The unique environment of the Ancient Savages World ensures that cultivators here have always maintained the most ancient methods of cultivation.

And there is only one race in this domain, the Savage Race!

Lu Ye had never seen a real Savage; from what he knew, the Savages didn't look very different from humans in appearance, but on the whole, they were much larger in size. Moreover, they were very adept in the Rune Tattoo Path, a combat method passed down since ancient times.

If the Savages didn't have difficulty reproducing and weren't so few in number, they would undoubtedly be a race whose fame echoed throughout the stellar space. Furthermore, their lifespan seemed to be generally much shorter than cultivators of other races, possibly due to the influence of the Ancient Savages World's environment, and even if a Savage reached the Sun Blaze stage in cultivation, they couldn't change this.

Currently, he was ranked third. According to the rules, there was only one target he could challenge, Arbuluo, unless Arbuluo wasn't in the Sky Asura World.

Just as he was about to issue a direct challenge, his Asura Authority Token registered some activity, and he immediately checked it.

He thought it was a message from Walnut, but it turned out to be information from Yuk Yaorao, with surprised tone: "Did you defeat Sky Inkstone?"

Lu Ye thought the news traveled really fast. He had just won a combat, and Yuk Yaorao already knew about it. Could it be that she happened to be watching at the combat field just now?

But after some inquiry, he realized that wasn't the case. Yuk Yaorao had just been checking the Moon Jade combat ranking and found that Lu Ye's name had replaced Sky Inkstone's, prompting the question.

"Well done!" Yuk Yaorao seemed to have some grievances against Sky Inkstone. "During the previous trial, those galactic pirate groups were formed by him."

Lu Ye was suddenly enlightened, finally understanding why Sky Inkstone seemed familiar: "He was the leader of the lightning group?"

Mainly, Sky Inkstone escaped too quickly for him to take a good look; otherwise, he definitely would have recognized him.

It made sense now why the third-ranked in Moon Jade would retreat without a fight. They had already crossed paths before.

"That's him!" Yuk Yaorao gritted her teeth, "He scared me to death!"

Just as Lu Ye was about to reply, another message came through, this time from Walnut. She clearly knew that Lu Ye wouldn't stop at third and would soon challenge Arbuluo and perhaps Gu Sheng, so she sent Lu Ye some information about these two individuals.

Right after reading Walnut's message, a third message came, this time from Gui Yi, also containing information about Arbuluo and Gu Sheng.

As she was also in Moon Jade, she was undoubtedly busy fighting for ranking in the three days preceding the combat ranking settlement, and noting the change in Lu Ye's ranking was not surprising.

Moreover, considering she was the one who brought Lu Ye into the Asura Field, she was certainly aware of Lu Ye's lack of information on the top two of the Moon Jade ranking and initiated contact to help ensure he wouldn't suffer losses in combat.

Lu Ye felt very busy...

He first thanked Gui Yi, then sent a reply to Walnut, and only then had the time to deal with Yuk Yaorao.

"If you want to continue challenging, you should be a bit careful. I've heard that the top two in the Moon Jade ranking are absurdly strong, and Sky Inkstone has been challenging them all along, yet never succeeded."

"I have some understanding," replied Lu Ye, as the information from both Walnut and Gui Yi indirectly confirmed the strength of these two.

It was only now that Lu Ye understood something; that is, why Gu Sheng and Arbuluo's win rates weren't very high. He found it strange before when he analyzed their information.

This seemed atypical for the top-ranked Moon Jade powerhouses, and now he knew that all their defeats were handed to each other.

There is a rumor in the Moon Jade combat field that Gu Sheng and Arbuluo are on the same level, with Sky Inkstone on the second tier, and the rest belong to the third tier.

Since Gu Sheng and Arbuluo held the top two positions, no one has ever shaken their rankings. Only they can change each other's ranking.

This directly resulted in Sky Inkstone's long-standing reputation as the eternal third!

Every settlement period for the Moon Jade combat rankings, Gu Sheng and Arbuluo would fight a match, with victories shared between them. This time, Lu Ye saw Gu Sheng ranked first, whereas the previous time it was Arbuluo, and the time before that perhaps Gu Sheng...

So every time three days before the Moon Jade ranking settlement, the Moon Jade combat field would be extremely lively, with an unknown number of cultivators entering the combat field to watch the battle between these two. Every clash between them left spectators dazzled and in awe.

As always, many cultivators were currently waiting for the start of their battle!

While Lu Ye was busy exchanging messages with the others, outside a cave residence in the Sky Asura World, a burly figure clad in a beast hide cloak stood like an iron tower. The man bared his chest, which bore a vividly carved roaring tiger rune tattoo. His head was shaved except for a patch of long hair at the back, braided into a small plait.

He raised his fan-like palm and heavily slapped the door of the cave, causing a loud banging. He shouted, "Gu Sheng, open up!"

Immediately, an annoyed voice came from within, "No one's home!"

The iron tower-like man grinned, "Cut the crap, open up quick, Grandpa's here to see you." He continued to pound on the door, making it rattle loudly.

The cave residence owner was utterly helpless, knowing that if he didn't let this brute in, he would just keep jabbering on. He opened the cave residence door, looking at him with an expression full of disdain, "What do you want?"

The owner of the cave residence appeared quite young, with fair skin and exquisite features; if you disregarded his speech and his lack of typical female traits, anyone who saw him would mistake him for a rare beauty.

In fact, considering looks alone, he far surpassed most so-called beauties in appearance.

However, those who knew him would never have any fantasies about his appearance, because he was indeed one of the top-tier cultivators renowned in the Asura Field, on the Moon Jade level, originating from the Yellow Dragon World, named Gu Sheng.

The burly man looking for him was none other than Arbuluo from the Ancient Savages World.

In the Asura Field, many people only knew that they fought fiercely every two months, seemingly having an irreconcilable life-and-death hatred, but few knew that they were very close in private.

Gu Sheng, in front of Arbuluo, barely reached his chest and for some reason, Gu Sheng's complexion was extremely pale, devoid of any color, carrying a kind of sickly beauty.

From afar, the scene had a peculiar feeling of a fierce tiger sniffing a rose.

"Gramps came to see if you're dead." Arbuluo looked Gu Sheng up and down, "What's going on, little bro? Heard you got seriously injured during training?"

"What's so strange about that?" Gu Sheng snorted coldly; getting injured during training was a commonplace affair, except this time he took quite a fall, almost not making it back alive, "Finished looking? Then scram."

Saying this, he was about to close the cave residence door when Arbuluo quickly said, "Since I'm here, won't you invite me in to sit?"

Gu Sheng replied, "No wine, no dishes at home, not suitable for guests!"

Arbuluo flipped his hand, holding a wine bottle, grinning, "I brought my own!"

Gu Sheng looked at him, full of helplessness, gritting his teeth, "You brute..."

Unable to resist, because even if rejected, Arbuluo wouldn't let it go, Gu Sheng could only take out the Asura Authority Token, shooting a mystic light at him, allowing him inside.

Clearly, this wasn't Arbuluo's first time here, for although the residence was large, he knew his way around, first heading to the bedroom area, then pointing at the jade bed beside him, "Take off your clothes and lie down!"

Gu Sheng's face twitched, becoming even paler, standing firm, alert, "What are you up to?"

Arbuluo turned to look at him, patting the wine jar he brought, "You think I'm really here just to drink with you? This is a specially made medicinal wine from the Savage Race, aided by our unique healing secret technique, ensuring your injuries are healed within three days! Hurry up and recover so you can fight me; I won't let anyone say I won unfairly!"

"No need!" Gu Sheng's face changed drastically; no matter how dire the crisis he faced during training before, it wasn't as frantic as now. Although he also knew the Savage Race's special healing secret technique combined with their specially made medicinal wine was indeed effective, he had tried before and was traumatized by the memory.

"What nonsense!" Arbuluo slapped Gu Sheng's shoulder, making him hunch, grabbing and tossing him onto the bed, swiftly pulling off his outer clothes.

"I'll do it myself!" Seeing Arbuluo stepping towards him, with fierce light in his eyes, Gu Sheng knew he couldn't refuse, hurriedly shouting.

Soon, Gu Sheng, in his shorts, lay on the bed, with Arbuluo's two large hands like heated branding irons, transforming into afterimages striking Gu Sheng's body, with rhythmical slapping sounds.

Gu Sheng's face was flushed red, showing a struggle worse than death.

Nothing else, as Arbuluo urged the Savage Race's unique healing secret technique, his blood Qi surged with each strike, utterly beyond his control, extremely uncomfortable.

Arbuluo, however, spoke with interest, "You probably chose the wrong body, having a figure and skin better than any woman I've seen."

Gu Sheng's face turned even redder, filled with humiliation, cursing, "Are you sick?"

Just as the words left his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which was pitch black.

Arbuluo chuckled, "See, I told you, don't talk while healing, karma strikes fast!"

Gu Sheng immediately went silent, pretending he was already dead.

Suddenly, Arbuluo paused and said with surprise, "Someone's challenging me?"

After speaking, he continued to strike, muttering, "Never mind, let them wait a bit. Probably Sky Inkstone itching for a beating again."

The only one who could challenge him now was Sky Inkstone. Although Sky Inkstone was not as strong as him or Gu Sheng, he showed incredible tenacity, repeatedly challenging despite defeats, and despite losses beneath both his and Gu Sheng's hands, whenever given a chance, he would initiate another challenge.

What a cultivator needs most is this kind of indomitable spirit, so Arbuluo didn't look down on Sky Inkstone for not being his match.
