Chapter 758: Chapter 756 Qin Beiao, the genius crushing the East ridge!

The figure of Qin Beiao was the first to appear on the projection stone wall, immediately causing an uproar amongst the crowd.

"Who is this person? He managed to traverse the Heavenly Thunder Illusion Realm in just three breaths!"

"He didn’t seek out the Light Gate, but rather forcibly shattered it with a palm strike. His Cultivation strength is utterly astonishing."

"Indeed, we thought that it would either be He Qian or Fang Ji to appear first. We didn’t expect it to be him!"

"Qin Beiao, who is he? I’ve never heard his name mentioned in Tianding City!"

Many warriors quickly pondered this, unanimously deciding that they had never seen Qin Beiao before.

Not to mention seeing him, they had not even heard of him.

With Qin Beiao breaking through the realm in three seconds, Liujing Feng abruptly stood up and declared to all the warriors: this person must be a disciple of our Fist Daoist Courtyard!

This domineering statement revealed Liujing Feng’s intense desire for Qin Beiao.

While all the warriors were still stunned by Qin Beiao and Liujing Feng, the second figure appeared on the stone tablet.

"Another person has broken through, who might it be?"

All the warriors looked towards the second stone tablet.

There, a refined and unconventional handsome man, exuding an air of nobility from head to toe, casually shattered the Thunderbolt with a sword strike, then walked into the Light Gate with a carefree smile.

As this person stepped into the second illusion realm, his name appeared on the projection stone wall: Longqing Feng.

"Who is Longqing Feng?"

"Another nobody, my god, how many geniuses have come to Tianding City for this assessment!"

"One Qin Beiao, one Longqing Feng, so powerful yet they are unknown on the Potential Rankings!"

"These two practically overshadowed the lively geniuses of Tianding City, including Fang Ji and He Qian. They are all being suppressed by them!"

Many warriors exclaimed in surprise.

Upon seeing Longqing Feng wielding a sword, Pei Ji immediately chuckled and said, "This Longqing Feng is a Sword Cultivator. Looking at the entire Miracle Ridge, I am the master of Sword Cultivators in the Sword Art Academy. If this person joins my Sword Art Academy, none of you will argue with me, right?"

"Brother Pei Ji, it seems you’re mistaken. I see that he is elegant and carefree, his Martial Soul must be extraordinary and not something your Sword Art Academy can teach. Why don’t you leave him to us at the Array Dao Temple?" chuckled the high-ranking Elder of the Array Dao Temple.

Pei Ji immediately glared back with a stern expression.

"We at the Dan Dao Courtyard also wish to accept him as our disciple!"

"The Chulong Courtyard can too."

Subsequently, the high-ranking Elders from both the Chulong Courtyard and the Dan Dao Courtyard all wanted to accept him.

Pei Ji glared at the three high-ranking Elders of the Dao academies, unhappily saying, "Since you all want to take him as your disciple, why don’t we wait until after the assessment, then we can see who he’ll choose?"

"I refuse to believe that he, a Sword Cultivator, wouldn’t want to take advantage of the Sword Art Academy’s resources to learn the Sword Art and instead go somewhere else, hmph."

Pei Ji snorted coldly, sitting down again.

Meanwhile, Liujing Feng gave a faint smile, not saying a word.

Following the appearance of the projection stone tablets of Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng,

Very quickly, the figure of Fang Ji appeared on the third stone tablet.

He Qian appeared on the fourth stone tablet.

Yao Feng showed up on the fifth stone tablet.

Bai Xiaoxiao appeared on the sixth stone tablet.

Qi Yao appeared on the seventh stone tablet.

Hua Yuxian appeared on the eighth stone tablet.

But the ninth stone tablet remained static, without a single ripple.

"So Fang Ji only appeared after Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng, I thought he was so arrogant that he would come out first."

"He Qian was originally the top talent and First Sword Cultivator in Tianding City, it’s no surprise that he appeared on the projection stone wall. If he didn’t appear, I would think I was seeing ghosts."

"Yao Feng’s cultivation is only second to He Qian, so it’s natural that he would appear."

"Bai Xiaoxiao was originally ninth on the Potential Ranking. He earned this place by killing a top-tier figure on the Sin Ranking. His cultivation prowess is extraordinary; after all, it’s no easy feat to kill someone from the Sin Ranking."

"It’s surprising to see Qi Yao lagging so far behind, only appearing on the eighth stone stele."

"Who is this Hua Yuxian? What an unknown entity! My heavens, why have so many prodigies appeared in Tianding City this year!"

Upon seeing Hua Yuxian’s three words on the eighth stone stele, numerous warriors wore astonished expressions.

The Miracle Ridge assessment this year was incredibly strange.

During previous years’ assessments, the top ten of the Potential Ranking basically monopolized nine stone tablets and there were barely any changes. This is why the Potential Ranking was considered so high-value.

This year, Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng successively dominated the first two places, even suppressing Fang Ji, who has recently been gaining fame, and He Qian, who was second on the Potential Ranking.

Hua Yuxian was another unknown entity who didn’t have a place on the Potential Ranking, nor was he well-known in Tianding City. She appeared out of nowhere, yet she had the potential to make it onto the eighth stele!

This was absolutely shocking to all and sundry.

"Only the ninth stone stele remains. Who will be the warrior to appear on it?"

"Who knows, strong figures like Xun Hai and Sheng Tianyue, who are on the Potential Ranking, haven’t shown up yet."

"Everyone, it seems like we’ve forgotten about someone."

"Where is Lin Bai, the top ranker on the Potential List?"

"Right? Could Lin Bai, the top ranker on the Potential List, not possess the capability to even make it onto the nine stone steles?"

Astonishingly, many warriors cried out in surprise.

Where was Lin Bai?

Could Lin Bai possibly lack the ability to even make it onto the nine stone steles?

These questions plagued the minds of many warriors.

Crack, crack...

Lin Bai’s figure transformed into a waning shadow as he streaked across. Behind him trailed a series of extremely ferocious thunderbolts that struck the ground, pulverizing the earth and annihilating the lives below.

Looking at the earth and forests being continuously blighted by explosions behind him, Lin Bai’s eyes grew cold.

"If I were hit by those thunderbolts, even if I won’t die, I would lose half my life."

"Where exactly is the Light Gate of this first illusion realm? Why haven’t I found it yet?"

"Additionally, this illusion realm appears endless. I’ve run so long and I still haven’t exited this mountain range!"

Lin Bai wore an incredibly grim expression, zipping about while scanning his surroundings for the Light Gate.

Rumble...

All of a sudden, a net of interwoven lightning appeared before Lin Bai, hurtling straight for him.

"No good!"

Lin Bai’s face changed, immediately drawing his Qingge Sword to strike out a fierce sword blow.

Rumble...

The incomparably sharp sword aura shattered the net of lightning, shaking the skies.

"These thunderbolts are so bothersome!"

With a determined expression, Lin Bai looked back to see thunderbolts continuously charging down from the clouds.

"Is this boundless earth not where the Light Gate is? Is it within... the thunderbolts?"

"The first illusion realm is named Heavenly Thunder!"

"Is facing the Heavenly Thunder the key to passing this realm?"

It dawned upon Lin Bai as he halted his flight, looking up towards the area outside of the Nine Heavens Cloud.

"So the Light Gate has always been above me..."

Lin Bai’s eyes brimmed with an exceptionally sharp light, gazing towards the thunderclouds, seemingly spotting the Light Gate emitting a dazzling white glow.
