"Indeed, the Space power Upanishad is ten times more complicated than I had imagined." If the Void Shattering Finger Art could only simulate the power of space at fifty percent, then after fifty percent, it would be able to absorb the power of space, which was everywhere. However, Ye Chen could feel that even with seventy percent of the Void Shattering Finger Art, it would still only be able to make use of the space profound. In the end, it would only be using the power of space, and would never be able to enter the palace of space. It was just like having a house; you could only use the materials of the house, but it did not mean that you understood the structure of the house. There would be a huge gap between the two, which was the difference between a layman and an expert.
Even though he had comprehended the Void Shattering Finger to seventy percent, he was still an amateur. It was not hard to imagine how powerful and difficult it was to comprehend the Profound of Space.
"Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger should be around eighty percent, definitely not more than ninety percent. Right now, I am still not able to compete with him. But of course, there is still a gap. But for now, the power of my Gold Pattern is not weaker than the seventy percent Void Shattering Finger. Combined with the destruction sword intent, it is even more powerful than the eighty percent Void Shattering Finger."
When the Void Shattering Finger was trained to fifty percent, the Gold Resonant Radiance at one hundred and thirty percent had already surpassed the Void Shattering Finger. Then, the Gold Resonant Radiance had reached one hundred and thirty percent, and its power had increased drastically. Even if it could not reach sixty percent, it would not be much weaker than the Void Shattering Finger.
Once Ye Chen had figured out his new sword movement, the gold pattern, it had become his most powerful ace attack. In terms of power, the gold pattern was twice as powerful as his one hundred and thirty percent Gold Resonant Radiance Sword Art. Combined with the destruction sword intent, the eighty percent power of his Void Shattering Finger Art would not be exaggerating at all. Therefore, under the same cultivation level, Ye Chen's most powerful attacking power would not be any weaker than Xia Houzun's.
Of course, the time that was given to Ye Chen was still a bit short. As long as Ye Chen perfected his gold pattern, it would not be impossible for him to compete with the top five young warriors with his peak level Mid Seas of Souls Realm cultivation.
Therefore, at the end of the day, time was still too short. It was the same for Dugu Jue.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen withdrew from the state of comprehension.
"Ye Chen, have you comprehended it?" Murong Qingcheng knew that Ye Chen was cultivating the Void Shattering Finger.
Ye Chen nodded. "This trip wasn't in vain."
"Hehe, congratulations."
Actually, Yan Fengfeng and Hai Wuya had also vaguely known that the finger art Ye Chen had used had something to do with Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger Art. They were just not sure about it, and did not want to point it out.
Looking at Jiulong Lake, Ye Chen asked, "Who won?"
Murong Qingcheng shook her head and said, "I am not sure. Bai Wuxue and Xia Houzun were both wounded quite badly, but Bai Wuxue had the upper hand."
"Yes! I can tell. "
In Ye Chen's sight, Bai Wuxue's face was extremely pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. Meanwhile, Xia Houzun was looking even worse. The clothes on his chest had been ripped apart, revealing the defensive armor underneath. His face was covered in a layer of gold, and there was blood coming out of all of his orifices. His wounds were obviously more severe than Bai Wuxue's.
The question was, did Xia Houzun still have the power to fight?
One had to know that at their level, it was possible for them to turn the tables at any time.
Cough cough cough!
Puking out another couple of mouthfuls of blood, Xia Houzun's expression changed a couple of times. Eventually, he said slowly, "Shield of Life, Spear of Life … I did not expect you to have already studied the profound of life to this level, able to attack and defend."
Bai Wuxue said indifferently, "Likewise. Your Astral Core Finger nearly defeated me."
"Yes, I should hold on a little longer." Xia Houzun was a bit regretful. If he had held on, then Bai Wuxue would not have been able to perform that life spear attack with his remaining Zhen yuan. But, it was such a critical situation. Plus, he more or less had the thought of giving Bai Wuxue a taste of his own medicine, which had ended up costing him the battle. But, he could still vaguely feel that even if he had held on and performed his Star Nuclear Finger Attack to drain his opponent's Zhen yuan, he might not have been able to win.
His only mistake was letting down his guard slightly, allowing his opponent to hit him with the Spear of Life.
In a battle between powerful warriors, the slightest mistake could decide the outcome.
The conversation between the two was heard by the crowd, and only then did they realize that Bai Wuxue had won. But, what made them curious was that since Xia Houzun could still talk normally, he should still have the power to fight. So, why did he not give it his all?
But, what they did not know was that the reason Xia Houzun could still talk normally was not because of his wounds. In fact, those few sentences had already made him unable to suppress the hidden wounds in his body anymore. All of his organs were showing signs of being shattered. Bai Wuxue's last spear attack was unbelievably powerful, and it was not that much weaker than the Void Shattering Finger Art.
"It seems like Bai Wuxue has won. But, Xia Houzun is not weak either. If they were to fight again, he might not lose."
"Yeah, Xia Houzun's Finger Painting Art is indeed powerful. Unfortunately, he was a bit careless and did not manage to block out that life spear in time."
"You cannot blame Xia Houzun either. In that kind of situation, anyone would have been careless. I can only say that Bai Wuxue is too powerful."
The onlookers discussed animatedly, their emotions surging.
"Haha! Bai Wuxue, Xia Houzun! You are indeed powerful enough to be in the top of the ranking. "
Right then, on a tall mountain not far away from the Nine Dragon Lake, a bulky elder laughed out loud and said something that shocked everyone.
"Ranking? What is that? "
"I have never heard of it before. Is there really such a ranking in the dark?"
"That is not possible, right? What kind of ranking is there that we do not even know about? Let's ask him. "
"Hey, what is this ranking?"
Someone asked.
The elder said with a loud voice, "I am Gao Changtian, the master of the pavilion. This ranking did not exist before. So, it is normal that you guys do not know about it."
"Oh? Is your pavilion trying to compile a ranking?"
Gao Changtian scanned around with an excited look on his face as he said slowly, "As everyone knows, it is hard to reach the Life and Death Realm. There would only be around ten in a hundred years, and no more than twenty. Sometimes, there would only be seven or eight. But, there are so many Sea of Souls Realm warriors in the world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there are so many of them. But, unless you become a Life and Death Realm warrior, once you die, people will forget about your existence in just a few decades.
How sad and cruel would that be? "Clearing his throat, Gao Changtian continued to say," Although our pavilion has not been around for that long, it still has eight hundred years of history. In the early days of the pavilion's development, the leader of the building and a lot of the dead masters had talked about compiling the ranking. But, the true spirit continent was way too big, way too big to imagine. With the power of the pavilion back then, it would be impossible for us to finish it. Even if we did, there would not be a lot of people who would believe and acknowledge it. "
"After eight hundred years, we have finally reached our peak. We have branches in all the top ten cities in the world. In each city, we have a large or mid-sized base for collecting information. There are also small bases in the normal towns. Therefore, although the continent is huge, we believe that we can finish the task of compiling the ranking. We swear that we will put all of the top Sea of Souls Realm warriors into the ranking. So, after decades or centuries, there will still be people who will remember them and remember their glorious stories."
Gasp!
Hearing him, everyone gasped, including Xie Baiting, Bai Wuxue, and the rest.
Putting all of the top Sea of Souls Realm warriors into the ranking would be extremely difficult, since there were a lot of them who had been hiding in the dark or had retired from the world. Besides them, since they were going to compile the ranking, there would have to be a ranking, which would be even harder than finding all of the hidden master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors. It would be impossible to have a master level competition and have all of the master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors participate in the competition. It would not be realistic at all. Therefore, in order to compile the ranking, one would have to carefully observe some of the top Sea of Souls Realm master level warriors and figure out their specific power levels. It would be a lot of work.
Of course, only the pavilion would have the right to compile the ranking, since it was the recognized number one information organization in the world.
"How many people are in the ranking?"
Some of the master level warriors who thought that they had some power could breathe faster. They could already see the future of the ranking. Without any surprises, once the ranking was released, it would definitely shock the whole world. Being able to be in the ranking would be a symbol of power and fame. Although they were quite famous before, there would always be some people who did not want to admit their power.
Gao Changtian said, "The ranking is more about quality than quantity. Therefore, there would only be seventy-two spots in total, and it would be changed once a year. Then, we will write a book for the ranking, which you can buy in every city. Even if you have never been in the martial world before, even if you are not a warrior, as long as you buy a book, you will know who the top master level warriors are in the world."
"Such a big plan!" Ye Chen could not help but take a deep breath. He did not expect that the information from the pavilion would be this powerful. He did not think that the pavilion had overestimated itself. Otherwise, they would not have waited until eight hundred years before starting to compile the master level warrior ranking, waiting until now.
"Once the ranking is out, it will also ignite the passion of the master level warriors!"
Murong Qingcheng said.
Ye Chen nodded, "That is for sure. Once the ranking is recognized, it will become the wind vane. If you are not in it, then no one will acknowledge you. Therefore, some of the people who are planning to protect themselves and not accept challenges will not be able to stay quiet like before, unless they do not care about their reputation. After all, you have not fought for dozens of years, so who knows how powerful you really are? The pavilion will not be able to do something that only the gods can do, so they can only try to be fair."
Someone suddenly asked, "Master Gao, you just said that Bai Wuxue and Xia Houzun have the right to be in the top of the ranking. I wonder, according to your information, what rank would they be?"
Hearing him, a lot of people had a curious look flashing through their eyes. They all said that the top five young warriors were very powerful, and there were not many people who could surpass them. But if there was a clear ranking, then it would be more intuitive.
Gao Changtian said, "I am not sure about that right now, because the ranking will be compiled on the tenth of October. Although we have collected a lot of information, it is not perfect yet. But, judging from the information we have, Bai Wuxue and Xia Houzun would both be in the top fifteen, maybe even higher. Anyway, on the tenth of October, the first ranking will be released. By then, you all will know who the seventy-two warriors will be."
"The tenth of October … There is still less than a month!"
"This Gao Changtian must be here to collect information. If I had known earlier, I would have shown some of my power as well. Perhaps he would have noticed me and listed me as one of the candidates."
"Since the pavilion is going to compile the ranking, then they must have planned it beforehand. As long as they have made a move in the recent years, they would have collected all of it. But of course, it would be better for me to show some of my power now, since I am definitely more powerful than before."
Looking over at Xie Baiting, Gao Changtian laughed, "Xie Baiting, your power is recognized by everyone in the martial world. We, the pavilion, have already listed you as one of the top five candidates. Without any surprises, you will definitely be in the top five." As he spoke, he looked over at Ye Chen, "The no.1 warrior under the top five young warriors, Ye Chen … You might be able to make it into the ranking as well. You have a great chance."
Xie Baiting and Ye Chen smiled lightly and did not say anything. But, they were very curious about the ranking as well. Once the tenth of October arrived, they would definitely buy a copy of the ranking to see who the seventy-two warriors were, and see if they could match their own opinions.
