Chapter 430: Chapter 430: The Ranking List Feels Off Chapter 430: Chapter 430: The Ranking List Feels Off She felt as if a day had passed in the cave, while a millennium had gone by in the outside world.
When had Jiang Fan beco such a dazzling individual?
Feeling equally surreal was Jin Zhongming.
Looking at Jiang Fan, who was surrounded like the moon among stars by elite disciples such as Xia Chaoge, Liang Feiyan, Hua Xiangchen, Li Shiqian, Xie Liushu, and others.
He found it exceptionally glaring.
In any past occasion, at any ti, this was the position he always stood in.
When had an unknown junior from Green Cloud Sect also been able to take away his place?
He dragged the Comparable to Heaven Halberd and walked over with large strides.
The piercing sound of friction interrupted the idle chatter among the crowd.
Except for Xia Chaoge, who did not pay attention and continued to inquire about Jiang Fan’s trip to Tai Lake with great interest.
Liang Feiyan and the others felt uneasy upon seeing Jin Zhongming’s hostile appearance.
The disciples of the Giant Sect were inherently domineering.
As the chief, Jin Zhongming was even more so.
No one dared not to fear him.
“Kid, you’re in a pretty good mood, huh!” Jin Zhongming approached aggressively.
Jiang Fan replied indifferently, “It would be better if you went further away.”
Buzz—
The Comparable to Heaven Halberd emitted a tremor, caused by Jin Zhongming’s exertion of strength.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at Jiang Fan like a beast locking onto its prey.
Like a fierce tiger ready to pounce at any mont.
Making everyone’s heart filled with anxiety and unease.
Liang Feiyan braced himself and said, “Brother Jin, let’s talk this out.”
“If there is any misunderstanding between you and Junior Brother Jiang, I will host a gathering for everyone to talk it out, how does that sound?”
As soone renowned for his good relationships in the group, Liang Feiyan still had so face.
Jin Zhongming gave him a sideways glance, “What, you want to intervene?”
“Then you substitute for him, break your limbs and cut off your tongue?”
Liang Feiyan found himself in an utterly embarrassing position.
Usually polite to him, Jin Zhongming was unexpectedly so unyielding today.
Did they have so unresolved grudge?
“Junior Brother Jiang, what’s going on between you and him?” Liang Feiyan asked softly.
Jiang Fan replied calmly, “Nothing much, he’s just a sore loser.”
Buzz—
Jin Zhongming’s face turned cold, and he raised the Comparable to Heaven Halberd, resting it against Jiang Fan’s neck,
“Who did you say is a sore loser?”
“It’s just luck, not encountering danger and completing a rescue task by chance.”
“Had you taken on my task, you’d be dead by now!”
“And you call a sore loser?”
“Laughable!”
Looking at the incredibly sharp Comparable to Heaven Halberd, everyone’s eyelids twitched.
They all urged Jin Zhongming to calm down.
Not to harm Jiang Fan.
Only Jiang Fan remained unperturbed, grasping the Halberd between two fingers and examining it with interest.
“The touch is icy. It should be made of cold iron with so special materials added. It feels very heavy.”
“It’s a fine weapon.”
“I’ll take it!”
Then he flicked his finger.
The thousand-jin heavy Comparable to Heaven Halberd was easily flicked aside.
Jin Zhongming, caught off guard, almost lost his weapon.
He was both shocked and furious.
Shocked that Jiang Fan, appearing frail, had such great strength.
Furious that he nearly made a fool of himself in front of so many people!
Just as he was about to vent his anger, several figures walked out of the command post.
The first to step out was Ye Cangyuan.
Following closely behind were two strong practitioners dressed in Heavenly chanism Pavilion garnts.
A man and a woman, each standing half a step behind Ye Cangyuan.
As soon as Ye Cangyuan appeared, the entire scene imdiately quieted down.
Like boiling water suddenly added with ice, it instantly beca serene.
“Let introduce to everyone.”
“These two are here on behalf of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master, to announce last month’s rit list and handle the rewards exchange.”
“Commissioner Luo Dongcheng and Commissioner Lin Yuheng.”
The disciples on the field watched Luo Dongcheng with curious eyes.
He held a bright yellow scroll, enhanced with a seal, in both hands.
Without a doubt.
This was the eagerly anticipated rit list.
Luo Dongcheng stepped forward and smiled, “Four hundred and fifty-one disciples executed tasks last month.”
“Due to ti constraints, this commissioner will only announce the nas of the top ten disciples.”
“Those whose nas are not called can check the notice board for their ranking.”
Liang Feiyan took a deep breath.
The mont of truth had finally arrived.
The Nine-Sect always compared themselves with one another.
But never had the top elite disciples from each sect gathered to execute tasks together like this.
This list appeared to be a personal ranking of disciples.
In reality, it was a contest among the sects.
Whichever sect’s disciples perford outstandingly on the list would undoubtedly bring great honor to their sect.
Therefore.
It was more a competition of sects than individual ranks.
Giant Sect, Supre Sect, and Myriad Swords Sect, long known as the Upper Three Sects.
If their disciples perford poorly, they would easily beco the laughing stocks of the other six sects.
However, he had confidence.
Among the Nine Sects, aside from Xia Chaoge and Jin Zhongming, it was difficult for anyone to surpass his ranking.
Third place should be secured.
Tear—
As Luo Dongcheng tore open the seal.
It signified that the list personally ranked by the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master, unseen by anyone beforehand.
Was unveiled to the world for the first ti.
Elites like Liang Feiyan and Xie Liushu naturally felt tense.
Those who knew they had no chance to enter the top ten were much more relaxed.
They speculated animatedly with lowered heads.
“Co on, co on, place your bets, let’s guess the rankings.”
“I bet the top three are from the Upper Three Sects. If I lose, all the crystal stones are yours, but if I win, just give a little, heh heh.”
“Do you think I’m running a charity? Is there even a need to guess the top three? Outside the Upper Three Sects, who else could make it?”
“Let’s guess the seven places behind…”
No one had any disputes about the top three.
The intrigue lay in the remaining positions.
It depended on how many spots the other six sects could secure.
Xia Chaoge remained serene and silent, occasionally glancing at the list and sotis at Jiang Fan.
She seed indifferent to the rankings.
Jin Zhongming stood with arms folded, exuding supre confidence.
The second place was as solid as a rock for him.
No one could match him.
He also occasionally glanced at Jiang Fan, focusing on his limbs, seemingly contemplating where to strike first.
The list unfurled.
Luo Dongcheng’s gaze locked onto the tenth na, announcing,
“Tenth place, Hua Xiangchen, successful in three first-level Mysterious tasks, failed in one first-level Mysterious task, three hundred rit points.”
Upon hearing the ranking.
Many disciples frowned.
They found it hard to believe this ranking.
“That’s not right; Hua Xiangchen’s ranking is too low!”
“He’s only tenth!”
“Successfully completing three first-level tasks, he should at least be in the top six!”
Hua Xiangchen was greatly surprised as well.
Which elites were in Sunset City and how many tasks were successfully completed, were not secrets.
His performance should have placed him in the top few.
How did he almost fall out of the top ten?
The huge disparity left him montarily unable to accept it.
Luo Dongcheng continued, “Ninth place, Liu Qingxian, successful in three first-level Mysterious tasks, failed in one first-level Earth task, three hundred rit points.”
This did not cause much of a stir.
Everyone observed Liu Qingxian’s efforts since arriving at Sunset City.
She could be ranked ahead of Hua Xiangchen.
Because her failed task, patrolling Tai Lake, was an Earth-level task.
Hence, with equal rit points, her ranking was higher than Hua Xiangchen’s.
“Liu Qingxian’s performance matches her efforts.”
“Indeed, no complaints, a newcor who just entered Core Formation surpassing the older generation of Core Formation like Hua Xiangchen, and as a female disciple, it wasn’t easy at all.”
Liu Qingxian’s eyes turned red.
A month of hard work finally paid off.
She had secured a spot for Green Cloud Sect in advance.
Unfortunately, the ranking wasn’t very high.
Jiang Fan smiled, “Congratulations, Senior Sister, Green Cloud Sect is proud of you.”
Liu Qingxian, with tears in her eyes, nodded happily.
Jin Zhongming sneered, “Getting ninth place and she’s this happy.”
“What an achievent.”
“My junior brother is ranked much higher.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Luo Dongcheng announced, “Eighth place, Xue Wanchong, successful in three first-level Mysterious tasks, successful in one second-level task.”
Jin Zhongming’s eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, “Eighth?”
“How is that possible?”
