Chapter 458: Ranking Battle
“Also, one more thing. Although it’s a little rushed, the few of you should make some preparations. Lord Gongye Yuyu said that he wants to re-organize the 13 altar masters, and each altar needs to send two people to partic.i.p.ate in the ranking battle. The prizes seem to be very precious. However, I don’t think it’s something that can be done alone. Therefore, the five of you should choose two people to partic.i.p.ate in this ranking battle. The date will be two days from now.”
It was a sudden occurrence, but this was one of the conventions of the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Every year, a ranking battle would be held to determine the strength of each altar. Although this was a bit unfair, it was an acceptable fact for every altar master.
After all, the battle generals’ strength represented the battle strength of each altar to a large extent. Although there would be a difference, overall, it would not be big.
Of course, in previous years, it had been very difficult for the Demon Slaying Division to win the champions.h.i.+p. After all, other than the Demon Slaying Division, there were also the Wind Moon Altar, the Dark Altar, the Flying Smoke Altar, and the Sacred Fire Altar. They were all altars that were famous for their battle strength. In the past, the Sacred Fire Altar and the Dark Altar were the ones that would obtain first place. Therefore, the Demon Slaying Division rarely came in first.
However, this was something that could not be helped. After all, the Sacred Fire Altar and the Dark Altar were responsible for negotiating with other factions, so it was necessary for them to be strong. As for the Wind Moon Altar, it was mainly because of Gongye Yuyu. The person in charge of protecting him had always been very strong, so the Wind Moon Altar usually would not partic.i.p.ate in the ranking battle.
As for the Flying Smoke Altar, its status was very special.
It was an intelligence organization that only belonged to the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Its strength was unclear, but it was definitely not weak.
In other words, the first place this time would still have to be determined from the Sacred Fire Altar, the Dark Altar, and the Demon Slaying Division, which were the three battle altars.
Of course, Victor did not know the strength of the other two altars, but he was still confident that he could win.
Moreover, the reward for first place was definitely the wind-controlling pill. So, no matter what, Victor could not lose.
However, what surprised Victor was that even Gongye Yuyu had to find an excuse to give him the wind-controlling pill. Victor thought that with Gongye Yuyu’s power, it would be easy for him to obtain the wind-controlling pill.
“I don’t think there’s anything worth hesitating about. For the ranking battle, I must take one spot. As for the other one, feel free to join. Of course, if you are not convinced, I will be in the Golden Crow Hall. You are welcome to challenge me any time.”
After saying that, Victor slowly stood up and left the Blue Luan Hall.
Everyone watched Victor leave. No one said anything to stop him. Even Feng Lian was silent.
Although the others were very displeased with Victor’s extremely arrogant speech, they had no choice. They definitely could not defeat him in a fight. As for Feng Lian, she probably would not say anything.
As for the remaining position, they could not win Long Yi anyway. Hence, Feng Lian’s decision had no play in this.
“Altar master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
“Okay… Sorry, Phoenix General’s personality is a little strange.”
“No worries, if I had his strength, I’d definitely be more arrogant than him.”
The Ape General waved his hand carelessly, turned around, and left directly.
He was a newcomer, so he did not have the advantage to begin with. Moreover, the Tiger General and the Barbarian General had already secretly formed an alliance, and with Long Yi and Victor’s strength, they did not need so-called allies at all. So, ever since he came to the Demon Slaying Division, he had been treading on thin ice every day, he just did not want to cause more trouble.
When he returned to the Ape Hall, he was surprised to see Victor.
Looking at Victor who was sitting on his main seat, the Ape General furrowed his brows, slightly puzzled.
“Phoenix General? Why are you here?”
“Stop, don’t call me that. It was that b*tch Feng Lian who acted on her own and gave me such a t.i.tle. Just call me Brother Zhang.”
Victor waved his hand and slowly stood up, giving way to the main seat.
“Sit, I have something to discuss with you,” Victor said to himself and filled a cup of tea.
Victor’s movements were fluid and natural, which made the Ape General question who was the owner between the two of them…
“Brother… Brother Zhang, why are you looking for me? Just tell me. As long as I can help, I won’t hesitate.”
“Yes, I’m here to look for you. To be more precise, I’m not here to look for your help. I’m here to help you.” Victor chuckled and finished the tea in his cup. He continued, “I don’t want Long Yi to partic.i.p.ate in the ranking battle, but the Tiger General and the Barbarian General have been bullied by Long Yi for too long. Their knees are already rooted to the ground to the extent where they can’t stand up. So, I can only look for you.
“I’ll be straightforward. I want you to partic.i.p.ate in the ranking battle. What do you think?”
Hearing this, the Ape General could not help but feel a little confused despite his shock.
“My strength is not as good as Long Yi’s. Logically speaking, it’s very difficult for me to represent the Demon Slaying Division in the ranking battle. Even if you help, will the Tiger General and the Barbarian General remain silent?
“Therefore, Brother Zhang, please go back. It’s important to know one’s limits. I know what I’m capable of.”
“Don’t be so anxious. Do you think I’ll say a bunch of meaningless things to deceive you? Since I’ve said it, I certainly have my ways. Why don’t you hear me out? Even if it doesn’t suit you, you won’t suffer any losses, right?”
“This… Alright, Brother Zhang, please go ahead.”
“Hmm, I have a rough understanding of your strength. To be honest, it’s not bad. You don’t lose out to the two veteran generals, Tiger General and Barbarian General. As for Long Yi, it goes without saying. You aren’t at the level where you can s.n.a.t.c.h his position away, but I can.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor revealed a meaningful smile. The Ape General quickly understood Victor’s meaning.
“You mean…”
“That’s right. You can challenge me and take away my qualifications. As for me, I will naturally challenge Long Yi and take away his qualifications.”
“But General Long Yi can also take away the qualifications from me, right? In the end, it’ll just be an endless cycle. Moreover, I think what you’re doing is meaningless.”
“It is indeed meaningless. At most, it’s just to disgust him a little. But don’t forget that partic.i.p.ating in the ranking battle is also a symbol of strength. As a newcomer, you should firmly grasp this opportunity to show your strength, shouldn’t you?”
“Uhm, aren’t you also a newcomer?”
“Me? I’m not hoping to show my strength here. I’m partic.i.p.ating to win. There’s no comparison between the two of us. As for your concern, hehe, you can rest a.s.sured. Do you still think that this will be meaningless if some accidents were to happen during the battle between me and Long Yi? Of course, it’s still up to you to settle the matter between the Tiger General and the Barbarian General.”
