Chapter 45: This is Humiliation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Mu never imagined he would become third on the 3000 Physique Rankings.

The moment he saw his name, Su Mu could not believe it was the reality.

It was not until the two golden lights flew over from the Heavenly Dao Rankings, one fusing into the spot between his brows and the other landing in his hand. He finally believed that miracles do exist.

After he completely comprehended the Nine Pure Immortal Light Scripture, his gaze became incomparably bright, like the stars in the sky.

Confidence surfaced on his face.

He would definitely have no problem entering the Five Elements Sect with such a powerful physique.

However, before that, he had to conceal his identity.

He would find a deserted place to consume this Dao Fate pill to improve his strength.

Su Mu knew very well that a man’s wealth is his ruin by itself. He had definitely become the meat in the eyes of countless people.

Therefore, before he entered the Five Elements Sect and obtained the protection of a large sect, he could not expose his identity and whereabouts.

He looked around. Fortunately, the small village was quiet at night.

Other than a dog’s barking, no one could be seen. Thus no one noticed that he had obtained the Heavenly Dao Rankings reward.

However, he could not stay here anymore.

He quickly put away the pill and ran into the distance.

He had to find a safe place to hide first.

…

“There are only two left. The rewards from the Heavenly Dao must be immortal techniques as well. If not for the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Rankings, there probably wouldn’t be so many immortal techniques in our Great Xia Dynasty at once!”

“Yeah, I feel like more undiscovered prodigies are about to be unearthed!”

“I wonder if Li Yu is amongst them!”

“Mm, this kid is ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. He’s still so young, so he might really possess some sort of powerful physique!”

“Hey, look. The second place!”

Amidst the anticipation and discussion of countless people, information about second place appeared on the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

# 2: Connate Sword Body

Owner of Physique: Ji Qinglan

Origin: Royal Family of the Xi Liang Dynasty

Reward: Low-grade immortal cultivation technique, Heart of the Sword Art. One Sword Heart Fruit

“What…”

The moment Ji Qinglan’s name appeared, the Jade Pure Dao Sect, the Great Sky Dao Sect, the Five Elements Sect, the various sects, royal families… As well as countless people who were paying attention to the rankings erupted with disbelief.

Their faces were filled with shock!

“Ji Qinglan, why did someone from the Xi Liang Dynasty get onto our Great Xia Dynasty’s rankings!”

“Yeah, what’s going on!”

“And he’s in second place? What’s on earth is happening!”

“Is there a mistake with the Heavenly Dao Rankings?”

“For real, why would someone from the Xi Liang Dynasty be on our Great Xia Dynasty’s rankings!”

“Why is he in second place? Why is he on our rankings?!”

“Is it because he’s currently in our Great Xia Dynasty now? Look, isn’t it written on the Heavenly Dao Rankings? Everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty has a chance to enter the rankings. In other words, it doesn’t differentiate between the countries they belong to!”

“Then wouldn’t that mean he could obtain two rewards!”

“Probably not. If he’s in our Great Xia Dynasty now, he should not be on the Xi Liang Dynasty’s rankings!”

“Mm, that should be the case!”

“The second place is actually from Xi Liang. How f*cking ironic!”

Just as countless people were baffled, an annotation appeared on the Heavenly Dao Rankings:

As Ji Qinglan is currently in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, he is included in this ranking. Rewards are only given once. No repeat appearance on another region’s ranking.

Upon seeing the annotations on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, everyone understood the situation.

However, they were still greatly displeased.

The second-place they anticipated was actually someone from Xi Liang.

This was simply a form of humiliation.

Moreover, if Ji Qinglan entered the ranking, it would be equivalent to snatching a spot in the Great Xia Dynasty.

This is another form of invasion!

“Damn, why isn’t this fellow staying put in the Xi Liang Dynasty? What is he doing here?”

“I heard that he’s here to challenge the top ten of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings. Apparently, Lin Chen, Zhu Xiaotian, and the others have received challenge letters!”

“I’ve heard of it too. Ji Qinglan’s strength is extraordinary. It’s said that he has already consecutively defeated the number one on the Hidden Dragon Rankings of many countries and has never tasted defeat!”

“Ji Qinglan is actually that strong!”

“Yeah. The Connate Sword Body is the strongest physique for a sword cultivator. It’s a body designed to slaughter. When he executes the same sword technique divine art, its power will be multiple times that of others. Is that not powerful enough?! Looking at the Heavenly Dao Rankings proves everything!”

“Ugh, although I’m unwilling to admit it, it seems that Ji Qinglan’s strength is indeed terrifying!”

In Nan’an City’s royal inn, the elites of the Xi Liang Dynasty laughed hysterically.

“This is amusing. Our prince has actually made it onto their rankings. Congratulations, our prince is the best!”

“Your Highness is undoubtedly powerful enough to be ranked second in the physique rankings. Those people from the Great Xia Dynasty must be dumbfounded now!”

“Haha, the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty must be losing face. He’s only fourth place, and his reward is only a heaven-tier cultivation technique. While in second place, His Highness’s reward is an immortal technique! The difference is self-evident!”

“That Murong Xingqiao is not worthy of comparison with our Highness! His Highness is the first on the Xi Liang Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings. If that crown prince goes to our Xi Liang Dynasty, he probably won’t even enter the top ten!”

“Hehe, that’s what I’m talking about. The Heavenly Dao Rankings will reveal this fact to the public and let the people of the Great Xia Dynasty see the difference between them and us!”

“I really want to see the expressions of those people from the Great Xia Dynasty right now!”

“Keep your voices down. Don’t forget that we’re still in their territory. Don’t say those useless things!” Ji Qinglan said.

There was no joy on his face. Instead, he looked grim.

He was surprised that he had entered the Great Xia Dynasty’s rankings.

However, he was not satisfied with the second place.

There’s actually someone in the Great Xia Dynasty whose physique is superior to mine?

Let me see who this person is.

…

“I really didn’t expect that such a dramatic event would actually occur on this ranking. Ji Qinglan will appear on this ranking!”

“Yeah, it was originally only a ranking for the special system, but since it involves the people of two countries, the nature of this ranking has changed!”

Perfected Yu Hua and the elders said with grave expressions.

“And our Crown Prince is on the rankings too. If the princes of the two countries appear on the same rankings, people will definitely compare them!”

“Fortunately, he’s only in second place. If he really took first place, our Great Xia Dynasty would be utterly humiliated!”

“I’m still worried if the first place is also from the Xi Liang Dynasty!”

“No way!” The atmosphere dampened as they became nervous.

After all, they knew that Ji Qinglan hadn’t come alone.

Other than the young elites of the Xi Liang Dynasty, there were a few other top experts.

Who knew if there was a superior physique among these people.

“If that’s the case, then it’s bad. It’s simply the humiliation of the country!”

“Who would have thought that the Heavenly Dao Rankings would have such rules!”

“No, wait, there’s still Li Yu. That kid is a monster. He might have some unknown special physique!”

“Oh yes! Right now, our best hope is Li Yu!”
