Eternal Sacred King

2242 I’m Going to Do It!

After pondering for a moment, Elder Zhong stood out and cupped his fists towards Xie Ling. “Your Highness, too many changes have happened in the elimination round of the Earth Ranking.”

“18 peak Earth Immortals joined forces to attack a disciple of our academy, causing him to expend too much energy and severely affect his combat strength.”

“I suggest that the ranking battle be postponed for a day. That will be more fair.”

Elder He added hurriedly, “That’s right.”

“No!”

Prince Yuan Zuo was the first to stand out and sneered, “What kind of a joke is this? Who doesn’t exhaust themselves in the elimination round? You want to change the rules just for a disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy?”

“That’s right!”

Heaven Immortal Green Peak said in a deep voice as well, “The ranking battle is about to begin after the elimination round. The goal is to not give these Earth Immortals any time to rest.”

“Otherwise, there’s no meaning to the ranking of the elimination round.”

“If anything happens in the elimination round, that’s also a part of the fight for the Earth Ranking. We can’t change the rules just because of a single change.”

Cultivators of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect were both dead.

Naturally, Prince Yuan Zuo and Heaven Immortal White Sea were unwilling to see Su Zimo obtain the top of the Earth Ranking.

Heaven Immortal Green Peak represented Imperial Wind Temple and was unwilling to give in.

He could also tell that if Su Zimo rested for a day and recovered to his peak condition, Feng Yin might not be his match.

The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy looked at Perfected Immortal Xie Ling.

After all, Xie Ling was the person in charge of the 10,000 Year Meet and had the right to make the decision.

After a moment of silence, Xie Ling looked at the elders of Heaven and Earth Academy and shook his head apologetically. “As Fellow Daoists Yuan Zuo and Green Peak said, since the rules have been set, they can’t be changed casually. Otherwise, the rules will be meaningless.”

The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy were not surprised by this outcome either.

After all, logically, the rules of the 10,000 Year Meet could not be changed just to accommodate a single disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy.

When they stood out to fight for it earlier on, they merely gave it a shot with a sliver of hope.

“Since that’s the case,”

Elder Zhong looked at Su Zimo and said in a deep voice, “Zimo, withdraw from the ranking battle for the Earth Ranking this time round. There’s no need to continue fighting.”

“Elder Zhong, don’t worry.”

Su Zimo’s expression was indifferent. “Since I’m taking part in the Earth Ranking competition, I won’t withdraw at the last minute.”

The reason why he wanted to obtain the top of the Earth Ranking was not because of reputation.

It was because the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom would give the richest rewards to the top of the Earth Ranking!

Among them, there were many precious cultivation resources such as the Essence Spirit Liquid and rare elixirs such as the Parasol Tree Elixir.

He could even enter the palace of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom and choose a cultivation technique or secret skill to cultivate as well as obtain a Dharmic treasure from the armory in the palace…

Those rewards were a huge boost for Su Zimo.

Right now, he was at the peak of a Grade 8 Earth Immortal. If nothing went wrong, he would be able to break through to Grade 9 soon.

If he digested those rewards, he might be able to cross a major cultivation realm from a Grade 9 Earth Immortal to the Heaven Essence realm in a short period of time and become a Heaven Immortal!

If he wanted to fight against Yun Ting on the Heaven Ranking, he had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible!

He would definitely not give up on any opportunities that he could encounter.

Prince Yuan Zuo heaved a sigh of relief.

Earlier on, he was worried that Su Zimo would withdraw from the fight for the Earth Ranking because of the persuasion of the Heaven and Earth Academy elders.

At that moment, he was finally relieved.

“Su Zimo, I’ll wait here and see how you end up in a crushing defeat!”

Prince Yuan Zuo sneered.

“Is that so?”

Su Zimo glanced at Prince Yuan Zuo indifferently. “I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. I’m definitely going to get the top of the Earth Ranking!”

When he heard that, Feng Yin could not help but laugh and shake his head gently.

If Su Zimo was in his peak condition, he would not dare to claim victory.

Now that the difference in their conditions was so great, could he not suppress a Grade 8 Earth Immortal whose Essence Spirit was weak and Essence Qi was depleted?

“Alright!”

Xie Ling nodded slightly with a look of admiration. “Since no one has any issues, the ranking battle will begin now.”

“Prince Yun Ting, Su Zimo is prepared to fight for the top of the Earth Ranking. Are you still leaving in advance?”

Xie Ling asked with a smile.

“I’ve already said that there’s nothing to see,”

Yun Ting shrugged his shoulders gently. “Even if Feng Yin wins in the end, in my heart, Su Zimo will still be the top of the Earth Ranking.”

“Su Zimo, it’s fine if you lose. However, you have to survive. Remember the challenge between us!”

Yun Ting added and turned to leave, turning into a sword beam that disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Actually, Yun Ting also felt that there was no doubt about this battle and Su Zimo had no chance.

That was the reason why he said that earlier on.

Su Zimo’s problem was not only his condition, but also his many trump cards that had been used up in advance and had yet to recover.

This battle was unfair to begin with.

“Your Highness, does Mr. Su have a chance of winning?”

Xu Xiaotian asked softly with a worried expression.

Xie Qingcheng pondered for a long time before shaking his head gently. “If Brother Su is up against ordinary opponents, he should be able to win given his melee combat strength.”

“However, if he wants to fight for the top of the Earth Ranking, he’ll definitely have to deal with Feng Yin. He most likely won’t stand a chance.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Furthermore, the rules of the ranking battle are extremely advantageous for the number one of the elimination round.”

“What do you mean?”

Xu Xiaotian asked.

Xie Qingcheng said, “The rules of the ranking battle are extremely simple. There will be a total of seven rounds to determine the top of the Earth Ranking.”

“In the first round, the 1st place is up against the 100th place, the 2nd is up against the 99th so on and so forth. As the 68th, Brother Su will be up against the 33rd.”

“In the second round, 50 people will remain and they will continue fighting in pairs. The 1st against the 50th, the 2nd against the 49th and so on and so forth.”

“In the third round, 25 people will remain. 24 people will fight in pairs and there will be one empty spot.”

“The empty spot will be reserved for the number one of the elimination round, Feng Yin!”

Xu Xiaotian understood and came to a realization. “In other words, Feng Yin will get more time to rest and less combat.”

“That’s right.”

Xie Qingcheng nodded and continued, “By the fourth round, there will be another empty spot among the remaining 13 people. The empty spot this time round will still be reserved for the number one of the elimination round.”

“In the fifth round, among the remaining seven people, the empty spot will still belong to Feng Yin. In other words, in the seven rounds, Feng Yin will get the chance to rest for three rounds!”

Xu Xiaotian had a worried expression.

As such, while one party was fighting with others, the other party was resting.

The difference between them would only increase!

“However, a one-on-one fight is only to determine the victor. How will the ranking be determined?”

Xu Xiaotian asked again.

Xie Qingcheng said, “The three Immortal Kingdoms and four immortal sects will each send a Heaven Immortal expert to judge the standard of the losers and eventually determine their ranking.”
