Chapter 180: Advance to the Top Fifty in the Rankings
In the north of the competition space, a red-clothed man sat cross-legged in an upper room of an inn in a large city.
He slowly opened his eyes, took out his dark purple jade tablet, saw a name on the point rankings continuously advancing upwards, and his lips curled up.
“Who is Lou Mu Yan? Never heard of Yan’zhou Kingdom either.” Seeing the name advance into the top hundred, his calm eyes didn’t change much, “A person from a small kingdom advancing up into the top hundred on the first day, interesting.”
Then he held the jade tablet in his hand, closed his eyes and didn’t put too much thought into the point rankings.
Lou Mu Yan’s Flash Step was extremely fast, plus many Demonic Beasts saw her powerful lethality where none of the Demonic Beasts who landed in her hands could escape, so although they were furious, but they were also extremely fearful and didn’t dare to take the initiative to sneak attack.
Seeing that her ranking had already advanced into the top hundred, she slowed down the killing of Demonic Beasts. It was better to keep a low profile on the first day.
All the Crystal Cores of the Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts were wood attributes, which could be used to refine a very useful Elemental Energy Nurturing Pill, so she didn’t let free of herself and kill indiscriminately, but instead specifically searched for Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts to kill.
The Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts around were all Tier 5 and had gained intelligence. Seeing that human woman kill their own kind, they were initially madly angered. They raised their heads and screamed, gathering all the surrounding Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts to attack her.
Yet who would have thought that it was precisely to her heart’s desire. More than ten Advanced-Phase and Peak-Phase Tier 5 Demonic Beasts besieged her, and it was also exhausting for her to use the most primitive attack methods to attack.
Seeing that she was already far away from the city wall, and this area was shrouded in darkness, making it so that the people looking from over there wouldn’t be able to see here clearly, with a thought, a golden longsword flew out from her waist.
She moved her fingers, bombarding the Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts that were biting towards her, while mouthing some words at the same time, then her red lips spit out one word: “Separate.
“Let’s take a look at the power of my Natal Magic Tool today.” Lou Mu Yan said to herself and used her Mental Energy to control her Natal Magic Tool.
The golden longsword hovering in the air instantly scattered into ten small swords, forming a golden cyclone one after another, heading directly towards the Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts besieging her.
[AO!!] Screams rang out one after another.
The golden cyclones were like meat grinders. The Demonic Beasts it passed were slayed one after another, their corpses penetrated by the small swords as it brought out the Crystal Cores to drop into Lou Mu Yan’s hands.
She looked at the force created by her Natal Magic Tool with satisfaction. It wasn’t that she was cruel. These Demonic Beasts were very fierce and ruthless. If she wasn’t careful and was bitten by them, then she’d definitely be ripped apart and devoured.
So she had no sympathy for these Demonic Beasts who took the initiative to attack a human city. What should be killed, she would kill. This was the law of survival for cultivators.
After killing the nearby Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Beasts, she didn’t act again, and instead mobilised her Flash Steps, manoeuvring around within the Beast Tide.
Suddenly, the points on her jade tablet increased sharply, twenty points at once, and then her ranking flew up to sixty-second.
She felt that it seemed like she played a little too big today. It wasn’t good to be so high-profile on the first day. It would be very troublesome if she attracted the attention of the geniuses of the big kingdoms.
“Mo Yan, around enough is good enough, my points have already exceeded my limit, let’s keep a low profile.” Lou Mu Yan telepathically communicated to Mo Yan.
An increase of twenty points definitely must have been obtained from Mo Yan killing a Tier 6 Demonic Beast.
In the Continental Tournament for Hegemony, one could bring their own Spirit Pets to fight, and the battle records of the Spirit Pets would also be counted to their owner. So when Mo Yan killed Demonic Beasts, her points would increase accordingly.
“These two little vermin keep on following me. I’ll come back after killing them.”
Mo Yan’s voice telepathically replied. The corner of Lou Mu Yan’s lips twitched. Seeing that there was only a difference of thirty-nine points between the sixty-second place and fiftieth place, it seemed that it would be impossible to not be in the limelight this time.
Sure enough, not long later, the rankings on the point rankings changed again. Lou Mu Yan increased by forty points, pushing the fiftieth person down, successfully breaking into the top fifty of the rankings.
Some of the leading high-level Demonic Beasts were killed by Mo Yan while the remaining two saw that the situation wasn’t favourable, so they instantly roared a few times, turned, and shot towards the deep mountains in the distance.
At this time, the sky not far away also revealed a trace of white light. The night was about to be replaced by morning light.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes fluctuated, then quickly recalled Mo Yan and Bing Ji, and moved towards the city wall.
When she jumped onto the city wall, the Demonic Beasts below all roared with bloodshot eyes, then finally turned around unwillingly, heading towards the deep mountains in the distance.
The Beast Tide came quickly and left quickly. When the sky was slightly lit up, all the Demonic Beasts below the city had retreated, leaving only piles of Demonic Beast corpses and the smell of blood filling the entire city.
A ray of sunlight broke through the sky and shot down directly, perfectly scattering on the position where Lou Mu Yan was standing.
The wind fluttered her purple dress and her ink-like hair tied with a thin ribbon flowed freely. Her entire body was as if it were enveloped in a layer of warm golden light, her figure peerlessly gorgeous, giving people a mysterious, graceful feel.
Her peerless and delicate facial features appeared much softer in the warm light, forming a visual contrast with the deadly, cold woman who rushed into the group of beasts to kill, making people unable to fathom.
And her name also appeared as a talent to pay attention to on lists belonging to Sword Masters from each kingdom. Who wasn’t an amazing, sensational person to have advanced into the top fifty on the first day?
Although the well-known and admired figures like Mo Ling and Yan Jun were also objects of attention, but it was only a matter of course for them to have entered the top fifty.
The names ‘Yan’zhou Kingdom, Lou Mu Yan’ were extremely unfamiliar to the Sword Masters from superpower kingdoms and many large, medium, and small kingdoms. Whether she was the dark horse this time could only be known at the end.
Therefore, Lou Mu Yan’s name only got some notice and attention, but was not included on the list of priorities to pay attention to.
If Lou Mu Yan knew this, she definitely would feel that she was extremely wise. If she killed a few more Demonic Beasts and advanced into the top ten of the rankings, it would mean endless trouble.
Of course, during the last few days, she naturally didn’t mind being high-profile. After all, the reward for advancing into the top ten were identity jade tablets, which gave a greater guarantee for the second round.
“Yan’er, you’re too impulsive.” Lou Mu Bai’s tone was reproachful, but the doting look in his eyes didn’t subside.
Lou Mu Yan jumped down from the very top of the city wall and hugged his arm, acting spoilt as she said: “Eldest Brother, it’s because I’m well aware of the situation so I dare to go. I cherish my little life very much.”
“You! If Grandpa and Dad are here, they’d definitely be frightened sick by you.” Lou Mu Bai tapped the tip of her nose in amusement.
“How could that be? Their hearts are very strong.”
Yun Zi Mo put away the longsword in his hand with appreciation in his eyes: “Congratulations on advancing into the top fifty of the rankings.”
“But I don’t want to be so high-profile at all.” Lou Mu Yan revealed some helplessness on her face and shrugged.
She indeed wanted to earn points and collect Crystal Cores, but she really didn’t want to be so high-profile at the beginning. She still liked to ‘amass wealth while keeping a low profile’.
“…”
The people who were close to them rolled their eyes speechlessly. She didn’t want to be so high-profile but still rushed into the Beast Tide to kill, and that look of dislike when she heard her point rankings… it truly made them want to vomit blood.
They sure wanted to be high-profile, but they just couldn’t be high-profile!
