However, seeing that Mo Luo Dan had already reached the pinnacle of the Qi Drawing Realm yet still longed for the Elite Warrior Ranking, it seemed that the lowest threshold to enter this ranking would require one to have passed the Qi Drawing Realm.

“Young Master, at the bottom of the Elite Warrior Ranking, it’s generally possible to enter if one has reached the pinnacle of the Qi Drawing Realm. However, I don’t know if it’s just my bad luck, but many geniuses have emerged among the young martial artists of my generation. As a result, the quality of this year’s Elite Warrior Ranking is much higher than in previous years. Basically, only those who have reached the level of a Quasi-Grandmaster have a chance to be listed at the end of the ranking. As for the top five on the list, they are simply unprecedented geniuses. Each of them, in the past, could have caused a sensation as a dragon amongst men, and this year, suddenly five such individuals have emerged,” Mo Luo Dan said somewhat resentfully, dissatisfied that he had never made it onto the Elite Warrior Ranking.

He had been wandering abroad for ten years and had long since lost the opportunity to be nominated for the Elite Warrior Ranking, but he still had a deep obsession with it.

After all, that was the greatest honor for martial artists in Yan Country.

“Tell me about these geniuses,” Xu Fan said, his interest piqued as he asked Mo Luo Dan.

“The fifth place on the Elite Warrior Ranking belongs to the eldest son of the Su Family, Su Chen. He is apparently only twenty-five this year, but from a young age, he was taken by his father to practice in the Thousand Layer Ancient Tower within Su Province. He only appeared in the Ancient Martial World in the last year or two, but as soon as he made his appearance, he was already at the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Recently, it’s been said he killed a group of villainous martial artists in Su Province. The master of those martial artists, who already had the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, came seeking retaliation, only to be killed on the spot by Su Chen in just ten moves. Instantly, many unscrupulous martial artists hurriedly left Su Province, no longer daring to make a living there,”

“Ranked fourth on the Elite Warrior Ranking is Qingfeng of Taiji Sect. He was originally a door attendant for the reverend master of Taiji Sect and not even a martial artist. However, during one of the reverend master’s sermons, he had a sudden epiphany and stepped into the Martial Dao Realm. His strength grew uncontrollably and quickly rose to the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. It’s said that Yang Yixuan, the second disciple of Kunlun Sect, once fought against him. Qingfeng defeated the then top-five ranked Yang Yixuan in just three moves. As a result, Yang Yixuan fell out of the top five of the Elite Warrior Ranking, and Qingfeng, from an unknown small-time disciple, shot directly up to the fourth place on the list,”

“The third place on the Elite Warrior Ranking is Li Tianfan, the eldest disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect. His talent is extraordinarily high, and he is deeply passionate about the Sword Dao. With his Treasured Sword, Green Peak, he has slain many martial artists who committed wrongdoings. Moreover, the Shushan Sect has always considered itself a righteous path, and Li Tianfan is somewhat of an old-school person, believing that it’s his duty to intervene in matters he sees as unjust. As a result, his reputation has been very strong in the martial artists’ circle for years, with many young disciples admiring him greatly. However, for those martial artists who like to take shortcuts and engage in underhanded methods, he is someone they despise intensely.”

“The second place on the Elite Warrior Ranking is the granddaughter of the Ye Family head, named Ye Xinyu. It was said that from birth she was destined to be a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a martial talent that appears only once in four thousand years. However, her high ranking above Li Tianfan and Qingfeng is not just due to her martial prowess but rather because she is a peerless beauty, akin to a closed, shy flower. Nearly everyone who has seen her has been stunned by her beauty. So, although her strength is formidable, I feel that her ranking in second place is somewhat inflated. The Martial World also has its fair share of bootlickers,”

“The final one is Chu Wuya, the eldest disciple from our Western Regions’ Kunlun Sect. He is the collective idol in the eyes of the Western Region martial artists. He’s two years younger than me and entered the Sect three years after I did. When I was in the Strong Body Realm, he had already stepped into the initial stage of the Temper Body Realm. When I reached the Qi Drawing pinnacle, he had already been a Martial Arts Grandmaster for five years. Three years ago, ten Yogic martial artists from the White Elephant Kingdom secretly infiltrated Mount Kunlun, only for Chu Wuya to kill all ten by himself. Half a month later, news came that among these ten individuals, three had already reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, with the remaining seven possessing the pinnacle strength of the Qi Drawing Realm. These ten initially thought that with their formidable strength, they could go to Mount Kunlun and execute the headmaster of Kunlun Sect, never expecting that a single Kunlun Sect eldest disciple would capture them all. After this battle, Kunlun Sect’s power firmly seated itself at the top of the Martial World, and Chu Wuya became the deserved top genius of the younger generation, ranking first on the Elite Warrior Ranking.”

After listening to Mo Luo Dan’s vivid descriptions, Xu Fan found the Ancient Martial World of Yan Country quite intriguing. Initially, Xu Fan had thought that within the Ancient Martial World of Yan Country, the likes of Liu Simu, Su Wujin, and Chen Miao, who arrogantly dominated the underground boxing ring, were the top figures. He had no idea that they were nothing more than small fries in the actual Ancient Martial World and that such people were precisely the target of stern crackdowns. If they encountered the Shushan Sect’s eldest disciple Li Tianfan, who abhors evil, he would probably slay them with a single sword strike.

“If the Kunlun Sect is so formidable, then what realm might their Sect Head, the supreme master, be in?” Xu Fan asked Mo Luo Dan slowly.

“Young Master, as for that, I really can’t answer because I truly don’t know. But, I’ve heard them say that above a Martial Arts Grandmaster, there is the legendary Great Supreme State. Considering the Kunlun Sect Head taught Chu Wuya, someone with such extraordinary talent, I’m guessing he must at least be a sage at the Great Supreme State,” Mo Luo Dan said with a look of yearning.

“The Great Supreme State?” Xu Fan murmured, thinking that this Great Supreme State must be akin to the Foundation Establishment Realm in Cultivation terms.

Although Xu Fan had absorbed the Pei Yuan Pill and his physique had become invincible below Foundation Establishment, his true strength hadn’t yet reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Knowing that there were people in this world who, through their Martial Dao Cultivation, could comprehend the Great Supreme State and reach the Foundation Establishment Realm usually only cultivators could achieve, Xu Fan became unnervingly alert.

In this world, not only did he face threats to his life from firearms such as guns and cannons, but there were also those stronger than him in the Great Supreme State, making it imperative for him to accelerate the enhancement of his own strength.

However, in this world, reaching the Great Supreme State was already an incredibly elusive peak. But Xu Fan had touched the ceiling of the entire universe as the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor and had immense confidence in his strength.
