Chapter 410: Crazy Accumulation on April 11

The new "Ten Owls" are out!

As soon as the ranking was announced, it spread throughout the martial arts community of China.

From the first to the last Owl: Huangfu Jun, Feng Jian, Luo Tie, Chen Taiji, Li Futu, Meng Pengxiao, Wang Shuisheng, Tang Yao, Fang Yizhou, Ye Qiu!

The most attention, of course, went to the first Owl. Huangfu Jun had been occupying the top spot in the Ten Owls and up till now, nobody had managed to dethrone him. He was truly the talk of the town.

The positions of second and third place had switched, with Feng Jian reaching second place.

As for this year’s rising young martial artist, it was none other than Chen Taiji. From someone outside the Ten Owls, he fought his way to the fourth spot, leaving everyone in astonishment.

The second most surprising was Li Futu, who climbed to the fifth rank, jumping over four spots and also becoming a hot topic.

The entire martial arts community of China was discussing the Ten Owls, and soon, some were shocked to find that Ye Qiu, who had been watched closely at the martial arts conference, was ranked tenth. "This doesn’t make sense," they murmured. "He had defeated ten Owls in a row, he should at least be in the top five. How did he suddenly drop to tenth? It was baffling."

"The final ranking is based on merit points; Ye Qiu’s position in tenth must mean he has very low merit points," someone said.

"Don’t you know Ye Qiu has yet to return? His merit points are zero; that’s why he was placed tenth," another interjected. His words immediately drew the attention of those around, because many of them had only attended the martial arts conference. They were unaware of the details regarding the final ranking of the Ten Owls, so their ignorance was understandable.

"You’re saying Ye Qiu missed the deadline for ranking?"

"Yes, among the Ten Owls, all except for Ye Qiu returned to the martial arts community to tally their merit points. Only Ye Qiu has yet to appear."

"Does he not care about the ranking? This is about honor!"

Many couldn’t understand why Ye Qiu would miss the Ten Owls’ ranking. He had participated in the martial arts conference, so why miss the final step?

Sighs of pity were heard as many people felt sorry for Ye Qiu. Then someone sneered, "Do you really think that someone of Ye Qiu’s strength would end up at the bottom?"

"Oh? What do you mean, brother?" The eyes of those around him turned inquisitive as he continued, "You’re all mistaken. There’s a reason why Ye Qiu hasn’t returned to the martial arts community. Are you aware of the big event that happened recently in the West?"

"A major event in the West? What does that have to do with Ye Qiu?" Many were somewhat aware of news from the West but couldn’t see how it related to Ye Qiu.

Seeing the confused looks on many faces, the man went on, "The sss-class strong fighters Adam and Ju Lu perished recently. You haven’t heard of this, have you?"

"sss-class strong fighters? Who are Adam and Ju Lu?"

The man willing to clarify saw their perplexed expressions and sighed. They knew so little; they didn’t even recognize sss-class strong fighters.

"Alright, I’ll give you a brief overview. Besides the martial artists in our community, there are also strong fighters overseas..."

...

It was only after this that many in the martial arts community came to understand why Ye Qiu had not returned. He had accomplished so much, including slaying strong fighters from the West. Though his whereabouts were currently unknown, his strength far surpassed most of the Ten Owls. Don’t be fooled by his tenth-place ranking; even the top three among the Ten Owls had to be wary of Ye Qiu.

More and more people in the martial arts community began to discuss Ye Qiu, speculating whether he was stronger or weaker than Huangfu Jun, and the debates became quite spirited for a while.

Some senior martial artists sighed that this was the first time a final-ranked contender received such anticipation and even stood shoulder to shoulder with the top-ranked contender.

Regarding Ye Qiu being ranked tenth, some senior martial artists also had opinions, but since the man himself, Ye Qiu, did not show up, they could only count him as having zero merit points.

Thus, this was also the first time that people questioned the ranking of the top ten contenders.

And as the main character of the incident, Ye Qiu had no idea that the martial arts community was in an uproar because of him.

With Bai Xiong, a high-level martial artist, as his sparring partner, Ye Qiu’s strength underwent significant changes.

In the eyes of the malevolent mysterious person, Bai Xiong’s strength was so-so, but in Ye Qiu’s eyes, Bai Xiong was not someone he could handle yet, as their strengths were qualitatively different.

To better hone Ye Qiu, Bai Xiong reduced his power to the peak of True Qi realm under the watchful eye of the malevolent mysterious person, and Ye Qiu began to spar with Bai Xiong.

Bai Xiong’s power was profound, and even though he was holding back, using just the strength of a peak True Qi realm martial artist, he still exerted considerable pressure on Ye Qiu.

Bai Xiong was disdainful at heart, if it weren’t for the malevolent mysterious person, he would have slapped Ye Qiu to death long ago, instead of being his sparring partner. But for the sake of his own life, he had no choice but to tolerate it grudgingly.

At first, Ye Qiu had a hard time affecting Bai Xiong and was unable to hurt him in the slightest without using his killer moves.

Ye Qiu didn’t stop practicing; having such a good sparring partner, he didn’t waste any time and began to train after half an hour of digesting his food.

On the first day, Bai Xiong was distracted and dealt with Ye Qiu’s attacks casually, but by the second day, Bai Xiong had to focus his attention when facing Ye Qiu’s attacks.

On the third day, Ye Qiu managed to force Bai Xiong to move back, and by the seventh day, Bai Xiong had to bring out the power of half a step into the legendary realm!

Bai Xiong’s perception of Ye Qiu had greatly changed. He had watched Ye Qiu’s rapid progress, a person who was not previously taken seriously by him had improved so much in just a few days that Bai Xiong even felt a bit envious of Ye Qiu.

After every sparring session, and over the course of one night, Ye Qiu would make his moves more and more straightforward. Whether it was flaws in his techniques or weaknesses in his body and mental state, they would disappear without a trace the next day.

This ability to nurture his talent through battle was what shocked Bai Xiong the most. He now believed that it wouldn’t be long before Ye Qiu broke through to the legendary realm.

The malevolent mysterious person, who seldom spoke and maintained a cold demeanor, would offer a few words when Ye Qiu had questions, but other times he was mostly silent.

The malevolent mysterious person saw Ye Qiu’s growth with his own eyes. Ye Qiu hadn’t noticed the look of satisfaction in the eyes of the malevolent mysterious person; otherwise, he would have been stunned.

After half a month, Ye Qiu had become considerably tanned, but his muscles were firmer, his skin had a bronze hue, and he exuded a robust beauty filled with power.

Bai Xiong, who had been a sparring partner for half a month, was surprised by Ye Qiu every single day. Ye Qiu’s rapid growth made him increasingly astonished; how could there be someone with such exceptional talent in this world.

In Bai Xiong’s eyes, Ye Qiu was someone even crazier than he was. No matter the time of day or night, as long as he had strength left in his body, Ye Qiu would ask him to practice. From the initial attacks made by Ye Qiu to having Bai Xiong attack now, all these changes shook Bai Xiong deeply.

In no more than five years, no, in no more than three years, there will definitely be another young legendary realm martial artist in the world!

Bai Xiong had no doubt about this, and that person would surely be Ye Qiu.

How profound Ye Qiu’s accumulation of strength was, even Bai Xiong could not estimate; he just felt that Ye Qiu became more formidable and difficult to deal with day by day.
