"In the first stage of the test, the one who ranked first is...Xu Ming!"
However, the city lord announced the ranking without hesitation.
"Ranked second, Qian Yishang!"
Such a ranking should be expected by most people. However, Qian Yishang's face suddenly became ugly.
"I'm not convinced!" Qian Yishang said sadly, "My level of understanding of the way of heaven is so high. According to the usual judging rules, the first ranking should be mine!"
Usually, the judging rules for the first stage of the test are as follows: the total score of the Tiandao Awareness Level Test is "100 points", and the total score of the Tiandao Compatibility Test is also "100 points"; the scores of the two tests are added together to determine the score.
The higher it is, the higher the ranking.
Qian Yishang argued vigorously: "My Dao is seven feet and seven inches tall, so in terms of the Heavenly Dao perception level, I can get seventy-seven points. And in terms of the Heavenly Dao compatibility, I am Seven-Star Level A, so I can also get seventy-seven points."
More than seventy points! - Adding the two scores together, I can get at least one hundred and fifty points!"
"And Xu Ming..." Qian Yishang continued, "Although he can get a perfect score of 100 points for the degree of compatibility with the way of heaven; however, his understanding of the way of heaven is only one foot and one inch, and he can only get a dozen points! -
- Adding the two items together, his score is less than 120 points!"
Qian Yishang said with great dissatisfaction: "I am at 150 points, and he is at 120 points. Why is he ranked first!? - But City Lord, the ranking you gave is a little unfair.
Fair, right?”
Qian Yishang also relied on his extraordinary background in the divine realm, so he dared to question City Lord Naihe like this.
"Unfair?" City Lord Naihe said calmly, "Qian Yishang, the judgment rules you mentioned are indeed correct! But... those are just the judgment rules under 'normal' circumstances!"
"What is a normal situation?" City Lord Naihe said with a smile, "That is - if those who take the test are 'only' geniuses at your level, then it is called a normal situation!"
However, the city lord specially emphasized the word "just", which made Qian Yishang look embarrassed - this was a sign of contempt for him!
"But now, an 'unusual' situation has occurred!" City Lord Naihe said with a calm smile, "The King Level Trial is meant to screen out the best geniuses! Xu Ming, a ten-star genius, has no doubt about his talent;
Got the 'first' ranking in the first phase of the test, any questions?"
"But...his level of understanding the way of heaven is so much lower than mine..." Qian Yishang clung to this point.
"Lower than you?" City Lord Naihe sneered, "How old are you now? Judging from your life breath, you should be over five million years old; and Xu Ming is only five thousand years old! - Your cultivation time
, a thousand times longer than Xu Ming! Are you embarrassed to compare your understanding of the way of heaven with Xu Ming?"
However, the city lord didn't know that Xu Ming's real age was only around fifty; Qian Yishang's cultivation years were not a thousand times longer than Xu Ming's, but...a hundred thousand times longer than Xu Ming's!
But it doesn't matter!
Because, whether it is "a thousand times" or "a hundred thousand times", anyway, to put it simply - Xu Ming and Qian Yishang are completely different in talent between heaven and earth!
It’s not a level of talent at all!
There is nothing to compare with!
"I……"
Qian Yishang wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by City Lord Naihe: "Think again, what achievements did you have when you were five thousand years old!? - With your talent, you still want to compete with Xu Ming
Than? It’s really shameless!”
However, the city lord was not polite when he spoke!
Qian Yishang was so speechless that his neck shrank and he was speechless - just as City Lord Naihe said, there is no comparison in talent between him and Xu Ming!
"Hmph!" After a long while, Qian Yishang snorted angrily, "Okay, City Lord! As you said, the first stage of the test is mainly to compare talents; then, the second stage, the third stage
The stage test should be a test of strength, right?"
"Strength counts..." City Lord Naihe said helplessly.
However, the city lord certainly hopes that Xu Ming can win the king-level trial; after all, a ten-star genius is definitely the perfect candidate for his direct successor!
However, the city lord knows very well that the possibility of Xu Ming winning is very small; because the second and third stages of the test mainly rely on strength rather than talent!
In the view of City Lord Naihe, Xu Ming is only "one foot and one inch higher" and his strength is definitely not comparable to that of other geniuses.
But is it really so?
No!
Xu Ming just has a low understanding of the way of heaven, but he is not weak in strength! - Xu Ming's "eighteenth level" strength is not fake! Compared with Qian Yishang, he is only stronger but not weaker!
Qian Yishang wants to crush Xu Ming in terms of strength... but he really thinks too much!
…
After announcing the rankings, City Lord Naihe led one hundred and thirty geniuses to Daohen Palace.
In the hall, 308 powerful Dao marks are placed on a high wall, arranged in a pyramid shape - from the outside, each of the powerful Dao marks are similar; however, the higher they are placed, the more likely they are to be.
The more precious it is.
On the top of the pyramid, there is only one powerful Dao mark, which is the Dao mark left by the "Emperor-level existence".
"That's it!" Xu Ming's eyes were fixed on this powerful mark at a glance, "On the way here just now, the city lord specially sent a message to me to tell me that the emperor-level existence can be called the top existence in the divine domain.
; Let me cherish the opportunity and understand this powerful mark..."
Xu Ming actually also wanted to see how powerful the traces left by the "emperor-level existence" would be!
"Xu Ming!"
Suddenly, Xu Ming received a message; to his surprise, the message came from Qian Yishang.
"Huh?" Xu Ming couldn't help but look at him doubtfully.
Qian Yishang continued to secretly transmit the message: "Xu Ming, this 'Emperor Level Dao Mark' is extremely important to me! Can you give it up and let me understand it?"
What?
Xu Ming was stunned after hearing Qian Yishang's words - how "naive" must he be to say such a thing?
Immediately afterwards, Qian Yishang said: "Of course, don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain!"
"Oh?" Although it was impossible for Xu Ming to give him the opportunity to comprehend the Emperor-level Daohen, he still asked with interest, "What can you give?"
Qian Yishang Niuxu coaxed: "From now on, when you come to God's Domain and come to Huangquan Palace, I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you!"
"This condition... I'm really not interested in it!" Xu Ming smiled, "Is there anything practical? Like a sacred stone or something?"
"Of course there is no problem with the divine stone!" Qian Yishang said, "As long as you come to Huangquan Palace to find me, I will give you ten thousand divine stones, okay?"
Ten Thousand Divine Stones...
That sounds like a lot!
However, Xu Ming said: "I want it 'now', can you give it to me?"
"You want it now?" Qian Yishang shook his head quickly, "This is impossible! I am in the God's Domain, and there is no way I can send the God Stone to the world of dust!"
"Oh... that is to say, even if I give up the emperor-level Dao Mark to you, I still won't get any benefits, right? - In this case, I won't have any interest!" Xu Ming actually has no interest at all!
Er did not want to do this "deal". The reason why he asked so many questions was actually to test whether it would be easy or difficult to come from the realm of gods to the world of dust!
The answer is: difficult!
At the same time, Xu Ming had a concept in his mind - in the God's Domain, Saint Emperor City is probably better than Huangquan Palace! After all, people from Saint Emperor City can come to the world of dust, but it is "impossible" for people from Huangquan Palace to come.
"I don't know what kind of power the Holy Emperor City where Yin Ran is in is in the divine domain..." Xu Ming suddenly missed Yin Ran.
"Xu Ming!" Seeing Xu Ming rejecting her, Qian Yishang's tone immediately turned cold, "I asked for your kindness, but you refused to give me even this face? - Do you believe it or not, you won't do it today?
Give me face, if you come to Huangquan Palace from now on, I will have plenty of ways to kill you!"
"Oh?" Xu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really?"
"Yes!" Qian Yishang thought Xu Ming had softened, and his tone became stronger.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ming smiled playfully: "If that's the case, why should I go to the Underworld Palace? - I'm going to die, what can you do to me?"
