As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. Those who made it into the top hundred of the initial rankings were basically Celestial Pride List members who had opened at least eleven heart and spirit locks.
And those who were just mentioned by Zhao Budian, although all ranked below fifty, were only there because their martial bones hadn't been opened yet and they were still trying to break through to a higher number of heart and spirit locks.
Although they were in the First Realm, it was undeniable that these people were already the elites of the younger generation of the Human Race. If they attacked together, even a Falling Leaf Martial Artist might be instantly killed.
But now, according to Zhao Budian, even if all of them teamed up, they would be killed by Su Tu seven times in three minutes.
How could they be satisfied with this?
But before they could say anything.
"The words are crude but the logic is not—Su Tu indeed has this strength."
Mu Wuyang's voice came from not far away. He stood amongst a small cluster of martial artists, nodding in agreement.
"Oh!! Mu Shen is here too!"
Zhao Budian cupped his hands and addressed Mu Wuyang, who responded with a courteous smile.
Yet, it was just this lightly spoken sentence by Mu Wuyang that rendered those initially indignant martial artists speechless.
They had arrived late and didn't know how highly Mu Wuyang regarded Su Tu.
But they were well aware of Mu Wuyang's prowess.
Even he held Su Tu in such high regard, which meant... Zhao Budian's words weren't baseless!
Truth be told, most of these people had been instantly defeated by Su Tu. They knew in their hearts how strong Su Tu was.
They just hadn't expected that even with all of them combined, Mu Wuyang would still consider them inferior to Su Tu alone.
So, just how strong was Su Tu??
"Big Sun, what do you think, is my brother strong or not??" Feng spoke with nonchalance, looking at Mu Wuyang.
Mu Wuyang merely smiled slightly: "Anyway, stronger than you; not yet twenty and already a Grandmaster, in terms of technique, I am not his equal."
"Tch, I only lost to him in the First Realm. Now that my martial bone has opened, in Second Realm combat, I might not lose."
Feng pouted as he spoke, but then glanced at Su Tu on the platform, recalling how he had been completely overpowered.
Damn, how does it seem that in just a few days, this guy's techniques have become even more terrifying!
Just as Feng was pondering this.
He heard Mu Wuyang's voice in his ear: "Are you still on Ancestor Star?"
"Yes, my teacher said since I'm already here, I might as well stay for another month, participate in the martial examinations, and perhaps explore the Douluo Palace ruins. Why, are you coming to join the fun too?"
Feng responded with heart and spirit.
"Kong Jinyin is heading to Ancestor Star!!"
"He will arrive soon!"
Mu Wuyang didn't answer Feng's question but instead said in a slightly heavier tone.
Immediately, Feng's expression changed: "What? You want to go to Ancestor Star to kill him? No way, if you kill him, his father will go crazy!"
"I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. It's high time he paid for his actions!"
"Has your master approved??"
"It has nothing to do with my master. Anyway, I'll be heading to Ancestor Star in a few days."
After Mu Wuyang finished saying this, he quickly withdrew his heart and spirit, impassively focusing once again on Su Tu, who was preparing to continue his challenges.
"There are no more battles today."
A cool-toned girl addressed as Egg spoke up: "Zhao Shuang, ranked fifty-seven, is currently undergoing realm-breaking, preparing to open his bones. Today he is unable to continue the challenges."
Sure enough, Su Tu, who was about to continue challenging, received feedback from the Celestial Pride List, informing him that this opponent was currently unavailable for combat.
If two days later the opponent was still unable to fight, Su Tu could directly challenge the fifty-sixth rank.
Since making the list to the now fifty-eighth position, Su Tu had taken less than an hour. Excluding the twenty minutes spent honing techniques, Su Tu had used just forty minutes to become one of the elite few on today's Celestial Pride List.
And judging by Su Tu's momentum and the evaluations from Feng and Mu Wuyang, if not for opponents being unavailable for battle today, Su Tu might directly break into the top fifty.
No!! Not just the top fifty; he might go even higher, potentially the top thirty or even the top twenty.
As for the top ten... no one dared to think about that yet.
The top ten of the initial rankings had an unspeakable depth; it was said that any one of them alone could crush all the other martial artists.
In conclusion, from today onwards, the name Su Tu would spread throughout the Star River, and the world would come to know that yet another prodigious youth had emerged within the Federation.
As Su Tu concluded his challenges.
All the spectators could only exit together.
At this moment, Su Tu felt an intangible force continually amplifying upon him.
As his consciousness returned to his body.
He felt the heat from within his martial bone, with ancient and mysterious patterns continuously surging across it.
His blood was burning, his True Qi was roaring, and even the immortal power within the Five Mansions was howling at this moment.
Crack!!
Crunch crunch crunch!!!
A teeth-clenching grinding sound erupted from Su Tu's body—it was the sound of the martial bone undergoing transformation.
On the fourth day of Su Tu's venture into Mingtiao, his martial bone transformed for the third time....
Feeling the changes in his martial bone, Su Tu perceived his mastery over the Emperor Bone growing stronger. He could now distinctly sense the ancient patterns on the Emperor Bone.
The third Golden Dragon slowly swirled in the void, embodying a sense of 'might,' beneath the emperor, all beings bowed; before Su Tu, any weaker entities would suppress their own Qi.
