As the fifteen Dao-Shedding Stage cultivators completed their challenges, the other disciples also began challenging one another in succession.
However, in the second round of ranking battles, each person had only five opportunities to issue a challenge.
Thus, all the disciples were extremely cautious.
Moreover, during the second round of ranking battles, they could send their divine souls into the Ten-Thousand Dao Pillars to observe the battles of other disciples.
That way, they could assess their opponents' strength through watching the battles before deciding whether to challenge them.
For a time, the Myriad Dao Arena was not as intense as it had been in the first round.
Many disciples were waiting.
Lu Ren stood within the space of his own Ten-Thousand Dao Pillar. Seeing that no one had challenged him for a long while, his eyes flickered slightly.
"Since no one is challenging me, then I'll take the initiative!"
Lu Ren raised his eyes toward the rankings.
He was currently ranked sixtieth. According to the second-round rules, his first challenge could target disciples ranked between twentieth and fiftieth.
As long as he succeeded, he could take the other party's rank.
On the Ten-Thousand Dao Platform.
Many eliminated disciples saw that Lu Ren seemed prepared to issue a challenge, and anticipation filled their faces.
"Lu Ren is making his move!"
"If he wants to keep climbing, he'll definitely challenge someone ranked between twentieth and fiftieth!"
"At last, we'll get to see his true strength!"
It was not only those disciples.
Even the five Daoists and quite a few elders fixed their gazes on the Ten-Thousand Dao Pillar where Lu Ren was located.
Previously, although Lu Ren had displayed astonishing methods and had even been able to deliberately control his score in the first round—
The first round had not allowed spectators.
