The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell novel Chapter 232

The more than 10000 apprentices did not seem to be shocked by the announced number of participants, and it was apparent that it would be the same for each ranking competition.

Then, Violet started calculating.

‘The spiritual apprentice list is a single-elimination tournament, which means as long as I win two matches, I can almost enter the top one thousand.

’Next, it was time to draw lots in front of the public.

For the sake of fairness, the draw would be based on the previous ranking competition, and disciples of the same level would be arranged into different groups.

That way, the strong would be prevented from preying on the weak.

The previous top ten disciples would directly be arranged to a different group.

Then, the remaining twentieth to fiftieth disciples would be divided into ten various groups, and so on…

At that time, the atmosphere finally became somewhat tense.

Although the groups were arranged as fair as possible, the spiritual apprentice list was once every three months.

In those three months, the cultivators’ strength would have changed too.

Hence, it would be inevitable to have intense collisions during the division of groups.

When some disciples noticed that they were against a higher-ranking opponent in the first round, they immediately showed a look of despair.

On the other hand, the strong apprentices that were against weaklings showed a confident expression.

When it was Violet’s turn, he appeared calm.

After all, he had seen worse scenes, and that type of competition was not enough to scare him.

After drawing his lot, Violet looked at the group lists, and he was shocked.

The strongest person in that competition was the only female disciple in the top ten last time, and she was also the one that caught the most attention among the top ten, Maya!

Violet turned to look at Maya, who sat dignified in the distance.

Maya would naturally not notice Violet in the crowd.

‘This is slightly difficult.

However, it doesn’t mean I don’t stand a chance.

’ Violet raised his head and looked at the top ten disciples.

Soon, he walked toward his seat.

Once everyone drew lots, the competition started immediately.

The rules for the spiritual apprentice list were straightforward.

There were no rules.

The disciples could do everything within their means to knock the opponent off the ring or until they admitted defeat.

There was no need to worry about showing any killer moves at that time as there would be Holy Land Realm elders and elite disciples watching by the side.

As long as the disciple’s life was in danger, they would naturally stop the match.

However, once they appear, the apprentice that wanted to kill the other disciple would be the losing party.

As elders and elite disciples spectated the competition, it was naturally impossible for anyone to use crooked means to win the match.

The Heavenly Stars Sect organized such a ranking competition every three months naturally to encourage the disciples to fight for cultivation resources.

Nonetheless, any tricks would not be allowed.

If such a disciple was found, the easier punishments would be losing the competition, deducting their salary for a specific time, and being banned from participating in the tournament for a period.

At worst, they would be disposed of and expelled from the Heavenly Star Sect.

Back in the early days, some disciples might even use some minute tricks.

However, some people received severe punishment, which became an example for others not to do anything anymore.

Consequently, there was no problem in the recent hundreds of matches.

Violet’s opponent in the first round was a relatively strong apprentice, and his weapon was a massive ax, which was the size of a wheel.

When he stood in the arena, the huge shadow appeared terrifying.

When the disciple appeared in front of Richard, he then said arrogantly, “I was ranked eight hundred and seventy-two in the previous ranking competition.

You might as well just give up and don’t waste our time.
