Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

As Long Qingshui and others left, the cultivators in the square turned their attentions to the recently updated Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

Lin Tianming did the same, looking at the list at the first opportunity, searching for his own name.

Looking at the top of the list, the first position was still firmly held by Long Qingshui, whose score of 3,350 points was significantly ahead of Jiang Yuyao in second place.

Still in third place was Jun Buhui, with a total score of 3,020 points; together with the first two, they were the only Foundation Establishment Cultivators to have broken through the 3,000-point mark.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but marvel.

"Three thousand points means they have killed thirty Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts with their own hands!"

"Thirty of them!"

In fact, Lin Tianming's amazement was not unwarranted.

Imagine, if these thirty were to form a Monster Beast Legion, they could easily sweep through the Luoyun Mountain Range and even the nearby areas.

Such formidable strength was not something one mountain range could withstand alone, and even if several great mountain ranges joined forces, victory was not guaranteed.

Thus, the impressive battle achievements of people like Long Qingshui did indeed seem somewhat inconceivable.

Coming back to reality amidst the lively atmosphere, he continued to gaze down the Demon Hunter Leaderboard, his familiar name emerging in his mind.

At the fifth position, he saw his own name on the list.

His total score was 2,820 points, making him the top-ranking cultivator among all those who were not Zhenyang Sect Disciples.

Seeing his name on the list and placed fifth overall, Lin Tianming felt very excited, with a composed smile flashing across his face.

After calming his emotions, he continued to examine the positions later in the Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

A tea's time passed, and Lin Tianming had thoroughly reviewed the entire Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

From what he saw, the former Loose Cultivator Zheng Xiao had fallen to seventh place in the overall rankings, Li Xiuyuan was in eighth, and Hu Yuan stood at tenth.

The formerly high-ranking Deng Guanghua and Yang Tongshun had dropped to twelfth and fifteenth respectively.

Looking at the Demon Hunter Leaderboard, Lin Tianming felt somewhat surprised, which then led him into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, following the last few major battles, the always consistent Deng Guanghua and his companion slipped beyond the top ten.

But upon closer consideration, the gap between the cultivators on the list wasn't large to start with; just over a hundred points could drastically improve their rankings.

Moreover, the key factor was that the final battle spanned a long time, and cultivators were spread out, with their collective strength not fully concentrated.

Under such circumstances, those with good luck could achieve more, while those with less luck met lower-ranked Demonic Beasts or fewer in number, and naturally earned fewer battle achievements.

Therefore, such significant changes in the rankings during the most crucial sprint phase were within reason.

As for Deng Guanghua and Yang Tongshun, originally strong contenders for the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, they were overtaken by Hu Yuan, who was previously behind them, due to their lesser fortune.

And as Lin Tianming's teammate, Hu Yuan's ranking climbed further, securing the last available spot for the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm.

For this, Hu Yuan was extremely excited, showing a look of gratitude in his eyes when he turned to Lin Tianming.

"Lin my friend, thanks to Brother Lin's wholehearted support this year, I might not have been able to secure my spot for the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm otherwise!" said Hu Yuan with clasped hands and a sincere expression.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming modestly waved his hand, then smilingly replied, "Daoist Hu, you're too kind!"

"Daoist Hu is powerful, and I too have been fortunate to receive your help this past year, allowing me to achieve a respectable ranking."

"Hehe... If you ask me, it's a win-win situation, we've helped each other achieve success!"

"You make a good point, Lin," Hu Yuan said with a laugh. "We've cooperated quite tacitly over the past year or so, and the results have indeed been satisfying!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, feeling quite in agreement with the sentiment.

Gazing upon every name on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard, each had more or less cooperated with others to achieve such impressive results.

There were probably only a few such as Long Qingshui who could achieve such success on their own.

In most instances, when cultivators cooperated, their strength increased and they could gain better rewards.

Reflecting on this, Lin Tianming felt a tinge of sentiment.

This was the foundation of the Zhenyang Sect; aside from a few Golden Core Cultivators, there was also no shortage of talented Foundation Establishment Stage disciples.

Zhenyang Sect dominated much of the Demon Hunter Leaderboard, with Loose Cultivators and clan members comprising less than a third of listed names.

Especially those top-ranked individuals, with their substantial cultivation and strength, could score points that left others in the dust, creating a gap between them and the rest.

Although, in this great battle, figures like Long Qingshui benefited from their status as Inner Sect Disciples and team leaders, granting them some advantages.

Yet, considering their cultivation and strength, it was evident they were genuinely formidable.

Every person within the top ten of the Demon Hunter Leaderboard was no pushover, with their strength by no means inferior to his own.

Like such talented disciples, apart from those who appeared on the battlefield, the Zhenyang Sect undoubtedly had at least a dozen more within who did not participate in the battle.
