Chapter 47: We Cultivators Should See Li Yu as Our Role Model
Atlas Studios Atlas Studios
“Haha, I really want to see the look on those Xi Liang elites’ faces right now!”
“Yeah, aren’t they here to challenge the prodigies of our Great Xia Dynasty? He never tasted defeat, right? I think his win streak will end here in our Great Xia Dynasty!”
“That’s right. Li Yu is definitely more formidable than Ji Qinglan, and the Heavenly Dao Rankings speaks for itself!”
“Although I really hope that Li Yu can defeat Ji Qinglan, we have to admit that the Xi Liang Dynasty has been extremely powerful over the past few hundred years. Many geniuses have gathered there. The fact that Ji Qinglan can reach the top of the Xi Liang Hidden Dragon Rankings meant that his strength cannot be underestimated!”
“Don’t diminish your own prestige by praising others!”
“That’s right. No matter how strong Ji Qinglan is, he’s definitely not Li Yu’s match. Right, do you guys know where he plans to compete with the prodigies of our Great Xia Dynasty? We’ll go take a look and see how Ji Qinglan loses when the time comes!”
“Haha, I want to see it too!”
“I heard that he plans to hold an arena to challenge others at the Hundred Sect Recruitment Assembly on the second day of the Lantern Festival!”
“Oh, he’s good at picking the timing. Is he planning to embarrass himself in front of the young generation of the Great Xia Dynasty?”
“Hahaha, that’s right. I really look forward to seeing Li Yu beat this kid into a pulp…”
Because of the 3000 Physique Rankings, the news of Ji Qinglan coming to the Great Xia Dynasty to challenge the top ten geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Rankings instantly spread.
Now that Li Yu was at the top of the rankings, it made the competition between the prodigies of the two countries more intriguing and anticipated.
…
However, on the Nine-tailed Mountain.
Li Yu’s lips twitched as he looked at the 3000 Physique Rankings.
He never imagined that he would be number one on this ranking again and that his physique was known as the ‘human body’!
Didn’t I fill this up in the system’s personal information randomly?
What the… I didn’t know this could happen.
If only I knew the Heavenly Dao Rankings would expose me.
I should have come up with a super cool and awesome name!
I wonder if it is too late to change now. Li Yu opened the system interface and discovered that…
He could not change it!
F*ck!
“Senior Brother, you’re too awesome. You’re really number one!”
“I knew that Senior Brother would definitely be number one! Otherwise, who would be qualified to be number one!” Ye Qiu and Tang Chi screamed excitedly.
“But what kind of physique is a human body?” Ye Qiu asked in confusion.
Li Yu did not speak. He also wanted to know how his body could reach the top of the rankings.
Moreover, there was an additional reward this time.
Another Chongming Bird Fledging
The Heavenly Dao Rankings are so persistent.
Surely there isn’t a nest of baby birds waiting to be sent out on the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
…
“It’s actually Li Yu!” Ji Qinglan looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings, his face becoming increasingly grim.
Although he had speculated the first on the Physique Rankings might be Li Yu, he was still deeply irritated when it was confirmed to be true.
This was especially so when he saw that the rewards for the Heavenly Dao Rankings were actually a middle-grade immortal technique.
Furthermore, an additional reward was given to Li Yu once again.
He was about to lose his cool.
Why!!!
Ji Qinglan was unconvinced. He could not accept this!
They were both prodigies, so why did Li Yu obtain additional rewards twice?
And what was his ‘human body’?
Even Sword Immortal Nie had never heard of this special physique.
Furthermore, there were spirit bodies, Dao Bodies, and sword bodies in front of him.
That ‘human body’ seemed so out of place!
It was also incomprehensible.
“Li Yu, I will see what’s so special about you this time!” Ji Qinglan’s eyes were burning with flames, his entire body surging with fighting intent.
He must defeat Li Yu and prove himself to be the strongest.
Looking at Ji Qinglan’s robe fluttering despite the lack of wind, and his powerful aura emanating around, the elites of the Xi Liang Dynasty fell silent.
They knew that it was useless to say anything now.
The Heavenly Dao Rankings were there for everyone to see.
Therefore, Ji Qinglan must be suppressing his anger inside.
Whoever spoke at this timing was courting death!
But then again, what kind of special physique was this “human body”?
Just as countless people speculated what kind of powerful special physique Li Yu’s human body possessed, a row of words appeared below the “Human Body” up on the rankings.
Physique explained: Mastering extraordinary power with an ordinary physique, matching the gods of the heavens with a mortal body.
Everyone was stunned again when they saw this line of words.
“Did the Heavenly Dao Rankings mean that his body is like the physique of all of us ordinary people, not a special physique!”
“This means that Li Yu doesn’t have a special physique at all, but through cultivation, he obtained a powerful body that far surpasses all special physiques, and it’s one comparable to a god!”
“That should be the case. Li Yu only has an ordinary physique, just like us. However, he topped the rankings and surpassed the Connate Sword Body!”
“No way! Who would have thought that the first place on the 3000 Physique Rankings would be the most ordinary human body!”
“But isn’t this only possible with a special physique?”
“The Heavenly Dao Rankings did not specify it was a special physique. That’s what we thought. The human body is also a type of physique.
“It’s just that those special physiques are stronger than the human body. Meanwhile, Li Yu refined the most ordinary human body into the strongest physique! So he topped the rankings!”
“Nice, this man Li Yu is really awesome!”
At that point, countless people suddenly felt a sense of reverence.
They thought that only those with special physiques could enter the rankings, that only those born extraordinary were worthy.
However, Li Yu used the most ordinary physique to enter the top 3000 Physique Rankings.
He even surpassed everyone to reach the top of the rankings.
This was simply a miracle, a miracle that shocked and excited countless ordinary people.
At this moment!
Countless ordinary people were filled with respect and admiration for Li Yu.
Li Yu had the same ordinary physique as them. Yet, through his arduous cultivation and relentless hard work, he had forcefully turned his mortal body into a physique comparable to a god.
Hence, after they saw the interpretation of the Heavenly Dao Rankings, many ordinary people who were once depressed by the Heavenly Dao Rankings felt the same way.
Hope, fighting spirit and passion were reignited.
Li Yu allowed them to see the hope of an ordinary person surpassing a prodigy.
They saw a miracle where a mortal’s body was comparable to a god’s.
From now on, commoners could proudly say, “On the 3000 Physique Rankings, the human body is the strongest!”
“From today onwards, Li Yu is my life’s goal. Although I know that I will never catch up to him, he will always motivate me to move forward and never give up!”
“Same here. We cultivators should follow Li Yu as an example. We must work hard. Miracles exist in this world!”
“Perseverance. Today’s miracle has convinced us that as long as we work hard, we can become immortals too. We can compare to those blessed prodigies!”
“That’s right, that’s right! I have to work hard too! Mm, I’ll start right away, after I wake up tomorrow morning!”
