Fang Hao finished his meditation in the Immortal Cave, feeling the surging Qi within his body, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart.

"Being able to defeat Bao Zhijian in the Secret Realm proves that I already have the strength to challenge the Inner Sect dragon ranking!"

A confident light flashed in his eyes, "It is time to test my true combat strength!"

He immediately set off for the Inner Sect Martial Arts Hall.

This was the location for dragon ranking challenges, and there were always Disciples here sparring and competing on ordinary days.

The Martial Arts Hall was bustling with noise, and many Disciples were watching the duels of experts on the ranking.

A huge jade wall hung in the center, with a hundred names flickering on it—this was the Inner Sect dragon ranking.

Fang Hao scanned it, looking from the bottom up.

Finally, at ninety-seventh place, he saw a familiar name—Zhao Ping, one of Bao Zhijian’s followers.

"Let’s start here." Fang Hao smiled slightly and walked towards the challenge registration desk.

The Deacon Disciple looked up at him: "Name, cultivation level, and target of the challenge?"

"Fang Hao, Foundation Establishment Early Stage, challenging the ninety-seventh place on the dragon ranking, Zhao Ping."

The Deacon Disciple paused his pen, looking him over with surprise: "Foundation Establishment Early Stage challenging ninety-seventh place? Junior Brother, the dragon ranking is not something to play around with."

Several Disciples nearby also gathered around:

"Are you a newcomer? You don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"Wanting to get on the ranking at Foundation Establishment Early Stage? You’re dreaming!"

"Zhao Ping is at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and his Gale Sword Technique is very powerful!"

Fang Hao said calmly: "I have my own sense of measure, please register, Senior Brother."

The Deacon Disciple shook his head and registered it: "Tomorrow at the hour of the dragon, at Arena No. 3. If you lose, you must pay a challenge fee of ten contribution points."

Fang Hao nodded and left, with snickers coming from behind:

"Come watch the joke tomorrow!"

"Daring to challenge at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he’s truly crazy!"

Fang Hao turned a deaf ear and went straight to find Zhao Ping to issue the challenge letter.

Zhao Ping was Cultivating and was stunned for a long time when he heard the news: "Fang Hao? That newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple? Challenging me?"

The messenger Disciple laughed: "Senior Brother Zhao, this is contribution points delivered to your door!"

Zhao Ping sneered: "Perfect! Senior Brother Bao has long wanted to teach him a lesson, watch how I deal with him tomorrow!"

The news spread quickly.

A Foundation Establishment Early Stage challenging the ninety-seventh place on the dragon ranking, this was fresh news!

Many Disciples prepared to come and watch the excitement tomorrow.

After Bao Zhijian found out, he specifically found Zhao Ping: "Beat him to death tomorrow! Cripple him!"

Zhao Ping patted his chest: "Rest assured, Senior Brother Bao! I will definitely make him crawl off the arena!"

On the second day at the hour of the dragon, Arena No. 3 was crowded with people.

Everyone wanted to see how this ignorant newcomer would make a fool of himself.

Zhao Ping arrived early, standing with his sword in his arms, looking arrogant.

Bao Zhijian brought a few followers to cheer him on from the side.

Lin Wan also rushed over upon hearing the news, pulling Liang Ling worriedly: "Senior Sister Liang, is Junior Brother Ning being too impulsive?"

Liang Ling said indifferently: "He has his own sense of measure."

At the hour of the dragon, Fang Hao arrived on time.

Dressed in green, his expression was calm, as if he were just out for a walk.

"Fang Hao! It’s not too late to admit defeat now!" Zhao Ping mocked, "Kneel and beg for mercy, and I will spare you!"

The watching Disciples roared with laughter.

Fang Hao ignored him and walked straight onto the arena.

The referee Elder arrived: "dragon ranking challenge, Fang Hao versus Zhao Ping. Stop at the point of contact, do not take lives. Begin!"

Zhao Ping struck first: "Gale Sword Technique!" The sword momentum was like the wind, incomparably sharp!

Fang Hao was unhurried, using Divine Spirit Steps to dodge easily.

"Only know how to dodge? Trash!" Zhao Ping’s offensive became fiercer, the sword wind whistling!

Fang Hao continued to dodge, seemingly testing the opponent’s strength.

Bao Zhijian sneered under the stage: "Only know how to dodge! See how long you can hide!"

The watching Disciples also jeered:

"Fight! Don’t just dodge!"

"He really is trash!"

Zhao Ping couldn’t win after a long time, and became angry from embarrassment: "Let me show you the real Gale Sword Technique!"

The sword momentum changed, and a gale rose suddenly!

The Sword Qi turned into a tornado, sweeping across the arena!

Fang Hao’s eyes narrowed: "It’s my turn."

Dividing Light Sword Shadow was unleashed!

Nine sword shadows pierced directly through the tornado!

"What?!" Zhao Ping was greatly shocked.

His ultimate move had been easily broken!

Fang Hao took the opportunity to attack, sword shadows like rain, forcing Zhao Ping to retreat repeatedly!

"Impossible!" Zhao Ping roared, countering with all his might.

But Fang Hao’s sword technique was exquisite, always able to get a step ahead!

After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, Zhao Ping began to show signs of defeat.

Fang Hao saw the opportunity and pointed out with Star Shattering Finger!

"Puff!" The finger force pierced through the sword net and struck Zhao Ping’s wrist!

"Ah!" Zhao Ping’s long sword flew out of his hand!

Fang Hao’s sword tip was already pointing at his throat!

"I accept your courtesy." Fang Hao retracted his sword.

The whole scene was silent.

Everyone was stunned!

Foundation Establishment Early Stage, defeating Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in ten moves?! How is this possible!

The referee Elder was stunned for a moment before announcing: "Fang Hao wins! dragon ranking ninety-seventh place, Fang Hao!"

Suddenly there was an uproar!

"He really won?!"

"What is this Fang Hao’s background?!"

"He’s too strong!"

Zhao Ping looked ashen, standing stunned on the spot.

Bao Zhijian’s face turned livid, he glared fiercely at Fang Hao, and flicked his sleeves to leave.

Lin Wan cheered: "Junior Brother Ning is amazing!"

A look of approval also flashed in Liang Ling’s eyes.

Fang Hao stepped off the stage calmly and registered his results.

The Deacon Disciple’s attitude changed greatly, and he said respectfully: "Junior Brother Ning... no, Senior Brother Ning! You can continue to challenge; you have three challenge opportunities every month."

Fang Hao nodded: "Tomorrow I will challenge the ninetieth place."

The news spread quickly.

The newcomer Fang Hao defeated Zhao Ping in one move, surging straight to the ninety-seventh place on the dragon ranking!

The entire Inner Sect was shocked!

The next day, more people came to watch Fang Hao challenge the ninetieth place, Sun Lie.

Sun Lie was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Peak, and his Blazing Fire Palm was incomparably fierce.

But Fang Hao defeated him in just five moves!

Five Elements Spirit Shield perfectly countered fire-type Cultivation Techniques!

On the third day, Fang Hao challenged the eighty-third place, Chen Feng!

It was that old enemy from the same courtyard!

Chen Feng gritted his teeth: "Fang Hao! Don’t think you’re amazing just because you’re on the dragon ranking!"

Fang Hao said calmly: "Please."

Chen Feng attacked with all his might, but was knocked away by Fang Hao in three moves!

The gap in strength was too big!

Three days, three battles, Fang Hao’s ranking soared!

The Inner Sect was shaken!

"This Fang Hao is too strong!"

"Foundation Establishment Early Stage fighting Foundation Establishment Middle Stage like cutting melons and vegetables!"

"Is he going to charge into the top fifty?"

Bao Zhijian couldn’t sit still.

Fang Hao’s progress was too fast, and the threat was too great!

He secretly contacted experts in the top fifty of the dragon ranking, promising heavy rewards: "Whoever cripples Fang Hao, I, Bao Zhijian, will definitely reward them heavily!"

Fang Hao paused his challenges, going into seclusion to digest what he had gained from the battles.

The three battles had given him a lot, and he needed time to consolidate.

Seven days later, Fang Hao came out of seclusion and directly challenged the sixtieth place, Li Yan!

Li Yan was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and his strength was tyrannical.

This battle was very difficult for Fang Hao, and in the end, he narrowly won by relying on the newly practiced empty clarity mirror!

Sixtieth place on the dragon ranking!

A Foundation Establishment Early Stage fighter entered the top sixty!

The Inner Sect was in an uproar!

"Monster! He is absolutely a monster!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"This ability to fight across levels is too terrifying!"

"Could he charge into the top thirty?"

Bao Zhijian was completely panicked.

Fang Hao’s speed of progress was far beyond imagination!

He personally sought out the thirty-fifth place on the dragon ranking, Zhang Kuang: "Junior Brother Zhang, as long as you cripple Fang Hao, I will give you three ningyuan pills!"

Zhang Kuang was tempted: "Rest assured, Senior Brother Bao, leave it to me!"

Fang Hao learned of Zhang Kuang’s challenge and knew it was Bao Zhijian’s trick.

But he was not afraid at all: "Just right to test my true strength!"

Before the battle, Liang Ling specifically came to find him: "Zhang Kuang is at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage Peak, with half a foot into the Golden Core, and is extremely vicious. Be careful."

Fang Hao nodded: "Thank you, Senior Sister, I have my own sense of measure."

On the day of the arena battle, it was packed with people.

Everyone wanted to see if Fang Hao could create another miracle.

Zhang Kuang stood proudly on the arena, grinning: "Kid, it’s not too late to admit defeat! Otherwise, fists and feet have no eyes!"

Fang Hao stepped onto the stage calmly: "Please."

The battle began!

Zhang Kuang was indeed ferocious!

The fist wind was fierce, and the Qi was violent!

Fang Hao fell into a bitter battle!

Five Elements Spirit Shield vibrated repeatedly, and the Dividing Light Sword Shadow struggled to break his defense!

Fang Hao was forced to retreat step by step!

"It’s over! Fang Hao is going to lose!"

"Zhang Kuang is too strong!"

Bao Zhijian sneered triumphantly.

But Fang Hao was not flustered at all, secretly operating the Ethereal Art, looking for flaws.

After a hundred moves, Zhang Kuang couldn’t win after a long time and became increasingly irritable: "Kid! See how long you can last!"

Fang Hao’s eyes suddenly lit up: "It’s now!"

The empty clarity mirror was unleashed!

Space distorted!

Zhang Kuang’s movements stalled!

Star Shattering Finger was unleashed with full force!

It pierced directly through the defense!

"Puff!" Zhang Kuang vomited blood and flew backward!

He fell heavily off the arena!

The whole scene was dead silent!

Then, earth-shaking cheers erupted!

"He won! He won again!"

"Foundation Establishment Early Stage defeating Late Foundation Establishment Stage Peak! A miracle!"

"Thirty-fifth place on the dragon ranking! Fang Hao!"

Bao Zhijian’s face turned pale, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Fang Hao retracted his energy and stood still, his breath steady.

In this battle, he had truly tested his strength!

The referee Elder announced loudly: "Fang Hao wins! Thirty-fifth place on the dragon ranking!"

Fang Hao looked at Bao Zhijian, who had a livid face under the stage, and smiled slightly.

Bao Zhijian gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeves to leave.

The news of Fang Hao’s consecutive victories spread throughout the Sect.

Born a servant, Foundation Establishment Early Stage, thirty-fifth place on the dragon ranking. It could be called a legend.
