But so far, no king or noble has come to stop it.
Many of the geniuses present had probably already considered this, which is why they accepted the reward of the gold list with a clear conscience.
"If the Eighth Heaven Ranking can elevate the 'Dao' by one zhang, then what about the Ninth Heaven?"
He turned and thought to himself.
In fact, it wasn't just Shen Qian who thought of this; others did too.
In an instant, everyone who should have been on the list but whose name was not yet displayed subconsciously looked up.
"May your name live on for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, soaring high and hanging in the azure clouds!"
"A dragon among men, ranked on the Nine Heavens List!"
This time, however, the Heavenly Mystery Guest deliberately paused for a long time, as if everyone was holding their breath, before finally waving his hand.
The last golden list, hanging high at the top, suddenly shone brightly.
There were no numerical rankings; only a name appeared on it.
"Cao Yi".
Two simple words, yet they are as dazzling as the sun.
Although there were already some speculations, many people in the manor still cast envious glances at the young man standing with his hands behind his back.
From the appearance of the Heavenly Mystery Guest to the establishment of the Nine Heavens Ranking, the entire process has only taken a few tens of minutes, but the magic of the Nine Heavens Ranking has already been fully revealed.
Moreover, so far, no one has come forward to question its combat strength and ranking.
In other words, the Nine Heavens Ranking has already acquired strong credibility without being explicitly stated.
There are countless young people in China, but only these ten stand out from the crowd. To be one of them is an immense honor!
Soon, other names also appeared one by one.
"Qu Bai!"
"Bai Fei!"
"Lin Sanmo!"
"Wu Yi!"
"Mu Ziyan!"
“Shabi!”
"Fang Fan!"
"Qin Xiaoke!"
For some unknown reason, the Nine Heavens Ranking did not rank the participants or indicate their combat strength; it simply listed one name after another, shining with brilliant light.
"Upon reaching the summit, the entire heavens offer their congratulations!"
As the Heavenly Mystery Guest laughed, an intense, blinding golden light shone from those names, with seven of the golden beams landing on the high platform.
Many people sighed in admiration.
If the golden light of the Eighth Heaven Ranking can make someone "one zhang higher than the Daoist," then how much more can the Ninth Heaven Ranking, the highest peak, increase one's power?
These people, already at the pinnacle of talent, will only feel more hopeless after receiving the golden amplification.
But then, an unexpected event occurred.
After the Nine Heavens Ranking appeared, Lin Sanmo, who had frowned at first but remained calm afterward, suddenly drew his sword as the golden light shone toward him.
"Why should others point fingers at my 'Dao'?"
With those calm yet chilling words, Lin Sandao unleashed a sword strike, plunging the world into darkness for a fleeting moment.
Clang!
The golden light and the sword light collided. Although the sword light was annihilated, the golden light was also slashed back and disappeared into the list again.
quiet.
Everyone stared at Lin Sanmo in astonishment.
Golden light bestows blessings, can one accept them and then refuse them?
Most people find Lin Sanmo's behavior difficult to understand.
The golden light of the Eighth Heaven Ranking can make the Daoist stand taller, but what about the golden light of the Ninth Heaven Ranking?
For someone at Lin Sanmo's level, how terrifying would the increase in combat power be?
But he didn't even flinch, and just turned the opportunity away!
"Heh, it's fine without it."
But Lin Sanmo wasn't the only one to do the same thing.
Qu Bai also rose into the air and threw a punch, blasting away the reflected golden light.
He glanced sideways at Lin Sanmo, whom he didn't know, but he had to raise his opinion of Qu Bai even higher.
In fact, when Shen Qian realized that Qu Bai had already entered the top ten, he sighed.
What a big silver coin!
He had known Qu Bai for a long time, but he had never sensed anything unusual about him.
Looking back now, when school started half a year ago, although my score in the dice game was slightly higher than the other person's, if we really fought, I'm afraid the other person could crush me with just one finger.
Qu Bai and Lin Sanmo acted foolishly, but the other six people present did not react, letting the intense golden light enter their bodies.
No one knew what was different about the golden light of the Nine Heavens Ranking, and Wu Yi and the other six remained calm and did not show any abnormality.
Ultimately, it all comes down to mutual distrust.
The fact that the ten people listed on the Nine Heavens Ranking are not ranked means that no one can fully understand each other's background, so everyone is naturally very cautious.
"Huh?"
"That's not right!"
But at that moment, someone suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Shouldn't the Nine Heavens Ranking have ten people? Why are there only nine names!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked up after a moment of surprise.
Sure enough, on the Nine Heavens Ranking that hangs high in the sky, only nine names appeared. So where was the last one?
Qu Bai reacted the fastest, and in the blink of an eye, he realized something and turned his gaze to the only person present who should be on the list but whose name had not yet been displayed.
Bai Fei, Wu Yi, and others also turned their gazes toward Chen Qian with a "whoosh".
Shen Qian had been lost in thought, but only when he felt everyone's gaze did he belatedly realize what was happening.
Regardless of other people's speculations, even according to his own thoughts, his name should be listed alongside the other nine.
"What happened?"
Just as countless people were raising questions, the celestial strategist, who had been stroking his beard and smiling with a profound expression, also sensed something was wrong. He turned his head to look, then frowned and waved his hand.
