When Feng Qingxue received the news, she was stunned.
She hurriedly went to find Lin Xuan. "Lin Xuan, are you really going to challenge the Celestial Ranking?"
"Yes!" Lin Xuan nodded. "Why don’t you try, too?"
"Try what?" Feng Qingxue anxiously stomped her foot. "Have you gotten full of yourself? How could you possibly challenge the Celestial Ranking! From what I know, many second-year disciples have advanced by leaps and bounds lately. A number of them have reached the peak of the two-star rank, and you are simply no match for them. Lin Xuan, don’t do it. It’s not too late to challenge it next year. With your strength, by the ti you’re a second-year student, you’ll definitely beco number one on the Celestial Ranking."
"Next year?" Lin Xuan shook his head. "No need. I can beco number one on the Celestial Ranking right now."
Lin Xuan was very confident. His current strength was imnse. First, his cultivation had reached the one-star Martial General Realm. Additionally, after absorbing the Serpent’s Blood, his physique had surpassed that of a one-star Martial General, making it equivalent to a two-star Martial General. He could now topple a two-star Martial General with a single slap! On top of that, he had mastered the Wind and Cloud Sword Array. With this sword array, he could easily sweep through the ranks of two-star Martial Generals!
So, Lin Xuan had absolute confidence. He was certain he could make it onto the Celestial Ranking, and even beco number one.
He’s gone mad! This kid has lost his mind! Feng Qingxue was dumbfounded. Lin Xuan wants to beco number one on the Celestial Ranking? Dream on! How could he possibly do that? She pleaded endlessly, but she couldn’t persuade him at all.
Even the elders were dumbfounded when they heard the news.
Elder Feng sneered. This kid really dares to challenge the Celestial Ranking! His courage is comndable, but there’s no way he can succeed. Just watch. Once he’s defeated, I’ll drive him away. Moreover, Ye Qingwu will personally take action to cripple him. ’Rookie King’? In front of Ye Qingwu, he’s nothing.
Thinking of this, Elder Feng let out a gloating laugh. He had always disliked Lin Xuan, and now he could finally get rid of him.
The other elders also shook their heads and sighed, all feeling that Lin Xuan had grown far too conceited. After becoming the Rookie King, his arrogance had beco boundless. How dare he challenge the Celestial Ranking? He would definitely fail.
When the Dean heard the news, he snorted coldly. What nonsense. This Lin Xuan is indeed too arrogant. First, he wanted to comprehend the Serpent Celestial Stele and challenge Chu Zhongtian. Now, he’s overestimating his strength and challenging the Celestial Ranking.
However, he did not stop him. Perhaps a defeat wouldn’t be a bad thing for Lin Xuan. A loss could be a wake-up call, forcing him to face reality and beco more grounded.
As for the other second-year senior students, they paid him no mind. So what if he was the Rookie King? To them, he was nothing.
「Finally, the battle for the Celestial Ranking began.」
The ancient arena once again shone with brilliance. At the sa ti, a huge list materialized in the sky. The list was dazzling, radiating a golden light—this was the Celestial Ranking. Getting one’s na on the Celestial Ranking ant not only fa far and wide but also endless benefits. It was sothing countless disciples yearned for.
Countless people gathered around the arena. The crowd was even more spectacular than during the Rookie King competition. Back then, only first-year disciples were watching. The second-year disciples hadn’t co at all, as they were all preparing for the Celestial Ranking battle. But this ti, disciples from both the first and second years were present. Even so third-year disciples ca to watch. Many elders ca too, and the Dean was also present.
The disciples chattered excitedly amongst themselves.
A second-year disciple said, "Did you hear? That Lin Xuan is also going to participate."
"Isn’t he soone abandoned by the heavens?"
"He’s already broken through to a one-star Martial General, so maybe he’s not abandoned by the heavens?"
"You don’t get it, do you? His breakthrough was only possible because he consud a Celestial Spirit Fruit. Otherwise, he couldn’t have done it. But if he wants to break through again, he’ll need another Celestial Spirit Fruit. Where in the world is he going to find so many of them? Therefore, he’ll only ever be a one-star Martial General in this lifeti."
"I also heard he offended Zhao Feiyan."
"Zhao Feiyan will definitely not let him off."
"Zhao Feiyan’s strength has soared, so she’ll definitely make it onto the Celestial Ranking. Lin Xuan actually offended soone like that? He’s dood."
"If I were him, I’d give up the challenge imdiately."
"If he ets Zhao Feiyan in the arena, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be crippled."
As everyone discussed among themselves, the consensus was that Lin Xuan was bound to fail.
Hearing this, Feng Qingxue’s expression changed drastically. She quickly found Lin Xuan. "You need to give up the challenge right now! Co with ."
"Why should I give up?" Lin Xuan asked.
Feng Qingxue spoke quickly. "I just got word that Zhao Feiyan will make a move against you during the competition. I heard she is now at the peak of the two-star Martial General rank and will definitely make it onto the Celestial Ranking. You are no match for her. Last ti you used the Tower Master Token to make her kneel, and she’s held a grudge ever since. She absolutely will not let you go, so you can’t compete."
Lin Xuan laughed when he heard this. "Oh, so it’s Zhao Feiyan. Don’t worry, I don’t take her seriously at all. So what if she’s at the peak of the two-star rank? I can defeat her."
After speaking, Lin Xuan continued to walk toward the arena.
Feng Qingxue was dumbfounded. What? He doesn’t take Zhao Feiyan seriously? How could he dare to say sothing like that? This Lin Xuan is truly arrogant. No matter how strong he is, he can’t possibly be a match for Zhao Feiyan. This ti, even if Lin Xuan takes out the Tower Master Token, Zhao Feiyan won’t kneel again. For the sake of the Celestial Ranking, she will definitely make her move. Once she does, Lin Xuan will have no chance of winning.
Thinking of this, a sense of utter despair washed over Feng Qingxue. She could already envision Lin Xuan’s tragic end.
Lin Xuan arrived near the arena, his appearance eliciting countless gasps from the crowd.
"Look, that’s Lin Xuan!"
"Is he this year’s Rookie King?"
"He really doesn’t know his own limits, daring to challenge the Celestial Ranking?"
Lin Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, ignoring the buzzing crowd around him. He looked up at the golden list in the sky, a smile playing on his lips. Soon, my na will be inscribed on that list, and it will be in the number one spot. By then, my na will be renowned far and wide. I will make countless people look up to .
The crowd began to speculate again, discussing who could make it onto the Celestial Ranking and who would beco number one. Everyone had their own opinions on who could get on the list, and the nas of many geniuses were ntioned as likely candidates. But when it ca to who would be number one, there was no controversy at all.
Everyone believed that the number one spot on the Celestial Ranking could only belong to one person: Ling Fengzi.
Ling Fengzi was the strongest among the second-year disciples. Without a doubt, he was the absolute favorite for number one on the Celestial Ranking.
Ling Fengzi. Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed upon hearing the na. He looked at Feng Qingxue beside him and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Feng Qingxue, being a Direct Disciple, knew more than Lin Xuan. She nodded and said, "I know of him. He is very strong, incredibly so. It’s said that even a three-star Martial General might not be able to defeat him. Not only is Ling Fengzi powerful, but his speed is also incredibly fast. With such extre speed, he is in an inherently unbeatable position."
"I see." Lin Xuan nodded in understanding. When it cos to speed, I have nothing to fear. His Wandering Dragon Step was now on par with the speed of a three-star Martial General.
He smiled and said, "I will defeat him."
Upon hearing this, those around were stunned.
