"You don't have to go back …"
Fairy Tian Yun's words put pressure on Lu Li. She didn't say that he didn't have to go back to the Cloud Mountain. She said that he didn't have to go back to the Omen Island.
She was the favorite sister of the Asmodian King. Lu Li really couldn't survive at the Omen Island because of her words.
Sometimes, Fairy Tian Yun gave people the feeling that she was very amiable, but sometimes, she gave people the feeling that she was cold and ruthless, making people unable to fathom her.
But Lu Li and Fairy Tian Yun were partners. She would help Lu Li and Lu Li would help her kill someone.
She had helped Lu Li a lot and now it was Lu Li's turn to help her.
Lu Li thought about it and cupped his fists. "Patriarch Chen, tell her that if I cannot kill Yun Kaiyue, I will be too ashamed to come back."
Lady Yi nodded. Patriarch Chen brought them to the Teleportation Formation and teleported to the Omen City.
The three of them walked toward the Mansion of the City Lord. Lady Yi's beauty attracted many people's attention. Lu Li had just caused a sensation not long ago. Many people in the city knew him and they were talking about him.
"Lu Li, I didn't know that you are so famous."
Lady Yi approached Lu Li and whispered to him. Lu Li shrugged and said, "I am more famous out there."
"Ha, ha ~"
Lady Yi stuck her tongue out mischievously and said, "If you kill Yun Kaiyue at the Island of Chaos, you will be even more famous. You have offended three super forces at once. I think you will have the whole world as your enemy."
"Isn't the Asmodian King the whole world as well?"
Lu Li said noncommittally, "Any powerful warrior who wants to climb up must touch other people's interests and offend some forces. If you don't climb up by stepping on others, then you will become a stepping stone for others.
Natural selection and survival of the fittest. This is an unchanging truth. "
"You are ambitious. I have faith in you!"
Lady Yi giggled and said, "Lu Li, when you become the most powerful warrior at the Second Heaven, you must protect me."
Lu Li wanted to tease her. He touched her with his arm and said, "This is not a problem. What is our relationship?
Your business is my business, and your people are my people … "
"Bah!"
Lady Yi blushed. She glared at Lu Li and said, "How dare you flirt with me? I will castrate you."
"Hahaha!"
Lu Li smiled. He felt more relaxed after the conversation. A big battle was imminent. Only with a peaceful mind could he perform to the best of his ability.
Elder Chen stated his purpose of coming, and the people from the City Lord Mansion brought them in. Blade Demon didn't appear, and neither did Axe Demon. That person just asked the three of them to sit in the side hall.
"All of you, take a look!"
Elder Chen took out two booklets and handed them over. "This is the Genius Ranking released two months ago. The people inside are probably your opponents."
Lu Li hadn't been paying attention to this. He curiously took the book and flipped through it. The book was well made and very exquisite. There were portraits of the characters on it, which were drawn to perfection. There was also a brief introduction of the characters, as well as an introduction of their abilities.
The ranking was backward, starting from the 100th. Lu Li saw that the 100th was a warrior at the peak of the Second Tribulation, a chosen one from a major force.
Lu Li read on and memorized the information of those warriors. The ones at the beginning were not interesting. They were all at the peak of the Second Tribulation, but each of them had their own moves and they were all young.
At the 63rd place, Lu Li saw a familiar face, Young Master Ge from the Sea of Storms. Starting from the 63rd place, all of them were Third Tribulation Heaven Immortals.
He saw more familiar faces. Lady Qiong, Lady Mu, Young Master Bu, and Young Master Qin were all on the list. Young Master Qin was at the top, at the 38th place.
"Lu Li, you are on the list!"
Lady Yi suddenly shouted. Lu Li frowned. He took a look and saw that Lu Li was on the list. He was at the top, at the 32nd place.
Written on the booklet was "Hellish God of Massacre". His background was unknown. In the portrait, he had dragon wings on his back and a bronze mask. He was as fast as a warrior at the peak of the Third Tribulation. His physical body was strong and his overall abilities were at the middle stage of the Third Tribulation.
"Middle stage of the Third Tribulation?"
Lu Li nodded. That was about right. The list was well researched.
Lu Li's curiosity grew. He was at the 32nd place. Then, how powerful were the other 31 warriors?
Lu Li continued to read. When he saw the ones at the top, he was taken aback. The ones at the top were all at the middle stage of the Third Tribulation. They were the chosen ones from the 36 major forces or the talented ones trained by the hidden families.
Every one of them had their own skills and were powerful. Even the weakest among them was at the middle stage of the Third Tribulation. Their sects all had powerful skills and secret skills which they had mastered. Their abilities were formidable.
"It is said that the chosen ones are born from fighting among the young. None of the chosen ones from the major forces can be underestimated."
Lu Li exclaimed. How many were there in the young generation of a major force?
There must be over ten thousand of them in total.
Since they were young, they had been provided with rich resources and conditions. Every one of them was a talent. It was not hard to imagine how outstanding the chosen ones were.
Lu Li continued to read. When he reached the top 10, he was even more shocked. The young lady at the eighth place might be at the later stage of the Third Tribulation.
Lu Li was even more shocked when he reached the seventh place. It was confirmed that the girl at the seventh place had reached the later stage of the Third Tribulation.
That was to say, the top seven on the list were all at the later stage of the Third Tribulation. Many old warriors could not reach the later stage of the Third Tribulation even after hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. But the young generation could reach the top.
"How many heroes and warriors are there in the world?
There are hundreds of millions of warriors. Inevitably, there will be some freaks and geniuses. We cannot underestimate them! "
Lu Li exclaimed again. He had thought he could go anywhere in the world with the Unfettered Steps and the Dragon Wings. Now, it seemed that there were too many strange people in the world. There would always be someone stronger than him. He could die easily if he was careless.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Lady Yi gasped and shouted, "Lu Li, look at Yun Kaiyue. He is the second on the list. His comprehensive abilities are at the later stage of the Third Tribulation!"
Before Lu Li reached the front, he opened the booklet and flipped it open. After a few glances, his expression became solemn.
Yun Kaiyue, the chosen one of the Saint Origin Palace. Seven years ago, he passed the third Heaven's Tribulation. Then, he tried the Tower of Saint Origin. Now, he had passed the fourth level of the Tower of Saint Origin. His comprehensive abilities were at the later stage of the Third Tribulation. Skills and Killing Moves, unknown.
Secret Treasures, unknown.
Lu Li was the 32nd on the list, but Yun Kaiyue wanted to kill the second one. Lu Li found it funny and felt pressured.
At first, he was full of confidence. His physical body had improved a lot, and he had the Godly iron. It shouldn't be difficult for him to kill Yun Kaiyue. Now, after he saw the list, he was not so sure …
He paused for a moment and turned to the last page. He wanted to see who was the first on the list.
However, when he turned to the last page, his hand suddenly trembled. The book fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock.
