Upon sensing the aura Qin Luo exuded, the group exchanged bewildered glances. In their view, someone standing at the very front of the fifth stone platform should possess far greater strength.
Many people whispered among themselves, "This early stage of the Soul Contract Realm cultivation seems a bit lacking among these many powerful individuals."
Even the three people at the very front of the surrounding stone platform frowned slightly. Wan Shuhua narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Luo, wondering to himself why this person, who seemed to have low cultivation, would stand in such a conspicuous position.
Duan Yu gently closed the ancient book in his hand, a hint of doubt showing in his eyes. As a formation master, he was extremely sensitive to all kinds of auras, but he could not feel the powerful aura that Qin Luo should have.
Hong Hao crossed his arms, a hint of disdain in his eyes. In his view, the strength of someone at the early stage of the Soul Contract Realm was simply not comparable to that of powerful individuals like them.
The mysterious woman showed no interest in Qin Luo's appearance. She remained standing quietly, like an iceberg, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.
Her light blue eyes were completely calm, as if nothing in the world mattered to her.
Just as everyone was discussing, the senior students above turned their attention to Qin Luo with great interest. They could clearly notice the different looks in the eyes of the three half-step Spirit Control Realm cultivators behind Qin Luo.
"This person is quite interesting. Judging from the fear on the faces of the three half-step Spirit Control Realm cultivators behind him, they must have had an unusual encounter with him during the assessment." A senior student stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"However, the almost tangible love in the eyes of that late-stage Soul Contract Realm woman when she looked at him was truly surprising. What is it about this person that makes him so charming? Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case given the difference in their cultivation levels."
After all, in this cultivation world where strength reigns supreme, it is usually the strong who receive more attention and admiration. There is a huge gap between someone at the early stage of the Soul Contract Realm and someone at the late stage, yet this woman showed such intense love for Qin Luo, which was truly incomprehensible.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Luo also observed the situation on the field, his gaze slowly sweeping across the several stone platforms.
When he saw Wan Shuhua and her two companions, his eyes flickered, but he quickly looked away calmly. However, when his gaze fell upon the mysterious woman with light blue hair, his heart skipped a beat.
It wasn't because of the woman's beauty, but because a new investor had appeared on the system interface.
Name: Qin Luo
[Realm: Early Stage of Soul Contract Realm]
[Constitution: Ethereal Holy Body]
[Technique: The Ultimate Unity of All Things]
[Number of Investing Opportunities: 2]
[Gift by Chance: Murong Liyue (Sun and Moon Purple Vine: Remaining Time: 5 days)]
[Number of simulations: 1 (refreshes every 24 hours, can be stored, current number of stored simulations: 17) (Note: The longer the interval between simulations, the higher the quality and quantity of rewards obtained))]
[Investable Woman: Dan Bingli]
"As expected of Lingyuan Sect, a place teeming with geniuses, I've already encountered another potential investor here, even though I've only just entered."
Qin Luo took a deep look at Dan Bingli in the distance before looking away.
But this glance did not escape Murong Liyue's eyes. She glanced at Dan Bingli, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and a strange feeling of jealousy welled up in her heart.
During those two days, with Qin Luo's sweet companionship, she found herself unable to live without that feeling of happiness. Every glance they exchanged during those two days was filled with boundless love, making her heart feel as if it were bathed in the spring sunshine.
They strolled together along the paths of Lingxiao Plain, feeling the gentle caress of the breeze and sharing heartfelt words. Every word and gesture of Qin Luo was like delicate threads, weaving the most beautiful picture in her heart.
She knew she was deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself. As long as Qin Luo was by her side, she longed for these days to last forever.
In the past, when she learned that she might have, to some extent, competed with someone else for their Daoist partner, she did feel a little ashamed. At that time, she thought that sharing this love was not impossible, after all, she was the one who came later and shouldn't ask for too much.
However, as time went by and as her interactions with Qin Luo accumulated, her thoughts quietly changed.
Now, she was so reluctant to share this love with anyone. Whenever she saw images of Qin Luo with other women in her mind, a strong sense of unease would well up inside her.
She was afraid that Qin Luo would become infatuated with other women, afraid that his gaze would shift away from her, afraid that his tenderness and care would be taken away by someone else, and that she would inevitably be neglected. This was something she, who had already fallen deeply in love, absolutely could not accept.
So, in the end, fate still gave her a golden opportunity. She secretly rejoiced that Qin Luo's original Daoist partner had not ended up with him.
Within the Lingyuan Sect, she saw endless possibilities. She secretly vowed to use enough tenderness to make Qin Luo completely hers, to make him her one and only, her exclusive warm haven.
But before that, he had to prevent other seductive women from trying to seduce Qin Luo. The woman, Dan Bingli, was a hidden threat. Although Qin Luo only caught her gaze for a fleeting moment, that moment was not to be ignored; she could not tolerate such a potential threat.
Qin Luo, who was in front, was unaware of the changes in Murong Liyue's heart. He was looking at the huge stone tablet suspended in the center of Lingyuan Gate with a solemn expression.
The stone tablet floated in the center of the numerous islands, standing like a majestic mountain between heaven and earth. It was inscribed with countless golden characters, each shimmering with a profound light. Each golden name represented a figure who could currently stir up trouble within the Lingyuan Sect.
This is the highly anticipated ranking list of Lingyuan Sect.
From a distance, the Ranking List looks like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, carrying the dreams and glory of countless disciples of the Lingyuan Sect.
Qin Luo, however, focused his attention on the names ranked at the very top.
Number one on the Ranking of Heroes: Wu Changkong, Cultivation: Early Stage of Divine Travel Realm
Second on the Ranking of Heroes: Xiao Ming, Cultivation: Early Stage of Divine Travel Realm
Third on the Popularity Ranking: Feng Zhiyu, Cultivation: Late Stage of Soul Separation Realm
......
Fifth on the Popularity Ranking: Su Yaoyue, Cultivation: Late Stage of Soul Separation Realm
......
10th on the Ranking of Heroes: Bai Qi, Cultivation: Mid-stage Soul Separation Realm
"Late stage of the Soul Separation Realm?"
Looking up at the top five, it was clearly shown that the minimum cultivation level required to reach the late stage of the Soul Separation Realm was to be qualified to step into such a height.
He had not forgotten the mission Murong Liyue received in the simulation six months later, a mission that would cause such a big movement in the entire Lingyuan Sect and require the gathering of the top five experts on the Fengyun Ranking.
It's either an extraordinary, earth-shattering opportunity, or a terrifying, catastrophe...
