By the time Lin Ke and the others arrived, Year Festival Square was already packed with people.
All the arenas had been rearranged.
A hundred arenas formed a ring around the perimeter of Year Festival Square, while a massive stone tablet more than a hundred feet tall occupied its center.
Golden characters floated across the stone tablet.
A closer look revealed that the golden characters actually recorded the disciples' standings on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking.
Rain Spider True Person sat cross-legged beneath the stone tablet, updating the standings on it in real time.
"We can actually watch the rankings update in real time now?"
Everyone stopped to watch, and Lin Quan-meng could not help exclaiming, "What is the sect trying to do?"
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps it's to motivate the disciples more effectively."
Only three days remained before this trial ended.
The rankings would be finalized in three days.
During this period, everyone would choose to give their all to secure a place in the top hundred.
In the earlier contests, the rankings had been updated with a delay. After the day's battles ended, the results would not be announced until the start of the following day.
But that left quite a few disciples lacking motivation. Once their rankings were secure, they would avoid battles rather than advance.

It would encourage those coming up from behind while also keeping those ahead from slacking off.
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the stone tablet.
Judging by the changes in the rankings, the disciples currently in the top hundred were battling fiercely.
That was especially true of those ranked between thirtieth and
