Chapter 2333: Chapter 2382: Ranking

Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked up and cast a glance. When he realized it was the girl from the Lost Heavenly Realm named Yu Luo, his mouth couldn’t help but twitch. Today was a remarkably important grand ceremony for the Northern Heavenly State, yet this woman was outright provoking them to their faces. Her attempt to stir up trouble was simply too obvious.

The crowd from the Angel Clan was infuriated by her words. The older Great Angels could still maintain their composure, but among the younger ones, who could endure such an insult?

Yun Wanxiao snorted, "You’re nothing more than a One-Winged Great Angel. What are you getting so smug about?"

Yu Luo, hands behind her back, swept a cold gaze over him. "I have nothing to say to a piece of trash."

This remark truly enraged Yun Wanxiao. He was the widely acknowledged number one Prodigy among the younger generation of the Northern Heavenly State, and yet, he had been humiliated by this woman twice!

What made him explode with even more anger was that Yu Luo shifted her gaze, her eyes landing on Jiang Fan with a faint, mocking smile. "Only you, perhaps, might be able to put up a fight against me."

This was undoubtedly shifting the heat onto someone else! Everyone in the Northern Heavenly State, from the Great Angels down to the Angel Leaders, turned in unison to look at Jiang Fan. Already harboring dissatisfaction toward Jiang Fan for being an outsider, they felt even more displeased at this moment.

"The Human Clan has stolen all the spotlight in the Northern Heavenly State!"

"Did the Human Clan never teach him that he should keep a low profile on someone else’s turf?"

Jiang Fan, who had been happily enjoying the drama with a smile on his face, could no longer maintain his amusement. His expression darkened as he glared at Yu Luo. He realized that after all that talking, this woman was actually trying to draw everyone’s hostility toward him. Was it just because he had stolen her spotlight in front of the West Empress? She was holding a grudge over just that? Was her mind narrower than the eye of a needle?

Yun Wanxiao was furious. Why was Jiang Fan involved in everything? Gritting his teeth, he turned to the East Emperor. "East Emperor, please begin the evaluation right now!

"We must redeem the reputation of the Northern Heavenly State!"

The East Emperor glanced at Yu Luo. The people of the Lost Heavenly Realm had indeed gone a bit too far. Then, his eyes swept over Xia Chaoge and Jiang Fan beside her, a trace of displeasure flashing in his gaze. "Begin."

The various Great Angels approached the young Prodigies they were instructing and lifted the restrictions concealing their cultivation. One after another, impressive auras erupted.

"Zhou Yunming, One Qi Angel Lord. Cultivation refined."

"Sikong Luàn, Two Qi Angel Commander. Cultivation refined."

"Lou Wangshan, One Qi Angel Lord. Cultivation refined."

As a long list of names was read out, both the East Emperor and the West Empress found it difficult to maintain their expressions. The so-called "refined cultivation" simply meant they were stagnating in the same realm.

Jiang Fan gave a slight nod. Even in the Northern Heavenly State with its profound foundation, and even with the guidance of a Great Angel, it was no easy feat for an Angel Leader to achieve a breakthrough. Thinking back to the Central Earth before the war with the Ancient Giants, it had been incredibly common for those in the Divinity Transformation Realm to struggle for decades or even centuries without breaking through to the next realm.

The reason why so many Divinity Transformation experts emerged later on, their strengths surging continuously, was due to the countless merits rewarded by three major wars: the war with the Ancient Giants, the battle of the Hell Realm, and the expedition against the Heavenly Realm. That, combined with the astonishing resources Jiang Fan had plundered from various places, was what led to the explosive rise of the Divinity Transformation Realm in the Central Earth. During times of peace, it was no easy task for the Northern Heavenly State to achieve large-scale breakthroughs.

Yu Luo said flatly, "Is this what you call redeeming your reputation?

"This is just proving that the Northern Heavenly State has no true talents, isn’t it?"

The gathered Angels were bottling up a stomach full of anger. They were losing face on a cosmic scale!

"Liuzhou Yun, broken through from One Qi Angel Lord to Two Qi Angel Commander." A Great Angel read out aloud.

Only then did the Angels in attendance let out a slight breath of relief. But it was only a breath of relief. Progressing from a One Qi Angel Lord to a Two Qi Angel Commander was an improvement, but it wasn’t particularly dazzling.

In the list that followed, the vast majority had only refined their cultivation. Only a very small minority broke through from One Qi Angel Lord to Two Qi Angel Commander. Among the mid to High Tier Angel Leaders, not a single one managed to push into a higher level.

The West Empress frowned slightly. This result was well within expectations. However, displaying such a performance in front of the people from the Lost Heavenly Realm was somewhat embarrassing.

The East Emperor also wore a dark expression, not saying a word. As he looked at the many Angel Leaders, the dissatisfaction in his gaze was so intense it almost leaped out of his eyes.

The atmosphere, which should have been bustling and lively, had already plummeted to the freezing point. No one spoke anymore; they merely listened quietly as one name after another was read out. Even the voices of the instructing Great Angels responsible for reading the names grew increasingly faint until their voices completely broke off. They simply didn’t have the face to continue.

Right at this moment, an exceptionally resonant voice echoed across the venue.

"Hua Wenqi, Four Qi Angel Lord, has broken through to Five Qi Angel Lord!"

This voice was like a massive fireball, burning through the dark, gloomy clouds. The Angels throughout the venue were instantly invigorated. Even the East Emperor and the West Empress couldn’t help but cast their gazes over, fixing them upon Hua Wenqi. The five Little Angels hovering above his head were exceptionally eye-catching at this moment.

"Breaking through from Four Qi to Five Qi is like crossing a natural chasm. Without great fortune, it’s near impossible to achieve!"

"It’s not just a simple matter of fortune! From One Qi to Four Qi can be reached by chance, but breaking into the Great Venerable Realm requires a heaven-defying opportunity!"

"Our Northern Heavenly State only sees an opportunity to break through to Great Venerate once every century."

"To think that Hua Wenqi gained such a serendipitous chance in just a short month!"

The entire sky boiled over in an uproar. Their faces were filled with shock, carrying a mixture of both envy and pride. When they looked at Yun Wanxiao, who was standing beside Hua Wenqi with his chest held high, their eyes were filled with even more awe and gratitude.

They marveled at the thought: Just how much fortune had Yun Wanxiao obtained in the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain to actually be able to help someone break through into the Great Venerable Realm? Many Angel Leaders who had previously tried and failed to become Yun Wanxiao’s disciples were consumed with regret. What they were grateful for was that, at a time when the Northern Heavenly State was being humiliated, Yun Wanxiao had firmly propped up their pride!

The East Emperor’s solemn expression finally blossomed into a smile. "Yun Wanxiao, well done."

Being praised by the East Emperor like this in front of the Angels from both realms, Yun Wanxiao felt immensely honored. Even when he had broken through to the Great Venerable Realm himself, it hadn’t been such a grand occasion.

The West Empress also slowly exhaled a heavy breath. Yun Wanxiao had indeed saved face for the Northern Heavenly State. Even the overly critical Yu Luo remained completely silent this time. Even in the Four Great Realms and the Divine Capital, the Great Venerable Realm was extremely difficult to breach. To successfully guide someone into becoming a Great Venerate expert in just a single month absolutely required an immense amount of effort.

Yun Wanxiao shot Yu Luo a provocative glance and said, "Who dares say our Northern Heavenly State lacks talent?" Immediately after, he looked triumphantly toward Jiang Fan. "Human Clan, you hogged the most promising Angel Leader of our Northern Heavenly State. After an entire month of your guidance, she hasn’t just stagnated in the same realm, has she?"

SWISH—

Countless gazes shot over. They already had huge grievances regarding Xia Chaoge’s choice to be instructed by Jiang Fan. If he couldn’t provide a satisfactory answer, they might just drown Jiang Fan in a sea of scorn!

The West Empress also looked over curiously, her gaze falling upon Xia Chaoge. Although she had seen Xia Chaoge in the secret chamber last time, she hadn’t probed her cultivation. Now, with a sweeping glance, her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly!

When the East Emperor and the other High Tier Great Angels looked over, they too collectively revealed expressions of absolute shock. Only the One-Winged Great Angels and the lower-ranking Angel Leaders were unable to see through Xia Chaoge’s cultivation, leaving them frowning in confusion.

Yun Wanxiao crossed his arms over his chest and sneered, "Go on, announce it.

"Let’s see what astonishing progress Chaoge has made under your wing!"
