Chapter 6663 Cheating?
“The Heaven Rankings? But... the rules...”
The poor Elder’s expression twisted in pain.
His face had recovered from Long Chen’s knee-smashing, but it was still badly bruised. Now, he was caught in a difficult position.
According to the normal rules, someone who wanted to enter the rankings needed to register first. The rankings were divided into the Mortal, Earth, and Heaven tiers. A disciple began at the Mortal Rankings, accumulating points through battle.
Once they entered the top thousand, they could attempt to enter the Earth Rankings, which referred to challenging anyone on the Earth Rankings. The target’s ranking didn’t matter, as long as they were listed on it.
One could challenge a powerful expert or an easy target if one so wished. But if they failed their challenge, they couldn’t challenge the Earth Rankings for a year.
The Heaven Ranking followed the same rule.
As for the Mortal Rankings, any inner palace disciple qualified to participate. Their numbers were vast, and aside from the top thousand, no one cared about them.
The Earth Rankings held a million members, all elites. The higher one climbed, the sharper that elite distinction became.
The Heaven Rankings only had ten thousand members, and all of them were solid experts. Not a single one of them had reached this point through luck.
As for the desolate mountain Long Chen had been dropped off at, the disciples there were called entry disciples—when put nicely. In truth, they were the weakest of the weak, not even outer palace disciples. How could such people qualify to enter the rankings directly?
If Long Chen wanted to reach the Heaven Rankings, he would have to go step by step, becoming an outer palace disciple and then an inner palace disciple, and then climb from the Mortal Rankings.
Every ranked disciple received monthly rewards, growing richer with each rise in position. These rewards were enough to drive people mad.
Although the Starry River Palace’s internal management was chaotic, the rules governing the rankings were remarkably clear.
Qu Yingying laughed softly, her smile filled with contempt. “Rules? How amusing. You’ve helped others skip stages before, haven’t you? And now you want to lecture me about rules? Alright, then I have something to report to the Starry River Managing Department!”
She pretended to turn and leave, causing that Elder to turn pale.
He hastily said, “Miss Yingying, please forgive this little one. After all, I am only following orders!”
He was about to cry. Although the rules for the rankings were clear, there were small loopholes that allowed him to make things more convenient for some people without breaking the rules.
Naturally, those loopholes always favored the powerful. Over time, they became unwritten rules. Now that Qu Yingying wanted to use them, the Elder in charge refused, which naturally enraged her.
In front of countless dumbfounded gazes, that Elder brought Long Chen and Qu Yingying to a large hall. Long Chen handed over his tablet. The Elder took out a golden starry talisman and pressed it down.
Now, Long Chen was ready to enter the rankings.
Qu Yingying was satisfied with this. Leaning closer, she whispered, “This only prepares you to enter the rankings. Actually climbing them will still depend on you.”
“Am I supposed to start from the Mortal Rankings? How long will that take?” Long Chen asked, frowning.
Qu Yingying had brought him here to reach the Heaven Rankings. If he started from the Mortal Rankings, wouldn’t he be beating up children? That was too boring. He’d rather leave.
“Hehe, there are some shortcuts. Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged things.” Qu Yingying giggled when she saw Long Chen’s impatient expression.
It wasn’t long before a man appeared by her side. Qu Yingying said a few words to him, and his expression darkened.
Long Chen could tell the man was displeased, but he didn’t argue. After a moment’s hesitation, he nodded.
Qu Yingying took Long Chen’s tablet and returned to the Elder’s hall. Then, she got out almost immediately.
“Done,” she said.
Just then, Long Chen’s tablet started to flash. Spatial energy flowed out and enveloped Long Chen, bringing him to a martial stage.
Once Long Chen got inside, he saw the man Qu Yingying had summoned standing opposite him. The man’s face was ashen, and he said nothing.
“Heavens, what’s going on? Some novice from the nine heavens is challenging him?”
“Isn’t that a martial stage for the Heaven Rankings?! What is going on?!”
“I thought the strongest disciple from the nine heavens had only just entered the top ten thousand of the Earth Rankings!”
“Look at their names! It’s Long Chen. His opponent is Chen Yang, ranked 9987th on the Heaven Rankings!”
“Long Chen is the challenger, and he has zero points? What’s going on? If he has zero points, why did Chen Yang accept his challenge? Is he stupid?”
The appearance of a disciple from the nine heavens on a Heaven Rankings martial stage drew the attention of everyone. The spectator platform erupted in confusion.
This challenge benefited Chen Yang in no way. If he won, he gained nothing. If he lost, he would forfeit his rank and half his points. Those points were precious, as they were the currency within the Starry River Palace. They could be used to exchange for all kinds of treasures.
Just then, the martial stage flashed, indicating that they could start.
“They’re starting!”
“I want to see just who this Long Chen is to dare to challenge someone on the Heaven Rankings!”
“I also want to see what Chen Yang is up to. Why’d he accept the challenge of an ant? Is it just to crush a newbie?”
Countless eyes locked onto Long Chen’s martial stage.
Just then, starlight flashed on the martial stage. The barrier between Long Chen and Chen Yang vanished.
“Hmph.”
Chen Yang snorted. Crushing his tablet, he vanished.
“What?”
An uproar exploded amongst the spectators.
“Is he crazy?! Chen Yang admitted defeat?!”
“What is going on?!”
“Cheating! This is cheating!”
“They’re using such a method to send Long Chen to the Heaven Rankings?!”
The crowd went wild. Was this not the most brazen of all cheating? Chen Yang had reached the Heaven Rankings with great difficulty. Why would he give up his position and half his points so easily? Did he perhaps take a blow to the head?
As Long Chen vanished from the martial stage, the tablet in his hand flashed. New words appeared. Heaven: 9987. He also saw a line of characters that represented his new points.
“Hehe, clever, right?” Qu Yingying took his tablet and smiled brightly. “Big sister can only help you this far. The rest is up to you.”
She did something to the tablet. Its color shifted, fluctuating between white and red.
Handing it back to Long Chen, Qu Yingying said, “You’re now a Heaven Ranker, so you’ll have to face other people’s challenges.
Just as she said this, she smiled craftily. Long Chen was immediately transported back to the martial stage.
