Chapter 38

"Sir Manager, this is Mr. Jingyan. He wishes to participate in the advanced arena battles."

The tall female warrior led Jingyan into a room with an overall black tone.

Inside the room, there was a woman in a black long dress, with an exceptionally beautiful and charming appearance.

Seeing this woman, even Jingyan was slightly dazed. She had a naturally alluring charm.

She was the manager of the Extreme Battle Association, named Ranqi!

"Oh?" Ranqi's delicate eyebrows slightly moved, and her gaze turned to Jingyan.

"Jingyan, Jingyan of the Jing family? The number one genius of Donglin City?" Ranqi's eyes carried a faint smile, and her every move exuded endless charm.

The female warrior who brought Jingyan to see Ranqi glanced at Jingyan and then left the room.

"I am indeed Jingyan of the Jing family, but I dare not claim to be the number one genius of Donglin City," Jingyan said with a calm gaze and a composed voice.

Hearing Jingyan's voice, Ranqi's heart stirred.

She had also learned about Jingyan. After all, he was once the number one genius of Donglin City.

However, Jingyan's realm had fallen, and he no longer had the glory of the past. Now, the people of Donglin City, while still talking about Jingyan during their leisure time, often did so with a mocking tone.

Ranqi's heart stirred because of Jingyan's expression. Apart from a slight moment of surprise when they first met, Jingyan quickly returned to normal.

This was not something an ordinary person could do.

After all, even male experts at the Dao Ling realm might not be as calm as Jingyan when they saw her.

Ranqi was quite confident in her own charm.

"This person is not simple," Ranqi thought to herself.

"Mr. Jingyan, do you know that to participate in our battle association's advanced arena, you need to have the strength of a high-level warrior at least?" Ranqi straightened her expression.

"I am at the Seventh Heaven realm. Manager, I know the rules here," Jingyan said with a slight bow.

"Hmm?" Ranqi's expression slightly stiffened.

According to her knowledge, Jingyan's realm should have fallen to the Third Heaven of the Martial Dao. But how did it suddenly become the Seventh Heaven realm?

"Mr. Jingyan, we need to test your realm," Ranqi paused.

Although Jingyan claimed to be at the Seventh Heaven of the Martial Dao, the Extreme Battle Association must confirm it.

It wasn't that Ranqi didn't trust Jingyan, but it was a matter of procedure.

Of course, Ranqi and Jingyan were not familiar, so saying she trusted him would be an overstatement.

"Mr. Jingyan, please follow me," Ranqi said with a slight smile.

In a place like the Extreme Battle Association, there were definitely testing crystals.

Ranqi led Jingyan to a large hall where three testing crystals were placed.

"Manager, can I start now?" Jingyan looked at Ranqi.

"Please," Ranqi said.

Jingyan walked to one of the testing crystals, and his Primordial Energy surged.

Ranqi watched Jingyan's movements closely.

"Martial Dao First Heaven!"

"Martial Dao Second Heaven!"

"..."

"Martial Dao Sixth Heaven!"

"Martial Dao Seventh Heaven!"

"Indeed, he is at the Seventh Heaven of the Martial Dao," a light flickered in Ranqi's beautiful eyes.

"How is this possible? How did he become a Seventh Heaven realm warrior?" Ranqi's thoughts churned, growing more curious.

There was one thing she was certain of.

Jingyan's realm had indeed fallen to the Third Heaven of the Martial Dao, without a doubt.

The Extreme Battle Association had also closely followed Jingyan and thoroughly investigated his realm. Two months ago, the association confirmed that Jingyan was at the Third Heaven of the Martial Dao. From then on, the association stopped paying attention to him.

Like most people in Donglin City, the association also believed that Jingyan's martial career was over and that he would not rise again. However, now Jingyan suddenly had the strength of a Seventh Heaven realm warrior.

A Seventh Heaven realm warrior was a high-level warrior. Even in Donglin City, the number of high-level warriors was not large.

Even within the four major families, a high-level warrior among the younger generation was considered a strong force, a pillar of the family.

"Manager, is there any problem with my realm?" Jingyan turned around after the test.

"No problem. Now, let's discuss your battle. Mr. Jingyan, please follow me to the records room," Ranqi put aside her thoughts and said with a smile.

In the records room.

"Mr. Jingyan, these are all the Seventh Heaven realm contestants in our battle association. You can look at their records first and then decide which contestant to battle," Ranqi placed several records in front of Jingyan.

The Extreme Battle Association's arena was divided into three levels.

The first level was the low-level arena, for low-level warriors.

The second level was the mid-level arena, for mid-level warriors.

The third level was the advanced arena, for high-level warriors.

Generally, the low-level arena had the most battles, followed by the mid-level arena, and the advanced arena had the fewest.

There were only five records in front of Jingyan, each representing a Seventh Heaven realm contestant, the same as his realm.

"These contestants are too weak," Jingyan shook his head.

He came this time to make a big profit, and choosing a weak opponent would not be effective.

"Mr. Jingyan, you haven't even looked at their records. These contestants are not weak; they are battle-hardened. I can tell you that among warriors of the same realm, their strength is absolutely very powerful," Ranqi was slightly taken aback and then said, not quite understanding Jingyan's meaning.

The contestants of the Extreme Battle Association were indeed the best in their realm. They had rich battle experience, and each had their own unique skills.

Even the Seventh Heaven realm warriors from the four major families of Donglin City would have a more than 90% chance of losing if they fought against the Seventh Heaven realm contestants of the battle association.

Ranqi thought Jingyan might not be clear, so she emphasized it in detail. Jingyan hadn't even looked at the records and said the contestants were weak, which made Ranqi find it amusing.

"They are really too weak; I have no interest in fighting them," Jingyan shrugged.

Seeing Jingyan's expression, Ranqi was slightly angry, and then she took out a few more records, "These are our Eighth Heaven realm contestants. Mr. Jingyan, take a look!"

There were four records of Eighth Heaven contestants.

Jingyan took them and glanced through them briefly.

These records only listed the names, realms, and battle records of the warriors in the battle association. There were no notes on the martial arts they practiced or their individual characteristics.

"They are still a bit weak," Jingyan frowned, shook his head, and put down the four records.

"Hmm?" Ranqi was really getting angry.
