Chapter 523 - Beigong Qin (2/2)
“Hehe, look at it now. Which one of your Wind-heeding Pavilion’s names is on it!”
Everyone immediately looked up at the light column Earth Ranking and could not help but be stunned. Xiao Chen was also stunned. The original 69th names were no longer his, and his own name was no longer on it.
“How, how is this possible!” Qin Tianyu cried out in shock.
“Hee hee, have you seen it clearly now?” The Elder sneered.
Xiao Chen pinched his fingers. He understood. It was not that someone had deliberately kicked him out. Rather, some people had made it to Earth Ranking from the three new batches of freshmen. Moreover, their rankings were higher than his. If one of them got on the list, his ranking would drop by one. If two of them got on the list, he would lose two. If three of them got on the list, he would lose to the 72nd place. Now that he was no longer on the list, it meant that at least four of them had made it.
“Brother Chen… I’m sorry…” Qin Tianyu said in a low voice. Now that he knew what he had said and done just now, he had embarrassed Xiao Chen at this moment.
Xiao Chen forced a smile. “No, it’s okay.”
In the distance, many senior disciples sneered and said, “As I said, how could Shui Yue have a disciple who had entered Earth Ranking? After occupying the space on the rank for a day and that’s it.”
“That’s Xiao Chen. He was so remarkable a few days ago. Hehe, he challenged Senior Sister Bai Ling the moment he arrived. He’s so arrogant that he doesn’t even look at us as his Senior Brothers. Now, look at how he is looking like a dog that fell into the water, he’s really like Shui Yue.”
Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly. It was not because those people mocked him, but why did they have to bring Shui Yue in? He had just been here for a few days, and it was his own business to drop the ranking. What did it have to do with Shui Yue? It was really too much for them to be so scornful.
The Elder snorted coldly and said, “Now, have you seen it clearly?”
The disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion all lowered their heads and remained silent. Everyone was a little dispirited. The Elder flicked his sleeve and continued to speak to the rest of the new disciples, “Now, I’ll tell you about the floating island in the middle! That island is called the Five Elements Platform. It’s the smelting area. As its name implies, it’s a place for tempering one’s body and improving one’s cultivation realm and grade…”
Originally, the disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion were very curious about the island in the middle. They had long wanted to know where it was, but now they suddenly felt that they were not interested in it anymore. At this moment, only the other three groups of newcomers were listening with full attention.
“There’s a Five Elements Formation on that island. It’s called the Qian Metal Formation, the Xun Wood Formation, the Kan Water Formation, the Li Fire Formation, and the Kun Earth Formation. Each formation has its own special function for Body Refining Realm. If you think there’s a bottleneck in your cultivation, you can choose to cultivate in a Body Refining Realm way. After each Body Refining Realm, you’ll be able to cultivate better.”
At this point, the Elder paused for a moment with a very serious look and continued, “You can choose a suitable Five Elements Formation for yourselves to refine your body. It can be the Li Fire Formation or the Kan Water Formation. But remember, each formation has 12 levels of elements. The higher the level, the more powerful the element is. You just need to do what you have to do. Don’t force yourself. Otherwise, you will be destroyed. Do you understand?”
“Understood!” The crowd replied in unison.
The Elder nodded and said, “Also, don’t try to drag the five formations of the elements to refine your body at the same time. Unless you have a super strong body, it will only destroy you. You know, in the past 100 years, only two disciples have been able to bear the power of the five elements at the same time!”
Upon hearing this, many people turned to look at the floating island in the middle. There was a powerful undulation from the formation on it. However, it was already very terrifying in this place. If one wanted to lead the five formations’ Mystic Power to temper one’s body at the same time, unless one had an Undead Body, one would be courting death. Don’t mention a small Nascent Soul Realm, even if it was someone of the Apotheosis Realm, under the attack by the five powerful formations, it was likely that one would be reduced to dust and smoke.
“Alright, there’s one last thing!”
The Elder suddenly bellowed coldly and then looked at Xiao Chen intentionally or unintentionally. He said coldly, “In Cloud Mist Academy, there is no sword conversation for newcomers, so you can’t beat others to go to the high-level area to cultivate. If you want to go to the high-level area, you have to get into the Mystic Sky Rankings first! Anyone who dares to take other areas by force will be imprisoned for a year!”
After that, he flicked his sleeve and turned into a cloud and left.
After the Elder left, everyone felt slightly more relaxed. Most of the people in Wind-heeding Pavilion lowered their heads in silence. Xu Ling’er’s eyebrows were slightly knitted as she looked at Qin Tianyu and asked, “What happened to you just now?”
Qin Tianyu wanted to say something, but in the end, he grinned and said, “Are you worried about me, Junior Sister Ling’er?”
Xu Ling’er immediately glared at him. “Bah! Shameless!”
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded not far away. “You’re Xiao Chen, aren’t you?”
The disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion looked up and saw a purple-clothed young man slowly walking over from the Purple Thunder Pavilion. He looked a little younger than Xiao Chen, but his eyes were particularly sharp, like the sharp edge of a needle that pierced through people’s hearts.
Xiao Chen looked over as well. He said placidly, “That’s right. What’s the matter?”
“My name is Beigong Qin.” When the young man in purple spoke, he was already about three meters away from Xiao Chen. At this moment, the two looked at each other. For some unknown reason, the people nearby suddenly felt a sense of oppression. It was a kind of oppressive feeling from a strong person.
“I’m also a newcomer this time. I’m even later than you guys. But you can call me Senior Brother Beigong,” said Beigong Qin as he looked sharply at Xiao Chen.
