"By the way, Zhen Yue’s passive rebound damage should be quite high, right? How come you didn’t react at all?" Tang Ruobing asked curiously.

"Does he have this passive?"

Ye Mingqiu tilted his head in confusion.

To be honest, he truly didn’t feel that the opponent had this passive. In his War Tyrant state, he possesses extremely high health and constitution, with exceptionally strong physical defense. Plus, the spiritual energy derived from his health and damage immunity, he directly negates the damage.

Ye Mingqiu genuinely didn’t feel the damage. It’s not a deliberate exaggerated disdain.

"...."

Tang Ruobing sighed and said, "After your rating match is over, next, it’s my turn to have a rating match. Sit here and watch carefully what a real Mage should do in battle."

The young girl stood up with a calm and confident smile on her face, walking with an aura of refreshing fragrance, a scent that Ye Mingqiu was very familiar with, though he felt it seemed slightly different from when they first met.

Just like...

She gradually changes the scent until it completely transforms into another, making the invasion process less obvious.

It’s like a proactive invasion of Tang Ruobing into Ye Mingqiu’s life.

[Tip: Broken Star has started the rating match, you can teleport to the arena to watch the match]

So this is how the rating match looks from someone else’s perspective.

[Tip: Broken Star challenges the 38th rank]

38th rank?

Ye Mingqiu slightly raised his eyebrows. If nothing unexpected happens, the current 38th rank should be Ge Wu.

Is that so?

His mouth curved slightly, crossing his hands in front, looking towards the arena with interest, wanting to see something more intriguing.

Then...

[Tip: Ge Wu has surrendered]

[Challenge successful]

"Tsk!"

Ye Mingqiu felt a bit disappointed, as he wanted to see how Tang Ruobing handles the Curse System! Not seeing it is such a pity.

However, she frequently quenches her strength through Ancient Divine Realm Power, likely has a certain degree of resistance to Curse Power, making it questionable whether Ge Wu’s curse is effective on her.

Soon, Ge Wu proactively walked forward, giving Ye Mingqiu a smile and said, "Dad, did you see how well I performed just now?"

"Say what’s on your mind."

Ye Mingqiu spoke simply and directly.

Though Ge Wu is somewhat sneaky, his intelligence level is not low, definitely wouldn’t proactively ask for rewards over trivial matters like these, suggesting he probably has something he wants to talk about, and likely something permissible.

Then, Ge Wu smiled flatteringly and said, "You truly have foresight. I now happen to have a small request that requires your permission." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Speak."

"During your previous battle, I recorded a bit of the battle footage. I want to earn a little bit from this Combat Recordings."

Ge Wu spoke while initiating a contract application through the Spirit Realm. Its general content was that he would donate 80% of the video proceeds to Ye Mingqiu, and this process would receive Spirit Realm certification.

After Ye Mingqiu carefully read the content, he signed the contract directly. Contracts certified by Spirit Realm are reliable and won’t have any issues, unlike many Spiritualists and Spirit Realm natives who are tripped up by unreliable contracts, especially those of the Demon Race, which are extremely unreliable.

"Alright, I’m off then."

"Wait!"

"Anything else?"

Ge Wu immediately turned back, looking at Ye Mingqiu with confusion and apprehension. Now having signed the contract, a character like Divine Monarch shouldn’t back down at this point, otherwise he’d have to question his judgment.

"Make more money."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"Okay! Okay!"

Ge Wu laughed mischievously, then slipped away.

Tang Ruobing, unlike before, didn’t choose to leave the arena but directly continued the challenge, initiating the second rating match.

Ye Mingqiu sat in his seat, silently started recording mode, capturing her thrilling moments and preparing to learn combat details.

[Tip: Broken Star has challenged the 20th rank]

At the current stage, the highest rank Tang Ruobing can challenge is the 19th, but she didn’t challenge because the current 19th rank is Qing Yu.

Though he ranks 19th, it doesn’t necessarily mean his true strength is only 19th. It’s merely the result of rank order, Qing Yu’s true strength is at least within the top five of the Celestial Ladder.

More importantly, his combat style significantly restrains Tang Ruobing, and the challenge win rate is too low.

Soon, Qing Yu approached, sat beside Ye Mingqiu with a smile, and said, "If I’m not mistaken, she should be our Deputy Leader?"

"Mm."

"Her strength should be pretty good too?"

Qing Yu asked with a smile.

Though it’s mostly out of courtesy rather than recognition of her strength, for a simple reason: Tang Ruobing is Hero Level, not Legendary Level Spiritualist.

Rank discrimination

This does exist, although many people won’t say it openly and maintain a good attitude, they inherently look down on Spiritualists of a lower tier, thinking their strength isn’t much, even at their best.

In fact, their discrimination turns out to be pretty accurate. Hero Level Spiritualists really can’t beat those of the same level, let alone Legendary ones, far from it.

Because, without enough strong talent and potential, it’s impossible to become Legendary. Being Legendary itself is a selection process, and those who become Legendary Spiritualists can’t be weaker than heroes, unless faced with special circumstances.
