First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 79 Ranking

He still had one last card up his sleeve.

That is the Soul Refining Banner.

Although the Soul Refining Banner had only completed the blood sacrifice and had not yet truly collected soul spirits to drive it, its power was still not to be underestimated. If Shen Mo were to bring out this banner, he would still have a chance to fight back.

However, the origin of the Soul Refining Banner was not legitimate, and it was too sensitive. It couldn't be easily shown to others.

Moreover, he had originally planned to use the Soul Refining Banner as a last resort in a life-or-death situation. If he used it in a public setting, it wouldn't be a last resort anymore.

It wasn't worth it to expose his trump card for the sake of a newcomer's first place.

It's better to keep a low profile, after all, life is the most important!

In the end, Shen Mo gave up on continuing the fight.

When he heard Shen Mo announce his surrender, Elder Chu Chen nodded slightly and said, "The final battle has already determined the winner."

"The first place in this newcomer competition is Lu Ming!"

With Elder Chu Chen's voice falling, the dust finally settled on the newcomer competition.

At the same time, the rankings for the newcomer competition were quickly determined.

First place: Lu Ming

Second place: Shen Mo

Third place: Lu Xu

Fourth place: Qian Sun

Fifth place: Yang Qingshan

"According to the rules, the first place newcomer will be rewarded with a newcomer immortal robe."

As Elder Chu Chen spoke, he waved his sleeve.

Immediately, a stream of light flew towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming reached out and caught it, and the spiritual light scattered. The immortal robe was surrounded by a faint spiritual aura, extremely dazzling.

"I envy this. It's a Profound Grade medium-tier artifact, worth at least a thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Not only that, this robe is a symbol of honor. It can overpower others in the newcomer competition. What a glory."

"Envy is useless. We don't have the ability to get it. Speaking of which, Lu Ming's reputation in the sect was not prominent before, but after today, he's probably going to rise to fame."

Everyone looked at the newcomer immortal robe in Lu Ming's hand with great envy.

But soon, Elder Chu Chen began to distribute the rewards for the top five newcomers.

"The top five newcomers will be rewarded with a chance to select immortal arts on the third floor of the Immortal Arts Tower. This is the token."

As Elder Chu Chen spoke, he once again turned the token into a stream of light and distributed it.

Shen Mo also received the token for accessing the third floor of the Immortal Arts Tower.

"There should be many good things on the third floor."

Shen Mo carefully put away the token, his heart filled with anticipation.

On the first floor of the Immortal Arts Tower, he had already chosen the Purple Mansion Heart Sutra, indicating that the Immortal Arts Tower had a rich collection.

The grade and rarity of the various arts, immortal arts, and martial techniques on the third floor must be far superior to the first floor.

"Next, it's time to reward the top ten newcomers with a Foundation Building Pill!"

Elder Chu Chen continued to distribute the rewards according to the established procedure.

This reward distribution lasted for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

When Elder Chu Chen finished distributing the last reward, he put his hands into his sleeves and said, "Next, it's time for the peak masters to select talents. I won't steal the limelight."

As he spoke, he retreated from the Jade Void Platform.

At the same time, on the clouds above the platform, three important figures appeared in front of the many new disciples.

"I am the Peak Master of the Rising Sun Peak, Tang Lu."

"I am the Peak Master of the Bright Moon Peak, Yuan Jing."

"I am the Peak Master of the Starry Sky Peak, Zhou Shili."

The three peak masters looked at the crowd and introduced themselves in turn.

"We pay our respects to the three peak masters."

The crowd looked at the three important figures and saluted.

"No need for so many formalities. I'll take in disciples first!"

Zhou Shili waved his hand, ignoring the many ceremonial matters, and directly said to Lu Ming, "Kid, you're pretty good. Your older brother recommended you to me. Are you willing to join my Starry Sky Peak?"

"If you are willing to join my peak, I can make an exception and accept you as my disciple."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene immediately erupted.

"The Peak Master of Xingchen Peak is personally accepting disciples!"

"Luo Fu is really lucky. With the Peak Master as his teacher, he will surely have a bright future!"

"How can we say it's just luck? In the end, it's because of his strong abilities. After all, disciples with such strength may not even appear in several rounds of the New Talent Competition."

The eyes of the disciples who came to watch the battle were filled with envy when they looked at Luo Fu.

After all, many people who watched the battle in the peripheral area couldn't even enter the Three Peaks, let alone become a disciple of the Peak Master.

But at the same time, they also knew that Luo Fu was indeed qualified.

"Disciple Luo Fu is willing to join Xingchen Peak."

Luo Fu was quite calm, showing no joy or sorrow on his face, and only bowed.

"Good, very good!"

Zhou Shili laughed heartily upon hearing this.

After the first place in the New Talent Competition was taken away, many eyes turned to Shen Mo.

Although he lost to Luo Fu in the final battle, he still performed admirably.

It seems that he is also worth fighting for among the Three Peaks.

Sure enough!

As soon as Luo Fu left, Tang Lu, the Peak Master of Xuri Peak, immediately extended an olive branch to Shen Mo.

"Are you willing to join my Xuri Peak?"

Tang Lu stood with his hands behind his back and proudly said, "Xuri Peak is the first of the Three Peaks, the strongest in strength, and has the most opportunities. If you are willing to join, you will have a bright future."

"Get lost, you damn bastard!"

As soon as Tang Lu finished speaking, Yuan Jing came to disrupt the situation, saying, "If you want to recruit disciples, is this how you do it? Not even a proper greeting?"

"Do you really think that Xuri Peak can attract talents just based on strength?"

"Kid, I see that you have performed well. If you are willing to join my Mingyue Peak, I am willing to give you a Profound Grade middle-tier spiritual weapon as a greeting gift."

"How about it?"

What a generous offer!

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

This greeting gift is no less than the reward for the first place in the New Talent Competition.

But Shen Mo did not immediately answer the recruitment of the two Peak Masters.

Because, in the next moment, Zhou Shili, the Peak Master of Xingchen Peak, also spoke up.

"Kid, you and my disciple Guo Zhao are old friends. If you go to another peak, I'm afraid no one will take care of you, and you may not have a comfortable life."

Although he accepted Luo Fu, Zhou Shili didn't want to let Shen Mo go either.

For him, the more disciples with great potential, the better.

"If you are willing to come to my Xingchen Peak, I can give you five Earth Elemental Pills as a gift."

"From what I saw in your performance, although your physical strength is not bad, it seems that you have cultivated a body refining technique that consumes vital essence, but you haven't mastered it yet."

"These Earth Elemental Pills are the top-grade among the second-grade spiritual medicines. Their effects can quickly condense blood energy, which is very beneficial for your body refining practice. How about it?"

With Yuan Feng's precious offer in front of them, Zhou Shili's offer was not considered high.

As for choosing a peak, Shen Mo was very clear that it's better to have acquaintances.

Otherwise, despite the eagerness of these Peak Masters to recruit him, once he entered the peak, there would be no time for them to care about him and be concerned about everything.

After all, talented disciples from various peaks are not rare. Although Shen Mo's performance is decent, it is far from enough to make Peak Masters care about everything.

After careful consideration, Shen Mo still chose Xingchen Peak.

There was Guo Zhao here.

"Disciple Shen Mo is willing to join Xingchen Peak."

Shen Mo took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

"What a confused choice!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lu shook his head and sighed.

He was still fine, after all, he was already the first peak of the Linqiang Sect. Even if he didn't get the best disciple in this New Talent Competition, he only felt a little regretful.

Yuan Jing, the Peak Master of Mingyue Peak, on the other hand, seemed a bit distressed, muttering and complaining for a while.

"Zhou old man really can't bear to let go! He's truly despicable."
