At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to a giant list suspended in the sky above the Illusory Martial Battle Pool.
It was none other than the "True Inheritance Spirit Ranking"!
Just like the Spirit Ranking of the Eight Great Inner Peaks, this trial area also had its Spirit Ranking displayed high above.
"In this third trial, can Jiang Yao and Ye Chen both surge into the top ten?"
"If they can reach the top ten after three trials, it means they have achieved the most outstanding results in all three trials!"
Everyone fixed their eyes on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking, their breaths tightening slightly.
In the stares of all, the entire True Inheritance Spirit Ranking emitted an endless golden radiance!
The golden radiance was something that would only appear when someone broke into the top ten of the Spirit Ranking!
It was within expectations for Jiang Yao to fight her way back into the top ten, but this Ye Chen, could he truly be a peerless genius, managing to break into the top ten upon his first completion of all three major trials?
All eyes were on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking.
Amidst the brilliance of the golden light, everyone saw the name "Jiang Yao" written in the third position on the list!
And looking further, everyone was shocked to the core; following the third position, in fourth place, was the name "Ye Chen" shining brightly!
Not only had Jiang Yao entered the third place of the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking, but Ye Chen had also reached the fourth!
In the sky, the elders and the strongest contenders of the Spirit Ranking glanced at the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking, their eyes bursting with intense light.
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had used just one day to pass through the three trial grounds and made their way into the top ten of the Spirit Ranking.
Not only into the top ten, but they also secured the third and fourth exceptional positions on the Spirit Ranking!
Ahead of them were only the two Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouses, "Jin Lieyang" and "Xue Jia."
Moreover, the only reason these two Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouses could lead was not merely because they had finished the trials of the three major trial grounds but had also accumulated true transmission points through other sect missions.
In contrast, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's comeback relied entirely on the true transmission points from the three major trial grounds!
This indicated that given more time to complete sect missions and gather true transmission points, it was not impossible for them to contend with the two Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouses on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking!
"Ye Chen and Jiang Yao are really too strong!"
"No wonder they didn't make a push for the Spirit Ranking earlier. Only at the last moment did they strike, with the absolute strength to enter the Spirit Ranking!"
"Because they have such overwhelming power, they didn't panic and were able to take a sure spot in the top ten at the very last moment, seizing the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb!"
In the midst of all the astonishment, everyone looked towards Ye Chen and Jiang Yao as they emerged from the true transmission point exchange area of the Illusory Martial Battle Pool.
The majority of their gazes, especially, were concentrated on Ye Chen.
Many beautiful female true disciples, even without realizing it, began to look at Ye Chen with a hint of affection.
Who wouldn't admire a powerful person?
What young girl wouldn't fancy a strong young man?
If it weren't for Jiang Yao by Ye Chen's side, these female disciples might have even flown over to Ye Chen to make his acquaintance!
"I have never seen Ye Chen make a move, yet he has fought his way to such heights!"
"He has broken into these rankings on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking!"
"I'd really like to spar with him to see just what Martial Skill he has cultivated, to see what makes him extraordinary?"
Such thoughts rose in the hearts of countless true disciples.
At this moment, several late-stage Linghai powerhouses standing in the sky could no longer hold back and "swoosh swoosh swoosh" flew toward Ye Chen in succession.
"Ye Chen, to achieve the fourth rank on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking with the three trials, I have great respect for your strength!"
"I, Wang Mao, challenge you on the True Inheritance Fighting Platform!"
The speaker was a youth dressed in the robes of "Qingzhu Peak," one of the Eight Great Inner Peaks of the Taixuan Sect.
Upon seeing this youth, many true disciples exclaimed, "It's Wang Mao, ranked seventh on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking. He has finally lost his patience and is initiating a challenge to Ye Chen!"
Following Wang Mao's declaration, several other late-stage Linghai Realm powerhouses who had flown to Ye Chen's side also spoke up.
"I, Zhao Xuan, also challenge you!"
"Brother Ye Chen, I, Chen Xing, wish to fight with you too!"
Discussions erupted once more, "Zhao Xuan ranked eighth on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking! Chen Xing sixth! Lu Yuan fifth! They are all challenging Ye Chen!"
"As expected, the powerhouses all have their pride. I can't wait to see Ye Chen's skills. These masters can't contain themselves anymore!"
In the midst of countless murmurs, Ye Chen turned to look at the youths who had issued the challenges.
He had heard from Jiang Yao that there was a tradition of challenge on the "True Inheritance Fighting Platform" among the true disciples of the Taixuan Sect, where one only challenges another on the platform if they truly acknowledge the opponent's strength.
Clearly, Ye Chen's abilities had won the recognition of these Spirit Ranking powerhouses, and they were ready to truly cross hands with him!
Naturally, Ye Chen would not refuse.
"Why not? Then let it be tomorrow, on the True Inheritance Fighting Platform, Ye Chen will exchange moves with you all!" Ye Chen said with a light smile, looking at them and agreeing without hesitation.
Ye Chen's words excited the onlooking true disciples, who began to scream with enthusiasm.
A battle among the top ten fighters on the Spirit Ranking was a rare sight indeed.
"Brother Ye Chen, we haven't met before, but just for your straightforwardness, I've decided you're a friend worth making!"
The challenging Spirit Ranking powerhouses all smiled.
As Ye Chen was speaking with the Spirit Ranking powerhouses, suddenly, the sky darkened as if black clouds had swept across, dimming the heavens in an instant.
Everyone looked up to the sky and was taken aback to see that a youth in black had appeared out of nowhere.
"Xue Jia! It's the Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse Xue Jia, the formidable figure who's ranked second on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking. He's here too!"
"Could it be that he's here for Ye Chen, too?"
Upon seeing the youth in black, many true disciples shouted in surprise.
"A Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse?" Ye Chen, hearing the exclamations of the true disciples beside him, also looked towards the youth in black.
As Ye Chen's gaze met with that of the youth in black, Xue Jia, the latter, holding a sword, spoke indifferently, yet his voice enveloped the entire area of the Illusory Martial Battle Pool, "Ye Chen? I've heard you're quite formidable. I, Xue Jia, also issue a challenge to you."
"Do you dare accept the challenge?"
Xue Jia's words surprised not only the onlooking true disciples but also the elders.
To know, a Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse was nearly an invincible existence below the Rotating Pill Realm. Such a figure was also challenging Ye Chen?
Upon hearing Xue Jia's challenge to Ye Chen, Jiang Yao tightened her grip on Ye Chen's hand, worried for him.
At that moment, Ye Chen squeezed Jiang Yao's hand reassuringly and gave her a comforting look. Then, as calmly as he faced the Spirit Ranking powerhouses earlier, he looked up at the youth in black in the sky and said with a faint smile, "Why should I not dare?"
