Chapter 384: Chapter 247: Little Monkey Scooping the Moon!

Inside the Star Disc, Tang Fei wore a black combat uniform, his bearing both heroic and suave, like a cold sword amidst breeze-swept bamboo.

Shen Xinglan, on the other hand, was clad in white, with a long sword at his waist, gentle as jade, graceful to the extreme.

As the old saying goes, to look fetching, dress in filial piety.

Shen Xinglan had taken the pure white to the extreme; even women of stunning beauty couldn’t match him when they donned white.

Tang Fei looked at Shen Xinglan and felt that the more he saw him, the more annoying he became.

Only the top clans from above New Star could produce offspring as handsome and composed as him, back in the Old Land... they would have been devoured alive by those predator types and high-ranking members of the Flame Society.

Thinking this, Tang Fei couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his rear.

Noticing that Tang Fei’s gaze kept sizing him up, revealing a constipated expression that was hard to discern, Shen Xinglan looked over in perplexity and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing in particular," Tang Fei responded cheerfully, "It’s just a long journey, and I wanted to chat with senior brother."

"What would you like to talk about?"

"What realm are you in, senior brother?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Just curious."

"Ruyi," Shen Xinglan answered plainly.

"Ruyi high grade?"

"Ruyi high grade."

Tang Fei sighed and said, "Ruyi, Ruyi, content and satisfied. Senior brother truly is a once-in-a-century Cultivation genius. At nineteen, you’ve already reached the high grade of Ruyi Realm, no wonder you dominate the Blue List. Even teacher, such a figure, went to your house personally to take you as a student..."

The words Tang Fei spoke were definitely sincere, although he had already told countless lies to Shen Xinglan.

He was genuinely envious of Shen Xinglan.

Ran Ran, their teacher, had just reached the threshold of Ruyi Realm at thirty-two, and they had a grand celebration with hot pot.

Even so, teacher Ran Ran was extremely satisfied, her joy nearly brimming over.

From her tone, she wouldn’t have any regrets even if she stayed at this level for the rest of her life.

Shen Xinglan, at nineteen, had already achieved Ruyi high grade.

Just one more step, and he would be a Grandmaster.

Such rare talent signifies great achievement in Martial Arts.

Beneath one person, above tens of thousands.

As for the Great Grandmaster, that is a legend, a figure among deities.

Everyone knew that stepping from Ruyi Realm to Grandmaster Realm was extremely difficult, akin to a hell mode in a challenge.

Countless Cultivators dart around in Ruyi Realm, unable to cross that threshold for their entire lives.

However, if that challenger was Shen Xinglan, people felt that perhaps it wasn’t such a difficult feat...

The Phoenix people believed it was only natural for Shen Xinglan to enter the Grandmaster Realm; not advancing would be even more bizarre.

What intrigued everyone was whether he would set a new record by stepping into Grandmaster Realm at the youngest age...

This person was the Child of Destiny in the story, garnering the world’s attention and the nation’s adoration and hopes from the day he was born.

Enabling him to become a Grandmaster, a Great Grandmaster, to become the guardian deity of this nation.

Just like his teacher, Xuanyuan Mingjing.

That was also why the nation went crazy when he alone with a sword took on several opponents from Os...

"Merely empty fame, what’s the significance?" Shen Xinglan always remained humble and cautious, he said aloud.

"Besides, you are also a disciple of a Great Grandmaster. When it comes to climbing the ranks on the Blue List, who could surpass you?"

Currently, Tang Fei was ranked ninety-seventh on the Blue List; that is, within less than a year, he had battled his way up the Galaxy List’s Blue List, advancing vigorously from the tail-end rank of over four hundred into the top hundred.

In terms of fierce momentum and swift ascent, indeed very few could compare.

Hearing Shen Xinglan’s words, Tang Fei was secretly pleased and asked, "Senior brother, when did you first enter the list?"

Shen Xinglan thought for a moment, then replied, "At seven."

"Seven?"

"It was my first time going out to an event, and the media took a photo of me. Then, I was included on the list."

Dumbstruck, Tang Fei uncertainly asked, "Just because of a photo?"

"Just because of a photo."

Heir of the foremost of the nine major families, Shen Family, childhood friend of the princess, Martial Arts genius, fair and delicate...

These were all reasons for his inclusion on the list.

Since he was already heartbroken, might as well let himself give up completely.

"What rank was senior brother at his first listing?" Tang Fei pursued.

"The tenth," Shen Xinglan said.

"Entered the list in the top ten?"

Shen Xinglan’s demeanor remained easy-going, as if discussing something trivial, "I’m not sure of their ranking criteria; perhaps just because I am the direct grandson of the Shen family... basking in the family’s glory."

"..."

Although Shen Xinglan was simply stating the facts, to Tang Fei, it sounded like a boast.

Tang Fei thought, perhaps this is the origin of the saying "judging others by one’s own measure."

He felt truly petty.

After a brief silence, Tang Fei turned to Shen Xinglan and said, "People like you are born with everything. You have wealth, you have power. At nineteen, you’re already at Ruyi high grade; maybe next year, or even tomorrow, you’ll become a Grandmaster..."

"Senior brother, having everything, does that mean you have no more expectations in life? No more goals?"

Shen Xinglan’s gaze deepened as he looked at Tang Fei and countered, "Is that enough?"

"Is that not enough?" Tang Fei exclaimed, asking, "What else does senior brother want?"

With a sudden seriousness and a fire burning in his eyes, Shen Xinglan declared, "I want to become the number one Martial Arts master Above the Galaxy."
