Prodigy Rankings
Not long after Azure Cloud Gazette released the Peak Rankings, it followed up with the Prodigy Rankings.
The number one spot on the Prodigy Rankings was none other than Zhou Lin.
Just like the Peak Rankings, below the Prodigy Rankings, there is still a comment. "The Solar Heavenly Art shines upon the world!"
The second place on the Prodigy Rankings is Ling Xu. Ling Xu's description is. "His Sword Qi energy is boundless, his sharpness unmatched!"
Kong Xiuping, who lives in Azure Cloud Town, also won a prize.
He ranked thirteenth.
Although Kong Xiuping was dissatisfied with the ranking, he didn't dwell on it too much.
Zhou Lin, Ling Xu, Leng Qingfeng, and others ranked at the top are also true prodigies, possessing immense strength and combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people.
He had no resentment that these outstanding talents were ranked at the front.
However, when he saw the comments, a surge of anger welled up inside him.
"The son of the Sage Master will inherit the Supreme Lore!"
This is Kong Xiuping's comment.
Let alone Kong Xiuping, who wouldn't be angry upon seeing this comment?
What does this mean?
Doesn't this mean that besides having Sage Master as his father and inheriting his father's Supreme Lore, he's nothing else?
Holding the Prodigy Rankings, Kong Xiuping stormed into the Azure Cloud Gazette office, demanding, "How exactly is your Prodigy Rankings arranged? Who decided on the comments?"
Liu Ming looked at Kong Xiuping and said leisurely, "Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Zhang Yang?"
"Right!"
Kong Xiuping felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't say a word.
If it were someone else making the review, he would definitely find that person and explain himself clearly.
However, when faced with Zhang Yang, Kong Xiuping had no choice but to back down.
He was defeated by Zhang Yang three or four times in a row.
Then he was tricked by Zhang Yang several times, and finally got beaten up because of Zhang Yang. Now he's even forced to stay in Azure Cloud Town and can't go home...
All of this was Zhang Yang's doing!
Does Zhang Yang have the qualifications to comment on the Prodigy Rankings?
Of course there are.
During the Prodigy Battlefield, Zhang Yang beat up every single one of the prodigies on the Prodigy Rankings.
If such a person isn't qualified, then who is?
However, Kong Xiuping felt aggrieved when he thought about the comments!
He even wondered if Zhang Yang was deliberately trying to disgust him.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Then why isn't Zhang Yang ranked?"
Liu Ming replied earnestly, "I also asked my Eldest Senior Brother this question. He said that all of you geniuses are at the Primordial Spirit Realm, while he's only at the Nascent Soul Realm. If I were ranked higher, you wouldn't be satisfied!"
Kong Xiuping shuddered. "Go to hell with the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Although he didn't know why Zhang Yang hadn't broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, anyone who thought he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm could go to hell!
"Mr. Kong, is there anything else?" Liu Ming asked.
Kong Xiuping was both angry and furious, but he couldn't vent his anger.
In the past, he would have turned and left in shame.
However, his mindset has changed a bit now. He forced an awkward smile and asked, "Should I change my evaluation?"
Liu Ming glanced at Kong Xiuping: "Our Eldest Senior Brother said that anyone who is Qi Ingestion with the ranking can challenge the person ranked higher. After winning, we will release the latest ranking for them."
Furthermore, if anyone disagrees with the comments, they should go find the Eldest Senior Brother Eldest Senior Brother, and he will personally discuss it with them!
Kong Xiuping froze.
He now feels a deep fear of Zhang Yang, not the kind of fear of death, but the fear of losing face.
How could he dare to see Zhang Yang?
Kong Xiuping has once again been defeated by the editorial department of Azure Cloud Gazette.
Back at their lodgings, Kong Shan saw Kong Xiuping looking dejected and asked, "Xiu Ping, what happened?"
"Uncle Shan!" Kong Xiuping said listlessly, "It's nothing!"
Upon seeing Kong Xiuping's appearance and then looking at the Prodigy Rankings in Kong Xiuping's hand, Kong Shan immediately understood what had happened.
He smiled slightly and said, "Do you know anything about your father?"
"Of course!" Kong Xiuping nodded.
How could he not understand his father?
Kong Shan shook his head. "You don't understand your father!"
For example, your father would never be like you are now... I'm not much younger than your father, so I know a bit about his situation.
He didn't become Sage Master from the start, nor did he comprehend those Supreme Lore from the beginning.
He glanced at the Prodigy Rankings and said meaningfully, "Besides the secrets your father passed down to you, do you have any other abilities? Have you comprehended your own Cultivation Method? Have you found your own path?"
No!
In that case, I think the rankings on the Prodigy Rankings are correct!
Kong Xiuping's face turned pale instantly.
Kong Shan took out an old copy of the Azure Cloud Gazette, pointed to the article published in it, and said to Kong Xiuping, "Have you read this article?"
Kong Xiuping glanced at it; it was a book titled "Resource Theory" written by a man named Zhang Changshan. He nodded and said, "I've read it."
Kong Shan sighed and said, "This kid has already found his path and is beginning to build his Dao. Alas, he was originally a talent from our Langya Sacred Land, and we just gave him away to the Azure Cloud Sect for nothing!"
You need to put everything else aside and focus on finding your path.
Otherwise, your time in this era will come to an end."
"But my father told me..." Kong Xiuping looked at Kong Shan with a conflicted expression.
Kong Shan laughed heartily and said, "You!"
You idolize your father too much!
Admittedly, your father is indeed worthy of admiration, but for you, it's not a good thing!
I'll teach you: from today onwards, you shouldn't listen to him.
Think about it, if you dare to disobey him, what can't you do? Right?
Go find your own path. Once you're strong enough, will your father still be able to beat you? At least you'll be able to run away, won't you?
The Azure Cloud Sect won't let you go to Situ Mingyue, so why don't you just steal her?
Zhang Yang made such a careless comment about you, aren't you going to confront him about it?
All of this requires you to have the ability!
Therefore, what's most important to you right now is to have strength. Only then will you have the power to make decisions about anything!
Kong Xiuping was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses. "Thank you, Uncle Shan, I'm going into seclusion now!"
"Go! Go!" Kong Shan waved his hand, watching Kong Xiuping leave.
He came to Azure Cloud Town to establish Langya Academy. Currently, Azure Cloud Town is still under expansion, so the academy is not yet completed.
Therefore, he lived in Azure Cloud Town and knew everything about it.
This was one of the reasons he came to Azure Cloud Town.
Another purpose was to be in charge of leading the disciples of Langya Sacred Land, such as Kong Xiuping and Kong Qinghan, so that they would not cause any problems.
After all, the Langya Sacred Land was also afraid that if these people really all joined the Azure Cloud Sect in the future, it would be a joke.
Now that Kong Shan has noticed that Kong Xiuping's mindset is problematic, he offers Kong Xiuping some advice, hoping that Kong Xiuping can make some changes.
To say that Kong Xiuping is a genius is absolutely true.
The Sage Master's Supreme Lore were not left untaught to others, but very few people mastered them all.
However, the Sage Master, as Kong Xiuping's father, had such a powerful aura that Kong Xiuping couldn't even entertain any other thoughts.
This resulted in Kong Xiuping only being able to become "the second Sage Master".
Unfortunately, Kong Xiuping only learned the superficial aspects of the Sage Master's teachings, without grasping the true essence.
If Kong Xiuping doesn't change course, the drawbacks will only get worse.
Therefore, the Sage Master used the Zhang Yang to temper Kong Xiuping and even sent Kong Xiuping to Azure Cloud Town.
Now Kong Shan gave Kong Xiuping another push, finally pushing Kong Xiuping off the path of becoming the second Sage Master.
The final outcome depends on Kong Xiuping's own fate.
"Sigh!" The Sage Master held the Prodigy Rankings and sighed softly when he saw the comments about his son on the Prodigy Rankings.
If he hadn't cherished his son so much back then, and had simply sent him to be among the lower-ranking disciples, things might be completely different now.
He now only hopes that Kong Xiuping can find his own path in Azure Cloud Town.
