An Nuo remained in place, waiting for Shao Feng and the others to emerge.
Shao Feng came out carrying two cubs and happened to see An Nuo.
"Are you feeling any better?" An Nuo walked over to comfort Shao Feng. "Children will grow up sooner or later, and actually, Si Qing isn't wrong. That competition isn't necessarily dangerous. We can all go together."
Shao Feng nodded, looking dejected. "Don't say anymore, I've already agreed."
An Nuo's face showed surprise, then a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "How did you agree?"
"..." Shao Feng glanced at the two cubs in his arms, his meaning clear.
An Nuo suddenly understood.
It must have been the two cubs using their cuteness to make Shao Feng reluctantly agree to the matter.
Yue Zhi Yin, Qi Nian, and Sui You, standing nearby, exchanged glances and looked impressed, believing that Qi Yu was likely responsible for Shao Feng's agreement.
"In that case, let's go register first," An Nuo said, looking at Yue Zhi Yin. "Registration for the War God Ranking closes tonight. We'll go register directly."
"Okay!" Qi Yu cheered, raising his hand.
"Okay!" Si Qing reverted to his original form and climbed onto Shao Feng's head, cheering.
Shao Feng snorted, grabbed the two siblings from his body, and carried them all the way to the Nine Heavens.
Nine Heavens, Xuan Ji Pavilion.
Men and women from various races were lining up, receiving plaques one after another, becoming participants in the War God Ranking.
The names of every participant who successfully registered would appear on the golden War God Ranking list in the sky.
To ascend the War God Ranking, one first needed to receive a number plaque and then enter the arena for challenges.
The War God Ranking list in the sky would automatically display the opponents for the upcoming matches.
The names of those who lost would be marked with a gray cross.
Then, the winner's name could move up a bit, continue to face the second challenge, and so on, until the end.
There were a total of three arenas.
The competition was divided into three groups, proceeding simultaneously. Once the strongest contestant from each of the three groups was selected, those three would then engage in a final showdown.
Whoever won would become the prominent figure of the Three Realms War God Ranking for the year.
Although the winner of the War God Ranking received a reward of high-grade immortal status, even immortal beings and gods who already possessed a rank could participate in the competition.
After registration, the official competition would begin in about an hour.
Qi Yu, Si Qing, and Yan Hua, although participating in different groups after registering, did not have their matches at the same time. The first to compete was Yan Hua.
Chen Xi sat in the audience, cracking melon seeds.
Yan Hua's opponent was a fierce warrior from the Winged Tiger clan.
He wielded a large battle axe, his body was muscular, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Seeing Yan Hua standing there, he immediately raised his axe and charged.
Yan Hua stood his ground and flicked his dragon tail from behind his waist.
With a *snap*, he sent his opponent flying off the stage.
Chen Xi, sitting below the arena, had already anticipated the scene and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Meanwhile, Si Qing also entered the second arena.
Shao Feng watched the arena, more nervous than Si Qing, his brows furrowed so tightly they could kill a mosquito.
Although An Nuo kept comforting him, telling him not to be nervous and not to overthink, she herself was also constantly watching the arena.
Soon, Si Qing's opponent also slowly walked onto the stage.
The opponent was a tree spirit from the demon race. He looked young but was taller than Si Qing. Although his cultivation was at the Nascent Soul stage, it couldn't suppress Si Qing at all.
He cupped his hands in a salute to Si Qing.
Si Qing returned the salute and then, the moment the vine attack came, he vanished from the tree demon's sight.
