65: Why are you saying such unpleasant things, you annoying little brother

Eternal Heaven Hall.

As Chu Tian, accompanied by Chu Yunshang and Hui Mei, stepped into the Eternal Heaven Hall, he saw the hall packed with a dense crowd.

Inside the hall, hundreds of Sect Disciples were crowded outside the Refining Spirit Hall and the Combining Body Hall, their eyes filled with shock, and occasional gasps of cold air could be heard.

“The younger generation of the Cihang Holy Sect in this era is simply too prodigious.”

“Holy Maiden Hui Lian, who has dominated the Combining Body Ranking for two years, and the Prodigy Hui Mei, who has dominated the Forging Bone Rankings for many years—if not for the Little Holy Son’s sudden emergence, their positions would be unshakeable. Now, they have even taken over the Refining Spirit Ranking.”

“After the Little Holy Son broke through to the Refining Spirit Realm and left the Forging Bone Rankings, among those under the God Realm at eighteen years old, none of the four major rankings belong to our Saint Heaven Sect. This is an unprecedented humiliation in ten thousand years.”

“I think Holy Maiden Hui Lian’s goal is to re-enter the top spot on the Combining Body Ranking and surpass the Little Holy Son. She has failed twice already, and this is her third attempt, isn’t it!”

“The Little Holy Son is truly a Prodigy. With just his record as the top in the Body Tempering Realm, he firmly holds the first position on the Combining Body Ranking, causing Holy Maiden Hui Lian to fail twice.”

In the Eternal Heaven Hall, voices filled with shock, reluctance, and regret were heard, along with praise for the Little Holy Son Chu Tian.

At this moment, a thunderous exclamation suddenly erupted from the Refining Spirit Hall:

“He’s already ranked first on the Refining Spirit Ranking, having killed over 3,600 Phantom Dream Fiends, yet Lin Jie is still not satisfied with his performance and has re-entered the testing space.”

“Ten seconds, 675 Phantom Dream Fiend Vicious Beasts! My goodness, that’s a hundred more than last time in the same amount of time.”

“These Prodigies from the Cihang Holy Sect are simply despair-inducing; each time they manage to be stronger than the last. How are they cultivated?”

“Why has our Saint Heaven Sect’s generation become so weak below the God Realm?”

Chu Tian looked up and saw that the name at the top of the Refining Spirit Ranking had changed to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie, Cihang Holy Sect’s alternate Saint, Refining Spirit Seventh Level, mental cohesion 70, killed 3,640 Phantom Dream Fiend Vicious Beasts in one minute.

Behind his name, time digits were constantly flickering. In just twenty seconds, he had already killed over 1,300 Phantom Dream Fiends.

And Ye Guilong of the Ye family, who was originally ranked first on the Refining Spirit Ranking, had been pushed to second place, and was significantly outstripped by Lin Jie, having only killed over 1,900 Phantom Dream Fiends in one minute.

It was no wonder that the Eternal Heaven Hall had suddenly attracted so many Sect Disciples to observe. It should be known that Ye Guilong was almost the only remaining face of the Saint Heaven Sect before Chu Tian’s appearance.

As the Saint Heaven Sect is recognized as the strongest Sect on the Hengtian Continent, the four Realms below the God Realm are almost mandatory rankings for Prodigies under eighteen years old, signifying a Sect’s future potential.

However, among the four major rankings, only Ye Guilong barely held the first position on the Refining Spirit Ranking, and his advantage was not significant. It was not on the same level as the Cihang Holy Sect’s overwhelming lead on the Forging Bone Rankings and Combining Body Ranking. After Chu Tian broke through to the Refining Spirit Realm, he was no longer on the Forging Bone Rankings, and now even the only remaining face on the Refining Spirit Ranking was lost.

Chu Tian had information about Ye Guilong in his memory because Chu Tian King had praised him more than once, and he was the grandson of Ye Hongwu, who was forced to commit suicide.

Chu Tian didn’t pay too much attention, because in the original plot, the most important figures of the Ye family were Ye Feng and Ye Fan.

Other than these two, even a Prodigy at the top of the Refining Spirit Ranking wasn’t worth his time and attention.

As for the Cihang Holy Sect, only the two Prodigies, Hui Mei and Hui Lian, were noteworthy. This Lin Jie was merely a supporting character, someone who would be instantly killed by Ye Fan with a single punch in the original plot.

Chu Tian glanced at the Combining Body Ranking; that strong-willed, icy woman still held the first spot by a wide margin, yet she was determined to claim the top position on the Combining Body Ranking. She was frantically killing Scarlet Flame Golden Crystal Leopards in the testing space, and her records were being refreshed repeatedly. She had now killed 5,700 in one minute, directly doubling the score of the second-place holder.

It should be noted that Ye Feng, who was ranked sixth, had only killed 367.

It seemed that if she couldn’t reclaim the top spot on the Combining Body Ranking, this woman wouldn’t leave the Eternal Heaven Hall today.

“This annoying ice mountain is too abnormal; her strength seems to have no upper limit.” Chu Yunshang looked at the Combining Body Ranking and complained, “Little Tian, although Big Sister has never challenged the Combining Body Ranking, I don’t know what rank I could achieve, but I probably can’t compare to this Prodigy.”

Chu Yunshang had a good mindset and was quite an optimist. She quickly composed herself and, after leaving Holy Emperor Peak, resumed her lively demeanor. Upon learning from Hui Mei that her little brother had punched Ye Wen to death, she widened her eyes in surprise, hugged Chu Tian, and kissed him wildly, proclaiming that she would reward her brother handsomely.

Along the way, she kept asking Chu Tian how he had beaten up Ye Feng in the Holy Sky Pool to vent her anger, constantly waving her fists in satisfaction, indicating that Chu Tian was indeed her good brother and had not disappointed her doting affection.

Chu Tian smiled faintly and turned to comfort Chu Yunshang for a few moments. He didn’t expect his Big Sister to be able to compare with Holy Maiden Hui Lian right now. Perhaps when Ye Feng breaks through and ignites his divine flame, transforming into a murderous demonic weapon, allowing his Big Sister’s Saint Bone to undergo Nirvana and be reborn, she might have a chance to compete with Holy Maiden Hui Lian.

“Big Brother, it’s this Lin Jie who keeps pestering Cousin. I’ve warned him several times, but he won’t listen, and he even followed her here to the Saint Heaven Sect. Give me some more time to break through a few small Realms in the Refining Spirit Realm, and I’ll tear off his tiny little prick.” Hui Mei scratched her shiny bald head vigorously, looking at the Refining Spirit Ranking and speaking through gritted teeth.

“Oh my goodness, 4,200 Phantom Dream Fiend Vicious Beasts.”

At this moment, the numbers on the Refining Spirit Ranking froze, and numerous Disciples continuously exclaimed, looking at the ranking with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Meanwhile, on the Combining Body Ranking, Lin Jie’s ranking also jumped to tenth place, entering the top ten of the ranking and becoming one of the most watched Prodigies under thirty years old in the Hengtian Continent.

From the golden giant stone in the Refining Spirit Hall, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, dressed in a blue patterned robe with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, walked out.

“Ye Guilong, there’s no need to waste time testing. There’s no comparison between us at all.”

Lin Jie spoke lightly to a black-robed boy beside the Refining Spirit Hall, then lifted his foot and walked towards Chu Tian.

“You must be the Saint Heaven Sect’s Little Holy Son Chu Tian.”

Lin Jie glanced at Hui Mei, then said casually to Chu Tian, “Let me introduce myself. I am Lin Jie, the alternate Saint of the Cihang Holy Sect. Next, I will be studying the Heavenly Dao Eye with Senior Sister Hui Lian by your side for a period of time. Don’t worry, my Lin family will not treat you unfairly and will give your Chu family sufficient benefits and rewards.”

His tone carried a faint arrogance, though not as overbearingly arrogant as Hui Mei’s, which made people grit their teeth in hatred. It had a condescending, superior air about it.

It was as if his ability to Cultivate with Chu Tian was an honor for the Chu family.

Upon hearing his words, before Chu Tian could speak, Chu Yunshang said with great dissatisfaction, “Little brother, why are your words so unpleasant to hear? You like to talk to yourself, don’t you? My brother hasn’t agreed yet, and does my Chu family lack your paltry benefits?”
