Kristin was determined to break into the top ten, with all her battles being quick and decisive. After a hundred consecutive victories, she triggered the rule for challenging someone ranked a hundred places higher.
Then, another hundred consecutive wins later, she triggered the rule again, allowing her to challenge directly someone ranked ten thousand places higher.
In the past, it was rare for top contestants to be ranked so far back, but this time was truly exceptional. Many top Ascenders like Kristin and Di Esi were fiercely vying for higher ranks.
There were also a few Humans quietly striving to climb the ranks, but Tu Xiaodao was not among them; he didn't participate in the ranking battles at all and went straight back to attempt Nirvana.
