Chapter 1404 The Ranking List
Chapter 1404 The Ranking List
With Neil's help, Ricky and his companions reached the place where the Misty South Palace, the most powerful force in the Misty South, was located.
From a distance, all that one could see was a cluster of huge mountains. They were the highest peaks that Ricky had ever seen. To him, they looked like giants that were standing guard against the sky and the earth.
The aura they gave off was so strong that Ricky and any other living being that entered the area felt insignificant.
Ricky figured that the Misty South Palace was located here for that reason.
Shrouded in clouds and mist, seven huge, black palaces were sitting against the mountains. They were not as tall as the mountains, but their invisible momentum was incomparable.
Written on the biggest black palace were two words—"Misty South."
That made it clear that it was the first palace of the Misty South Palace.
The other six palaces were named after the deputy lords of the Misty South Palace.
"The Misty South Palace's seven palaces are more amazing than I imagined. Each one is like a huge world. I can see how this is the home to the most powerful force in the Misty South," Ricky said through telepathy as he swept his eyes over the seven ancient, solemn palaces.
"Just looking at the palaces is enough to fill a person's heart with vigor."
"The Misty South Palace is a lot more magnificent than the Dragon Island. Just its invisible aura is more impressive," the Dragon Intent Grass replied.
Mordechai and the others were all shocked into silence at the sight of the seven palaces.
"I heard that each one of the palaces is a supreme weapon. I don't know if it is true," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"What? All seven of the palaces are supreme weapons? Are you sure?" Ricky exclaimed, furrowing his eyebrows.
"You don't have the identity card of the Misty South Palace yet, do you?" Neil asked, turning to face Amelia.
"Unfortunately not. I'm here with them," Amelia replied in a worried tone.
"Neil, can't she enter without an identity card? Is it because she isn't a disciple of the Misty South Palace?" Ricky asked.
"Ha-ha. Don't worry about it. That's not why I asked," Neil said, shaking his head and laughing. "But because she is not a disciple of the Misty South Palace, she won't have her own cultivation place. If she wants to cultivate in certain areas and she needs to consume resources, she will have to use double the amount of resources."
At that moment, Ricky and the others noticed that many other disciples had arrived at the Misty South Palace. They were very similar to Ricky and his companions as they had also been admitted to the Misty South Palace.
They had been guided there by the senior disciples of the Misty South Palace, too.
But only Ricky and his companions had been escorted there by Mister Neil, a genius of the Misty South Palace.
Ricky and Neil were well-known, so many of the warriors approached and greeted them.
Afterward, they made their way into a huge square outside the seven palaces of the Misty South Palace.
There were a few giant statues standing around the square, but the most attractive item was a huge list in the center of the square. Tens of thousands of names were written on it.
On the left side of the huge list, two big words were carved—"Ranking List."
All of the newly arrived disciples were gathering around it, trying to see the names.
"This is the Ranking List of the disciples in the Misty South Palace. They are listed from strong to weak," Neil explained as he gestured at the Ranking List.
Many people's eyes traveled to the name at the top of the Ranking List—Mister Ryker. He was one of the disciples from the first palace that was qualified to compete for the First Mister.
Following his name was the Second Mister, then the Third Mister, and then Mister Neil.
The Fourth Mister, who Ricky had met before, ranked sixth.
'The top twenty are all famous geniuses in the Misty South!' Ricky thought as his eyes scanned the list over and over again. Although it was invisible, his fighting spirit had spread out.
In the Misty South Palace, there were so many geniuses. When the other geniuses from the other ancient clans and top forces were included, the number of geniuses doubled. Ricky rubbed his hands together eagerly as he thought of all the geniuses he would get to compete with in the future.
"Neil, Ryker's name is above the Second Mister's. That must mean that he is stronger than the Second Mister. Why isn't he the First Mister?" Claire asked in a low voice.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"You're right to assume that. Ryker is very powerful. He is considered as the number one genius in our Misty South Palace out of the warriors that are under the age of five hundred," Neil said with a laugh. "During a one-on-one fight, the Second Mister and the Third Mister are no match for him.
But if the three of us were to work together, he couldn't beat us.
If he wants to be the First Mister, he must be able to defeat the combination of the second, the third, and the fourth ranked members on the Ranking List. That is the rule of the Misty South Palace."
"I get it! Being the First Mister isn't an easy task!" Mordechai said with a sigh.
"It's true. The Misty South Palace is the most powerful force on the continent, and the First Mister must be the strongest genius on the continent. If the other forces' geniuses can defeat him, the name that the Misty South Palace has created for itself will be tarnished," Neil continued.
"If he doesn't have enough talent, he doesn't deserve the title of the First Mister.
After all, normally, the First Mister will become the next lord of the Misty South Palace.
All of us strive to become the First Mister."
"The First Mister?" Ricky murmured to himself.
He would be lying if he said he didn't want to become the First Mister. Ricky had no intention of becoming the lord of the Misty South Palace right now because he wasn't strong enough to uphold the position. But he still dreamed about being the lord one day.
And the first thing he needed to do in order to become the lord of the Misty South Palace was to earn the title of the First Mister.
'All right. I have to make it my next goal to become the First Mister, ' Ricky decided.
"Neil, how can get my name on the Ranking List and how do I improve my ranking?" Mordechai asked in a curious voice.
"Well, the first step is getting your identity card baptized by the Demon Eliminating Pool. The Ranking List is connected with the Demon Eliminating Pool," Neil answered. "Then, you must become a three- star middle spiritual emperor.
Once that is completed, your name will automatically appear on the Ranking List.
Raising your ranking is the easiest part. All you have to do is challenge anyone whose name is ahead of you. If you are strong enough, you can skip ahead and challenge Ryker. Then you will be the first one on the ranking list."
"Interesting. That type of challenge is very appealing to me," Mordechai said. The fighting spirit of his Sorcerous Combat Body rose in him.
As Mordechai's fighting spirit entered the air, Neil noticed and added, "It's not easy to pass the baptism of the Demon Eliminating Pool. Almost half of the disciples who return from the selection don't pass it." Neil smiled knowingly.
"What? Half of them get eliminated?" Claire asked, raising her eyebrows. "If they can't pass the baptism of the Demon Eliminating Pool, does that mean they won't be disciples of the Misty South Palace?"
