“Is this Jiang Tianlin? He really has an extraordinary temperament. He is quite imaginative of Jiang Shuiliu. Could it be that they are father and son?”

“He’s not a father and son. Jiang Tianlin is Jiang Shuiliu’s nephew, right? At least he’s from the same clan. It’s not a big deal if he looks like Jiang Shuiliu.”

“Rumor has it that Jiang Tianlin has obtained the true legacy of Jiang Shuiliu. This time, he is heading for the title of first place. He is one of the favourites to win the championship this time!”

“Could it be that their Jiang Clan wants two consecutive championships? Impossible, I absolutely do not believe that they can produce two heaven-defying figures in a row!”

Just as they were discussing, Jiang Shuiliu brought Jiang Lin into Ying Tian City and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

…

During this period of time, Li Qing had been living in the Heavenly Thunder Manor. Occasionally, he would follow Lei Zun and the others out to meet those formidable geniuses.

Originally, he wanted to use these opportunities to bet with those genius disciples in order to win some benefits. Who would have thought that they would all know Li Qing’s identity? The number one spot on the Eastern Heaven Rankings had already spread throughout the entire Ying Tian City.

This matter must have been spread out by Shi Ze, and he didn’t know what kind of thoughts he was harboring. Right now, Li Qing’s identity had already spread in a certain circle. Many people knew about this bet, and the stake was even a Myriad Spirit Pill!

This made Li Qing so angry that he wanted to trick a few more people, but he didn’t expect Shi Ze to ruin it.

Speaking of which, Li Qing’s status as the number one on the Earth Rankings wasn’t that frightening. After all, without personally experiencing his true strength, it was naturally difficult to convince the crowd.

However, in the following period of time, no one knew who created a ranking list to predict the rankings of the Martial Arts Gathering. They ranked some of the powerful people who participated in the Martial Arts Gathering, relying on their past battle achievements to make the rankings.

Li Qing was surprisingly ranked second!

Not only was the ranking simple, but there were also the corresponding deeds of the various experts, almost all of them listed on it.

As for Li Qing’s deeds, everything he had done in the Eastern Region, such as escaping under two Sword Sect experts, defeating Mountain River Sect with a single blade, and so on, was written in great detail.

Everyone was shocked when they saw his deeds. Good fellow, this was a real battle record. As expected, he was ranked number one on the Eastern Region Earth Rankings. His strength was extraordinary.

Even the news that Li Qing possessed two Dao Artifacts spread throughout the entire Ying Tian City.

This made some people restless. This Li Qing was a rogue cultivator with no background at all. How could he have two Dao Artifacts?

This was simply a treasure that could be easily obtained from the sect.

However, in Ying Tian City, no one was allowed to attack anyone else. Only then did these forces restrain their greed and wait for the Martial Arts Gathering to intercept them.

Logically speaking, Li Qing’s battle record was enough to shock the world. However, it was even more inconceivable that someone could be ranked ahead of him.

The person in front of Li Qing was called Dongfang Xueqing.

When Li Qing heard this name, he couldn’t help but be dazed for a moment and whispered to himself, “Dongfang Xueqing, this name is so familiar. It seems that he has heard of it somewhere before.”

Liu Ke’er gently walked behind him and said, “Have you forgotten? Heavenly Saber Tribe, the granddaughter of the old patriarch!”

Li Qing’s entire body trembled, “That’s right, that little girl’s name is also Dongfang Xueqing! Could it be her?”

“It’s a bit inconceivable. Isn’t her progress too exaggerated?”

“I don’t think so. She was only fifteen years old and had never cultivated before. How could she have improved to such an extent?” Li Qing said in disbelief.

One had to know that Li Qing’s aptitude was already considered to be absolutely heaven-defying, but it would still take several decades for him to reach the tenth level of the Xiantian realm. How could there be anyone who was much faster than him?

Liu Ke’er nodded her head, “That little girl had consumed the Blood Essence Fruit back then. Her meridians in her body were broken, and she was unable to cultivate for a long time. It was indeed impossible for her to achieve such an achievement.”

Li Qing recalled the past. He still remembered what happened back then. The little girl’s stubborn gaze allowed him to see his own shadow.

Breakage of meridians could only be repaired with precious precious precious medicines. However, with the identity of the little girl at that time, it was naturally impossible for her to accomplish this.

“It shouldn’t be her, it’s just the same name. We’re overthinking it.” Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Venerable Lei walked in from outside and said, “Li Qing, you know about the ranking outside, right?”

Li Qing nodded, “I know a little. I’m ranked second, and the first one is called Dongfang Xueqing.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect someone to be ranked ahead of you. I don’t even know what to say. I can’t believe there’s someone stronger than you in this world.”

Lei Zun took out a piece of paper and said, “I’ve brought this ranking with me. As the saying goes, you know your enemy well and are invincible in a hundred battles. You should understand the information of the people on the ranking.”

Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat as he casually received it. His gaze went straight to the first line on the top, with the words Dongfang Xueqing written on it.

Below her name was her specific information.

“Dongfang Xueqing, a disciple of the War God Palace of the Southern Domain, the most outstanding genius of the past thousand years. She did not cultivate true essence, but only body techniques. She had already reached an extremely high level of attainment. The reason why she was ranked first was because she had passed the War God Trials and became the first person in tens of thousands of years!”

“War God Trial?” Li Qing recalled the corresponding information in his mind.

The Battle God Trial was a trial personally set up by the Battle God himself back then. There were a total of nine trials. No one had ever passed this trial before, and it was considered impossible for the world to complete this task.

However, she was approved by Dongfang Xueqing. This was simply a major event that shocked the world. No wonder she was ranked first.

As for her accomplishments, it was also recorded on this list that she had killed a second level Void Realm Barbarian King once, and that she had ventured into the Southern Wilderness alone to fight against a barbarian priest before escaping safely.

“She’s very strong.” Li Qing’s expression was solemn, and he finally met his opponent.

Liu Ke’er said, “Speaking of which, this woman is a Body Refining expert, not a Qi Refining cultivator. It’s really possible that she is that little girl.”

“But this progress is too fast, isn’t it? Furthermore, he even entered the War God Palace. This doesn’t make any sense.”

“Have you forgotten? The Dao of Body Refinement has the possibility to be completed quickly! Isn’t this the case with your Nine Revolutions Divine Elephant?”

Li Qing was stunned. Thinking carefully, it was really like this. Wasn’t his Nine Revolutions of the Divine Idol the best example?

“Forget it, it’s useless for us to guess here. When we see Dongfang Xueqing with our own eyes, won’t we know everything?”
