[Class Advancement for All + Ancient Martial Saint + I Am the Taboo + National Rankings]
At the college entrance exam rankings announcement, candidates awaken their True Spirits and step onto the path of martial arts!
Gu Chen came to hear the rankings, only to be struck by a whip. Zhao Tianyang, an S-rank Thunder Python, sneered, “Useless trash. Get down!”
The next second.
[The Golden Rankings explode: 99.87% similarity to the True Spirit of the Martial Saint from two hundred years ago! First on the city rankings! Automatically promoted to the provincial rankings!]
The principal cried, “Impossible! It’s just a coincidence!!”
Gu Chen crushed the Thunder Python between two fingers and leaned close to Zhao Tianyang’s ear, chuckling.
“A Thunder Python? I’ve killed one much bigger.”
[The Blood-Clad Sect offers a two-hundred-million bounty]
Three hundred grandmasters formed the Bloodfiend Blade Formation. “Whoever you are, we’re taking you back for a blood test!”
Gu Chen said, “Come at me together. I’m in a hurry.”
One sword strike! The blood clouds split apart! Three hundred men, their blades shattered and their bodies crippled!
He crushed the sect master’s dantian and kicked him out the door. “Before dawn, every gang in Jiang City will disband. Be one second late, and I’ll come teach you how to die myself.”
[A seventh-tier beast tide breaches the city. The beasts slaughter the town.]
The defense line crumbles! The whole city despairs!
A streak of azure sword energy flares in the eastern suburbs, splitting into a hundred beams.
Three seconds! The beasts are wiped out! The rift is sealed!
The whole city falls silent.
[Global monitoring stations simultaneously record the sword energy waveform: 99.99% match with the sealing battle from two hundred years ago]
At the royal city military headquarters, someone slams the table and roars, “A coincidence can be 99.99%?! Activate the Founding Rankings access! Let the database make the call!”
On the day the National Rankings open, golden light tears through the clouds, broadcast live across the globe.
Golden words appear on the screen.
[First on the National Rankings · Gu Chen · Reincarnation of the Martial Saint!]
Gu Chen looks into the live camera. “I’m back.”
…
The fleets of the myriad races blot out the sky!
An ancient heartbeat stirs back to life!
Gu Chen says, “Come.”
“I’ll teach you how to write the word ‘death.’”
