Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 248: Number One on the Heaven Ranking

A group of people marched mightily towards the center of the woods.

"Hundreds of Blood Blade members all died here, I really don’t know how Chen Fan managed to do it."

"Yeah, his strength is just too terrifying. I feel that if he wanted, he could annihilate our Medicine Sect all by himself without a problem."

"Alright, stop talking about that now. We’re going to have to deal with hundreds of bodies later. I’m afraid we won’t even get a chance to sleep tonight, just thinking about it makes me tired."

...

Qin Xiu also felt troubled, "If it were one or two bodies, it would still be manageable, but hundreds of bodies, this is going to be difficult. We can’t just throw them into the sea, or it would be terrible if it polluted the marine environment."

The Great Elder said, "It’s indeed a headache-inducing problem."

The group soon arrived at the scene of the recent battle.

When they saw the clearing in the middle of the woods, a hundred meters in radius devoid of even a single leaf, with nothing visible but a layer of dust on the ground, they were all stunned.

"Wasn’t it said there were hundreds of bodies? How come... I can’t see any?"

"What kind of methods are needed to make such a scene happen?"

"If I’m not mistaken, those members of Blood Blade must have evaporated from the world in the blink of an eye!"

...

Qin Xiu stared at the scene before him, swallowing his saliva and murmured, "Chen Fan... just what sort of freak are you?"

In the end, the body of Wu Zui, charred to a crisp, was found a few hundred meters away. Over a hundred people left the forest carrying that single body.

...

After two days of seclusion for recovery, Chen Fan emerged to find a sensational piece of news had exploded overseas.

The Blood Blade Organization attempted a stealthy night attack on the Medicine Sect, but the plan failed disastrously, with the entire force wiped out, including 376 members of Blood Blade and their Chief, Yun Tianluo, all perishing at the Medicine Sect.

The third strongest on the Heavenly Ranking, Wu Zui, also died at the Medicine Sect.

This news caused varying degrees of shock among the major powers overseas; none had expected the Medicine Sect to be so powerful it could directly exterminate Blood Blade.

However, soon after, the Sect Master of Medicine Sect, Qin Xiu, personally came forward to clarify the situation. He recounted the events of that night in detail, emphasizing that the Medicine Sect played no part in the annihilation of Blood Blade—it was the work of a single young man who had slain all the members.

Considering he did not have Chen Fan’s permission, Qin Xiu did not dare to disclose his name and instead told the public that the young man who had wiped out the Blood Blade Organization was called Master Chen.

Suddenly, the name Master Chen spread to every corner overseas, and within just one day, countless versions of his story were woven and disseminated among the major forces abroad.

At first, people were skeptical that a man in his twenties could single-handedly kill hundreds of experts, including the second and third on the Heavenly Ranking. However, it didn’t take long for the dark web to respond and confirm the truth of the matter.

At the same time, a new Heavenly Ranking was posted on the dark web, with Master Chen proudly placed at the top!

The enchantress Shangguan Yu, who had dominated the number one spot for many years, had fallen to the second position.

Enchantress is a code name given to Shangguan Yu by the various overseas powers, because of her incredibly demonic performance. At just over twenty years old, she had suppressed the various overseas powers to the point where they couldn’t raise their heads.

No one knew the origins of Shangguan Yu, nor did anyone know her true strength. What everyone knew was that in the overseas regions, upon encountering the Enchantress, fleeing was the only option left.

Whether Master Chen or Shangguan Yu was stronger or weaker, no one knew. Still, the rankings in the Sky List were sorted based on the combat abilities demonstrated by the various masters.

The last time Shangguan Yu made a move, she defeated Yun Tianluo in three moves and topped the Sky List.

And this time, Master Chen single-handedly annihilated the second and third-ranked individuals on the Sky List, as well as several hundred elites of the Blood Blade Organization. His apparent combat power was obviously higher than Shangguan Yu’s; thus, he was placed in the first position.

Being number one on the Sky List bestowed absolute significance among the various overseas powers. In an instant, everyone wanted to befriend Master Chen, to get in good terms with this suddenly famous genius, lest they unknowingly offend him and lead to their Sect’s destruction. That would be tragic.

Unfortunately, no one could find Master Chen, and Qin Xiu also refused to reveal any information about him to the outside world, much to the disappointment of the various powers.

The news of Master Chen’s fame overseas also reached the Capital in a very short time.

Mu Family.

In a tranquil courtyard.

Elder Si was diligently practicing.

As he trained, he also murmured to himself, "Chen Fan’s talent is indeed amazing; he has surpassed me in such a short time. But the slow progress in my strength is due to a serious injury many years ago that never fully healed. Now that my body has recovered and I have so many years of accumulation, my strength’s improvement should not be slower than that young man’s. It shouldn’t take long for me to break through to the seventh level of the Transformation Realm, which isn’t too shabby."

At that moment, Su Qingyan ran over with urgency, "Elder Si, I’ve just received some news from a friend. Please take a look."

Elder Si stopped and smiled at Su Qingyan, asking, "What news? You seem so anxious. Is it about that Chen Fan again?"

Su Qingyan said, "Not this time. It is news from overseas. Just have a look."

Elder Si took Su Qingyan’s phone and quickly browsed the information on it, which was about Master Chen single-handedly wiping out the Blood Blade Organization, along with a third-ranked individual of the Sky List.

The more Elder Si read, the more astonished he became, his eyes widening.

Su Qingyan spoke up, "Elder Si, do you think this Master Chen... could be Chen Fan?"

Elder Si categorically stated, "Absolutely not!"

Su Qingyan was startled, "Why not?"

Elder Si explained, "Chen Fan’s talent is indeed extraordinary, but the strength he demonstrated not long ago was only at the seventh level of the Transformation Realm. If he has already grown to the point where he can single-handedly kill two masters of the ninth level of the Transformation Realm, that would be too shocking."

And if this Master Chen really was Chen Fan, where would I put my old face? He added in his mind.

Su Qingyan immediately looked downcast, saying, "Well then, I was hoping that since Master Chen is also in his twenties, maybe it was Chen Fan. It seems it was just a coincidence."

Elder Si nodded, "It’s definitely a coincidence. Although I hope Chen Fan grows up fast, we can’t indulge in such fantasies."

Suddenly, Su Qingyan asked, "Elder Si, what if Master Chen really was Chen Fan? What would that mean?"

Elder Si laughed heartily and replied, "If Master Chen really were Chen Fan, then he would have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with the Mu Family. Even your grandfather would no longer be able to look down on him like in the past, eh!"
