Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Good!”

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted into cheers and applause. It truly proved that spectators loved excitement, even when that excitement was soaked in blood.

”Speaking of which, Zhao Yunfeng has already won seven matches in a row. Next, he will have to face opponents at the 1st and 2nd levels Earthly Core Realm.”

”Hehe, seven consecutive wins is only the beginning. The next three battles are the real challenge. Zhao Yunfeng has only recently stepped into the Earthly Core Realm, so he is probably going to suffer now.”

Many people in the crowd wore expressions of schadenfreude.

In the preliminary trials of the Golden Dragon Guard, participants generally would not encounter Earthly Core Realm opponents during the first seven matches. However, starting from the eighth match, every opponent would be at the 1st, 2nd or 3rd level Earthly Core Realm level. In other words, the true test only began from the eighth match onward.

Swish!

In the next moment, a handsome young man dressed in blue robes drifted lightly onto the martial arena. Unexpectedly, this blue-robed young man was only at the Half-Step Earthly Core Realm.

However, the moment Zhao Yunfeng saw this blue-robed young man, his expression immediately became grave. At the same time, the expressions of the spectators became even more malicious, and some of the troublemakers even began whistling excitedly.

”Zhao Yunfeng is really unlucky. In only his eighth match, he actually ran into Lan Yichen, who is ranked thirty-fifth on the Spirit Ranking. It looks like his winning streak is going to end at seven.”

”Not only is his winning streak over, but whether he can even keep his life is another question. Lan Yichen is no kind-hearted person.”

Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Li Yun could not help raising an eyebrow.

’Interesting. The Cloudheaven Ancient Kingdom truly deserves its reputation as the junction of three major powers. Even in a small place like Greenmist City, one can encounter an expert from the Spirit Ranking.’

The Spirit Ranking, Earth Ranking, and Heaven Ranking were collectively known as the three major rankings for the younger generation in the Azure Void Region. They were authoritative lists that countless cultivators dreamed of entering.

The Spirit Ranking was meant for all Mortal Core Realm cultivators under the age of thirty, including those at the Half-Step Earthly Core Realm. It ranked the strength of young experts in this category and had a total of one thousand spots.

The Earth Ranking was for cultivators under the age of forty whose cultivation ranged from the Earthly Core Realm to the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm. Only three hundred people could be listed on the Earth Ranking.

As for the Heaven Ranking, only Heavenly Core Realm experts under the age of fifty could enter it, and there were only one hundred spots in total.

From a mortal’s perspective, those who were forty or fifty years old might not be considered part of the younger generation. However, compared to the centuries-long lifespan of Earthly Core Realm and Heavenly Core Realm experts, they were indeed still extremely young. Calling them the younger generation was not an exaggeration.

Leaving the Earth Ranking and Heaven Ranking aside, those who could enter the Spirit Ranking generally possessed at least Half-Step Earthly Core Realm strength. As for those who could rank in the top hundred, all of them possessed combat power comparable to 1st level Earthly Core Realm experts.

Since Lan Yichen was ranked thirty-fifth on the Spirit Ranking, his strength was clearly not merely comparable to the 1st level Earthly Core Realm. Even among experts at that level, he could be considered a standout.

Sure enough, although Zhao Yunfeng was an 1st level Earthly Core Realm cultivator, he lasted less than ten rounds against Lan Yichen before being blasted apart by a single punch, dying a miserable death on the spot.

After defeating Zhao Yunfeng, Lan Yichen walked off the arena stage with a proud expression.

He had already achieved seven consecutive victories before this. Killing Zhao Yunfeng gave him his eighth victory. As for his ninth match, he would have to wait until another cultivator with eight consecutive wins appeared.

Afterward, the matches continued.

In almost every battle, someone was either heavily injured or killed tragically. The competition was cruel to the extreme.

Under such intense and ruthless conditions, there were very few people who could achieve seven consecutive victories, let alone eight.

A full hour passed before it was finally Li Yun’s turn to take the stage.

”Li Yun versus Ma Lie!”

As the referee’s indifferent voice rang out, Li Yun and Ma Lie both stepped onto the arena stage.

Li Yun’s opponent, Ma Lie, was a middle-aged man around forty years old. His appearance was fierce, and he had a large beard that made him look rather intimidating. However, his cultivation had not even reached the Half-Step Earthly Core Realm. He was only at the peak of the Mortal Core Realm.

Even so, when Ma Lie saw Li Yun’s 4th level Mortal Core Realm cultivation, he immediately broke into a delighted grin and laughed loudly.

”Hahaha! I thought I, Ma Lie, would suffer a crushing defeat in my first match, but I never expected to run into a brat at the 4th level of Mortal Core Realm. It looks like even I can win one round today.”

”Ma Lie, if you cannot even handle a brat at the 4th level of Mortal Core Realm, then you are truly too pathetic.”

”Fight properly, Ma Lie. I am rooting for you. Tear that arrogant brat to pieces.”

”A mere 4th level Mortal Core Realm trash dares to step onto the stage? Ma Lie, show him the cruelty of the martial world.”

When the spectating cultivators saw Li Yun, they were first taken aback. A moment later, they all began shouting excitedly. Their chaotic voices blended together and became deafening.

Most of these people were already quite old, with many of them over forty. Yet most of them had still not reached the Earthly Core Realm. Seeing that Li Yun looked only around twenty years old and had already reached the 4th level of Mortal Core Realm, they naturally felt envy in their hearts and could not wait to see him torn apart.

”Kid, die for me!”

Ma Lie cl1st and 2nd levels offelt the same way. He gave a wild laugh and charged forward like a human tank, throwing a heavy punch toward Li Yun with a booming sound.

Boom!

Ma Lie’s punch carried decent aura and power, but in Li Yun’s eyes, it was filled with openings and was utterly worthless.

Li Yun casually struck out with a palm.

Surging Chaos Qi poured forth, instantly dismantling Ma Lie’s attack. In the next moment, Ma Lie himself was sent flying backward and was blasted out of the arena in an instant.
