Chapter 81: The Unknown on the List

In the Jade Virtue Holy Land, rosy clouds ascended, and auspicious energy radiated, with five-colored clouds enveloping the area.

In front of a cliff, a gentle breeze blew.

A man stood there, elegant and refined, with a face like carved jade.

His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, standing against the wind, made him appear like an exiled immortal.

Not far away, a few disciples whispered to each other.

"The aura on the Holy Son has become even more powerful. Even when I'm close, I feel breathless. Has he broken through to the Heavenly Transformation Realm?" a young disciple asked curiously.

"What's the Heavenly Transformation Realm? The Holy Son's talents are unmatched through the ages. He will undoubtedly become an Emperor in the future!" A girl, with peach blossom eyes full of admiration, said loudly.

"Exactly!" Another girl beside her echoed, "The Holy Son is the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Becoming an Emperor in the future is just the beginning. After the Holy Son becomes an Emperor, he will surely suppress all opposition in the world!"

As people discussed fervently, a young disciple quickly flew over.

"Holy Son, the Sect Master sent a message just now, asking you to take a look!"

"Oh?" The Holy Son, who had been still as a mountain, turned around. In that moment, his graceful posture dazzled countless onlookers.

He smiled lightly, not concerned, and asked, "What message did the Sect Master send?"

"It's about the news of the Heavenly Genius Ranking." The young disciple handed over a jade slip, and said, "The Sect Master said that this news is from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, with an authenticity rate of over eighty percent!"

"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion?" The Jade Virtue Holy Son took the jade slip, scanned its contents with his divine sense, and immediately understood the purpose of the Heavenly Genius Ranking.

From the first to the last name, he didn't find his own.

Instantly, his expression turned unsightly.

"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion is just like this!" The Jade Virtue Holy Son casually threw away the jade slip.

As the illustrious Jade Virtue Holy Son, being absent from the Heavenly Genius Ranking made him feel that there was too much uncertainty in this ranking.

It seemed that anyone and everyone could be included.

Beside him, a disciple picked up the jade slip, looked at the content, and also had a grim expression.

He said in a deep voice, "Holy Son, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has gone too far. When has our Jade Virtue Holy Land ever suffered such humiliation?"

"Arrange for me to challenge Yu Qingxian," the Jade Virtue Holy Son said indifferently.

If the Heavenly Secret Pavilion didn't regard Jade Virtue Holy Land highly, then he didn't need to show any face to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

If they wanted to create a Genius Ranking, he would directly defeat their number one and see how they would respond.

"Holy Son, Yu Qingxian is too mysterious. We don't know her identity or where she is," the young disciple said.

"Then it's Ye Chen!" The Jade Virtue Holy Son spoke again.

If he couldn't find the first, finding the second was the same.

Ye Chen had a significant background, being from the Imperial clan.

His strength was surely not weak, and the Holy Son didn't need to win the fight.

As long as it was a draw, he and the second wouldn't be different.

Let's see how the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would respond.

"Holy Son, I'll go and send a challenge letter to the Ye Clan!" The disciple's eyes lit up, running out eagerly.

In his eyes, their Holy Son was synonymous with invincibility since debut.

Unmatched!

Cutting down geniuses along the way, finally stepping into the position of the Holy Son.

Even our Holy Son didn't make it to the ranking.

How can someone like Ye Chen, with no apparent qualifications, occupy the second position?

During the challenge letter delivery in Jade Virtue Holy Land, the news from the Great Wilderness City reached more and more forces in this world.

The expressions of those who received the message varied—some were angry, some delighted, and others were simply astonished.

"Heavenly Genius Ranking?"

Imperial Ye Family.

In a secret chamber, a man sat cross-legged, his gaze icy, thick black hair falling in front and behind him.

His majestic figure exuded a compelling aura, captivating those who beheld him.

He glanced at the content in the jade slip, murmuring, "I never thought I could rank second among geniuses. It's quite interesting. Who is this first-ranked person? In this world, is there a Yu Clan?"

Ye Chen pondered, searching his memory for the elusive figure of a Great Emperor with the surname Yu, but he couldn't find any.

It was possible that this Yu Qingxian was not the heir to the Great Emperor.

"Subordinate is seeking an audience with Young Master!" A voice came from outside.

"Come in." Ye Chen spoke lightly.

"Greetings, Young Master." The person who entered bowed respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Ye Chen raised his head slightly, his gaze filled with oppression, sharp as two swords, making it difficult for people to meet his eyes.

"Jade Virtue Holy Son sent a challenge letter. Does Young Master want to accept the challenge?" The person took out a jade slip, respectfully asking.

"Oh?" Ye Chen's heart moved.

He glanced at the Heavenly Genius Ranking in his hand, recalling for a moment, and then a faint smile passed over his face.

"A nameless person on the list dares to challenge me?"

"Does Young Master want me to refuse on behalf of Young Master?"

"No need." Ye Chen stood up, and his aura erupted like an eternal war god.

His whole body radiated brilliant light, pure and flawless, causing the surrounding void to tremble.

"If he wants a battle, then I shall battle! What do I have to fear?"
