Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 164 Return
Training base!

Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Guan Yue, Xiao Hanxue and other figures appeared one after another.

Wu Sheng, Liu Zhixuan, and others, who had been waiting outside the base, were on high alert and ready to act.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that no strange beasts or monsters had appeared with them.

Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed forward to greet them.

However, when they saw that only 11 out of the 21 people who went in returned, their expressions changed slightly.

What's the situation inside the trial grounds?

Wu Sheng asked in a deep voice.

Yang Kaitai also did not hold back and quickly recounted everything that had happened inside the Fengwo Temple.

"The Fertile Clan!? Each of their warriors has 30 points of Physique?"

"There are fire-breathing monsters? One of them is comparable to a master-level martial artist!?"

"There are tens of thousands of these monsters?! If these monsters were to break out, it would be a disaster for the entire Federation!"

As Yang Kaitai recounted his story, even Wu Sheng, a martial artist of master level, felt a heaviness in his heart.

People like Liu Zhixuan were filled with fear.

According to Yang Kaitai, even if they entered the Fengwo Temple, they could not do better than his group.

Fortunately, while the news from the Fengwo tribe brought them immense pressure, Yang Kaitai also relayed some good news.

"Ji Fuyou and Liu Yiren are unharmed; they just weren't traveling with you..."

Liu Zhixuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Those two actually acted together with He Qilin, Feng Yulou, Xiao Jiuge, Gu Yinbing, and others?"

Wu Sheng was somewhat surprised: "It's understandable that Liu Yiren was favored by the He family's prodigy because of her poison skills, but Ji Fuyou... can actually fight alongside this group of people!?"

Fengyulou and Xiao Jiuge need no introduction.

One is Xiao Jiansheng's younger brother, who is also a core member of his exclusive team!
Wind and Rain Tower...

He was even known as a being on par with the Southern Mad Blade.

A person with the same name as Wu Rendi, the Northern Divine Spear, the president of the Martial Arts Association!

Although Wu Sheng and Wu Rendi were at odds, Wu Sheng knew how formidable the Grand Master was.

Nan Kuangdao was as famous as him, and even though he was slightly weaker in terms of reputation, he was definitely one of the strongest among the master-level martial artists.

Not to mention He Qilin and Gu Yinbing, who are practically the successors of spiritual masters like He Jinglan and Gu Qing.

The spiritual system is superior to the martial arts system. A high-level spiritual energy user can chat and laugh with a master-level martial artist and be on equal footing.

Near-master level mental power user...

Its weight is no less than that of Fengyulou and Wurendi.

"Why not?"

Upon hearing Wu Sheng's words, Xiao Hanxue was the first to retort: ​​"President Wu, you have no idea how powerful our captain is. His strength is beyond your imagination."

"The captain is definitely qualified to compete on the same stage as He Qilin, Master Feng, and Master Xiao."

Yang Kaitai nodded slightly and glanced at Wu Sheng: "We all underestimated the captain's strength! He once single-handedly defeated a battle formation of eight Fertile Monsters! He also once killed a Fertile Guardian that was stronger than a Master-level martial artist in a near one-on-one fight!"

He paused for a moment, then said, “I estimate that even if the captain’s strength is not as good as Feng Yulou and Xiao Jiuge, it is probably not far off. In addition, he also cultivates the spiritual system... His role in this trial is definitely no less than that of Feng Yulou and Xiao Jiuge, and should be second only to He Qilin and Gu Yinbing.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Sheng and Liu Zhixuan couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Xiao Hanxue's words were too emotional; they could ignore them, but even Yang Kaitai had said something like that…

"Not inferior to Wind Blade Madman and Sword Master Xiao..."

Wu Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that a remarkable figure has emerged from our Chu Prefecture."

Liu Zhixuan and the others nodded in agreement.

"Next, we'll wait for Master Ji to come out so we can celebrate his success together."

Wu Sheng said with a smile.

Yang Kaitai wholeheartedly agreed.

Their wait did not last long.

As a mist suddenly appeared and surged, Ji Fuyou and Liu Yiren's figures quickly emerged from the mist.

Upon seeing the two, Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Xiao Hanxue, and the others immediately went to greet them.

"team leader."

"Captain, Aunt Liu, you've finally arrived!"

"Floating, are you alright?"

Ji Fuyou breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing that the others were unharmed.

"I'm so glad you're all back safe and sound."

He smiled.

These words reminded everyone of the dangers of this trial grounds, and while they were relieved, they were also still filled with lingering fear.

Although their team was stronger than that of ordinary hunters, the dangers of the Temple of Fertiles were far greater than expected, and it was still unknown whether they could have returned safely without Ji Fuyou.

"So, how many people have made it onto the Heavenly Ranking?"

Ji Fuyou said something.

At this point, the Heavenly Ranking had been transformed into a rank system and no longer displayed rankings, so he could no longer directly learn who was on the list through the Heavenly Ranking.

"We're all on the list, except Guan Yue, who's just a little short..."

Yang Kaitai said.

Guan Yue quickly waved his hand and said, "My strength is too poor. Let alone the Heavenly Ranking, it's questionable whether I can even rank in the top 1000 among the thousands of participants in the trial. The second stage of the trial requires a civilization competition, and with my strength, I shouldn't be dragging everyone down."

He paused for a moment, then said, "This trial has made me fully aware of my shortcomings. In addition, I am not young anymore. I have to think about my family and children, not just myself. So... I plan to change careers and work for the Martial Arts Association."

Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, and Ji Fuyou were somewhat surprised to hear this.

But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.

Especially Yang Kaitai, who invited Guan Yue to join back then, did so partly because they were familiar with each other and trusted each other, and partly because...

They are his relatives and family members.

Hearing what he said, the others didn't dare to offer any further advice.

Wu Sheng, who was standing to the side, said, "If you want to work in the Martial Arts Association, I will arrange it for you. I will definitely not treat a senior talent like you unfairly." Fang Qiyun added, "Chaoyang University, which was jointly founded by our Fang family and the state government, has a Martial Arts Academy. If you are willing to go there, you can directly serve as the vice president and dean of the Martial Arts Academy."

"Thank you very much. I will discuss it with my family and we will definitely ask Chairman Wu and Ms. Fang for help if needed."

Guan Yuedao.

"Go back first."

Ji Fuyou glanced at Yang Kaitai and spoke.

He used Soul Blast repeatedly, and his current condition is not good.

If it weren't for waiting for Ji Fuyou to come out, I would have gone to rest long ago.

Others, upon hearing this, naturally wouldn't be tactless.

"You've been working so hard for so long, you should get some rest. We can talk about anything else once you've recovered."

Wusheng Road.

The group then headed to their respective rest areas at the training base.

"Jingle Bell!"

At that moment, Wu Sheng's phone rang.

"President Xue?"

He was somewhat surprised, but he still answered the phone.

"President Wu, are Ji Fuyou and the others with you?"

Soon, the voice of Xue Changfeng, the president of the Association of Mental Abilities, came through the phone.

"Yes, they just came out, but they're planning to rest now. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Alas, to my shame, my good-for-nothing son committed a grave mistake in the Temple of Fertile. I simply couldn't bear to watch, so I'm planning to drag this kid over to apologize to Captain Ji."

Xue Changfeng's tone was full of guilt: "If Captain Ji needs to rest, let them rest first. I told him to wait outside. He can't enter the Xue family's door until he gets Captain Ji's forgiveness."

"Xue Huanian?"

Wu Sheng was somewhat surprised.

Xue Huanian...

He was also a well-known young talent in Chuzhou, and he often envied him, thinking that Xue Changfeng had a worthy successor.

What mistake did they make?
Unfortunately, Xue Changfeng didn't explain further, simply saying, "We're coming right now."

The call was quickly disconnected.

At that moment, Wu Sheng turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou and relayed the contents of the phone call.

"Xue Changfeng, Xue Huanian..."

Ji Fuyou guessed the reason why Xue Changfeng brought Xue Huanian to apologize.

Xiao Hanxue retorted indignantly, "You think an apology is enough? It's not that simple! They led the Fengwo guards in our direction. If we weren't so strong, wouldn't we have been wiped out?"

"Captain, what do you think?"

Yang Kaitai then turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou: "Whatever you decide, we will support you."

"So are we."

Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue followed suit and expressed their opinions.

Even Liu Yiren nodded slightly.

The Liu family may not be as powerful as the Xue family, but they are still a major clan in Chuzhou that cannot be ignored.

"What do you think?"

Ji Fuyou smiled and said, "Didn't we say that grudges in the mist shouldn't be brought into the present world?"

"That's true, but..."

Yang Kaitai's voice trailed off.

Who really holds a grudge and doesn't seek revenge?

It's just that the methods of retaliation can't be done openly, so they can only be carried out in private.

"Alright, go and rest now."

Ji Fuyou glanced at him: "Don't leave any lasting problems."

Yang Kaitai nodded, then added, "If the captain has any orders, please don't hesitate to ask."

He knew very well that with Ji Fuyou's current skills, his status as an equal treated by He Qilin and the others, and his potential to climb to third place on the Heavenly Ranking, he was very likely to become a spiritual master in the future.

Once you enter this field...

Looking across the Federation, they will leap into the top tier of existence.

Especially in the extraordinary circles, their influence is comparable to that of those second-level public officials.

He naturally wanted to maintain this relationship, even if it meant offending Xue Changfeng, the president of the Chuzhou Spiritual Ability Association.

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou gave a simple reply.

The group then went back to rest.

Wu Sheng, Liu Zhixuan, and the others also needed to gather information from other sources, so they left in a hurry.

And Ji Fuyou...

Upon returning to the room, he immediately took out both the Spirit Source Crystal and the Physical Source Crystal.

These two red source crystals are larger than the previous source crystals and are of superior quality.

As the Floating Cycle draws out the energy within...

The sensation of being caught between ice and fire instantly surged through my entire body.

As his physique grew, the pain associated with this strengthening seemed to have lessened somewhat.

After a short while, Ji Fuyou slowly exhaled.

Physical strength: 30.1 → 30.8.

Spirit: 26→27.7.
