Chapter 1580 -s 1528-1529: Old Acquaintance and Legacy Inheritance
Perhaps for Yu Yiyao and the others, most of their time was spent on killing opponents, but those powerful cultivators didn’t need as much time; they focused more on seeking fortuitous opportunities.
This was the largest gap between them: one group had pushed themselves to their limits, while the other couldn’t exhibit their full strength due to environmental influences.
As a mentor, Zhao Baiyang clearly knew at this moment that Yu Yiyao indeed hadn’t shown her full strength, but neither had those Supreme Strong who ranked at the top.
The trial had only just begun, and it was likely that no one had yet displayed their full strength. To truly see their abilities would require some more time.
And as he was paying attention to Yu Yiyao, someone reminded Zhao Baiyang that other disciples from the Heterodox Alliance were making a name for themselves.
Zhao Baiyang looked over with a surprised gaze because he knew that for someone to bother reporting to him, the performance must be exceptionally dazzling; otherwise, if it were just a common ranking, even slightly better than Yu Yiyao, it wouldn’t be worth mentioning.
This was only the beginning, where the rankings were not entirely determined by strength; a large part of it was also tied to luck.
[Cangyang; points 956,870; ranked 4,986th; from Divine Land World, Heterodox Alliance.]
Even Zhao Baiyang, a True Immortal accustomed to great tumults, found the scene incredibly unbelievable.
Ranked 4,986th, he almost thought his eyes were deceiving him, mistaking over forty thousand for just over four thousand.
Then he assured himself of one thing: as a True Immortal, he couldn’t possibly be mistaken in his sight. Thus, it proved one thing: the rank was genuinely free of errors, and a disciple from their Heterodox Alliance had indeed squeezed into the top five thousand.
How numerous were the strong contenders in this Myriad Laws Realm trial, and how challenging it was to secure one of the first hundred thousand spots, these True Immortals understood better than anyone. Therefore, Zhao Baiyang did not feel any dissatisfaction when their own disciple Yu Yiyao was initially ranked in the ninety-thousands.
To say nothing of Yu Yiyao’s initial rank in the ninety-thousands, even if she ended up at that rank at the last moment, Zhao Baiyang would not be dissatisfied because the competition was intense and partly dependent on luck.
