When the girls returned, Yun Wuji asked, "What number did you pick?"

  "I got 2024!" Wu Xuexin beamed as she showed the tablet she had taken. The number dispyed on it was: 2024.

  "I got 1007!" Shui Wushuang also showed her tablet.

  "I got 911!" Mu Lingxue did the same.

  "Aside from Mu Lihe person with the highest cultivation is that Ling whatever guy from the Heavenly Sword Vil, his cultivation is at the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm," Yun Wuji said, gng at their tablets before addressing Wu Xuexin and Shui Wushuang. "However, uhe Earth Profound Realm, it's possible to fight those a few levels higher as long as it's not more than three. Your bodies are tempered with tless resources, and you're using the improved Frozen Cloud Arts, which is multiple times strohan the inal. Defeating him will be a piece of cake!"

  In cultivation, while it's very rare, a few talented individuals fight oppos several levels higher when they are below the Earth Profound Realm. However, one reaches the Earth Profound Realm, it bees much harder to achieve that feat. As cultivation advahe gap between realms grows wider, making it increasingly difficult te.

  In the Divine Master Realm, even a single level create a vast differen power.

  A realm master at the 9th level of the Divine Master Realm is an upper realm's realm king, while a 10th level Divine Master Realm cultivator rules a king realm and they are called 'God Emperor'.

  Despite being separated by just one level, the status and strength of these two are worlds apart.

  Jasmin's brother, renowned as a great genius with incredible battle strength at the 9th level of the Divine Master Realm, still found himself powerless against his father, Star God Emperor.

  "As for you, Mu Lingxue, I have nothing to say," Yun Wuji said as he turo her. "This tour is just a ptform for you to shine and show off your talent and Frozen Cloud's strength."

  Though her talent was created by him, in the inal novel, she was at the peak of the Spirit Profound Realm yet still lost to Ling Yun, who was a level lower than her.

  "Senior Yun Wuji, if I defeat that guy, I get a reward?" Wu Xuexin suddenly asked with a mischievous grin.

  'I didn't expect little sister Wu Xuexin to be so ing!' The other two looked at her with regret; they felt regretful for not having thought of this themselves.

  "Oh?" Yun Wuji g her with a meaningful smile. "What kind of reward do you want?"

  "This... I... I still haven't thought of it," Wu Xuexin stammered, her blush deepening as she looked at his smile, feeling as if he could see right through her thoughts. She fidgeted, trying to find her words.

  Chu Yue facepalmed, while Chu Yueli snickered. Ah a funing brain could tell what she nning.

  "Guardian Wuji, if... if I defeat him, I also get a reward?" At that moment, Shui Wushuang mustered her ce and asked.

  "Sure, if either of you two defeat that Ling whatever guy or Ling Yun, you'll be rewarded," Yun Wuji said, spreading his hands helplessly.

  "..." Mu Lingxue sighed in frustration, for the first time in her life she felt that having a higher cultivation wasn't good. She didn't have the face to ask for a reward.

  "Alright, the first round has started. You o get ready," Chu Yue interrupted them. She couldn't sit still watg them flirt; it wasn't that she minded Yun Wuji being with other women, but right now they were the ter of attention, and she didn't want others to keep watg them flirt.

  This could damage the reputation of the sect.

  "Yes! Senior Sister!" The three girls suddenly felt a chill and immediately replied.

  The first round of group fights will st three days, with thirty groups of about fifty disciples each. Every petitor must participate in twelve fights, and the top ten from each group will advaotaling three hundred disciples for the sed round. The twelve hundred who don't advance will move on to ranking fights, which will rgely go unnoticed by aside the affiliated sects.

  The sed round will have three hundred disciples peting over three days, eapleting fifteen fights. Rankings will be based on wins, listing the top one hundred and the thirty-twest. Those outside the top hundred will move to the sedary arena for further ranking from the thirty-third to the huh. Disciples challehose ranked above them; if they win, they take their oppo's ranking. Meanwhile, elimination matches for the top thirty-two will begin in the main arena.

  *Info dump for those whot or haven't read the novel.*

  Ling Wugou took a long time to read the tour's procedures and guidelines. Finally, the Blue Wind Ranking Tour officially began.

  "...A petitor loses if they fall for over tehs or cede! Any petitor taking more than thirty breaths to ehe stage will be sidered defeated. Now, this old man decres the Blue Wind Ranking Tour officially started!"

  The 30 small arenas were surrounded by transparent profound energy protective ss. These profound energy barriers could isote the two petitors so that their profound energy would not affect the surroundings during bat.

  At the same time, 30 Sky Profound Realm experts served as judges, each overseeing a small arena.

  Soon, the numbers of sixty disciples lit up simultaneously. The petitors quickly stepped onto their respective Sword Discourse stages, and the first match officially began.

  The matches sted for a very short time, and quickly the winners were decided.

  "Oh, it's my turn! Senior sisters, Guardian Wuji, I'll be going!" Shui Wushuang saw her number and quickly headed to her arena.

  "Look, it's a disciple from Frozen Cloud!"

  The moment Shui Wushuang stepped onto the stage, all eyes were on her. Whenever a disciple from any of the Four Major Sects appeared, they naturally became the ter of attention.

  That's especially true for disciples from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Pace.

  Opposite Shui Wushuang, a twenty-year-old youth walked up. However, his expression was terrible. Within his heart, he was inwardly pining about his bitter lot. His profound strength was at the Sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, and within this group, he was sidered good.

  He never expected to get a disciple of the Frozen Cloud as his first oppo.

  Logically, the most sensible choice was to admit defeat immediately, but his fragile ego wouldn't allow him to back down without a fight, especially against a seventeen-year-old girl.

  "I am idealist from the Bald Bearded Uncle Fa," he introduced himself and his sect.

  "..." However, he was met with silence.

  Although Shui Wushuang and the others are warm and very 'friendly' with Yun Wuji that is because he is one of them and they admire him greatly. Usually, they are always cold and distant when fag others, whether men or women. They always give off "Stay away, I am not ied" Aura.

  "Take my heaven-splittih-shattering, world-destroying ssh!" The ma ashamed when she ignored him, pulling out his sword and shouting.

  As his voice faded, he stepped forward and thrust his sword outward. A surge of sword aura rushed toward her.

  Shui Wushuang didn't bat an eye, fag his sword aura, her right hand moved slowly,

  A cold wind swept past and cut at his face like bdes. In seds, his sword aura was frozen and shattered, as if he'd been plunged into a frozen prison. His limbs froze in pce, locked in the pose of wielding his sword and rushing forward. He couldn't even move his fingers.

  In the blink of an eye, a yer of hoar frost spread from the tip of his sword, enveloping his entire body.

  "I... admit... defeat..." idealist's mouth trembled as he squeezed out those three words. He idealistically thought that even i, he could still put up a fight and maintain his dignity. But he didn't expect to st even one move!

  "Bald Bearded Uncle Fa's idealist admits defeat, Frozen Cloud Immortal Pace Shui Wushuang wins!" The judge decred.

  Shui Wushuang stepped out of the arena, awaiting her fight.

  After her battle, Mu Lingxue and Wu Xuexin fought in their respective arenas. However, following Shui Wushuang's impressive dispy, most of their oppos chose to admit defeat without even a fight.

  "Sigh, I didn't meet anyone from the reat sects, much less anyone from Heavenly Sword Vil," Wu Xuexin pined as the first day passed quickly. After returning to their resideh the others, she sat down, uo hold back her frustration.

  "It doesn't matter, we might still meet them in the stages," Shui Wushuang replied, not as disappointed.

  "Hmm, true," Wu Xuexin nodded in agreement.

  "..." Mu Lingxue listeo the duo, shook her head in silence, and quietly returo her room.
