Ye Xuan nodded and accepted the spatial ring without hesitation.
Inside were 10,000 low-grade immortal stones, his reward for ten consecutive wins.
Each win earns a reward of 1,000, and ten wins total 10,000.
Of course, if you successfully challenge Half-Emperor Rankings expert, the rewards will be much more generous.
It must be said that this Half-Emperor Pavilion is quite generous to its challengers.
Although signing up for the challenge is very dangerous, one wrong move could be fatal.
But if one succeeds in the challenge, the reward will be enough to tempt anyone.
Ye Xuan put away the spatial ring, feeling quite pleased.
He was thinking, since the other party had already given him a reward, should he pull off one more job before leaving?
Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.
The alluring woman did not leave, but stood there with her body bowed.
Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't chase her away, she immediately smiled charmingly, knelt down on the other side of Ye Xuan, and then stretched out her slender fingers to help peel the fruit.
"Senior, please feel free to give me any orders. I will fulfill any request."
As the alluring woman peeled the fruit and fed the shells to Ye Xuan, she said something while looking down.
Ye Xuan enjoyed the alluring woman's service, but inwardly he sneered.
He knew without even thinking that this was a tactic employed by the Half-Emperor Pavilion.
The Half-Emperor Pavilion is using these things to tempt him, wanting him to serve the Half-Emperor Pavilion.
Ye Xuan nodded, but didn't say anything more, nor did he respond to the alluring woman's words.
The alluring woman felt a slight disappointment, but she didn't dare show it on her face.
People like them, raised by the Half-Emperor Pavilion from a young age, are all just tools.
A tool for winning people over.
Of course, they were all aware of their fate.
Therefore, as long as they can meet someone they don't dislike, that would be the greatest happiness.
She didn't dislike Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan was a scholar and his complexion was a bit sallow, he was still very attractive.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan seemed to have absolutely no interest in her.
Of course, she had no idea of Ye Xuan's identity; all she saw was Ye Xuan's disguise. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been so calm.
Just then, on the enormous battle platform outside...
Gale has already begun fighting against the powerhouse ranked 100th on the Half-Emperor Rankings.
The one ranked 100th on the Half-Emperor Rankings was a young man who looked quite young. He wielded a long spear, which moved with the speed and power of a dragon.
Unfortunately, his opponent was the Gale.
With just three moves, Gale defeated the guy at the bottom of the Half-Emperor Rankings, easily earning the qualification to challenge the 90th-ranked player.
Seeing this, cheers erupted from the crowd, a deafening roar.
Almost everyone was shouting the name of the Gale.
The alluring female cultivator serving Ye Xuan looked at the majestic and proud Kuang Feng Gale in the center of the battle platform, and her eyes also filled with admiration.
But she quickly and perfectly concealed it.
She knew that, given her level, she was not qualified to serve Tianjiao like Gale.
She doesn't even have the right to seduce or tempt others.
Right now, all she needs to do is serve the Mad Saber in front of her well, and that's enough for her.
Ye Xuan looked at the Gale on the battle platform, his eyes showing little emotion.
In his view, although the Gale was strong, it was naturally incomparable to his own strength.
Let alone comparing him to him, this guy is far inferior to Devil Moon.
The alluring woman clearly caught the disdain in Ye Xuan's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
This senior, Mad Saber, seems to look down on Gale. Could it be that he is stronger than Gale?
Her heart started racing; it seemed unlikely.
However, if that's really the case, then she's struck gold.
You see, she serves Mad Saber, and the more outstanding Mad Saber is, the greater the benefits she will receive.
Even though she ultimately failed to seduce Mad Saber.
Feeling a bit bored, Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Um, how much longer until it's my turn to fight?"
Upon hearing this, the alluring female cultivator respectfully replied, "Senior, please wait a moment. Our Half-Emperor Pavilion has already gone to invite the experts on the Half-Emperor Rankings; they will arrive soon."
"With your strength, you should have been challenging the 100th Half-Emperor Rankings. Unfortunately, it's very unfortunate that Senior Gale achieved ten consecutive victories before you."
"Therefore, according to the rules, you need to challenge the ninety-ninth person. If the ninety-ninth person is no longer there and cannot appear within the specified time, you need to challenge the ninety-eighth person, and so on."
"Of course, no matter who you challenge, their ranking will definitely be after ninety-one, including ninety-one."
Ye Xuan nodded; he naturally understood these things.
After all, we are all cultivators, and it's impossible for us to stay in Starry Sky City forever.
What if we go out on a mission, search for resources, or something else happens?
In that case, you won't be able to summon them to participate in the challenge at all.
Gale was lucky; the guy who ranked 100th happened to be there.
After successfully reaching 100th place, Gale quickly began challenging 90th place.
The powerhouse ranked ninetyth was a cold and aloof female cultivator, and also a sword cultivator.
However, it was still no match for the incredibly powerful Gale.
With just five moves, Gale easily defeated his opponent, once again igniting the entire arena.
The crowd erupted in cheers, a deafening roar.
Its reputation as Gale was unparalleled for a time.
Even those cultivators who came to watch the battle because of Ye Xuan were now so excited by the power of the Gale that they had completely forgotten about Ye Xuan.
···
Inside the mansion, Devil Moon had just finished her cultivation and was hesitating whether to send a telepathic message to Ye Xuan so the two could communicate.
Suddenly, she received a message.
Today, two cultivators have achieved a remarkable ten-consecutive-title victory, earning them the qualification to challenge the powerhouses on the Half-Emperor Rankings.
The powerful individual named Gale has decisively defeated the 90th-ranked individual and is currently challenging the 80th-ranked individual.
"Hmm? Gale? Mad Saber?" Devil Moon was somewhat shaken upon receiving this message.
"I've heard of Gale; he's already quite famous in Starry Sky City. But who is this Mad Saber, and why have I never heard of him before?"
As Devil Moon pondered this, the first person that came to mind was Ye Xuan.
Because in the Half-Emperor City, the number of powerful individuals is still relatively small, especially those who can make a name for themselves.
Even if they haven't joined the three major powers, everyone has heard of them.
But she had never heard of this Mad Saber before.
It's rather strange that even she hadn't heard of it.
Given that Ye Xuan has recently been in Starry Sky City, it's understandable that she would connect the Ye Xuan to him.
"Could it really be him? It can't be, right? At this critical juncture, how could he dare to go to a place like the Half-Emperor Pavilion? Is he courting death?"
Devil Moon suddenly became a little nervous.
Her reason told her that Ye Xuan wasn't stupid and would definitely not challenge the Half-Emperor Pavilion; that would be too ostentatious.
That Mad Saber could never be Ye Xuan.
But thinking of Ye Xuan's madness and audacity, she felt that the Mad Saber was very likely Ye Xuan.
This made her uneasy for a moment, not because she liked Ye Xuan, but because she was worried about Ye Xuan.
It's because of the Slave Mark.
What will happen to her if Ye Xuan dies?
"No, I have to go check it out."
Devil Moon thought to herself, then quickly got up and left the mansion.
