Chapter 189: Chapter 17 Gua! Sword Tomb Wan Yi, Astonishing Wisdom! (Second Update, 5K Completed, Support Requested!)_3

...

Sure enough, it was the same as before.

Gu Pan chuckled, having grown quite accustomed to nestling in her aunt’s soft embrace and watching her play with her smartphone.

"Let me think, what name should I pick to showcase the elegance of a Gu’s disciple..."

Suddenly.

Just as Gu Pan was contemplating this.

She saw a flurry of snowflakes drift across the screen.

Followed by that, right at the top of the screen, past the pinned post "Human Transcendent Alliance," a series of gilded bold letters lined up, appearing out of nowhere as if written by an invisible hand, forming an announcement that could be clicked on to enter the comment section:

[Amidst the chaos, tears of gratitude, Qingyun’s talented youth take another step forward!]

[In late November, within the Eastern Combat Zone, a Demon Chosen sneaks into the human realm, intending to wreak havoc. Warrior Gu Pan, undaunted by difficulties, steps forward, avenging her kindred’s spilled blood, and securing livelihoods for the common people! With lightning speed, she bravely repels the enemy, killing the Unclean with three punches, demonstrating extraordinary strength and boundless potential!]

[The slums are swept by chilling winds, Divine Chosen weep in praise of the valiant returning!]

[Qingyun List rankings updated, newly crowned in glory!]

[404th place: Muscle King—Gu Pan!]

Thump thump thump~~

The bold font crashed directly into Gu Pan’s heart.

Almost at first glance, she was sure, this guy couldn’t be anyone else, he had to be Xu Shu!

He’d climbed up to 404th place on the Qingyun List so quickly... no, he must have been there before, and this was just an update. He kept improving, such an incredible feat.

As expected of my student, with such battle achievements, he truly upholds my dignity, hiahiahia

Wait a minute...

Hold on a second!

Gu Pan’s eyes immediately fell on that bizarre ranking title.

Muscle King?

What the fuck kind of ugly ass title is that, it’s too...

Gu Pan’s scalp practically exploded.

That global announcement only stayed up for a very brief few seconds.

So, it vanished from the top in an instant.

But it didn’t disappear completely.

Instead, it appeared right below the pinned post, with the number of comments skyrocketing. Gu Pan was still pondering over this peculiar title when she already saw the comment count: 999+

"No, this can’t be right... He was using my name..."

Gu Pan’s face turned pale, she harbored some doubts but still couldn’t resist clicking in to see.

Upon looking.

The screen was filled with "hahaha," and "Bro, add me!"

Comment section:

"Ahahahaha fuck, there’s actually a title called Muscle King!"—Anonymous.

"Big! Muscles! King! Feeling so secure, Brother Gu Pan, add me!"—Sucked into the Air, Second Order Witch

"Brother, look at me!"—Also Pink Today, First Order Nun

(Gu Pan: Added, please accept.)

"What’s this? Only a few days and he’s on the list again? Check private messages, need to talk. Also, watch out for the nuns."—Xie Xiaochan, Second Order Seven-Colored Taoist.

(Gu Pan: Got it, looks good, keep posting more, and keep on training!)

"Why did you delete me last time? Did I do something wrong, little sister?"—Feifei Global Can Fly, Second Order Fallen Nun

(Gu Pan: You’re too expensive.)

"I was deleted too, when did you add me? Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said those things about you, I just wanted you all to myself, add me back, love you, mwah."—Anna, First-tier veterinarian

(Gu Pan: I don’t care for your kind of profession.)

"People of faith do not speak lies, if Gu Pan the layman is willing to befriend me, let’s forge a bond right here, what does it matter if I leave the secular life for you?"—Swinging Unsteadily, First Rank Buddhist Nun.

(Gu Pan: Sorry, sister told me to watch out for the nuns.) (Private message: Secret.)

"True to Gu Pan, good brother, Iron Armor Barbarian Bull, strong! Subterranean Rhinoceros, tough! Muscle King~ Both big and hard!"—Sprinkle Screws Loosely, Second Order Guardian.

(Gu Pan: Okay, okay, okay, thanks for the compliment, brother, I, Muscle King Gu Pan, can take it!)

...

"Not?"

"You fucking?"

"You were such an asshole on the promotion network?"

Gu Pan’s eyes were bulging out, feeling like it was her first day knowing Xu Shu.

Her heart was even more furious as she read Xu Shu’s replies, cursing up a storm.

Endure my ass!

You endure your mother’s ass!

It’s my name you’re using!

Can’t you consider my reputation?

You fucking can’t act like this!

"Beast! Beast! Beast, ahhh! You’re not allowed to speak about me like that!"——

[Hint: Sending failed, please level up to 12 first.]

Seeing the pop-up reminder, Gu Pan cried.

Really, she had never felt this sad before, not even when she accidentally exploded a blue Curse Seal.

Damn it, Xu Shu, you dare tarnish my reputation!

And these people, damn it, daring to mock me, let’s see what stuff you’re made of?

Gu Pan glanced over, then compared with the nicknames she knew.

Oh, this person seems to be a genius from the Qingyun List, heh, just a bottom-dweller ranked over 400...

This one I remember is a True Disciple from the Female Void Palace, top hundred on the Qingyun list?

This looks like a candidate Saintess from the Holy Hall, what’s with acting like some electronic roast chicken?

Fuck, a Xuankong Temple’s world-traversing contemporary? This nickname used to be Third Tier, did he shed his Third-tier Curse Seal to start over?

And this one, turns out to be from Buzhou Mountain’s Banshan Warrior~ and this one, this one... I’ve seen this one before...and lots of anonymous ones...

Damn, why does it feel like his comment section is full of big shots...

Gu Pan’s face, initially filled with murderous intent, softened slightly.

But she still felt as though her face was burning with pain.

No, no, this won’t do... the name Gu Pan, I can’t use it for now... I can’t let it be discovered...

She couldn’t stop Xu Shu from causing mischief online and ruining her "Gu Pan" reputation, so she chose to hide herself.

Clicking the ’nickname’ field behind her name, after hesitating for a moment.

You’re all laughing at me, huh... With tears in her eyes, Gu Pan became fierce and forcefully wrote down three characters:

Jun! Mo! Xiao!

"Ha ha! Drunken in Changsha, no one laughs, of those who went to battle in the past, how many return?"

Writing these three words filled Gu Pan with a surge of high spirits.

In this apocalyptic world, the Human Clan is in decline, dangers lurk everywhere, and beneath the seemingly calm everyday life, killing formations are everywhere!

A moment of carelessness, even those powerful figures from the Human List or Earthly List could face a demise with both body and path obliterated!

Let alone these youngsters from the Qingyun List? Who knows, they might die any day now.

So what of geniuses? This world has no shortage of them!

Strength! Only strength matters!

What is strength? She looked at her Epic entry (Sword Tomb Wan Yi) and let out a chuckle.

This, this is true strength.

Gradually, her mind became tranquil, her thoughts settled down, her spirit became lively, insights clear, thoroughly enjoying the sensation—a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

Heh, a bunch of young fools who know nothing about the world!

Even if you mock or deceive me for a while, what does it matter?

It’s but a bit of fleeting hardship.

Me, I am a super genius with an Epic Curse Seal. If one day I fulfill my lofty aspirations, who would dare to say that Gu Pan isn’t man enough?

Now I may not be famous, but one day, I, Gu Pan will punch my way up the Human List, stomp on the Earthly List, and wield my sword to carve my name into the Heavenly List, restoring the might of the Gu Family, indeed.

Hehe, all the people of this world will await the birth of this epoch-making prodigy with eager anticipation and unease in their hearts!

Ancestors~ I’m coming to restore your glory, quack!
