Chapter 337: Consecutive Changes To Earth Board’s Rank 1 (2/2)
Patting the girl’s hand, the noblewoman carried on, ” Listen to master, as women of Tian Chi Manor, we must get married to only the most outstanding of men.”
”No, no…” The young girl at the side began waving her hand as she spoke loudly.
”Qing’Er, what do you mean by that?” The noblewoman gazed upon the girl with a puzzled look.
‘What I’m saying is that the rank 1 person is not Lei hongji, but someone called Rogue Cultivator 2705. The funny thing was that his name was not there for very long before it disappeared. That’s right, before Rogue Cultivator 2705’s name went up, Li Xiuran was rank 1…” The young girl quickly clarified.
After finishing her explanation, she felt that it was not very complete, and added on, ”This means that the position of rank 1 of the Earth Board changed hands four times within a short span on time.”
”What exactly is going on? What did you just say? Qing’Er?” The noblewoman frowned. She liked this disciple the most, but why was the young girl’s words so confusing today? She was on the way to visit Nine Mo City’s castellan, and intended to do some shopping in Nine Mo City. However, Qing’Er wanted to stay in Nine Mo City’s plaza to look at the three boards, so she let Qing’Er go as she pleased. How could Qing’Er be spouting nonsense upon her return?
The beautiful girl at the side also pulled at the young girl’s hand and asked, ”Junior apprentice sister Qing’Er, there’s no rush, explain it to us slowly.”
At this point, Qing’Er had already calmed down, and slowed down her speaking tempo, ”Master, sister Xiyue. When I just arrived, rank 1 on the Earth Board was a guy named Li Xiuran. But not long after, Li Xiuran’s name disappeared, and was replaced by someone named Rogue Cultivator 705. However, around an hour later, Rogue Cultivator 2705’s name disappeared as well, and changed to someone called Wang Er.”
When she reached this point, Qing’Er thought that her master did not know who Wang Er was, and made a clarification, ” Wang Er was previously rank 2 on the Earth Board, he only remained at rank 1 for a short period of time. Within half an incense’s time, his name disappeared too, and was replaced by Lei Hongji’s. Originally, Han Yumu was rank 2, and now she has become rnak 2…”
Finally, both of them understood what Qing’Er meant, and they stared at each other in disbelief.
”Let’s go to Universal Hall quickly.” While this was too weird and coincidental, the noblewoman did not even think that Qing’Er would lie to her.
…
On the Universal Hall Challenge Battlestage, Lei Hongji stood calmly in the centre with a few wounds on his body. Wang Er’s corpse lay at Lei Hongji’s feet, and even though he was not a disciple of Star king Mountain, he had a very intimidating title: Earth Board rank 2.
By then, he had already challenged and killed Earth Board’s rank 2 on the Challenge Battlestage. Even though Wang Er surrendered in the end, he Lei Hongji did not give him a shred of mercy. In his eyes, the strong reign supreme. Anyone that stood in his way would be eliminated without exception.
His next step would be to challenge Li Xiuran. As long as he could reach rank 1, he would immediately start advancing into True God Stage.
The moment that Wang Er was killed, the whole Challenge Battlestage erupted into cheers. At this place, there were only champions, no losers.
”So strong, yet so young, and he’s able to reach rank 2 on Earth Board, only second to Li Xiuran. On top of that he’s also rank 214 on the Universal Board. This guy is probably going to be the next leader of Star King Mountain I’m afraid.”
”That’s not confirmed. If I’m not wrong, the next leader of Star King Mountain should be chosen from the three main clans.”
”Who knows what would be the outcome when Lei Hongji clashes with Li Xiuran?”
”Lei Hongji might be strong, but he’s still not up to Li Xiuran’s standard. You must know that Li Xiuran is the most outstanding person from Star King Mountain in the past century, so I believe that he will not be Li Xiuran’s match.”
As the crowd indulged in their discussion, Lei Hongji slowly descended from the Challenge Battlestage. Regardless of other people’s comments, he was never affected. The only thing he cared about was standing at the peak of whichever cultivation level he was at. One day, Li Xiuran would become another corpse at his feet, and that would convince others much better than any words.
”Earth Board’s rank 1 is Lei Hongji, I just received the news.”
”Indeed, this is as I expected. It seems like Li Xiuran has advanced to the Heaven Realm. What a pity, now we can’t watch the battle between Lei Hongji and Li Xiuran.”
…
Mo Wuji suddenly closed his eyes and withdrew his spiritual will. A wave of wavering spiritual energy condensed at an area around a meter in front of his forehead, forming a spiritual eye. The spiritual eye seemed to look beyond the nothingness of space and time. Even the background of space was captured, albeit only blurrily.
A sense of dizziness began to arise, and Mo Wuji quickly consolidated his thoughts, causing the spiritual eye to disappear
Mo Wuji had nothing to say, Advancing to True God Stage was something to rejoice about, and who knew that the Heaven Calamity Stone, which he carried high hopes for, actually allowed him to learn this extra sacred art.
