The rest area was just a short distance away, and not far from this Heavenly Ranking Stone.
However, just as the two of them arrived at the rest area, suddenly there was a commotion in the distance.
From a great distance Lin Ran could hear Mai Yang’s voice!
“Kid! You really dare to come to Xue Cheng, believe it or not, I’ll make you come back without a return!”
Lin Ran and Li Ba were both stunned at his words and couldn’t help but look towards the distance, followed by the sight of Mai Yang’s figure and the large group of men beside him!
“Boss!”
Seeing Mai Yang, Li Bajie couldn’t help but frown slightly and busily spoke, as if he was afraid that the former knew himself and Lin Ran!
Lin Ran, however, waved his hand and pressed on Li Baba, saying.
“Don’t be nervous, I’ve collected my breath, he won’t find out!”
Only then did Li Baba nodded at his words.
Li Ba had never exposed himself in front of Mai Yang, even Master Fang and the others only knew Lin Ran’s aura at first, but not Li Ba’s at all!
So as long as the two were on guard against that Master Fang, there would be almost no one in this Xue City to recognise them!
The two men looked in the direction of Mai Yang and soon saw a youth with a hat and a bland face!
Although the sword was wrapped, Lin Ran could feel the harsh sword intent from the exposed hilt!
Clearly this guy was very good with a sword!
“That kid looks pretty cool!”
Li Ba said as he watched, the swordsman with the long sword on his back did look a bit cool!
“Doesn’t that guy look similar to one of the names on the Heavenly Ranking Stone to you?”
Lin Ran, however, frowned and said.
“You mean the one in second place, the Fuyu Swordsman?”
Li Ba sniffed, indeed this person’s image was very similar to that Bu Er Swordsman.
Seemingly to confirm the two men’s suspicions, no sooner had the words left their mouths than Mai Yang’s voice came from ahead.
“Laozi is talking to you again! Can’t understand human language? You’re a mute swordsman, I think!”
That Bu Er Swordsman heard this but his face remained bland, seemingly not even defending Mai Yang in his eyes, and said blandly.
“If you want to fight, then fight, otherwise don’t bark at that dog!”
Lin Ran could not help but have a little more admiration in his eyes at his words, this Bu Er Swordsman was so crisp and clear, he didn’t even want to say more nonsense!
Mai Yang was instantly enraged at his words and pointed at the other party.
“You really F**king think that I don’t dare to kill you don’t you! This is Mai ….. Xue City!”
“Laozi’s turf! Believe it or not, I’ll get you killed and no one will care!”
Mai Yang shouted.
However, Bu Er Swordsman was smiling blandly and said.
“Then you’re still talking nonsense, why don’t you do it!”
“Seeking death!”
Seeing his opponent ignoring him so much, Mai Yang was instantly enraged, yet just as his palm was raised, he was instantly stopped by a somewhat hunchbacked youth on the side!
“Brother Mai, you mustn’t do anything, or you’ll fall into the path of this kid!”
“Why?”
Mai Yang asked in a cold voice, very upset in his heart!
“Brother Mai, have you forgotten? This Xue family has rules, if you do it privately on the selection day you will be directly disqualified from competing for a spot!”
The hunchbacked youth was busy saying.
Mai Yang couldn’t help but frown slightly at his words and coldly snorted.
“Humph! It’s the Xue family again, how many more years can his Xue family be arrogant in Mai City! Sooner or later, it will have to be replaced by our Selling Family!”
As he spoke, Mai Yang unconsciously referred to Xue Cheng as Mai Cheng, and deep down he had actually taken Xue Cheng as their Mai family!
“Count your brat lucky, you better not be eliminated in the first round, or else that would be too much of a beauty!”
Mai Yang sneered and whirled around before leading the men back to their positions!
Lin Ran and Li Ba saw this and couldn’t help but shake their heads, Li Ba said.
“This kid Mai Yang is so unbeatable, if it wasn’t for the fact that his family is in Xue Cheng I’d have to give him a good beating!”
“Don’t worry, someone will clean him up sooner or later!”
Lin Ran laughed and patted Li Ba without saying more!
Ten minutes pa*sed quickly, and as an old voice rang out, the crowd’s eyes couldn’t help but look over.
“Gentlemen! The registration time has ended, the first level of the selection will then officially begin!”
Said the old man’s voice once again, without any delay, saying.
“In accordance with the order of the previous registration, ten people at a time will directly begin the breakthrough of the Heaven Ascension Ranking!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
As soon as the old man’s voice fell, there were instantly a full ten figures in the crowd rushing out to seek.
Amongst them were Mai Yang and the hunched youth, as well as the Buji Swordsman!
Lin Ran and Li Ba watched quietly, Lin Ran’s registration was rather backward, so I was afraid that he would have to wait for a while before it was his turn!
But at this point, Lin Ran was really curious to see both Mai Yang and the Imperious Swordsman going up at the same time!
A group of ten people soon arrived at the Heavenly Ranking Stone, and it seemed that Mai Yang and the Imperious Swordsman had discussed the matter, but neither of them had made a move!
Instead, it was the other eight men who simultaneously slapped their palms on the Heavenly Ranking Stone!
As they slapped their palms down, everyone instantly saw clearly that their names were rising rapidly on the Heavenly Ranking Stone, quickly taking up the top eight spots!
It wasn’t that they were the strongest eight, but that the others hadn’t played yet, and the final ranking would have to wait until all of them had played before they could be completely ranked!
“Hey hey! Boss, look! The one in first place is actually which Gou Mou!”
Li Ba laughed as if he had discovered a new continent.
Lin Ran looked up and saw that the one in first place was really the one called Gou Mou!
Turning his head towards the Heavenly Ranking Stone, Lin Ran immediately noticed that the hunchbacked youth standing next to Mai Yang was full of smugness!
“Could this guy be Gou Mou? That’s too fitting, Mai Yang’s doggy!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh.
And as he was speaking, Mai Yang and Bu Er Swordsman suddenly struck out at the same time, only to hear “Bang Bang”
The next moment, their names shot up from the ninth and tenth places towards the top of the list!
Mai Yang and Bu Er Swordsman had been first and second when they signed up, and after the slap, they had actually moved back up to the top two!
And the order hadn’t even changed, it was still Mai Yang first and Bu Er Jian Ke second!
Seeing this result, Lin Ran couldn’t help but frown slightly as he said softly.
“That Mai Yang doesn’t seem to be useless, but just in terms of the strength of his true qi, he is even stronger than that Bu Er Swordsman!”
Li Ba smiled at his words but laughed.
“What’s the use of having strong true qi, not throwing it in front of you boss is that you can’t even go one round!”
That day when Lin Ran was being chased by Grandmaster Fang, but a single punch lifted the rest of Mai Yang Pole’s men backwards, this strength already didn’t know how much stronger than Mai Yang!
“It can’t be helped, the most important thing about this first level of the Ascension Ranking is that it starts to test the strength of the cultivator!”
“But the first hundred people who are almost capable can still get in, if they can’t even get into the first hundred, then there’s really no need for the later competitions!”
Lin Ran said.
And at this moment, in front of the Heavenly Ranking Stone, Mai Yang was glancing at Bu Er Swordsman with a smug look on his face and sneered!
“You’re no better than that! Rubbish! You better not let me run into you when we get to the second level later, or you won’t be able to walk out of Xue City alive today!”
