Chapter 333: imperial ranking Prodigy

The king ranking, cascading down from the heavens like a waterfall, finally began to inscribe the names of this session's Prodigies.

The characters were written with sweeping, vigorous strokes, like iron pens and silver hooks.

One by one, the names of the Prodigies appeared on the king ranking, standing tall and imposing.

"Young Master Mo Yu, Young Lord! Your name has appeared, Young Lord!"

"This time, you have actually entered the top twenty of the king ranking, ranked nineteenth!"

"Since the old Master, you are the most brilliant demon pearl of our Heavenly Demon Clan!"

The Heavenly Demon Clan's Imperial Realm expert was overjoyed to see Young Master Mo Yu's name appear.

Even Young Master Mo Yu himself had not expected his progress to be so great.

To think he could actually rank in the top twenty of the king ranking!

Not far away, Young Master Long Xiao's arms, which had been crossed over his chest, slowly dropped.

He appeared unconcerned, but in reality, he was constantly glancing at Young Master Mo Yu out of the corner of his eye.

His heart felt as if it were being scratched by a cat's claws, itching incessantly.

Vaguely, he seemed to begin recalling the inner demon he had encountered during the heart-refining trial inside the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Young Master Long Xiao kept telling himself in his heart.

He cast the inner demon, which he found terrifying even to think about, to the back of his mind.

When he looked up again, he saw the name of Young Master Long Xiao appear at the eleventh spot on the king ranking.

His arms, which had been hanging down, finally crossed over his chest again at this moment. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. Although it is only the eleventh spot on the king ranking, compared to my previous improvement of only four spots, with that Prodigy Qin Xuan around, I can count this as an improvement of five spots!"

Above his own name, he saw the name of Feng Yao and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What you said was actually true? You entered the top ten of the king ranking!?"

He looked at Feng Yao, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

Feng Yao gave an indifferent hum, "The top ten of the king ranking is nothing. Compared to Qin Xuan who is in the same Realm, it is not worth mentioning. Compared to my own ranking, I am actually more curious about how far Qin Xuan can go."

Everyone's gaze followed the rankings on the king ranking as they moved upward.

Daoist Gu Jiuyou, seventh on the king ranking; Daoist Xu Baijin, third on the king ranking;..., second on the king ranking.

"What is going on? There is no name for Qin Xuan, nor is there the name of Prince Zheng Huai."

"With Qin Xuan's strength, it is impossible for him to be much inferior to Prince Zheng Huai, and Prince Zheng Huai was the former leader of the king ranking. How could he possibly fail to enter the king ranking?"

"In the past, the king ranking and the imperial ranking were released simultaneously. Today, the king ranking is almost finished being released, yet the imperial ranking is still being evaluated."

"Could it be that there is a problem with the king ranking and imperial ranking this time?"

Everyone was confused by this sight.

With the final appearance of Prince Zheng Huai's name, the release of the king ranking was complete.

Prince Zheng Huai frowned and suspiciously asked, "Could it be that there really is a malfunction with the king ranking this time?"

Otherwise, why would it be that until now, even Qin Xuan's name hasn't appeared?

With his Prodigy-level feats, even if he surpassed him and took the position of the leader of the king ranking, no one would question it.

Young Master Mo Yu was astonished, "Qin Xuan's name isn't there? Qin Xuan isn't even in the top hundred of the king ranking?"

Young Master Long Xiao grabbed his dragon horns and shouted in a bizarre, manic way, "How is that possible? Qin Xuan could stand on equal footing with the eleventh on the king ranking—no, that's not right, he could crush the eleventh on the king ranking. How is it possible he didn't enter the top ten of the king ranking?"

He meticulously combed through the top hundred of the king ranking thousands of times, yet he simply could not find the name of Qin Xuan.

Feng Yao also furrowed her brows, casting doubt on the fairness and authority of the king ranking this time.

Beside the Heavenly God Black Lotus, Dao Child Leng Shang said angrily, "That scoundrel Qin Xuan already possesses power that exceeds what one should have in the King Realm."

"Since when can the King Realm defy and kill those at the Peak of the Imperial Realm? Since when can someone in the Late Stage of the King Realm kill a Prodigy capable of ranking on the imperial ranking?"

"Even Senior Brother Prince Zheng Huai, the leader of the king ranking, could not possess such combat power."

"It must be that Qin Xuan used some trump card, borrowed the power of other experts, and deceived the inspection of the God Ruins. He was discovered within the king ranking, and subsequently, his qualification for ranking was canceled."

Dao Child Leng Shang hated him! He hated that Qin Xuan had injured him so badly that he didn't even dare to enter the king ranking.

He could only act as a spectator, watching Daoist Gu Jiuyou and Daoist Xu Baijin reap the joy of their improved rankings on the king ranking.

If not for Qin Xuan, this time, with the help of the asura sword, let alone the top ten of the king ranking, even entering the top three of the king ranking would have been possible!

All of this was brought about by Qin Xuan! Qin Xuan deserves to die! He should be ground to dust!

"Qin Xuan and the others have come out!" Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes pointed at the exit of the king ranking that had reopened.

Seeing the five people led by Qin Xuan walk out openly, everyone gasped.

"This guy is truly bold and skilled."

"Knowing full well that the Blood Asura Clan and the Earth Sect would not let things go, he still dares to appear here openly. If it were me, I would have already snuck away while everyone else was focused on the king ranking."

Zhou Chen, walking beside Qin Xuan, saw the figures of the Blood Asura Clan and also the Earth Sect Formation Master who had appeared before.

However, standing beside Master Qin, he was fearless.

He just tilted his head, looked at the rankings on the king ranking, and exclaimed in surprise, "Master Qin, I almost made it onto the king ranking."

The top hundred of the king ranking were written with sweeping, vigorous strokes, like iron pens and silver hooks. After the top hundred, the names of those Prodigies were much fainter, appearing almost illusory. The further back the ranking, the fainter the ink.

Zhou Chen, who had achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the King Realm in the king ranking, found himself among the faint names in the top five hundred.

Immediately, he muttered in surprise, "No, that's not right. Master Qin, how could you not have entered the king ranking?"

"How is it that your name, Master Qin, is not on this king ranking?" Zhou Chen found it incredible.

He did not think it was because Master Qin lacked strength. On the contrary, he firmly suspected the impartiality of the king ranking.

"There must be a flaw in this king ranking!"

Luo Xianxian rolled her eyes and said, "What flaw? Your Master, that monster, doesn't care about some king ranking at all; he has already ascended to the imperial ranking!"

"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, Dao Child Leng Shang laughed wildly, "Within the God Ruins, the king ranking and the imperial ranking have stood for over a million years, and there has never been any flaw."

"It is one thing that you were able to kill a Peak Imperial Realm expert by borrowing the power of others, but at this moment, after being exposed by the king ranking, not only are you not ashamed, but you are instead questioning the authority of the king ranking?"

"In our Hongmeng Continent, how many thousands of Prodigies have appeared throughout the generations? Which of those who questioned the king ranking, in the end, didn't prove themselves to be clowns?"

Dao Child Leng Shang pointed his finger at Qin Xuan and said angrily, "Qin Xuan, you stole the supreme treasure of my Blood Asura Clan and injured my Earth Sect Senior Brother."

"Today, for this grudge and hatred, my Blood Asura Clan and the Earth Sect will never let you off!"

Heavenly God Black Lotus waved his whisk, and a mighty man dressed in blue armor, holding the Moye Sword, walked out with dragon-like steps and tiger-like strides.

He announced his name, "Earth Sect Moye, ninety-third on the imperial ranking."

"I have heard that your combat power is unrivaled in the King Realm. I will not bully you; I will let you have three moves."

"If you can injure me, I will not make things difficult for you."

"If you cannot injure me, today, both your spiritual body and your physical body shall be executed!"

Moye respected Heavenly God Black Lotus, but as a Prodigy on the imperial ranking, he also had his own pride.

He had given Qin Xuan plenty of opportunities; if Qin Xuan did not cherish them, even if he used his Realm to suppress others, no one would dare to gossip.

"You said that yourself." Qin Xuan's figure flashed, and he disappeared from where he was. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Moye.

He punched out, and the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power of billions of Primordial Dragon Elephants rampaged and surged.

In just a single exchange, Moye's body was blasted into dust by the savagely charging Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power.

Only the Moye Sword remained in the air, not having fallen.

Qin Xuan reached out and grabbed the falling Moye Sword. He grabbed the hilt with one hand and the tip of the sword with the other, applying a slight force.

Snap—an Imperial Artifact was snapped in two in his hands, and he casually threw it to the heavenly desolation halberd to devour.

Looking at everyone who was dumbfounded, Qin Xuan shook his head in boredom, "In front of me, why are you all acting so arrogant?"
