After having breakfast, Lin Yun and Zhang Haoran went to the mountain. Along the way, Zhang Haoran looked impatient, because he wanted to see the ranking of Lin Yun and him as soon as possible.
It was also for this reason that Lin Yun went to the mountain so early, otherwise, he still planned to wander around at the foot of the mountain.
At this martial arts conference, some of the stalls sold things that were not available in ordinary places, and it was rare to find them in such a concentrated manner. Lin Yun wanted to see if there were any that were cheaper on Blue Star but had great value on the Universal Trading System.
If he found any, they would be called local specialties, which would be of great benefit to him when he opened a store on the Universal Trading System in the future.
It would be best if they were sustainable, so that he could sell them on the Universal Trading System continuously.
However, it was very difficult to find such specialties.
It was very difficult for an object to stand out among countless civilizations.
Lin Yun has looked at a lot of things, but he hasn't found a suitable item. Instead, he has discovered that some things are more cost-effective to sell on the cosmic trading system than resources such as gold.
For example, some treasures of nature and the world.
Unfortunately, these things are even more difficult to collect than gold.
'Lin Yixiong, I am ninety-ninth. I have made it into the top hundred...'
Soon, Lin Yun and Zhang Haoran reached the top of the mountain. The rankings for the preliminary round had just been posted, and Zhang Haoran quickly found his ranking in the list and immediately turned to Lin Yun, excitedly saying, 'I'm in the top 100!'
'Hm,' Lin Yun smiled and nodded slightly.
'Lin Yi, what's your ranking?' While speaking, Zhang Haoran had already turned his head to look for Lin Yun's name again.
Just now, he looked for Lin Yun's name in the range of his name first. He estimated that Lin Yun's ranking would be around the hundred mark, so he started looking from the 100th place and worked his way up. He didn't expect to find Lin Yun's name so quickly.
This time, when he looked for Lin Yun's name, he started looking from the top and worked his way down.
He knew about Lin Yun's performance in yesterday's competition. He had won all ten matches, all of which he had quickly resolved.
He estimated that Lin Yun's ranking would be very high.
'23rd place, Brother Lin Yi, you are 23rd place!'
Lin Yi's name was easy to find, and soon, Zhang Haoran found it again. He turned his head to look at Lin Yun again, his face full of excitement.
Twenty-third place... Although it was only twenty-third place in the preliminary round, it was still pretty amazing if you told people about it.
This was twenty-third place among thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.
Not everyone could defeat everyone else and solve their opponents so quickly in the preliminary round.
Yes, this ranking was not the final ranking, but only the ranking in the preliminary round.
It is determined based on the number of wins and the duration of the competition.
Lin Yun is twenty-third, which means that the twenty-two people in front of Lin Yun all had ten wins in the preliminary round yesterday, and the time they took to solve their opponents was all faster than Lin Yun's.
This is also normal...
Although Lin Yun is very strong, when Lin Yun fought his opponents yesterday, most of them exchanged a few moves first to see the opponent's strength. Some of the stronger participants...they all solved their opponents directly.
In fact, they were racing against the clock in order to achieve a high ranking.
For example, Jiang Wei defeated his opponents with just one move many times.
Unfortunately, his opponent was unlucky and Lin Yun saw his opponent ranked 37th after losing to a strong opponent yesterday.
The ranking in the preliminary round is not very authoritative. As long as you are lucky and keep running into opponents of lesser strength, even those with inferior strength can achieve a good ranking.
Similarly, if you're unlucky and keep running into strong opponents, then some strong players may also get a poor ranking in the preliminary rounds.
However, Lin Yun also saw a familiar name:
Lin Mengmeng!
Lin Yun's mouth curled slightly.
Unexpectedly, the opponent also came to participate in this martial arts conference and participated in this rookie competition.
Nine wins out of ten, 39th place.
It's not a bad result.
'Twenty-third...'
'So amazing...'
'So young...'
'I think he won all ten matches, didn't he?'
Hearing Zhang Haoran's excited voice, some people also looked at Lin Yun in surprise.
'Hmph, it could also be luck...'
'Exactly, with luck, it's possible to win first place even at the beginning of the Ming Jin stage...'
'What's the point of the preliminary ranking...'
There were also some narrow-minded and jealous people who said disdainfully.
'Let's go...'
Lin Yun turned and left.
He didn't argue with these people.
There are people like this everywhere. If he argues with them every time, it would be a real pain in the neck.
Just like Jiang Wei yesterday, when the other party was talking about them, he said something back, and immediately made the other party hate him.
Seeing the name of someone he knew, at the moment, he was in a good mood.
'Lin Yi, your master is really weak. I only hit him with two or three punches, and he was unable to move. Don't you want to avenge your master? After the rookie competition, let's meet on the deathmatch stage, how about it?' Just then, a person stopped in front of Lin Yun and sneered, saying.
This person was Li Xintang, whom Lin Yun had met yesterday.
After a night's sleep, Li Xintang was full of anger.
Yesterday, Zhu Haoran found him and first criticized him, but then told him not to provoke Lin Yi in the future, and it would be best if he apologized to Lin Yi, and then took the time to apologize to Yan Dashan in Xianyuan County.
He was young and impetuous, so how could he stand this?
What's more, he saw Li Xintang give Lin Yun two bottles of wine yesterday...
This made him even more furious.
Early in the morning, he went to keep an eye on Lin Yun's whereabouts.
He knew that Lin Yun was sharing a room with Zhang Haoran, which made him look down on Lin Yun even more.
In his opinion, Lin Yun should not be very capable, otherwise, he would not be sharing a room with someone else.
Zhu Haoran did not tell him that Zhang Haoran was the son of a grandmaster.
However, he did not sleep well last night, and when he woke up, Lin Yun and Zhang Haoran had already left.
After thinking about it for a while, he hurried to the top of the mountain.
Sure enough, he was right. Lin Yun and Zhang Haoran came to see the rankings of the preliminary competition.
Although he also wanted to know his ranking in the preliminary competition, Lin Yun's matter made him even more concerned.
He planned to settle this matter first, and then go see his ranking in the preliminary competition.
He had already decided in his heart that as long as Lin Yun agreed to this, he would use words to provoke Lin Yun and make him not spread this matter.
He was afraid that if this matter was spread to Zhu Haoran, Zhu Haoran would stop this matter.
Yesterday, Zhu Haoran obviously favoured the other party.
Once he seriously injured Lin Yun and even disabled his martial arts, Zhu Haoran would know too late.
As for whether Zhu Haoran would be disappointed in him because of this and no longer give him resources for training in the future, he could not control that.
In his opinion, it is a matter of probability.
The other party has not yet entered the Seven Injuries Gate, and Zhu Haoran is already giving him so many resources for training.
If the other party enters the Seven Injuries Gate, what will happen? Will Zhu Haoran's resources be enough for him and his master?
If he injures the other party, or even disables his martial arts, Zhu Haoran will not be able to give the other party any training resources, even if he wants to...
Zhu Haoran has no disciples, so if he does not give the resources in his hands to his master and him, then to whom?
In other words, even if Zhu Haoran rejects him, what about his master...
As long as Zhu Haoran is willing to give his cultivation resources to his master, I think his master won't abandon him, right?
In this matter, he is ultimately doing it for both him and his master.
'Why go after the Rookie Competition? If you want to go to the Death Match arena, you can go now,' Lin Yun said with narrowed eyes.
'Now?' Hearing Lin Yun's words, Li Xintang frowned instead.
He didn't want any accidents during the Rookie Competition.
'Fine, let's go to the Death Match now. But soon, Li Xintang gritted his teeth and said.
There are gains and losses. Now, if he and the other person go to the Death Match, it will be too late when his master knows.
If they don't go to the Death Match now, just agreeing to it will cause more problems down the road, and maybe his master will find out early.
Then let's go now!
He didn't believe that the other person was that strong.
After all, the other party's age is right there.
'Lin Yi...'
Seeing Lin Yun about to go onto the life-and-death arena with someone else, Zhang Haoran hurriedly said, his tone a little nervous.
He was also afraid that Lin Yun would be affected by this battle and affect the Rookie Competition.
The Martial Arts Conference and Rookie Competition are held once every five years, and it is the time to make a name for yourself. It would be a pity if you missed it or were affected.
Most importantly, he knew that the other party's strength was not low, and it seemed that they had reached the late stage of Ming Jin.
Under normal circumstances, this is also a relatively high realm that a martial artist in their twenties can achieve.
In addition, the martial arts of the Seven Injuries Gate are a bit special. Although the potential is not high, the strength is not weak in the same realm.
Even a martial artist at the pinnacle of Mingjing realm, if they fight against him, they dare not say that there will not be any accidents.
Lin Yun's age is here...
Zhang Haoran knows that Lin Yun's strength is not weak, but Lin Yun is too young. He also believes that Lin Yun's martial realm will not be too high.
'Haha, don't regret it, otherwise I will look down on you.' Seeing this scene, Li Xintang was even more certain in his mind that Lin Yun's strength was not that strong. He was afraid that Lin Yun would change his mind and provoked him again with his words, so he sneered.
Lin Yun just glanced at him indifferently and didn't say a word.
Lin Yun walked towards the direction of the deathmatch arena.
The Life and Death Ring, Lin Yun only heard Zhang Haoran mention it when they were chatting last night. Lin Yun never imagined that there would be such a ring at the Martial Arts Conference.
When they were going up the mountain, Zhang Haoran also pointed out the location of the Life and Death Ring to Lin Yun, so Lin Yun knew where it was.
