The ranking list unfurled.
Fahai’s name, as expected, appeared on it!
Fahai!
Tenth on the heavenly pride ranking!
Tianji Old Man’s commentary: Within thirty years, he can reach the Heavenly Human Realm!
“This…!”
“He really made it onto the list!”
“Although he’s the last one, tenth, he’s still a figure on the heavenly pride ranking!”
“This is only his first time on the list, and he’s only fifteen this year, still five years from twenty.”
“He even has a chance to rush to the top of the list!”
“What kind of peerless Genius is this!”
“Others are on the heavenly pride ranking at fifteen, while I was still practicing sword in the mountains at fifteen; how can the gap be so huge?”
“It’s even further than the difference between a human and a dog!”
In front of Tianji Tower, the crowd was in an uproar, all frozen in place, staring at the golden-glowing list, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had actually guessed that Fahai would be selected.
This was not a surprise.
What truly shocked everyone was Tianji Old Man’s commentary on him—within thirty years, he can become a Heavenly Human Realm expert!
Tianji Old Man actually predicted that Fahai would definitely enter the Heavenly Human Realm in thirty years?!
A Heavenly Human Realm expert in his early forties, who could imagine?
Just thinking about it made people’s blood boil!
To be able to step into the legendary Heavenly Human Realm in thirty years, such Aptitude is simply prodigious!
Other Geniuses on the heavenly pride ranking don’t seem to have received such high praise, do they?
Every person on the list would receive a comment personally written by Tianji Old Man.
Except for one person, Nangong Pu She, who ranked first, the evaluations of the others were largely similar, nothing more than extraordinary Aptitude and the like.
Although Tianji Old Man had said that all those on the list had the potential to enter the Heavenly Human Realm, that was only a “possibility.”
One must know that the Heavenly Human Realm is beyond what ordinary mortals can achieve.
To move rivers with a wave of a hand, to break mountains with a step, these are already rare powerhouses in the world.
Second only to Land Immortals, rarely seen.
Even the experts on the innate ranking are only “hopeful” of reaching the Heavenly Human Realm.
Regarding their future, Tianji Old Man had never been so certain.
But this time, when it came to Fahai, it was different!
Tianji Old Man personally wrote: Within thirty years, he can become a Heavenly Human Realm expert!
Hiss—
The time has come, awaiting his might to descend upon the world!
A peerless Genius, whom Tianji Old Man predicted would definitely step into the Heavenly Human Realm within thirty years, has appeared!
The Jianghu will no longer be peaceful!
In the distance, Xu Fengnian also saw the list clearly and turned to look at Old Huang.
“Old Huang, is this Fahai really that strong?”
He was quite surprised.
One must know that his own younger brother, born with a Vajra body and possessing the strength of a Dragon and Elephant, had never received such high praise.
And this Little Monk, who was on the heavenly pride ranking for the first time, actually received such high praise from Tianji Old Man?
A Heavenly Human Realm expert for sure!
Is this Little Monk really that formidable?
Old Huang smiled and scratched his head: “Young Master, Old Huang doesn’t know either.”
“Perhaps this Little Monk is the second Wang Xianzhi.”
“This Jianghu, I’m afraid it’s going to get lively.”
The second Wang Xianzhi…
Sometimes, a name alone represents everything.
“Number Two Under Heaven” Wang Xianzhi, who was invincible in the world for sixty years, once made the entire Martial Forest submit to him.
“Jianghu shaken?” Xu Fengnian smiled slightly, “That’s more interesting.”
News of the two updated lists quickly spread.
Countless carrier pigeons flapped their wings and soared high, departing from Tianji Tower, heading in all directions, spreading the news of the changes to the Earth Ranking and heavenly pride ranking throughout the Jianghu.
Soon, the news of Fahai ascending to the fiftieth place on the Earth Ranking and tenth on the heavenly pride ranking resounded everywhere.
Immediately, the entire Jianghu boiled over!
“heavenly pride ranking!”
“That’s the heavenly pride ranking that surpasses his peers!”
“Fahai’s Aptitude is actually so astonishing that he even made it onto the heavenly pride ranking!”
“To be ranked tenth on the heavenly pride ranking at fifteen, what’s even more shocking is Tianji Old Man’s commentary on him!”
“Within thirty years, he can enter the Heavenly Human Realm!”
“A powerhouse destined to become a Heavenly Human Realm expert, with boundless prospects!”
“But this is not the most shocking part.
Although Fahai is extraordinarily gifted, no matter how strong he is, he must survive to grow.”
“Don’t forget, he has made many enemies.”
“Think about it, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and Wudang have both issued demon-slaying orders.”
“The stronger Fahai becomes, the less they will let him be.”
“And there’s Yihua Palace; their painstakingly cultivated Hua Wuque was squeezed off the list, how can Yihua Palace be willing?”
“The two Palace Mistresses, Yaoyue and Lianxing, have probably already started planning to deal with Fahai.”
“It seems Fahai’s days are not peaceful.”
“Although he is expected to reach the Heavenly Human Realm in thirty years, he must first survive.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone agreed.
Indeed!
Hua Wuque, whom Yihua Palace had invested countless resources to Cultivate, has now been replaced by Fahai; how could they let it go?
And Wudang and the Five Mountains Sword Sect had long since formed a grudge with Fahai, and would never allow such a Prodigy to grow smoothly.
If he were truly allowed to endure these thirty years and step into the Heavenly Human Realm, it would be a great disaster for them.
With Zhang Sanfeng overseeing Wudang, they might still be able to resist, but the Five Mountains Sword Sect could face annihilation.
Facing such a Genius, they either bow down or eliminate him.
These powerful Schools, how could they possibly bow down and show weakness?
Moreover, although Fahai is strong, he is currently only in the Early Stage of the Grandmaster Realm, and he is alone, with no strong backing.
A Prodigy who has not yet grown up is not a true Prodigy!
In the tavern, a person in white sat alone at a table, wearing a bamboo hat with a light veil hanging down, covering her face that could stun the world.
She was the peerless Genius who topped both lists—Nangong Pu She.
Listening to the discussions around her, her heart trembled slightly.
He improved too quickly.
The first time she saw Fahai, he was only in the Innate Realm.
Now, he is already a Grandmaster, and has even defeated Song Yuanqiao, his strength is astonishing!
He even made it onto the heavenly pride ranking!
How long has it been?
For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Fahai had once said:
One day, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
It turns out he was serious.
For that promise, he Cultivated desperately, not hesitating to offend many powerful enemies, making rapid progress all the way.
At that moment, Nangong’s heartbeat lost its rhythm.
She was moved.
No one had ever gone to such lengths for a promise.
Her heart, frozen by hatred, quietly rippled.
As soon as she thought of the person who called himself her father, Nangong felt a deep sense of disgust.
She had long hated that man to the bone.
Comparing the two, her mood became even more volatile.
The men she had come into contact with were few and far between.
In her life, the two most important men were her nominal father, and the other was Fahai.
As the comparison became clearer, her feelings for Fahai quietly grew stronger.
She heard that Wudang and the Five Mountains Sword Sect were going to encircle and suppress Fahai.
Nangong frowned slightly, her expression a little displeased.
The Five Mountains Sword Sect was not to be feared.
But Wudang has Zhang Sanfeng, who is a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, and cannot be taken lightly.
She took out the golden alms bowl Fahai had given her, her gaze fixed upon it.
The words “use it in times of crisis” appeared in her mind.
She suddenly smiled, a beauty that could topple cities and kingdoms, yet no one saw it.
Putting away the golden alms bowl, she stood up and walked out of the tavern.
Her destination was Wudang Mountain.
