"We'll need to spend some more time on the matter of the participating disciples. We'll just have to reselect the fourth and fifth disciples in the selection competition. But it may take some more time to search and prepare." Qin Wuyou said somewhat helplessly.
Yun Che suddenly asked, “Palace Master Qin, Senior Sister just said that the ranking of forces in the ranking battle is based on the highest ranking of the disciples, not the average ranking. Is that true?”
Qin Wushang nodded: "Indeed. For example, a disciple of one faction ranks first, and the other two disciples are outside the top 100. The disciples of another faction rank second, third, and fourth. Then, the former is still the first in the faction ranking, and the latter can only be second. Because being able to cultivate a top-notch expert is the most important sign of a powerful faction."
Yun Che laughed and said proudly: “Then, isn’t it enough for me to represent the royal family in the competition? Although Fen Juechen, Feng Bufan, and Fang Feilong are not bad, I am confident that their ranking in the ranking battle will definitely not be higher than mine, and the other disciples in the Xuanfu will not be able to rank higher than me. In this case, why waste time summoning other disciples.”
"This... what you said is indeed true, but the opportunity to participate in the Blue Wind Ranked Tournament is extremely rare after all. Regardless of the ranking, being able to personally attend the competition can bring incomparable gains to any young profound practitioner. Such an opportunity naturally cannot be wasted." Qin Wuyou said.
“I understand this.” Yun Che said, “If we have enough time, we can indeed reselect the other two participating disciples, but there are still two days before the qualifying match. If we set out now, time is already a bit tight. If we select disciples and prepare again, we may not have enough time. If there are any minor setbacks along the way, resulting in us not being able to reach Tianjian Villa in time, then it will be completely a loss.”
“This…” Qin Wushang was unable to refute Yun Che’s words.
Yun Che turned to Xia Yuanba and said, “Yuanba, do you want to go to the ranking match and take a look?”
“Ah? I want to… Of course I want to!” Xia Yuanba nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice. “When I was very young, I heard Uncle Sikong talk about the ranking battles. He said that the top young talents in the entire empire gathered there. Only if I could personally attend the ranking battles would my life be worthwhile. Of course, I dream about it.”
At this point, his expression darkened again: "But, I have no qualifications to enter that kind of place. I am only in the initial Profound Realm now. I didn't think it was a big deal when I was in Floating Cloud City, but when I arrived at Blue Wind Profound Palace, I realized that my Profound Strength is not even qualified to be at the bottom. As for the ranking battle, I dare not hope for it in my lifetime. Brother-in-law, you must work hard in the ranking battle, get a good ranking, and then tell me about what happened over there."
“No! I refuse. I’m too lazy to talk to you.” Yun Che grinned.
“Uh…” Xia Yuanba scratched his head.
“If you want to know what the ranking competition is like, go and watch it yourself.” Yun Che finished speaking and said to Qin Wushang, “Palace Master Qin, I have a selfish request. I hope you will grant it. Since it is very likely to waste time to select new participating disciples, then it is useless to leave the position vacant. How about bringing Yuan Ba with you?”
When Yun Che was halfway through his words, Qin Wushang understood what he was going to say, and could only smile bitterly and said, “This really embarrasses me. There really is no precedent for this kind of thing.”
Bringing a disciple who is only at the Initial Profound Realm to participate in the ranking battle is more "eye-catching" than bringing the disabled Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong.
This kind of thing is not appropriate, it is simply nonsense. To put it bluntly, bringing a disciple of the initial profound realm to participate in the ranking competition where the world's top talents gather is simply lowering the level of the entire ranking competition. It is estimated that before the competition has even started, all kinds of sarcastic and mocking voices have completely drowned the Cangfeng Xuanfu and even the entire royal family.
However, Cang Yue didn’t care about that. Facing the “lost and recovered” Yun Che, her whole heart was now tied to him. After being extremely suppressed and desperate, her emotions overflowed after being overwhelmed by the huge surprise. The identity of the imperial princess and the ranking battle were all left behind Yun Che. Whatever Yun Che said was true: “Palace Master Qin, Junior Brother Yun is right. If we choose another disciple, we may not be able to catch up with the ranking battle. Although it would be a little bit inappropriate to bring Yuan Ba with us, you have also seen Junior Brother Yun’s strength. He can easily defeat Fen Juechen. This time, he will definitely represent the royal family and get a very good ranking. Junior Brother Yun’s request is not excessive at all.”
When Princess Cang Yue opened her mouth, Qin Wushang naturally had nothing to say. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Well, since Her Royal Highness the Princess has said so, then we will not choose another disciple and take Yuan Ba with us."
As he spoke, he groaned in his heart... Damn it! What the hell is going on! The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament is so important, such a serious matter, but in the blink of an eye, two of the three participating disciples were crippled, one was forced to leave, and replaced by one who was unexpectedly strong and one who was too weak to look at... This matter that concerns the face of the royal family has been messed up like a child's play.
Forget it, let's leave it at that.
“However, in exchange, Yun Che, I also have two requests.” Qin Wushang said with a serious face: “First, Yuanba can go, but his status can only be the same as ours, as an escort, not a contestant.”
“Okay.” Yun Che nodded. What he wanted was to satisfy Xia Yuanba’s wish to be there in person. As for letting him participate in the competition, even if Xia Yuanba really wanted to go, he would not allow it. Because in that arena, Xia Yuanba was too weak, and if the opponent had a bit of vicious intentions, it would be possible to seriously injure Xia Yuanba.
“The second one.” Qin Wushang looked directly at Yun Che and said in all seriousness, “I hope that in this ranking battle, your personal ranking… can enter the top 100! Listen carefully, it’s a personal ranking, not a faction ranking!”
“Ah!” Cang Yue exclaimed before Yun Che could respond.
In the last ranking battle, the Blue Wind Imperial Family was ranked 223rd, but the highest individual ranking was only 537th! This ranking, if it were any other power, would be considered an honor, and in one area, it would be considered a hegemon. But for such a powerful imperial family to receive such a ranking, it would only become a laughing stock... And for so many years, it has always been such a bleak ranking.
Not to mention personal ranking, even entering the top 100 in the power ranking was only the dream of Emperor Cangfeng, which had never been realized.
This time, the blood from Qin Wu's wound was to help Yun Che enter the top 100 in the personal rankings! !
That is, to make it into the top 100 in the national competition for top young talents under the age of 20!
Those who can enter the top 100 are all the strongest among the top strong. All of them are famous all over the world and will surely be powerful in the future.
And if Yun Che's personal ranking can really enter the top 100, then the Blue Wind Imperial Family's power ranking will not only be as simple as entering the top 100, it is very likely to directly enter the top 50! It can be said that it has wiped out the previous shame and raised its eyebrows.
Qin Wushang would give Yun Che such a goal, of course, not to deliberately embarrass him or to speak nonsense. Yun Che defeated Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong in seconds, and Qin Wushang was shocked. The strength he showed when facing Fen Juechen just now made him even more shocked. He had been to the scene of the previous two qualifying battles, and he had some understanding of the strength level of the qualifying battles. Based on his speculation about Yun Che's strength, it might be possible for him to enter the top 100!
“Okay!” Yun Che nodded without even thinking: “I will never let Palace Master Qin down.”
"Yeah." Qin Wushang nodded happily.
“Yuanba, did you hear that? You can go to the ranking match with us now. Why don’t you thank Palace Master Qin and Senior Sister Xueruo?” Yun Che said to Xia Yuanba with a smile.
Their conversation had made Xia Yuanba, who had already been excited, at a loss for words. He was so surprised that he could hardly tell east from west, south from north, and his voice was trembling: “Thank you, Palace Master Qin, thank you… thank you, Senior Sister Xueruo, I, I, I… can I really go… to… queue for the… ranking battle?”
“Hahahaha,” Xia Yuanba’s look made Qin Wushang laugh. He waved to Yuanba and said, “Yuanba, come on, ride on a snow sculpture with me. We’ll set off now.”
“Ah? Okay… okay, okay, okay!” Xia Yuanba nodded hurriedly, then followed Qin Wushang towards the largest snow sculpture… With his physique, he had no choice but to choose the largest one.
"Junior Brother Yun, let's go too...Xiaoxue, let's go."
Yun Che and Cang Yue boarded another giant snow sculpture. The two giant snow sculptures flew into the sky together, and soon disappeared into the sky.
The giant snow sculptures flew with the wind and soon reached a height of several thousand feet. They were flying very fast, but very steadily. The speeds of the two giant snow sculptures would deviate after all, and before long, they were far apart and could not see each other.
"Junior Brother Yun..."
With outsiders nearby, Cang Yue, who had been trying hard to suppress her emotions, finally cried out softly and hugged Yun Che tightly, hugging him very hard and not letting go for a long time.
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister, for making you worry about me.” Yun Che hugged her soft body and said softly.
"No, it's my fault. I was just imagining things. I should have believed you... believed that nothing would happen to you." Lan Xueruo closed her eyes and said softly, enjoying the warmth of the moment peacefully and tranquilly.
“Senior Sister…”
The giant snow eagle cried joyfully and sped up again. Before they knew it, they had already flown out of the range of Blue Wind Imperial City.
This was their second time riding the giant snow sculpture together. The first time they rode together, they also experienced their first common hardship. It was from that time that Cang Yue's feelings for him gradually changed from simple attention to deeper and deeper dependence, and then to the attachment that could not be separated at this moment.
Cang Yue leaned on Yun Che’s chest and said quietly, “Junior Brother Yun, you and Yuan Ba have a really good relationship. When he heard about your accident, he cried like a child. When he was bullied, you got so angry… You are not brothers, but my brothers…”
Yun Che raised his head slightly and said with emotion: “Yuan Ba and I grew up together. When he was young, he was not strong, on the contrary, he was a little thin. At that time, I would help him no matter what bullying he suffered. Later, his physique grew by leaps and bounds, but I was found to have congenital disability of my profound veins. Almost everyone, whether inside or outside the family, looked down on me and anyone could bully me at will. At that time, it was Yuan Ba who protected me. He even cut off contact with many playmates who mocked and bullied me for my sake. In my eyes, besides my grandfather and my little aunt, he is my only relative... Now, I have the ability to protect him. If anyone dares to bully him, I will certainly make them pay many times the price.”
"How can he be my only relative? I obviously have a wife... hum." Cangyue whispered softly, and the last hum was filled with a hint of innocent jealousy that only a young girl would have.
“Her?” Xia Qingyue’s peerless beauty emerged in his mind. She was already extremely beautiful at the age of sixteen. After not seeing her for a year and a half, she must have become even more charming and beautiful now that she is already seventeen and a half. However, although she is his wife in name, she only belongs to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, not him. He said in a calm tone: “Although she was good to me, at least she never looked down on me, and she always tried hard to protect my fragile dignity at that time, she never regarded me as her husband, and it was impossible for her to regard me as her relative.”
In front of a girl, it is best not to talk too much about another girl, not to mention that the other girl has an extremely sensitive relationship with you. Yun Che naturally understood this. He immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, Senior Sister, have you ever heard of the name Chu Yuechan?"
“Chu Yuechan? Are you talking about Chu Yuechan?” Cang Yue’s reaction was much stronger than Yun Che had expected.
"Senior sister, do you know this name?"
"Of course I know. How many people in the world don't know this name?"
Yun Che: “…”
"Chu Yuechan, the leader of the 'Frozen Cloud Seven Fairies' of the Frozen Cloud Palace. And since more than 20 years ago, she has been recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Blue Wind Empire, and the strongest woman in the same age group who has no one to surpass. But her reputation for beauty far exceeds her reputation for power."
Speaking of "Chu Yuechan", Cang Yue's face showed a lot of emotion and yearning: "Many years ago, people who admired her were all over the world. In the past, in order to make her smile, or just to see her, many people risked their lives to go to Bingyun Fairy Palace. These people include the current leader of Xiao Sect, the owner of Tianjian Villa... and even my father. After seeing Chu Yuechan once, my father couldn't extricate himself. Later, when he inherited the throne, he never took a queen, just because of Chu Yuechan. Even now, he often unconsciously recites the name of 'Fairy Bingchan'."
Yun Che opened his mouth slightly, his face dull...
