Hua Wushuang had directly fainted, while Xiao Chen had suffered serious injuries. As a result, the villa master did not say anything and immediately sent someone to arrange for the two of them to rest.
He did not seem to care about the outcome of the battle, nor did he care about his son's defeat. Of course, the main reason was probably because the villa master himself knew that he had no right to interfere with the Saint Rankings.
Moreover, this battle was absolutely fair. Both of them did not use any tricks. Xiao Chen was able to defeat Hua Wushuang because of his strength. In this way, what could the villa master of Hundred Flowers Villa say?
Xiao Chen and Hua Wushuang were quickly sent to rest and recuperate. As for the spectators, they gradually dispersed under the arrangements of the Hundred Flowers Manor's guards.
However, although everyone had dispersed and the screen of light in the sky had gradually disappeared, the matter quickly caused a commotion in the Central World.
Of course, the commotion did not originate from the battle. Instead, it originated from Xiao Chen.
How long had it been since Xiao Chen had ascended to the Saint Rankings? However, Xiao Chen had forcefully risen from last place to 79th place. Even if such a rate of improvement was not unprecedented, it was definitely something that had not happened in the past hundred years.
After all, those who could ascend the Saint Rankings were undoubtedly the most elite of the younger generation in the Central World.
Being able to ascend the Saint Rankings was already a great honor. However, it was definitely not easy to advance on the Saint Rankings. After all, others would definitely not be idle while one was cultivating.
A good-for-nothing would definitely not be able to ascend the Saint Rankings. As a result, it was extremely difficult to advance one's rank on the Saint Rankings.
However, Xiao Chen had actually defeated Hua Wushuang in such a short period of time and ascended to 79th place on the Saint Rankings. How could such a rate of improvement not be shocking?
Some of the Chosens on the Saint Rankings who hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Chen finally began to take this dark horse seriously. After all, such a rate of improvement was indeed worthy of their attention.
In Yun Kunyao's cave dwelling in the Yin and Yang Sect, Yun Kunyao's side branch sat in a bamboo hut beside a lake. Her eyes were slightly closed, and a faint smile hung from the corner of her lips. She naturally knew about the changes on the Saint Rankings. She also knew that Xiao Chen had defeated Hua Wushuang, but Yun Kunyao did not say anything about this. No one knew what she was thinking. On the other hand, Yun Yao's expression was rather ugly. Shock still lingered in her eyes.
Just like Yun Kunyao, there were two people from the Xuanyuan Clan who had noticed the changes on the Saint Rankings as well.
When Xuanyuan Baizhan saw that Xiao Chen had replaced Hua Wushuang, his expression did not change. It was as if defeating Hua Wushuang meant nothing to him.
With just a single glance, Xuanyuan Baizhan looked away. He no longer paid attention to the changes on the Saint Rankings. However, Bai Jin did not think the same.
Bai Jin's face had become extremely gloomy when she saw Xiao Chen's name jump from 93rd to 79th.
Every time Xiao Chen improved, Bai Jin would become extremely furious. This was because she understood that the stronger Xiao Chen was, the slimmer her chances of revenge would be.
Bai Jin had even thought about looking for Xuanyuan Baizhan and getting him to kill Xiao Chen as soon as possible. However, as soon as this thought appeared, Bai Jin mercilessly discarded it. She did not dare to get on Xuanyuan Baizhan's bad side anymore.
Moreover, Hua Wushuang was nothing compared to Xuanyuan Baizhan. Even if Xiao Chen defeated Hua Wushuang, he still posed no threat to Xuanyuan Baizhan.
When she thought up to there, Bai Jin's expression improved slightly. At the same time, she thought to herself with overflowing killing intent, Xiao Chen, the Human Tribe Hero Gathering will definitely be the day you die.
Countless people and countless pairs of eyes were currently focused on Xiao Chen. It was not just Chosen like Xuanyuan Baizhan and Yun Kunyao who were on the Saint Rankings. Even the people from the other four astral realms were paying attention to Xiao Chen.
After such a long time, everyone knew that Xiao Chen came from the North Star Realm. He was also the first person from the four astral realms to make it onto the Saint Rankings. As a result, he naturally attracted the attention of the younger generation from the four astral realms.
In an unknown mountain range, a black-robed young man stared at the sky with blood-red eyes. His eyes were filled with killing intent. If Xiao Chen was present, he would definitely be able to recognise him. He was the former first Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion, Mo Xie.
After arriving in the Central World, there had been no news of Mo Xie at all. He had been cultivating diligently all this time. His goal was revenge.
Mo Xie was not the only one. Tong Huang, Baishi, Sha Mohe, and the other young geniuses of the North Star Realm who had come into contact with Xiao Chen were also paying attention to Xiao Chen. At the same time, their hearts were filled with a strong desire to fight.
Since Xiao Chen had already made it onto the Saint Rankings, they naturally could not fall behind. However, their rate of improvement clearly could not compare to Xiao Chen's. Furthermore, their extraordinary talent in the North Star Realm had become insignificant after coming to the Central World. At the very least, they did not have any advantage.
Xiao Chen did not know about the commotion in the outside world. After three days of recuperation in the Hundred Flowers Manor, Xiao Chen's injuries were no longer serious. The next step was to slowly recover. After all, he had consumed a lot of energy this time, especially his Tempered Battle Body. As a result, it was naturally impossible for Xiao Chen's injuries to recover quickly.
The days passed peacefully and he was not in a hurry to leave. To be honest, Xiao Chen also liked a paradise like the Hundred Flowers Manor very much. However, today, a guest that Xiao Chen did not expect at all took the initiative to visit him.
This person was the Half-step Great Sage elder from the Haotian Alliance who had been here before.
He took the initiative to come to the small courtyard where Xiao Chen was. In the face of a Half-step Great Sage who took the initiative to visit, Xiao Chen naturally had to welcome him personally. Fortunately, although his injuries had not yet healed, his movements were no longer affected.
In the main hall, Xiao Chen, the Half-step Great Sage, sat opposite to Xiao Chen. The Half-step Great Sage first looked at Xiao Chen for a long time, causing Xiao Chen to be full of doubts. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said.
"I'm Hong Ming. I think you should already know my identity. I came here today because I have something to ask you. I hope you can tell me the truth. This is very important to me."
Hong Ming, this name was absolutely well-known in the human territory. There were many elders in the Haotian Alliance, but there were only three Great Elders among the many elders. Hong Ming was one of them. He truly belonged to the real power of the Haotian Alliance, just like Qin Guang's position in the Taiyang Sect of Tianyin.
