Chapter 93: Human Race? Just a Joke!
Chapter 93: Human Race? Just a Joke!
Ranking eleventh on the list of prodigies!
This dazzling achievement sent all the prodigies present into a frenzy.
The prodigy list inscribed on the Ancient Stone Tablet was a record of the most outstanding geniuses over the past ten thousand years.
Ranking eleventh was enough to prove Xuan Qingzi's incredible strength!
At this moment, not only were the prodigies present stunned, but even the many elders of the Little Immortal Sect wore expressions of shock.
"It's actually a Variant Body!"
On the Cangyan Continent, apart from the Sacred Body and the Divine Body, there was another special constitution known as the Variant Body.
While the overall strength of a Variant Body was far inferior to that of a Sacred or Divine Body, it excelled in one specific area, often in a terrifying manner.
Two thousand years ago, a great thief emerged in the Eastern Domain, possessing the Variant Body 'Flowing Light Illusion Speed.'
His physical constitution was weak, and his combat power was negligible, but his terrifying speed was unmatched, even by peak Near-Emperors at the Sovereign Realm.
Variant Bodies were rare and mysterious, with each type differing significantly from the others.
No one present had expected that today's entrance examination for the Little Immortal Sect would reveal a Variant Body prodigy.
"Haha, there's actually a Variant Body to cap it off."
The Great Roc King sneered, "Is this the strongest talent you have here?"
"Unfortunately, eleventh on the prodigy list isn't enough!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the many elders present darkened.
A Variant Body was indeed powerful, but it was no match for the ancient Heavenly Roc bloodline.
The Little Roc King's talent was at least enough to secure a top ten ranking!
Now, among the Little Immortal Sect's top prodigies, only one remained, and his aura was still that of an ordinary mortal.
How could he possibly surpass the Little Roc King?
Even though they were reluctant, the crowd sighed inwardly.
"We've lost."
...
On the platform.
"Amazing, almost made it into the top ten."
Seeing Xuan Qingzi return, Su Changqing praised him with a hint of envy.
He knew Xuan Qingzi had great potential, but he hadn't expected him to be so formidable.
"It's no use. With the Little Roc King's talent, he's bound to be at least in the top ten."
Xuan Qingzi shook his head and laughed lightly, showing no worry at all.
What a joke, the one who hasn't shown up yet is still to come.
While he didn't know exactly where Su Changqing would rank, he was certain it would be higher than the Little Roc King.
"Can't even win this?"
Su Changqing glanced at the Little Roc King and frowned, "That's troublesome. With so many of us, we're still outshone by a demon race."
He had no personal grudge against the Little Roc King, but the natural enmity between races meant he didn't want the other side to win.
"Don't worry, there's still you, isn't there?" Xuan Qingzi said with a smile.
"Daoist, don't joke around."
Su Changqing laughed bitterly, "I only made it into the top prodigies by chance."
"Forget about the top ten, I'd be content just to enter the sect smoothly."
It wasn't that Su Changqing was undervaluing himself.
During the climb up the Heavenly Path, the incredible speed of Zhou Yu and Fang Yi had made him realize the significant gap between himself and the top prodigies.
Xuan Qingzi was taken aback by this.
"Relax."
He patted Su Changqing on the shoulder, comforting him, "Go ahead with confidence, who knows, maybe a miracle will happen?"
"On our human territory, will we let a demon race wreak havoc?"
These were just casual words of encouragement from Xuan Qingzi, but they made Su Changqing's eyes brighten slightly.
He had a point!
On human territory, would they let a demon race dominate?
Would the Little Immortal Sect just stand by and watch?
"Perhaps, someone will help me soon?"
Thinking this, Su Changqing looked around, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
At this moment, the praise from the other prodigies hadn't ceased.
To them, ranking eleventh on the prodigy list was already enough to secure victory.
Here is the rewritten chapter with non-English characters replaced with their English equivalents or transliterations:
But a single word from King Xiaopeng froze the smiles on everyone’s faces.
"Are you proud of ranking eleventh?"
A look of disdain flashed in King Xiaopeng's sharp golden eyes.
"Without even receiving the blessing of the Primordial Era, what makes you think you can win?"
His words sent a ripple through the crowd, and everyone's expressions changed.
Not even eleventh on the list of prodigies is good enough?
That means he’s confident he can secure a top ten ranking?
"We have only one left." A prodigy muttered.
Everyone turned to look. Among the top-tier prodigies, only Austin Su, who exuded an ordinary aura, had yet to step forward.
"Can he make it to the top ten?"
They shook their heads with bitter smiles. Even if King Xiaopeng said it, they themselves didn't believe it.
Though they were reluctant, it seemed they had indeed lost.
"Go, give them some confidence."
Sensing the oppressive atmosphere, Master Xuan smiled at Austin Su.
"Wait for me."
Austin Su took a deep breath and strode forward.
But at that moment, a golden streak of light quickly appeared before the stone pillar.
"Huh?"
Austin Su was taken aback. He hadn't even started the test, so why did King Xiaopeng step up?
Unbeknownst to him, Master Xuan's protection and Austin Su's ordinary aura had led King Xiaopeng to believe Austin Su was just Master Xuan's attendant.
Thus, after Master Xuan's test, King Xiaopeng decided not to wait.
"Open your eyes and watch!"
King Xiaopeng's sharp gaze swept the crowd. He raised his hands and stared at the top of the stone pillar, declaring proudly:
"What is a true prodigy?"
With that, he placed his hand on the stone pillar.
Boom!
A torrent of golden light erupted, a more terrifying spectacle than when Master Xuan tested.
"Caw!"
An ancient cry echoed through the heavens, and a pair of indescribable, sky-blocking wings descended from the sky.
Everyone looked up in shock.
In the sky, a massive golden-winged roc spread its wings and soared.
A soul-shaking aura of savagery and ferocity made everyone grit their teeth in resistance.
"Ancient Heavenly Roc!"
An elder of the Eternal Sect looked at the terrifying beast with a serious expression.
"Ha ha ha, see that! This is a true prodigy!"
The world was silent, but King Xiaopeng's Wildly Arrogant Laughter resonated in all directions.
Boom!
The measuring light on the stone pillar began to rise rapidly, even faster than when Master Xuan had tested.
Everyone watched tensely.
King Xiaopeng's performance would determine whether they would lose face today.
But soon, their faces turned pale.
In the blink of an eye, the measuring light entered the prodigy list and continued to rise.
Thirty!
Twenty!
Eleven!
In a short moment, the measuring light had caught up to Master Xuan's ranking.
"Stop!"
All the prodigies roared in their hearts, their forehead veins throbbing.
But the next moment—
Boom!
A ten-thousand-foot glow erupted, and King Xiaopeng broke into the top ten, the entire grand stone pillar radiating brilliant light.
"I can still do more! Keep going!"
King Xiaopeng roared, and behind him, the massive Heavenly Roc emitted endless golden light, crashing into the stagnant measuring light!
...
The world fell silent for a moment.
The measuring light, which was about to stabilize, moved a little more with the impact of the Heavenly Roc's shadow.
And that small movement changed everything—ninth place!
"Ha ha ha!"
King Xiaopeng's golden hair danced wildly as his Arrogant Triumph shook the heavens.
"Human race?"
"Pathetic!"
