117: Top five rankings

"Move it, don't block the way."

Just then, a burly man with a rabbit head and human body walked towards Lin Chen. He roughly pushed Lin Chen aside, his expression full of disdain.

"Where did this bumpkin come from?"

Lin Chen realized he could actually understand what this burly man was saying.

However, his expression immediately turned cold; he couldn't possibly tolerate such an insult.

Immediately, he pointed his fingers like a palm and unleashed a palm strike.

His strongest attack—End of World Destruction Slash!

The burly man in front sensed something, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned around and threw a punch.

However, when his fist met Lin Chen's strike, his expression changed drastically.

Bang!

The End of World Destruction Slash exploded instantly, and the burly man with the rabbit head and human body screamed before turning into nothingness!

At this moment, sounds of surprise and doubt came from nearby.

There were exclamations of awe, disdainful remarks, and some powerful beings who simply glanced and left.

"That Rabbitman Clan strongman was at the seventh stage of the Transcendent Realm; he was actually annihilated by one move!"

"I think that young man's move just now was at least a low-tier Divine-grade combat skill. He must be a genius disciple from some major power."

Lin Chen heard the discussions around him, and he understood.

The Transcendent Realm is the collective term for all realms below the Source Beginning Realm in the Endless Realm, divided into nine stages.

Early martial arts cultivation in the Mortal Realm is different from that in the Endless Realm; beings in the Endless Realm generally specialize in one law first!

Very few people comprehend multiple laws from the beginning, as that would greatly delay the speed of martial arts cultivation.

Unless they are exceptionally monstrous individuals who can comprehend multiple laws simultaneously while maintaining a very fast comprehension speed... The seventh stage of the Transcendent Realm is equivalent to the mid-stage Transcendent Realm in the Mortal Realm, the eighth stage corresponds to the late-stage Transcendent Realm in terms of combat power, and the ninth stage is equivalent to a half-step Source Beginning Realm.

"The mid-stage Transcendent Realm no longer poses a threat to me; I just don't know what my limit is."

At this moment, Little Zi suddenly floated over and sat on his shoulder.

Lin Chen noticed that in this virtual world, Little Zi's body had become very real, unlike the illusory, digitized body it was in the outside world.

He couldn't help but marvel, then he clenched his fist and carefully felt the surrounding environment.

"This virtual world can actually simulate all five senses with 100% accuracy!"

"The world here is just like the real world!"

Lin Chen was deeply shocked.

Blue Star's virtual world could only achieve 99% simulation; although it was only a 1% difference, that 1% made a world of difference.

"Little Zi, introduce this virtual world."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Little Zi, perched on his shoulder, heard this and flew in front of him, hovering. She was very lively, as if she had returned home.

"Master, besides martial arts civilization, some Great Worlds in the Endless Realm also have extremely developed technological civilizations. Hong Country is a nation strong in both martial arts and technology."

"The virtual world is boundless and immense; this city is just where Master was randomly dropped."

"There are countless such city gathering places in the virtual world. Any being without a private territory will be teleported to various cities upon entering the virtual world."

Private territory?

Lin Chen was puzzled.

"A private territory needs to be purchased with source crystals. After purchasing, Master will have an individual space in the virtual world, and Master can freely set and change everything in this space!"

"You can even set it to generate powerhouses of different realms for combat, oh."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up; wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

"Little Zi, how many source crystals does this private territory cost?"

Little Zi smiled mischievously.

"Master, it's not expensive at all, just 1 million source crystals."

1 million?

That's 100 trillion energy points!

Lin Chen couldn't help but complain, "That's really dark..." "Little Zi, are there any other ways for me to fight people and test my strength?"

Little Zi heard this, and her cute big eyes rolled around.

"Master, you can challenge a genius ranking list and fight with geniuses from the Endless Realm. This is more realistic than opponents set in a private territory, oh."

Genius Ranking List?

Lin Chen immediately became interested.

He also wanted to see how strong the geniuses of the Endless Realm were.

"Where is this ranking list? I'll go give it a try."

Lin Chen said with an excited expression.

"Master, the Genius Ranking List is divided into five levels."

"The lowest level is the combat power ranking list for countless Mortal Realm beings in Hong Country—the Mortal Realm Ranking."

"Then there are the combat power ranking lists corresponding to various realms in the Endless Realm—the Transcendent Ranking, the Source Origin Rankings, the Venerable Ranking, and the Dao Realm Ranking!"

"Except for the final Dao Realm Ranking, the other lists only record the names of the top 100 million powerhouses in combat power."

"As long as one makes it onto these lists, they are considered genius figures of their respective realms, and the super-major powers will also extend olive branches to the geniuses on the list."

"Not only that, if a genius on the list is a being from Hong Country, they will also receive generous rewards from Hong Country!"

Only the top 100 million can be included on the list?

Lin Chen was shocked.

One must know that the territory of Hong Country was too vast; millions of Mortal Realms belonged to a small world, and millions of small worlds belonged to a medium world!

Not to mention that small worlds and medium worlds were already very large, and there were many native beings!

One hundred thousand medium worlds belonged to the Ziwei Great World, and the center of power for Hong Country was in the Ziwei Great World!

The total number of martial arts cultivators in Hong Country was an unimaginable figure for Lin Chen.

It could be said to be infinite!

Lin Chen understood the value of these five lists.

"Little Zi, I want to challenge the Mortal Realm Ranking. How do I participate?"

At this moment, Lin Chen was eager to try.

"Master, this city has challenge points for the five major lists. I'll take Master there."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, then flew towards a certain place under Little Zi's guidance.

10 minutes later.

"Master, that's it."

Lin Chen looked ahead, his mind shaken.

An island, tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, had appeared floating above the city ahead.

Countless tiny beings, like locusts, constantly traveled between the island and the city.

Lin Chen then joined them.

After a long while, he ascended to the island.

It was then that he discovered there were countless teleportation gates on the island, and only one being could use each teleportation gate.

Under Little Zi's guidance, Lin Chen entered an empty teleportation gate.

Buzz—

Lin Chen felt his vision blur, and he appeared on a giant void arena.

The arena's diameter exceeded his perception range!

And a virtual panel appeared in front of Lin Chen.

[Please select the challenge ranking level]

There were five ranking options in total, and Lin Chen unhesitatingly chose the Mortal Realm Ranking.

[Please challenger fill in your title and the name of your affiliated Mortal Realm]

Lin Chen thought for a moment and truthfully filled in his name and the Azure Cang Realm. As someone from a small Mortal Realm, he had no need to hide anything.

[Selection successful. Matching in progress... Challenger detected to be participating for the first time. Qualification match can be enabled.]

[Enabled successfully. Now randomly matching challenge opponent...]

Lin Chen waited silently, his eyes full of anticipation.

[Matching successful]

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. A white-robed elder appeared in front of him.

This elder's appearance was surprisingly similar to that of a human, except he had a pair of transparent wings and pointed ears.

This was an Elf Clan member!

This race was even more powerful than the Black Dragon Clan; the Elf Clan controlled a medium world!

Lin Chen's expression became solemn. To be matched with such a strong opponent right from the start?
