"Skipped me? Why? "asked Lou Lanlin in confusion.
"Why?" Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, "There's no reason. I just happened to challenge someone next to you, so I skipped you."
Lou Lanlin was rendered speechless. She also understood what Su Ping meant. The guy didn't challenge people one by one, but skipped them. That was too arrogant!
"You've only just become a Star Lord. Even if you condense a small world, you can't reach the top ten on the Divine Lord Rank … Isn't that unbelievable?" Lou Lanlin looked at Su Ping suspiciously. She knew what kind of monsters the top ten were; some of them had won the Universe Geniuses' Contest in the past.
They hadn't reached the Ascendant State because they hadn't grasped their own paths.
She found it hard to believe that those champions and runners-up had been defeated by Su Ping, who had just reached the Star State.
After all, they were all geniuses who could defeat Star Lords when they were still in the Star State. It didn't make sense for them to be challenged by someone of a higher level, even though they had accumulated a lot of experience as Star Lords.
"It's alright."
Su Ping didn't find it too unbelievable. After all, he had trained in the cultivation sites and grasped the powerful techniques given by the system. He also knew that the Star Lords on the Divine Lord Rank hadn't reached their limits yet; there was still a lot of room for improvement.
"Cough, cough!"
Lou Lanfeng coughed so hard that his lungs were almost dry. He said, "Don't just talk about cultivation. Princess Lin, it's Mr. Su's first time here. Introduce our family to him and I'll leave him to you. Mr. Su, ask Princess Lin if you have any questions. She'll answer them for you."
Lou Lanlin asked in confusion, "Uncle Feng, are you sick?"
Su Ping asked in surprise, "Can Ascendant State experts get sick?"
The corner of Lou Lanfeng's mouth twitched slightly. He raised his head and looked around. Soon, he saw a young man in the crowd. He immediately waved his hand. "Bones, come here."
It was a young man with a pale face and snow-white hair. His hair color was a little different, and he seemed out of place in the crowd. He frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he still walked over. He also looked at this monstrous young man who had shocked the entire universe a few years ago. He found that this young man seemed a little different from the other contestants he had seen.
"Mr. Su, his name is Bone. He is one of the most outstanding juniors in this generation of the Loulan family. His physique is the top demon physique. Bone Demon, you are all in the same realm. If you have time, you can give him some pointers." Loulan Feng entrusted.
"Bone Demon Battle Body?" Su Ping slightly raised his eyebrows. It was indeed a top demonic constitution, only slightly inferior to the top ten divine constitutions. It was said that it could store all the laws it grasped in the bones, and when the bones were filled with laws, it could unleash unbelievable power. In addition, he could also control the bones of other people. It was a very powerful assassination constitution.
"I can't give him any pointers. I don't even have enough time to cultivate," said Su Ping.
Loulan Feng smiled and said, "Let's leave it to fate. I have other things to do. You can talk later." Then, he returned to his aircraft and left the peak.
The young man named Bone said indifferently after hearing what Su Ping said, "Mr. Feng likes to worry too much. Don't take it to heart. I have to cultivate. Goodbye."
Su Ping nodded.
Loulan Lin, however, stopped Bone and said angrily, "Bone, what are you talking about? Uncle Feng is only doing it for your own good. He must have some unique skills since he made it to the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank. You should learn from him. How did he do it when he's also in the Star State … Huh, speaking of which, how did you do it?"
She suddenly looked at Su Ping curiously.
Nearby, Bone seemed to be helpless. He was obviously used to Princess Lin's carelessness.
"Well …"
Su Ping was stunned by the sudden change of topic and didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say that he punched the guy and everything was over, could he?
"Forget it. That's your secret. Forgive me for asking," said Loulan Lin when she saw Su Ping's hesitation.
Su Ping didn't know what to say.
Bone glanced at Su Ping and said, "A Star State warrior challenging a Divine Lord Rank warrior. If it's true, Supreme God must have given you a lot of power of faith. That's probably the only explanation."
"My master did give me a lot of power of faith," admitted Su Ping with a nod.
Bone seemed to be enlightened. He cupped his hands at Su Ping and said, "I'm going to cultivate."
Although Su Ping was a super genius, Bone wasn't bad either. Also, he didn't need to fawn over anyone when he reached his level. He would have a chance to become a Heavenly Lord after he reached the Ascendant State and be on par with Su Ping.
"Okay."
Su Ping nodded and said to Loulan Lin, "I'm going to cultivate too."
"Okay." Loulan Lin didn't know what to say after Bone left. She said to Su Ping, "Cultivate well then. I'll ask someone to make room for you." She waved her hand as she spoke. The young men in the distance immediately understood and made way for an array core where astral power was surging out.
Su Ping could tell that Loulan Lin and Bone were of high status among those people. That was probably why Loulan Feng had introduced them to him.
Su Ping cleared his mind and went to the array core. He was about to cultivate when he heard a surprised and delighted voice. "Brother Su, you're here too!"
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and saw a man flashing and appearing a few meters away. The bald head belonged to Six Lives Buddha, who had almost won the Universe Geniuses' Contest.
Su Ping didn't expect to see him there. He felt a sense of familiarity that he hadn't seen in a long time. He smiled. "You're here too."
"Yes, the Loulan family invited me. I also heard that you've become their guest, so I thought I'd drop by to see you." Six Lives Buddha looked at Loulan Lin, who was next to Su Ping. There was a hint of understanding in his eyes. He said to Su Ping, "I heard that your master, the Divine King, gave you a very difficult test to leave the Celestial Court if you can match the top ten on the Divine Lord Ranking. Is that true?"
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded. He didn't know that those guys were paying attention to him.
"Have you finished it?" Six Lives Buddha's eyes widened.
Su Ping smiled and said, "It took me years to finish it."
"…"
Six Lives Buddha was lost for words. He said, "It seems that you've made significant progress since the Universe Geniuses' Contest. I thought that the gap between us would be shortened, but it's actually widened."
Su Ping noticed that the man was more mature than he had been a few years ago. He asked, "What about you? Didn't you challenge the Divine Lord Ranking?"
"I did. I managed to make it to the top 80," said Six Lives Buddha with a bitter smile.
In the past, he would have been proud of himself when he was being so humble. But at the moment, he was truly sighing because of Su Ping's blow to his ego.
"That's still not bad," said Su Ping to comfort him.
Six Lives Buddha put on a bitter smile and felt frustrated. Fortunately, they were both growing quickly; the Ascendant State would be their final hurdle once they became Star Lords. That would be the real obstacle that would make the gap between them widen. It meant that he still had a chance to catch up with or even surpass Su Ping before that final hurdle.
"I'm told that Luo Ying is crazy too, and that he's capable of reaching the top ten of the Divine Lord Ranking. I don't know if it's true, but it's probably close to the truth." Six Lives Buddha heaved a sigh. "You two are the weirdest when it comes to monsters. I'm completely convinced."
Su Ping smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We'll fight again when we reach the Ascendant State together."
Six Lives Buddha's eyes glittered. He said excitedly, "Yes, they all say that we'll become Heavenly Lords once we reach the Ascendant State. We'll fight again when we're both Heavenly Lords!"
"You'll have to take me with you if you want to fight," said a gentle but firm female voice at that moment.
Both of them raised their heads, only to see a graceful woman flying close. She was none other than Lilian, who had performed well in the contest.
She was followed by an arrogant young man, who was none other than Dragon Shepard.
Dragon Shepard had also heard about Su Ping. He wore a complicated expression when he saw Su Ping, as he had failed miserably in the contest; he didn't even have a chance to fight Su Ping. He wasn't familiar with Su Ping, the champion, but he was still quite upset to see that the former champion was already on par with the geniuses on the Divine Lord Ranking.
The gap between them seemed to be widening.
He had always been the one who left the others far behind, but he was now experiencing what it felt like to be left behind.
"Not bad." Six Lives Buddha burst into laughter.
Su Ping smiled too. They had been rivals in the past, and now they were reunited; it felt like a reunion of old friends.
"It's a shame that Luo Ying is cultivating in seclusion, or I'd really like to see which of you is stronger!" Six Lives Buddha looked at Su Ping with fighting will flashing in his eyes.
"Luo Ying isn't simple, either. I heard that he was favored by a Celestial and became their disciple," said Dragon Shepard in a low voice as he looked at Su Ping.
He had become much more arrogant after his failure in the contest; he was willing to befriend a genius like Su Ping for the sake of his family and his future.
Su Ping smiled but didn't say anything.
"It seems that the champion and runner-up of the last contest are quite impressive." Lou Lanlin glanced at Six Lives Buddha after hearing their conversation and said, "I heard that you're good at the path of time and space. What do you think? Do you want to spar with me? I'll hold back."
Six Lives Buddha was stunned. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Princess Lin, you're one of the top thirty on the Divine Lord Ranking. Sparring with me is no challenge at all."
"It's just a game. Why are you panicking?" said Lou Lanlin angrily.
Six Lives Buddha smiled bitterly. "It's a game for you, but it's a beating for me."
Lou Lanlin rolled her eyes at him and then looked at Su Ping. She remembered Lou Lanfeng's words and held back. As a matter of fact, she really wanted to spar with Su Ping, but she held back because of the gap between them.
"A Star State warrior who's as strong as a top ten on the Divine Lord Ranking? Is there really such a monster?"
"Tsk, tsk. He admitted it himself. It can't be a lie."
"Indeed. He's a Celestial's disciple after all. He wouldn't lie for such a trivial matter."
The other members of the Lou Lanlin family also looked at them in shock. It was beyond their knowledge, just like how Su Ping had created a small world when he was only in the Fate State. He had created another miracle.
"Are you the contestants from the last Genius Battle?"
At this moment, an indifferent and chilly voice resounded, and it was like a cold stream of early winter, causing the surrounding air to become clear and icy cold.
Everybody turned around, only to see three people approaching. Their auras were concealed, but they seemed to be the center of the world as they walked, absorbing all the energy in the surrounding area.
"It's Ye Ling!"
"Did the family invite him? He's so strong!"
"Ye Ling?"
"Yes, he's the champion of the previous contests. He was the best in the universe back then! He's already a Star Lord, and he made it to the top ten of the Divine Lord Ranking as soon as he became a Star Lord. He's currently ranked third! "
"Ye Ling, the third on the Divine Lord Ranking? Is that him?"
Everybody exclaimed; the geniuses of the Lou Lanlin family were shocked. Although they were all geniuses in their family, they were nothing compared to the super genius who was ranked third on the Divine Lord Ranking.
After all, he was ranked third in the entire star zone!
He was one of the top Star Lords in the entire universe!
It meant that nobody except those above the Ascendant State could kill them!
"I heard that there's a genius who condensed a small world while still in the Fate State. Is that you?" Ye Ling, who was wearing a purple robe, looked rather noble. He immediately looked at Su Ping.
He had sensed that Su Ping was giving off a weird vibe. The energy waves inside his body were enough to make him feel uncanny pressure.
As a result, he was quite interested in the genius of the Genius Battle.
Su Ping heard the whispers and learned the young man's identity. He nodded and said, "Nice to meet you."
"I just heard that you can challenge the top ten of the Divine Lord Ranking when you're only in the Star State?" Ye Ling looked at Su Ping with great interest and asked, "Are you interested in exchanging a few moves with me?"
Wow!
There was an uproar. The members of the Lou Lanlin family were shocked, not expecting that Ye Ling would be willing to fight Su Ping.
Su Ping was surprised. He looked at him and shook his head. "Forget it."
"Forget it?" Ye Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Su Ping would refuse an invitation to fight in public. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry. I won't use my full strength. How about this? Let's see how you can challenge the top ten of the Divine Lord Ranking with one hand."
Silence reigned.
Everybody looked at Su Ping. There was no arrogance or mockery on Ye Ling's face when he said that. However, his casual tone suggested that he was confident and condescending. It wasn't because he was targeting Su Ping, but because he had been a top genius for a long time. However, Su Ping was also a top genius. Nobody would be able to accept such a statement.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Su is a guest of the Lou Lanlin family. You're a Star Lord and a former champion, while Mr. Su has only recently advanced to the Star State. Isn't it unfair for you to compete with him?" Lou Lanlin suddenly spoke up and frowned at Ye Ling.
Skeleton, who had turned around and left earlier, observed in silence.
