"If he can win one more round, he'll achieve Ranking Ascension!"
"Ranking Ascension isn't the same as merely making the ranking. Once he achieves Ranking Ascension, his name will remain on the Golden Scale Ranking for sixty years without being erased. Both the cultivator himself and the heaven he comes from will enjoy at least sixty years of protection from Emperor Youyun's Martial Fortune!"
"If he achieves Ranking Ascension, our True Martial Heaven Cultivation World will no longer be so helpless once the barrier is lifted."
Hearing this, the Guest Elders all began discussing it excitedly.
But just as their discussion grew heated, A Meng frowned and threw a bucket of cold water over them. "I have some understanding of Taiping's cultivation and strength. That physique of his, along with the blade techniques he hasn't used today, both rank among the best of his generation. But his opponent in the next round is Mu Yun, the Young Master of Guangling Pavilion."
At this point, he raised his head and gave Prefect Liu Chuxuan a long look before continuing:
"The Mu Family of Guangling Pavilion are descendants of that Azure Emperor from Ancient Times. They make at least the top six at every Golden Scale Assembly."
Hearing this, the Guest Elders, who had been discussing things so heatedly, all fell silent at once.
They might not know Mu Yun, but they could not possibly be ignorant of Guangling Pavilion.
After all, it was a sect that ranked among the renowned names across the Five Heavens.
"A Meng, we must have something to hope for. Perhaps Taiping will surprise us again, just as he did today?"
Prefect Liu Chuxuan remained very optimistic.
Xu Taiping making it through the first round had already far exceeded his expectations, so he could accept either victory
