The wind blew gently. There were no ripples of energy in the air, nor was there any trace of Chen Hao's presence.
However, as soon as Tantai Lian finished speaking, Chen Hao's figure appeared in front of her in a strange manner.
Chen Hao's handsome face had a hint of coldness as he stared at Tantai Lian and asked, "Where are the three of them?" His black and deep eyes were as sharp as swords.
Tantai Lian sensed an oppressive aura that almost suffocated her for no reason. Her expression changed slightly as she said, "Yang Fan and Ni Jianping are also training by themselves … My cultivation base is too weak, so I was originally with Li Yifeng. Then, he entered the ruins, and I was alone … "
Hearing Tantai Lian's words, the coldness on Chen Hao's face slowly faded as he asked, "Then why are you with those five people?"
"It's a coincidence. My cultivation is too weak, so I can only find … Chen Hao, can I follow you?" Tantai Lian's identity as a person of interest allowed her to clearly feel that Chen Hao's presence was much stronger than before he started training. She had found five powerful people to rely on, but now they had mysteriously slipped away. Thus, she could only change her target to Chen Hao.
Also, she faintly felt that the five people's quick escape had something to do with Chen Hao. After all, other than Chen Hao, there was no one else's presence here. Also, the five people only acted strangely when they saw Chen Hao. And now, Chen Hao's tone when he asked about the five people meant that they had met before … Although the quick-witted Tantai Lian did not understand why the five people were so afraid of Chen Hao, she knew that the current Chen Hao had probably exceeded her imagination …
"Sorry. Forgive me for being blunt, but you shouldn't have come here with such an attitude. Those five fellows are all about to die. Don't get involved with them. By the way, let me remind you that climbing up the social ladder and seeking a backer will only make you weaker. Also, if you continue to use your looks as an asset, you will suffer one day. Goodbye! "
Not only did Chen Hao not have any pity for Tantai Lian's pitiful appearance, but his words were sharp and pointed at Tantai Lian's heart. As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give Tantai Lian the chance to speak and transformed into a strand of cool wind that vanished in the heavens and the earth, leaving behind Tantai Lian who was tongue-tied and whose face was flushed red and pale with shock.
Someone who was about to die!
At this moment, Tantai Lian wouldn't be Tantai Lian if she still didn't understand that Chen Hao had a conflict with those five people. It was precisely because she understood that she was even more shocked. Why were the cultivations of those five people so high? One rank seven Martial Great Master, two rank six Martial Great Masters, and two rank five Martial Great Masters. However, when they saw Chen Hao, they were like mice seeing a cat. Furthermore, Chen Hao, who was only a Martial Emperor, said that they were people who were about to die …
… …
Chen Hao's body was as fast as lightning. However, he didn't make any sound. Under the aura of the True Essence of Wind, he had completely merged with the air. Wherever he passed, there would only be a cool breeze blowing. Apart from that, there were no other abnormalities. When he quietly flew past some cultivators, he didn't attract any attention.
… …
"Senior brother, do you think that Leng Yihan has already arrived in this region?"
"It's very possible … otherwise, why would Yu Wuqing and the others be so scared?"
"Oh. That Leng Yihan is truly terrifying. He's only a rank eight Martial Emperor, yet he was unscathed after being chased by so many experts. Furthermore, he killed three rank seven Martial Emperors and dozens of rank five and rank six Martial Emperors … The Sky Tyrant Empire is truly worthy of being the number one empire. I truly don't know how terrifying the other two ranked higher than Leng Yihan are … "
"They are indeed abnormal. Yu Wuqing and the others really overestimated themselves. Since Leng Yihan has already found out that they were the ones who spread the news of him possessing the supreme grade combination of the five elements spiritual weapons, they definitely won't have it easy. I wonder if they can last until the end of the training … "
"Who cares about them? After all, it has nothing to do with us. Although Leng Yihan is powerful, he doesn't kill the innocent. They were all killed because they coveted his treasures … "
"That's enough. Let's not talk too much. Leng Yihan appears and disappears like a ghost. If he hears us … "
… …
As Chen Hao rushed to the edge of the remnant region, he was surprised to see that many groups of cultivators were actually discussing the name Leng Yihan.
This name left a deep impression on Chen Hao. Rank eight Martial Emperor. In the powerful Sky Tyrant Empire, he was ranked third, fourth and fifth. They were all rank six Martial Ancestors. When Chen Hao saw the information that Mu Qing gathered, he was very surprised.
When he saw Leng Yihan's name on the black pagoda monument again, Chen Hao was also surprised. High and mighty, ranked twelfth.
Furthermore, Chen Hao was certain that this person possessed incomparably powerful battle talent. Twelfth was likely not his true rank. Just like Chen Hao himself, ranked six hundred and seventy-third. How was that possible? The pagoda monument's test was only a preliminary test. To most people, it should be more objective. However, to abnormal existences like Chen Hao and Leng Yihan, it was impossible to use the test to estimate their true battle strength …
… …
As more and more information was gathered, Chen Hao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a devilish smile.
"No wonder Yu Wuqing and the others were so afraid when they saw me … Interesting … That Yu Wuqing clearly wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work. Unfortunately, they guessed my identity wrong and made Leng Yihan take the blame … What's interesting is that Leng Yihan actually didn't explain and killed them … If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't explain either, right? It seems that Leng Yihan is also guessing who I am … It doesn't seem that hard to guess … "
The information that Mu Qing gathered appeared in Chen Hao's mind. There were many rank eight Martial Emperors, but not many had the ability to defeat Martial Ancestors. And he happened to be one of them. He was the first person in Xuanwu Empire to obtain the qualifications to enter the Hundred Empire Ranking.
… …
Rumble!
An hour later, the sealing barrier that enveloped the entire historical remains finally reached its limit and directly exploded.
Crash …
Surging seawater immediately squeezed in and filled the barrier in an instant. The cultivators who had been waiting at the edge of the barrier activated their protective auras and charged into the sea, beginning their second charge.
… …
Tantai Lian's forehead shone with light as she tightly pursed her lips. She, who was alone, seemed to have been awakened by Chen Hao's merciless words. Her clear eyes emitted a sense of determination as she charged into the sea.
She had her pride and bottom line. But because she had unexpectedly obtained the qualifications to enter the Hundred Empire Ranking, especially after seeing that she was the last on the black pagoda monument, she had always felt that her strength was too weak and that she shouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the Hundred Empire Ranking. It was this mentality that had blinded her heart and caused her to lose the "heart of an expert." Instead, she wanted to walk the crooked path and rely on her own advantages to find a strong backer and smoothly pass the difficult and dangerous trials …
But Chen Hao's cold and merciless words had awakened her. Was a rank nine Intent Emperor really that weak? Much of the information that Mu Qing provided was about rank nine and rank eight Martial Emperors. She had only been tested a bit early. There were still countless lower ranked empires that hadn't been tested. It was impossible for her to be the last.
She wasn't weak!
… …
"Chen Hao, forty-third …"
When Chen Hao and all the other disciples began their second charge, a huge black pagoda monument strangely appeared in the air above the Endless Sea. It shone with a bright golden light. On the pagoda monument, golden names were moving up and down. Over a hundred experts from various sects were staring at the pagoda monument with bright eyes. When the golden light disappeared and the names were fixed, Dongfang Ting and Xuan Xuan's gazes quickly scanned the names from top to bottom. When they saw Chen Hao's name, the two of them revealed extreme shock at almost the same time.
Forty-third!
How could it be forty-third?
Although the two of them already knew that Chen Hao's ranking would definitely soar, they didn't expect it to soar so high.
In merely the first trial of the Endless Sea, Chen Hao's ranking had soared by over one thousand five hundred!
That's right, it was over one thousand five hundred. The ranking that Chen Hao saw when he was first tested was not the final ranking. That was because there were still countless disciples from various empires that hadn't started their trials. Chen Hao's final ranking was one thousand five hundred and eighty-second. Among the close to four thousand disciples, he was slightly above the middle.
But now, his ranking had directly risen to forty-third, high above everyone else!
At practically the same time, Dongfang Ting and Xuan Xuan thought in their hearts, "Could it be … Chen Hao killed experts?"
The information of the disciples would be transmitted to the black pagoda monument through the mysterious connection between the token and the black pagoda monument. After every trial, the information would be reevaluated. The ranking would be based on the disciples' ranking when they entered the remnant region, the battles they experienced, the number of monstrous beasts they killed, the level of monstrous beasts they killed, the battles between cultivators, and so on.
"That must be it! Otherwise, just by entering the remnant region in tenth place and killing monstrous beasts, he wouldn't be able to rise to such heights … "
Dongfang Ting's eyes were filled with excitement. Even she hadn't expected Chen Hao to be so powerful. At this moment, she no longer harbored any thoughts of pulling Chen Hao into the Star-Picking Sect. With Chen Hao's talent and combat strength, there should be a better place for him to go.
But Xuan Xuan's brows were deeply furrowed, and she even felt very uncomfortable. As a direct descendant of the Xuanwu Empire's imperial family, she was the pride of the entire Xuanwu Empire. She was also the strongest sect among all the genius disciples of the Xuanwu Empire who had entered the cultivation world. She was an idol to anyone who spoke of her. She wanted to pull Chen Hao into the Flying Sword Sect because she admired Chen Hao at the beginning. After Chen Hao entered the Flying Sword Sect, with his talent, he would definitely have a very bright future and would be a great help to her in the future.
But at this moment, Chen Hao's high-profile performance had already begun to slip out of her control … to the point that he didn't even take her words seriously. Not only was it difficult to rope him in, but Chen Hao might also enter an even stronger sect. From then on, her position as the number one sect would be replaced by Chen Hao …
"Yang Fan, Ni Jianping and Li Yifeng's rankings have also risen by quite a bit. Only Tantai Lian's ranking has fallen … That's strange. A grade nine Intent Emperor. Based on her age, there should be a lot of room for her to rise …" Dongfang Ting thought to herself after she found a few familiar names among the densely packed names.
