I Am Overlord Chapter 882: End of Fight and Rankings

Chapter 882: End of Fight and Rankings

Xiang Shaoyun had just reached the seventh stage and was still a distance away from the Soul Foundation Realm. He needed to properly plan his soul foundation forming and form the one most suited for him. Only then would he be able to fully unleash his strength.

After all, his path of cultivation was different from anyone else. Therefore, doing something completely different was required.

As time pa.s.sed, the disciples started challenging the stronger devilish plants for more points. More and more were forced to withdraw from the battleground, but some also managed to stubbornly hang on. Only the ones surviving till the end with the top 100 points would be placed on the Dragon Phoenix List. Those who had withdrawn by crus.h.i.+ng their protective jades were no longer in the compet.i.tion.

During the final month, Xiang Shaoyun had stopped hunting. Rather, he focused on cultivating the Raging Skyburn Palm and Dragonscale Arm.

With his heaven-defying comprehension ability, he was able to grasp both techniques and reached a level where he could unleash 60 percent of these techniques' prowess. After some additional training, he would be able to unleash 70 percent of their power. And by the time he reached the Sovereign Realm, he would be able to unleash their full power.

The two were after all top quality sovereign-grade techniques. To display 60 percent of their power as an Emperor was already a commendable accomplishment. For any other person, just displaying 30 or 40 percent of their power would be a great achievement.

"The Raging Skyburn Palm is much stronger than the Seven Scorching Sun Claws, and it can fully showcase Yun Flame's might. As for the Dragonscale Arm, it needs to work with my draconic aura to stir the power of my gold star. I can then slam my entire arm around repeatedly like a rampaging dragon and unleash a formidable power. These two techniques are more than enough to last me until the Soul Foundation Realm," said Xiang Shaoyun with satisfaction.

Right before the closure of the battleground, Xiang Shaoyun regrouped with Lady Shura and Money, preparing to leave together. And when the battleground period reached its end, everyone vanished from the battleground and reappeared outside the Forest of Antiquity.

The freaks appeared one after another, such as Baili Yixiao, Zhan Wushuang, Lei Bao, Yu Ziyang, and Huang Tianji.

"The overlord is here. Let's go," said someone from the Overlord Legion when he saw Xiang Shaoyun. The Overlord Legion people started heading his way.

There were about 200 Overlord Legion members present. They had just exited the battleground as well. That was evident from the thick bloodl.u.s.t that they still exuded.

"Greetings, Overlord," they all greeted respectfully.

Their eyes were filled with reverence. Obviously, due to Xiang Shaoyun's draw with Zhan Wushuang, his position had been elevated to a paramount position in their hearts. Apart from the Overlord Legion members, some other disciples nearby were also filled with reverence for them. It was a natural reverence one had for the strong.

When Zhan Wushuang saw Xiang Shaoyun, his eyes turned gloomy as he yelled, "Xiang Shaoyun, come. We fight again!"

His battle intent erupted, looking very much like he wanted to have a big battle with Xiang Shaoyun right there. The people around him quickly moved away in panic.

Xiang Shaoyun's battle intent also burst out. With his hair whipping about, he replied loudly, "Bring it on. I am just itching for a fight!"

Just as the two were about to engage each other, the elder in charge of the event interrupted, "Get ready to return. Private battles are prohibited for now."

Neither Xiang Shaoyun nor Zhan Wushuang dared to disobey the elder. So they merely glared at each other before joining with the others on the return trip.

When they arrived at the academy, they found that those who had been eliminated previously were all gathered at the academy's training field. The academy was going to announce the final ranking, and attendance was mandatory.

This ranking would not only rank the recruited disciples of the academy. The local faction disciples would be included as well. Thus, compet.i.tion for this ranking was extremely intense.

The many disciples handed their protective jades to the elder in charge so the final ranking could be determined. The princ.i.p.al and many elders had also appeared at the training field. Evidently, they attached great importance to the battleground's result.

When everyone was a.s.sembled, a miniature stone stele appeared in the princ.i.p.al's hand. He then fused all the protective jades with the stele. The stele quickly grew in size. Eventually, it was big enough to loom over the training field. It started pulsing with radiance, and before long, name after name started appearing on it.

First place, Baili Yixiao; second place, Zhan Wushuang; third place, Xiang Shaoyun; fourth place, Lei Bao; fifth place, Yu Caidie; sixth place, Yu Ziyang; seventh place, Ouyang Chuanqi; eighth place, Ye Linshan; ninth place, Xiao Xie; tenth place, Huang Tianji...

Upon seeing the ranking, Xiang Shaoyun himself was astonished and muttered, "I actually got into the top three?"

During the year in the battleground, he had indeed spent a lot of time killing devilish plants. But during the final month, he had basically stopped. He would be glad to just enter the top 100. In any case, the placings were just vanity for him. He did not care too much about it, and his sole focus was actual growth of strength. Thus, he was surprised to see that he actually had enough points to enter the top three.

In truth, he was unaware that most of his points were from obtaining the treasures in the secret cave and killing the blood devil vine. Those two activities had granted much more points than the other activities.

The top 10 had changed ma.s.sively, with Xiang Shaoyun being the biggest dark horse. He had actually entered the top three directly, standing side by side with the likes of Baili Yixiao and Zhan Wushuang.

Another surprise was Lei Bao of the local faction. His tyrannical rise raised many eyebrows, but they were also aware that, like Xiang Shaoyun, Lei Bao was also someone capable of pitting himself against Zhan Wushuang. Thus, he was worthy of ranking fourth.

As for Yu Caidie, her placement had not changed much, but as she had surpa.s.sed Yu Ziyang, her growth astonished many people. Apart from her, there was also Ye Linshan, who had reached the top eight when before he was only in the top twenty. He had surpa.s.sed Xiao Xie and Huang Tianji, proving his might to all.

The biggest letdown was Han Chenfei, who had remained in the top 10 all the while. She had fallen to the 13th place, ranking behind Long s.h.i.+ and an expert from the local faction.

The top 100 as a whole had also undergone huge changes. For example, w.a.n.g Yufeng, Gui Mochou, and some other geniuses failed to get onto the list. Instead, some other disciples who were previously unknown were now on the top 100, such as Xuan Yuantian, Tang Longfei, and Yuan Xuefen from the Overlord Legion. They were respectively at the 87th, 93rd, and 98th places. Regrettably, no other Overlord Legion members managed to get into the top 100.

Apart from the points they had acc.u.mulated when acting together as a group, the main reason the three had gotten into the top 100 was because they had all worked hard to remain in the battleground until the very end.
