Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 493 The Chosen One Born of the Times: The Sensation Caused by "Sapphire Blue Scale"

Due to time constraints, this update to the "Extraordinary Individuals Ranking" mainly focuses on the top ten, which are the most competitive and receive the most public attention.

Rankings after tenth place will be dynamically adjusted based on regular monitoring data, actual performance, and subsequent growth rate.

[The ranking of extraordinary individuals is now released]

【TOP 1: Ye Xuan】

[Strength Level: Rank 8 (Normal)]

[Abilities: Holder of the King's Power and Hegemony Template, Master of the Dragon Slayer Sword, Master of the Rainbow Sword, Kamen Rider Eternal, Kamen Rider Kabuto, Holder of the Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka, Master of the Fire Armor of this World, Master of the Kirin, Holder of the Rat Talisman among the Twelve Talismans, Summoner of the Shura Armor, Human Form of Ultraman Tiga]

[Commentary: When the wave of spiritual energy revival sweeps across the world, the order of the old era collapses, and the laws of the new era have not yet been established, there will always be beings that emerge in response to the times, using their absolute power and will to define boundaries for the confused masses and anchor the direction for the restless era.]

Ye Xuan's very existence is a constant redefinition of 'humanity'.

The Celestial Pivot Bureau once firmly believed that the so-called "Chosen One" was nothing but a figment of imagination, but this belief wavered repeatedly when faced with Ye Xuan; perhaps, at this critical juncture when civilization faces dramatic change, someone truly will be born in response to the times.

There's nothing more to say about the number one spot on the "Superhuman Ranking"; it can only be Ye Xuan.

However, compared to the last time the list was released, Ye Xuan's normal strength level jumped from "sixth rank" to "eighth rank", and two new abilities were added to his list: "Shura Armor Summoner" and "Tiga Human Form".

"I was pleasantly surprised to see the 'Superhuman Ranking' updated, and even more surprised to see that the Tian Shu Bureau described the ranking information as being determined by the results of battles; but after seeing Ye Shen's information, I felt inexplicably dazed."

"It hasn't been long, but Ye Shen's strength has already increased from the sixth rank to the eighth rank, while the others have only increased from the third rank to the fourth rank. And this is just their normal combat strength, not even counting the power of the treasures of the heavens."

This is what many people think.

They were pleasantly surprised to see the announcement from the Tian Shu Bureau updating the "Superhuman Ranking," especially since the rankings were determined by individual strength and battle results, without considering other factors.

However, after seeing Ye Shen's information, I felt inexplicably dazed.

It hasn't been long since the last update to the "Superhuman Ranking," and the jump from "NO.4" to "NO.10" was merely a change from the third to the fourth tier.
As a result, Ye Shen not only changed from the sixth rank under normal circumstances to the eighth rank, but also obtained the Shura Armor and the power of Tiga; and this was only what was shown.

For example, the "treasures of the heavens" that the Tian Shu Bureau explicitly traded with Ye Shen last time were not shown.

They did not suspect that the "Shura Armor Summoner" was an item traded between Tian Shu Bureau and Ye Shen. In fact, although Tian Shu Bureau had not announced that Ye Xuan had obtained the "Shura Armor Summoner" before, it had not concealed this fact either.

When Lu Fa and others were interviewed after cooperating with Da Xia, they said that the Shura Armor had been taken by a stronger person; this stronger person could not be anyone other than Ye Shen.

"It can only be said that Ye Shen is still the same Ye Shen. His progress never stops for anyone."

"The gap is so large that it makes one not even want to try to catch up."

"Shouldn't a chosen one born of destiny be like this? Ye Shen is a giant born for this era."

"."

They sighed like that, then looked at the second place on the list.

【TOP 2: Zhong Shanhai (Elder Zhong)】

[Strength Level: Tier 6]

[Ability: Holder of the Geo Archon Zhongli Template]

[Comment: Possesses mastery of the laws of rock element, capable of summoning celestial stars to fall; guardian deity of the Great Xia Dynasty; one of only two sixth-tier beings in the Great Xia Dynasty.]

Compared to Ye Xuan, the description of "Elder Zhong" remained largely unchanged from the previous one.

This was expected by everyone.

"Academician Zhong is still firmly in second place."

"His strength level is still at the sixth rank. It seems that even for Elder Zhong, breaking through to the seventh rank will not be easy."

"That's natural. No matter what cultivation system it is, the later you go, the slower the cultivation speed becomes. Every step forward requires a huge amount of time and resources, and may even require a sudden enlightenment."
"It's abnormal for someone like Ye Shen to have no bottlenecks whatsoever, and even for his cultivation speed to increase faster and faster."

"."

People reacted calmly, even with an air of self-assurance.

Although they both considered Elder Zhong and Master Ye to be exceptional, they were also aware of the differences between them.

Otherwise, why would people say that Ye Shen was born for this era? And when people's attention shifted from the undisputed top two to the rankings starting from third place, the atmosphere on the entire internet instantly became heated and tense!
The real suspense, fierce competition, and changing rankings will all begin here!
Everyone held their breath, eager to know how Gu Che, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, Lu Jing, and the others had changed their rankings after the real battle.

【TOP 3: Gu Che】

[Strength Level: Tier 4]

[Abilities: Devil Fruit - Mythical Zoan - Azure Dragon Mode, Sapphire Blue Scales (Fusion), Armament Haki, Observation Haki]

[Comment: He was once bathed in the blood of a mutated dragon and completed the initial leap in his life level in a desperate situation. He awakened and deeply developed the power of the Mythical Beast Azure Dragon Fruit. Later, by chance, he successfully fused with the "Sapphire Blue Scale" from the "Little Carp's Adventure" world, and his abilities underwent a transformation, and his physique and mental strength were sublimated.]

In dragon form, one can not only freely control wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning, influencing celestial phenomena, but also possess a noble and vast dragon might, exerting absolute suppression on low-level mutated beasts and interfering with the minds of powerful individuals of the same level to a certain extent.

The transformation resulting from the fusion of "Sapphire Blue Scales" greatly enhances its strength and spiritual power. Blue-gold dragon scales shimmer on its body surface, and its affinity with water elements reaches an unbelievable level, allowing it to draw upon the power of rivers, lakes, and seas, unleashing a continuous barrage of attacks with astonishing staying power.

Its overall combat strength is formidable, its offensive power is like a thunderbolt, and its defense is like a vast, impregnable fortress, possessing both destructive and regenerative capabilities.

When Gu Che's name appeared in the [TOP 3] position, it instantly stirred up a huge wave!

The previous calm discussion about Ye Xuan and Elder Zhong's rankings came to an abrupt end, replaced by an overwhelming wave of exclamations and disbelief!

"Third place?! Gu Che?! Am I seeing things?!"

"Surpassed Shen Xuan?! How is that possible! Time Ascension isn't that easy to break, is it? Is there really anyone among the fourth tier who can break Time Ascension?"

"Gu Che is ranked third, which means Gu Che defeated Shen Xuan who transformed into Kamen Rider Gantt? But in terms of speed, Shen Xuan shouldn't have lost. Could it be because of his Observation Haki?"

"But unless Observation Haki is developed to the point of predicting the future, in the case of Time Advancement, time is almost stopped. Even if he senses it, what can he do? He just can't react!"

"Could it be the effect of the Sapphire Blue Scale? Speaking of which, things from the world of The Adventures of Little Carp can appear in reality, and it's even the Sapphire Blue Scale. It even formed some kind of connection with Gu Che's Azure Dragon Fruit, causing it to transform."

"Although The Adventures of Little Carp is an animated film, it is also a work of fantasy, so it is normal for it to appear in reality."

"Are the sapphire blue scales from that seahorse? What are they used for?"

"What seahorse? It has a name, Aku, but it really is a seahorse; as for its functions, it can cast spells, break free from control and transform, and release shockwaves?"

"Pretty much. The Sapphire Blue Scale's ability is to grant its holder the power to cast various spells. Aku used it to cast spells such as invisibility and clones. The Three-Clawed Toad also used the Sapphire Blue Scale's magic to turn aquatic animals into entertainment facilities or bewitch them into becoming servants."

"No wonder he can increase his mental strength, he's a mage."

"But Gu Che isn't a mage; he's a pure damage dealer and tank."

"."

If it were just "Armament Haki" and "Observation Haki," many people still wouldn't understand why Gu Che was able to defeat Shen Xuan and reach the top 3.

After all, with Kamen Rider Gantto's ability to "time-up," unless he develops his "Observation Haki" to the point of "predicting the future," he won't be able to react even if he awakens it.

"Time-based acceleration" is not simply about speeding up oneself; it is related to "time" and cannot be dealt with simply by reacting quickly.

However, if we add "sapphire blue scales," and these "sapphire blue scales" are connected to Gu Che's Azure Dragon Fruit, thus triggering Gu Che's own transformation, then it becomes understandable.

Because the ability of "Sapphire Blue Scale" allows the user to master various kinds of magic, it mainly targets mental power. When mental power is improved, Observation Haki will naturally also be improved. He can also obtain magic from "Sapphire Blue Scale" that they do not know.

Perhaps one of them is Shen Xuan, who is able to control the "upgraded" state.

However, the most shocked and incredulous were Gu Che's supporters and those who originally thought Shen Xuan was a shoo-in for third place.

Gu Che's fans are almost all in a state of mixed joy and confusion:
"Che-ge is awesome!!! Third place! I knew Che-ge had unlimited potential!"

"Wait, am I dreaming? Che-ge really surpassed Shen Xuan? This surprise is too sudden! I thought that surpassing Lu Jing and returning to fourth place would be the best I could do."

"Sapphire Blue Scales! It must be because of Sapphire Blue Scales! Brother Che's luck this time is just too incredible!"

"Waaaaah, this longtime fan is in tears! I've been watching from the very beginning of the Battle of Beijing until now, and it's been such a tough journey for Che-ge!"

"What is the Battle to Defend the Capital? The first surge of mutated beasts triggered by the spiritual energy tide?"

"That's right. At that time, Shen Xuan had not yet obtained the Steel Bucket Insect Device. Gu Che was still the strongest person on the surface besides Ye Shen and Zhong Lao. The only people who could compete with him were Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi and Shen Mo."
However, Shen Xuan later gained Steel Dou's approval and consistently ranked third on the list of extraordinary individuals, while Gu Che gradually fell from fourth to sixth.
