Rankings Revealed, Ying Bing: "I'm Second?"
Who am I? Where am I?
It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment.
Outside the window, a cold moon still shone, illuminating the frozen stream.
Inside the room, Li Mo opened his eyes in a daze.
The magnificent and desolate scene from just now still lingered in his mind, almost occupying his entire attention.
At that moment, only one emotion occupied his senses.
It wasn't hunger; it was a deep longing that came from the depths of my soul.
He subconsciously took out a bottle of Ten Thousand Year Earth Vein Spirit Milk and gulped it down.
The Earth Vein Essence surged into the Dantian, continuously absorbed by the thirty-six main meridians, converging into the Dantian, giving the body a feeling of long-awaited rain after a drought.
"Call..."
Little Li wiped his mouth, finally coming to his senses and remembering what had just happened.
He used the Heavenly Book Seal to deduce martial arts techniques.
He elevated a divine skill to a higher level, transforming it into a lotus petal.
"That martial art... I wonder if it can still be called a martial art anymore."
This feeling is strange.
Li Mo clearly knew the contents, but didn't know how to narrate them.
I wanted to explain, but I've forgotten the words.
The methods of information transmission he knew seemed far too pale and powerless compared to what martial arts described.
He then realized something was wrong.
He quickly focused his attention on his Dantian.
All I saw was...
A faint aura lingered in his Dantian, almost tangible.
Its color is pale red, like a flame that has burned eternally since time immemorial.
Internal Breath!?
This time, his Internal Breath did not disappear!
"A whole bottle of Ten Thousand Year Earth Vein Spirit Milk only yielded a trace of it for me?"
Li Mo was speechless.
Now I finally know what those thirty-six meridians are for.
Without them transforming the Earth Vein Essence together, not even this trace of Internal Breath could be condensed.
Raise one finger.
That Internal Breath instantly appeared at his fingertips.
It had no temperature and no breath.
A flick of the finger.
Instantly, a wisp of Internal Breath flew out of the window and landed on the frozen stream.
Surprisingly, it actually caught fire.
The ice was 'ignited'.
And it did not melt into water.
The firelight flickered in Li Mo's pupils, reflecting the surprise in his eyes.
"If I don't take it back, it will keep burning like this."
"Until the entire stream was burned down..."
"This Internal Breath can not only burn ice, but it can even scorch other kinds of 'fire'..."
A sudden realization dawned on him.
No other martial artist's Internal Breath possesses such exaggerated characteristics.
At most, it's just a bit tougher and more lethal.
His Internal Breath can incinerate everything; it's only a matter of time.
"So how did this Internal Breath get into my body?"
Little Li discovered the blind spot.
All right.
This can probably only be attributed to the miraculous power of the Profound Gate Immortal Physique.
"In any case, I've finally reached the Inner Breath Realm."
Li Mo finally felt relieved.
He still has twelve bottles of Earth Vein Spirit Milk.
He divided the bottles into three: two for his parents, one for emergencies, and the remaining nine for his martial arts practice.
Enough said, let's go!
Upstairs.
The room was filled with the color of snow, and everywhere you could see was covered with frost.
The bed, made of fine wood, has been cracked by the cold.
Ying Bing frowned slightly, her beautiful face showing a slight crease.
A faint fluctuation of Internal Breath emanated from it.
That's right, even at this point, she was still using the restless Taiyin energy to practice her skills.
This requires enduring immense pain, but also yields even greater rewards.
Taiyin) represents extreme cold and extreme gentleness.
At a time when all things are desolate, yet within them lies the vitality of new life sprouting.
This is also why her physical body far surpasses those of others in the same realm.
"The time should be... about right."
Ying Bing raised her eyes and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
It's midnight.
The system arrived precisely on time, providing the notification at that opportune moment:
[Currently compiling a list of all geniuses within the Eastern Wasteland Domain Region...]
[Comparing combat strength for the host...]
The two things in the system are happening simultaneously.
Actually, just looking at the list is enough.
With her name at the top of the list, everything else speaks for itself.
"Call..."
The breath, imbued with an icy aura, was exhaled by Ying Bing, and a serious expression appeared on her jade-like face.
It wasn't that I was worried about my position, but rather out of curiosity.
Apart from Li Mo.
In this life, will there be anyone else who will surprise her?
Where would that boy, so different from his past life, rank?
In the extreme cold where water freezes instantly, time seems to lose its meaning.
[Ding-dong]
[First ranking results announced.]
[50th Place Among the Prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Lin Jiang.]
[Ranked 49th among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Zhao Qin.]
[Thirtieth place among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Murong Xiao.]
As the system's text appeared, Ying Bing's expression returned to calm.
The system ranking was indeed slightly different from her memory.
For example, Lin Jiang, for example, Murong Xiao.
It's quite a coincidence that these two seem to know Li Mo.
His name has not been seen yet.
That's normal.
Li Mo learned his swordsmanship from her.
Moreover, during today's match, he revealed some things she hadn't expected.
His ranking will be at least in the top twenty.
The system ranking text continued to appear.
[Ranked 20th among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Xiao Qin.]
[Nineteenth place among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Mei Ziguang.]
[Luo Yu, ranked fourteenth among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain.]
[Thirteenth among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Zuoqiu Yang.]
Gradually, it appeared in the system's rankings.
Some of the names already made a lingering impression on Ying Bing. Some had made a name for themselves in the Eastern Wasteland Domain in their previous life, while others had gone to the Central Divine Province and left their mark on the winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
For example, Luo Yu led Burning Jade Valley to become the leader of Purple Sun Prefecture after the decline of Clear Abyss Sect.
For example, Zuoqiu Yang emerged victorious in the Avici Trial and, years later, became a fearsome assassin of the Drizzle Pavilion, known for his formidable skills.
They were all outstanding individuals.
As for the top ten, they are truly the cream of the crop.
Ying Bing's thoughts stirred slightly.
She discovered that Li Mo wasn't among them either.
He made it into the top ten?
No... it's not just the top ten.
[Fifth on the Eastern Wasteland Prodigy Ranking: Zhong Zhenyue.]
[Han Zhen, fourth on the Eastern Wasteland Prodigy Ranking]
[Third place on the Eastern Wasteland Prodigy Ranking: Shang Li.]
Seeing this, a hint of confusion and bewilderment finally flashed in Ying Bing's eyes.
These individuals are destined to shine brightly throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, heroes who, amidst the overwhelming tides of history, will create their own waves.
For example, Shang Li, the former Great Shang Dynasty.
He carried the last national destiny of the Great Shang and later even made a high-profile attempt to restore the country.
For example, Han Zhen.
This person is quite mysterious. Ying Bing only knows that the speed at which he rose to power was astonishing, and the martial arts he used seemed to be completely out of this era. He is suspected to be a successor of an ancient force.
Could Li Mo surpass them, and be only below him?
The thought had just arisen.
Ying Bing's thoughts suddenly froze, and her clear eyes trembled violently.
[Second place on the Eastern Wasteland Prodigy Ranking: Ying Bing.]
She saw herself.
