As the earth roared, he walked ot the front of the martial arts stone. He first gave Ling Han a murderous look, and then stretched out his hand and pressed towards the martial arts stone.
Weng , the martial arts stone immediately lit up.
Purple light.
However, Jia Ming didn’t withdraw his hand and continued to press. The color that the martial arts stone emitted changed to green.
his meant that Jia Ming’s extreme battle prowess improved, which was very normal. Pressing one’s hand on the tablet, one needed to perform one’s own mystic arts, and after the martial arts stone accepted it and continued to extrapolate, the evaluated extreme battle prowess would then be displayed again.
Therefore, one’s highest battle prowess couldn’t be exceeded, but couldn’t be concealed.
“Hehe, my battle prowess will break the ancients and the contemporaries!” Jia Ming shouted loudly as Qi and blood surged all over his body, forming terrifying pressure. Hong , the people nearby fell onto the ground, unable to withstand the impact.
Ling Han’s expression turned stern. His and Jia Ming’s strengths were originally almost on par. Now that Jia Ming crossed into the Deity Transformation Tier, Ling Han would definitely be inferior except in terms of physical arts.
If Jia Ming’s battle prowess skyrocketed to the Heaven Tier, then Ling Han would really be in trouble.
“It turned red!”
“My goodness!”
Everyone cried out with their hands on their heads. An exceptional genius as expected, making the martial arts stone display a red color and sharing the limelight with Ling Dong’er and Xu Xiu Ran.
“Ah!” Jia Ming roared again, the veins on his forehead popped, and the shadow of a giant snake surfaced behind him, letting out hissing sounds.
Weng , the martial arts stone displayed a black light!
The one hundred names all disappeared, and the stone tablet showed the words: “Leave a name!”
Jia Ming’s strength reached the level comparable to the ancient geniuses, and he could rank in the top hundred!
Chapter 716 - Lighting Up With Each Step
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee
Everyone cried out in surprise. It was too shocking. With so many ancient prodigies, only a hundred people could leave their names, and all of them were geniuses amongst geniuses; taking any one out casually could astonish through the ages, right?
Jia Ming being able to leave his name… he was too strong!
This was something that Dong Ling’er and Xiu Xiu Ran couldn’t do.
Jia Ming smiled proudly and wrote down his name on the stone tablet swiftly and boldly. Instantly, the stone tablet let out a dazzling light again, and the hundred names reappeared. Jia Ming’s name shockingly ranked in the 97th place, while the original hundredth place couldn’t be seen anymore.
The 97th place, higher than the Lunar King by three places… Now, the Lunar King already dropped to the 100th place.
Jia Ming was somewhat astonished, seeming to be somewhat displeased by this record, but he immediately revealed a smile at the corner of his lips and took a few steps back, sweeping Ling Han with his gaze and revealing a contemptuous look.
Having a name on the ranks, what did this mean?
It was to be equals with the strongest historical geniuses—to be a super freak that came once in several tens of millennia!
“Qian Qian!” Jia Ming looked towards Wenren Qian Qian, his expression proud, which meant look at my freakishness, come grovel at my feet now.
Although Wenren Qian Qian was shocked inside, she disliked like Jia Ming’s proud personality even more… geniuses indeed could be proud, but proud to the point of looking at everyone from above… this was repugnant.
She focused her beautiful eyes on Ling Han. This was also a freak who might have a shocking performance.
Zhu Xuan Er, Yuan Cheng He, and the others walked up separately, undergoing the test one by one. Without surprise, although the Li Siblings qualified to enter the Restore Heaven Academy, they didn’t cause the reaction of the martial arts stone.
Only Zhu Xuan Er and Yuan Cheng He succeeded, but they both summoned the purple-colored light, equaling Wenren Qian Qian.
However, this wasn’t a test of their martial arts talent or aptitude, but simply the maximization of the arts they currently grasped, placing them in the same tier for comparison and ranking.
So, one didn’t have to care too much about activating the martial arts stone, since there was still a chance to catch up in the future. Besides, this was a ranking that took martial arts skill and techniques and extrapolated them to the extreme, but even geniuses might not be able to achieve the said extreme.
The rabbit also went for a try. Quite surprisingly, it actually activated a red light, and could rank alongside Xu Xiu Ran and Dong Ling’er.
However, this was not necessarily the rabbit’s full power, and Dong Ling’er and Xu Xiu Ran also might not have operated their strongest martial arts skill. After all, everyone only needed the qualification to enter, and many people weren’t willing to reveal their secrets.
“Ling Han, I’ll let you live a little longer. After you take the test, I’ll kill you then!” Jia Ming laughed loudly, and said, “I’ll show you the gap between you and me and have you die with regret. This is the result of going against me!”
“You can’t fight here, right?” someone whispered.
“Yes, fighting isn’t allowed. That puppet will step in and directly kill those who don’t heed the warning. Earlier, there was someone who suffered,” someone else added.
“Jia Ming came late, so he doesn’t know.”
Although voices of such discussion were small, Jia Ming, with his strength, couldn’t possibly not hear it, immediately revealing an irritated look.
He’d put out big talk yet couldn’t do it—wasn’t this a fierce slap across the face?
Ling Han couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head, walking in large strides to the martial arts stone. He said, “A frog at the bottom of a well. What’s so hard about simply making the ranks?”
“Such high-sounding sentiments, then I’ll wait and see,” Jia Ming said coldly.
Ling Han pressed his hand and used the Desolate Hell Sword, but the martial arts stone didn’t react at all. Apparently, this set of sword techniques extrapolated to the extreme couldn’t quality to receive the martial arts stone’s recognition.
“Ha!” Jia Ming scoffed.
“Hold your horses, such a grown man yet so impatient!” Ling Han sneered.
Jia Ming instantly wanted to kill someone. He’d lived in the wild for a long time, fighting and killing beasts all day; killing people and killing beasts were no different to him. Whatever made him displeased, he would want to kill.
However, when he saw the metal puppet that guarded the premise at the gate, he snorted and suppressed the killing intent within. For now, he couldn’t beat this puppet, carved with extremely complex formation patterns, which were definitely of the Tenth Tier.
“Oh, then you’d better hurry, don’t take the latrine pit and take a sh*t and keep the people behind waiting!” he said insipidly.
“Barbarian!” Ling Han scowled. “No wonder you’ve always been a savage, and I don’t expect that you could be civilized. However, the most important thing is to know oneself, and you clearly have no culture and still shout like a loudspeaker all day, polluting the environment everywhere.”
Pu , many people instantly burst out laughing, but covered their mouths immediately in fear that Jia Ming would hold a grudge. Jia Ming was in the Deity Transformation Tier and definitely an extremely powerful warrior in the Deity Transformation Tier; only Shattering Void Tier and Heaven Tier elites could suppress him.
However, how many elites like this could there be in the world, and how many would dare not give the five great sects face to suppress him?
Jia Ming indeed had the right to run amuck.
Ling Han changed to opera
ting The Three Styles of Black Origin in his consciousness. Weng , the martial arts stone immediately lit up, but it was only the most normal colors, purple light.
This moved Ling Han slightly. This sword technique of the Heaven’s Sword Sect could only make the martial arts stone emit the lowest level light of recognition! This sword technique was extremely remarkable. The last move, breaking limits, needed Sword Heart to actuate, which showed its high level.
But as the martial arts stone saw it, this only passed the first stage of recognition.
“Tsk!” Jia Ming sneered again. He obviously knew that Ling Han’s strength could definitely cause the reaction of the martial arts stone, and even equal Xu Xiu Ran and Ling Dong’er; purple light was not something strange at all.
However, he definitely didn’t think that Ling Han could leave his name on the ranking. This was too difficult, and probably only one person from each generation could rise into the list, and the further in the future, the more difficult it would be because there were already too many geniuses before them.
Wenren Qian Qian and Zhu Xuan Er were more nervous. They obviously hoped that Ling Han could suppress Jia Ming, and with the slight changes in their faces and gazes, Jia Ming’s killing intent flourished even more.
Ling Han also activated the Eye of Truth, and instantly, the light that the martial arts stone emitted changed from purple to green, entering the second level.
“Hiss, this guy’s also a genius, to actually be able to activate green light. No wonder he’s targeted by Jia Ming.”
“You’re excited too easily. Don’t’ you know he’s Restore Heaven Academy’s Ling Han?”
“What, that Heaven Grade alchemist?”
“Who else other than him!”
“What a true monster, attaining such accomplishments in alchemy, and being just as terrifying in martial arts—absolutely inhuman!”
Everyone cried out one after another. This was unimaginable to them, so they obviously thought it strange.
Jia Ming was obviously displeased and gave a loud snort. Instantly, the whispers in the surroundings all disappeared. Now, there really wasn’t anyone who dared to offend him; even the older elites weren’t willing to make an enemy of him.
He was a youngster filled with potential, and would definitely become a Shattering Void Tier elite in the future! Besides, the Earth Dragon Sect stood behind him, and they couldn’t kill him while he was still undeveloped, so they definitely couldn’t offend him.
Chapter 717 - Rank One!
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee
Ling Han smiled and performed the Thunderclap Ninth Heaven in his consciousness. Weng , the light that the martial arts stone emitted immediately changed from green to red.
Seeing this scene, Jia Ming’s expression was somewhat grave. If Ling Han could be a little stronger, he might really be able to leave his name on the martial arts stone.
Ling Han no longer performed the Three Styles of Black Origin, and instead operated the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow. When the three Mystical Powers were used simultaneously, his divine sense turned into a small person and flickered like lightning inside the consciousness, firing out Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow.
It couldn’t be helped. The Three Styles of Black Origin and the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow were conflicting with each other and couldn’t be executed simultaneously. Otherwise, operating ten Heaven Grade sword techniques simultaneously could at least rival Three Styles of Black Origin and other such ultimate moves, right?
Weng , the light that the martial arts stone emitted changed again from red to black. Instantly, the stone tablet’s names all disappeared, and the words reappeared again: leave a name!
This explained that Ling Han’s future battle prowess could surpass past geniuses and squeeze into top hundred.
“I’m about to go crazy!”
“Another genius that could surpass ancient geniuses appeared again, did my eyes go blurry?”
“Such a genius should only appear once in a generation. What’s going on? Two mighty geniuses side by side, would the future be their power struggle?”
“Not necessarily. This is just their extreme battle prowess in the future, and not what’s guaranteed to be achieved. Besides, Xu Xiu Ran and Dong Ling’er definitely held back. They’re definitely no weaker than Jia Ming.”
“That’s right. There’s also Heaven’s Sword Sect’s Small Sword Emperor and Azure Thunder Sect’s Son of Lightning who haven’t come. They’re no weaker, either!”
Everyone spoke one after another, but this didn’t cover Ling Han’s limelight. He was a freak that could contend with the five great sect’s strongest geniuses.
Ling Han casually wrote down his name, and in a short while, the martial arts stone changed. His name rose into the list, while Lunar King’s name was squeezed out of the top hundred.
Rank 78th!
This record moved everyone visibly, and made Jia Ming’s expression pale, but it was also somewhat unacceptable for Ling Han.
Three Mystical Powers executed together actually only ranked 78th?
It wasn’t his lower tier that resulted in low rank—the Mystical Powers were extrapolated to the extreme or compared in the same tier.
In the ancient times, there were still 77 geniuses that were still above him!
Hiss , how many Mystical Powers did these guys grasp?
Ling Han was shocked inside, but his confidence didn’t suffer a hit, because this wasn’t his complete battle prowess, or rather potential. He still hadn’t executed Nine Dragons Tyrant Body Art and Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll, which weren’t conflicting with each other and could be executed together.
Especially the Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll—it was the scripture that the Black Tower passed down!
Whatever, he didn’t have to be number one in history.
Ling Han retreated a few steps, smiled at Jia Ming, and said, “Frog at the bottom of a well, have you gained some knowledge and experience yet?”
78th versus 97th was, of course, an absolute crush.
“Get out the way!” Jia Ming walked over and pressed his right hand on the martial arts stone again. “I didn’t even use my full power earlier!”
What!?
Everyone was greatly shocked and in disbelief—being able to squeeze into the top hundred throughout history actually wasn’t done with his full strength? How freakish was this guy, really!
Was this going to be heaven-defying?
Jia Ming stood still, but his black hair stood on ends, soaring towards the sky as if there was wind blowing from below, each strand of hair fluttering in the wind. A great snake’s shadow appeared behind him again, but it was transforming from a flat and pointed snake head to a circular head as if it’d become… an earthworm!
This wasn’t a normal earthworm. It was as if a divine beast from the beginning of the world, emitting a primitive presence.
The veins on his forehead throbbed constantly, each muscle trembling, and the power of his body was so terrifying as if a light punch could shatter a mountain, overturn a sea, and even strike down the stars in the sky!
Weng , black light reappeared on the martial arts stone, but this time, the words ‘leave a name’ didn’t appear. Instead, Jia Ming’s name improved from 97th to 51th place.
This!
What mystic art did he use to surpass nearly 50 ancient geniuses?
Although it was only around 50 places, how many years and generations of geniuses was that the accumulation of?
What he surpassed was generation after generation!
Everyone felt as if they were on pins and needles. What sort of freak was this? But, seeing the 50 names above Jia Ming was even more terrifying. These names had remained the same throughout the ages, and just how powerful were they at the time?
Even Ling Han somewhat at a loss for words. In other words, when Jia Ming extrapolated the mystic arts he’d grasped to the extreme, he could even surpass three Mystical Powers.
/>
“Hahahaha!” Jia Ming let go, took a few steps back, and looked disdainfully at Ling Han. “Now, who’s the frog at the bottom of the well?”
“Parroted and unoriginal!” Ling Han shook his head. “You think that you’re the only one who held back? Toad, move out the way, this time I’ll make you totally convinced!”
Jia Ming’s body shivered involuntarily—could Ling Han also have held back?
Impossible, impossible! Charging all the way to 78th place, how could he possibly have held back? He was definitely pretending, definitely!
Ling Han reached out with his hand and pressed it on the martial arts stone, operating Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll only!
Hong , black light was immediately emitted from the stone, and Ling Han’s rank skyrocketed.
60, 50, 40, 30, it was so fast that it was like fireworks.
Even Ling Han himself was shocked, because he’d only operated a part of Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll, and not all of it. Moreover, he’d only grasped the first layer of the Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll.
20, 10 , nine, eight, seven… three, two, one!
He went straight to first place, knocking off “First” that was in first place.
Unprecedented, the world’s number one!
“Oh sh*t!”
“Mother f*ck!”
Everyone began to shout obscenities, completely unable to believe it. This was too shocking, directly crushing all geniuses throughout the ages and ranking first. Was it possible that Ling Han would become the most powerful person in the history of the vast lands?
Ling Han didn’t continue to operate the Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll. Since he’d already charged up to number one, there was no meaning in continuing. He retracted his hand with a smile, and said, “Sorry, sorry, I’m usually low-key, and suddenly being high-profile for once, I don’t feel too well.”
Everyone was speechless. No matter how fake it sounded, Ling Han’s potential was plain to see; if he could really push the mystic art he grasped to the extreme, his battle prowess would be the strongest ever.
The eyes of all the women present had lit up. The first in history! Who didn’t want to become the wife of the first in history? Such a title was also full of temptation.
