he first sword forced Ye Luo to retreat hastily.The second sword, which was in Ye Luo's hand, was shaken and flung away.The third sword, Su Xin's sword, was already 'placed' on Ye Luo's shoulder.It's..."My name"

Su Xinxun was quite surprised.

He made several appearances during the first stage of the hunt, showcasing his considerable skills. It is only natural that the Crimson Dragon Pavilion would record this information about him in their intel.

What Su Xin didn't expect was that his ranking would be so high.

"Top ten combat strength" Su Xin muttered.

Top ten...

He definitely has top ten tier strength, but in the first stage of the hunt, he mostly didn't show his full potential.

The Red Dragon Building only said it was suspected, meaning they didn't have absolute certainty.

"Su Xin, look, this intelligence only says that you killed Luo Xiu with a single face-off. Then you single-handedly fought against the three geniuses, including Ba Jiu, without falling behind. So I think you should be in the top ten combat power. As for the rest, there's nothing else."

"With such a record alone, I'm afraid many people wouldn't believe it," Duan Yunfeng said.

Su Xinyi smiled.

Yes, my record on this intelligence report is rather thin.

It was only the final night's battle, where I killed Luo Xiu and intercepted Ba Jiu's three victories for Duan Yunfeng. My record only stated that I had evenly matched Ba Jiu's three, but in reality, I had single-handedly eliminated all three of them.

“At that time, there were seven people who came at me in that battle. My record from that battle should have come from the first eliminated Luo Xianzi, Xiao Mo, or that woman who slipped away early when she saw things weren't going well. Even Su Xin was guessing based on what they said.”

Whether it was Lu Xianzi, Xiao Mo, or even the fragile girl who slipped away early, they only saw Su Xin kill Luo Xiu and fight with the three of Ba Jiu to a standstill. However, they didn't see Su Xin single-handedly slaughter the three of Ba Jiu later on.

And afterward, even if the Chīlóng Building investigated, those three, Bā Jiǔ, were all geniuses with lofty aspirations. They probably wouldn't be willing to admit that they had been eliminated by a cultivator who had achieved the Huahǎi stage together. Instead, they would say that Sū Xìn and Duàn Yúnfēng had teamed up to eliminate them.

Based on this record alone, it's reasonable to say that Su Xin has the strength to be ranked in the top twenty.

As for the top ten power rankings... it's really hard to convince people.

Ke Su could be bothered with these, and continued to scan the information on this genius.

……

Inside the camp, with the release of the latest genius information from the Chi Long Building, all the geniuses in the camp were abuzz with discussion.

This Wu Chao, where did he come from There's no introduction to his history at all. But this skill level, it's really strong!

"He's incredibly strong. According to this intel, very few people can withstand his attacks. Even Song family's young lady, who could potentially break into the top fifty hunters, was instantly killed by him. It's terrifying.

"

In terms of combat strength, this Wu Dynasty absolutely deserves to be ranked in the top ten hunters. But who is this Su Xin A mere Sea Transformation Great Accomplishment, how can he possibly be ranked in the top ten

"Being able to eliminate Luo Xiu with a single glance and simultaneously holding his own against the three geniuses, including Ba Jiu, is very impressive. It's enough to say that he could break into the top twenty, but for the top ten, there's still some gap, right"

Indeed, top 20 is good enough. Many geniuses considered capable of reaching the top 10 have much better records than him.

I don't know how the Red Dragon Hall ranks, but maybe Su Xin has some means.

"What means could he possibly have To be able to form a vast sea, I truly don't believe he has the combat strength of the top ten hunters.

"

The camp was abuzz with discussion.

> And most of the discussions focused on Wu Chao and Su Xin.

Unfortunately, after the first round of hunting, quite a few prodigies emerged from this newest batch of genius information. Among these newly-emerged prodigies, Wu Chao and Su Xin ranked highest.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then, the Wu Chao were renowned for their formidable combat prowess and impressive battle record. When these geniuses discussed the Wu Chao, they did so with awe and amazement.

Ke Su Xin... Although these geniuses in the camp were all surprised that Ke Su Xin could achieve such a feat with his Great Ocean Transformation, many people felt from the record of his achievements that Chi Long Lou had ranked him too high.

Su Xin, he doesn't even qualify to be in the top ten, and I think he's still a bit far from challenging for a top ten spot.

These morons.

In a corner of the campsite, a tall, muscular blond man stood there, listening to the discussions of some geniuses around him, especially the denigration of Su Xin by many people. A sneer couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.

“They have no idea what Su Xin’s true capabilities are, and they think he’s not qualified to be in the top ten How laughable!” Cang Yan scoffed. “Just wait until the next hunt. When these geniuses who look down on Su Xin actually encounter him, they’ll know.”

Unlike others, he actually encountered and fought Su Xin in the hunting grounds.

...but the result was that he was forced to proactively hand over thirty talismans, allowing Su Xin to let him go.

He was very clear that Su Xin's strength far surpassed his own, a talented individual who had the qualifications to challenge the top twenty. That level of power would undoubtedly place him firmly within the top ten.

Of course he knew, but he wouldn't say it.

As for Tang Xuan, even if the Red Dragon Building asked him about his elimination reasons, he would only say that Duan Yunfeng and Su Xin had teamed up to eliminate him. At most, he would give Su Xin's strength a slight compliment, but he would never admit that he was actually inferior to a Sea Transformation Stage Grandmaster.

……

Within the imperial city, in a beautiful manor, there is a lake.

A man in gray, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding a fishing rod, was quietly angling there.

The surface of the lake was calm and undisturbed, not a ripple in sight. The entire estate was also eerily silent, with not a sound to be heard.

The man in gray clothes had clear eyes, and just like that, he sat there quietly fishing. For most of an hour, there wasn't even the slightest movement.

The scene seems to be frozen.

Then, from the distance in the void, a figure dashed through and landed behind the man in gray.

Phew!

The wind moved, branches of the surrounding trees swayed, and the surface of the lake rippled gently under its influence.

The man in gray shifted his gaze slightly, having already moved out of the state of complete stillness he had been in just a moment ago.

"Sir

"

Suddenly, a frail old man arrived and bowed to the gray-clothed man.

This frail old man's face was weathered and creased, showing his advanced age. His cultivation level was extremely high, having already reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm.

He was just such a powerful individual, yet before the man in gray, he appeared extremely humble and respectful.

"Anything" the man in grey turned his head slightly.

"Sir, this is the message just sent back from the hunt," the frail old man respectfully presented a piece of paper.

"Hunting" the grey-cloaked man frowned.

The emperor's hunt, some competition between the younger ones, when would it ever disturb him

The gray-clothed man waved his hand slightly, and the paper note floated into his hand. After a quick glance, the gray-clothed man smiled.

"The little guy I praised before, actually qualified to compete for the top ten in this hunting competition"

"But, how could it be suspected" The man in gray looked over.

"To the master, actually, based on the records checked by the Red Dragon Building, he is still a little short of reaching the top ten. However, during our investigation process, the Red Dragon Building discovered that several geniuses who fought him at the time, such as Ba Jiu, had unusual expressions."

They admitted that even with the three of them working together, they could only fight Su Xin to a standstill. However, when it came to the process of their final elimination, they were unwilling to say more, as if Su Xin alone had eliminated all three of them.

Later, we also received some information from Tang Xuan, which led us to conclude that Su Xin had a top ten battle strength. The reason why he was described as "possibly" is due to the lack of publicly available battle records. We only used the word "possibly" because there was no definitive proof.

"Is that so" The man in gray nodded.

The Red Dragon Building is always very strict about its business.

What they investigated actually already shows that Su Xin has a top ten battle strength. Because there is no absolutely convincing record of achievement, fearing that it would cause too much doubt, they used the term "possibly" instead.

"Amazing, it's only been two months or so, right"

The man in gray remembered that he knew Su Xin because this young lad had gone to explore the Dragon Tower over two months ago.

He is the guardian of the Zhulong Tower.

At that time, he was quite surprised by Su Xin's displayed strength. Just a nascent cultivator of the Sea of Chemicals, he could so easily pass the first layer of the Dragon Seeking Tower.

For this, he even went to Tianyan Palace himself, wanting to recommend this little guy and let him get a special admission quota from Tianyan Palace in advance.

And now, just over two months have passed, this little guy directly participates in the royal city hunt, and even has the qualifications to challenge the top ten hunters

Such significant progress in just two months

"Qingyang, that old geezer, went to great lengths to stop this young one from entering the Tianyan Palace before. But now, seeing this young one's performance while hunting, he must be dumbfounded, right

"Humph!"

The man in gray snorted, “That stubborn old fool, he's been in the Tianyan Palace for so many years and still thinks about his former master. At this rate, I fear his position as palace master will soon be taken.”

The man in grey is very unhappy that Su Xin wasn't able to get a special recruitment quota from the Tianyan Palace.

After all, what a status he holds! A powerful Nirvana realm expert, one of the highest ranks in Chi Long Tower. He personally went to recommend him, yet he was met with a wall. Of course, he wouldn't be happy about that.

And he also knew that most of the high-level powerhouses in Tiangyan Palace back then were very impressed by Su Xin's talent and agreed to his special recruitment, except for that old guy named Qingyang.

The Heavenly Flame Palace has three palace masters, and Qingyang is one of them. He holds great power. He single-handedly opposed the proposal, even bringing up the incident where Su Xin was personally punished by the Heavenly Flame Emperor more than three years ago. This ultimately led to Su Xin's special recruitment quota being put on hold.

The man in gray understood perfectly the purpose behind Qingyang's strenuous efforts: it was simply an order from his old master.

"The Heavenly Flame Palace doesn't have any special recruitment quotas, so he participated in the Imperial City Hunt himself, relying on his absolute strength to snatch a disciple quota... This kid has guts, I like it."

The grey-clad man smiled, then immediately stood up, shouldering the bamboo pole as well.

"When does the next hunt begin" the gray-clothed man asked.

"The second stage of the hunt will take place in three days, within the Imperial City. After another three days, the final stage of the hunt will commence," the frail old man said.

"Alright, then you just watch. If that little one can make it to the final stage of the hunt, you tell me and I'll head over myself to have a look." The man in gray smiled.

This startled the frail old man.

To actually go and see for oneself in the capacity of this very person...

This means that this esteemed person places quite a high regard on Su Xin.

"Yes"

The frail old man nodded respectfully, then turned and walked away.

And this estate, including this lake before you, fell silent once more.

……out those who have broken through to the Void Realm. Jiusheng Mountain simply doesn’t care about Su Xin,” Su Xin thought to himself.He could guess that for the Nine Saints Mountain, which had been pas...
