Chapter 835: Billboard’s top ranked Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations “What? Because you can no longer participate in the alchemist competition, you can’t participate in the array competition either?!” Sima You Qi and the others were in the courtyard gathered together, extremely shocked when they heard the news. Sima You Yue slumped on the table and looked at everyone’s reaction. She was complaining and fighting against it in her heart. “The array master competition doesn’t have anything to do with your alchemy, so why aren’t you allowed to compete?” Sima You Lin asked. “They want me to lay low.” Sima You Yue sighed, “If it were not for my protests, they wouldn’t even let me compete in the billboard ranking!” “The fact that the sect wants you to lay so low proves that they place heavy emphasis on this pill competition.” Sima You Ran said. “I wonder if Instructor Mao is hiding anything from me.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m guessing that there’s more to it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t tell me all these things.” “But you have no way of finding out.” Fatty Qu said. “Sigh, isn’t that so.” Sima You Yue said gloomily. “Do your seniors know?” Wei Zi Qi asked. “I don’t know. When I went to look for them earlier, they didn’t know what was going on either.” Sima You Yue said. “No matter what, I believe that the sect will not harm you.” Bei Gong Tang said. “Sigh, when the time comes, I can only go to watch you guys compete.” “Don’t sigh anymore. You’re only unable to participate in the pill competition and the others, you’ll still be able to compete in the billboard rankings.” Bei Gong Tang patted her shoulder. “Sigh…” Sima You Yue looked over to Wei Zi Qi, saying, “Where’s the news that you guys collected on the top ranked on the billboard from before?” “All here.” Wei Zi Qi handed over a piece of paper, “These have been arranged according to how strong they are. You don’t have to care about the others. Just look at the top ten.” First ranked was Little Seven. It went without saying that she couldn’t compete against her level of strength. Second ranked was Wang Si Miao, three hundred and eighty years old. He was at advanced Divine Saint rank at the time. He was rumored to be an ice beauty. Very few had ever seen him before, and he only appeared during the billboard ranking matches. In third place was Hua Piao Miao, three hundred and eighty years old. Also advanced Divine Saint ranked at the time. However, the person was a little weaker in terms of battle ability. Rumored to be the most attractive person in the inner sect and spent many years cultivating in the cultivation pagoda. Fourth place was Pang Jia Nan, three hundred and ninety years old. A middle ranked divine saint rank at the time. Fifth was Mo Bin, three hundred and sixty years old, middle divine saint ranked. Sixth was Jia Cheng Xuan, seventh was Yu Hao Qi, eighth was Han Kai Le, also middle divine saint ranked. Ninth was Mu Jiang Ying, tenth was Tang Yan, both of which were beginner Divine Saint ranked. Sima You Yue looked at their information, her heart already guessing the results if they battled. “There are some changes to the gatherings every year.?This year, they only revealed the order without revealing the content.” Wei Zi Qi said, “The first competition will be the alchemy competition, then the array competition, followed by armament masters, beast tamers and finally seeker spirit masters. Once these competitions are over, the billboard ranking matches will begin.” “They never had a competition for seeker spirit masters before, who would have thought that this would be added in this year.” “There has always been few seeker spirit masters. It’s not that they didn’t want to hold it, but that they couldn’t do so every year.” Wei ZI Qi said, “Actually, the competitions for all the previous ones were the same, only the billboard ranking matches were different, with more different permutations. I wonder how it will be like this year.” “There are still two more days. You guys should make the most of the time to practice. I’ll just watch.” Sima You Yue said. “Your seniors have yet to come out by now, will they be competing in the competition?” Bei Gong Tang said “If they are going to compete, Ouyang Fei and I would have no shot at it.” “Master isn’t around, and such a big thing happened to Eldest Senior, so they’re both feeling out of sorts and don’t plan to participate in the competition. Right now, they’re still looking into researching the ancient pil methods. Who knows whether or not they’ll come out to watch the fun once the competition begins.” Sima You Yue said. “They’re both people who emphasize feelings and righteousness. Who would have thought that they would be betrayed by their senior who was like family to them. That’s why it was such a big blow to them.” Sima You Ran said, “Once the competition begins, we can let them come out and walk around. The sect will definitely be bustling with activity once the time comes.” “Mm. I’ll call them out once the competition starts.” Sima You Yue said. “Right, when you went to look for Instructor Mao in his office, that crazy guy came to look for you again. I’m guessing that he’ll never let it go if you never fight with him.” Sima You Yue wasn’t that interested in fighting with anyone. When she heard Sima You Qi mention Crazy He, she thought of the information that she read earlier, saying, “That Crazy He… he shouldn’t come anymore once the competition is over.” “Once the Billboard ranking competition happens, I’m afraid that he will keep asking to fight with you one he sees how strong you are.” Fatty Qu said. “Then just beat him up once.” Sima You Yue said, “For these kinds of people who like to rush up and beat people, we can’t encourage them too much.” Everyone was speechless. This guy wanted to break the opponent’s mentality right at its foundation. “Sigh how sad. I’m going to sleep to nurse my broken heart. I’ll come out again once the competition is over.” “...” Nurse her broken heart… the way they saw it, she just wanted an excuse to rest. “Alright, let’s go back to prepare for the competition later.” Sima You Lin said. “Everyone, let’s work hard and do our best!” “Work hard!” ... After leaving the sect compound, Sima You Yue walked around. Perhaps it was because the competition was starting soon, but all those who used to be in closed door cultivation had emerged. The students who were outside had also returned, and the sect was livelier than it had ever been. At that time, it had been a long time since she had saved those people, so everyone no longer looked at her with such excitement. At the very least, they did not surround her. “Hey, did you hear? The top ten people in the billboard rankings have come out. I heard that Hua Piao Miao, who’s in the top three, is beyond beautiful.” “What do you mean you heard it, I saw her for myself.” “You saw? Oh damn, when did you? Why did I not get to see her?” “Just this morning. When I came out of the cultivation pagoda, I saw that she had come out as well. Everyone went to surround her, the scene at that time… hehe…” “Aiyah, I would have gone if I’d known earlier!’ “What’s the point of you going? I saw her going with a handsome guy. They were definitely cultivating together.” “Cultivating together with her means that that person’s rank can’t be low.” “Definitely not.” Another person dashed over, “The one who came out with Hua Piao Miao in the morning should be the fourth ranked, Pang Jia Nan.” “The area near the cultivation pagoda was lively yesterday. There would be sounds of exclamation every now and then, the entire inner court heard it.” “Yesterday? Didn’t you know that many people came out yesterday? In the past, most of those from the top fifty had secluded themselves inside to cultivate? They should be coming out now because the competition is starting. “The new billboard ranking is going to come out, it’s so exciting!” Sima You Yue listened to their conversation and smirked. She was also excited!
