Chapter 104: Conclusion of the Top Ten Strong List Competition, Ziyan's Visit
The top ten rankings competition was unexpectedly conducted in this manner.
Low-ranking students challenged high-ranking students.
As long as you have confidence, you can even directly challenge the first place.
Students generally take advantage of this opportunity to challenge higher-ranking students and improve their own rankings.
However, Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy, who were at the bottom of the rankings, did not have such thoughts.
Because their goal was only the Origin Heart Flame Body Refinement, and they didn't care much about their rankings.
Soon, low-ranking students began to challenge high-ranking students.
Other students watched from the sidelines, and some with ideas were also looking for their opponents.
But without exception, no one looked at Ziyan and Xiao Ze.
Ziyan bounced over to Xiao Ze and said to him, lifting her head.
"Hey, Xiao Ze, challenge me. Let's have a match."
"No, there's no benefit in fighting you. I don't lack Origin Flame Energy, and there's not much difference between first and second place for me."
Xiao Ze bluntly rejected Ziyan's request.
This made Ziyan glare at Xiao Ze.
"What a guy who doesn't get up early unless he's going to benefit. Feels like you're no different from the others, hmph!"
Xiao Ze shrugged, ignoring Ziyan's childish provocation.
Xiao Xuner, the Little Doctor Fairy, had no intention of challenging.
Xiao Ze also had no intention of challenging Ziyan.
No one else wanted to challenge the top two either, so there were suddenly fewer battles on the last day of the competition.
However, the battles among the top ten were even more intense.
This also made the inner courtyard students below feel very satisfied.
Although the quantity was lacking, the quality was higher than the previous two days.
They fought fiercely, each showing their own strengths.
After Lei Jia defeated a student who challenged him, the Great Elder took the stage. Seeing no other students volunteering to challenge, he said, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge high-ranking students? If not, the top ten rankings for this round are settled!"
The Great Elder waited for a moment and then announced the end of this inner courtyard top ten competition.
"You all rest assured for the next few days. Wait for the instructors to notify you of the specific date to enter the tower."
The Great Elder said to the top ten students, leading many elders away.
Xiao Ze and the others did not linger in the central square either, leaving one after another.
Seeing that the participating students had all left, the inner courtyard students followed suit.
However, the discussions about the inner courtyard did not stop.
If Xiao Ze and the others had established a faction, countless inner courtyard students would probably have flocked to them by now.
Xiao Ze not only ranked second in the strong list but also had two partners who were also in the top ten of the strong list.
Plus, he was also an alchemist, reportedly unmatched by even some alchemy instructors.
With such favorable conditions, joining the faction established by Xiao Ze would definitely bring huge benefits.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ze did not establish a faction.
They didn't dare to run to Xiao Ze and ask him to establish a faction.
With the end of the inner courtyard competition, the battles between many strong individuals became the topic of much discussion.
Another somewhat amusing event was the Great Elder's consecutive nightmare draws.
He forcibly drew the top three, making it feel like he was specifically targeting the other participants.
Of course, such talk was just a joke. After all, as the Great Elder of the inner courtyard, why would he make such a small move?
It's just that for the next round of strong list competitions, it might be better not to let the Great Elder draw.
After the communication and interaction during the strong list competition, Ziyan and Xiao Ze also became much more familiar with each other.
Room number two.
Xiao Ze was refining medicine, Xiao Xuner was using the cultivation platform to break through realms, and the Little Doctor Fairy was practicing nearby.
At this moment, there was a sudden knocking at the door.
Xiao Ze put out the flames and looked at the ingredients burned to ashes in the spirit cauldron, shaking his head.
He got up and walked towards the door, but Xiao Xuner and the Little Doctor Fairy were not disturbed.
He probably already guessed who was knocking on the door.
On the sixth floor of the Heavenly Incineration Qi Tower, besides Ziyan, there shouldn't be anyone else daring to bother him.
Creak!
"It's so boring, I've come to play with you."
Sure enough, as he opened the door, Ziyan spoke first.
Xiao Ze pointed to the two people in the room.
Ziyan peeked through the crack and saw Xiao Xuner and the Little Doctor Fairy practicing, then stuck out her tongue at Xiao Ze.
"I didn't mean to."
Although she said so, Ziyan still lowered her voice.
Suddenly, she also noticed the alchemy furnace in the corner of the room, sniffed, and then looked at Xiao Ze.
"You're an alchemist? Do you have any delicious and energizing medicinal ingredients?"
Ziyan said, unable to resist licking her lips.
"How would I know? I've never eaten medicinal ingredients alone."
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes and waved to Ziyan to come in.
Otherwise, the energy in Room Two would soon leak out.
"It's not as good as my Room One."
Ziyan bluntly said.
"Just enough. For them, the energy in your cultivation room is still quite substantial."
Xiao Ze knew that Ziyan was showing off her Room One cultivation chamber.
Instead of deliberately responding to her, he acted as if he didn't care, making Ziyan pout and sit on the side in a sulky manner.
"Fine, I didn't expect you to be as boring as those guys."
Xiao Ze shrugged, not paying attention to Ziyan's words.
Seeing Xiao Ze about to start refining medicine again, Ziyan scratched her head.
She took out a medicinal ingredient from her spatial ring, opened her mouth, and took a bite, intending to see how Xiao Ze refined medicine.
The creaking sound made Xiao Ze's teeth ache.
Xiao Ze turned around and saw Ziyan casually taking a bite of the usually sturdy medicinal ingredient.
He immediately felt that even if it were ten times the feedback of a seventh-grade pill like the Indestructible Diamond Pill, it would still not be comparable to the physical strength brought by Ziyan's Vermilion Bird Bloodline.
To have such level of physical strength, apart from Ziyan's feedback reward, it would probably require feedback from a pill of nine-grade or above to possibly match the physical strength of the Vermilion Bird.
Seeing Ziyan's face wrinkled into a frown, still intending to swallow the medicinal ingredient.
Xiao Ze secretly chuckled. Ziyan really could endure anything to grow up.
But before she entered the inner courtyard, she lived in the deep mountains, searching for medicinal ingredients everywhere to eat.
Encountering powerful monsters, she would also be beaten miserably, hiding in a corner licking her wounds in solitude.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ze shook his head and said to Ziyan.
"Give me that medicinal ingredient, and I'll help you refine it simply so that it becomes delicious and doesn't lose its energy."
Hearing Xiao Ze's words, Ziyan's eyes widened.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"But what if you burn it? What should I do then?" Ziyan said somewhat worriedly, "I fought with that monster for a long time, and I'm all bruised and swollen."
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes. "Then forget it. If you like to suffer, go ahead."
