Lu Sheng’s challenge announcement swiftly spread throughout the Celestial Speed Training Camp.
"Lu Sheng’s challenging? Oh my, this guy is finally willing to make a move."
"That’s right, our highest ranker in the Celestial Speed Training Camp, Du Hua, only made it to above 500th place. Among all the subordinate training camps, we are basically at the bottom."
"It’s a pity that Lu Sheng hasn’t been interested in the ranking battles before. We couldn’t say anything about it, but now he’s finally willing to take action."
Many members of the Celestial Speed Training Camp, upon hearing this news, were filled with intense curiosity. They put aside whatever they were doing and rushed to the virtual cabins.
The virtual cabins were packed with people, a rare sight.
Even Liu Feng and Ning He, the two main leaders of the Celestial Speed Training Camp, appeared in the virtual cabins.
"Lu Sheng finally decided to challenge the rankings? I thought this brat would at least wait until next month’s inter-camp matches before joining."
Liu Feng laughed and swore.
Ning He shook his head, "Lu Sheng is our number one in the Celestial Speed Training Camp, yet he hasn’t participated in any ranking battles. The members from other camps have been making fun of us for this."
"Well, now that Lu Sheng is challenging, we can finally hold our heads high."
Liu Feng nodded, then entered the Void Star Realm along with the other members.
At this moment, Lu Sheng had just defeated his latest opponent.
His overall rank had risen to above 9500.
"Once the rank goes above 10,000, the reward points will increase to two. Before long, I’ll be able to redeem the Five Elements Medicine Liquid."
"After several matches, although I haven’t fully integrated the five Mental Realms, I’ve become more proficient in handling individual ones."
"A few more matches!"
Lu Sheng was somewhat excited. The ranking battle format reminded him of the underground arena fights back in Qiming City.
He felt a surge of fervor.
As Lu Sheng was about to search for his next opponent, he noticed a series of pop-up boxes in his info bar.
"Liu Feng requests to watch!"
"Ning He requests to watch!"
"Xia Xun requests to watch!"
Seeing the pop-ups, Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"Why are they all requesting to watch?"
Lu Sheng was puzzled, furrowing his brows. He was about to refuse but noticed a settings button next to the viewer request button.
After clicking it, his eyes lit up.
"Watching requires points?"
Lu Sheng was initially surprised by this setting, but soon understood. The Celestial Speed Training Camp had many exceptional talents, and especially those with top-tier qualifications like himself.
They would likely attract a lot of members eager to watch their matches as spectators could gain insights from observing others’ skills.
Thinking about this, Lu Sheng directly set a one-point fee for watching his matches.
Lu Sheng thought this would deter many from watching, but to his surprise, his personal terminal was flooded with notifications of points received.
"These guys... have that much money?"
Lu Sheng was a bit helpless but shook his head and continued searching for an opponent.
With these points, he was one step closer to buying the Five Elements Medicine Liquid.
[Searching for an opponent, please wait...]
The familiar text appeared before Lu Sheng.
Soon, the system matched Lu Sheng with an opponent of similar rank.
"It’s starting, it’s starting. I wonder how far Lu Sheng can go this time."
"I’d say at least top 5000. After all, the higher the ranking, the stronger the opponents become. Once he reaches the top 5000, the pressure on Lu Sheng will increase significantly."
"Makes sense. When Du Hua was climbing the ranks, it took him three days to reach the top 5000 and another four or five days to reach his current 700+ rank."
"Lu Sheng is stronger than Du Hua. He should reach the top 5000 in just one day!"
The crowd entered the observation room, watching Lu Sheng’s match.
The following scenes left the Celestial Speed Training Camp members in stunned silence.
One after another, his opponents were beaten in seconds!
Complete and total annihilation! No matter the system’s match-up, Lu Sheng crushed them effortlessly.
Only after five or six matches, Lu Sheng’s rank soared, breaking into the top 5000.
The members of the Celestial Speed Training Camp gasped.
"Has this guy gotten even stronger?"
"It’s only been a few days, right?"
The crowd couldn’t help but discuss.
"To date, in our Celestial Speed Training Camp, only seven have made it into the top 5000."
"Seriously, is Lu Sheng not going to lose even once?"
The members of the Celestial Speed Training Camp were at a loss for words.
"He’s in the top 4000 now, and Lu Sheng still has a 100% win rate. Unbelievable!"
They marveled at his prowess.
Although Lu Sheng’s current rank was in the low 4000s, because of his high win rate, the system matched him with even stronger opponents.
They all knew that Lu Sheng was extraordinarily powerful, but there were many other prodigies in the Celestial Speed Training Camp who, like Lu Sheng, hadn’t chosen to challenge the rankings despite having strength surpassing their current position.
High win rate meant getting matched with equally high win-rate opponents.
As they started feeling numb to his success, Lu Sheng initiated another search for an opponent.
After a brief wait, a skinny youth appeared before Lu Sheng. Despite his frail appearance, all the observers sensed a potent aura within him.
"Hmm? This feeling... could this person have comprehended the Earth Attribute in the Mental Realm? If I remember correctly, Lu Sheng’s specialty... seems to be the Ren Water Realm of the Five Elements Fist."
"Earth restrains water!"
"Could it be that Lu Sheng’s perfect win rate is going to be broken by this person?"
The crowd grew interested. Watching Lu Sheng effortlessly defeat opponents repeatedly had become somewhat monotonous, especially since they paid one point for it.
Lu Sheng turned his gaze to the slender youth, reading his info.
"Wang Gang, member of the Earth Fiend Training Camp, Mid-stage Hundred Veins Martial Artist, ranked 3215!"
