When the Great Elder Lu asked the sixteenth-ranked monk codenamed "One Sword", the latter stood up and said, "My subordinates want to challenge!"

"Very well, who is the little friend of the sword going to challenge?" asked the Great Elder Deer.

The middle-aged man, codenamed "One Knife", pointed to Li Muran, who was not far away, and said, "My subordinates challenge the greedy Taoist friends!"

There was a lot of noise among the people, and it was indeed a good choice to challenge greed. First, among these top-ranked demon body stage monks, they have all been famous for a long time, and their strength has undergone all kinds of tests, none of them are vain, only the greedy charm has only recently become famous, replacing Yuan Sha to occupy the current ranking;

Although it is only a difference in the small realm, it will not cause a qualitative change in the supernatural power of the exercises, but the difference in the small realm will also make a difference in strength, and in the competition between masters, the subtle difference in strength can often determine the final victory or defeat.

Elder Lu said with a smile: "Greedy Xiaoyou, a virtuous nephew with a knife challenges Xiaoyou, I wonder if Xiaoyou dares to fight?"

Li Muran stood up, saluted Elder Lu and Yidao successively, and said quietly: "My subordinates admit defeat and are willing to give up this ranking and exchange rankings with Yidao friends." ”

"What?" Elder Lu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Can you think about it clearly, once you admit defeat, your ranking and status will drop greatly! Why doesn't Xiaoyou face a battle, maybe there are still some chances of winning!"

Li Muran shook his head: "Thank you Great Elder for mentioning something, my subordinates have decided to give up the battle!"

Everyone was talking about it again, privately speculating about the reason why Li Muran gave up directly. Some people think that Li Muran knows that his strength is not good; some people think that these two people have secretly fought each other, so they know each other's strength; and some people even speculate that these two people have secretly reached some kind of agreement, so they do not fight each other and rank each other.

In fact, Li Muran didn't know this "knife" at all, and today it was the first time he had seen this person. The reason why he avoided the war was simply because he didn't want to waste his mana. He had fought against Yuan Sha before, and he knew that the top-ranked monks of the Tianzhu Sect were indeed extremely strong.

Although he killed Yuan Sha at the beginning, he was seriously injured, and it took many years of meditation to recover. This one-knife ranking sixteenth, it will not be much worse than the twelfth place Yuan Sha, and if it fights with it, even if it wins in the end, it will cost him a lot of True Yuan mana.

And the twelve and sixteen, all within twenty, are all considered to be the highest-ranking demon body stage cultivators in the Tianzhu Sect, although there is a certain difference between Yu Lu and others, but Li Muran doesn't care much about this.

Great Elder Lu nodded: "Okay, since the greedy little friend gave up directly, then the ranking will be changed!"

With that, he pointed to the scroll of the ranking list, exchanging the names of "greed" and "one knife" with each other.

Li Muran originally thought that the matter would settle down, but he didn't expect that a moment later, another monk surnamed Lin would challenge him.

This monk surnamed Lin is also a late-stage cultivator of the Demon God, ranking in the twenty-fourth.

Li Muran frowned and asked, "Is this fellow Daoist also qualified to challenge Zaixia?" Zaixia has already accepted a challenge, isn't it true that every monk only has one chance to challenge?"

Elder Lu said with a smile: "It seems that the greedy little friend doesn't know the rules and regulations of the challenge very clearly. In principle, each monk can only challenge once, and will only accept one challenge. However, if the challenger fails, other monks can continue to challenge him! If the challenger fails, he may also be challenged by a lower-ranked monk!"

"Only those who win the challenge will be exempted from any other challenges, and the ranking will be fixed from now on. ”

"Therefore, the greedy little friend must win the challenge, otherwise, other monks with lower rankings are likely to continue to challenge the greedy little friend, and if the greedy little friend avoids the battle, the ranking will drop again and again!"

"This Lin Xiaoyou is ranked twenty-four, and he was not qualified to challenge the greedy little friend who ranked twelfth, but now the ranking of the greedy little friend has been reduced to sixteenth, and the difference between him and Lin Xiaoyou is eight places, according to the rules of this sect, only the gap is within ten places, Lin Xiaoyou is indeed qualified to challenge the greedy little friend!"

"The rules of this sect are to let the strong monks stand out, so that the ranking of the ranking list corresponds well to their own strength, once the strength drops greatly, it will not be able to keep the ranking!

"I see!" Li Muran glanced at the monk surnamed Lin, and snorted coldly, this kind of monk ranked twenty miles away, originally did not dare to challenge him who was ranked twelfth, it seems that his previous initiative to avoid the war made some people think that he was weak by nature and not strong, and he could be defeated.

Although Li Muran didn't particularly care about his position on the ranking list, he couldn't accept the position of twenty-four!

Because twenty monks outside the academy may also be targeted. As long as the client pays enough money, they can also buy their lives!

However, the monks within the twenty rankings are the core monks of the Tianzhumen, not only do they have a higher status, but also the Tianzhumen has clear rules, no matter what high price or any force, they cannot commit murder against the monks in the top twenty of the Tianzhumen, otherwise the Tianzhumen will be investigated to the end.

Therefore, Li Muran still attaches great importance to the position in the top 20. Once he falls out of the twenty places, the crown family may take him as a target and buy his life with a huge amount of magic crystals!

Previously, Li Muran took the initiative to avoid the battle because there was no essential difference between the twelve and the sixteen, but the difference between the sixteenth and the twenty-four is not small!

"The subordinates accept the challenge and are willing to compete with this Lin Daoyou!" Li Muran said quietly.

"Okay!" Elder Lu said: "Greedy Little Friend is currently ranked higher, and he has the right to decide the way to challenge, whether to compete openly on the high platform of the main hall, or to compete with Lin Daoyou in the practice room in private?

Li Muran groaned for a moment and replied, "The subordinates choose the second type!"

Elder Lu nodded, he took out two three-inch small pennants from his sleeve and handed them to Li Muran and the monk surnamed Lin respectively: "I have already set up several practice rooms, and you two can enter one of them with this array of flags." If it is not low, just activate this flag again, and you can leave the practice room and return to the main hall. ”

Li Muran and the monk surnamed Lin each took over a formation flag, and after each of them was activated, they disappeared into the main hall under a roll of light.

Elder Lu said aloud: "I don't know how long it will take for the two little friends to decide the winner, Elder Ben continues to ask the other monks if they want to launch a challenge! We have prepared several practice rooms, and other monks can also challenge and compete at the same time. ”

Before the words fell, suddenly a glow flashed in the hall, and a figure appeared in the hall in the glow, it was Li Muran.

"The winner was decided so quickly?!" Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect that the monk surnamed Lin was so powerful, and he actually forced Li Muran to leave the practice room first and return to the main hall in a few breaths!

Elder Lu was also taken aback, and he asked, "Greedy little friend is negligent, he actually lost the challenge so quickly!"

In his opinion, even if Li Muran's cultivation was low and he was inferior to the monk surnamed Nalin, he would not be able to resist even a few breaths.

Li Muran shook his head and said lightly: "Elder Lu misunderstood, his subordinates didn't lose the competition!"

Elder Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "According to the rules of this sect, the monk who leaves the practice room first will lose the competition. ”

Li Muran said: "There are exceptions, as far as my subordinates know, what if only one person comes out of the practice room?"

"Only one person came out?" Elder Lu's face changed: "You mean that Lin Xiaoyou has already been killed by you?!No wonder he hasn't shown up for a long time!"

Generally speaking, after the losing team is forced to leave the studio, the winner will not stay for long, and will immediately leave the studio and accept the victory. And Li Muran has been there for a while, but he has not seen the figure of the monk surnamed Lin for a long time. This shows that the monk surnamed Nalin is already more than lucky!

According to the rules of the Heavenly Sect, in order to let the monks go all out during the challenge, there is no restriction on life and death fighting! In other words, if the opponent is killed in the challenge, he will not be punished by the sect!

"Could it be that in the short period of time just now, this greedy demon has already killed the monk surnamed Lin?" Everyone was extremely shocked, and even some elders of the Mahayana period couldn't help but look at Li Muran a few more times.

Originally, there were a few elders, but after they appeared on the ranking list, they just glanced at their rankings lightly, and they kept closing their eyes and concentrating, silent. But at this moment, they couldn't help but open their eyes and looked at Li Muran curiously.

"My subordinates are not interested in killing people today!" Li Muran said calmly, with a wave of his robe, a figure flashed out of it, it was the monk surnamed Nalin!

However, at this time, the monk surnamed Lin was motionless and passed out, only the faint breath remaining on his body showed that he was not a dead man!

"Although his subordinates didn't take his life, but he hit a little heavier, this Lin Daoyou may not be able to make any more moves during the entire ranking ceremony!" Li Muran said lightly.

With that, Li Muran stretched out his hand to grab the void, and one after another demonic qi was withdrawn from the body of the monk surnamed Na Lin, and turned into a little black light and dispersed.

After the prohibition in his body was removed, the monk surnamed Lin woke up slowly.

"Where am I, what's going on?" the monk Lin patted his forehead gently, and for a moment his mind seemed to go blank, and he couldn't remember anything.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they didn't know what kind of magic power this mysterious "greedy charm" had exerted, and he actually subdued a strong enemy in an instant, and the opponent didn't even know what happened!
