Bronze Ranking Disciple The six-month period for executing the mission has come to an end. The disciples who set out earlier have gradually returned. Each person's strength has improved to varying degrees. There are still some who set out later and will need a few more days to return.
“Ha ha, Ren Shidi, I knew you would be fine.” When Feng Yi saw Ren Pingsheng the next day after returning, he immediately called out happily, feeling relieved in his heart.
When Ren Pingsheng was surrounded by Demonized Beasts, he had informed Feng Yi about the teleportation talisman. Feng Yi left to rescue him but hadn’t seen Ren Pingsheng since, which worried him for a long time. Later, when they encountered a Second-Level Monster, they got separated. This matter had been on his mind, but now he felt no worry at all.
“Yeah, I was lucky to escape at that time. It seems like Brother Feng has also gained quite a bit this time.” Ren Pingsheng glanced over and was surprised to find that Feng Yi had reached the level of a Perfect Realm Warrior.
“Indeed, after we were scattered by the Second-Level Monster, I gained some opportunities. After digesting them over the past six months, I have reached my current level. However, Ren Shidi, your cultivation seems not to be inferior to mine; could it be the same for you?”
“Just luck. It looks like many people gained opportunities from this mission.”
“Yes, although this mission encountered many unforeseen problems, the rewards were significant.” He suppressed his shock and nodded. He truly had no words regarding Ren Pingsheng's rapid advancement. Initially in a good mood, he felt that joy diminish in comparison.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and all those Bronze Ranking Disciples who could return had done so. However, upon counting, only sixty out of one hundred Bronze Ranking Disciples returned. This caused some influential figures within the Academy to be shaken; they quickly sent people to gather them for inquiries about what had happened.
This meant a loss of forty Bronze Disciples. These were among the most promising and capable disciples in the Outer Court, likely to become Martial Master Realm Martial Artists or even respected-level warriors in the future. They couldn’t help but be concerned about this outcome. They might have anticipated some losses—perhaps one or two dozen—but this many was quite distressing.
The surviving disciples led by Ren Pingsheng recounted everything they knew about the situation, explaining the peculiar nature of the Demonized Beasts, which had managed to isolate them before slowly surrounding them, leading to significant losses. The appearance of the Second-Level Monster further exacerbated their situation.
Looking at the survivors, Ren Pingsheng recognized quite a few familiar faces; at least those with considerable strength had survived, such as Gu Yunfei and Su Lang. He also spotted Chu Tian among the crowd and was surprised that he had made it back alive. Remembering what had transpired before, a cold glint flashed in Ren Pingsheng's eyes as he prepared to find an opportunity to eliminate this person. He wasn’t magnanimous enough to remain indifferent after being harmed by someone else.
When Chu Tian saw Ren Pingsheng in the crowd, his expression changed slightly. However, he seemed confident in his own strength and quickly dismissed it from his mind. After all, it was impossible to cause fatalities within the Academy, where safety was guaranteed. Moreover, he believed that with his strength, he was fully capable of protecting himself.
After clarifying the sequence of events, the remaining sixty Bronze Ranking Disciples submitted their Jade Tablets and registered their points. Despite many casualties, rankings still needed to continue as rewards for the top three were promised and naturally needed to be fulfilled.
“It seems our information is correct; this Demon Soul Valley indeed suppresses the original Demon Emperor, rather than what Xuanjian Sect claimed—that the Demon Emperor was killed,” an elder remarked softly upon hearing reports from below.
"The abnormalities of the Demonized Beasts should not be mistaken. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent those Little Ones to carry out such a mission; we've already suffered considerable losses this time," said Outer Court Lord Li Yun. It turns out that they had their own motives for sending the Bronze Ranking Disciples on this mission. No wonder the Reward is so generous; it is a Top Tier secret technique.
"But that's the Demon Emperor. Shouldn't you reconsider?" another elder asked with some concern.
"Heh, what of the Demon Emperor? It's been two thousand years; he is already at the end of his strength. All four of us are sect-level powerhouses, and if we join forces, it will definitely be fine. Just think about the treasures in the Demon Emperor's collection and the techniques to become an Emperor-Level Expert," the first elder said, his expression somewhat excited.
"Uh, alright!" With that, the other three agreed.
"Haha, then let's all prepare; we will start in a month." From their conversation, it seemed these four were planning to target the Demon Soul Valley and the Demon Emperor. If only they knew that the Demon Emperor had already left the Demon Soul Valley, what would their expressions be?
Although they had meticulously planned and gone unnoticed, it was a pity that an unexpected incident involving Ren Pingsheng doomed their efforts to be in vain.
In just one day, the points of sixty Bronze Ranking Disciples had been registered and ranked. The new Bronze Ranking was reopened. The Outer Court Square attracted many disciples to watch. In previous Bronze Rankings, there were one hundred ranks, but this time there were only sixty. This left many disciples who were unaware of the situation surprised and discussing among themselves, wondering what had happened.
"Quiet down! This time, the Bronze Ranking Disciples faced significant danger during their mission. Therefore, out of the original one hundred, only sixty remain. That is why this Ranking has only sixty positions. After discussion, it has been decided that the remaining forty ranks will be re-evaluated among you. Prepare yourselves; in two days, there will be a Duel. Get ready," explained Li Yun, leaving a group of stunned disciples behind. However, the entire Outer Court Square erupted in chaos.
"No way! Forty people died on this mission? These are Bronze Ranking Disciples, our strongest group! What kind of mission did they undertake?" one disciple exclaimed in shock. In their minds, a Perfect Realm Warrior was already an impressive existence, yet now forty had perished.
"I don't know, but it must have been a very dangerous mission; otherwise, so many wouldn't have died," another disciple chimed in, though his gaze wandered as he looked at some familiar Bronze Ranking Disciples, hoping to catch some news.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed; those who survived among the Bronze Ranking Disciples merely checked their rankings and left one by one—some happy, some indifferent, and some expressionless. No one spoke much about the mission either, which only made those eager for answers more anxious.
"Haha, an opportunity has come! The Bronze Ranking! I want to get on the Bronze Ranking!” Some capable disciples immediately became excited. They had previously been unable to enter the Bronze Ranking due to their lower strength, but now with forty spots opened up, this was their chance. As long as their strength was sufficient, they could make it.
"There must be a spot for me in the Bronze Ranking," another disciple declared boldly. These disciples were all at least High-Level Warriors, with several even being at the level of Perfect Realm Warriors.
In short, the Outer Court suddenly became lively again due to the additional forty positions in the Bronze Ranking. Many ambitious disciples were excited. No one cared about the forty deceased Bronze Ranking Disciples; perhaps some were even cheering in their hearts, because if they were still alive, there would be no opportunity for others to rise.
"Oh, I actually ranked Sixth." Upon seeing his ranking in the Bronze Ranking, Ren Pingsheng was surprised. He had spent very little time on tasks, and when he left, he only had twelve hundred points in the Jade Tablet. He originally thought he might not even make it into the top ten, but unexpectedly, he was Sixth.
However, considering that they later encountered a Second-Level Monster, he understood. Many must have fled and subsequently did not dare to return. Instead, they either left entirely or found a place to hide, which explained why the points were generally not very high. Those in the top five likely ventured back into the Demon Soul Valley, which accounted for their high rankings.
Especially the top three, each with over two thousand points. Thinking about the Reward for the top three, which included Treasure and weapons for Martial Master Realm Martial Artists, their frenzied performance made sense.
In fact, after leaving the Demon Emperor, there was not much danger in the Demon Soul Valley. As long as they were not besieged by large groups of Demonized Beasts and did not venture too deep, given their cultivation levels, there was not much risk. However, few could seize such opportunities. Otherwise, there would likely have been fierce competition on the ranking board.
"This Bai Mu is quite impressive; I didn't expect him to rank at Twenty." As Ren Pingsheng continued to look down the list, he spotted a familiar name. Initially entering the Bronze Ranking with his High-Level Warrior cultivation, Bai Mu not only survived but also achieved a respectable ranking.
Looking further down, he noticed that Lan Shaoqiu ranked thirty-two, Feng Yi ranked fifty, and Chu Yanran ranked fifty-four. Among these familiar faces, their rankings varied. However, aside from the top three, there wouldn't be much difference in the Reward they received.
Regarding the cheers and discussions of those disciples around him, Ren Pingsheng merely glanced at them before turning to leave. The competition for the Bronze Ranking no longer concerned him; it was all about the struggle among the last forty positions and would not affect him. Naturally, he had no interest in staying there.
For him, aside from earning points, his ranking in the Bronze Ranking held little significance. Now that he no longer needed to worry about points and had already attained the cultivation of a Perfect Realm Warrior, his next step was to fully dedicate himself to training for a breakthrough.
This experience made him realize that his strength was still weak; he could not even compare to that Crimson Blood Hand Li Kun. However, killing Crimson Blood Hand Li Kun was a promise he had made initially. Therefore, he urgently needed to break through his cultivation level so that next time they met, he would have the ability to kill him.
Additionally, regarding his relationship with Chu Yanran, gaining her family's approval required sufficient capability. All these factors drove him to avoid any slackness.
