Chapter 97: The Ranking Competition Begins, Awakening and Breakthrough

The current Yin family, due to Ye Lang’s sudden rise to prominence, resulted in the arranged marriage with the Yin Yang Heavenly Palace failing, and Yin Ba falling into a coma once more!

This worsened the already precarious situation of the Yin family!

Many opposing forces seized the opportunity to provoke the Yin family. In recent times, the Yin family not only lost many strong members but also had a significant amount of resources plundered!

The Holy Clan’s prestige was lost, and it was no longer the Yin family of the past!

Therefore, the members of the Yin family deeply hated Ye Lang, who they believed was responsible for all of this!

But Ye Lang was now the Palace Lord of the Yin Yang Heavenly Palace and a Saint disciple, so they couldn’t do anything to him!

This time, Ye Lang’s participation in the Latent Dragon Ranking competition gave the Yin family a chance to vent their anger because external assistance from cultivators was not allowed in the Latent Dragon Ranking competition!

Even weapons had to be controlled at the Spirit Treasure level!

Ye Lang’s cultivation naturally couldn’t be hidden from these Great Emperor Realm Yin family elders; they could tell at a glance that he was only at the Sovereign Realm Initial Stage!

Wouldn’t this be a chance to deal with him?

In front of the palace, the young man named Yin Jian nodded upon hearing this, his gaze sharp!

He was determined to avenge the Yin family.

“Hmm… but don’t take his life. The current Yin family cannot withstand the wrath of the Yin Yang Heavenly Palace any longer.”

The elder added another instruction.

Elsewhere, after Ye Lang and the others entered the palace to rest, many other forces successively arrived in Shenglong City!

With the arrival of all parties, the Latent Dragon Ranking competition officially began!

The next day.

Cultivators from various forces emerged from the palace and gathered around the huge arena!

Not only that, but a large number of cultivators from Shenglong City also gathered in the distance, craning their necks to watch this grand event.

Ye Lang was still being carried by the Demonic Puppet, staying with the Yin Yang Heavenly Palace group.

His mission had a time limit; the completion of the Latent Dragon Ranking competition marked the end of his mission.

“Boom!”

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the arena. It was an elder with white hair and beard, but with incredibly deep eyes!

The elder didn’t exude any aura, standing on the arena like an ordinary person.

But the moment he appeared, all the forces around the arena, including the cultivators of the overlord-level forces, fell silent.

Because this elder was the current Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Master Heavenly Secrets!

A Nine Transformation Great Emperor Realm peak cultivator!

He was said to possess a pair of Heavenly Secret Divine Eyes, capable of predicting the past and future, knowing everything about heaven and earth!

On the arena, Master Heavenly Secrets stroked his beard, his face quite amiable.

“Time has passed in a flash, and it’s time for the Latent Dragon Ranking competition again.”

“This old man won’t say much nonsense, so as not to waste everyone’s time.”

“This ranking competition will follow the same point system as usual, with rankings based on points!”

“The top hundred people will be on the list, and the top ten will receive titles!”

“Now, let’s begin!”

Master Heavenly Secret’s voice resounded around the entire arena, clearly reaching the ears of every cultivator.

Of course… except for a certain someone who was sleeping inside a barrier!

Around the arena, the young Sovereign Realm cultivators from the various forces of the Middle Heaven Realm were filled with fighting spirit, but also nervous!

One must know that there were quite a few forces in the entire Middle Heaven Realm qualified to participate in this Latent Dragon Ranking competition, and among them were twenty-one overlord-level forces!

Even though each force had a limited number of disciples qualified to participate in the competition!

With so many forces accumulated in the entire Middle Heaven Realm, there were at least a thousand people participating in the competition!

It was conceivable how difficult it was to achieve a top hundred ranking among so many people!

It could be said that at least half of the forces didn’t even have a single disciple who could make it onto the Latent Dragon Ranking!

On the arena, after Master Heavenly Secrets finished speaking, he gracefully landed behind the arena on a seat that had been prepared long ago.

Immediately, several members of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion came to the front of the arena, standing around it. One of them appeared on the arena and said in a deep voice:

“Now, the first round of battles begins!”

“The first round is a free-for-all mode. All disciples participating in the ranking competition will enter the arena for a melee!”

“I will give each of you a specially made token with the number zero on it, which is your initial score!”

“As long as you knock other people off the arena, the score on your token will increase by one. The more people you knock down, the higher your score!”

“The free-for-all will last for half an hour. Cultivators from the same sect are not allowed to join forces against enemies. No one is allowed to wear defensive armor, use weapons above Spirit Treasure level, or use external objects that exceed their own strength!”

“You must rely entirely on your own strength to fight!”

After saying that, he pinched his fingers, and a huge light curtain rose, enclosing the arena!

However, it left a certain amount of space around the arena, specifically for the cultivators who would be knocked down during the melee!

Around the arena, the cultivators from various forces who were going to participate in the ranking competition began to walk towards the arena, stopping in front of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion members.

They consciously took off the defensive armor or cloaks they were wearing.

On the other side, where the Yin Yang Heavenly Palace and others were gathered, Yin Yanran saw the cultivators from various forces entering the arena and quickly waved her hand to remove the barrier on the bed, waking Ye Lang up.

On the bed, Ye Lang woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and receiving a reward!”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Three Years of Cultivation]!”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill [Instantaneous Flash Domain]!”

The prompt of the Sleep to Become Stronger system immediately sounded in Ye Lang’s mind.

Now that it was time for him to enter the battle, the mission was naturally declared complete.

Immediately, Ye Lang stood up from the bed. Before he could even check what the two rewards were, he felt surging energy appear within his body!

At the same time, countless insights about the Sovereign Realm appeared in his mind!

His cultivation soared in an instant, heading straight towards the Sovereign Realm Mid-stage!

Ye Lang was only slightly startled before realizing that this was the reward of the three years of cultivation!

These three years of cultivation were equivalent to the cultivation gained from cultivating for three years at his current terrifying cultivation speed!

“Boom…”

The surge in cultivation attracted the frantic gathering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the outside world, causing rumbling sounds in the void above Ye Lang!

The huge commotion involuntarily attracted the attention of countless cultivators both on and off the arena.

“Isn’t that… the Palace Lord of the Yin Yang Heavenly Palace, the one who was sleeping before? He’s awake?”

“He’s not just awake, it seems like he’s breaking through!”

“Ah… sleeping every day and still breaking through, what kind of freak is he?”

“…”

The cultivators saw that the commotion was caused by Ye Lang and started discussing, their voices inevitably carrying a hint of shock!

At this time, Ye Lang’s cultivation had already soared to its peak, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body!

Instantly sweeping across the entire arena!

Sovereign Realm Mid-stage, breakthrough!
