Chapter 202 The Number One in the Storm
Chapter 202 The Number One Person in the Storm
Qin Zhongshan, the young master of the Extinction Dao Sect and the "Demon Emperor of Chaos," ranks second on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.
The Blood Slaughter Sect, with its "Demon Blade Forget-Worry" wielding the Blood Eight Desolations, ranks third on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.
Among the twelve noble families of the Northern Han Dynasty, Xiang Boyue, known as "Overlord's Wrathful Spear," ranked fourth on the list of prominent figures.
The Primordial Pangu Sect, Jade Void Heavenly Light Taoist Yu Pan, ranked fifth on the Fengyun List.
Among the three major schools of Buddhism, the Vajra Heavenly Wheel Temple of the Western Regions Esoteric School is home to the monk Zhizhen, known as the "Buddha of a Hundred Tribulations," who ranks sixth on the list of influential figures.
Dong Wuhen, the "Five Elements Divine Fist" of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, ranks seventh on the Wind and Cloud List.
The Du family of Jiangxia, Li Liuyu, known as the "Green Lotus Prince," ranks eighth on the Wind and Rain List.
The Du family of Jiangxia, Du Zizhan, whose pen name is "Azure Snow and Blue Sky," ranks ninth on the list of influential figures.
Tian Guishan, known as "Dragon Owl Sword" of Shenjian Manor, ranks tenth on the Fengyun List.
……
These nine individuals are all renowned figures, successors in powerful organizations. Gathering them all together would be virtually impossible. Yet today, all nine of the top ten on the Power Rankings are present.
The reason is that today he is about to break through to the Dharma Aspect realm, and he is Liu Buhui, who has occupied the number one spot on the Wind and Cloud Ranking for ten years as the "Dragon and Tiger Divine Aspect".
Such a grand occasion is truly a rare sight, perhaps only seen once every few decades.
……
Everyone followed the Marquis of Dingyuan's men to the imperial training ground, which had been prepared in advance.
The Northern Han imperial family had already completed the preparations for the training ground. In the very center was a martial arts stage, surrounded by nine seats. These appeared to be reserved for the nine masters ranked in the top ten of the martial arts rankings.
Further out on the perimeter, two rows of seats were arranged on the left and right sides respectively. Lin Fei and his group were seated on the left, while Li Longqian, Ming Tong, and the others were seated on the right.
These people were there purely to observe and learn. Even with Lin Fei's current level of cultivation (five apertures), he was still somewhat lacking in the ability to fight Liu Buhui, who had opened the Heaven and Earth Mystery Gate.
The other nine people inside are different. If Liu Buhui wants to rise to the top in one step, he must unleash his full potential. Each of the nine people inside could potentially become a target for Liu Buhui to use in unleashing that potential.
Therefore, the nine people inside all wore extremely serious expressions. It seemed they had been preparing for the past two days to face Liu Buhui, who had held the top spot on the popularity rankings for ten years.
The nine people sat down around the central martial arts arena, and the rest of the people in the outer area also took their seats. At this moment, Marquis Dingyuan walked to the center of the arena, clasped his hands slightly to the crowd, and said: "I believe everyone knows me, so there is no need for me to introduce myself. Today, as the person in charge of this Heroes' Gathering, I would like to thank all the young masters for traveling thousands of miles to my Northern Han Kingdom."
As he spoke, Marquis Dingyuan glanced at the nine people below the martial arts stage: "I hope that you will all show your true skills later and let me see the demeanor of you young people!"
As they were speaking, the weather suddenly changed, and the entire sky was dyed purple in an instant.
"Auspicious purple clouds are rising from the east!" Everyone's expression changed upon seeing this. "Liu is not coming back!"
The purple aura coming from the east, like the qi accumulating in Lin Fei's meridians, is a manifestation of the true qi within his body reaching a certain level of strength. The strength of this purple aura's true qi is even sufficient to influence celestial phenomena.
If an ordinary person possessed such abundant true energy, they would likely be bursting from the sheer volume of energy within their body if they didn't condense their Dharma form as soon as possible. It's unbelievable that Liu Buhui has reached such a level of power. The sheer abundance of his true energy has even triggered the extraordinary phenomenon of purple qi rising from the east!
In the distance, a figure could be seen walking in mid-air, each step seemingly creating a lotus flower, towards the martial arts stage. Beneath his feet, true energy condensed into a ball of purple mist.
This man was brimming with true energy, almost overflowing from his body. Who else in the entire world, besides Liu Buhui, could be at the Acupoint Realm?
"The number one spot on the popularity chart is truly well-deserved!" Lin Fei couldn't help but exclaim in his heart upon seeing this scene.
Lin Fei originally thought that with his current strength of five apertures, coupled with the enhancement of various divine skills, he was already considered a top figure among the younger generation in the world. Even experts who had opened the Heavenly Gate could be dealt with to some extent by him.
Seeing him today, I realize there are always people more powerful than me, and the world is vast beyond our understanding. Liu Buhui's true energy alone is at least ten times stronger than mine!
……
Liu Buhui, dressed in a bright yellow outfit, landed in the center of the martial arts arena and gave a slight bow to Marquis Dingyuan: "Lord Ban, I am honored to meet you."
Marquis Dingyuan chuckled, "Judging from your appearance, it seems that achieving great things and condensing your Dharma form will be a natural progression for you. I won't waste any more time here. Today, let's see how you perform!"
As he spoke, Marquis Dingyuan leaped off the training platform, handing it over entirely to Liu Buhui.
Liu Buhui stood in the center of the martial arts arena, exuding an aura of dominance over all living beings and a sense of superiority.
Legend has it that this person was born with extraordinary signs of dragons and tigers, destined to achieve far greater things than ordinary people. And since he topped the list of the most influential figures ten years ago, no matter how the rankings of the younger generation of masters have changed, Liu Buhui has firmly held the number one position.
Under heaven, perhaps only Liu Buhui, a mere cultivator at the Acupoint Realm, possesses such imposing aura, looking down upon all other young masters at the Acupoint Realm.
Liu Buhui looked around and then smiled, "Everyone is here. It seems that I, Liu, have quite a bit of influence."
His gaze was mainly focused on the nine people surrounding the martial arts arena. After all, although those people in the outer area were also experts among the younger generation, they were still a bit lacking in ability to fight against Liu Buhui, let alone unleash his potential.
Liu Buhui thought for a moment, then looked at the nine people below the martial arts stage, finally settling on three of them.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three of them and said, “Brother Tian, Brother Du, Young Master Qinglian, all three of you come up here. I, Liu, will challenge the three of you to join forces!”
Liu Buhui's challengers are Tian Guishan, ranked tenth on the Fengyun Ranking, known as "Dragon Owl Sword", Du Zizhan, ranked ninth, known as "Azure Blood and Blue Sky", and Li Liuyu, ranked eighth.
Boom! The appearance of Liu Buhui shocked everyone who had come to watch the ceremony, and they all started discussing it.
The nine people sitting below the martial arts stage also looked rather grim.
This Liu Buhui actually dared to challenge the combined forces of three people from the top ten of the Wind and Cloud Ranking right from the start! What great skill, what arrogant aura! No wonder he's the number one on the Wind and Cloud Ranking!
