragon transformation platform.

The Third Elder surveyed the entire audience, and his booming voice rang out: "Today is the day of the new Dragon Transformation Ranking competition, and also the time to select new talents for the Holy Sect. I hope that all participating disciples will give their all and ascend to the Dragon Transformation Ranking. At the same time, I would like to announce the champion's reward for this year's ranking."

"The first place winner will receive a reward of 50,000 contribution points from the Holy Sect!"

"Reward: One superior-grade elixir, the Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill!"

"50,000 contribution points, and one Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill!"

"The awards are the same as in previous years, with no major changes."

Hearing the Third Elder announce the reward, Shen Yi thought to himself.

Fifty thousand contribution points is a considerable reward.

The Holy Sect's 50,000 contribution points are not on the same level as the Zoroastrian Sect's contribution points. The resources that can be exchanged with these 50,000 contribution points are far greater than what the Zoroastrian Sect can obtain with its 300,000 to 400,000 contribution points.

For example, a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill only costs two hundred contribution points.

Even the Hunyuan Pill cultivated by Dan Jin martial artists only costs five hundred contribution points per bottle.

With 50,000 contribution points, you could exchange for a large quantity of Hunyuan Pills.

Ordinary Dan Jin martial arts missions only yield a few hundred or a thousand contribution points.

Twenty thousand contribution points is definitely a huge sum of money.

"In addition, this year's champion will also receive a spot in the Secret Realm!"

The Third Elder's voice rang out again.

"A spot in a secret realm!?"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

"A spot in the secret realm?"

"What kind of reward is this?"

Shen Yi was secretly surprised.

A secret realm—that sounds like a treasure trove.

However, this was the first time Shen Yi had ever heard of the secret realm.

Looking around at the Holy Sect disciples, everyone's face showed excitement.

Shen Yi felt that this spot in the secret realm must be quite attractive.

The prize for winning the championship can't be too bad.

However, Shen Yi had no recollection of this information.

"I'll ask my senior sister after this is over," Shen Yi said, suppressing his distracting thoughts.

Secret realms seem like a pretty good thing.

As for the specifics, you'll only be qualified to know once you've won the top spot.

Otherwise, it would all be for nothing.

"The Dragon Transformation Ranking Competition is now officially open!"

Without a single wasted word, the Third Elder decisively announced the start.

Soon, license plates were handed out one by one.

Today's license plate number is different; Shen Yi's is number eighty-eight.

The license plate numbers were shuffled.

There are two hundred people in total.

Ultimately, only one hundred people can make the list.

One match to decide the winner.

There is no second chance for failure.

The Third Elder's figure disappeared from the Dragon Transformation Platform. An elder stepped onto the platform, holding a register in his hand, and opened the register.

"The first match, numbers 38 and 88!"

"Um?"

"I'm the first one?!"

Hearing his license plate number, Shen Yi was surprised.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and got up to walk towards the Dragon Transformation Platform.

"Number 88, that's the formidable guy from yesterday!"

"Tsk tsk, this is an unlucky first one to face, running into them right at the beginning."

"We're definitely going to lose."

Many people in the audience recognized Shen Yi as he stood on the stage.

After all, in yesterday's battles, Shen Yi defeated his enemies one by one, completely overwhelming them.

It’s hard not to know him.

No one could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop like Shen Yi.

"Hmm? Chen Xuanfeng!"

Shen Yi looked at number 38, and it was none other than Chen Xuanfeng.

They encountered it in the very first match.

Chen Xuanfeng stepped onto the Dragon Transformation Platform, looking at Shen Yi with a grim expression.

He had naturally witnessed Shen Yi's prowess.

I have virtually no chance of winning.

This guy is a monster.

"Senior Brother Shen." Chen Xuanfeng cupped his hands in a fist salute.

"Junior Brother Chen," Shen Yi replied with a smile.

He didn't harbor much malice towards Chen Xuanfeng; Chen Xuanfeng joined the Heaven and Earth Alliance out of necessity.

Not everyone is qualified to confront the Heaven and Earth Alliance head-on.

Those who understand the times are wise!

This is the way of survival for most disciples of the Holy Sect.

They're just from different factions.

Without Bai Suzhen as his powerful backer, he would probably have had a hard time avoiding such a situation.

"Buzz—!"

Chen Xuanfeng took a deep breath, mobilized the energy in his body, and unleashed a violent burst of energy.

"drink-!"

With a low roar, Chen Xuanfeng instantly attacked, his fist carrying powerful energy, tearing through the air as it slammed towards Shen Yi.

"Snap—!"

But just as he reached Chen Xuanfeng, Shen Yi raised his hand and grabbed Chen Xuanfeng's fist.

The shockwave blasted around him, but he remained completely still.

"What!?"

Chen Xuanfeng's pupils shrank. Although he already knew the gap between him and Shen Yi, he never expected the gap to be so large.

One-hit kill punch!

They couldn't even shake Shen Yi.

"Junior Brother Chen, you flatter me."

A faint voice reached my ears, and the next moment, an overwhelming divine power swept over me.

"Bang!"

The terrifying divine power was utterly unstoppable, tearing through his protective aura. Chen Xuanfeng's figure flew off the arena, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

"puff!"

His internal organs seemed to have been completely displaced, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Fortunately, he hadn't passed out yet, so even though he lost, it wasn't a terrible defeat.

He staggered to his feet, looked at Shen Yi on the stage, cupped his hands in greeting, and then turned and left.

"As expected, they're still as devastating as ever. They couldn't even withstand a single blow. With this kind of strength, they could easily break into the top ten!"

"This guy's strength is astonishing. I really don't know what kind of divine skill he has cultivated to have such abnormal strength."

"I heard he cultivated a strange technique, and he has perfected it."

Wow, amazing!

The discussions were incessant.

All eyes fell on Shen Yi.

"This guy is really amazing!"

Baili Chunfeng squinted his eyes.

"Senior brother, are you confident?" Jin Yuan looked at Baili Chunfeng and asked somewhat nervously.

"We'll only know once we try. This guy hasn't revealed his trump card yet, so we don't know for now." Baili Chunfeng shook his head.

"Even he isn't absolutely certain!?"

Upon hearing Baili Chunfeng's words, Jin Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he fell silent.

If even Senior Brother Baili isn't confident, then he might be suppressed.

"It seems that we'll have to resort to some methods when necessary." Jin Yuan touched his sleeve, his expression hardening.

The first match was a victory as expected.

Shen Yi stepped down from the Dragon Transformation Platform and returned to his position.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in their exclusive seats, the elders glanced at Shen Yi, then looked at Bai Suzhen not far away.

Bai Suzhen had a faint smile on her face.

She didn't say anything, but it was clear that she was in a good mood.

"He's a really good talent."

The Sixth Elder stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"His physical body and blood energy are astonishing. Although he is only at the mid-stage of Dan Jin cultivation, his blood energy is probably the strongest among all the disciples present."

"It surpasses the ordinary 'powerful aura,' and is almost approaching the level of 'blood and qi flowing like a river.'"

"It must be related to the martial arts he cultivated. It's rare to see someone with a foundation in supernatural arts achieve such perfection."

"Let's see what happens next. Although the power is amazing, it also depends on the skill level."

Several elders offered their opinions.

Many of the true disciples also turned their gazes toward Shen Yi.

Bai Suzhen's smile widened even more.

Time passed little by little.

Battle after battle ensued rapidly.

In the battle to transform into a dragon, there is no concept of best of three.

One battle will decide the fate of the world!

If you lose, you have no chance.

Therefore, in every battle, the other disciples must give it their all.

The first victory only qualified him for the top 100 of the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

Shen Yi has a third step.

The competition for ranking on the Dragon Transformation Ranking.

The difficulty level increases more than double as you progress.

Around noon, the rankings on the Dragon Transformation List changed.

Some people failed the exam.

Of course, the number is not large, with only about twenty new people making the list.

Most people will fail miserably.

Although they have only stepped onto the Dragon Transformation Ranking, their actual ranking has not yet been finalized.

The further you go, the lower the reward becomes.

However, for an ordinary inner disciple, this is still a good gain.

The rewards for ranking 51st to 100th are generally 3,000 contribution points and a bottle of Hunyuan Pill!

It's much more lucrative than doing ordinary tasks.

The rewards for rankings 31st to 50th will be doubled!

Six thousand contribution points, and two bottles of Hunyuan Pills!

The rewards for rankings 11th to 29th are 10,000 contribution points and three bottles of Hunyuan Pills.

The higher you go, the richer the rewards!

The Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill, ranked first, is far superior to low-grade pills like the Hunyuan Pill.

The chance of success can be increased by 30% by impacting the internal energy.

One hundred candidates were selected, and their license plates were reissued.

The real ranking of the Dragon Transformation List has officially begun.

Ranking competition.

A single victory can significantly improve one's ranking.

Coincidentally, Shen Yi's license plate remained unchanged; the new license plate was still number 88.

Going from 100th to 1st place is not a one-battle feat!

The challenge starts with the 50th to 100th place.

Only then can they break into the top 50!

"The first match, numbers 88 and 100!"

"The first one again."

Shen Yi was quite surprised to hear the presiding elder's announcement.

"Young master, your weapon."

Hongying handed him the Tiger Soul Blade, but Shen Yi shook his head: "No need."

After saying that, he moved swiftly and ascended the Dragon Transformation Platform.

As soon as one figure stepped onto the Dragon Transformation Platform, another figure followed.

A woman in red.

A soft sword is wrapped around his waist!

She had a voluptuous figure and long, fair thighs.

"Junior brother, I hope you will show mercy." The woman in red revealed a charming smile, and the soft sword at her waist instantly fell into her hand, gleaming with a cold light.

"call out-!"

With a single sword strike, countless sword shadows whistled through the air.

The woman in red moved with extreme speed. Wielding a soft, spiritual sword, she unleashed a sword technique, stabbing towards Shen Yi with incredible speed.

"Pfft—!"

A sword pierced his chest.

Shen Yi stood still, looking down at the spirit sword that had pierced through his body.

A joyful smile immediately appeared on the woman in red's face.

But the next instant, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly erupted behind him.

"not good!"

The woman in red suddenly turned around, and her soft sword pierced out with lightning speed.

"Bang!" The sword missed its mark, but a terrifyingly powerful force suddenly surged through his abdomen, causing the illusory core in his dantian to crack.

A surge of immense divine power swept out, and her beautiful body flew directly out of the Dragon Transformation Platform.

It crashed to the ground.

"puff----"

The woman in red coughed up a mouthful of blood, her pretty face turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.

"Senior sister, you flatter me!"

A faint voice reached her ears, and the woman in red spat out another mouthful of blood, her head lolled to the side, and she fainted instantly.

"His movement technique is that amazing!?"

Baili Chunfeng's gaze sharpened as he looked at Shen Yi on the stage.

He thought he had stabbed Shen Yi just now, but it was only a clone.

This martial arts technique has reached an extreme level of realism, making it indistinguishable from the real thing.

This was the first time Shen Yi had displayed his movement techniques.

The perfect Ghostly Shadow Steps are silent and still, creating ghostly clones that are indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Now, it will probably be even more difficult to deal with."

Baili Chunfeng became wary and raised his guard to a higher level.

A formidable rival!

This Shen Yi definitely has the strength to compete for a top ten ranking!

It's not impossible to go even further.

Looking at the unconscious woman in red, Shen Yi's face remained completely expressionless.

He stepped down from the Dragon Transformation Platform.

The first battle was won.

In this battle, their ranking improved significantly.

However, he still has a few tougher battles to fight before he reaches the top spot.

Back in his seat, Shen Yi watched the battles unfold.

His target was the top ten elite inner disciples, but he couldn't discern any hidden trump cards from their battles.

This difference in combat ability is difficult to discern from the surface alone.

The martial arts skills he displayed were only those that were publicly known.

They haven't revealed a single card.

It was hidden exceptionally well.

The possibility of discerning any differences through observation is extremely slim.

They are all a group of hidden masters.

"We'll only know once we actually fight."

Shen Yi thought to himself.

Unable to discern his true intentions, he was helpless.

These talented people from the Holy Sect are incredibly shrewd.

Until they actually fight, you won't see any significant changes.

The battle continues.

After one round, Shen Yi's ranking has advanced to 50th!

The defeated disciples were ranked according to their respective performances.

Of course, this change is not significant.

Because the rewards are all the same.

A new round of battle has begun!

If he wins the first battle, his ranking can advance to twenty-fifth.

Rewards have increased dramatically!

The subsequent battles, in which the twenty-five generals advanced, were decided by drawing lots.

There are available slots for those who are not yet available.

However, this spot didn't change anything for Shen Yi.

As the number one player, he will inevitably have to clash with the strongest disciples; this is unavoidable!
