Feng Xi also noticed that many more spectators had gathered and thought that she shouldn't continue fighting.
She might as well pretend to lose this round.
After all, she had already earned enough money.
Just as she was thinking that, someone exclaimed, "That Niohuru Ball made it onto the Tian Kui Ranking! She's only won two matches, why is she ranked?!"
Feng Xi was baffled. Tian Kui Ranking? What's that thing?
The referee noticed her confusion and explained, "Our arena ranks contestants based on strength. It's called the Tian Kui Ranking. You are currently ranked three hundredth place, which is also the last place."
In his opinion, it's perfectly reasonable for Niohuru Ball to be ranked. She's in great perfection Qi Refining Stage yet had consecutively defeated two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. Naturally, the ranking stewards gave her a high score.
Feng Xi asked curiously, "What's the benefit of this Tian Kui Ranking? Is there prize money?"
Referee: …
This one's completely obsessed with money!
"There's no monetary reward, it's a form of honor.
Many independent cultivators take pride in making the Tian Kui Ranking.
Those ranked higher gain support and recognition among independent cultivators, and it becomes easier to receive invitations from clans or sects.
At present, only a Foundation Establishment Tian Kui Ranking exists. In the future, we'll introduce one for Golden Core Stage…"
Feng Xi's heart stirred.
She had always wanted to establish the Independent Cultivators' Alliance. If she could take first place on the Tian Kui Ranking, it might greatly benefit her.
So she immediately changed her mind, she couldn't lose, she had to win.
However, seeing the growing crowd, she sent a message to Jiang Ji, telling him and Jun Wen not to place further bets to avoid attracting attention.
When Jiang Ji received the message, he smiled.
It seemed he had worried too much, Little Junior Sister was very clear-headed.
Then he glanced at Jun Wen, this one still needed stricter education.
At this moment, another red-robed contestant stepped onto the stage.
He didn't conceal his appearance and was a somewhat fierce-looking middle-aged man.
The referee announced, "Red Robe, Shi Feng, independent cultivator, third layer of Foundation Establishment Stage."
Shi Feng cupped his fists toward the audience, "The previous two idiots lost because they underestimated their opponent. They deserved it!
Standing on the arena is standing on a life-and-death stage. To belittle your opponent is to seek death!
This round, I will go all out and let Niohuru Ball witness true Foundation Establishment strength!"
Many in the audience nodded, this Shi Feng looked much more reliable than the previous two!
He would definitely win!
Still, a small number of people thought Niohuru Ball's two consecutive victories couldn't have been mere luck, so they cautiously bet on Black Robe.
The referee was about to declare the match started when Feng Xi timidly raised a little paw, "Referee, I haven't given my speech yet."
Referee: …
You didn't want to speak last time, and now you do?
In her hoarse little voice, Feng Xi said, "If you trust me, bet on me to win. You won't regret it!
Trust me once, benefit for life!"
The spectators: …
How shameless can you be?!
Benefit for life?
Who do you think you are?!
Still, a few scattered individuals placed bets.
The match began.
This time, Feng Xi switched to Beast-Taming Sect sword techniques!
She had used Hunyuan Sect's sword techniques earlier to mess with Hunyuan Sect. Now that she aimed for the top of the Tian Kui Ranking, she definitely wouldn't give Hunyuan Sect any credit.
So she decided to rotate among the four sects' sword techniques, making her origins impossible to trace.
As for how she knew Beast-Taming Sect and Wan Jian Sect techniques?
From watching!
Although she hadn't grasped the essence, she could imitate enough to muddle through.
Shi Feng struggled for quite a while and couldn't even touch a strand of Feng Xi's hair, he grew a bit irritated.
Forget it. I'll use my ultimate move!
Surely this Qi Refining trash wouldn't be able to withstand it!
With a roar, a giant spiritual-energy bear lunged at Feng Xi!
Feng Xi waved her wooden sword and also unleashed her own ultimate move.
But something went wrong.
She had originally planned to transform the "foot" component into little feet, but what appeared was a plump little palm instead.
There's no time to worry about that now, who cares if it's a palm or a foot, if it worked, it worked!
Using her divine sense, Feng Xi controlled the little palm and gave the giant bear two resounding slaps!
The spiritual bear immediately became dim.
Shi Feng also reacted and directed the bear to swipe at the little palm with its claw.
Feng Xi didn't dodge and even chanted loudly, "You clap one, I clap one, a little child wears new clothes!
You clap two, I clap two, two children drop their handkerchief…"
Shi Feng was stunned with rage!
Are you here to fight or to play?!
Just as he was fuming, Feng Xi suddenly abandoned the bear and directed the little palm straight at him.
Caught completely off guard, Shi Feng was slapped clean off the stage.
By coincidence, the slap landed squarely on his face.
His face instantly swelled into a pig's head.
As he nearly vomited blood from anger, someone shouted joyfully, "Hahaha! I bet on Niohuru Ball! I made a killing!"
"Me too! That little palm slaps hard!"
"He's right, trust the Ball once, benefit for life!"
…
Below the stage, Jiang Ji and Jun Wen were frozen.
Wasn't Little Junior Sister's ultimate move the "kneel" character? How did it turn into a little palm?
Could ultimate moves be changed at will?
In actuality, Feng Xi's ignorance made her fearless. No one had ever told her that once an ultimate move was established, changing it could easily damage one's divine sense.
This round, she won another several hundred thousand spirit stones.
Soon, another red-robed contestant stepped up.
He was very confident.
He believed Niohuru Ball had already used her ultimate move once and she shouldn't be able to use it again.
As a result, Feng Xi's little palm slapped even more smoothly this time!
For symmetry, she gave him two slaps, one left, one right.
Next came several more confident challengers, all were slapped by Feng Xi.
All were slapped on the face.
Nice and orderly!
Flowing red robes, unshakable black robe.
Very soon, a rumor spread like wildfire.
In Foundation Establishment Arena No. 1, a lunatic had appeared, someone who specialized in slapping people across the face!
What was the name again?
Right, Niohuru Bastard!
