Chapter 612: Malthus's warning
The rules of the Ring Challenge are that you start from the last place in the ranking, and the challenger cannot be ten places higher than you, of course, if you win, you can continue to challenge when it is your turn to be the latest ranking.
If you are strong enough, you can challenge all the way to the first place, but don't forget, no matter how strong you are to challenge people all the way, no matter how strong you are, you will consume a lot of energy, and it is more difficult to challenge you continuously than to directly challenge the last place, and you will also face challenges from others.
This approach also ensures that high-ranking students will not fall directly to the trough because of a victory or defeat.
However, it is different when it comes to the top 50, the gap in strength between them will not be too big, and it is difficult for anyone to succeed if they really have to challenge again and again, so they only need to enter the top 50 to challenge the students in the front without restrictions.
"Shaoyang, you have a lot of trouble today, among the top fifty we have here, the lowest ranking is Bu Qingyun in forty-one, otherwise, if it is his turn to challenge, no one has challenged you, let him challenge you, you directly admit defeat, so as not to fight with others later." Paul half-jokingly suggested.
He is also out of good intentions, if he really lets some people do something with Shaoyang, they rely on their cultivation to be high, I don't know if they will deliberately embarrass Shaoyang, it is better to avoid fighting as much as possible.
When it was rumored that Shaoyang's cultivation had not changed, Paul also asked Shaoyang for verification, and naturally the answer he got was that Shaoyang's cultivation was still in the middle of the seventh level, and he mistakenly thought that Shaoyang's strength had not changed.
"No need, maybe you can't wait for Bu Qingyun at all. Shaoyang didn't explain too much.
In his opinion, those people are probably ready to challenge themselves, and as soon as they enter the top 50, it may be his turn to play, and when the time comes, Paul and the others will know their strength.
In other words, in fact, the challenges ahead are very interesting, when you reach the top 50, you are not sure of winning, and you will not make a move easily, but after 50, it is different, basically there will be a lot of changes every month.
Like Cao Chong, he was in the top 50 in the Freshman Challenge at the beginning, and then because his cultivation was not high, his ranking fell ten places every month, and it was not until three months later that his cultivation reached the fifth level before it stabilized at eighty.
It's a pity that there is no if, in this ring challenge, he fell ten places again, there is no way, no matter how he can fight beyond the level, he can't match the gap between the two big levels caused by the seventh-level cultivation.
"Cao Chong, don't be wonderful, give you some more time, and you will be able to call back soon. Everyone comforted Cao Chong.
They all knew that Cao Chong had not used special means to improve his cultivation, the purpose was to wait for his own cultivation to reach the seventh level, and then break through to the eighth level in one fell swoop, when the time came, with Cao Chong's ability to cultivate both demons and martial arts, Chun Yu Jingyao and the others did not dare to guarantee a steady victory, unless the cultivation could always be one or two small levels ahead of Cao Chong, but thinking of Cao Chong's progress in the past six months, they couldn't help but secretly scold the pervert.
The peak cultivation of the fifth level can break through at any time, and the sixth to seventh level should not take much time for him.
The challenges in the ring continued, and among Shaoyang and a group of them, there were also many people who had played, winning and losing, not that those who lost did not work hard to cultivate, but that under the leadership of Shaoyang, their initial rankings were too high, which was somewhat similar to Cao Chong's situation.
Finally, it was the turn of the top fifty to play, and the moment the fiftieth person stepped into the ring, Shaoyang felt a burning gaze.
Wu Lai, a seventh-level peak fire warrior, had fought side by side in the nest of life and death that day, but they didn't have much contact.
"I didn't expect to be the first to look for me, do you really think I'm a bully?" Shaoyang touched his nose and smiled bitterly, knowing that he would become the target of the top fifty to challenge, but he didn't expect to start so soon.
"I'm going to challenge the forty-third Cali!" Unexpectedly, Wu Lai did not choose Shaoyang as the challenge target in the end, but found a forty-three to challenge.
This choice is very wise, after forty-five, even if he wins, it is of little significance, and further up he does not have much confidence, forty-one to forty-five is the most suitable choice.
The opponent named Cali is also a seventh-level peak warrior, and the quality of this class of freshmen is indeed good, among the top fifty students, except for a few people, almost all of them are above the seventh-level peak, and even the teacher in charge of the referee is very surprised, but there are more surprises.
The battle between the two seventh-level peak warriors was quite exciting, causing cheers from the audience from time to time, but in Shaoyang's eyes, it was like a child fighting, full of flaws.
The battle ended quickly, and in the end, Wu Lai won by a narrow margin, and the gap between the two cultivators was not large, but Wu Lai consolidated better and had a stronger grasp of strength, thanks to the last battle of life and death to exterminate the demonic beasts.
After that, the challenge continued, and every time Shaoyang thought that someone was going to challenge him, except for the companions around him, which one was on the field, and his eyes were abnormal, as if he was a piece of fat, they wanted to swallow it, but they didn't dare, which made Shaoyang inexplicable.
Until the challenger was already the top twenty students, no one had ever challenged Shaoyang, not only Shaoyang, but even the companions around him were very confused.
You must know that they all thought at the beginning that many people would find a sense of accomplishment in challenging Shaoyang for the sake of ranking first for a while.
"This rhythm is not right, what is going on? None of them challenged Shaoyang, but looking at their eyes, it is clear that they really want to challenge, right?" Shao Zhengye wondered, and the others were equally puzzled, until Jeffrey came back from nowhere.
"I seem to know what the reason is?" Jeffrey sold the pass, but before he could make a few efforts, he was frightened by everyone's threatening gaze and hurriedly confessed, "Except for us, the top fifty have all received a warning from Malthus that they are not allowed to challenge Shaoyang." ”
When Malthus heard the name, it was immediately clear to everyone, so it was.
Shaoyang is the first among the students, and the second place has been occupied by Malthus, last year, Malthus has not challenged Shaoyang, even Malthus does not have the confidence to defeat Shaoyang, and others dare not dare.
Now I know that Shaoyang's cultivation has not improved, there is more than one person who is tempted, even Malthus doesn't want to let go of the opportunity, and he happens to be the second place, if before, whoever defeated Shaoyang, he would not have the opportunity to challenge Shaoyang.
"Or we will do Paul's suggestion. Thinking of Malthus, Chun Yu Jingyao and the others couldn't help but shudder, especially Carol, she had personally experienced that if Shaoyang cultivated to keep up, it would be okay, and now, even if they knew that Shaoyang's strength was not as simple as the average mid-level seventh, they were very worried.
