Chapter 239: The Thief
The two disappeared, and the people watching were confused, "Who won?"
"Are they both dead and their bodies gone?"
……
The curious people had all kinds of guesses. Then someone pointed to the sky and shouted:
"Look, there are changes in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking."
Ian ranked seventh and Zhao Yan ranked eighth.
"Could those two people just now be Ian and Zhao Yan?"
"That's probably the case. I think only the top ten have such strong fighting power."
"It's hard to say. If it's them, then why don't they sign up at the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce? If they win, they'll have a chance to win a grand prize!"
"Could it be that these two have some personal grudges that led them to fight privately? But that doesn't make sense. The strength of these two should be at the top of the Heavenly Ranking, right?"
……
Ian had already left and returned to the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce branch in Ente City. He gained a lot from this battle, and it also made him realize that there are many talented people in the Shen'en Continent, and the real geniuses will not show off everywhere.
On the other side, Zhao Yan's soul suffered a severe blow and he had no fighting ability. If Ian had not stopped in time, his life would be in danger. After feeling Ian leaving, he used his last bit of strength to hide in the darkness and leave the rocky hill.
When he returned to the courtyard and checked the Heavenly Ranking, he said with a grim face: "Ian? Is that Ian from the Avengers?"
The first three days of the Heavenly Ranking are the registration period, so the list changes in real time. After three days, it will only be updated once a day. The first three days are also the time for the Heavenly Ranking to measure the talents of the applicants and make preliminary screening judgments.
Not long after, a stream of fairy energy fell from the sky and flew into Ian's body. This stream of fairy energy was much less than before. Some people used the fairy energy to consolidate their foundation, some people used it to improve their realm, true energy, magic power and mental strength. Ian's foundation was already stable enough, and his mental strength was also stable enough, so he used it directly to condense true energy to replenish the light ball in the fifth dantian.
"Well, the immortal spirit energy doesn't need to be refined at all, it can be absorbed directly. It would be better if there was more."
Ian muttered to himself.
Suddenly, there was a noisy voice outside, "The thieves are here again..."
Ian opened the window and saw many people flying in the air looking for something, shouting something like "Catch the plane stealer".
Ian lived in the branch and asked through voice transmission: "President Li, what happened? Why is there so much noise?"
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, a thief has appeared. There will be thieves in every Golden List Competition. They will use special methods to intercept the immortal spirit energy when it appears in the early morning every day."
Ian hated the people who stole the plane the most, so he asked, "Did you catch them?"
“No one has been caught. Generally speaking, there are two types of phone thieves: one who steals from a few individuals, and the other who steals in large numbers.
The former is weaker, while the latter is much stronger. However, they usually only have one or two people acting at the same time. If there are too many people, they are easily exposed. They may also be people on the Heavenly Ranking. Regardless of which type, they all have the common feature of investigating the information of the target to be stolen first, so as to achieve a 100% success rate. However, because the immortal spirit belongs to someone else and is marked by the will of heaven and earth, they will refine and absorb it after stealing it. "
"Don't the major powers care about this situation?"
"Of course they do. They will go and round up the thieves, but the results are minimal. No one knows the whereabouts of the thieves. Perhaps anyone who signs up could be a thief."
Ian asked, "Isn't there any good way to deal with it?"
"Yes, some powerful forces provide temporary accommodation services. As long as you go to the place they designate, you will be guaranteed the corresponding protection. The higher the ranking of the challengers and the more people there are, the more expensive the fee will be."
"Okay, I got it, go ahead and get busy!"
"Okay, please feel free to contact me if you need anything."
"There is business to be made everywhere." Ian smiled, then went to the Left Vice Dean Mokeye to discuss and ask him for help with the security issues at the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce during these early morning hours. After getting a definite answer, he also contacted the Right Vice Dean and the Great Elder.
Ian returned to his residence and gave the same instructions to Li Batian, notifying the persons in charge of the three registration points and asking them to spread the word - as long as anyone comes to the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will do its utmost to provide them with free security during the preliminary election stage, and only the top 50 people who register each day will be eligible.
For three consecutive days, Ian did not go out. He spent his time practicing and repairing Xiao Ai. His ranking did not drop and was still seventh. He received news that the registration for the branches in the three cities was full. These people were all from small forces or talented people who had not been well-known before. Late at night on the third day, the branch in Ente City was coveted by a large number of machine thieves, but they were all killed by Mokoye's Sword of the Void.
Ian took the opportunity to pick up their space rings and found a lot of good things inside, especially some transparent light balls of nine colors, which were the fairy spirits stored by the thief.
There were more than thirty light balls in total. Ian was overjoyed. If he absorbed all of them, then the fifth light ball in his dantian would probably be able to materialize, and the Nine Yang Qian Kun Divine Art would be able to break through to the sixth level.
He took out the sound transmission stone and contacted Crazy Man, "Uncle Master, I encountered the stealers. They were killed by Deputy Dean Mokaye. I picked up the immortal spirit energy they stole. How can I use it?"
But someone said something blandly, "If you don't want to survive the catastrophe in the future, just use it. It's very simple. Just use your chaotic physique to absorb it directly. You don't need to refine it."
Ian was stunned. What the hell was this? "Uncle Master, will absorbing this affect my future tribulation?"
"It's fine for you to absorb what you deserve, and it can also increase your luck when you cross the tribulation. But if you absorb what others have, it will be the exact opposite. Can we mortals refine and smooth out the will of heaven? People who practice cultivation should not think of crooked ways. If others can use this thing, why don't ninth-level strongmen come to snatch it? Why doesn't Mokeye want it? You decide!"
"Then what should I do?"
"Just smash it and let it return to the Heavenly Ranking."
"Oh...okay!"
Ian raised his hand and threw the nine-colored light ball in his hand. He hadn't noticed that Piger, who was drooling beside him, chased after him and flew back, "Brother, don't you want this thing?"
Ian asked in confusion: "I can't use it, can you?"
Pi Ge nodded his head vigorously, "I ate that just now, it was very helpful to me, if you don't need it, give it to me!"
Ian quickly stopped Bigger and sent a message to Crazy Man to ask again. The answer he got was that neither the demons nor the spirit beasts could use it. Only the legendary fairy beasts and divine beasts could absorb it. Maybe Bigger was a divine beast!
Ian simply summoned Suzaku as well, confirming that Suzaku really could not be absorbed unless it broke through and became a phoenix.
