84 Ranking

Everybody immediately rushed towards the goateed man.

“Everyone don’t be anxious. I’ll hang this golden scroll on the wall and let everyone see it clearly.” As the goateed man spoke, he walked to a wall in the corridor. He opened the golden scroll and hung it on the wall. At the same time, he laughed loudly and said, “Every person on the list will stay in Blazing Sun Palace overnight with one family member. Tomorrow morning, they will head to Archean Mountain for the final selection. As for those who aren’t on the list, they may leave.”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Many family members and friends used their movement techniques and rushed to the wall. They carefully scanned through the names on the scroll.

Some geniuses didn’t care about their pride. They also used their movement techniques to rush in and take a closer look.

Where’s my name? Where’s my name? A genius looked anxiously. He couldn’t find his name on the golden scroll.

The elder shook his head and sighed, forcefully pulling him away.

Most of the geniuses had to leave because there were only a hundred names on the list.

Meng Chuan glanced at the geniuses who had failed. They were either silent, crazed, or indifferent… They had all sorts of reactions, and he felt mixed emotions. Entering Archean Mountain was like night and day for mortals. Many people had placed their hopes on Meng Chuan, but he was in much better shape. Furthermore, he was only eighteen.

He wasn’t like the geniuses who were already twenty years old—where this was their last attempt at Archean Mountain’s entrance examination.

“Awesome, Young Master Meng.”

“Young Master Meng, you are ranked first.”

Before Meng Chuan reached the golden scroll, someone in front congratulated him.

“First place?”

Meng Chuan and his father walked through the crowd and finally saw the golden scroll. The words on the golden scroll seemed to contain a sense of pressure.

Ji Yuantong scored 2 A-pluses and an A in the preliminaries. That was definitely an extremely monstrous score. However, Meng Chuan scored an S grade.

Ji Yuantong looked at Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan—who were not far away. He turned and left, but his eyes were filled with battle intent. After the final selection, I will definitely become number one.

Ninth. Yan Jin looked at his ranking calmly. Roughly ten people had Godfiend foundations that were on par with his. Being ranked ninth was quite low.

I cultivate dual sword techniques. The preliminaries only showcase a single sword’s strength. Yan Jin looked at the ranking. Only the final selection will showcase my true strength.

He admitted that he was weaker than Meng Chuan. But, he was still stronger than Jin Huan and the others! Yet, Jin Huan was ranked sixth, while he was ranked ninth.

There’s actually an S grade? Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Jin Huan, Princess Li Ying, Dong Fang, Ning Yibo, Yan Chitong, and many other geniuses were shocked when they saw the S grade. Especially those from the powerful Godfiend family clans, they knew how rare an S grade was in the preliminaries.

…

Blazing Sun Palace occupied a large area and had long prepared accommodation for exam participants and their family members. There were a lot of rooms, totaling three hundred rooms. Now, all the geniuses and family friends were settled in.

Meng Chuan and Meng Dajiang took two neighboring rooms.

Whoosh! Whoosh! It was late at night, and the snow didn’t let up.

Meng Chuan stared at the snow through the window as his thoughts drifted. The final selection was tomorrow. Although he was confident he could obtain a spot, he wasn’t sure about his final ranking.

Once a spot is obtained, one will be admitted into Archean Mountain officially. According to Archean Mountain’s rules, one has to reach an extremely high realm before one can leave the mountain. I wonder when I will next return to my hometown. In five years? Ten years?

The time he returned home would definitely be far into the future. He definitely wouldn’t be able to see his grandaunt again. The clan leader was in his nineties, and few mortals could live past a hundred years. It was unlikely that they could meet again.

I know what you’re looking forward to. I won’t disappoint you. Meng Chuan vowed silently.

…

Elsewhere in Blazing Sun Palace.

Candle flames flickered.

When King East River heard the snowfall, he smiled and wrote a letter in his room. After writing it, he smiled in satisfaction.

“Ah Tong,” said King East River. His voice traveled a quarter kilometer away.

Soon, a figure arrived at King East River’s residence.

“Go, send this letter to Mountain Lord.” King East River waved his hand, and the letter flew out. It flew out the window and arrived at the figure in the yard.

“Yes.” A pair of wings sprouted out from the figure’s back. With a whoosh, he soared into the sky and flew towards Archean Mountain rapidly.

Heavy snow indicates a bountiful harvest. King East River looked at the snow outside and smiled. We’ve discovered another peerless piece of unpolished jade. I hope he can grow and become a powerful Godfiend for us humans.
