Meanwhile, the heads of other families had mixed opinions on the results of the points ranking.
The head of the Liu family remained silent, his expression grave. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the Qin family's achievements, as the Qin family's dominance made other families resentful.
Li Changning, the head of the Li family, frowned. He was also dissatisfied with his family's ranking and hoped to achieve better results to compete for more resources and opportunities.
Zhu Yuan, the head of the Zhu family, smiled proudly, satisfied with the family's achievements. Although they ranked fifth, being among the top families of the fourteen was still something to celebrate.
Jin Hongfei, the head of the Jin family, frowned, dissatisfied with the family's ranking. He was wary of the Qin family's rise and hoped to surpass them in future competition.
Sun Tianyu, the head of the Sun family, looked worried. He knew that his family was ranked the lowest and felt helpless in the face of pressure and dissatisfaction from other families.
The heads of the Zhao, Yuan, and Liu families also had different feelings about their families' achievements; some were satisfied, some were dissatisfied, some were worried, and some were angry.
The results of the points rankings are a test and a reflection for each family. They all understand that the strength of the Qin family has put them under pressure and posed a challenge.
At this moment, Chu Tian was filled with anger and resentment. He had thought that he had performed well in the secret realm trial and was likely to win the first place on the leaderboard, but reality disappointed him greatly.
Seeing the Qin family firmly in first place on the leaderboard, Chu Tian felt a surge of anger rising within him.
"Why? Why did I still lose to Qin Ze? I put in so much effort!" Chu Tian roared inwardly. He was full of confidence in his strength, but at this moment he felt powerless to turn the tide.
Looking at Qin Ze, his eyes were filled with resentment and envy.
He understood that Qin Ze was his rival, and his most formidable rival, but he was unwilling to accept this fact.
Deep down, he longed to surpass Qin Ze and become the strongest in this world.
Chu Tian stood in front of the list, his face gloomy, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
Just then, Liu Changzhi, the genius of the Liu family, walked over. He looked at Chu Tian with a mocking expression: "Chu Tian, you are still not qualified. You are not even as good as the Qin family's subordinates. It's ridiculous."
"I thought the patriarch invited you back to be the captain because you had real skills, but it turns out you're just a pretty face with no substance..."
"Hahaha, a Xiantian expert? Bah! They're not even as good as dogs!!!"
Liu Changzhi's words were full of sarcasm and contempt, and he seemed very pleased with Chu Tian's defeat.
In his view, Chu Tian was just an arrogant guy who was all bluster and no one was worth mentioning.
Chu Tian turned pale with anger. He couldn't help but sneer, "Liu Changzhi, do you think you're so great? You're nothing but a dog of the family."
Liu Changzhi was instantly enraged. He was unwilling to be looked down upon like this and shouted, "You're asking for death!" With that, he prepared to attack Chu Tian.
Chu Tian coldly stared at Liu Changzhi, not taking him seriously at all. He suddenly attacked and instantly defeated Liu Changzhi, leaving the Liu family members dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Liu Ruoxin quickly stepped in to stop them: "Enough, Chu Tian, we've already failed, why continue to kill each other!"
Chu Tian snorted coldly, withdrew his hand, turned and left, leaving behind the words: "Let Liu Changzhi know his strength, so he can stop laughing at others."
Liu Ruoxin watched Chu Tian's retreating figure. She knew Chu Tian's arrogance, but she also understood that internal family conflicts were not a good thing. She sighed and said to Liu Changzhi, "Liu Changzhi, you shouldn't cause any more trouble. Just focus on your cultivation."
Liu Changzhi's face was grim. Although he had failed, his anger and contempt for Chu Tian had not dissipated.
He nodded silently and said nothing more.
Liu Ruoxin stood aside, watching Chu Tian's back, feeling somewhat complicated.
She used to look down on Chu Tian, even despising him as a self-righteous fool, but now she had to admit that Chu Tian's change surprised her.
"He was nothing more than a sycophant to me. How could I have been so disgusted with him?" Liu Ruoxin asked herself, reflecting on her past attitude.
Before Chu Tian, she had never taken him seriously, thinking he was just a person with little strength and value, not worth paying much attention to.
However, Chu Tian now displayed formidable strength and an arrogant attitude, which shocked and amazed Liu Ruoxin.
She began to doubt whether her assessment was correct. Could Chu Tian really be a genius hiding his true strength?
Perhaps my view of him is too one-sided. Liu Ruoxin felt conflicted.
She was unsure whether she should reassess Chu Tian, viewing him as a potential rival rather than an insignificant figure.
At the same time, Liu Ruoxin was shocked and puzzled by Qin Ze's change.
She originally thought Qin Ze was just an ordinary top-tier rich second-generation with nothing particularly noteworthy, but during the secret realm trial, he displayed astonishing strength and decisiveness.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside Liu Ruoxin, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
She understood that in this cruel world, strength and opportunity determined everything.
People you once looked down on may surpass you at some point, while those you once looked down on may lose everything in an instant.
"Perhaps I should be more vigilant and not underestimate anyone," Liu Ruoxin warned herself silently.
Chu Tian saw the complicated look in Liu Ruoxin's eyes as she looked at Qin Ze, and a pang of jealousy welled up in his heart.
