Chapter 427 Genius List
Liu Yanran put away the smile on her face, and even Shen Nan, who was usually calm, looked extremely solemn.
Yun Chen looked at the two men in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Is this Li Yan very powerful?"
"Very powerful?"
Liu Yanran rolled her eyes helplessly. "He's more than just amazing, he's insane, okay? He's ranked tenth on the Dao Alliance's genius list. He fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Who knows how many geniuses have perished at his sword."
"Daoist Alliance Genius List?" Yun Chen raised his eyebrows. It was the first time he heard of this list.
Shen Nan explained, "The Dao League's members are constantly on the battlefield, clearing out demonic cultivators, exploring secret realms, and battling foreign forces to gain merit. The Genius List is a ranking of merit earned through these life-and-death battles."
Liu Yanran nodded and said, "Although the merit ranking cannot represent combat power, but... those who can rank in the top ten... are all in the Nascent Soul stage, and even the top twenty are all in the Nascent Soul stage. And yet he ranks tenth at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Think about it..."
Liu Yanran didn’t explain what happened next, but the meaning was self-evident.
Yun Chen couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard this: "So strong?"
"Then where do Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Shen rank?"
Yun Chen couldn't help but feel curious.
The corners of Shen Nan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. Liu Yanran beside him said awkwardly, "I'm thirty-eight, and Shen Nan is thirty-seven."
Yun Chen's eyes widened when he heard this.
He hadn't had any direct feeling when they talked about Li Yan just now, but at this moment... he felt the power of Li Yan.
Even Liu Yanran and Shen Nan are only ranked in the thirties, so you can imagine how valuable the top ten are.
"What about Senior Sister Bai?"
Yun Chen blinked and asked again with some curiosity.
If this guy is stronger than Senior Sister Bai, then there's no point in competing and he can just admit defeat.
"Second Senior Sister is ranked fifth. Li Yan can't compare to her."
When mentioning Bai Qingluo, Liu Yanran immediately showed a proud look.
Yun Chen blinked and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, I am not as strong as Bai Qingluo, so I still have the strength to fight.
However, I didn't expect that this second senior sister was so strong that she could be ranked in the top five.
No wonder she was able to seriously injure a Half-Step God Transformation cultivator with a single sword strike before, and even Elder Lei was so polite to her.
"Yun Chen, don't worry... I believe you."
At this moment, Zhao Xiruo on the side suddenly spoke in comfort.
Yun Chen glanced at her and found that she was staring at him seriously. He couldn't help but smile and hugged her in his arms.
"But I don't have confidence. I need some loving encouragement."
As he spoke, he came closer with a pout.
Zhao Xiruo's cheeks flushed slightly, and she tilted her head back to avoid him. She said unhappily, "You are so unruly. There are so many people here."
"What are you afraid of? I'm kissing my own wife, who has any objection?"
As Yun Chen spoke, he lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe.
Zhao Xiruo trembled all over and her face turned even redder, but she did not push Yun Chen away. Instead, she put her arms around his waist.
"Be sure to stay safe, and don't forget, we are going home together."
Zhao Xiruo murmured, her face pressed against Yun Chen's chest, feeling the male hormones emanating from him.
What they didn't notice was that there was an area called "A" not far from them.
Lu Beiyou happened to see them being intimate.
He stared at the two people hugging each other not far away, and at this moment he seemed to be spitting fire.
Especially the way Zhao Xiruo leaned in Yun Chen's arms with a blushing face but dependence was like a poisonous thorn, piercing his heart.
An indescribable feeling of jealousy and humiliation instantly overwhelmed his reason. The knuckles of his fingers gripping the hilt of the sword turned white from excessive force, and a slight "crackling" sound was made.
"Cloud! Dust!"
He almost squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, his voice was low and distorted, full of deep hatred.
Zhao Xiruo was supposed to be his woman, but now he saw her being so intimate with another man with his own eyes. This was more difficult for him to accept than losing to Yun Chen in the ring.
The intertwined old and new grudges made his murderous intent towards Yun Chen reach its peak.
"Just wait... In the qualifying rounds, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
"And Zhao Xiruo, just wait. I will prove to you how foolish your choice is."
Lu Beiyou took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to rush over immediately. He glared at Yun Chen viciously, turned around and squeezed into the crowd, but his back was full of violent aura.
Yun Chen seemed to sense something. He raised his head and looked through the crowd, just in time to catch the resentful glance of Lu Beiyou before he disappeared.
A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't take it to heart.
He's just a clown. If he really dares to use any dirty tricks in the game, he won't mind taking care of him.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xiruo noticed his abnormality and asked softly.
"Nothing, just an annoying fly."
Yun Chen retracted his gaze and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, for you and for Master, I won't lose to anyone in this qualifying match."
His tone was calm, yet filled with unquestionable determination.
At this moment, the deacon of the No. 7 ring of the C-shaped arena read out Yun Chen's name loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Chen let go of Zhao Xiruo, nodded to Liu Yanran and Shen Nan, then turned around and walked towards the ring with steady steps under the gazes of countless people with different meanings.
At the other end of the ring, Li Yan had been standing still for some time.
He was dressed in black, with a stern face and eyes slightly closed, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle around him.
However, the condensed and unexpressed sharp sword intent around him, as well as the faintly emanating bloody murderous aura, seemed to lower the temperature around the ring a little.
He didn't even look at Yun Chen who walked onto the stage, as if it didn't matter who his opponent was.
This extreme calmness and indifference is more oppressive than any arrogant words.
The people watching the fight below the stage, especially those who knew Li Yan's strength, couldn't help but hold their breath.
Liu Yanran and Zhao Xiruo held hands tightly, and sweat broke out on their palms.
Shen Nan also had a serious expression and was fully focused.
On the high platform, the eyes of several big men were cast over again.
"Li Yan is a boy with a strong will and pure sword intent. He is a good seedling." Master Yu Shu nodded slightly, with approval in his tone.
Elder Lei Tong had a blank expression on his face, but a hint of solemnity flashed through the depths of his eyes.
He naturally hoped that Yun Chen could win, but he also knew how difficult Li Yan was.
Pavilion Master Mu Bingyun's gaze was indifferent.
Elder Lingshuang's icy eyes were fixed on Yun Chen, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Leng Hanyue had a blank expression on her face, as if it was none of her business, but if you looked closely, you could see that her hands were slightly clenched and her eyes never left Yun Chen.
Lu Beiyou was just about to go on stage to compete, but when he heard Yun Chen's name, he stopped in his tracks.
When he saw that Yun Chen's opponent was actually his senior brother, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.
"This kid is so unlucky. Looks like... I won't have the chance to kill him myself."
In his opinion, Li Yan was cruel and ruthless, and the enemies in his hands were either dead or disabled, so Yun Chen was doomed.
Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to participate in the next competition.
Of course, Yun Chen was not interested in the reactions of all parties.
He just stepped onto the ring with a calm expression.
Then he turned his gaze to Li Yan opposite him.
