Monarch of Time

Looking at Shun Long and Liu Mei, the young man continued

''As soon as the ongoing Survival challenge ends, the previous challengers will appear on top of the giant teleportation formation.

Then, everyone who has already registered themselves for the upcoming survival challenge will step on the teleportation formation, before they are transferred to a secluded place outside of the Heaven's Dome city.

The challenge grounds are owned by our 'Golden Exchange firm', as well as the other 4 peak powers of the Heaven's Dome city, so outsiders will never intrude inside.

When you arrive at the challenge grounds, every person will be sent at a random direction, so it's pointless to try and form teams. The most important goal will be to survive.

Additionally, you must try to incapacitate any other challengers you can, and force them to use their own medallions to escape.

Once you arrive at the challenge grounds, you will then be given 1 ranking point in your medallion. The more opponents you defeat, the more ranking points you can obtain.

Every time that you force another challenger to escape... or kill them, you will automatically obtain their own ranking points in your own medallion.

Of course, if the person that you defeat had defeated another person before, in that case, you will obtain their cumulative ranking points that they have gathered during the trial.

3 days later, the trial will end, and the contestants who haven't been defeated will be transported back here.

In the end, the most important goal should be to survive, as the total ranking points that you will obtain, will allow your ranking inside the House to rise.''

After a moment's hesitation, the young man continued with a look of dread in his eyes

''However, even more dangerous than the other contestants are the powerful magic beasts that live in the challenge grounds. Some of them have even reached the rank 5, and even powerful cultivators at the early stages of the Nascent Soul stage will have to run from them!''

Shun Long nodded his head, as he and Liu Mei finally understood the rules of the House of Rankings.

Shun Long quickly understood, that this Survival Gate didn't just test personal strength, but also how careful someone was.

After all, even the strongest of the participants around him, were at the rank 4 of the Spirit realm, and in front of a rank 5 magic beast, that was equal to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they wouldn't even last a few moments.

Shun Long was also excited to fight against powerful Spirit realm cultivators. Although he didn't know if he would be able to beat a rank 4 Spirit realm cultivator just yet, he knew that he would definitely be able to put up a fight against them.

After his breakthrough to the Spirit realm, Shun Long believed that if he had to fight with the middle rank 3 Spirit realm Hao Jingguo again, he would be able to crush him effortlessly this time.

Even peak rank 3 Spirit realm cultivators wouldn't be able to last for too long against Shun Long if he fought with his full power.

Shun Long and Liu Mei then waited, until the ongoing Survival challenge ended.

Almost half a day later, a batch of almost 30 people had suddenly appeared on the giant teleportation circle in the middle of the hall, all at the same time.

Among these people, only a few of them seemed to be in a bad condition.

The rest of them were brimming with energy as they looked at each other with eyes filled with fighting intent.

Aside from one middle rank 5 Spirit realm expert, the rest of these people were all at the rank 4 of the Spirit realm.

The middle rank 5 Spirit realm cultivator had an arrogant expression as he stared at the people around him, and with a look that was filled with pride, he was the first one to step out of the teleportation circle as he left the Survival Gate's hall.

Soon, everyone else, including Shun Long and Liu Mei, walked up, as they stood on top of the gigantic teleportation circle in the middle of the hall.

Seeing that everyone was standing inside the circle, the employees of the House of Rankings covered the edges of the huge circle with more than 5000 middle-grade spirit stones, before they slowly backed away.

The runes inside the giant circle lit up and seemed to have magically connected with the middle-grade spirit stones around them.

As the runes of the circle lit up, the power inside them was actually increasing with every passing second, while the luster of the middle-grade spirit stones had started to dim rapidly in response.

It looked like the runes themselves were extracting the power from the middle-grade spirit stones, when suddenly, the familiar feeling of spatial teleportation covered Shun Long's body.

And yet, this feeling was somehow different from when Shun Long opened a space tear by himself.

Looking at Liu Mei next to him who was holding his left hand, Shun Long smiled, before his vision suddenly turned dark.

A bright golden light erupted from the large circle beneath his feet, as Shun Long could feel his body traveling through space.

A few moments later Shun Long opened his eyes, as he found himself on top of a small mountain, with a large and lush forest below.

The forest spanned as far as Shun Long's eyes could see, while the roars of angry magic beasts resounded in the distance.

After taking a look around him, Shun Long noticed that Liu Mei had disappeared from his side, but he had already expected that as well.

It was only natural that they would be split up after arriving in this place.

Among the cries of the magic beasts however, Shun Long also heard the sounds of swords clashing, just a few hundred meters away from the mountain he was standing on.

The auras of 2 rank 3 Spirit realm cultivators fighting with each other could be felt even from 5 miles away, let alone a few hundred meters.

Shun Long's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he jumped down from the mountain as he entered inside the forest, heading towards the sound of the fight.
