Chapter 444: Chapter 445: Heaven, Earth, and Human, The Three Rankings (4th Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

Are there any martial artists who can contend with a saint at the level of controlling wind? Yes!

But in the vast Northern Region, those who can truly be found are few and far between.

Only those geniuses secretly cultivated by the major sects from a young age can achieve this feat.

For someone like Chu Fengmian, who seemingly doesn’t come from any of these major sects, to have reached this point is already shocking.

But after that, no one looked favorably upon Chu Fengmian anymore.

Just now, Lu Mo made his move without any serious effort.

But now, enraged, Lu Mo makes a full-powered attack, and it seems Chu Fengmian has no chance to resist.

"Die for me!"

Lu Mo took a step forward, and his strength surged. All that power concentrated in his palm.

With this palm, he suddenly unleashed countless spiritual powers and fiercely struck at Chu Fengmian.

The power within this palm felt like a great mountain, intent on completely crushing Chu Fengmian, to press him to death.

"Ah, that’s the Lu family’s secret technique, Mountain Pressing God!"

"The power of this move must have reached the peak of a terrestrial martial skill."

"With Lu Mo’s strength, executing this move could suppress even a fourth-layer divine power saint. If one’s strength is slightly weaker, they might be directly shaken to death."

The onlooking crowd’s faces changed dramatically, and they quickly retreated, fearing being affected.

Chu Fengmian raised his head and immediately felt an immense pressure.

It was as if endless mountains were pressing down on him.

In Chu Fengmian’s eyes, there was a hint of scorn as he scoffed.

"Oh? You want to suppress me? Even the sky would break trying to suppress me, let alone the force of mountains! Break!"

Chu Fengmian gathered spiritual power and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar resounded.

In the astonished gazes of the uncountable onlookers, the relentless force of the mountains completely shattered under Chu Fengmian’s punch.

The Lu family’s secret technique, Mountain Pressing God, just like that, shattered at Chu Fengmian’s hands.

Simultaneously, Chu Fengmian launched another punch, ferociously hurling it towards Lu Mo.

Even Lu Mo himself didn’t expect that Chu Fengmian could withstand his Mountain Pressing God.

Faced with Chu Fengmian’s sudden punch, Lu Mo’s face was filled with panic, and without any time to defend, the punch had already smashed into his chest.

"Puh!"

A fist imprint was smashed into Lu Mo’s chest, and he was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.

Defeated.

The genius of the Lu family, the second young master Lu Mo, was defeated just like that.

Utter defeat.

He wasn’t even a match for a single move from Chu Fengmian.

This scene, like a thunderclap, stunned everyone’s hearts awake.

"How is that possible! Lu Mo was defeated."

"Just one move, and Lu Mo was defeated. Just how strong is this person?"

"Lu Mo was already quite renowned in this year’s examinations and likely a contender for the rankings. Now, he’s been utterly defeated."

The countless onlookers stood dumbfounded, staring at Chu Fengmian, completely stunned.

Originally, they thought that Chu Fengmian was simply showing off his strength by facing off against Lu Mo.

Unexpectedly, Chu Fengmian was truly capable of defeating Lu Mo in such a decisive manner. Such strength was akin to the genius cultivated within the major sects.

"Among the newcomers this time, a dark horse has actually emerged."

"Being able to defeat Lu Mo in one move, it seems he must be capable of entering the rankings, perhaps even making it into the top hundred."

"Is this the strength on display for someone within the top hundred of the rankings?"

Hearing the discussions around him, Chu Fengmian thought to himself.

This ranking was also a list within Beimang Academy that selected the ranking of the outer sect disciples.

Usually, through passing assessments, martial artists would become outer sect disciples of Beimang Academy, with only a very few special cases being valued directly by some elders and entering the inner sect.

This possibility was one in ten thousand.

Thus, most martial artists would first become outer sect disciples of Beimang Academy and gradually get promoted to the inner sect.

The outstanding individuals among the outer sect disciples could then enter the rankings, with Beimang Academy holding a martial competition every year.

To determine the ranking by strength.

Those who made it onto the rankings were elites among the outer sect disciples, with lofty status, covering the sky with one hand within the outer sect, and they could acquire countless resources.

Even outside, they were considered significant figures.

However, the ranking was merely the lowest tier, above it were the Earth Rankings and the Heaven Rankings.

Earth Ranking martial artists were Beimang Academy’s inner sect disciples, whereas Heaven Ranking martial artists were the seed disciples of Beimang Academy.

Like Heaven Ranking martial artists, their status within Beimang Academy was likely no lower than that of some elders, possessing great power. Though still disciples, they had already stepped into the upper echelons, holding enormous authority.

Although the strength currently displayed by Chu Fengmian was not one-tenth of his true power, it could only get him ranked around the top one hundred of the human rankings.

The foundation of Beimang Academy was deeper than he had imagined.

Even if Chu Fengmian were to use his full strength, he feared he might only be able to contend with some individuals from the Earth Rankings. As for martial artists from the Heaven Rankings, they were far from what Chu Fengmian could contend with.

Now, in Beimang Academy, Chu Fengmian could not say he was without status, but he could only be considered a minor character. However, Chu Fengmian would sooner or later flatten Beimang Academy.

Chu Fengmian intended to destroy the seven major sects; what was Beimang Academy to him?

"Second Young Master!"

At the entrance of the Black Market, an elder suddenly appeared. This elder, upon seeing Lu Mo collapsed on the ground, his expression instantly changed.

"All of you, out of the way!"

This elder, his Spiritual Power suddenly bursting forth, charged towards Chu Fengmian, sweeping aside the countless onlookers around him.

"This is the Lu family’s steward, Lu Xin!"

"Rumors say that his realm has already reached that of a peak Saint, only suppressing it and not breaking through."

"Such a fierce man has come!"

"We should leave quickly, lest we get caught up in it."

Seeing Lu Xin’s arrival, many surrounding martial artists hurriedly made way, in order not to be affected.

The Lu family’s people, each one of them was extremely arrogant, and Lu Xin’s arrogance was no less than Lu Mo’s.

They did not dare to offend such a fierce character.

"Uncle Xin!"

Seeing Lu Xin arrive, a trace of joy appeared on Lu Mo’s face as he called out loudly.

"Uncle Xin, it was he who injured me!"

As he shouted, Lu Mo pointed at Chu Fengmian.

Lu Xin’s eyes followed Lu Mu’s gesture, looking towards Chu Fengmian and said,

"Young fellow, it’s you who has no respect, daring to injure someone from our Lu family?"
