96: Tianji Pavilion still has an official website? The Heavenly Ranking! The Divine Ranking!
Shortly after Third Senior Sister left, Ling Xian's eyes narrowed as he glanced toward a withered tree.
“Aren't you coming out yet, or are all of you people from Qianji Pavilion as timid as mice?” Ling Xian's voice was frigid, carrying a hint of a chill.
Seeing that Ling Xian had discovered him and was growing angry, a man in black clothes wearing a black mask stepped out from behind the withered tree.
“Young Master Ling of Donghai indeed has a good eye, but I am not an enemy.” The Black-clothed Man smiled, holding a cell phone in his hand.
“I am merely a recorder for the personnel on the Heaven Ranking.”
While explaining, the Black-clothed Man opened his phone to check the recorded data on the Heaven Ranking.
“Mr. Ling, the Young Grandmaster of Donghai, ranked 192nd on the Heaven Ranking.
Battle record: Slashing a Rank Five with three claws during the Donghai Grand Competition, and piercing a Half-step Grandmaster with a single spear strike.
Latest record: Killing two Rank Fives and one Rank Six in two moves.”
After the Black-clothed Man finished reading, he looked at Ling Xian with a beaming smile.
Ling Xian, however, was somewhat bewildered; he had never found any information regarding the Qianji Pavilion or the Heaven Ranking in the plot concerning the Child of Destiny.
“Another existence that exceeds the original plot,” Ling Xian thought to himself.
“The Qianji Pavilion has emerged in the world to rank the Heaven Ranking and god list of the Dragon Kingdom. The rankings are based on combat power and battle records. For details, you can log on to the official website of the Qianji Pavilion to inquire.”
“Your Qianji Pavilion has been in seclusion for so long, yet you haven't fallen behind? It's one thing to have cell phones, but you even have an official website?”
Ling Xian was also slightly surprised. He couldn't quite figure out if his own stereotypes were too severe or if this Martial Arts World was developing too quickly.
Hearing this, the Black-clothed Man's face was covered in black lines. “Our Qianji Pavilion isn't some group of old fossils isolated from the world. Look at how convenient cell phones are. With an official website, we can release the rankings without even leaving our homes, and martial artists can check them anytime, anywhere.”
“Which martial artist doesn't have a cell phone nowadays?”
After saying that, the Black-clothed Man probably observed the destructive force and other comprehensive factors, took a few photos of the destruction, and then departed.
Leaving Ling Xian alone on the spot, dazed.
“Holy crap, it turns out I'm the old fossil!”
“And the Heaven Ranking, the god list, and so on—what on earth are these things? I need to look them up.”
He sat back down on the bench from before and started searching, but no matter how he searched, there were no results.
“That Qianji Pavilion guy couldn't have been lying to me, right?” Ling Xian muttered.
He then messaged his old man, Ling Tianshi, on his phone to ask.
Sure enough, a link was sent over the next second.
Ling Xian clicked the link and, upon entering the site, saw that there really was an official website for the Qianji Pavilion.
At this moment, he had to admit that he understood the Martial Arts World a bit less than he thought.
“I see. The Heaven Ranking is a list prepared for the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters of the Dragon Kingdom. Being 192nd seems a bit low, but in reality, it's already quite impressive; it's a top-tier existence among Grandmasters.” Ling Xian came to a sudden realization after reading the introduction to the Heaven Ranking.
“However, this Heaven Ranking doesn't seem to be very accurate at the moment. Some experts aren't recorded on it, which means my actual ranking should be outside the top two hundred.”
“If I include some of my trump cards and enter the top one hundred, dealing with those Great Grandmasters shouldn't be a problem,” Ling Xian pondered secretly.
“If I add the Undead Divine Fire, there should be hope for the top fifty, which would be considered mid-level among Great Grandmasters.”
Ling Xian evaluated his own strength, then frowned and murmured to himself, “This world truly produces many heroes!”
This ranking list was released well, released brilliantly, and released at just the right time.
To be honest, the current Ling Xian was feeling a bit complacent. The strongest person he had encountered was only Zhao Qingfeng, an early-stage Great Grandmaster.
But on the ranking list above, there were actually over a hundred Great Grandmasters, and that didn't even include those who weren't recorded.
In an instant, that sense of impetuousness was swept away, replaced by a calm and steady mindset.
He swiped on his phone and found another list: the god list!
Rank Eight—in the past, such people were already considered god-level powerhouses.
It could be said that people who reached this level already stood at the pinnacle of the new era.
Yet Ling Xian discovered that over a dozen people were already recorded on the list, and this didn't even include hidden powerhouses.
Ling Xian's heart was filled with shock, and his fingers trembled slightly as he swiped across the screen.
Above the god list were the famous One Immortal, One Demon, One Monster, and One Saint!
These four were existences that truly transcended the rankings; even those hidden martial arts experts could only hope to catch a glimpse of their backs in comparison.
No one knew their specific realm. Rank Eight? No one believed it. Rank Nine? No one believed that either.
The former felt like an insult by treating them as weaklings, while the latter was because people didn't quite believe that Rank Nines still existed in this world.
Regardless, these four indeed far exceeded Rank Eight combat power... Inside the backyard of Zhian Hall.
“Stand straight!” A sharp shout echoed through the area. Wei Zhiruo, who was reading a medical book, put it down.
Lan Dieyin directly postponed her activities to rush over here.
As for Su Ran, he was dragged over directly by Third Senior Sister.
The three of them stood perfectly straight, not moving an inch.
“Senior Sister~, we know we were wrong, please forgive us.” Lan Dieyin's pitiful, coquettish plea for mercy slowly drifted over.
“What did you do wrong?” Third Senior Sister raised an eyebrow as she sat on a grand armchair, looking at the three of them.
“I shouldn't have used a Sonic Attack on Ling Xian behind your back.” Lan Dieyin lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Wei Zhiruo followed immediately after. “I shouldn't have thrown aphrodisiacs at him.”
When it was Su Ran's turn, he said forcefully and resonance: “I'm not wrong!”
“Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!”
Every time Third Senior Sister shouted “Wrong,” she smacked their foreheads. After three shouts, everyone had an extra bump on their forehead.
“You, your mistake is that your brain cramped up and you used a Sonic Attack against a powerhouse, and you even got caught.” Third Senior Sister pointed at Lan Dieyin and explained.
“And you, using aphrodisiacs in battle? He's stronger than you; if things went south, he could have just used you to vent his heat.” Third Senior Sister glared at Wei Zhiruo.
Wei Zhiruo's face turned crimson, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak. Only when her Senior Sister wasn't looking did she stick out her tongue, completely unrepentant.
“You still dare to stick your tongue out at me?” Third Senior Sister suddenly turned around and delivered a palm strike; a small bump was added on top of Wei Zhiruo's large bump.
“Finally, you. You are truly in the wrong.” Third Senior Sister looked at her Junior Brother, speechless, not understanding how a perfectly good person could turn out like this.
“It's one thing to not treat someone's illness seriously, but you insisted on using it as a means to threaten a young girl. How base. I've also heard about the Xia Family's matter. How come I never heard of you having that kind of rule for treating illnesses?”
Third Senior Sister stared with cold eyes. In an instant, Su Ran felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with thorns at his back.
“Of course, your biggest mistake is that you absolutely should not have provoked such a powerful expert, to the point that even I, your Senior Sister, cannot resolve it.” Third Senior Sister spoke earnestly.
In her view, Wei Zhiruo wasn't wrong to save her Junior Brother, and Lan Dieyin wasn't wrong to seek revenge for him.
But this Junior Brother of hers was like a villain after going down the mountain, stirring up trouble everywhere and refusing to repent.
She felt very helpless regarding this Junior Brother, and even a faint sense of disgust began to emerge.
This disgust would not disappear; instead, it would grow deeper as time passed until it eventually exploded, becoming irrepressible and leading to an immediate break in their relationship!
