Chapter 474 The Rules Are Announced, Who Else But Me?
The next day.
As the first rays of dawn pierce the sky, the first light of day begins to emerge.
Golden morning light, like silk threads, poured over the entire Tianji City, draping this ancient city in a splendid veil.
Today, Tianji City is bustling with activity.
Cultivators from all over the country flocked in like a tidal wave, with their numbers almost exploding.
The total number of cultivators in the city has soared to 800,000!
And this craze continues to heat up.
All the outstanding talents rushed to the city center.
Among them are the 300 outstanding talents who made it onto the list of the most outstanding individuals six months ago.
At this moment, the area around the Rising Dragon Platform was already completely surrounded by people.
The crowd surged, shoulder to shoulder.
Not only were there fiercely competitive talents, but also spectators from all directions who came to witness this grand event.
At this moment, a group of people slowly walked out of an antique-style restaurant in Tianji City.
Leading the way was the old ox.
He was dressed in a black outfit with neat shorts. Although he was thin and seemed to lack energy, he was actually quite capable.
Following closely behind was Wang Anran, who wore a flowing white dress and looked like a fairy descending to earth;
Yue Qinghuan, dressed in a fiery red dress, walked side by side with Wang Anran, creating a striking contrast.
Further behind was Pei Ziyan, dressed in a bright purple dress.
She moved with a light step, like a blooming violet.
Next came Su Yaoyue, dressed in a blue dress with a graceful figure.
Her delicate hand held Li Qingyuan's large hand.
Li Qingyuan, dressed in a blue robe, was dashing and heroic, with an ethereal and otherworldly air.
Following at the back was Jiang Nan, who remained silent and wore a light blue robe.
His expression was calm, as if he were detached from worldly affairs.
The group of seven set off towards Shenglongtai, facing the rising sun.
......

At this time.
In the center of the city, at the Thang Long Terrace.
The surrounding area was already packed with people, and the atmosphere was as heated as a volcano about to erupt.
It turns out that Guo Shian solemnly announced the new rules for the second phase in the early hours of this morning.
The rules are clear and straightforward, yet they conceal turbulent undercurrents.
The three hundred members of the previous ranking of geniuses need to each take up the position corresponding to their own ranking.
They are arranged in order from the first to the third hundredth.
Other cultivators who dream of making it onto the list have the right to challenge it.
This time, the battle mode is no longer limited to the monotonous 'gauntlet battle'; the 'group battle mode' has also been officially launched!
If you feel that you are not strong enough and that you cannot win by fighting alone, you can call on your friends.
With everyone working together, they first defeated the original members of the Prodigy Ranking.
Then, in the ensuing melee, the victor was determined who would ultimately stand proudly on the Rising Dragon Platform.
In short, it was a chaotic war with absolutely no order!
Only those who remain on the Rising Dragon Platform are qualified to advance into the third stage with their heads held high.
As a result, the original members of the Prodigy Ranking undoubtedly bear enormous pressure.
After all, even if they are exceptionally strong, how could they possibly withstand a combined attack from a group of cultivators of the same level?
A slight misstep could lead to a desperate situation, or even endanger one's life!
Although the rules clearly state—
Even if a prodigy is defeated in a challenge, they will have the opportunity to rest and recover before launching another challenge.
But the difficulties and obstacles involved are not easily overcome.
However, that's why.
Those who attempt to take advantage of the chaos and seek opportunism will find it extremely difficult to gain an advantage in this battle.
This is undoubtedly a true test of strength and quality!
Only those who excel among their peers, or even possess the ability to challenge across borders, have a chance to emerge victorious in this brutal and chaotic battle.
......

Not long after.
Li Qingyuan and his group rushed to Shenglongtai.
When they heard about these cruel and novel rules, the reactions of the people were quite different.
Apart from Li Qingyuan and the old ox, who appeared calm and composed, as if they had already planned everything out, everyone else remained calm and composed.
The others all frowned, their worries evident in their expressions.
These rules are utterly inhumane!
Once you choose to step onto the Ascending Dragon Platform and claim the glory of the Heavenly Pride Ranking, it means you must go all in and fight to the very last moment, with absolutely no way out!
For top experts like Chu Xinghan, who rank high on the Prodigy Ranking, the pressure brought by these rules is equally ever-present.
After all, even if ordinary cultivators have lofty ambitions, they might not have the courage to challenge them rashly.
Even if everyone unites, they would be nothing more than "giving away food" in the face of an absolute disparity in strength.
This has created two extreme situations.
They are either strong individuals with high self-confidence in their own abilities, who dare to confront the sharpness of Chu Xinghan and others;
Or they know they are not up to the task and will not seek trouble for themselves, choosing to give up the challenge.
And somewhere in between these two extremes.
The remaining members of the original Prodigy Ranking were caught in a dilemma.
They are about to face a fierce attack, like a violent storm!
It should be noted that the number of cultivators who passed the first stage yesterday already reached as many as 30,000.
More than 30,000 people will compete for 300 spots in this fierce competition!
The difficulty is self-evident, and the slim chances are enough to make one feel despair.
Some low-level cultivators in the Heavenly Gang Realm were ashen-faced and filled with despair.
In their view, if they wanted to climb the Heavenly Pride List, which symbolized supreme glory, this time...
Even if it's just ranking 300th!
It would probably require at least the strength of the fifth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm!
This is already the bare minimum requirement.
The sheer number of high-level Heavenly Realm cultivators from all over the country who have gathered here is simply too enormous!
Compared to the past, the number was more than ten times greater, a spectacle that can only be described as once in a century.
In this fierce competition where there are so many experts, how easy is it to stand out?
......
------
It didn't take long.
Then, renowned cultivators at the top of the Prodigy Ranking, such as Chu Xinghan, Li Tianxing, and Kan Wushuang, arrived one after another.
They exuded a powerful and sharp aura.
Every step he took carried an air of domineering confidence!
This attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and discussions arose one after another.
Li Qingyuan's eyes scanned the crowd with keen insight.
Unexpectedly, they saw Yunyi and Yunlan.
And then there's Yang Zhengyu, whom he cares about quite a bit!
Yesterday, he had roughly figured out Yang Zhengyu's background from the snippets of conversation among the surrounding cultivators—
This person is a cultivator at the early stage of the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm.
In Li Qingyuan's eyes, such strength was really nothing special.
However, in order not to reveal too much of their strength, so as not to put themselves at a disadvantage in subsequent competition.
Li Qingyuan was secretly pondering at this moment:
How can I achieve a fatal blow?
To quickly resolve this potential threat, lest things escalate and unforeseen complications arise...
As for Yun Yi, Li Qingyuan released a slight sense and was surprised to find that this person had also broken through a realm and entered the sixth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm.
However, in Li Qingyuan's opinion, Yun Yi's strength was even slightly inferior to Yang Zhengyu's, so there was no need to expend too much energy dealing with him.
