Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 864 - 114: First Place on the Xuyang Trial Weekly Rankings

Upon receiving the Witch Puppet sent by Yue Jinghua, a hint of indecipherable emotions appeared in Qing Pu’s eyes.

Qing Pu did not tell Yue Jinghua that upon touching the Witch Puppet crafted by Tao Wusong, he recalled some matters.

He had used a Witch Puppet; ten thousand years ago, his master Tao Wusong forcibly used a Witch Puppet on him.

His Primordial Spirit suffered immense damage during that incident, making him unable to cultivate any additional Primordial Spirit or use a Witch Puppet again.

It was due to the damage to his Primordial Spirit that he wandered like a lost soul without a physical form all these years.

Yet, seeing the smile on Yue Jinghua’s lips brought a warmth within his heart.

He did not refuse and accepted the Witch Puppet.

"Qing Pu, last time you did not clarify, why even though you are clearly not dead, does City Lord Changsun claim that all thirteen Sky Witches have fallen? Also, if even Sky Witches like Tao Wusong could craft a defying Divine Artifact like the Witch Puppet, why did they fall?" Since they fell, they must have been killed.

The Sky Witch Clan is considered the closest to the gods among the Human Race; if they train well, they can even surpass the Holy Beasts and become part of the Divine Clan directly.

"The specific details are unclear to me; due to the damage to my Primordial Spirit, my memories are only in fragments. Perhaps it’s because my memories were sealed, but ever since entering Four Symbols City, I always feel irritable, reluctant even to enter the Divine Ruins." This is why Qing Pu initially disagreed with Yue Jinghua entering the Divine Ruins.

"How can your seal be broken?" Yue Jinghua pursued the question.

"Finding the thirteenth Heavenly Witch Pill will allow me to truly restore my strength, whereby I can break through the seal and prohibition," With the Heavenly Witch Pill in hand, he can restore his peak strength, the true power of the Sky Witches.

However, where exactly is the Heavenly Witch Pill? Not only Qing Pu’s Heavenly Witch Pill but the other twelve Sky Witches’ Pills are also nowhere to be found.

According to City Lord Changsun, the Heavenly Witch Pills were stolen, and the thief has already infiltrated the Divine Ruins.

Yet no one or team has discovered the location of the Heavenly Witch Pills till now.

Yue Jinghua wondered if the Heavenly Witch Pills might also be hidden within Zhuqiu.

Since they cannot be crafted for the time being, she decided to temporarily set aside the crafting of Witch Origin Soil.

After a brief visit to Lie Changgong, Yue Jinghua leisurely headed towards the stone house when halfway there, she heard the voice of City Lord Changsun emanate from her Merit Ring.

Not just Yue Jinghua, all members of the Four Symbols Team had their Merit Rings ringing.

Unknowingly, everyone at Four Symbols City had spent seven days in the Divine Ruins.

According to City Lord Changsun’s declaration upon opening the Divine Ruins, every seven days, he would announce the Merit Points Weekly Ranking to encourage the team members within the ruins, akin to certain schools’ routine Monday assemblies.

The weekly rankings cover two parts: one is the Life and Death Rankings, the other is individual ranking.

City Lord Changsun couldn’t help but vent in literary terms, rambling through five thousand words, including mentioning the sudden rise of the Four Unlikes Team. City Lord Changsun resolved not to pursue accountability for the Four Unlikes Team, granting them a fair chance to compete.

Following a narrative that was rather sleep-inducing, City Lord Changsun finally got to the point: "In the past seven days, the survival count for each of the five teams is as follows: Dragon Team, 4 dead, 5 injured, 5 withdrew midway, 86 persisted within the Divine Ruins. Tiger Team, 1 dead, 7 injured, 0 withdrew, 92 persisted within the Divine Ruins. Sparrow Team, 3 dead, 8 injured, 3 withdrew, 87 persisted within the Divine Ruins. Martial Arts Team, 2 dead, 8 injured, 6 withdrew, 84 persisted within the Divine Ruins. Four Unlikes Team, 1 dead, 1 injured, 0 withdrew, 1 missing, 10 persisted within the Divine Ruins. In terms of survival rate, Tiger Team temporarily leads. Congratulations to the surviving team members; next announced is the individual Merit Points Weekly Rankings."

Zong Shaoqing leads the Tiger Team in survival rate, which did not surprise Yue Jinghua. After all, Zong Shaoqing’s strength and personal prestige are commendable, and his team’s overall capabilities are quite formidable.

She’s interested in the subsequent ranking of Merit Points. Whereas the survival rate tests each leader’s management skills, individual Merit Points reflect personal capability.

It’s also the only path to victory in the Xuyang Trial. The old turtle City Lord Changsun knows well that all Four Symbols Team members are all ears at this moment, even those currently engaged in slaying Demon Beasts must find a safe spot to hide for the moment, just to learn who presently holds the highest Merit Points.

If things go as expected, the four captains chosen by Four Symbols Spiritual Beasts should be the most popular candidates.

City Lord Changsun, however, began teasing and announced the top ten positions in reverse order.

Brother Yue Minzhi is ranked eighth, Long Rui surprisingly ranks tenth?

Yue Jinghua first heard two familiar names, reckoning that this pair of lovers was acting together all this time, many of Long Rui’s Merit Points should rightly be attributed to her brother.

Zong Shaoqing is notably superior in leadership but rather average at Demon Beast-killing. He follows Yue Minzhi, ranking seventh.

The ensuing names are strangers, one from the Martial Arts Team, the other from the Tiger Team.

Fourth is Ying Wuwang, third is Hu Li.

Yue Jinghua thought, these Demon Clan lovers truly are inseparable, but their strength indeed is formidable and must be carefully watched.

Second... Fa Xiaoyi.

Fa Xiaoyi attained second, surprising not just Yue Jinghua, but many others as well. They were unaware that the Martial Arts Team had slain a significant number of Demon Beasts and seized the Green Bat Nest.

Green Bats are High-level Dark Beasts.

The captains of the major teams are all on the list, deservedly so, but who takes first place?

In the Four Symbols Team, all prominent figures have been ranked; surely a sudden contender couldn’t emerge like a Cheng Yaojin.

Everyone’s curiosity and competitive spirit were piqued, attentively listening.

Yet at the crucial moment, City Lord Changsun began teasing again: "The first-place contender truly surprised me. I believe everyone now must be curious to whom the first place belongs. Surprisingly, the Xuyang Trial Weekly Rankings does not belong to one person but two. One is from the Four Unlikes Team, Yue Jinghua, with Merit Points totaling one thousand eight hundred sixty. And the other is..."
