“Huh, he died? That’s so weak!”
Just then, Xu Que landed on the ground, looked at Chu Ao’s corpse, and shook his head.
The aces from the Litian Academy wore an odd expression, and they were speechless.
Frankly, Chu Ao was a pro in the Earth Celestial Stage. Although he wasn’t invincible, he was ranked top 20 on the Earth List. However, he had just been hacked to death by Xu Que’s single blow. That made many people have their hair stand on end!
“That dude…I’m afraid the man ranked first on the Human List isn’t as good as him?”
“Psssh, the key is the number one on the Human List is from the Exploding Heavens Faction too!”
“Wow, this is…”
Many aces from the Litian Academy had just begun their discussion!
Bam!
Suddenly, there was a ranking chart showing among the clouds. It was the Heavenly Tripod List.
Xu Que was already familiar with such a sight. He put his two fingers together and wrote his name on the white brilliance in front of him!
Heavenly Tripod List (Human List):
No. 1: Exploding Heavens Faction Is the Strongest Existence
No. 2: Exploding Heavens Faction Is a Soft-hearted Man
No. 3: Xiao Fengyun
No. 4: Chang Huan
…..
“The first on the list is Exploding Heavens Faction Is the Strongest Existence?” Everyone looked at the new rankings and were stunned.
With Xu Que’s single sword attack killing Chu Ao, he was smoothly ranked on the first place of the Human List. He squeezed out the former first place winner, Exploding Heavens Faction Is a Soft-hearted Man.
However, that first place was indeed well-deserved. Those from the Litian Academy were deeply impressed. Even when they were in the Earth Celestial Stage, they couldn’t kill Chu Ao with a single attack!
Finally, when the Thunder Illusion Body took control of the Trap & Kill Array and killed all the aces in the Earth Celestial Stage from the Dingtian Academy and the Zhan Family, the area fell into silence. Xu Que continued his act. He did a fist and palm salute toward the Thunder Illusion Body and said, “Brother that was an awesome feat. You can go elsewhere now and leave the rest to me!”
“All right!” The Thunder Illusion Body nodded and removed the Trap & Kill Arrays. He bolted upward and vanished from everyone’s sight.
Just then, Xu Que looked at Qin Susu, and he smiled and asked, “Younger sister, how was it? Did this count as avenging you?”
“Uh…” Qin Susu was embarrassed and tongue-tied. The current outcome was way beyond her expectations. But it had increased her interest in the Exploding Heavens Faction. After a moment of silence, Qin Susu raised her head and asked in a serious voice, “Tell me, how could I join the Exploding Heavens Faction?”
“Oh, you want to join the Exploding Heavens Faction?” Xu Que was amused.
“Yes, I want to grow stronger!” Qin Susu nodded.
The aces and disciples from the Litian Academy were looking at Xu Que with eager eyes. Apparently, they wanted to join the Exploding Heavens Faction too. It was because it meant that they would grow into stronger people. Even if they had to quit the Litian Academy, they were willing to!
“Ha, ha, all of you can forget it. There are too many stringent and demanding requirements for joining the Exploding Heavens Faction. One of them is that males need to be extremely handsome and females need to be extremely gorgeous. With this alone, none of you can join the faction.” Xu Que stroked his handsome face and laughed.
Everyone twitched their lips. They are judged by appearance? What kind of requirement is that?
Qin Susu refused to accept it. She puffed out her chest and asked, “Am I not pretty?”
“Although you’re pretty, your bust isn’t big enough!” Xu Que responded immediately.
Bust…bust isn’t big enough?
Qin Susu’s expression suddenly changed and she retracted her chest. She stared at Xu Que with great annoyance as she gnashed her teeth in anger! No matter how lively and outgoing she was, she was rendered speechless by Xu Que’s reply. Others also had their eyes wide open. They didn’t expect Xu Que to say such a thing.
Besides, although Qin Susu isn’t big enough, it isn’t small either. Why does the Exploding Heavens Faction have such an odd standard?
“Humph, it’s perfectly all right if the faction doesn’t accept me. Besides, joining the Exploding Heavens Faction may not help me become stronger. And I may even be hunted down by their enemies!” Qin Susu was irritated.
“No, no, no. If you join the Exploding Heavens Faction, you’ll definitely become stronger. Moreover, everyone who joined the faction gets two Celestial Artifacts. See, it’s the pair of Firestorm Wheels under my feet and a sharp sword of Celestial Artifact level.” Xu Que smiled as he flaunted his Celestial Artifacts.
Everyone was shocked when they heard his explanation. They were speculating about that possibility earlier, but now they were shocked to hear Xu Que admit it.
The backing of the Exploding Heavens Faction is too frightening. If you join the faction, you’ll receive Celestial Artifacts. They must have several King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact to be able to produce so many similar Celestial Artifacts!
“No wonder! No wonder they dare to provoke the Equipment Refining Sect. They must have several King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact as their backing. They must have a profound background and a long history!”
“Uh, no, there are only a few King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, and they’re all important figures from the Equipment Refining Sect. Where are the Exploding Heavens Faction’s King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact from?”
“Are you silly? There wasn’t anyone from the Exploding Heavens Faction on the Half List and the Human List. They must have been lying low for several years and only made their appearance now!”
“It looks like the Exploding Heavens Faction is the new power!”
“From their individual power to the resources they have, they’re far ahead of all the forces in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm!”
Many people were shocked. After all, none of the forces could be so generous. If they joined the faction, they would receive Celestial Artifacts. It wasn’t hard to imagine how precious and grand were the cultivation resources they usually received.
“Well, I still have something important to do, so I won’t stay here anymore, good-bye!” Just then, Xu Que was about to leave. He had tested out his own strength and had a better understanding of himself. He had decided to continue the search and exploit other parts of the Waste Realm to enhance and foster a name for the Exploding Heavens Faction.
This time, he wanted to fill up all the spots in the top 20 on the Human List while he was in the Waste Realm. He had to let Jiang Hongyan and the others receive the news that he was in the Earth Continent. If that didn’t work, then he would have to find ways to get to the Heaven Continent!
Qin Susu didn’t keep Xu Que. She looked at him angrily as he left.
After Xu Que disappeared, she smiled, “Humph, when I find Bai Zhantang, I will absolutely have to teach him a lesson. And let him recommend I join the Exploding Heavens Faction. Then I’ll teach that fellow who has offended me with his rude remarks!”
After that, Qin Susu turned her head to a young woman beside her and said, “Junior, what kind of Spiritual Fruit did you say earlier?”
“Huh?” The young woman was startled.
“The one that’ll give you a fuller bust. Didn’t you say it worked very well? Tell me quickly. I’ll eat 100!” Qin Susu inquired.
The young woman heard Qin Susu’s reply and her face got as red as a tomato. These things were said privately between the female disciples. But Qin Susu shouted it out so loudly. How could she not be shy?
The rest of the young men and women were holding back their laughter. They dared not laugh. It was too uncomfortable!
..…
At the same time, Xu Que had bolted somewhere far away. On a mountain peak, he landed again. When he found nobody around him, he took out Chu Ao’s Six Rens Earth Plate. He had studied it along the way. It was very mysterious and abstruse.
On combat effectiveness, although it wasn’t comparable to the sword and other sharp blades, it could instantly set up an Obliterating Spell to kill an enemy—its power shouldn’t be underestimated. The only drawback was the fear of being interrupted by anyone close to him when he was setting up the spell; someone had to protect him.
Chu Ao knew that so he brought along dozens of aces in the Earth Celestial Stage. But he didn’t expect Xu Que to emerge from the ground and snatch the Six Rens Earth Plate all of a sudden.
The most wonderful function of the Six Rens Earth Plate was that it could not only be used for divination, but also search for treasures. It was similar to a feng shui compass.
Xu Que studied it for a while and he injected his Celestial Core Power into it to perceive the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Wherever the Spiritual Qi was strong, the Six Rens Earth Plate would point in that direction.
“Heh, heh, it looks like I’m going to make a lot of money. At the same time, I’ll get my spots on the Human List!” Xu Que smiled and his gaze looked toward where the Six Rens Earth Plate was pointing.
