Chapter 201: Challenging The Leaderboard!

　　Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

　　Boom!!

　　Thunder boomed across the world like the roars of a crazy dragon.

　　Immediately after, dark clouds loomed above their heads as they roared madly and lightning snakes surged.

　　Bathed in golden lightning, Lin Ye reflected the lightning clouds above him.

　　“Crimson Palace Lightning, come!”

　　As soon as he finished his sentence. Boom!!!

　　A thick and powerful golden pillar of lightning descended from the sky.

　　In an instant, the entire area centered around Lin Ye was enveloped in a lightning domain.

　　Golden light flashed and thunder rumbled. It was a spectacular scene.

　　Crack—

　　In a short while, hundreds of mechanical dogs, wolves, and leopards were attacked by lightning.

　　A puff of gray smoke rose.

　　One by one, they fell to the ground as if they were drunk.

　　“Universal Pull!”

　　Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally over. He gathered the pile of spirit stones from afar.

　　Other than the three pills that Tru wasted from the previous harvest, there were still 215 left on the scene and from the previous harvest.

　　“You have received 215 Low-grade spirit stones.”

　　100xReward.

　　“You have received 21,500 Low-grade spirit stones.”

　　With the lesson from last time, before the spirit stones multiplied this time, he directly kept them into his interspatial ring.

　　“Is this… the end?” Tru asked, not quite satisfied.

　　After consuming the Level 4 Spirit Cleansing Pill, his mind was clear and his body was full of energy. He was having a good time killing when his invincible lord cleared the area.

　　Sigh, sometimes when the lord was too strong, it was boring. It was such a waste.

　　Otherwise, he would gain another few thousand merit points.

　　“The lord’s strength is getting more and more terrifying!”

　　Luo Feng’s eyes were filled with reverence.

　　The terrifying lightning just now made even him shudder with fear.

　　If he were to be wrapped in it, even if he didn’t die, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.

　　The citizens present were extremely excited by Lin Ye’s strength. Of course, there was one exception.

　　“My lord, Xiaofeng fainted again!” Not far away, Han Qingqing raised her hand anxiously.

　　“It’s fine, it’s fine. Let him eat more Tiger Pills. I just gave them to him. It’s a great supplement. He’ll get used to it in the future.” Lin Ye chuckled.

　　However, he made a mental note to settle the matter of the connate Yang Energy as soon as possible in the future.

　　Constantly borrowing from Li Xiaofeng was not a good thing. If he really sucked him to death, wouldn’t it be a loss?

　　“Okay,” Han Qingqing replied.

　　As expected, she found a medicine bottle in Li Xiaofeng’s hand and quickly opened it to feed him a few.

　　However, he had expended quite a bit this time. When he woke up, he called out ‘Sister’ before turning over and lying on the back of the Earth Demon Bear that Luo Feng had lent him, continuing to sleep soundly.

　　In his sleep, he was speaking nonsense. “Little Fang, I love you so much. Let me cuddle you, okay? I don’t…”

　　Pa!

　　Han Qingqing slapped him and knocked him out.

　　“…” The scene fell silent for a few seconds.

　　“Who is Little Fang?” In the end, Yang Fusheng couldn’t help but ask curiously.

　　“A Daoist nun who has renounced asceticism.”

　　Han Qingqing glared at him angrily. “Why are you asking? You’re not even a human!”

　　“I!!” Yang Fusheng opened his mouth and bared his teeth.

　　“Alright, cut the crap and go over.”

　　Lin Ye shook his head and laughed. An imposter Daoist priest and a Daoist nun?

　　Interesting. Fortunately, both parties had held back. Otherwise, his Five Yang Lightning would not have seen daylight.

　　After thinking for a moment, he sent a voice transmission to Tru, “Go back and keep a close eye on Li Xiaofeng. Don’t let him get close to any women. Go to the underworld and organize a team. Without my orders, you cannot give him the spot!”

　　“Oh, sure.” Tru nodded. He didn’t really understand, but to him, his lord’s words were an imperial decree.

　　With that, everyone got up and ran towards the building.

　　When the first person stepped ten meters into the building, they were shocked.

　　“What’s going on? Why is there a pagoda on the other side!”

　　“That’s right, I didn’t see it earlier. Did you all see it?”

　　“I didn’t!”

　　“Me too, this came out of nowhere!”

　　Below the pavilion, everyone was discussing spiritedly. Yang Fusheng glanced at Lin Ye and could not help but feel envious.

　　He was the only one present who knew the inside story. A ruin usually contained the essence of a civilization left behind by a certain cultivation system.

　　The goal was to find the most suitable successor to the civilization to ensure that their legacy would not perish.

　　Therefore, under such circumstances, the artifact spirit in the ruins would try to determine the talent of the humans who came to challenge it.

　　Once extraordinary talents were discovered, or if they were extremely suitable for their own civilization’s inheritance, the artifact spirit would choose to add an inheritance pagoda.

　　If nothing went wrong, that Lord Zi Yang was the artifact spirit here and he attached importance to Lin Ye’s talent.

　　As expected, after everyone appeared, a white shadow appeared in the air.

　　It was none other than Lord Zi Yang.

　　“Everyone, I knew that we would meet again soon. Very good, very good!”

　　As he spoke, his face was full of smiles. His gaze landed on Lin Ye as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

　　“Did you just use the Five Lightning Technique from Mount Longhu?”

　　“Senior is wise.” Lin Ye nodded with a smile.

　　“Very good. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such pure purple lightning. It’s clear, agile, dignified, bright, open, and fierce. This is the true Five Yang Lightning.”

　　He spouted nonsense.

　　Lord Zi Yang looked at Lin Ye in satisfaction and said almost clearly, “You have fate with Daoism and with my sect.”

　　“Senior is right. Then, may I know the reward for passing the round?” Lin Ye chuckled. Don’t just talk nonsense, give me some benefits.

　　“Little friend is truly interesting, haha.” Lord Zi Yang laughed heartily, as if he had not been so happy in a long time.

　　After laughing, he flicked his sleeve, and a line of text appeared on the road tablet behind everyone.

　　“Leaderboard!”

　　“First place: Xu Yuan. Killed 7 Level 2 mechanical beasts, 3 Level 3 mechanical beasts. Rewarded with 10 Level 2 Gold Light Talismans, and 10 Level 3 Earth Shield Talismans!”

　　“Aiyo, that Xu Yuan fellow is actually on the rankings.”

　　Lin Ye clicked his tongue. When he thought about it, it made sense. That fellow was selfish. Since he challenged the ruin alone, he would at most be up against 10 mechanical beasts.

　　“Senior?” Lin Ye looked at Lord Zi Yang.

　　“Just touch it with your fingers. The stone tablet will automatically collect your information and give you a basic-level trial reward.” Lord Zi Yang smiled faintly.

　　“Tru,” Lin Ye shouted.

　　“I’ll go first.” The latter laughed and slapped the stone tablet.

　　A moment later, new information appeared.

　　“First place: Tru. Killed 5 Level 2 mechanical beasts and 6 Level 3 mechanical beasts. Rewarded with 20 Level 2 Gold Light Talismans and 20 Level 3 Fire Talismans!”

　　Xu Yuan was directly pushed to second place.

　　Whoosh—

　　At the same time, the stone tablet shone with a weak light and two stacks of talismans were thrown out.

　　One was gold and the other was red. They were the Gold Light Talismans and the Fire Talismans.

　　“Not bad. If there is a ruin of a body-tempering sect, it might be suitable for this lad.” Lord Zi Yang stroked his beard happily.

　　“I’ll go too..” Luo Feng was also looking forward to it as he reached out his hand and pressed onto the tablet.
