"Dionysus" Yin Lan, ranked eighteenth on the leaderboard, was the overall head of the Southwest Region and the strongest Tier 3 in the "Order."
Even without the "Order" prefix, among Tier 3 Players, only Fishing Man ranked above her.
The gap of one rank was also rather ambiguous. Although Lin Yu knew Shen Bingmiao's ranking was most likely extremely reliable, and she was highly regarded among the Players, if they were only one rank apart...
