They Said Eagle Nation Would Take the Top Three, So Why Was That Dragon Nation Man Dominating the Rankings?
[87th Place] [Weapon: Sea-Calming Stele] [Grade: Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure] [Trial Participant: Li Yi] [Nation: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World]
[79th Place] [Weapon: Great Lu Bell] [Grade: Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure] [Trial Participant: Li Yi] [Nation: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World]
[73rd Place] [Weapon: Thunder-Sound Drum] [Grade: Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure] [Trial Participant: Li Yi] [Nation: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World]
No matter how the viewers from every nation wailed in the National Destiny Livestream, the Golden Ranking above National Destiny Plaza kept changing.
But every time a new entry appeared, the name on it was always the same: Li Yi.
And the nation was always Dragon Nation.
The people of Cherry Blossom Nation broke down in the National Destiny Livestream.
"Damn it! That Dragon Nation man has to be cheating! How could every entry on the ranking be his?"
"Exactly! Not a single weapon from another nation's participant? If that isn't cheating, what is?"
As Li Yi's weapons continued to appear, one after another, someone from Cherry Blossom Nation finally asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't tell me every weapon after this belongs to that Li Yi from Dragon Nation too?"
The Cherry Blossom Nation livestream fell silent. Only after a moment did someone object.
"Impossible! Kaito has the Uchiha Fan! There's no way Li Yi has a hundred divine artifacts more powerful than that!"
Others immediately chimed in.
"That's right!"
"Maybe Li Yi's weapons aren't as good as the Uchiha Fan from our Cherry Blossom Nation participant's Naruto World, but they're still better than every other nation's weapons! Our Uchiha Fan might be in the top three!"
"Exactly. There's no way a divine artifact like the Uchiha Fan wouldn't make the top hundred!"
"Just wait. We probably won't see the Uchiha Fan until the top ten!"
After talking it over, the people of Cherry Blossom Nation finally steadied themselves. They watched Li Yi's weapons flash across the Golden Ranking through gritted teeth, waiting for the top ten to be revealed.
Meanwhile, in a secret chamber of the Eagle Nation Congress.
Seeing Li Yi's name appear over and over, Robert, speaker of the Eagle Nation Congress, exploded with rage.
"What did you promise me?"
"You said Li Yi's weapons hadn't changed since yesterday and that none of them would make the top hundred!"
"And now? More than thirty entries are his!"
"Are those idiots in the Intelligence Department being paid to do nothing?"
The Intelligence Department congressman below him, thoroughly berated, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt rather aggrieved.
Even Dragon Nation knew next to nothing about the Primordial World.
How could Eagle Nation do anything but estimate the grades of those weapons from the information it already had?
Under normal circumstances, the advisory team's judgment had been sound. Li Yi had supposedly possessed that Innate Supreme Treasure since he first entered the Primordial World. How powerful could it really be?
Surely he couldn't have started out with the most powerful Dharma Treasure in that world? Would that make any sense? Of course not!
Besides, Li Yi had acquired his supreme treasures early, and his collection hadn't changed in a long time.
That was why Eagle Nation's advisory team had confidently concluded that the treasures in his hands were nothing special.
Who could have guessed that the Spirit Treasures Li Yi obtained at the start were this powerful? Not only had they charged into the top hundred of the Trial Weapon Rankings, they were dominating it. It was nothing short of a miracle!
As the congressman cursed inwardly, he received another message from the advisory team under him. His eyes lit up.
"Mr. Speaker, the advisory team has sent another message!"
"It isn't that Li Yi's weapons are too strong. The other nations' weapons are simply too weak!"
"They can't compare with the Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Supreme Treasures in Li Yi's hands."
"That's why his weapons are dominating the rankings!"
"But there's no need to worry, Mr. Speaker. Eagle Nation is clearly different from those weaker nations!"
"The Super Divine Artifacts we obtained from Heaven World are still superior to every weapon Li Yi has!"
"Please be patient. Our two Super Divine Artifacts are both strong contenders for the top three!"
Robert's anger eased a little.
It wasn't that Li Yi was too strong? The other nations were just too weak, and only Eagle Nation's Super Divine Artifacts could beat his so-called Spirit Treasures?
"Those useless fools!"
"Hmph. We'll see soon enough."
"Let that Dragon Nation man enjoy himself a little longer..."
The speaker wasn't the only one who received the message. Other Eagle Nation viewers got similar reassurances, and the fear and anger rising in them gradually subsided.
The pride that had been shaken earlier returned to their faces.
"Exactly. Like the advisory team's experts said, it's not that the Dragon Nation man is too strong. The participants from the other nations are just worthless!"
"Heaven World absolutely crushes the Primordial World. Naturally, the Super Divine Artifacts we got there crush that world's so-called Spirit Treasures too!"
"Hmph. Let those Dragon Nation people gloat a little longer. So what if they take the bottom ninety-seven spots? All Eagle Nation needs is a firm hold on the top three!"
Meanwhile, the ranking kept updating.
[64th Place] [Weapon: Returning Current Bottle] [Grade: High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure] [Trial Participant: Li Yi] [Nation: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World]
[52nd Place] [Weapon: Samadhi True Fire Lamp] [Grade: High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure] [Trial Participant: Li Yi] [Nation: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World]
[39th Place] [Weapon: Azure Luan Colored-Feather Fan] [Grade: High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure] [Trial Participant: Li Yi] [Nation: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World]
Seeing the weapon grades near the top of the ranking change from mid-grade to high-grade, the people of Dragon Nation finally began to understand.
"So high-grade is above mid-grade? Then supreme-grade must be above high-grade too?"
"Exactly! Given how many Innate Spiritual Treasures God Yi has, some of the top ten spots will probably be ours as well."
"Then which is stronger, an Innate Supreme Treasure or an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
That question stumped everyone.
Judging by their names, an Innate Supreme Treasure ought to be stronger than an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
But Dragon Nation's viewers all knew that God Yi seemed to have obtained the Innate Supreme Treasure called the Cosmos Cauldron as soon as he arrived in the Primordial World.
If Innate Supreme Treasures were stronger than Innate Spiritual Treasures, didn't that mean God Yi had started out with the highest-grade divine artifact in the Primordial World?
That made no sense for a trial participant's arrival!
While everyone was still puzzled, the Trial Weapon Rankings had already reached the top ten.
