The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1442 - 1443: The Challenge of the Earth Ranking Disciples

"Don’t think that the Clan Leader really wants to take you as a disciple. Not even Wang Luo Sha has the qualification for the two Clan Leaders to take him as a disciple. You? What a joke."

Xiang Qiu’s words were completely unrestrained. Originally, his success in challenging Wang Luo Sha was his most glorious moment, but at that moment it was ruined by Ye Mo, making his anger towards Ye Mo almost reach its peak.

In fact, the look he gave Ye Mo was filled with extreme anger, and he almost couldn’t resist rushing forward to kill Ye Mo directly.

"Xiang Qiu, in front of Junior Brother Ye Xiao, you’re just a clown. The two Clan Leaders didn’t take Junior Brother Ye Xiao as a disciple not because they made a mistake, but because Junior Brother Ye Xiao refused their offer to be taken as a disciple."

Qin Yong said lightly.

"Haha, Qin Yong, it seems your brain is still not working well."

Xiang Qiu laughed, and even some disciples around started to mock, refusing the offer from the two Clan Leaders, it’s simply absurd.

The two Clan Leaders have never taken a disciple, even Wang Luo Sha, who has topped the Heavenly Rankings for over a decade, was only recommended to a Supreme Elder by Zhou Tianmo. Now this Qin Yong claims Ye Mo refused the two Clan Leaders’ offer, isn’t it laughable? Unless Ye Mo is an idiot.

"Brother Qin Yong, let’s go. If a mad dog wants to bite you, will you bite back?"

Ye Mo shrugged, turned with Qin Yong to leave, ignoring Xiang Qiu and the others’ expressions.

"You’ll regret this later!"

Xiang Qiu said, turning to leave as well.

"Xiang Qiu, no need to say more to such people, teach him a lesson in the Heavenly Rankings Tournament."

Yan Lingfeng allowed Xiang Qiu to hold her fragrant shoulder.

"What if he dares not challenge me?"

This is Xiang Qiu’s biggest worry. If Ye Mo doesn’t dare to challenge him, he won’t be able to teach Ye Mo a lesson in the Heavenly Rankings Tournament.

"Isn’t that simple? Even if Ye Xiao doesn’t dare to challenge you, he will certainly challenge a disciple from the Heavenly Rankings. Then you just let that Heavenly Rankings disciple lose to him intentionally. Once he enters the Heavenly Rankings, you can challenge him directly. Although you are nominally the first in the Heavenly Rankings, in reality, you are ranked nineteenth."

Yan Lingfeng said with a smile.

"Lingfeng, I didn’t expect your brain to be so clever. Once I become the Great Celestial Son today, I definitely won’t treat you badly."

Xiang Qiu said, not forgetting to give Yan Lingfeng’s fragrant cheek a touch, causing her to give him a flirtatious glance.

While Xiang Qiu and Yan Lingfeng were chatting, with the sound of a long bell chime, the Heavenly Rankings Tournament officially began.

All the disciples sitting in the viewing stands had faces full of excitement and anticipation.

"Dear disciples, the annual Heavenly Rankings Tournament is about to start. In this tournament, apart from re-ranking the top twenty of the Heavenly Rankings, the top twelve disciples will also become Twelve Emperors, granted Elder status, and the first in the Heavenly Rankings will become the Great Celestial Son and obtain the Netherworld Fan Flame."

Zhou Tianmo’s announcement caused many on the Heavenly Rankings to rub their fists eagerly, especially Xiang Qiu, whose inner self was roaring in anticipation as the tournament he’s long awaited finally arrived.

With enthusiastic applause, the first round began, where the top three disciples of the Earth Rankings challenged the Heavenly Rankings disciples.

Ye Mo looked around but still couldn’t spot Dantai Zanglian, growing anxious, since Dantai Zanglian hadn’t appeared yet.

"Junior Brother Ye Xiao, I’m going first!"

Qin Yong said, jumping straight into the arena.

"I’m Qin Yong, the first of the Earth Rankings, now challenging Heavenly Rankings disciple Zhang Tao!"

Qin Yong announced loudly.

Zhang Tao was a Heavenly Rankings disciple, though without a rank, he had a personal grudge with Qin Yong, so Qin Yong directly named Zhang Tao for the challenge.

Two months ago, Qin Yong had already advanced to Divine Venerable Six Souls, where an ordinary Divine Venerable Six Souls couldn’t withstand even three moves from Qin Yong.

As soon as Qin Yong finished speaking, a burly man jumped down from the stands, unmistakably the Heavenly Rankings disciple Zhang Tao, also with Divine Venerable Six Souls strength.

Ye Mo watched the arena. Qin Yong and Zhang Tao had already begun fighting, and within a few breaths of time, Qin Yong gained a slight advantage over Zhang Tao.

Bam!

With his Invincible Battle Body, Qin Yong punched Zhang Tao and sent him flying.

Earth Rankings’ first, Qin Yong successfully challenged Zhang Tao, becoming a Heavenly Rankings disciple.

The scene immediately erupted into warm applause, with many guessing that Qin Yong had the potential to be one of the Twelve Emperors.

After Qin Yong’s challenge, Dantai Zanglian finally arrived at the scene, and to Ye Mo’s surprise, Dantai Zanglian had actually advanced to Divine Venerable Six Souls.

In two months, from Divine Venerable Five Souls advancing to Divine Venerable Six Souls, was truly incredible.

"Earth Rankings second disciple, Dantai Zanglian, prepared to challenge Heavenly Rankings second, Ouyang Rihua!"

As Dantai Zanglian’s words fell, it caused a huge uproar. An Earth Rankings second disciple daring to challenge Heavenly Rankings second Ouyang Rihua.

It’s known that Ouyang Rihua hasn’t reached Divine Venerable Seven Souls, but he has a nickname, called Divine Venerable Middle Stage Invincible, meaning he doesn’t have any competitors at the Divine Venerable Middle Stage. Earning this nickname through numerous duels, he’s held the second place in the Heavenly Rankings for over twenty years, and some speculate that if Ouyang Rihua advances to Divine Venerable Seven Souls, he could definitely become the first in the Heavenly Rankings.

Dantai Zanglian, very well-known among Earth Rankings disciples, but less so in the Heavenly Rankings, surprised many by challenging Ouyang Rihua.

Ye Mo watched the scene, arms crossed, showing minimal emotional reaction. Dantai Zanglian killed a Divine Venerable Six Souls with a Divine Venerable Four Souls, an impressive talent much stronger than Qin Yong’s. Now she’s advanced to Divine Venerable Six Souls, perhaps Elder Mengxin has provided her with several advantages; challenging Ouyang Rihua might not be a lost cause.

Then, a defiant-looking man appeared in the fighting arena.

"Ouyang Rihua!"

The man nodded towards Dantai Zanglian, sharing his name.

"Dantai Zanglian, looking forward to your guidance!"

Dantai Zanglian also scrutinized Ouyang Rihua, slightly furrowing her brows upon sensing the power fluctuations from him.

Actually, challenging Ouyang Rihua wasn’t her intention, but Mengxin’s, as one of Mengxin’s assessments, saying that if she defeated Ouyang Rihua, she could become her successor.

A disciple and a successor are different. A Martial Artist can take countless disciples in their lifetime, but only one successor.

Being a successor is about inheriting one’s teachings.

Since Elder Mengxin valued Dantai Zanglian so highly, Dantai Zanglian naturally wouldn’t disappoint her.

"No need for guidance, you can’t defeat me."

Ouyang Rihua’s expression remained flat, as if no opponent could stir his emotions. Having faced countless challenges, every opponent left defeated, while no Divine Venerable Middle Stage Martial Artist posed any threat.

"Don’t be too certain in your words!"

Dantai Zanglian’s eyes sharpened, a punch unleashed countless flower petals. The petals fluttered, hazy and ghostly, launching at Ouyang Rihua from indeterminable directions.
