Chapter 73 Cousin Jiang Ruyue
"Tsk tsk, it's amazing, after only half a month in the inner courtyard, you have already jumped to the seventeenth place on the elite list.
On the other hand, I have been here for a long time, but I am still wandering at the bottom. "
Jiang Ruyue was smiling brightly, while Jiang Feng responded with a wry smile.
Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head when he heard this.
"Brother Jiang Feng and Senior Sister Jiang, your presence here is truly an honor to our humble home. From now on, this will be your second home."
He said this sincerely, secretly glad that they had come.
"I was just about to invite you two to a gathering, but I didn't expect you to be here first. You are so in tune with each other."
Shangguan Jiannan was particularly happy to meet again after a long separation.
"Manager Li, prepare the banquet and serve the wine. We must not go home until we are drunk today!" he ordered generously.
Under such hospitality, the three of them were in a good mood. Even Shangguan Jiannan, who usually didn't drink, made an exception and had a few drinks.
He realized that with so many guests coming and going in the mansion nowadays, it was necessary to prepare some fine wines.
After a few drinks, Shangguan Jiannan's cheeks turned red and he was already drunk.
"At this rate, Brother Jiannan will surely have a place in the battle for the Netherworld, and it won't be long before he wins glory for the sect!" They raised their glasses and drank together, the unfamiliarity between them instantly vanished.
Jiang Feng was amazed at Shangguan Jiannan's rapid growth. At this time, Jiang Ruyue suddenly reminded him, "There are only two months left before the Netherworld Ranking Tournament."
"The underworld..." These three words seemed to touch a string in Shangguan Jiannan's heart, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
The battle in the Netherworld is a major reshuffle of the rankings of the sects in the Apocalypse Dynasty, and it is the stage that all sect disciples dream of.
Jiang Ruyue's words made Shangguan Jiannan feel an indescribable excitement and desire.
He knew very well that the underworld contained endless opportunities and secrets, especially those legends related to the shadow system, which fascinated him.
Since a year ago, he has had an infinite longing for the underworld.
Now, he has ranked among the top elites. If he can give it his all, perhaps he can really stand out in the battle of the underworld.
"Only the top ten can participate in the battle."
He pondered secretly and had already made up his mind.
This battle is not only a test of his strength, but also a great opportunity for him to achieve self-transcendence and bring glory to the sect.
Shangguan Jiannan fell into deep thought, thinking to himself: "Two months passed in a flash! The elite list is full of strong people, and the further you go, the more unfathomable their strength becomes.
Even I am not sure that I can make it into the top ten.
Admittedly, I am now easily ranked 17th, but the road ahead is particularly bumpy. "
He sighed, "Two months, many challenges."
After a deeper understanding, Shangguan Jiannan had a clearer understanding of the difficulties and obstacles ahead.
After a long while, he shook his head gently, his tone revealing a bit of indifference: "It is indeed not easy."
"Brother Jiannan, cheer up, you will definitely succeed!" Jiang Ruyue encouraged gently, "I heard that the senior brothers and sisters from the previous class have made great progress in strength since returning from the Netherworld.
The opportunities there must be extraordinary.
Although they contributed a lot of treasures to the sect, they also gained a lot themselves."
After Jiang Ruyue's analysis, Shangguan Jiannan nodded in agreement.
He had also heard these rumors.
Many of the secret manuals and techniques in the Martial Arts Pavilion are treasures brought back from the netherworld by predecessors.
In addition, there are various rare materials, weapons and resources. Opportunities are everywhere in the underworld. If you can get involved, you will be able to greatly improve your cultivation.
The sect ranking battle is actually also a battle for resources.
Those sent by Tianjian Sect this time are all the best in the top ten of the elite list, plus thirty core disciples of the sect, to go to the Netherworld together.
Those who are not strong enough will only become a burden.
Therefore, strength is the only hard truth.
Shangguan Jiannan secretly vowed in his heart that he would go all out and work hard in the next two months.
The banquet ended and Jiang Feng and Jiang Ruyue left one after another.
Shangguan Jiannan, a little drunk, staggered back to his room and fell asleep.
The next morning, he was awakened by the urgent call of Manager Li and asked in confusion, "Manager Li, why are you so anxious?" Although he had rested all night, his head was still a little dizzy and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temple.
Elder Yin has arrived and is currently sitting in the living room, waiting for good news.
Manager Li paused for a moment, as if preparing for the next step, and then slowly said, "You must be surprised to hear this news."
"Why do you say that?! Master, he actually condescended to come in person!" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jiannan's drunkenness instantly disappeared, replaced by a heart full of astonishment and disbelief, and his words revealed a shock that was difficult to conceal.
