103: Chapter 103 The Sensation Caused by the Realm Ranking

Han Ming returned to his villa and entered the cultivation room, sitting down cross-legged.

He did not take the Realm Ranking List mentioned by Qian Tong to heart.

With his true strength, being first on the martial sect ranking list was merely taking something out of his pocket, and even the Martial General ranking list was nothing to him.

What truly concerned him was Teacher Xue Muhan's Breakthrough.

He knew better than anyone how difficult the barrier from Peak Martial Emperor to Martial Venerable was.

Countless geniuses were stuck at this step for their entire lives, yet Teacher Xue Muhan had touched the threshold in just one month.

The Heaven-Defying nature of the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture was evident.

Han Ming stopped thinking about it, calmed his mind, took out an 8th-Rank blood qi pill, put it into his mouth, and continued to Cultivate.

The 8th-Rank blood qi pill was a resource for Martial King cultivation, refined from the blood essence of Martial King-level exotic beasts combined with high-grade Spiritual Plants; each pill contained extremely vast energy.

For someone with Martial Ancestor-level strength like Lin Fan, being able to refine just one pill would allow him to Breakthrough four or five small Realms consecutively.

However, a Martial Ancestor's body could not withstand the powerful medicinal force of an 8th-Rank blood qi pill; otherwise, if people like Nangong Li or Ye Yunfeng refined a few pills, wouldn't their strength skyrocket?

They certainly did not lack cultivation resources.

However, due to the powerful Cultivation Techniques they practiced and their talents, they generally had no problem using resources one Rank higher than their current Realm.

And Lin Fan, having practiced the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, could even consume Medicinal Pills two Ranks higher to Cultivate.

The resources in his Cave Heaven World were piled up like mountains: 9th-Rank Medicinal Pills, 8th-Rank Spirit Medicine, and tens of millions of Spirit Stones were enough for him to squander for a long time.

The Ten Thousand Dao Scripture operated at full power, the glow of the Hunyuan Divine Body circulated within his body, and six types of True Intent intertwined and resonated in his Sea of Consciousness.

The surging medicinal force of the 8th-Rank blood qi pill was rapidly refined, transforming into pure True Yuan and pouring into his Dantian.

The Bottleneck of the 5-star Martial General Peak began to loosen.

Boom—

An hour later, his blood qi value, which was originally 59.8 million points, instantly broke through the 60 million mark, and the Bottleneck of the 5-star Martial General shattered at the sound.

And less than one-tenth of the medicinal force of that 8th-Rank blood qi pill had been refined; it was truly worthy of being a Medicinal Pill for Martial King-level cultivation.

Soon, a day passed, and he finally refined all the medicinal force of the 8th-Rank blood qi pill, increasing his blood qi value by another 4 million-plus points.

"Refining one 8th-Rank blood qi pill actually increased my blood qi value by nearly five million points; it really is terrifying."

Han Ming opened his eyes, and five-colored light flickered within them.

Han Ming did not rush to Cultivate; instead, he closed his eyes and released his Divine Sense.

One meter, two meters... ten meters... probing in all directions with Han Ming as the center, the layout and furnishings of the entire villa, every brick and tile, and even an ant or a blade of grass, were all in his view, clearer than what the naked eye could see.

It did not stop until one hundred meters.

His Divine Sense covered a range of one hundred meters, as clear as the lines on one's palm.

Han Ming retracted his Divine Sense and opened his eyes.

Only Martial Marquises began to condense their Divine Sense, and the range of a 1-star Martial Marquis's Divine Sense was only one or two meters, while an average Peak Martial Marquis was only about ten meters.

He was only a Martial General, yet his Divine Sense coverage reached over a hundred meters, comparable to an ordinary 1-star Martial King.

This was the result brought about by the Perfection of his True Intent.

Ten layers of Ice True Intent, ten layers of Water True Intent, and eight layers of Ethereal Sword Intent—these insights, which should have belonged to the Peak Martial King level, allowed his Divine Sense to complete its transformation at the Martial General Realm.

After experiencing the wonders of his Divine Sense, Han Ming took out a Medicinal Pill and began to continue his cultivation.

Soon, another ten-plus days passed, and it was time for the monthly grade ranking challenge.

And what was different this time compared to the last was the addition of a Realm Ranking List.

On the nameplate light screen, five ranking lists—the Great Martial Master list, the Martial Ancestor list, the Martial General list, the Martial Marquis list, and the Martial King list—went online simultaneously, with one hundred spots on each list, and points rewards were distributed monthly based on the ranking.

The first place on the Great Martial Master list was rewarded with 30,000 points per month, with the reward decreasing by 300 points for each Rank lower, until the one hundredth place only received 300 points per month.

The first place on the Martial Ancestor list was rewarded with 100,000 points per month, with the reward decreasing by 1,000 points for each Rank lower, until the one hundredth place only received 1,000 points per month.

The first place on the Martial General list was rewarded with 200,000 points per month.

The first place on the Martial Marquis list was rewarded with 500,000 points per month.

The first place on the Martial King list was rewarded with 1,000,000 points per month, also with the points decreasing by 10,000 for each Rank lower, until the one hundredth place only received 10,000 points per month.

Once the ranking lists were released, the entire Modu Martial Arts University exploded.

The area in front of the bulletin board was packed, and everyone was discussing this brand-new ranking list.

The Great Martial Master list, the Martial Ancestor list, the Martial General list, the Martial Marquis list, and the Martial King list were neatly arranged on the nameplate light screen, with the Realm and grade affiliation marked behind each name.

"The first place on the Martial King list is indeed Qin Wushuang! The highest record holder in the Trial Tower, a 9-star Martial King Peak, just one step away from stepping into the Martial Emperor Realm!"

"Second place, Yue Yunhai, also a 9-star Martial King. Third place, Liu Baiyi, 7-star Martial King Peak."

"Ye Yuntian from the third year actually ranked in the top ten? 5-star Martial King, sixth place."

"Tch, what's there to be surprised about? Isn't it normal for Ye Yuntian to be in the top ten of the Martial King list?"

"Quick, look at the Martial Ancestor list! They are actually all 9-star Martial Ancestors; this competition is too fierce!"

"Are you blind! Isn't there a 7-Star Martial Ancestor ranked in the front?"

"What? A 7-Star Martial Ancestor can also make the list? Where? I'm a 9-star Martial Ancestor and I can't even make the list."

The discussions in front of the bulletin board were incessant, and everyone was curiously searching.

"Fifteenth place, Han Ming, 7-Star Martial Ancestor, a first-year freshman? A freshman can also make the Martial Ancestor list? And he's fifteenth? What kind of joke is this?"

"Look for yourself! Could the nameplate be wrong? Han Ming, 7-Star Martial Ancestor, Trial Tower level 57, comprehended three layers of Wind and Thunder True Intent, ranked fifteenth!"

"Look, there are two more behind him, Nangong Li, sixty-second place, 6-star Martial Ancestor! Gu Lingxi, sixty-fifth place, also a 6-star Martial Ancestor! Three freshmen on the list?"

"A 6-star Martial Ancestor can also make the list? I'm a 9-star Martial Ancestor and I can't get in! By what right?"

"By the right that they have comprehended True Intent and can challenge those of a higher level. Not convinced? You can also issue a challenge to them!"

Those few unconvinced 9-star Martial Ancestor seniors opened their mouths upon hearing this but couldn't say a word, sheepishly closing their mouths.

"What? Han Ming, Nangong Li, and Gu Lingxi have actually entered the Grandmaster list? And all squeezed into the top sixty-five."

"Yes! Especially Han Ming, who actually ranked fifteenth, and has broken through to 7-Star Martial Ancestor; he is simply a Prodigy."

Those freshmen were even more shocked to see that Han Ming and the others could Rank on the Martial Ancestor list.

Martial Ancestors were the most common in the school; there were no fewer than one hundred 9-star Martial Ancestors, so how could they not be surprised that a few freshmen like Han Ming could make the list?

Who in Modu Martial Arts University wasn't a Genius? Challenging those of a higher level was standard.

At this moment, in the cultivation room of the villa, Han Ming slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"9-star Martial General Peak."

After these ten-plus days of cultivation, plus the feedback from his few disciples, he had already broken through to 9-star Martial General.

He picked up the nameplate on his body and took a look, his brows slightly furrowed, "Only fifteenth on the Martial Ancestor list? It seems the school really is full of hidden talents!"

He had originally thought that with the strength he had displayed, he could steadily take first place, but he didn't expect to be ranked only fifteenth.

He took another look at the top rankings of the other lists, "Qin Wushuang, Yue Yunhai?"

Han Ming looked at the Martial King list, at the first few names, a glimmer of sharpness flashing in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

They were the true Geniuses of Modu Martial Arts University, at least 3S-level existences.
