Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 279 Happy

2032 7 Month 11 Day.

Longshou Town.

Ji Fuyou didn't invite many people to his Martial Saint advancement celebration.

Apart from Xie Yusheng, Xue Changfeng, and others with whom they had some connection, the rest were all backed by the Martial Saint's forces or were extraordinary individuals connected to the Martial Saint.

As for the rest, not to mention Su Zhen and Jiang Yubai, even Ji Qingqing was not included in his invitation.

After all, he couldn't guarantee that no one would cause trouble at the celebration.

There weren't many people invited, but quite a few uninvited parties showed up.

Those nearby include members of the Spiritual Abilities Association and Martial Arts Association of Haizhou, Qingzhou, and Xizhou, while those further afield include Princess Turing of the Kingdom of Kaya.

Although the Kingdom of Kaya is a small country and has just experienced turmoil, it is still a sovereign state.

A princess from a nation came to congratulate a newly crowned martial saint...

In the eyes of many, this was no longer a congratulatory gesture, but rather the Kaya royal family trying to climb the social ladder by associating with Ji Fuyou, the newly crowned Martial Saint.

Things had come to this point, and Ji Fuyou had already openly convened the Martial Saint Celebration. Even if He Jinglan, Yun Mengqing, and the others found it hard to believe, they already had a premonition.

The news of Ji Fuyou becoming a Martial Saint...

It's probably true.

Therefore, He Jinglan, Wu Rendi, and Feng Yulou, the three members of the Third Council, used the pretext of congratulating Ji Fuyou to personally rush to Longshou Town to investigate the truth of the matter.

On the President's side, he also sent Qi Lingyun, a spiritual master who had made a deal with Ji Fuyou, with gifts to investigate the matter.

As for the Fourth Speaker's side, it was led by Yun Mengqing.

However, the gloom on the face of this spiritual master never dissipated on his way to Longshou Town.

He looked like he had lost both his parents.

……

Knowing the true significance of the banquet, Ji Fuyou, Fang Qiyun, and others did not hold a grand celebration.

On the lawn of a manor not far from the entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, this banquet was held, which was rather meager for a martial saint's status.

A mountain is not sacred because of its height, but because of the immortals who dwell there.

The banquet wasn't particularly luxurious, but not many people were there specifically for the food and drinks.

Ji Fuyou understood this as well.

He didn't hold many ceremonies. In fact, when Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren, who were in charge of the reception, informed him that the main guests had arrived, he made his entrance without any attempt to conceal himself.

When he appeared, Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, Fang Qiyun, Xiao Hanxue, Guan Yue, Liu Zhixuan and others followed closely behind.

This scene……

This caused quite a few people to feel secretly alarmed.

"Master level!? Ji Fuyou already has so many master level martial artists around him!?"

"I'm from Chuzhou. I know that President Liu Zhixuan. He's been famous among the senior martial artists for many years. It's not surprising that he became a master-level martial artist. It's not surprising that the geniuses on the Heavenly Ranking like Yang Kaitai could achieve such results. But what about Guan Yue? Don't I know what level he's at? How could he become a master-level martial artist?!"

“Times have changed. In the past, martial arts improvement required a master to teach you step by step. But in today’s extraordinary world, as long as you have enough source crystals and inheritance crystals, why worry about not being able to comprehend the Gang Jin and become a master? In this way, the most important thing to achieve something is to follow the right person. With the right person, source crystals will be bestowed upon you, and even a master level that seems like an insurmountable barrier will be within your grasp! These people have undoubtedly followed a good captain.”

Various murmurs arose from the crowd.

Everyone looked at Yang Kaitai and his group with surprise and envy.

The saying "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" perfectly describes this situation.

This scene undoubtedly touched Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian the most.

They could be said to have watched helplessly as one by one the people around Ji Fuyou were cultivated to the same level as them.

Think of the hardships and near-death experiences they endured to become master-level martial artists...

The two are already considering whether to resign from their current positions and dedicate themselves to working for Ji Fuyou from now on.

after all……

It's perfectly normal for a master-level martial artist to pledge allegiance to a martial saint.

Others who find out will not only not feel ashamed, but will be deeply envious.

"Master-level martial artists...so many master-level martial artists."

Among the crowd, Turing of the Kingdom of Kaya was filled with emotion.

A master-level martial artist, powerful enough to almost single-handedly overthrow the regime of the Kingdom of Kaya.

The reason why the Kaya royal family was able to quell the rebellion so quickly and regain control of the Kaya Kingdom is because of the existence of Rhodes, a master-level martial artist.

Through several battles to quell rebellions, Rhodes's dominant strength as a master-level martial artist made her realize why master-level martial artists are considered pillars of strength in many countries.

However, in Dragon Head Town at this moment, there were dozens of master-level martial artists who would be considered pillars of strength in the Kingdom of Kaya.

Among them are many spiritual masters who single-handedly destroyed a country.

Even the masters around Ji Fuyou numbered no less than two hands.

This scale...

This made Turing realize the profound impact of the small kingdoms like the Kingdom of Kaya...

No, the Kingdom of Kaya is no longer a small country. With a population of 3100 million and a land area of ​​18 square kilometers, it is already considered a medium-sized, or even a medium-to-large, country.

Even as a medium-to-large-sized nation, Kaya still lags far behind the Great Shang Federation, which is hailed as one of the four poles of the world.

Any force randomly selected from the Federation could easily overthrow the Kingdom of Kaya.

"Thank you all for gracing my Martial Saint ascension celebration."

Ji Fuyou's voice, without the need for a microphone, easily carried throughout the entire banquet hall.

"The environment in Longshou Town is simple, and I don't have much to offer you. Considering your potential, it's only a matter of time before you all become Martial Saints. So I'll talk to you about the difference between a Martial Saint and a Master-level Martial Artist, so that you can have a better understanding of the Martial Saint realm."

The difference is said to be a distinction, but in reality, it is to prove that he has indeed been promoted to Martial Saint.

Everyone knows this.

He Jinglan, Wu Rendi, Fengyulou, Yun Mengqing, Qi Lingyun, and others understood this, as did Zhang Luocheng, Xie Yusheng, Xue Changfeng, and the representatives sent by King Pingdeng and King Taiyang.

At that moment, everyone focused their attention.

"Martial arts training is a process of constantly strengthening and exploring one's own potential. However, as carbon-based life forms with flesh and blood, the structure of humans limits the limits of human strength."

Ji Fuyou's voice echoed in the arena: "The carbon-based structure means that no matter how much we train our bones, we cannot withstand a weight of more than ten tons. No matter how tough our skin is, it cannot withstand the burning of flames at several hundred degrees. Even a master-level martial artist cannot resist swords and bullets with his flesh and blood alone without relying on protective strength."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "To go further, the only way is to optimize one's own structure, break free from the shackles of life, and evolve towards a higher form! And the most crucial, the most core force driving this evolution..."

The next moment, a visible pale red force field was released directly from Ji Fuyou's body.

The moment this force field emitting a faint red light appeared, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Even though He Jinglan, Wu Rendi, Feng Yulou, Yun Mengqing, Qi Lingyun and others had a premonition over the past few days that Ji Fuyou dared to hold a Martial Saint celebration, and that he might actually become a Martial Saint, when their guesses actually became reality and were presented to them, they still couldn't control their expressions and emotions!
"Life field!?"

"A Martial Saint's life force field?! That's impossible!"

"How could this be?! It's only been a short time! He actually... has already entered the Martial Saint realm and cultivated a life force field?! Is there no justice in this world?!"

At this moment, the scene visibly became chaotic.

Countless people have lost their voice because of this.

Countless people were shocked and exclaimed in astonishment.

Wu Rendi and Yun Mengqing couldn't help but lean forward and take a few steps.

It seems that only in this way can we see the mystery of the life force field more clearly.

Ji Fuyou did not stop the screams and chaos in the field in the slightest.

His gaze swept over He Jinglan, Feng Yulou, Wu Rendi, Yun Mengqing, Qi Lingyun, and others.

They watched with great interest the changes in the expressions on the faces of the group.

Especially the way Yun Mengqing's pretty little face looked with her mouth unconsciously open...

It looks really good.

Pleasant to the eye.

He Jinglan...

Although he's a bit old, the shock in his eyes seems to pierce the soul...

It’s also quite interesting.

The remaining ones are Fengyulou, Wu Rendi, and Qi Lingyun, who seemed confident during the recent transaction that he had no choice but to side with the President...

The changes in his facial expressions were all very impressive.

Ji Fuyou wanted to clap his hands in encouragement.

There will be a reward, everyone will be rewarded.

Of course, these people were all wealthy and powerful, and probably wouldn't care about the meager rewards he offered. So, the thought of rewarding their wonderful performance only crossed his mind and he didn't actually say it aloud.

He simply said, "You are all right, this is the life force field!"

He maintained the oppressive force of his life force field on non-Martial Saint level life forms: "It is both the core of a Master-level martial artist's advancement to Martial Saint and the most prominent symbol of Martial Saints!"

The oppressive force of the life force field and Ji Fuyou's voice that resonated throughout the venue finally brought the many guests, who were deeply shaken, back to reality.

"Martial Saint! Martial Saint! Martial Saint!"

Yun Mengqing kept repeating those two words to herself, almost grinding her teeth to powder.

In his heart, he wanted nothing more than to scream and roar: "How could this be? How could he become a Martial Saint?!"

But Ji Fuyou deliberately shifted his gaze to her at this moment: "Miss Yun is right, I am the Martial Saint."

One sentence was so powerful that Yun Mengqing almost vomited blood.

I felt my throat was hoarse, as if all my words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say a single word.

I'm so angry I'm developing breast hyperplasia.

"The Martial Saint, really, he's achieved it."

Compared to Yun Mengqing's envy, jealousy, and hatred, Wu Rendi suffered an unprecedented blow at this moment.

The Martial Saint realm that he had so desperately sought was achieved so easily by Ji Fuyou, which left him, who prided himself on his exceptional martial arts talent, feeling utterly dejected.

And He Jinglan...

He did his utmost to guard his mind and prevent himself from losing control further.

Yet the surging emotions still felt like a raging fire burning inside him, preventing him from finding peace.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou's voice rang out again.

"Thank you all for coming to my Martial Saint Celebration Banquet. Now..."

He waved his hand and announced with a smile, "Let the feast begin! Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content!"
