After sensing that Liu Mei was just at the early rank 1 of the Spirit realm, the young man had no more misgivings fighting against her.

Liu Mei had a grim expression on her face, as she faced the peak rank 3 Spirit realm expert who was slowly walking towards her.

Without hesitating, a black ball of qi was formed between her hands, while death aura exploded from her body.

The black ball of light then fell on the ground, as jade white skeletons started to appear from it.

Dozens of skeletons who were holding bone swords, along with black-armored undead knights had emerged from the black ball of death qi in large numbers.

The burly young man instantly halted his steps as he looked at the dozens of undead creatures that were emerging, seemingly out of nowhere.

Although he wasn't afraid of fighting, the creepy appearance of the creatures in front of him, sent shivers down his spine.

Barely 5 breaths of time had passed, as more than 200 skeletons along with 12 undead knights had now appeared in front of Liu Mei, as they all faced the burly young man opposite to them.

A smirk formed on the burly young man's face as soon as he sensed the cultivation of the creatures in front of him.

Even though their appearance was certainly scary, these skeletons were still at the peak of rank 9 in Heaven grade, while the black-armored knights were barely at the early rank 1 of the Spirit realm.

Holding his red saber, the man started to inject his qi inside it, before he rushed at the skeletons standing in front of him.

The moment that they met the burly man's attacks, the skeletons were crushed in an instant.

With every slash of his saber, the burly young man would destroy almost 10 skeletons, as he continued to run towards Liu Mei.

Even the black-armored undead knights who were much stronger than the skeletons, could only block a single attack of the man's saber before they were destroyed as well.

Liu Mei sighed inwardly when she understood, that the difference between this burly man and her couldn't be breached.

She had simply been too unlucky this time, meeting with a peak rank 3 Spirit realm expert as soon as they were sent to the challenge grounds.

The skeletons and the undead knights were only able to stall the man for a few breaths of time before he appeared in front of Liu Mei, and with that same smirk on his face, he hacked his saber towards her neck.

It was obvious that he wanted to kill her in one-shot.

Liu Mei however was already holding her medallion, and injecting her qi inside it, a golden light immediately covered her body.

Before the man's saber could approach her, her body turned into wisps of golden light before it disappeared on the spot.

''Tsk''

The young man clicked his tongue when he saw Liu Mei disappearing, when a golden light merged in his medallion, and the number 2 then appeared on it.

The crowd inside the House of Rankings' main hall was stunned when they saw Liu Mei's battle.

Although she had lost extremely quickly, the weird creatures that she had summoned had drawn everyone's attention

''Who is this person and what kind of monsters were these skeletons?''

...''Not only the skeletons, but the black-armored knights as well. I have never seen someone summoning such things before.''

''Hmph! So what? In the end she still lost in just a few breaths of time. These creatures are surely extremely weak.''

As these discussions were taking place in the main hall of the House of Rankings, the people inside the hall of the Survival Gate were even more surprised, when they saw Liu Mei appearing on top of the giant teleportation circle.

After all, as soon as she appeared, everyone understood that she was actually, just an early rank 1 Spirit realm cultivator.

''No wonder she lost so quickly!''

''Right! Her opponent was Hao Yuan after all! He is already at the peak of rank 3 in the Spirit realm.''

Liu Mei didn't pay much attention to the crowd's discussions however, as she walked towards the 'Silver-winged panther king', who was waiting for her and Shun Long inside the hall.

Nobody had dared to go near the peak rank 5 magic beast while Shun Long and Liu Mei were inside the trial.

Although some people's curiosity had been piqued by Liu Mei's abilities, in the end, no one approached her, as they continued to watch the survival challenge.

Liu Mei's eyes lit up as she saw Shun Long appearing in the giant screen of light.

Shun Long didn't just attract Liu Mei's attention, but many other people's as well, as he continued to rake in points at an incredible speed.

No matter whether he met a middle rank 3 Spirit realm expert or a rank 2 one, they were all destroyed in a single move.

Soon, 2 days had gone by, as the last day of the Survival gate's challenge arrived.

Shun Long had already gathered more than 150 ranking points in these 2 days.

As for Little Black, he was watching his master with his eyes filled with interest from the 'Stone of Time'.

Since Little Black knew that Shun Long wanted to temper himself, he didn't inform him of the location of the other participants around him.

By now, the people who were watching the last day of the Survival Gate's challenge were already certain, that Shun Long was a powerful peak rank 3 Spirit realm cultivator, if he hadn't already reached the early rank 4 in the Spirit realm.

Suddenly, the eyes of the crowd in the House of Rankings were filled with excitement, as they watched the scene inside the screen of light.

At the same time, in the sky a few hundred meters in front of him, Shun Long could see a red-haired young man whose body was clad in crimson flames, holding a tall, bald man from his neck.

Shun Long could feel that the red-haired man's aura was at the early rank 4 in the Spirit realm, while the tall bald man's was only at the peak of rank 3 in the Spirit realm.

The bald man let out screams of agony as he felt his body getting charred by the crimson flames, while his feet tried to kick the red-haired man's groin, in an attempt to catch him off guard and escape.

The red-haired man however had a sinister smile on his face, and just before the bald man could catch his golden medallion, the red-haired man suddenly clutched his hand, snapping the bald man's neck.

A golden light then appeared from the tall, bald man's medallion, as it entered the red-haired man's chest.

The red-haired man's medallion lit up brightly as it absorbed the golden light, and from the previous 103, the ranking points inside it shot all the way up to 139.

At the same time, the red-haired man seemed to have noticed Shun Long's gaze on him, and with that same sinister smile on his face, he rushed towards his direction like a flying meteor.
