Back at his residence.
Fang Huxiao sat in the main hall with a gloomy face. His eyes flickered. Even though he was furious, he had to be cautious at this moment.
He was young and ruthless, but he was not stupid. To be able to achieve this at the age of sixteen, Fang Huxiao was definitely not an ordinary person.
If someone were to carefully summarize Fang Huxiao's actions over the years, they would be able to see that Fang Huxiao's arrogance and ruthlessness were all built on a certain foundation. In other words … all the things he was arrogant about were built on a level that he could control.
But today's incident made Fang Huxiao feel like he had kicked an iron plate. He still found it hard to imagine how an ordinary disciple could have such terrifying strength and kill Duan Hongtu …
But after thinking about Qin Yu's performance in the Dao Seeking Meeting and recalling how calm and composed Qin Yu was when he faced Yuan Daoling, he felt that Qin Yu was not as simple as he seemed.
"Peak of the Dao Knocking realm, killed Duan Hongtu … Ordinary disciple, received by Meng Ao … Where did this person come from?"
Fang Huxiao's breathing quickened. It was not because of shock, but because he had to suppress the anger in his heart. Fang Huxiao had never felt so aggrieved.
But Fang Huxiao was already very terrifying to be able to do this. He was young, but he could still remain calm in the face of such a situation. This showed that his state of mind was extraordinary. If he was given time, he would definitely achieve great things in the future!
While Fang Huxiao was deep in thought, a young disciple walked up and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Fang, should we inform your elder brother?"
The muscles on Fang Huxiao's face twitched. He turned his hand and slapped the disciple, sending him flying. He said sternly, "Inform?
How can I have the face to inform my elder brother?
Do you want my elder brother to step in when I, Fang Huxiao, am bullied?
What will others think of me, Fang Huxiao, in the future? "
Fang Huxiao's elder brother, Fang Longyin, was the tenth generation sequence disciple of the Yin Yang Lineage. His strength was at the peak of the tenth generation disciples. Fang Huxiao had been living under the shadow of Fang Longyin's fame all these years. The reason why he was so domineering had a lot to do with his elder brother.
"Let's go to Senior Brother Meng and find out who that brat is. If he's lying to me, I'll make him wish he was dead!!"
Fang Huxiao struggled for a long time. Then, he smashed the tea table with his palm. He stood up with a "bang" and disappeared.
Three days later.
Qin Yu came out of the house. After he had raised his condition to the peak for the past three days, he could not wait to leave the house. His main goal now was to squeeze into the top 100 of the Power Rankings. Only then would he be qualified to observe the Inheritance Stone Pillar!
There was a mountain range in the east of the Yin Yang Life and Death Sect. This mountain range was called the Battle Peak. Apart from being much bigger than the Battle Tower of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect, the rest was similar to the Battle Tower. Moreover, disciples only needed to pay the corresponding contribution points to watch the battles of the experts on the Power Rankings.
Because of this, the Battle Peak had become the most lively mountain range among the tenth generation disciples. Almost every day, there would be thousands of disciples going to the Battle Peak. Some were paying attention to the Power Rankings to motivate themselves while others were here to watch the battles.
When Qin Yu arrived at the Battle Peak, the area below the Battle Peak was packed with people. There was a plaza at the foot of one of the mountain peaks. There were close to three thousand disciples gathered here.
"The Power Rankings are about to change. This means that the top 100 disciples will be qualified to observe the Inheritance Stone Pillar … Sigh … How good would it be if I can enter the top 100?"
"Which of the top 100 disciples isn't a top genius?
How hard would it be to squeeze in? "
"If we can't do it this time, we'll just have to wait for the next time. After all, the Power Rankings change once every hundred years. This means that we still have a chance!"
"It's a pity that the Power Rankings are against the nine branches of the Yin Yang Life and Death Sect. Otherwise … if it was only against the Life and Death Sect, there would still be hope to squeeze into the top 100. But against the nine branches … there is no hope at all."
"Don't look at the Power Rankings now. Until the last half of the year, we will never know how many hidden geniuses there are in the sect!"
"That's right. The last half of the year is the best time to rush up the Power Rankings. There will be many monstrous geniuses. That will be the time when the strongest disciple of the tenth generation will be born!"
The Power Rankings were not only against the Life and Death Sect, but against the entire Yin Yang Life and Death Sect's disciples … This was also the reason why some people in the Dao Seeking Convention believed that Qin Yu would not even be able to enter the top 1000!
Listening to everyone's discussion, Qin Yu's face did not look good. He had always thought that the Power Rankings were against the Life and Death Sect, but he did not expect that it would be against the nine branches of the Yin Yang Life and Death Sect … This meant that the difficulty of squeezing into the top 100 would be infinitely increased.
"I don't know how long the Life and Death Secret Realm will last, but I definitely can't wait until the next Power Rankings change. Therefore … this is my only chance. Unfortunately … three years … no … if I don't count the last half of the year, I only have two and a half years left. Two and a half years … is too short!" Qin Yu murmured in his heart.
If Qin Yu had ten years, perhaps Qin Yu would have a better chance. But two and a half years … was too short.
Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yu glanced over the dense crowd of young disciples. Finally, his eyes landed on a huge light wall in the front.
There were densely packed names on the light curtain wall. They were the rankings of the War Rankings.
Qin Yu's expression was calm as he looked down from the first name.
"First place: Luo Wudao!"
"Second place: Qin Guan Cheng!"
"Fifth place: Meng Ao!"
"He's only ranked fifth on the Leaderboard?"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows. He had heard from Wu Yue that Meng Ao was the last disciple of the leader of the Life and Death Martial School, and was ranked first among the ten Sequence Sons. However, he didn't expect that Meng Ao was only fifth!
When Qin Yu first met Meng Ao, he could sense the latter's horrifying aura, which was much more powerful than Meng Ao's. However, he didn't expect that Meng Ao would only be fifth on the Power Rankings.
"I wonder where the first place Luo Wudao and the second place Qin Guan Cheng are from." Qin Yu murmured in his heart as he looked down.
What surprised Qin Yu was that he didn't see Duan Hongtu in the top three hundred.
"Could it be that Duan Hongtu's name was erased from the Power Rankings because he died?" Qin Yu guessed and thought that it should be so. After pondering for a while, he continued looking down.
When he reached the nine hundredth place, Qin Yu's facial muscles twitched.
"928th place: Duan Hongtu!"
Looking at these words, Qin Yu couldn't sit still. How could it be? How could Duan Hongtu only be ranked 928th with his strength?
Surprised, Qin Yu asked the young disciple next to him, "Fellow Daoist, why is Duan Hongtu only in the nine hundredth place?"
"You asked me, I …" The disciple who was interrupted turned around angrily, but when he saw Qin Yu's face, his pupils shrank sharply and his face stiffened. He looked at Qin Yu with fear.
In these three days, Qin Yu's name had become a hot topic among the tenth generation disciples. There were endless rumors about Fang Huxiao asking Qin Yu to leave. In the end, someone concluded that Qin Yu's identity was definitely extraordinary …
This disciple also saw Qin Yu forcing Fang Huxiao to kneel at the Dao Seeking Meeting. In addition to the discussions about Qin Yu in the sect, the young man also felt that Qin Yu was not just an ordinary disciple.
Therefore, when he saw Qin Yu, his heart skipped a beat. After a short moment of shock, the disciple said respectfully, "Senior Brother Qin … you're talking about the tenth generation Prospective Sequence Disciple Duan Hongtu, right?
I haven't heard any news about him participating in the Power Rankings all these years, so his ranking should be from a long time ago. "
Qin Yu nodded. That made sense. Otherwise, Qin Yu would have to re-evaluate the strength of the Yin Yang Sect.
However, the disciple's next words made Qin Yu's heart skip a beat.
"I've done some research on the Power Rankings. If Senior Brother Duan Hongtu participates in the Power Rankings now, his strength should be able to squeeze into the top five hundred …"
