Chapter 1301: The Genius Among The People

Shock!

Not only were the two subordinates wide-eyed in astonishment, but even Yu Wen Qian Yue's eyes showed a hint of surprise!

They never expected that An Shi Xuan, who had considerable cultivation, would have his limbs broken by someone. This arrogant and domineering young master from a prominent family had actually been humiliated?

This matter was truly unexpected.

What was even stranger was that a tough character like An Shi Xuan had been defeated by a new disciple. It was simply unbelievable.

Since when did the outer sect have such a powerful new disciple?

Yu Wen Qian Yue frowned slightly, unable to resist asking again.

"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

The two subordinates were also shocked, their eyes fixed intently on the disciple who had come to report.

The disciple in the hall, with a nervous expression, recounted what he had seen and heard.

"Reporting to the Esteemed One!"

"According to many disciples, a mortal star cultivator recently moved into Luoxia Heavenly Mansion. An Shi Xuan took a liking to that celestial mansion and wanted to claim it for himself. After a dispute, they fought, and An Shi Xuan was beaten so badly that his limbs were broken. He has now returned to his mansion, severely injured!"

A mortal star cultivator?

Such a background, and a new disciple at that, yet he was able to crush An Shi Xuan?

What an extraordinary talent and combat prowess! A rare elite seedling indeed!

Listening to the report, Yu Wen Qian Yue's beautiful eyes sparkled with interest.

The other two, however, were wide-eyed, especially when they heard the words "Luoxia Heavenly Mansion." They couldn't help but speculate and tentatively asked,

"Could it be..."

"What is the name of that mortal star cultivator...?"

The disciple who had come to report immediately responded, his voice resonating through the hall!

"According to the records, his name is Yi Feng!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two were already wide-eyed, their faces a mix of surprise and shock, their complex expressions clearly showing excitement!

"Yi Feng?!"

"It really is him!"

Hearing the excited words of the two and noticing their thrilled expressions, Yu Wen Qian Yue also felt a great sense of shock, though her expression now showed some discomfort.

She had misjudged...

Although it wasn't entirely her fault, she had indeed underestimated that mortal star cultivator named Yi Feng.

This was a seedling far superior to An Shi Xuan, and she had almost missed him due to her momentary prejudice. Looking back, she would surely regret it.

Thinking back to how the two had repeatedly tried to persuade her, yet she hadn't changed her mind, Yu Wen Qian Yue felt increasingly awkward.

After a few moments of silence, she couldn't help but ask again.

"Was it really the mortal star cultivator Yi Feng who injured An Shi Xuan?"

The disciple who had come to report responded with a firm tone.

"Reporting to the Esteemed One, it was indeed Yi Feng. This matter is absolutely true and has already spread throughout the various celestial mansions."

After repeated confirmations, there was no doubt.

Yi Feng was indeed a rare genius seedling!

The two who had been listening were already feeling a sense of vindication, but out of respect for Yu Wen Qian Yue's authority and dignity, they held back their excitement and waited quietly.

At this point.

Yu Wen Qian Yue no longer had any doubts and finally responded calmly.

"This Esteemed One is now aware of the matter."

"Disciples sparring with each other may sometimes result in injuries. There's no need to make a fuss. Let this matter be put to rest."

Her seemingly calm words actually gave Yi Feng a great deal of face. For Yu Wen Qian Yue to show favoritism and suppress this matter was to tacitly acknowledge Yi Feng's status as a genius, and it also meant she admitted her own mistake.

The words of a great figure often carry deep meanings, not easily understood by ordinary people.

The two who were quietly waiting were no ordinary individuals and immediately understood the underlying meaning. They quickly clasped their fists in response, feeling both honored for Yi Feng and secretly pleased that such a genius had been recruited to the island.

"The Esteemed One is wise!"

The messenger also left wisely, not daring to say another word.

When there was no one else around.

Noticing the respectful and expectant looks of the two, as well as their hesitant expressions, Yu Wen Qian Yue had already seen through everything and casually responded.

"There's no need for you to say more."

"Since this Yi Feng has considerable talent, this Esteemed One will not let such a talent go to waste. He shall be given a spot on the Heavenly Ranking. I hope this mortal star cultivator understands our intentions and achieves great things in the future."

The two were overjoyed upon hearing this and bowed deeply, their eyes filled with emotion.

"Thank you, Esteemed One!"

"We will definitely inform Yi Feng and have him remember this act of promotion!"

A spot on the Heavenly Ranking was extremely precious. Even on an island filled with prodigies, not everyone could hope to be listed, let alone a mortal star cultivator. Once listed on the Heavenly Ranking, one would receive focused training, with resources and treatment that were unimaginably generous.

Such an unprecedented event was enough to shock countless disciples.

This act of generous promotion, even for them, was a great honor, and they felt immensely fortunate for Yi Feng.

Within half a day.

In front of the massive statue surrounded by the celestial island, a hundred-zhang golden ranking list appeared, with the names of various prodigies gradually being revealed, eliciting gasps of admiration.

Although everyone had a rough idea of who might be listed, and the results were not too surprising, witnessing such glory was still enough to awe all the cultivators.

At this moment, they were not just witnessing the rise of prodigies, but they might also be witnessing the emergence of a future legendary powerhouse!

Since ancient times.

Countless renowned powerhouses had started their illustrious journeys by being listed on the Heavenly Ranking!

As the names of the famous prodigies were mostly listed, the excitement and fervor of the onlookers gradually subsided, leaving only an indescribable sense of envy as they stood quietly, gazing up at the Heavenly Ranking.

Suddenly.

The already subdued atmosphere became even quieter.

On the golden, shimmering ranking list, a very unfamiliar name appeared—Yi Feng!

Instantly.

The thousands of cultivators around were struck with astonishment, with only a few from the outer sect widening their eyes in shock!

After a brief silence, the area in front of the Heavenly Ranking erupted with exclamations of surprise!

"Yi Feng?!"

"Who is this? I've never heard of him!"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but this person is a newcomer to the outer sect. It's said he comes from a mortal star, so not many people know about him yet."

"A mortal star cultivator actually made it onto the Heavenly Ranking?!"

The exclamations of surprise lasted only a few moments before gossip and heated discussions led to a wave of admiration!

"Haha, who said a mortal star cultivator can't make it onto the Heavenly Ranking? Fellow Daoist Yi previously defeated An Shi Xuan, even breaking his limbs. With such talent, isn't it only right for him to be listed on the Heavenly Ranking?!"

"Is this true?"

"Many in the outer sect witnessed this, and it has already spread widely today. How could it be false! The fact that An Shi Xuan hasn't shown his face since is solid proof!"

"Good heavens..."

"A mortal star cultivator actually crushed An Shi Xuan. This young man's talent is truly terrifying!"

"Who said there are no prodigies from mortal stars?!"

"Fellow Daoist Yi is mighty, his monstrous talent well-deserved!"

...

After a round of heated discussions, Yi Feng's reputation soared on the Heavenly Ranking, his fame unmatched for the moment!

As night fell.

Discussions about the mortal star prodigy spread throughout the celestial mansions, and his reputation quickly became widespread!

Even the usually reserved and low-key mortal star cultivators were excited and proud that night, drinking and laughing heartily, filling the night with lively sounds. The entire Frostwind Island was in an unprecedented state of excitement.

Only in one luxurious celestial mansion was there a deathly silence.

An Shi Xuan, lying in bed recovering from his injuries, turned pale with anger upon hearing the truth. When he saw the image of the Heavenly Ranking brought back by his subordinates, he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Pfft!"

"Yi Feng! You ambushed me first and then stole my spot on the Heavenly Ranking. I, An Shi Xuan, will remember you!"
