Chapter 87: Well Done

"Jade Virtue Holy Son lost!"

Ten miles away from the jade platform, on a hill.

Two young men stood side by side, each exuding a powerful aura.

Every move they made distorted the surrounding space.

"Yeah." The man on the right remained silent for a moment before speaking, "The authenticity of the Heavenly Genius Ranking seems beyond doubt now. Brother Lin, with your strength as the third on the list, what do you think are the odds against Ye Chen?"

"Fifty-fifty!" The man addressed as Brother Lin, named Lin Zhan, the third on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, also from an Imperial Clan, said.

Even if he was slightly inferior, he wouldn't admit it.

After all, the difference was minimal.

"I thought Jade Virtue Holy Son could force out some of Ye Chen's cards. It seems almost impossible now." Lin Zhan said softly.

If, just a moment ago, he scoffed at the identity of the second on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, now things were different.

The Heavenly Genius Ranking was genuine, and each position represented one's strength.

In the future, those who made it to this list would undoubtedly bring great honor to their families.

"This Jade Virtue Holy Son is a bit too weak. How can there be such a huge gap between him and Ye Chen, even though he is a Holy Son of a Holy Land?" The man on the right was somewhat resentful. "With his strength, even if he can't make it to the top one hundred, the top two hundred should be no problem, right?"

"Heh." Lin Zhan shook his head and said lightly, "You're thinking too simplistically. Let alone what rank Jade Virtue Holy Son could achieve on the Heavenly Genius Ranking, even if he reaches one hundred and first place, what difference does it make? You think the gap between him and Ye Chen is just ninety-nine positions? Don't forget, this is just the Human Race Heavenly Genius Ranking!"

"Oh?" The man on the right's face stagnated, asking in confusion, "Brother Lin, are you saying?"

"In this world, there are not only Human Race talents. Just now, you saw the Golden Winged Great Peng. If the Heavenly Secret Pavilion releases a Monster Clan Heavenly Genius Ranking, his ranking will undoubtedly be high."

Lin Zhan paused for a moment and said again, "If a Heavenly Genius Ranking of all races is published, let alone you and me, even it is unknown whether Ye Chen can make it to top 10."

"So, Brother Lin is acknowledging that you can't make it to the top ten of the All Race Heavenly Genius Ranking?" The man on the right sighed.

"Perhaps only the person ranked first on the Heavenly Genius Ranking can have such confidence." Lin Zhan mutterred.

"So what about my fifty-sixth place?" The slight joy that had just risen in the man on the right was immediately shattered.

In the end, in this world, there are too many races.

"Myriad Races" is just a general term.

The actual number of races is unclear.

Perhaps it's not enough to be called myriad races, or maybe it's more than myriad races.

For every race, there is a genius, and the quantity is terrifying.

"Perhaps the Heavenly Secret Pavilion can help us a bit."

"What do you mean, Brother Lin?" The man on the right was puzzled.

Could it be that Brother Lin wanted to bribe the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?

That seems unlikely.

If he can be bribed, wouldn't it be like slapping himself in the face?

"Have you forgotten that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion not only releases the Heavenly Genius Ranking but also sells information? If we can buy a chance…" Lin Zhan paused here. But the man next to him had already understood.

…

On the other side, Radiant Light Holy Son and Tai Chu Holy Son stood in the sky, watching the commotion below.

They sighed at the same time, feeling a sense of self-doubt.

He is truly worthy of being the second on the Heavenly Genius Ranking. Stronger than the two of them.

Looking at the momentum just now, they admitted that even if it were them, they could defeat Jade Virtue Holy Son, but it wouldn't be as simple as one move.

"Ye Chen is only ranked second, yet he's so terrifying. What about the person ranked first?" Tai Chu Holy Son murmured to himself.

"Posture of a Great Emperor!" Radiant Light Holy Son thought for a moment and uttered four words.

In his view, Ye Chen was already like an Emperor.

The person ranked first was almost predetermined to be the Emperor.

"Perhaps." Tai Chu Holy Son neither affirmed nor denied.

He glanced at the void and saw several imposing figures.

He said lightly, "However, the Heavenly Genius Ranking is not immutable."

"Oh?" Radiant Light Holy Son smiled playfully and said, "Could it be that you want to challenge the person above you? If I remember correctly, you are ranked twenty-fourth, and the person ahead of you is Heavenly Mystery Holy Maiden, right?"

Speaking of which, Radiant Light Holy Son's gaze followed, and soon in the crowd, he found Heavenly Mystery Holy Maiden in white.

He chuckled and said, "Heavenly Mystery Holy Maiden is right here. If you miss this chance, next time you'll have to issue a challenge formally."

"It's not impossible." Tai Chu Holy Son smiled mysteriously.

As he spoke, a Radiant Light Holy Land disciple quickly flew to Radiant Light Holy Son.

He held a jade slip in his hand and handed it over, secretly transmitting, "Holy Son, there is news about Feng Nishang!"

"Hmm?" Radiant Light Holy Son's heart moved.

His divine sense extended into the jade slip and explored it. In the jade slip, he first saw an image.

It was the appearance of Feng Nishang, followed by various deeds of Feng Nishang.

After scanning it briefly, Radiant Light Holy Son withdrew his divine sense, tossed out a high-grade spiritual treasure, and praised, "Well done!"

"Thank you, Holy Son!" The disciple took the spiritual treasure, thanked him, and left with a satisfied smile.
