Supreme Divine Book

Everyone's eyes fell on the ten meter high stone monument. The names of the sixteen geniuses began to twist and move, moving back and forth on the monument like tadpoles. Then it became like a lantern, quickly moving and changing.    

    

Swoosh!    

    

A dazzling white light flashed, and fourteen of the sixteen names instantly disappeared. The remaining two names were impressively, 'Chou Ying', 'Zhang Xiang'.    

    

The first battle, Chou Ying versus Zhang Xiang.    

    

The Star Observation Platform stirred up a wave of excited noise, and on the battle stage, the geniuses successively walked off the stage. Leaving behind Chou Ying and another young man with short hair who looked slightly thinner than usual.    

    

Han Chen also returned to the spectator's stand, standing together with Qiao Feilin.    

    

Chou Ying's strength was only at the peak of the seventh stage of the morphogenesis but he was still able to occupy a spot on the Heavenly Rankings, which was enough to prove that he was extraordinary.    

    

Chou Ying stood on the stage, her back straight like a javelin. Her entire body was emitting a sharp aura, giving off the feeling of an unsheathed treasured sword.    

    

His opponent was Zhang Xiang. Having the cultivation of the eighth level of the morphogenesis, and also a genius blessed by the heavens. Last year, he had also participated in the Heavenly Rankings Competition, and was similarly disqualified by the Chou Ying in front of him.    

    

The senior students at and above the level of 'Mansion' knew the grudge between the two. They were quite surprised that the two of them had met in the first battle.    

    

"Chou Ying, we met again." Zhang Xiang's chin slightly lifted and traces of ridicule could be seen between his brows.    

    

However, Chou Ying's face was as calm as a zombie's, her sunken eyes did not reveal a single emotion. Her throat let out a deep sound. "So what?"    

    

"Hmph, we met today, I broke through the eighth level of morphogenesis. And you, are still at the seventh level. "    

    

"Defeating you is enough."    

    

Even before the battle started, the air was already filled with the smell of gunpowder. However, this was what the audience wanted to see. The more exciting the battle was, the more they would enjoy it. This was a battle between geniuses, a struggle between dragons and tigers, a battle between winds and clouds. Only the battles for the Heavenly Rankings could be seen.    

    

"What a cold person." Qiao Feilin muttered softly.    

    

"Yes." Han Chen nodded his head. The impression Chou Ying gave him was that of a wolf that was walking over while stepping on the enemy's corpse. There was only one type of cold aura like this.    

    

That was "Assassin", one of the most mysterious forces in the The City of Innocence, the Blood Drawing Pavilion.    

    

Elder Kun Yang spread open his arms, and shouted loudly, "First battle, begin!"    

    

Begin!    

    

A voice as powerful as a mountain echoed. Under the attentive gaze of the crowd, Zhang Xiang took the initiative to attack, the powerful aura of the eighth level of morphogenesis surging forth like a rolling wave towards Chou Ying.    

    

"Chou Ying, I have already waited a long time for this day to come. Today, I will definitely defeat you."    

    

Zhang Xiang shouted loudly, and like a cheetah leaping forward, an icy-blue blade appeared in his hand the moment he arrived in midair. The blade was shorter, less than a meter. It was similar to an ordinary blade, but it was a bit wider.    

    

An icy-blue light surrounded the blade of the knife and a spinning ice mirror quickly formed in front of the blade. Everyone in the audience was secretly clicking their tongues, it had only been the first attack, and it looked like Zhang Xiang's hatred for Chou Ying was not ordinary.    

    

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiang's attack had already arrived in front of Chou Ying. However, the latter stood on the spot with a calm expression without the slightest fluctuation of energy in her body.    

    

What was going on?    

    

"Hehe, don't put on airs, I won't be fooled by you."    

    

A sinister look flashed past Zhang Xiang's eyes, he held the blade hilt tightly and chopped towards Chou Ying's head with the force of a mountain. Not only did this slash use the momentum from his dive, it also contained eighty to ninety percent of Zhang Xiang's strength. Its destructive power could not be underestimated.    

    

Under everyone's shocked gazes, they saw Zhang Xiang's ice blue blade cut Chou Ying's head from head to tail like tofu.    

    

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! A strong wave of force crashed into the stone tiles, causing the ground to shake and dust to fly into the air, and stone chips flew everywhere. The spiderweb-like cracks spread out in all directions, reaching a length of seventy to eighty meters, directly splitting the edge of the battle stage.    

    

Everyone present was dumbstruck. They weren't shocked by the might of Zhang Xiang's attack. After Chou Ying was slashed into two, he showed no signs of pain.    

    

Chou Ying's grave face had a red line sticking out of it. She grinned at Zhang Xiang, revealing his white teeth.    

    

No matter how domineering Zhang Xiang was just now, he was now getting goosebumps from that smile. He forcefully suppressed the bewilderment in his heart and raised the icy-blue blade in his hand once more, slashing at the other party's neck.    

    

"Unorthodox. You won't be able to scare me."    

    

Bang! When Zhang Xiang's blade cut down, Chou Ying's entire body actually shattered into pieces. Endless amounts of shards and fragments were like ice crystals that filled the sky and danced about, like shredded pieces of paper.    

    

"It's not an unorthodox technique. It's just an innate divine ability." At this moment, an ice-cold voice sounded out from the crowd below the stage. And this voice was exactly the same as Chou Ying's.    

    

What?    

    

Everyone present was shocked, and Zhang Xiang was even more shocked. Swoosh! A sharp sound of wind breaking came from the air. A black shadow in the audience quickly rushed up onto the arena and charged toward the back of Zhang Xiang.    

    

Zhang Xiang's expression changed drastically. His first reaction was to dodge to the right. However, that black shadow's speed was extremely fast. Before Zhang Xiang could take two steps forward, a silver ray of light directly hit his opponent's back.    

    

Hiss!    

    

A wave of blood mist gushed out and the silver colored light directly penetrated Zhang Xiang's chest. The latter spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying. He heavily fell on the ground, twitching his body.    

    

Dark red blood flowed out from Zhang Xiang's mouth and quickly dyed a large patch of the stage red.    

    

Standing behind him was another Chou Ying. To be more precise, it should be the real Chou Ying. The one who was' killed 'just now was just an avatar created by him.    

    

The appearance of this scene stunned everyone present for a moment.    

    

Pu Tianze, Ye Weini, Gongsun Zhe and the other geniuses on the Heavenly Rankings also revealed looks of astonishment. Even the five Palace Lords couldn't help but narrow their eyes in admiration.    

    

"It's actually a divine clone." Han Chen frowned slightly as his mind couldn't help but think of a good friend from the past, 'Ke Yinye'. What he had was the divine ability of his clone. However, Ke Yinye's ability to use the avatar technique was clearly not as good as Chou Ying's. The avatar on the stage just now had managed to fool everyone.    

    

"This person is not simple. Before the battle began, he had already made his preparations." If you meet him, be careful. " It was rare for Yan Wu to give someone such an evaluation, especially when he was someone at the peak of the seventh stage of morphogenesis.    

    

Han Chen nodded his head, indicating that he knew what he was doing. At the same time, the Blood Painting Pavilion had become more cautious of the mysterious killer powerhouses behind Chou Ying.    

    

Elder Kun Yang slightly nodded, walked forward and announced, "First battle, Chou Ying wins!"    

    

Crash! *    

    

The audience burst into an uproar of cheers. The severely injured Zhang Xiang had been carried away to be treated. As for whether he could be saved, that was entirely up to the Five Palaces Sect.    

    

Amidst the cheers, Chou Ying still walked down the stage expressionlessly, back to the Heaven Ranking Genius area. Other than Pu Tianze, Ye Weini and Gongsun Zhe. The others all gave him strange looks.    

    

When he walked to Ling Wanquan's side, the latter suddenly laughed lightly, "Your surprise attack was not bad, but it was used too early. If I were you, I would save this card for the second round. "    

    

"Thanks for the reminder." Chou Ying replied calmly, and then went back to her own seat.    

    

Ling Wanquan was furious, what was the other party's attitude? "Clenching his fists, he puffs out the air in his chest." "Hmph, isn't it just winning the first battle? What's there to be proud about?"    

    

The other geniuses all had their own thoughts. This year's Heavenly Rankings competition was clearly much more turbid than last year's. Although it was only the first round, Chou Ying's performance had already caused the hearts of the geniuses who were ranked last to fluctuate.    

    

Especially with the appearance of such a powerful dark horse like Han Chen, perhaps the rankings on the Heaven Rankings would have a huge change.    

    

Waiting until the atmosphere stabilized a little, Elder Kun Yang shouted loudly, "Next, the second round is about to begin."    

    

The crowd's gaze quickly shifted to the stone monument below the stage. The middle-aged elder understood, and he lifted his hand, channeling his martial spirit energy into the stone monument. and Zhang Xiang's names instantly disappeared, and the chain of names started to change. A white light flashed, and two names appeared on the stone monument.    

    

Pu Tianze, Lin Ye.    

    

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The atmosphere of the entire arena instantly lit up. When they saw the three words' Pu Tianze ', all kinds of screams of girls could be heard. The ground was trembling.    

    

"Senior Tianze will definitely win."    

    

"Come on senior Tianze, the champion will definitely be you."    

    

It had to be said that Pu Tianze's popularity was truly high to the extreme, and the reason why he had such a popularity, was all because of his enchanter-like talent and his extremely strong strength.    

    

"Hehe, it's my turn so soon." Pu Tianze revealed an enchanting smile, and raised his eyebrows at Ye Weini, who was beside him, and walked towards the fighting stage.    

    

Without waiting for Pu Tianze to step onto the stage, a voice filled with helplessness came out, "I, I forfeit!"    

    

Abstaining?    

    

Everyone was startled. They saw the young man named Lin Ye raise his right hand with an unwilling and depressed expression on his face. His cultivation was about the same as Zhang Xiang's just now, at the eighth level of morphogenesis.    

    

Lin Ye could already be considered a top genius among the geniuses of the Five Prefectures. But after meeting Pu Tianze, he did not have the confidence to face off against him.    

    

No one laughed at Lin Ye's abstention. Because his opponent was Pu Tianze, the second ranked demon on the Heavenly Rankings.    

    

"What a pity." Pu Tianze shrugged his shoulders, smiling as he rubbed his nose.    

    

"Lin Ye forfeited, Pu Tianze wins." Elder Kun Yang did not procrastinate at all, and directly announced the next battle, "We will proceed to the third battle."    

    

The clan elders below the fighting arena started to activate their stone tablets, causing Pu Tianze and Lin Ye's names to disappear. The other names started to quickly circulate on the stage.    

    

With a flash of white light, the names of the two contestants froze on the screen. And the first name, shockingly, was Han Chen.
