The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 465: The First Rookie, the Fame of the City
The Canglongzhou Rookie Ranking is updated regularly every three months. Every time the list is updated, there will be significant changes in the people on the list. Some people are happy to be ranked higher, while others are disappointed to be pushed off the list.

But anyway, in most cases, the update of the rookie list will not cause a stir in the state. At most, it will cause widespread discussion in counties and cities.

Unless someone like Lan Yingjun, who had never been on the list, directly ranked in the top five, or a genius soared to the sky and showed the potential of a peerless genius, it would cause a relatively large-scale discussion in Canglongzhou.

But this time the update of the rookie list was very different. Not only did it cause a great shock within the state, it also set off a huge wave, making the leaders of all the major forces pale in shock. Some small and medium-sized forces were even more horrified, and their shock was beyond words.

The news of the new rookie list update spread quickly throughout Canglong Prefecture like wings. Martial arts practitioners who had not paid attention to the rookie list in the past also began to pay attention to the news on the rookie list in this wave of heated discussions.

"Rookie No. 1! How could it be!?"

Xue Zirou opened her mouth slightly, her bright eyes full of disbelief.

Rough Blade Chen Pingan, with the momentum of killing Wind and Rain Blade Yan Sheng, climbed to the ninth place on the Dragon and Tiger List. No matter opponents or passers-by, everyone was amazed at the talent of Rough Blade Chen Pingan.

Even she couldn't help but sigh at Chen Ping's surprise. Even in her spare time, her mind would still reflect on the family's original proposal.

If Mang Dao had not refused at the beginning, perhaps.
Looking at the colorful flowers all over the yard, Xue Zirou's skirt fluttering and her purple hair hanging down, she also had a hint of girlish fantasy.

Who doesn't want their future husband to be a brilliant genius with extraordinary talent and extraordinary talent? ?
As noble ladies from aristocratic families, they seem to have unlimited glory, but they are also shouldering family missions, and only they themselves know the bitterness and pain involved.

If you can fulfill your own wishes while fulfilling your family mission, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? How wonderful! ?
Every time similar emotions surged, Xue Zirou would feel a trace of resentment and unwillingness in her heart.

Marrying her, getting the support of the Xue family, and having fame and power, wouldn't that be the joy of life! ?
But why.?

She really wanted to ask Chen Pingan in person why he rejected the Xue family's proposal.

Is she dissatisfied with the Xue family's conditions, or is she unworthy?
But no matter what she thought, the marriage had come to an end for the time being. With the current tone of the family, even if Chen Pingan was not a mortal enemy, he was definitely not an ally.

In the struggle for interests, everything is abandoned, let alone Chen Pingan, the reckless sword?
But no matter what their attitude towards Mang Dao Chen Ping'an is, it does not affect their judgment of Chen Ping'an at all.

As early as two days ago, although the rookie list had not been updated, everyone had already assumed that with the power and talent displayed by the Rough Blade Chen Pingan, he would definitely top the rookie list and be ranked first.

but
The name at the top of the rookie list appeared in Xue Zirou's mind, and her expression became more and more stunned, with deep horror in her bright eyes.

First on the rookie list, Gu Qingcheng from the Gu family!

She had extremely complicated feelings towards this woman who had robbed her of all her glory since she was a child. She felt unwilling, disappointed, envious, and also jealous!

It wasn't just Xue Zirou. Many other talented people in Canglong State looked shocked when they saw the latest ranking of the rookie list.

"Gu Qingcheng, the best rookie!"

"what's the situation!?"

“Gu Qingcheng has not yet broken through and entered the Grandmaster realm, how can she be ranked first on the list!?”

"With the status of Mang Dao, he failed to top the rookie list? Absolutely impossible!"

"How can he be number one if he is not yet a Grandmaster and is not on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings?!"

"Gu Qingcheng hasn't made a move yet. How can we judge that she is able to surpass Mang Dao and rank first?!"

"That's right! No record, no realm! How can you prove it?!"

"."

In addition to some voices questioning Gu Qingcheng, there were also many comments supporting Gu Qingcheng.

"What do you know!? The Mingyue Sword Technique that Qingcheng practices is a supreme divine skill. What's wrong with overpowering Mang Dao?"

"Qingcheng has been at the top of the rookie list for many years. What's wrong with suppressing Mangdao now?!"

"Qingcheng has reached the realm of Xuanguang and has practiced supreme magic. She is extremely talented. How can she not be able to defeat Mangdao?!"

"Yes! The skills that Qingcheng practices are much stronger than Mang Dao's Dragon-Swimming Body Skills and Soul-Breaking Sword Skills. With the addition of some protective treasures, it would be easy for her to defeat Mang Dao!"

"."

Of course, these comments were quickly refuted. Compared with the former sentimentality, these rebuttals were more rational, logical, and well-founded.

"So, why don't I see Gu Qingcheng on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?"

The topic of Gu Qingcheng surpassing Mang Dao and ranking first among rookies was widely discussed, quickly sweeping across Canglong Province, and there was a tendency for the discussion to radiate outward.

The crux of the matter that caused such a heated reaction was that Gu Qingcheng was clearly not yet a Grandmaster, so how could he surpass Mang Dao and be ranked first among the rookies! ?

With the fighting power that Mang Dao had previously shown, he was able to overpower ordinary Grandmasters. With such talent and ability, even ordinary new Grandmasters would not dare to say that they could overpower him. Not to mention Gu Qingcheng who had not yet broken through! ?
It is said that Gu Qingcheng also has the ability to fight back across borders, but there is no actual evidence.

Ranking the list is very cautious. In the absence of corresponding performance proof, it is suspected that there is no such thing. At most, there will be one or two notes after the ranking to make possible guesses. But it is absolutely impossible to use this as a reference to rank the list.

Taking all factors into consideration, Gu Qingcheng ranked first on the rookie list, which was undoubtedly too unbelievable.

As the discussion got heated, some people began to question the fairness of the list, suspecting that there might be something fishy going on. But as soon as this view came out, it was quickly ridiculed by many people.

"How dare you think that!? You actually want to question the fairness of the rookie rankings?"

"Hahaha everyone come and look, there's a fool here."

"Each issue of the Rookie List is strictly reviewed by Tianji Building and will only be updated and released after passing a series of evaluations. Ranking changes tend to be conservative, and the rankings on the list can only be underestimated, and it is absolutely impossible to be overestimated."

"How can there be any mistakes in the review and ranking changes of Tianji Building!?"

"You are doubting the Tianji Tower! You really are... Hahaha, so silly and cute."

"."

Tianji Tower is a mysterious organization that is famous in the world but also hidden in the depths of its prosperity.

The intelligence network of Tianji Tower is spread all over the territory of the dynasty. It has extremely powerful intelligence collection and evaluation capabilities. The core members of Tianji Tower are proficient in ancient theories such as Qimen Dunjia, Yin Yang and Five Elements.

It is said that some of the best people in the Tianji Tower can predict the fortune and misfortune of fate, the ups and downs of fate through complicated rituals and precise calculations. What's more, some can even glimpse a trace of the movement of heaven and earth, deduce the outcome of wars, the rise and fall of forces, and
The fate of the dynasty!
Of course, the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked, and these are just rumors and cannot be taken seriously. But in any case, the intelligence analysis and evaluation capabilities of Tianji Tower are recognized by the world. The intelligence information that passes through its hands has almost never been wrong.

On this point, even the Qiankun Division, which has the power of supervision and manages intelligence networks in various places, has to admit defeat.

With keen insight and rigorous analytical ability, Tianji Tower carefully analyzes every piece of information, eliminates the false and retains the true, and finally compiles them into detailed and accurate intelligence reports.

Although Qiankunsi's intelligence collection and analysis capabilities are equally outstanding, the accuracy of its information is often difficult to compare with Tianji Tower.

Looking at the entire dynasty's territory, in this regard, the only one that can compare with Tianji Tower is probably the one directly under the Daqian royal family!

Many outstanding students from the two academies serve there.

Divination, astronomy, divination
All the talents in the world are within our grasp, and we will continue the great cause for another eight thousand years!

Amid the widespread and heated discussions, someone vaguely guessed the truth of the matter. "It turns out that there are people in this world who can do this!"

"Born with sword bones!"

"Gu Qingcheng" was inexplicably shocked and terrified.

"A figure from heaven! A figure from heaven!" Someone looked excited and kept murmuring.

"No. 1 on the rookie list?"

Inside the Beicang Pacification Office, Chen Pingan looked surprised.

He didn't pay much attention to the ranking of the rookie list. However, his subordinates were very efficient and bought a copy of the latest rookie list and sent it to his desk right after it was updated.

With his current martial arts realm, the so-called rookie ranking has long become a game. However, thinking of Wanjun's matter, Chen Pingan still opened it and took a look.

With the Mu family's unremitting efforts and resources allocated to her, Mu Wanjun's martial arts progress was extremely rapid. She had now reached the third level of internal energy and had completed the Tianlin Jiangding.

With the help of the exquisite treasure given by Chen Pingan and An Wan's sword, he was able to resist a hundred moves of the Xuan Guang initial realm without being defeated a month ago.

In the latest rookie list, Mu Wanjun ranked 39th, which was a breakthrough compared to the previous rookie list.

In addition, Mu Feiyu from the Mu family ranked 96th on the rookie list. The Mu family had two rookies, which meant that they were gaining momentum and were on the rise.

Chen Pingan also saw Liu Ziming's ranking. This former Weishui's number one prodigy, his ranking did not improve but declined, and he seemed to be lost in the crowd.

It seems that this arrogant young man of the Liu family has not yet figured out the truth behind this.

Chen Pingan shook his head and sighed, then he no longer cared.

Then, he turned the pages from the middle and saw Gu Qingcheng's name on the first page.

First on the rookie list, Gu Qingcheng.

"Didn't you get first place?!"

Gu Qingcheng's ranking surprised Chen Pingan. He thought that with the strength he showed, he should be able to rank first on the rookie list without a doubt.

But I never thought that the top of the rookie list would be Gu Qingcheng.

He confirmed that Gu Qingcheng had not broken through the barrier and achieved Grandmaster status, and was undoubtedly in the high Xuanguang realm. The records about Gu Qingcheng were still the same as before, without any changes.

Gu Qingcheng has mastered the supreme magic skill, the Moonlight Sword Skill. Previously, he had shown the power of a powerful pseudo-grandmaster. He would understand that Gu Qingcheng could suppress him. But now, his ultimate sublimation sword, the Soul-breaking Blood-crying Slash, has already suppressed the power of an ordinary grandmaster. Why can Gu Qingcheng still suppress him?
Even if he had mastered the supreme divine power and entered the door, it would only be close to or comparable to the power of the Grandmaster. How could he be superior to him?

Chen Pingan was a little strange.

As my thoughts surged, an idea came to my mind.

"Could it be that he has mastered the Bright Moon Sword Technique?"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered with surprise.

Apart from this, there seems to be no other explanation.

With the strength he has shown now, Gu Qingcheng is ahead of him on the rookie list. Even the explanation that he has cultivated the Mingyue Sword Technique to a minor level is a bit far-fetched.

As the supreme magic skill, Mingyue Sword Technique has been cultivated to a small level of success. Although its killing power is not bad, when activated by Xuanguan Realm, it is at most comparable to the strength he has currently displayed.

The ranking of the rookie list has always been rigorous. It is absolutely impossible to rashly rank Gu Qingcheng ahead of him and top the rookie list just because they are equal.

To take a step back, even if Gu Qingcheng's combat power could slightly surpass his, but in the absence of specific results, the ranking list would still follow the logic of seemingly nothingness and rank him first on the rookie list.

but now.
Gu Qingcheng is still at the top of the rookie list.

In other words, judging by the list, Gu Qingcheng could crush him with his current strength. The gap between them was so big that there was no need for the so-called battle certification to determine the winner directly.

Only in this way can it be explained that without the support of key achievements, Gu Qingcheng can still be ranked first among rookies.

The only explanation for being able to achieve this is that Gu Qingcheng has mastered the Mingyue Sword Technique to perfection.

Any supreme skill is synonymous with tyranny. Especially the swordsmanship, which is extremely lethal. If Gu Qingcheng really cultivates this Mingyue swordsmanship to perfection, then as a swordsman, Chen Pingan is indeed not her opponent.

The supreme divine power at the great perfection level, once its secret killing skills are displayed, can probably be comparable to the top level in the early stage of Yuheng.

Ok?
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment.

The Mingyue Sword Skill was indeed powerful, but even so, it could only be said that Gu Qingcheng could defeat him, but he could not completely crush him.

Could it be that.
Chen Ping'an just thought about it and then dispelled the thought in his mind.

With a body in the Xuanguan realm, can one cultivate a supreme divine skill to perfection?
This is possible! ?
How difficult it is to practice the supreme divine skill, not to mention the Xuanguang realm, even the Yuheng master has a hard time practicing it. Every step requires a lot of effort and cost.

As for cultivating a supreme magical skill to perfection?
Even the vast majority of top masters cannot achieve this level, let alone a young girl who is not even a master.

Not to mention whether there is anyone who can achieve this, if there is really someone in the Xuanguan realm who can achieve this level, then he will probably never be able to enter the Grandmaster realm in this lifetime.

At the Grandmaster level, one can break through the Yuheng Pass and condense the will of martial arts.

When the supreme magic skill is cultivated to perfection, the spiritual foundation is so powerful that if one wants to condense it into a spiritual flower, the difficulty of breaking through the realm is completely different from normal circumstances.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
If someone could break through the Yuheng barrier and become a Grandmaster under such circumstances, he would be able to easily compete with the Yuheng mid-stage masters. If he consolidated his realm, he would be able to compete with the Yuheng mid-stage senior masters. With a little practice, he would be able to possess the power of a top Grandmaster!

The future prospects are difficult to estimate.

But this kind of son of luck, born a genius, probably only exists in rumors.

Just appeared within the state, competing with the same era.
It's impossible! It's impossible!

Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head, then put down the book in his hand.

However, just as he withdrew his gaze, the thought that he had just dispelled reappeared in his mind.

His expression slightly faltered as he glanced at the gold finger panel in front of him.

"The body of Xuanguang Realm, the supreme divine power is perfect. The genius of Gu family,

Gu Qingcheng!"

PS: Updating before 3: am is a success. If I keep this pace for a few days, I should be able to update again starting from March.
