Chapter 789 Investigate John Doe!
Before this, what John Doe said on Yangshan Mountain might have been engraved in everyone’s heart, but they would not habitually recall that they could not threaten his relatives and friends as soon as the name of John Doe was mentioned.
Simply put, although John Doe defeated Luo Qingcheng and Yu Yuanhao at that time, he was still not powerful enough in the eyes of the Wulin people.
Even if John Doe had destroyed the Luo Yin Sect and defeated Diwu Qian, the status of John Doe in Wulin was far from enough to make the people fear him.
But it was different now.
After defeating Yun Yangzi, John Doe’s combat strength surpassed that of a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian, which meant that he was close to being a guru!
He was such a genius with his terrifying strength. It was impossible for people in Wulin not to remember him.
What was even more terrifying was that John Doe’s growth speed was remarkably fast.
How long had it been since he defeated a Martial Superior while he was at the peak of the martial arts practitioner?
In the blink of an eye, he was close to the Guru Realm!
Being powerful would make people feel intimidated. But having great potential was the key factor to achieve this.
This kind of genius was either killed directly or never provoked!
With the victory of this battle, not only the onlookers. but all the people of Wulin, sects and major forces clearly knew that when they encountered John Doe in the future, they had to weigh the consequences carefully.
In the center of the field, Fang Qiu had finished what he wanted to say, so once again he cupped his fists at everyone and said, “So long!”
After that, he walked down the mountain leisurely like an ordinary man.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.
Looking at his determined, straight, leisurely and debonair back, people could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
In front of this person, they felt great pressure.
It was not about strength, but his exceptional talent.
“It’s time for me to leave as well.”
After John Doe left, Yun Yangzi turned his head and smiled at the eight geniuses led by Diwu Qian. He raised his hand to make a fist salute to everyone and stated, “From now on, I’m no longer No.1. I can finally leave this title to others, haha.”
He gave a bright smile and then strode forward, leaving the place.
Even if he lost, people were still gazing at him.
Yun Yangzi had made extraordinary achievements in this life. Even if he lost one match, no one would consider him weak, nor would they despise him.
Every time they thought of him, their first impression of him would still be that of a genius from the Pear Garden, a remarkable master at the peak of the ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian and a leading figure of the younger generation!
Admittedly, this battle was the highest-level competition in Wulin in the past hundred years, which indeed astonished everyone.
These two geniuses were both peerlessly exceptional!
“The wine has been drunk and all the dishes are finished.”
On the peak of the mountain in the east, after drinking the last cup of wine, the white-bearded old man who was a bit tipsy, stood up and said leisurely, “This dish is good, which is worth savoring.”
“Haha.”
Diwu Qian’s father also got up, drank the last cup of wine, and said, “I haven’t had such a good time in a long while.”
“They’re gone. It’s time for us to leave.”
The middle-aged man beamed.
While they were talking, the four people glanced at each other, and then the three of them floated away.
In front of the stone table, there was only a middle-aged haggard woman. She still had a beautiful face.
“They are really two wonderful people.”
The middle-aged woman slowly lifted the wine cup on the table in front of her. She sighed softly and gently took a sip. Then she rose to her feet and muttered, “I don’t know who can match them in the future.”
As she murmured, with a lift of her toes, she drifted away like a fallen leaf.
At the peak of Luo Yin Mountain, the people who were recalling the amazing battle also left, one after another.
Meanwhile, the outcome of the battle soon spread to the Wulin forum.
“In the battle for the No.1 place, Yun Yangzi was defeated!”
“The top genius of Wulin Genius List has changed. John Doe is the victor!”
“The battle has come to an end. The winner is John Doe!”
There were several posts released in a row on the Wulin forum.
The appearance of each post would attract massive attention.
Even if the content of each post was the same and people already knew the result, they still attempted to find the details they were expecting in every post.
All kinds of shocking comments quickly flooded the various posts.
“The winner is John Doe?”
“What the f*ck! John Doe is really a dark horse!”
“How is this possible? How could Yun Yangzi lose?”
“Isn’t John Doe only a seventh-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian? How could he defeat Yun Yangzi, a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian?”
“Did Yun Yangzi go easy on him?”
“I was there. Yun Yangzi definitely did not go easy on him. He has tried his best, but unfortunately, he lost in one move!”
” I was also at the scene. John Doe’s strength is so terrifying, especially his last move, the Great Hand of Destruction. Even Yun Yangzi himself thought that John Doe had shown mercy on him. If that’s the case, how powerful will this move be had he gone all out?”
“I can’t believe it. John Doe has only risen up more than a year ago. How could he be so powerful?”
“Oh my God, as I thought about it carefully, in over a year, John Doe became famous on the List of Martial Superiors and ranked top on the list. Apart from that, he actually shifted his attention to the Wulin Genius List. How long has it been until he got the first place on the Wulin Genius List?”
“He’s really unstoppable!”
“John Doe, who exactly is he?”
In the blink of an eye, everyone began to return to the topic that they were most curious about when they followed John Doe.
Not only the vast number of martial arts practitioners, but all the forces in Wulin began to search frantically for John Doe’s identity. In the past, after a little investigation, they gradually forgot about it. But this time, no force would stop, for John Doe’s performance this time was too horrifying.
A seventh-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian defeated a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian. This was a super battle crossing two classes!
How did John Doe manage it?
What kind of cultivation method did John Doe practice?
All the major forces in Wulin were eager to find this information.
Undoubtedly, the first thing they needed to do was to find out John Doe’s real identity before they got this information.
Who exactly was he?
Four Great Families, all the martial arts sects, and the forces began to investigate crazily. In addition to the searches on the Internet, there were also plenty of people who used their connections to look for John Doe in the public security system. There were even people who went around the country to look for him, held photos of John Doe, and asked around if anyone knew him.
On the Wulin forum, the List of Martial Superiors, which had not been updated for a long time, was finally updated again with the end of this great battle.
“List of Martial Superiors has been updated.”
“John Doe has entered the top 300!”
“I remember last time when John Doe slew Outer Mongolian, his ranking was still in the 788th place, wasn’t it?”
“Did he get promoted past 400 people in one go?”
“What the f*ck. So awesome?”
“He rose so fast.”
After someone’s reminder, people went to check the List of Martial Superiors.
As expected, they found that John Doe directly soared to the 298th place on the List of Martial Superiors, and Yun Yangzi, who ranked first on the Wulin Genius List, was now at the 29th place on this list!
As they clicked on John Doe’s ranking to have a look, they found this.
John Doe.
Strength: Seventh-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian.
Combat capability: the peak of the ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian.
Record: Defeated Yun Yangzi in the Luo Yin Mountain battle!
Background: Unknown.
As expected, the information recorded on the List of Martial Superiors was almost the same as what everyone knew.
However, many people were stunned.
“I always thought that Yun Yangzi was already a top master in Wulin. John Doe who beat him also reached the peak. But when I saw the List of Martial Superiors, I then realized that there were so many people who were more powerful than John Doe.”
“Young man, you are still too young.”
“To be honest, I didn’t notice that there are so many bad*ss ranked ahead of John Doe in Wulin.”
“Yeah, I didn’t notice it either.”
“Over two hundred people stronger than John Doe? Damn it. Are they all immortals?”
“Any one of them can destroy a mountain, right?”
“I suddenly feel so safe. Who would dare to offend our country? These 297 seniors can join forces to kill them!”
“Haha, those masters don’t care about the affairs of the world. Besides, it’s not just our country that has powerful warriors. For example, there are also martial arts practitioners in Outer Mongolia, and so too with the other countries.”
“It seems that John Doe’s advancement can’t be stopped at all!”
After going down the mountain, Fang Qiu directly used the identity of Lin Yu to get on the high-speed train back to Jiangjing. Anyway, the information of the identity he used to take public transportation, including the surveillance in the street, the station, and the airport, would be completely erased in the first place.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
In the car, just as Fang Qiu was about to close his eyes to have a rest, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.
It was He Gaoming.
Fang Qiu answered the phone, “Hello?”
“Master, you’re awesome!”
He Gaoming’s excited voice sounded and he said, “You’re freaking awesome. Even Yun Yangzi was defeated by you. You’re invincible!”
“I’m hanging up!”
Without thinking, Fang Qiu hung up as soon as he heard that.
He Gaoming was baffled.
No sooner had he hung up, when his phone rang again.
Fang Qiu thought it was He Gaoming. When he was about to hang up again impatiently, he suddenly saw the caller ID on the phone. It was Long Qiyun!
Fang Qiu answered the phone, “Hello?”
“Master.”
Long Qiyun’s agitated voice came from the other end of the line. “Congratulations, you’ve risen to the top of the Wulin Genius List and become the leader of the younger generation in Wulin. I’ll have to rely on you in the future.”
In Wulin, all the forces’ crazy investigations about John Doe lasted for a whole day and did not end yet.
The strange thing was that not one person among the major forces could find out John Doe’s background after a whole day of investigation, let alone knowing his background.
The only thing they could find was a name—Lin Yu.
Other than that, there was no other information.
It made the people of all the major forces puzzled. How could a person’s information be hidden to such an extent? So many people participated in the investigation, but they only found a name with an utterly blank background.
This was too suspicious!
