It was getting late, and Mao Rui did not immediately go to the registration office set by Buddhism and Confucianism to sign up, but followed the two to a temporary residence set up by the Mao people in the imperial capital.

It takes a year to contest for this ranking, so as long as you sign up a month before the final ranking is finalized, you will be eligible to participate.

As for the ranking, it all depends on personal strength, and it has nothing to do with the order of registration.

Even if you are the first to sign up, but your strength is not as good as others, you can still only be at the bottom.

And now, it has only been a month, and Mao Rui doesn't need to worry at all.

The temporary residence of the Mao people in the imperial capital is a large villa located in the east of the city.

The villa is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, many rooms, and it is not a problem to live more than a dozen Mao people who came to participate in the rankings, as well as two Jindan elders.

As soon as Mao Rui entered the gate of the villa, he was met by a young man who was about to go out.

The young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and dark/black skin, giving people a very healthy feeling.

There were more than a dozen people living in the villa, and there were people in and out of the gate, which was normal, Mao Rui didn't care, glanced at the dark/black young man, and passed him directly.

"Are you Mao Rui?" asked the young man suddenly after Mao Rui walked past the swarthy/black youth.

"It's me, what's wrong. The swarthy/black young man didn't look back when he asked, and Mao Rui replied without looking back.

"I'll go out to run errands now, and when I come back, let's fight!"

The words 'let's fight' were said very loudly by the dark/black youth, and many people in the villa cast curious glances.

After the dark/black young man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mao Rui to reply, bypassed Mao Zhe and Mao Hao, and left from the gate of the villa, leaving Mao Rui with a confused face.

"Who is this person?" After being stunned for a moment, Mao Rui turned around and asked Mao Zhe and Mao Hao.

"The only grandson of the patriarch, Mao Yuan, was once the heir of the patriarch of the Mao clan. You have to be careful, that guy is a battle maniac, and it will be a problem to get entangled by him. Mao Zhe mechanically introduced Mao Rui.

"The former patriarch heir, and now, who is it?" asked Mao Rui curiously.

Mao Hao, who was half a body behind Mao Zhe, winked at Mao Rui, and his mouth snuggled at Mao Zhe.

"Uh... Okay, what's the matter with the battle madness? Judging from the strength of his qi and blood, he doesn't seem to be physical, right?" As for Mao Zhe to become the new patriarch heir of the Mao clan, Mao Rui was stunned for a moment before continuing to ask.

Mao Hao: "No, a very pure monk, in addition to spells, only has the means to control the attack of spiritual weapons. ”

"A physical cultivator has become a battle maniac, I've heard of it, he is an ordinary monk, and he is also a battle maniac, how long can he be crazy with his weak body?

Mao Rui felt very puzzled, it stands to reason that those who can become battle maniacs are generally physical cultivation, and only physical cultivation can rely on their strong physical bodies to constantly fight with others.

"Mao Yuan... He's a terrible guy who loves to fight and challenges people everywhere. ”

"If he wins, nothing happens, and if he loses, he will go back to heal and learn from his experience, and when his injuries are healed, he will regroup and challenge the man who defeated him again. Mao Zhe hesitated for a moment, and said with a slightly unnatural face.

"Hehe, Brother Rui, a month after your absence, Mao Yuan ended his retreat. Mao Yuan, who had just come out, directly challenged Brother Zhe. Mao Hao said with a smile.

"The result?"

"Eighteen battles, Brother Zhe won seventeen, and in the last battle, Brother Zhe was really annoyed by him, so he simply released the water and let Mao Yuan win. Mao Hao briefly told Mao Rui about some interesting things that happened during the year when Mao Rui was not in the Mao tribe.

"I understand, when he came to me to challenge, I deliberately put down the water and lost to him. ”

"If you don't use two Jindan cultivation blood guards and firearms, even if you don't release water, you may not be able to win against him. Mao Zhe said lightly.

"So strong?" Mao Rui was surprised.

According to him, Mao Zhe can win the opponent seventeen times in a row, and this person named Mao Yuan should not be too strong.

"A mediocre person can't be the heir to the patriarch. Mao Zhe dropped a sentence lightly and went back to his room alone.

Indeed, the head of a family, in addition to excellent management skills, also needs to have a certain strength.

Otherwise, if the patriarch is too weak, and someone below is making trouble, what can be done to stop it?

"He's showing off his new patriarch heir, not a mediocre person?" asked Mao Rui to Mao Hao.

Mao Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go, Brother Rui, I'll take you to meet the two Jindan elders and let them know that you're here." ”

Mao Rui nodded, and followed Mao Hao to meet the two elders.

After a few casual words with the two elders, the two said goodbye and left, Mao Hao found a vacant room for Mao Rui, let him live in, and then returned to his room.

After a night without incident, Mao Rui slept until noon the next day.

After getting up, I found Mao Hao, inquired about the registration office, and went to sign up alone.

The registration office was set up in a Confucian school in the imperial capital, and a large hall of the school was temporarily requisitioned for some registration procedures.

Mao Rui originally thought that this place would be relatively deserted, but after coming here, he found that there were really a lot of people here, all of whom looked like teenagers.

'So many people have signed up?' Mao Rui wondered.

After listening to the conversation of others in the crowd for a while, I realized that in addition to the purpose of registration, the ranking of the leaderboard will be updated in real time.

And most of these people come to pay attention to the change of rankings, and they come to sign up like Mao Rui, less than a handful of them.

In the corner of the main hall there is a table, on which is placed a sign with the word 'registration'.

At this moment, the table was empty, and the boy behind the table who was in charge of signing up was napping there because he had nothing to do.

Mao Rui came to the table and knocked on the table to wake up the boy who was napping.

"Senior, do you need anything?" The boy is about ten years old, and his cultivation is even lower, with only three levels of Qi training.

After being woken up by Mao Rui, he asked very respectfully.

After living for twenty-two years, it was the first time he was called a senior, Mao Rui was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, coughed lightly and said, "Cough, I'm here to sign up, what are the processes?"

"If you sign up, please ask the seniors to pay ten spirit stones, and tell them about the cultivation, name or path number, and the force to which they belong, if there is no force, they will be included in the ranks of scattered cultivation. ”

This sentence, in the past month or so, the boy has said many times, perhaps numb, when he speaks, the tone is quite mechanical.

"Do you still have to hand over spirit stones to sign up?" asked Mao Rui.

Mao Hao never mentioned the matter of Jiao Lingshi to him.

"Yes, senior, after signing up, we will give you a special jade plaque, and after arranging a competition for you, we will notify you through the jade plaque. And the spirit stone of the predecessor is actually used to pay the cost of the jade plate. The boy continued to mechanically introduce.

took out ten jade slips and threw them on the table, Mao Rui said: "Mao clan, Mao Rui, cultivate... The practice of Qi is complete. ”

Mao Rui originally wanted to make his cultivation a place to report so that he could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but after thinking about it, the cultivation of Qi Cultivation was already a kind of disguise for him, a person who was close to him and a monk in the middle stage of the foundation building foundation of the ability battle.

"Okay senior, please wait a minute, this will make your special jade plate for you. The boy said mechanically, took out a jade plate, and began to input Mao Rui's information.

Halfway through the jade plaque, the boy suddenly raised his head, looked at Mao Rui and said in astonishment: "Ah... Senior, you... You're Maory?"

"What's wrong?" asked Maory, frowning and looking around.

Under the boy's shout, everyone in the hall turned their eyes and looked at Mao Rui curiously.

"I'm sorry, senior, I was excited for a while, and I caused you trouble. The boy also discovered his gaffe, and admitted his mistake to Mao Rui with some fear.

Mao Rui could clearly feel the deep fear of the boy, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.

"Let's go into more detail, what's going on. Mao Rui felt strange at this phenomenon and whispered to the boy.

Under Mao Rui's cheers, the boy said what he knew at once.

After the boy's narration, Mao Rui understood.

It turned out that somehow, the story of Mao Rui's battle with eight people yesterday was spread.

The rumor that Mao Rui defeated eight people alone made ninety percent of the people who participated in the ranking competition known.

Knowing the reason, Mao Rui didn't care about the curious eyes of the people around him.

After the boy finished making the special jade plate that belonged to him, he took the jade plate and turned to leave.

After Mao Rui left, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The resentment on Mao Rui's body made everyone feel very depressed.

"This is Mao Rui who fought against eight yesterday?"

Looking at him, it was as if he was facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. ”

"With one against eight, I don't know which eight are facing you. ”

"I know that Mao Rui is facing: Mao Zhe and Mao Hao of the Mao Clan, Kong Chenghong who belongs to the country, the evil monk of Jinguang Temple, the sword cultivation of the Wanyue Gate, Zhanbi, the Huangpu Rong of the Huangpu family, the Dongfang Shenli of the Dongfang clan, and the other one is the burly loose cultivator, Xiang Bai. ”

"Oh my God, these eight people? These eight people, but they are all in the top 30. ”

"I heard that after Mao Rui defeated the eight people, he also extorted a large amount of spirit stones from the eight people, and asked the eight people to buy their lives. ”

Mao Rui walked out of the main hall and flew directly back to the villa of the Mao clan, naturally ignorant of everyone's discussions.

During the flight, Mao Rui played with the special jade plaque in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The whole body of the jade brand is made of fine white jade, which is warm and moist to the touch.

On one side is engraved the words 'Buddha' and 'Confucian', and on the other side, the basic information that Mao Rui just reported and Mao Rui's current ranking are written.

The divine sense penetrated into it, and the internal structure was similar to that of the communication jade slip, but it was different.

Mao Rui guessed that the difference should be used to update his ranking in real time.

In this way, if you want to check your own ranking, you only need to check a jade plate, which is also convenient.

As for the ranking of others, if you want to know, you have to go to the registration office to inquire.
