65: The top ten geniuses are announced!

The scene before their eyes slowly unfolded.

The first thing that came into view was the bustling square of the Tianji Restaurant.

At this time every month, a large number of idle cultivators and spies from various forces would gather at the Tianji Restaurant in the Five Continents to discuss the Ten Great Geniuses of the month.

"Have you all heard! Just half an incense stick ago, the Golden Dragon Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land defeated the Leopard Brothers from the Shadowless Leopard Tribe!"

"What!? Aren't those Leopard Brothers both veteran powerhouses at the Great Emperor Tenth Level?"

"That's why it's so surprising! Guess what move the Golden Dragon Holy Son used?"

"Stop guessing! He used the long-lost Demon God Order, and with just one move, Mountain River Suppression, he completely crushed the Great Emperor Tenth Level Leopard Brothers to death!"

"What is the Golden Dragon Holy Son's cultivation level exactly?"

"You'll know when the ranking is released later!"

The square was bustling with noise.

At this moment, people from all sides who should have been discussing the various geniuses were instead all focused on the Golden Dragon Holy Son.

This caused some of the young geniuses who had rushed here to see the ranking as soon as possible to sigh repeatedly.

"Is it unfortunate or fortunate to live in the same era as him?"

In the shade of a certain restaurant.

A silver-haired little boy wearing a straw cape, who looked only about ten years old, leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head, sighing at the sky.

A fat monk in a yellow hemp robe passed by him. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, it is all fate."

"Haha, Fat Monk, you've come too."

By a table not far away, a red-haired young man with muscular arms and a tall, sturdy build had his legs propped on the table. He turned back, laughing loudly with his arms crossed: "I even made a bet with the Demon Concubine on how many ranked geniuses would come to the Cangxuan Continent branch of the Tianji Restaurant. I bet more than three, she bet no more than three. Looks like I won!"

The red-haired young man turned back: "Come on, Demon Concubine, ten high-grade spirit stones."

Across the same table, a woman in a purple dress, whose left eye was partially covered by her long purple hair, revealing a fair, delicate face and enchanting eyes, sipped the fine wine in her hand and said calmly, "Are men all so impatient? Whether you can make the ranking... is still uncertain~"

"Haha, everyone is here."

Suddenly, an arrogant, unruly male voice came from the crowd.

The geniuses turned their heads to look and saw a man in black squeezing out from the crowd. The man was tall and slender with an ordinary appearance. He wore a pair of gold hoop earrings and was grinning, showing full arrogance.

"Very good."

He scanned the four people in front of him, his eyes revealing undisguised battle intent: "I really want to fight you all, hahahaha!"

"Ji Xuantian..."

The red-haired young man clearly recognized him. Not only did he take his legs off the table, but he also straightened his posture, clearly becoming serious.

Dong—!

Just then, drum sounds came from the top floor of the Tianji Restaurant.

Everyone in the square immediately realized that the Ten Talents Ranking was about to be released!

"The Ten Talents Ranking is officially announced!"

"Tenth place, Ji Xuantian from Nanling Continent, Shenwang First Level!"

After such a loud announcement from the top of the restaurant, they saw a scroll several dozen meters long hanging down from the roof.

The figure on the scroll was lifelike, it was the appearance of Ji Xuantian himself.

Beside the portrait, there were also large golden characters recording his main information.

[Ji Xuantian, twenty years old.]

[Originally an unknown person, he suddenly emerged half a month ago, sweeping through many new talents of the Southern Spirit Sword Sect with his Heavenly God Fifth Level cultivation, and his fame gradually rose...]

[Possesses the Supreme Sword Body, has condensed tyrannical sword intent, and has already developed the rudiment of a sword domain. He has been praised by many famous sword sects as a "Sword Dao Prodigy"...]

[His personality is arrogant and wild, with a subtle side to his roughness. He loves to challenge geniuses from all walks of life and has great combat talent...]

As soon as the information on the scroll was announced, many forces instantly recorded it using magical spirit tools.

Of course, it was also accompanied by discussions from those who enjoyed the excitement.

"An ordinary genius, indeed quite fitting."

"So powerful as soon as he emerged, I wonder who his master is."

"Originally, Shenwang First Level could rank fifth or sixth, but this time it's only tenth. It seems the quality of this batch is very high!"

"I heard there are others with Shenwang First Level cultivation as well, but Ji Xuantian has multiple records of defeating the strong with the weak supporting him, so he was placed on the ranking."

"......"

Ji Xuantian stood stunned in place.

What!?

My Shenwang First Level, is only ranked tenth!?

He originally expected fifth or sixth place, or at worst, seventh or eighth. He never expected to fall to the last place.

Even if he didn't have his battle records to support him, he might not even have made it to tenth place?

"Ninth place, Zhou Hao from Heavenly Star Continent, God King."

The scroll unfolded, it was the silver-haired little boy.

"Eighth place, Zhang Jiuyun from Heavenly Star Continent, God King Fourth Level!"

The fat monk in the yellow hemp robe smiled slightly.

"Seventh place, Liu Qingxue from North Sea, God King Seventh Level."

The purple-dressed woman turned her head.

She nodded and smiled at the crowd whose eyes were focused on her.

"Sixth place, Ye Liuhuo from Northern Barbarian Continent, Shenwang Tenth Level!"

The red-haired young man sprang up abruptly, waving and laughing loudly at the numerous gazes cast upon him: "Hahahaha, that's me, that's me! I am Ye Liuhuo."

After speaking, he extended his hand towards Liu Qingxue: "I won."

"Yes, you won."

Liu Qingxue casually threw him a storage bag.

"Fifth place, Zhao Shichong from Nanling Continent, Shenwang Tenth Level!"

"Fourth place, Lan Ao from East Sea, Shenwang Tenth Level!"

"Third place, Li Fei from the Li Family, Supreme Second Level!"

"Second place, Zhao Yujie from Immortal Spirit Continent, Supreme Fourth Level!"

Soon.

Amidst bursts of exclamations, only the last person on the Ten Talents Ranking remained to be revealed.

But almost everyone knew who it was.

"The reason I came here is actually to see with my own eyes what this young man who defeated my cousin looks like!"

Seeing that the first place was about to be revealed, Ye Liuhuo couldn't help but stand up.

His eyes were like fire, staring intently at the last scroll that hadn't been unrolled yet, his anticipation clearly showing.

"Amitabha, Master said the world outside is vast, so he sent this little monk out to see the world."

Zhang Jiuyun looked up at it, a hint of piety on his face.

"And if I haven't even met the strongest cultivator of a similar age, how can I be considered to have seen the world?"

Under the anticipation of everyone present.

The manager on the top floor of the restaurant also didn't keep everyone in suspense and let down the last scroll.

What followed was ethereal immortal music, like a great bell of heaven and earth, resounding throughout the island and spreading outwards.

"First place on this period's Ten Talents Ranking!"

"Cangxuan Continent! Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land! Golden Dragon Holy Son—Lin Sheng!"

"Cultivation Realm—Great Emperor Sixth Level!"
