Chapter 537 - Challenge the Kicking List

“Is that so…”

Beigong Qin also looked at Xiao Chen. At this moment, the eyes of both of them became sharp. They were like the tips of a needle, pressing against each other.

In the distance, many people started to discuss. “This is Xiao Chen? A newbie who was squeezed down from the Earth Ranking? I heard that he has been fighting with Beigong Qin openly and secretly all the time?”

“Yeah, he defeated Senior Sister Bai Ling in the beginning, and he was able to use his sword very quickly. But in the past half month, he seemed to have become unknown to the public. As the saying goes, it’s easy to fail if you’re too headstrong…”

Because of the sudden arrival of Xiao Chen and the others, those who were still talking about the Mystic Sky Rankings now began to talk about him and Beigong Qin. Needless to say, the new disciples knew that these two people were not harmonious. Most senior disciples had heard rumors about them. The other things were not clear. Anyway, they knew that these two people were fighting each other.

Even those who did not know what was going on were able to guess the tit for tat from the tense atmosphere.

Of course, Xiao Chen completely ignored these discussions. He turned to his side and said, “Let’s go, Chu Qi.”

The group of people walked toward the Mystic Sky Rankings. Along the way, many people were pointing at them and whispering. When they reached the Mystic Sky Rankings, they saw three stone steles with a Kylin on each side, looking very majestic.

The Fire Kylin on the left was 20 feet tall. Its eyes were as bright as lamps, and its entire body was wrapped in a layer of raging flames. With just a glance, it gave off an inexplicable sense of fear and no one dare to approach.

On the right was an icy blue Water Kylin. Of course, these two Kylins were not real Kylins, but Illusory Beasts with offensive properties. This was to prevent people from fighting each other because they did not get along with each other because of rank kicking. This was not like it did not happen in the Cloud Mist Academy in the past.

In addition to the two Illusory Beasts at the Mystic Sky Rankings List, there was also one more Cexuan illusory land Stone Room in the middle. One was used for the ordinary ranking list, and the other was used for rank kicking.

There were many disciples from the Mystic Sky Pavilion sitting in front of the two stone rooms. They were in charge of recording today’s ranking list and the final results. It was obvious that today was a very formal day. It was not like usual days where people come and go as they wish to challenge the rank list.

There was also a green restoration formation on the right. The restoration formation had been increased from the original one to three. There were a few tables next to the formation, and a large group of people was doing something there.

“Junior Brother, are you here to make a list or to place a bet? If you’re here to place your bet, please go over there.” One of the Senior Brothers in front of the stone chamber said to Xiao Chen in a friendly manner. After saying so, he pointed to the area where the restoration formation was.

Xiao Chen looked over there and could not help but feel a little absurd. It turned out that a group of people was gambling. The Cloud Mist Academy openly allowed their disciples to gamble. How nice would it be if Bai Ying were here right now?

But why didn’t Shui Yue show up at this time? According to the senior disciples, Shui Yue seemed to have the title of “Bad Grandmaster”, and she seemed to like gambling as well. It did not make sense that she did not show up at this time.

“Uh, this Junior Brother…” One of the senior brothers who was in charge of the list saw that Xiao Chen was motionless. He smiled and said, “If you want to place your bets, you can go there. There is a specialized senior brother who is responsible for it…”

“We are here to fight for the ranking,” Chu Qi said placidly. This was the third time she had taken the initiative to speak today. When the people nearby heard that they were here to fight for the ranking as expected, they immediately looked over.

Only now did the Senior Brother in charge of the list notice Chu Qi. He could not help but feel stunned. He had never seen such an icy-spirit girl before, and his attitude immediately improved. He said warmly, “I wonder if Junior Sister is here for the Earth Ranking or the Human Ranking? On my side, I’m in charge of the Earth Ranking. If Junior Sister is here for the Human Ranking, you can go to this Senior Brother next to me…”

“We’re here for the Earth Ranking.” Xiao Chen added without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

This time, more and more people looked over and began to whisper. After all, Xiao Chen was pushed down by someone previously. After being silent for a month, was he going to get it back now? Many people began to look forward to the competition there would be between him and Beigong Qin.

In the distance, Beigong Qin kept that faint smile on his face. He wanted to see what kind of tricks Xiao Chen was playing.

The Senior Brother in charge of the list was obviously having the first time on this job today. He did not know Xiao Chen. He just felt that a newcomer with the white badge had entered the Earth Ranking. Was there another newcomer who wanted to challenge the Earth Ranking now? When did the newcomers become so powerful?

After a short moment of absent-mindedness, the Senior Brother quickly came to his senses and said with a smile, “Please register first in the ordinary ranking list.”

“No, it’s not for the ordinary list, it’s for kicking the list,” Xiao Chen said placidly.

“Kick the ranking list?”

The Senior Brother was obviously stunned. Since when are there newcomers who challenge to kick the Earth Ranking? Although the competition at the end of the month had lasted for nearly four hours, everyone was just challenging the ordinary list. No one tried to kick the list because it was easy to provoke hatred. So unless there was enmity, no one would kick the list. After all, enemies were not the best choice to solve problems.

At this moment, many people in the crowd were discussing loudly. They rarely saw anyone kick the list because they would become enemies if they kicked the list. But now, they heard that Xiao Chen was going to kick the list. Was he going to kick the 13th place of Beigong Qin?

There was an uproar in the crowd. Even those who were betting looked at them in surprise. The whole Mystic Sky Pavilion was talking about Xiao Chen. Since Beigong Qin had charged into the 13th place, could Xiao Chen kick him down? After all, if Xiao Chen failed to kick the list, it was equivalent to giving the Mystic Stones to the other party. It would not matter much to lose the Mystic Stones, however that was not the case for one’s pride.

“Heh heh, it’s going to be a good show. He’s going to kick Beigong Qin down. Will the two of them fight later?”

“Puff! If he fails to kick the list, the Mystic Stone paid for kicking will be accumulated to the other party’s Mystic Stone. He is not here to give the Mystic Stones to Beigong Qin, is he?”

Everyone in the crowd had different opinions. Some believed that Xiao Chen could certainly get back the lost ranking after a month of silence. Some believed that Xiao Chen was purely looking for humiliation. Even some senior disciples with purple badges would not dare to say that he could succeed in kicking Beigong Qin down.

In the distance, Beigong Qin folded his arms in front of his chest and looked at Xiao Chen with great interest. He ignored the comments around him and turned a deaf ear to them.

The Senior Brother who was responsible for the ranking felt a little difficult and said with a wry smile, “Junior brother, you don’t really intend to kick those who are in the top 20, do you?”

“Of course not.” Xiao Chen smiled. “I’m going to kick the 57th place.” He pointed to the 57th place on the Earth Ranking of the Mystic Sky Rankings. That person was one of Beigong Qin’s subordinates.

Chu Qi said calmly, “I’m going to kick the 61th one.” She then pointed to the Mystic Sky Rankings.

The people around him were relieved. It turned out that they had picked out two of the worst ones from the Purple Thunder Pavilion. Just now, they really thought that he was going to kick Beigong Qin.

“Cheh, let’s go. I thought he was going to kick Beigong Qin, but it turned out that they found two soft persimmons to pinch.” The crowd immediately booed. Some people even said angrily, “What are you doing! Aren’t you kicking Beigong Qin? I’ve already made a bet. What do you mean by choosing two softies to kick? If you don’t have the ability, get out of here! You wasted my Mystic Stones!”

The crowd kept on cursing. No one knew why they were disappointed. Maybe it was because they thought that Xiao Chen would kick Beigong Qin, but they picked two weaklings. In the distance, Beigong Qin smiled slightly and said, “That’s a little interesting.”

As for the two Purple Thunder Pavilion disciples who were going to be kicked, their faces were ashen. It was not because they were being challenged to be kicked, but it was already good enough for them to enter the Earth Ranking. In the end, they were called softies now. One of them sneered and said, “I’ll just stand here and let you kick. Go and do it!”

Xiao Chen and Chu Qi said no more. Each of them handed over 10 Mystic Stones. After registration, they went to the Mysterious Testing Stone Room on the left, which was located on the list. When they reached the door, the two looked at each other, nodded, and entered.

Many were still discussing, but it was not about Xiao Chen. They were talking about Chu Qi. “That junior sister is so special…”

…

This time, Xiao Chen did not meet the strange Illusory Beast from the last time when he entered the stone room for the ranking list. Instead, he saw a fierce-looking Illusory Beast glaring at him. It looked as if it was the one being kicked.

With a smile, Xiao Chen raised his right palm. Under his palm, a huge ball of white light gradually condensed. With a wave of his arm, the ball of white light dashed toward the Illusory Beast. With a loud boom, the entire stone room shook and the fierce-looking Illusory Beast was directly blown away.

As for kicking the list, it would only be successful after the other party’s Guardian Illusory Beast disappeared within the time limit. Outside, the name of the 57th person on the Earth Ranking faded gradually, and finally, it was replaced by Xiao Chen’s name.

This was the effect of kicking the list. If it was an ordinary ranking, then it meant that the name kept rising, and finally, the ranking would be stabilized at a place where it should be.

“Succeeded! He successfully kicked the list!”

Someone immediately shouted out, and the originally 57th person’s face was as ugly as it was. The pride was just one of the reasons. What was more important was that today was the last day of this month. If he wanted to be on the list, he could only challenge again tomorrow. The final score of this month was gone, and the Mystic Stone rewards were gone as well.

The discussions in the crowd continued. However, before the voices of the crowd could fade, the name of the 61st person gradually faded and finally became the name of Chu Qi.

“Wow! So that Junior Sister’s name is Chu Qi. What a beautiful name. This reminds me of my first love…”

“By the way, my birthday is on the seventh day of the month. It seems that I’m really fated with Junior Sister Chu Qi. This must be the fate that was continued from my previous life. It’s destined that the heaven let Junior Sister Chu Qi come to the Cloud Mist Academy to let us renew our acquaintance…”

“Bah! Where is your face? Where did your face go? Where is your face? Everyone, help me find it. This person’s face is gone!”

“My birthday is also on the seventh of the month. Junior Sister Chu Qi is mine!”

The cheers in the crowd suddenly grew louder, and many people whistled. It seemed that Chu Qi was much more popular than Xiao Chen.

A moment later, Xiao Chen and Chu Qi walked out of the stone room calmly. Qin Tianyu and the rest immediately gathered around them and cheered. Over at the Purple Thunder Pavilion, the expression on their faces was as ugly as ever. They had lost two rankings on the Earth Ranking in such a short amount of time.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and walked over to the Senior Brother, who was in charge of the ranking. The Senior Brother forced a smile. Now you offended the Purple Thunder Pavilion just for the ranking, didn’t you? He said, “Congratulations, Junior Brother and Junior Sister for your success in challenging the rank. Here are 10 Mystic Stone, and the other 10 will be added to the award pool.”

After one succeeded in kicking the list, he could take half Mystic Stone back, but Xiao Chen did not take it. He said, “No need. I’m going to continue to kick the list. This time, I’m going to kick the 53rd one!” As he said this, he pointed to the Mystic Sky Rankings.

“Wow!”

The crowd once again shouted. This time, he was going to kick one of those from the Purple Thunder Pavilion again. Could it be… that he was going to wipe out all the Purple Thunder Pavilion’s people today?
