Lu Ren's name flashed with golden light on the scroll, exceptionally glaring, even eclipsing Yao Tiandu's name.
Everyone stared fixedly at Lu Ren's name, their pupils dilating and their faces blank with shock.
"Did... did I see that right?"
"First place is actually Lu Ren? That Void of Destiny? Wasn't his Divine Son status stripped by the Divine Court? Even his Divine Son Seal was shattered. Why is he still on the Divine Ruins Ranking, and ranked first?"
A wave of confusion swept through the crowd.
They had long assumed that the Divine Ruins Ranking would exclude Lu Ren.
After all, Lu Ren could not possibly participate in the Divine Ruins Battlefield. Even if he could, he probably would not dare to participate, right?
When Lu Ren saw his own name, he was also deeply shocked. Especially when he saw the words Heavenly Grade Arena, he was stunned anew.
This meant that the Divine Court already knew he had obtained the qualification to enter the Divine Ruins Battlefield through the Heavenly Grade Arena.
"Look, that says Heavenly Grade Arena. In other words, Lu Ren does not represent the Five Elements Divine Sect. He obtained a place in the Divine Ruins Battlefield through the Heavenly Grade Arena!"
"The Divine Court knows he can enter the Divine Ruins Battlefield, yet they still ranked him first?"
"Lu Ren's talent is indeed heaven-defying. I heard that in the Medicine Forest, he defeated several Divine Sons in succession and even killed a prince of the Demon Tribulation Hall!"
"Even if his talent defies heaven, I don't believe he can surpass Yao Tiandu!"
The entire merchant association erupted into an uproar. There was confusion and disdain alike. They could not understand why Lu Ren had made the ranking, nor could they accept him taking first
