Monthly Battle for the Rankings (2)

After the announcement, Xiao Yan was thinking about what to do. She was already in third place and there was almost no difference if she holds any places in the top 10 as they only have differences of 10 points. What she wanted was to fight the other students. It was then she heard the teacher announce something.

"Those that are ranked in the top 10 will have an additional 500 points. The rank 3,2 and 1 will get an additional 100, 150, and 300 points respectively."

Xiao Yan beamed, "Now more people will want to challenge me!"

For her, the points were not particularly important other than being used to enter the Cultivation Pagoda. She could use gold to buy the items she would need. She attended school to fight other students on a similar level and also for experience.

As for Mu Yue, she decided to prioritize winning than fighting others. If possible, she will try to end the match in a draw. She has limited savings that's why every point matters to her. Especially now that she must look for items that could help nourish her constitution.

"Before we begin, we have to remind you all. It is forbidden to bring one-time use items to the arena. You can only use healing pills after the fight. If you are caught cheating, you will be kicked out of the rankings and given a major warning."

During the first half of the event, 13 students lost consciousness and were not able to wake up in time. They were then placed at the bottom rankings. There were also students who got carried away by the fighting that the teachers have to intervene.

Those ranked 30 to 11 were constantly getting challenged by lower rankers every time they were available. Good thing there was a 30-minute interval for them to rest or they might have already got drained of energy.

"The first half of the event is over! No more challenges can be issued, the second half will resume one hour after these students finish their battles."

When the students of the rank 30 and above finished their fights, they use the time to rest and prepare for the incoming battles.

When the second half has begun, those in the top 10 quickly challenged the people in the top 3. Because only one person can challenge at a time and those higher ranker's challenge will be prioritized, four of the top 10 rankers were quickly challenged by those in the lower ranks.

Xiao Yan and Li Jie temporarily decided to not challenge the person above them and just defend their positions. Xiao Yan was challenged by a student at the Initial level 4th step Qi Condensation stage while Jun Qing challenged Li Jie.

(The student in the 4th step was one of the 14-year-old Peak level 3rd step cultivators that broke through)

Fei Hong sent a challenge to Mu Yue. They both proceeded to a battle stage to fight. Mu Yue plans to conserve her energy and fight sparingly. She still had to at least fight three times after this.

"I wanted to win the first place fairly so I decided to challenge you when your energy is full. I will be fighting with all my strength. Sorry if you will be low on energy after this." Fei Hong said.

"It's fine. The others will do the same either way." Mu Yue said back.

Mu Yue decided not to use spells as they use more energy compared to using the sword.

Fei Hong dashed straight to Mu Yue when the battle started. He then threw a punch towards her. Mu Yue dodged sideways and launched a counterattack which was then blocked by Fei Hong.

Mu Yue then jumped back. Fei Hong followed Mu Yue and they exchanged blows. Mu Yue kept on distancing herself from Fei Hong after launching an attack. This was noticed by Fei Hong so he decided to boost his body.

"It's true that you could waste time by distancing yourself away from me. Unfortunately for you, I specialize in speed." Fei Hong shouted as he quickly closes the distance.

Fei Hong was faster in movement speed so he was able to ignore the distance Mu Yue tried to create. Seeing this, Mu Yue decided to launch attacks that Fei Hong has to block. To stop this, Fei Hong decided to start using Martial Techniques.

"Shock Punch"

Mu Yue placed her sword in front of her to block. The punch was blocked but she was still hit by an invisible force.
