Ultimate Scheming System

“At this moment, in the downtown of Baihui City, Xu Que and Ling Feng were standing in front of a round stone platform the diameter of which was about 100 yards. This platform had thickly dotted spell formations on its edges. The one who dropped off of the stone platform would be deemed the loser of the fight.

“My fellow cultivator, let me tell you something first. When we go up to the top of this platform, a Life and Death Pavilion will appear, where magic arts can drop out randomly. Then we will have one hour to acquire the magic art we want. One hour later, the Life and Death Pavilion will disappear, which means the fight between us will begin!”

At this time, Ling Feng introduced the rules of the Life and Death Ring to Xu Que. It seemed as if he was trying to let Xu Que know that the fight between them was absolutely fair.

“Also, if either of us uses the magic arts we’ve acquired before, the spell Array on the Life and Death Ring will be activated, which is as powerful as the attack of a cultivator at the Heaven Celestial Stage with full power!” Ling Feng added something at last.

Xu Que said with a smile, “Anything else?

“Once we step onto this platform and carve our names in it, if both of us are in this city in the future, either of us could challenge the other one at any time. No matter where the other one is, he will be teleported to the Life and Death Ring immediately!” Ling Feng said calmly after a short hesitation.

“Anything else?” Xu Que repeated.

Ling Feng frowned and said, shaking his head, “No! Actually, I don’t know where you come from. However, you can find the Life and Death Ring in almost all big ancient cities in this world. The rank in the Heavenly Tripod List is based on the result of the fights held in these platforms. According to your strength, I’m sure you are on the Heavenly Tripod List and should know the rules of the Life and Death Ring, unless you’ve just risen immortally to the World of Near Celestials!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, anything else?” Xu Que asked once more.

Ling Feng, who couldn’t suppress his irritation, said angrily, “What do you mean?”

“Are you insane? I don’t need your explanations and introductions! The onlookers might think you are bluffing! I mean, have you finished spouting your useless nonsense? If so, we can fight now!” Xu Que shouted wickedly.

“Humph!” Ling Feng snorted as he jumped up onto the top of the stone platform.

Then, a faint halo appeared on the platform. From the halo, people could see some words—Ling Feng from Baihui City. Apparently, this was not the first time for him to fight in the Life and Death Ring.

Xu Que smiled a bit. Then he also jumped up onto the platform.

Whoosh!

When he landed on the platform, a blank halo appeared in front of him. Seeing that, all the onlookers were stunned, including Ling Feng.

“No name?”

“Holy sh*t! This guy hasn’t fought in the Life and Death Ring before!”

“Indeed, this is the first time for him! Otherwise, his name would appear in the halo!”

“Those mysterious cultivators on the Heavenly Tripod List don’t want to reveal their names. But they use some special symbols to replace their name. This guy has nothing in the halo, which means this is definitely the first time for him to step into the Life and Death Ring!”

“D*mn! No wonder he dares to challenge Ling Feng, because he is a fearless and ignorant person!”

Many people were discussing this in surprise.

Qin Susu and the old man in the white robe, who were also standing in the crowds, were surprised by this scene.

“As expected, he is not one of the mysterious sovereigns on the Heavenly Tripod List. Otherwise, he is definitely powerful enough to enter the top five of the Half-List!” Qin Susu said seriously.

“It seems I didn’t back the wrong horse! I guess this guy has just risen immortally. His talents and strength are extraordinary! He is the perfect candidate!” The old man in the white robe said delightedly as if he had found something precious.

“Grandpa, this is my last warning! Don’t get any naughty ideas!” Qin Susu, who sensed something was wrong, warned again.

…..

At the same time, Xu Que was looking at the blank halo in front of him. Then he started to write something in it with his Celestial Core Power.

“The Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome?” Seeing that, the onlookers were totally confused.

“Is The Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome a name?”

“How could someone use awesome in his name?”

“And what the hell is this Exploding Heavens Faction?

I’ve never heard of it!”

Many people were talking in surprise.

“Is your name The Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome?”

In the Life and Death Ring, Ling Feng also asked as he looked at Xu Que with puzzlement, and said, “I remember your name is Bai Zhantang, right?”

“It’s none of your business! Now my name is The Exploding Heavens Faction Is Awesome!” Xu Que said proudly.

Ling Feng snorted. “I don’t care what your name is! I just hope you will honor your words when you lose later!”

“Heh, heh. Me? Lose? Sorry, the Exploding Heavens Faction has never lost before!” Xu Que said with a cold smile.

Boom!

Just at this time, a dull sound came from the Life and Death Ring. Then the Void was distorted to open a big door. Nobody knew what was hiding behind that door.

Swish!

Suddenly, an air-rending sound rang out. Dozens of lights flew out from the door and started to fly around Xu Que and Ling Feng rapidly. Ling Feng squinted his eyes slightly. Then he grabbed one strand of light with his hand.

Patter!

That light was stopped and became a jade slip in his hand. Then the onlookers saw the words on it —The Amethyst Blaze Lightsaber Sword Art!

Wow! The onlookers exclaimed, “It is a sword art! It seems Ling Feng has a great chance to win this time!”

“The Life and Death Pavilion always throws out strange but lousy magic arts. Only those blade or sword arts are effective in a fight!”

“Ha, hah, it is hard to estimate the result if both of them get a sword art. After all, the sword arts can be divided on different levels!”

“I guess the sword art obtained by Ling Feng is pretty good! Now let’s see what that ‘The Exploding Heavens Faction Is Awesome’ could get!”

People started to look at Xu Que.

Xu Que was also staring at those lights flying around. When he found it was impossible to see them clearly, he didn’t want to waste his time. So he asked the System to activate the Lucky Aura for him!

Whoosh!

The next moment, he waved his hand and grabbed a strand of light.

Patter! The light became a jade slip and fell into his hand. Then he saw the words on it—The Drunken Immortal Fist!

Seeing that, the onlookers were puzzled.

“A fist art?”

“Alas! This guy is doomed!”

“A fist art can never defeat a sword art!”

“But the name of this fist art is quite weird for there is an Immortal in it!”

“So what? Do you mean any magic art with an immortal in the name is powerful?”

“Exactly! If the immortal is deleted, it will become the drunken fist! Hah, hah, how hilarious! How could a man fight when he is drunk?”

Many people laughed as they looked at Xu Que with sympathy, thinking he was really unlucky.

Ling Feng said as he looked at Xu Que coldly, “This is the will of Heaven! You still have time to admit defeat. Otherwise, you will end up in a bad way later!”

“Holy sh*t!” Hearing that, Xu Que was annoyed. “I dare you to say that again!”

Ling Feng didn’t want to annoy Xu Que for he was worried Xu Que would eat his words when he was defeated in the fight later. So he tried to convince Xu Que to give up. He didn’t expect Xu Que to get so upset.

The onlookers were also embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Ling Feng let out a sigh. “I don’t want to waste my words on you!” After saying that, he started to acquire the magic art in his jade slip.

According to the rules, they had one hour to acquire the magic art they had obtained. After that, the Life and Death Ring would be activated officially and would no longer restrict their Celestial Core Power. Before stepping onto the platform, Ling Feng had lowered his Cultivation Stage to the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage. After obtaining his magic art, he didn’t want to waste his time on Xu Que. The more he could acquire in one hour, the higher the possibility he could win in the upcoming fight!

“Humph! How despicable you are! How dare you insult me?” Xu Que shouted again. However, it seemed he didn’t want to acquire the jade slip in his hand immediately. In fact, when he obtained the jade slip, he had asked the System to acquire it. He didn’t need to acquire it himself. Now, the Drunken Immortal Fist had been stored in his memory! However, this Drunken Immortal Fist was more or less similar with the Drunken Fist he knew. The more drunk he was, the more powerful this fist art would be. It seemed there was no upper limit for the power of the Drunken Immortal Fist! If he could keep conscious, the more drunken he was, the more powerful this fist art would be!

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems I need to make some preparations first!” Xu Que laughed as he activated the System. “System, what do you have in the store? I need some hard liquor!”

“Wow, it seems this Ten-Millennium Monkey Liquor is pretty good! I will buy several cases!”

“The Ten-Millennium Maotai? After so long a time, is it still drinkable? Forget it! I will buy ten cases!”
