Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 545 The Ranking is Off

HAHAHA!

Yue Wuxia had never been so thrilled, her expression bright with an indescribable excitement.

She was about to take first place on the Wind Cloud List.

Yes!

Not only that, but she had also suppressed many geniuses, swept through numerous formidable enemies, and become the foremost talent of the young generation. Her name, Yue Wuxia, was destined to become renowned throughout this land.

Thinking of this, she looked towards Chen Pingping, her eyes gleaming with eagerness, the smile on her lips sending shivers down one’s spine.

Chen Pingping had a bad feeling, and his face darkened. "Wuxia?"

"Pingping, there can only be one at the top of the Wind Cloud List, ah..." Yue Wuxia fluttered her eyelids, feigning a troubled expression. "Can you make a little sacrifice for me?"

Although he knew it would come to this, Chen Pingping had never imagined this girl would actually use an Emperor Weapon against him.

She walked over slowly, an Emperor Weapon held in her hand.

Chen Pingping’s face turned green. "You’re going to use an Emperor Weapon?"

COUGH, COUGH!

Yue Wuxia blushed and said, "No! How could I possibly use an Emperor Weapon against you? Absolutely not! Really, Pingping, I love you!"

Chen Pingping exclaimed, "Wait, I still have something I need to do."

He didn’t care about the ranking on the Wind Cloud List; it was all the same to him. He could also do without the rewards, as he had already gained the most. But Chen Shixian was still here. After careful consideration, he decided to let the two women share first place. However, that would take some time...

Daoyan had already departed, completely leaving this world. Chen Pingping was now the sole master of the Wind Cloud List. However, fully mastering the Wind Cloud List, altering the ranking system, and addressing a host of problems like the top-ten rewards were still unresolved.

Seeing his serious demeanor, Yue Wuxia put away her Demon Core and asked, "What’s the matter?"

「...」

Outside the Wind Cloud List.

The young geniuses who had been forcibly ejected by Yue Wuxia watched the Wind Cloud List, gritting their teeth—especially those who had come out later. Although they didn’t speak and their expressions were indifferent, everyone could feel the chill emanating from them.

Too frightening. What exactly had they been through?

A young genius who had been ruthlessly kicked out mumbled quietly, "That little girl was rampaging with an Emperor Weapon."

"???"

The crowd was stunned, then fell silent as if struck by a cold spell. The geniuses eliminated earlier hadn’t experienced anything like it, but for those who came out later, it was an unforgettable, harrowing ordeal!

What great opportunity? What rankings...?

Sound, the Alien Race genius, Dugu Qingfeng, the Great Princes of the Ancient Countries, Cang Yun, and other such supreme talents were all crushed by the Emperor Weapon. There was no room for resistance at all.

Nobody could have imagined Yue Wuxia wielding an Emperor Weapon on the battlefield. Even more unexpectedly, the weapon she held remained active for such a long time. It was truly strange.

Someone else spoke up, "We came out a bit later and witnessed that very scene. The three geniuses from the Ancient City fought with wild, explosive combat power. Yet, in the end, they still couldn’t withstand the Emperor Weapon."

"Fuck, it’s just shameless."

"Damn... I thought we had it rough, but it turns out you guys had it even worse."

"What happened to you all?"

"We were tricked by those two back-stabbers. Every time we found an opportunity, they would jump out, and then... we were sent out."

"..."

"Damn that girl."

"And there’s that other guy..."

"Um... that’s not just ’some guy’; he’s Chen Pingping of the Wuji Sect."

Upon these words, the atmosphere suddenly quieted. This was the one who had conned the entire Fairy Valley and stirred up the Southern Diaspora, inciting public outrage yet leaving everyone helpless against him.

Chen Pingping...

Many who hadn’t witnessed the truth were filled with doubt. Is he really that powerful?

Others shook their heads. "He rarely makes a move."

Is that so? How can someone who rarely acts assert such dominance over the Southern Diaspora? Something doesn’t seem right here.

"There’s a small black dog, Hei, who is very formidable..."

"His junior martial sister is also capable, possessing formidable combat power." As they spoke, they looked towards Zi Ji not far away.

As the conversation continued, the network of relationships around Chen Pingping of the Wuji Sect gradually came to light. He not only had a dog by his side but also other small animals. These included an old yellow bull and the Earth Chicken that had conned over eighty minor factions. And then there was his only disciple, Li Qi.

However, the most impressive figure was still his junior martial sister, Zi Ji. Her cultivation methods were mysterious. She had slain many formidable enemies in the Star Sea, even disregarding those in the Saint Realm. Later, on Spirit Mountain, she confronted Qin Meng, the Demon Emperor’s Son, without yielding an inch.

"This is too terrifying, isn’t it?" A man shivered upon learning the truth. He had been waiting for Chen Pingping and Yue Wuxia to come out so he could call upon his family’s powerhouses to eliminate them. He had never expected Chen Pingping’s faction to be so formidable.

"That’s just what they say, but few have actually seen it..." a man nearby voiced his skepticism. "Anyone can boast, right?"

"True... What isn’t seen with one’s own eyes could be false. Besides, since Chen Pingping entered the list, he has only been following that young Demon Race girl. Who knows if he possesses any real combat power?"

"There’s something about that girl. The Emperor Weapon in her hand looks like..."

"It’s not ’looks like it,’ that *is* the White Emperor’s Demon Core! And if I’m not mistaken, she’s the White Emperor’s daughter."

"..."

The White Emperor was the second Demon Emperor of the Demon Race. He had only one daughter, who always resided in Monster Emperor City and rarely ventured out, so very few had ever seen her. Now that Yue Wuxia appeared holding the Demon Core, it explained everything.

"Look at the rankings..."

Just then, the names on the Wind Cloud List changed.

Ranked first was Chen Shixian.

Seeing this, everyone was astonished. "Who is she?"

The slaughter within the Wind Cloud List had been so fierce, with many geniuses joining the battle, including the three from the Ancient City. But this Chen Shixian... where did she come from?

However, the small number of people who had learned the truth from Zi Ji looked horrified. Zi Ji had told them that Chen Shixian would be first on the Wind Cloud List. They hadn’t believed it back then, but now...

Their mouths agape, they stared at the Wind Cloud List in utter disbelief. Nearby, Lan Qingshui and Shisan were also shocked, while Gu Mang’s expression remained solemn, his thoughts unknown.

"Chen Shixian is actually first? Did she defeat that young Demon Race girl?"

"Who knows!"

"Fuck... that’s terrifying."

"When she comes out, we must get a good look. Who is this sacred personage who could even defeat Yue Wuxia when she was wielding an Emperor Weapon?"

「Elsewhere.」

Liu Changqing and Alan: "..."

It shouldn’t be. How could it be Chen Shixian? Although we didn’t make it onto the list and haven’t seen these geniuses fight, in our minds, Chen Shixian isn’t capable of defeating Chen Pingping. If she took first place, then what about Chen Pingping?

As for the young Demon Race girl wielding an Emperor Weapon, according to the accounts of nearby geniuses, she and Chen Pingping were the most likely to take first place.

Cang Yun smiled. "It seems this Chen Pingping you speak of isn’t so remarkable after all."

The two said nothing.

About a minute later, behind Chen Shixian’s name on the Wind Cloud List, three more characters surprisingly emerged: Yue Wuxia.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

This? They’re tied for first place?

Immediately after, the second line revealed a name: Dugu Qingfeng.

The geniuses’ breaths hitched. Among the many top-tier geniuses on the list, Dugu Qingfeng alone had resisted both Sound and the Alien Race genius. His hour-long burst of power and the combat prowess he displayed had left everyone petrified. At that time, many had believed he was the one who most deserved first place. But no one expected Yue Wuxia to suddenly brandish an Emperor Weapon and go on a killing spree.

Such a pity.

Third place: Sound.

A well-deserved rank.

Fourth place: Candle.

That was the Alien Race genius, his entire being shrouded in suffocating fluctuations.

Fifth place: Cang Yun.

Upon seeing this name, Liu Changqing looked surprised.

Cang Yun smiled. "See? I’m ranked fifth, and your ’formidable’ Chen Pingping hasn’t even appeared yet."

Alan said, "He defeated Sound."

Cang Yun was dismissive. "That was before Sound fully unleashed his power. Sound’s true combat strength is far beyond that."

Is that so? Alan didn’t argue, recalling the battle in the sea, the memory of which was still shocking to this day.

Sixth place: Qin Meng.

Seventh place: Huang Yixiang, the girl from Huangzhou.

Cang Yun glanced over. "Chen Pingping has yet to be ranked."

Eighth place: Gu Luo, the Great Prince of the Ancient Country.

Ninth place: Zhu Menting.

Zhu Menting coughed up blood. My strength is clearly substantial! Why am I only ranked ninth?

Tenth place: Chen Pingping.

Those cultivators who knew Chen Pingping’s true combat prowess all frowned.

It really shouldn’t be... With Chen Pingping’s strength, even if he didn’t take first place on the Wind Cloud List, he couldn’t possibly fall to tenth. He should have been in the top five, at least.

Wen Qingshan’s eyes bulged, so infuriated he felt he might burst. I, a Divine Body, couldn’t even make it onto the list!

As the ranking concluded, beams of light shot out and entered the bodies of the ranked geniuses. These were the rewards from the Wind Cloud List. As for what the rewards were, only the individuals themselves knew.

However, what concerned them most were still the two girls tied for first place. According to past records, geniuses ranked first mostly never returned, truly disappearing from this land.

Will these two girls also vanish?

They waited.
