Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 199 - Rising Ranking

Chapter 199: Rising Ranking

“Look, Senior Li Xiang has entered the top 100. He’s ranked 98th!”

“Senior Li Xiang is indeed worthy of being a genius martial artist of our Polar Academy. He managed to enter the top 100 so quickly. Moreover, with Senior Li Xiang’s strength, he will definitely be able to get further.”

“Senior Li Xiang’s battle scenes are really cool. He finishes off his opponents with a punch every time. He’s really strong.”

Li Xiang of the Polar Academy also made it into the top 100, which immediately invigorated the Polar Academy.

Li Hang could not help but smile. He glanced at Qu Chen beside him and said indifferently, “Qu Chen, it’s only a matter of time before my big brother enters the top 100. His martial arts are not fast and explosive, but they are the most consistent. I believe my big brother will definitely be able to advance steadily. In the end, even if he can’t enter the top 10, he will definitely be in the top 50!”

Li Hang was indeed very proud. That was his big brother, the pride of his family! This was the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, where all the best Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the world were gathered. Being ranked in the top 100 was already an incredible achievement.

Qu Chen also nodded and said, “Congratulations, Senior Li Xiang.”

Qu Chen’s companion beside her also said with a smile, “Senior Li Xiang is so outstanding. I believe Senior Li Hang will also do well in the future.”

“I’m already preparing to break the genetic lock. It’ll take at most a year, or as short as three to five months to see the outcome.”

Li Hang was in a good mood and said with a smile.

“What? Senior Li Hang is about to break the genetic lock too? Congratulations, Senior. Chenchen, Senior Li Hang will definitely break the genetic lock, right?”

Qu Chen was a little distracted, however. She stared at the screen as if she was looking for something, but she still could not find that familiar name, let alone the figure that was the object of her concern.

Hearing her companion’s question, she nodded and said, “Then I wish you luck in breaking the genetic lock soon, Senior Li Hang.”

Li Hang was originally very pleased with himself. He was about to break the genetic lock at such a young age, which could be considered rather outstanding even in the entire Polar Academy. However, when he saw Qu Chen’s absent-mindedness and perfunctory well wishes, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He knew what Qu Chen was looking for. Of course she was looking for Lin Feng’s name.

“Hmph. Lin Feng has only broken the genetic lock for a few months. He was probably eliminated in the first round. How can he possibly be in the top 100?”

Li Hang was a little discontent, but he did not show it. He liked Qu Chen, so he naturally had to tolerate her past. He would prove to Qu Chen with his excellence who was more suitable for her.

Just as Li Hang was secretly determined to work harder, Qu Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up as she stared intently at the screen. Qu Chen’s companion beside her also turned pale with shock. “This is bad. Senior Li Xiang has been surpa.s.sed. He’s temporarily ranked 99th. There’s a name of a new martial artist.”

“What?”

Li Hang focused his gaze. At this moment, on the huge screen, a name appeared at the 98th place… Lin Feng!

Li Hang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned.

How was that possible? Hadn’t Lin Feng only broken the genetic lock for a few months, less than a year? He could only be a bystander in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion. He was only here to broaden his horizons, and was cannon fodder at most.

How did he get into the top 100 all of a sudden? He even suppressed the big brother that was like a G.o.d to Li Hang, Li Xiang. How was this possible? How could Lin Feng be stronger than his big brother?

At this moment, Li Hang was stunned. The confidence he had just built collapsed instantly. So what if he broke the genetic lock? Could he compare to his big brother? If he couldn’t even compare to his big brother, how could he compare to Lin Feng, who was stronger than his big brother?

“No, no, it’s impossible for Lin Feng to be stronger than Big Brother. Big Brother was just careless for a moment. He’ll definitely be able to suppress Lin Feng!”

Li Hang’s entire body was trembling slightly. He could barely maintain his composure.

On the other hand, Qu Chen was overjoyed when she saw Lin Feng’s name. She even found Lin Feng’s battle scene immediately.

All the top 100 partic.i.p.ating martial artists had battle scenes. Qu Chen looked at Lin Feng on the screen. He seemed to be different from before in Central Sea. His face was no longer as pale, but his gaze had become deeper.

However, Qu Chen had a very familiar feeling. The Lin Feng on the screen gradually evoked the memories in her mind. It was as if the two figures were gradually overlapping and finally merging into one.

The top 100 rankings on the screen changed almost constantly, especially the positions after the 80th place. Some people who were barely in the top 100 moments ago were immediately squeezed out.

However, Lin Feng’s appearance still attracted some attention. It was not because Lin Feng was ranked 98th, but because of his stability!

That’s right, stability! After Lin Feng achieved 40 consecutive victories, no matter what opponent he faced, he would defeat his opponent in one move. The battle never lasted for more than five seconds.

His winning streak also increased rapidly.

Forty-one matches, forty-two matches, forty-three matches, forty-five matches…

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s winning streak steadily increased to 50. His ranking also rose from 98th to 88th, rising by 10 places.

These 10 places were not to be underestimated. Lin Feng had steadily improved his ranking. This was simply too rare. Those martial artists who were ranked very high were basically already ahead very early on, and had all the advantages. It was simply too difficult for other martial artists to catch up or even overtake them.

Only Lin Feng’s ranking had been steadily rising.

“This lad is really full of surprises.”

Among the Divine Realm martial artists, Hao s.h.i.+yi narrowed his eyes, but he could not hide the smile on his lips. He even glanced smugly at Xia Laogui beside him.

Xia Laogui curled his lips and said, “Hao s.h.i.+yi, what are you so smug about? Young Lin Feng isn’t your disciple either.”

“Haha, Xia Laogui, stay envious all you want. Lin Feng may not be my disciple, but I saved his life. That sissy Zhang Zifeng actually almost killed Lin Feng back then. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t satisfying enough. I should have beaten him up again.”

“That’s true, but Lord Invincible Fist Sage has good judgment. He paid attention to this Lin Feng from the beginning. It was also Lord Sage who asked you to personally go to Stone City to save Lin Feng, right?”

Xia Laogui seemed to know a lot about this matter.

“Of course. How can our judgment compare to Lord Sage’s? Not only has this lad practiced the Void Bubble, his mental will seems to be exceptionally strong. I wonder what method he used to increase the power of the Void Bubble to the extreme. Tsk tsk, he’s simply invincible and unstoppable.”

Xia Laogui glanced at Yumo in the distance and shook his head. “He’s indeed exceptional. He’s only at the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, but he can already increase the power of Astral martial arts. That lad does have some ideas. It’s just a pity about Yumo. I wanted to play matchmaker for the two of them, but that lad didn’t appreciate my good intentions. Hmph, is my Yumo inferior?”

“Xia Laogui, you have the nerve to play matchmaker? The young lad has a bright future ahead of him. Of course he has to follow his heart. If he likes someone, he likes them; if he doesn’t like someone, he doesn’t like them. If he goes against his heart, his path of martial arts won’t be so smooth. I’m warning you, don’t try anything funny.”

At this point, Hao s.h.i.+yi’s expression also became extremely solemn.

“Come on, do you think I don’t know that? Do you really think so highly of your young lad?”

“Of course. Just watch. I think he should have no problem getting into the top ten. He might even be able to charge to the first place! The lad is very ambitious. So he’s been holding back such a big move and never mentioned it to me.”

Hao s.h.i.+yi said cheerfully. He was in an extremely pleasant mood.
