Grey Cat Kills, Ninth Place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking Exposed!

In the Human Realm, Zhang Tao stared at the flickering golden light of the Sky Screen, his expression grave.

Humanity had gained the upper hand in the previous Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament, but the true test had only just begun!

The moment the Sky Screen exposed the Future Human King, the smoke of war would completely engulf the entire Outer Region of the Earth Cave!

The Future Human King, the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, the bearer of the Three Emperors Great Dao... the Human Realm would likely never know peace again!

The powerhouses of the Three Realms would never give the Future Human King a chance to fully rise.

The great war was coming!

Yet, if the Future Human King could pacify the Origin and devour the Seed, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Three Realms to be free of the Origin disaster?

Why did those so-called Immortal Clan members and Ancient Martial Artists insist on being enemies with the Human Realm?!

Was it hatred, or jealousy that the Future Human King who would become the master was not one of them?

"These people have abandoned the name of the human race, yet they have not abandoned their base, filthy human nature!"

"The Immortal Clan, how laughable!"

Zhang Tao's face was cold and stern. What right did these so-called Immortal Clan members have to be so arrogant, looking down upon the human race as if they were mere ants!

Just then, thunder shook the sky, a bolt from the blue, though the people of the Human Realm merely assumed the Sky Screen was fluctuating.

At Magic Martial University, Fang Ping was not paying attention to the Sky Screen, instead throwing himself heart and soul into his cultivation.

He had gained a massive amount of resources and wealth points from the Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament, and he needed to convert these into his martial arts realm and strength as quickly as possible!

At Southern Martial University, Wang Jinyang had begun closed-door cultivation to break through immediately after returning from the Earth Cave.

The martial arts tournament had made him feel even more urgent.

Facing the powerhouses of the Three Realms, even a Peak expert could barely survive!

The only reason the powerhouses of the Three Realms did not strike at these "ants" was because of the deterrent power of the Heaven Suppressing King and the remnant soul projection of the War Heavenly Emperor.

But if one day these people no longer feared that deterrent, what would the martial artists of the Human Realm do?

A martial artist must strive for self-improvement!

The only one who can save you is yourself.

Meanwhile, other talented martial artists like Li Hansong, Yao Chengjun, Qin Fengqing, Ling Yiyi, and Han Xu also began their closed-door cultivation to break through their realms.

Inside the Earth Cave, King Ming's eyes were cold as he stared at the Sky Screen, a sneer playing on his lips.

They might fail once or twice, but they would never fail forever!

No matter how strong the human geniuses were, and even if Zhang Xuan was a monster, they were still only low-rank martial artists!

Zhang Xuan could kill one person, or ten, but could he kill a hundred in one breath?

Could his Vitality break through a thousand, or ten thousand!

If a hundred people surrounded and attacked one, even the most monstrous human genius would eventually exhaust himself and die!

The end of one slaughter would only herald the beginning of the next!

On the Sky Screen, golden light flashed!

[Three Realms Heavenly Pride Ranking · Human Realm List, 10th Place: Kong Lingyuan!]

"Whoa, another fresh piece of gossip to chew on!"

"Kong Lingyuan? Where did this nobody come from?"

"Hiss, Grandmaster Kong actually made the list!"

"Old Kong is going to fully recover and return to his peak!"

"..."

In the Human Realm, At this moment, the weak and still-wounded youth Kong Lingyuan was also staring at the Sky Screen in shock.

He had actually made the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking, and was even ranked tenth!

Though the Grandmasters of the Hua Nation were surprised by Kong Lingyuan's inclusion, they all acknowledged it.

Kong Lingyuan was a top-tier Rank 9 powerhouse who had learned the ultimate techniques of Zhang Tao; had he not been suffering from unhealed wounds, he would surely have carved out a fearsome reputation in the Earth Cave!

[Kong Lingyuan, half-student of Martial King Zhang Tao, Rank 9 Grandmaster of the Hua Nation, peak burst of 370,000 cal!]

[Thirteen years ago, during a massive Earth Cave riot, Kong Lingyuan rushed to the Donglin Earth Cave to block the enemy, suffering severe damage to his Origin that remains unhealed to this day.]

[Later, the Future Human King was targeted by the Four Great Royal Courts of the Earth Cave with a bounty of True King ultimate techniques and Rank 9 divine weapons. The Divine Sect martial artists lurking in the Human Realm poured out in full force, intending to assassinate the Future Human King!]

[Martial King Zhang Tao and the Future Human King lured the enemy deep into a trap, ambushing numerous Rank 9 martial artists with the intent to wipe out the Divine Sect forces!]

With the help of Zhang Tao, Kong Lingyuan recovered his origin and single-handedly blocked the Great Elder of the Divine Sect.

However, he was beaten until his golden body collapsed, vomiting blood and turning deathly pale, suffering severe injuries once again!

During the great battle in the Magic City Earth Cave, Kong Lingyuan fought to the death, single-handedly imprisoning 12 Rank-9 powerhouses from the Earth Cave, showing extreme ferocity!

Later, after the Grey Cat slaughtered the 12 Rank-9 Earth Cave powerhouses, Kong Lingyuan was out of danger, but his origin was heavily damaged, leaving him severely injured and unconscious once more.

During that same period, Kong Lingyuan was ranked first on the Hua Nation Rank-9 Grandmaster list, gaining great fame in both the Earth Cave and the Human Realm.

When the great battle at the Land of King Battles occurred, all of Hua Nation's Rank-9s poured out; Kong Lingyuan was still unconscious, yet the Future Human King and others prepared to take him to the battlefield.

While he was still in a coma, his opponents had already been assigned to him.

After Kong Lingyuan woke up and realized his body had been stuffed with all sorts of heavenly treasures and that he had been given a new Rank-9 divine weapon, he exclaimed, "I have a feeling I'm going to be severely injured again this time!"

Sure enough, Kong Lingyuan was heavily wounded once more, nearly falling into a coma again!

Afterward, Kong Lingyuan attained the Peak realm at the Fake Heavenly Grave.

During the war of the Three Realms, he burned his Great Dao to fulfill the Martial King, Zhang Tao.

"Pfft, I'm dying of laughter, poor old Kong!"

"Hahahaha, hilarious, old Kong is just too miserable!"

"It's tragic beyond words; he was taken to the battlefield while still unconscious, and they even thoughtfully assigned his opponents for him!"

"Kong Lingyuan is either severely injured or on his way to being severely injured!"

"He opens his eyes to face the enemy, finishes the battle and falls into a coma, wakes up before he's fully recovered, and wakes up to even bigger surprises!"

"Old Kong's experiences are truly hilarious!"

"Before Kong Lingyuan arrived: The Martial King and the Human King told me I'd have nothing but 'bed scenes,' and I thought to myself, what a great deal, such a wonderful battle, how marvelous!

After arriving: You XXX, I XXX!"

"Truth be told, Kong Lingyuan being able to hold off 12 Rank-9 Earth Cave powerhouses, even if only for a moment, is a scene worth writing down in the history of Rank-9s!"

"Old Kong's strength is just too formidable; he's in every major battle, and they always leave the most dangerous enemies to him, yet he still hasn't died!"

"I ask you, who else can do that!"

"..."

At this moment, Kong Lingyuan looked up at the sky.

His face had almost turned into a bitter melon!

He was still unconscious, and his opponents had already been picked out for him—is this something a human would do?

Wu Chuan, Tian Mu, and the others burst into laughter.

"Old Kong is truly miserable, but he's also truly strong!"

They all understood that the stronger one was, the more Hua Nation would use them to the point of death, pushing them until the very end.

Kong Lingyuan wasn't the only one.

Zhang Tao, Li Zhen, Nan Yunyue... they were all the same.

There was no other way; the number of human powerhouses was simply too small.

Zhang Tao, who was watching the Sky Screen exposure, felt a bit embarrassed.

Fortunately, now that Kong Lingyuan was on the list, he would finally be able to fully recover.

It was just a question of whether he would be severely injured again in the future.

On the other side, in the Earth Cave.

King Ming, King Feng, and the others wore grave expressions!

"Kong Lingyuan, blocking 12 people alone, with a peak outburst of 370,000 cards—the number one Rank-9 in Hua Nation!"

Under normal circumstances, a Vitality limit of 300,000 cards is enough to step into the Peak realm.

Once Vitality reaches 350,000 cards, it is almost impossible to advance any further!

But they hadn't expected the Human Realm to have such a monster!

Kong Lingyuan was not much worse than Qi Huanyu, the King Among Kings of the God Continent!

Once Kong Lingyuan advanced to the Peak, he would surely become a powerhouse among the Peaks!

"King Ming, we can let Qi Huanyu intercept and kill Kong Lingyuan to eliminate a major enemy for the God Continent!"

King Ming's expression shifted slightly; Qi Huanyu had already secretly attained the Dao, so how could he go and stifle a Rank-9 like Kong Lingyuan?

However, if Kong Lingyuan's injuries were healed, he would likely step into the Peak realm very soon.

At the same rank, Qi Huanyu would also be able to kill Kong Lingyuan!

King Ming nodded: "If Kong Lingyuan appears in the Outer Region, let Qi Huanyu kill him!"

"Killing Kong Lingyuan will surely deal a heavy blow to the human race!"

The Earth Cave True Kings were thinking about how to stifle this heaven-defying martial artist, Kong Lingyuan.

However, the Emperor Venerables of Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Emperor Venerables of the Boundary Land, and the various powerhouses of the Three Realms were all focused on the Grey Cat!

"The Grey Cat actually took action to kill for the human race!"

"How is this possible? The Grey Cat has killed 12 people for the human race; this is unbelievable!"

"..."

Ancient powerhouses like King Gen, King Gan, and King Xun wore grave expressions.

They had assumed that the claims of the Future Human King having completely tamed the Grey Cat were merely exaggerations, but now it seemed the Grey Cat might have truly committed itself to the Future Human King!

Otherwise, how could the Grey Cat possibly kill for the human race!

They all knew that from ancient times until now, the Grey Cat had actually killed very few people.

Unless it was truly provoked, the Grey Cat would generally never kill; it would mostly just toy with people or let fellows like the Heavenly Dog do the dirty work.

The Grey Cat does not kill!

This was a consensus!

Inside the Spirit Emperor Palace, The Spirit Emperor and Lin Zi also had their expressions tighten upon seeing the description on the Sky Screen.

The Spirit Emperor stared at the Grey Cat with her beautiful eyes and pinched its face in annoyance.

"Grey Cat, how could you kill people?"

The Grey Cat was not supposed to kill; once it intentionally killed, the black mud pool in its origin world would grow larger.

"Meow!"

The Grey Cat looked innocent: "This cat doesn't fight, don't frame me!"

The Spirit Emperor pinched the Grey Cat's fat face, feeling a bit jealous.

If she threw this fat cat into the Human Realm, it would definitely be so happy it would forget all about the Spirit Emperor Palace!

The Grey Cat followed the Child of Luck.

The reason the Grey Cat wasn't currently clamoring to go out and play was likely because the Future Human King had not yet grown up.

If the Future Human King were to grow up, this fat cat would inevitably leave the Spirit Emperor Palace to be by the Future Human King's side.

But the side of the Future Human King was far too dangerous.

The Spirit Emperor sighed inwardly; this cat was so heartless, making her worry for it for no reason.

No, she had to take advantage of this time to play with the cat!

"Meow!"

In the Origin Source, The Human Emperor gazed at the Sky Screen, his eyes brightening slightly.

"Interesting, the Grey Cat would actually take the initiative to kill for the Future Human King."

"The Grey Cat, the Heavenly Dog, the Spirit Emperor... the Heavenly Emperor truly has no reason to complain about losing to the Future Human King!"

On the Sky Screen, the exposure continued.

[Evaluation: Kong Lingyuan, master of defense, the number one person in defense among the same rank, fearless of death, unparalleled combat power. Reliable, responsible, fought for humanity his entire life.

He is either in battle or healing from his wounds!]

[Basic Reward: Unimpeded Great Dao, Transcend the Three Realms.

Advanced Reward: Restoration to peak state, Peak-level folding fan divine weapon (bound to the individual), Peak-level vitality.]

"Hiss, Old Kong is going to become a new Peak!"

"Holy crap, a Peak-level divine weapon, awesome!"

"Hahaha, why do I find the last line of the Sky Screen's evaluation of Old Kong so funny!"

"The human race is invincible!"

"Grandmaster Kong is going to become a Peak; the human race will have another powerhouse to protect it!"

"Grandmaster Kong at the Peak realm surely won't still be fighting until he falls into a coma—closing his eyes means passing out, opening them means fighting!"

"Haha, hard to say!"

"..."

The Human Realm was filled with joy.

Kong Lingyuan felt his body and looked at the rewards on the Sky Screen, a smile appearing on his face as well.

However, his vacation was also coming to an end.

Wu Chuan, Tian Mu, and the others saw that Kong Lingyuan had recovered from his injuries and also smiled.

"Haha, I really want to tease Old Kong right to his face!"

"Who's to say otherwise?"

Li Zhen, Nan Yunyue, and Chen Guyang were equally delighted; the human realm was about to gain another Peak powerhouse!

The Earth Cave.

The Heavenly Fate Royal Court.

Qi Huanyu gazed at the Sky Screen and let out a cold snort:

"If this person advances to True King, I will surely slay him!"

He had already received orders from King Kun to kill Kong Lingyuan!

Ji Yao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she stared at the Sky Screen in a trance.

"Is the Future Human King about to be revealed?"

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of dread, fearing that the Sky Screen would truly expose the identity of the Future Human King before her eyes.

Above the Sky Screen, golden light rippled, and the gilded characters shifted rapidly!

[Three Realms Heavenly Pride Ranking: Human Realm List, 9th Place: Wangwu Mountain outer sect disciple, Sect Alliance leader Zhao Xingwu!]

"What, an outer sect disciple of Wangwu Mountain! Does this mean that Zhao Xingwu, the 9th ranked on the Human Realm Heavenly Pride List, is a disciple of Emperor Yue Ling?!"

"Hiss, Wangwu Mountain... With Zhao Xingwu on the list, I wonder if Wangwu Mountain will recall this talented disciple."

"Alliance Leader Zhao has made the list; Wangwu Mountain and the sects are finally going to rise!"

"Zhao Xingwu abandoned his sect; what right does he have to be called a sect leader by the Sky Screen?! He is a traitor to the sects, a disgrace to the sect!"

"Alliance Leader Zhao is on the list, but who knows if this is a blessing or a curse!"

"..."

The human realm.

Zhang Tao's expression tightened, his heart sinking.

Wangwu Mountain, Yue Ling, the Earth Emperor...

The Wangwu Mountain of Earth and the First Grotto-Heaven of the Earth Cave were of the same lineage.

In the past, he had not dared to let Wangwu Mountain and the sects grow too strong, fearing that once they became powerful, they would turn and defect to the Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Boundary Land, with whom they shared a lineage.

Now, several Heaven Beyond Heaven and Boundary Land factions had already forged deep grudges with humanity.

If people from the Boundary Land or Wangwu Mountain came, how would the sects choose?

With external threats already present, there could be no internal strife!

Zhang Tao stared at the Sky Screen, silent and motionless.

At this moment, Zhao Xingwu looked at the Sky Screen, his brows furrowed in silence, his heart filled with resentment!

Wangwu Mountain... the number one sect!

His original intention for becoming stronger was to strengthen Wangwu Mountain!

But the master of Wangwu Mountain, Yue Ling, was the daughter-in-law of the Earth Emperor, and the Earth Emperor was the primary culprit behind the Earth Cave's invasion of the human realm!

For him to be an outer sect disciple of Wangwu Mountain while being the master of the human realm's Wangwu Mountain was too ironic!

He had refrained from proving his Dao to the Peak all this time because he wanted to go to Wangwu Mountain to break his inner obsession and prove his Dao as the supreme powerhouse among the Peak!

But now, there was no need for him to go to Wangwu Mountain anymore.

The human realm and several Heaven Beyond Heaven and Boundary Land factions had already forged deep grudges.

The Earth Emperor's family was the primary culprit behind the Earth Cave's invasion of the human realm!

Wangwu Mountain... the Wangwu Mountain of the human realm was the human realm's Wangwu Mountain, not the Earth Cave's Wangwu Mountain!

Modern sects were modern sects, and the Boundary Land was the Boundary Land; the two were not the same!

"I, Zhao Xingwu, am a grandmaster of humanity!"

"Modern sects will only fight for humanity!"

The Earth Cave.

Hong Yu, Li Zhu, and King Kun all looked toward Yue Ling.

Yue Ling remained calm, saying coldly: "The Wangwu Mountain of the human realm is not my Wangwu Mountain."

The Wangwu Mountain in the human realm was not established by her; even if a peerless genius appeared there, even if the Future Human King came from the human realm's Wangwu Mountain, it still had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, how could the Martial King Zhang Tao sit idly by and watch her make contact with Zhao Xingwu or the human Wangwu Mountain?

Furthermore, the Earth Emperor's scheme for the Earth Cave to invade the human realm had already created a blood feud with the human realm.

One day, there would be a reckoning.

As the daughter-in-law of the Earth Emperor, she might be unable to escape culpability in the eyes of human powerhouses.

If she truly tried to recall the disciples of the human Wangwu Mountain, Zhang Tao would very likely choose to personally intervene and annihilate the human Wangwu Mountain!

Although the Martial King Zhang Tao was shameless, since he was the King of Martial Arts, he was undoubtedly a powerhouse who acted with decisive ruthlessness!

Zhao Xingwu, an outer sect disciple of Wangwu Mountain and the master of Wangwu Mountain in the Human Realm, had nothing to do with her.

At this very moment, Li Zhen, Nan Yunyue, the human grandmasters, and all the Peak experts of Star Suppressing City were gazing at the Sky Screen.

They all knew of Zhang Tao's suppression of and wariness toward the sects.

But as of today, Zhao Xingwu and the majority of the sects in the Human Realm had done nothing to wrong humanity; any sect martial artist who dared to enter the Earth Cave to fight was a hero of humanity!

However, how could a conflict of ideologies be so easily resolved?

Please keep reading!

Zhao Xingwu is a somewhat complex person; I need to take another detailed look at the relevant content.
