One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

[Second place among the youth: Huang Ning, acting president of the Truth Seeking Association!]

Among the young people of his generation, no one could surpass him in his physical prowess. He had trained diligently at the Yanwu Hall for thirty-five years, resulting in a solid foundation and a robust physique.

Combat strength assessment index: 9,500!

"I've heard of Huang Ning from the Seeking Truth Society. He's not young anymore!"

After a moment's thought, Malone opened the comments section.

KunKun: Speechless! The guy below is confirmed!

Huang Ning is forty years old already. While it's not against the rules, it's still kind of disgusting.

'Dog head: To be honest, they are clearly from the older generation, yet they insist on coming down to compete with the younger generation. What's the point?'

With a cultivation level twenty years ahead of others, to end up only second place—how shameful!

'Lu Ci of the Lu Family: Is this just to highlight how strong Ma Long is?'

You really did it!

Wang Ai of the Wang Family, one of the Ten Elders: Huang Ning's ranking is too low, and his combat strength is clearly suppressed. Only 9,500? That's impossible!

'Outlaw Wang Wu, Number 361: Old Deng, I'm back again!'

Zhuge Qing, a follower of the Marquis of Wu: Speechless!

They're twenty years more skilled than us; who can withstand that?!

...}

"Haha, as expected, it has aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. What exactly does Huang Ning want to do by jumping out like this?"

Gao Yushan explained: "Brother Long, the company is making a big move and is going to muddy the waters!"

We're currently supporting many smaller factions, including the Wuhou Sect, the Truth-Seeking Society, and even our Salvation Palace—they're all on the support list.

"So that's how it is. Looks like I won't be able to relax for a while!"

Malone nodded and continued sliding down.

The third young talent: Zhuge Qing of the Wuhou School!

A descendant of Zhuge Liang, the Chancellor of the Han Dynasty, and the only person in the Zhuge family in decades to master all of the Wuhou Qimen Dunjia techniques.

Furthermore, he recently learned his strongest technique, greatly increasing his strength!

With his extraordinary skills and unparalleled abilities, Qimen Dunjia can be used to tell fortunes with ease, even while setting up a stall!

Exceptional intelligence, superb acting skills, and outstanding appearance!

Combat strength assessment index: 8,000!

"Oh, Zhuge Qing, it's time for the Wuhou faction to take their place."

"Junior Uncle, you defeated Zhuge Qing last time, and this time he has learned the family's strongest technique. You must be careful when facing him in the future!"

Seeing Ma Long's dismissive tone, Wang Ye immediately reminded him to be careful.

"understand!"

Ma Long impatiently agreed and opened the comments section.

"Zhuge Qing's number one fangirl: Lao Qing! Lao Qing! The best! The most handsome!"

'Ma Long's number one fangirl: Brother Long is clearly the best and most handsome, okay?!'

'Ma Long's second fangirl: Yes, third sister, why don't you come over too!'

Zhuge Gong, a follower of the Wuhou School: He's been underestimated!

The ultimate technique of my Wuhou School is extremely powerful.

Zhuge Meng from the Wuhou School: Yes!

Qing's strength is clearly being underestimated; his combat power shouldn't be only eight thousand!

...}

"There's nothing much to see anymore, and everyone's enthusiasm has waned quite a bit. Scroll down!"

Finding it uninteresting, Malone continued swiping the screen.

[The fourth young hero: Bao Chan, the young golden-bodied Arhat of Shaolin Temple!]

After sixteen years of rigorous training at Shaolin Temple, he mastered Shaolin skills to perfection.

They successively passed through the Shaolin Temple's Eighteen Arhats Formation and the Buddhist Golden Light Formation!

His physical skills are astonishing, and his power is profound!

Combat strength assessment index: 7800!

"Oh, Baochan?"

I didn't expect him to be so strong; his combat power is almost on par with Zhuge Qing's. I need to take a good look at him!

Malone immediately became interested. He had noticed this newly emerged little monk before, but today's ranking was still a refreshing surprise for him.

{'Kun Kun: A Shaolin Temple Golden Body Little Arhat?'}

I had heard of it, but I didn't expect it to be this strong!

'Dog head: Brother Kun, you don't know this!'

Master Baochan is very low-key and rarely leaves Mount Song, but his skills are still quite impressive.

Zhuge Qing of the Wuhou Sect: Your combat strength is ranked very high, Master Baochan. I must pay you a visit when I have time.

...}

"Junior Uncle, please read on!"

Wang Ye prompted Ma Long to swipe the screen to see the next person.

The fifth young hero: Zhang Lingyu from the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain!

The old Celestial Master's youngest disciple possesses extraordinary talent, having entered the Yin Five Thunder technique at a very young age and already mastered it.

Exceptional character and superb skills!

Combat strength assessment index: 7,500!

"Wow, you guys are really evenly matched in terms of fighting strength!"

Ma Long exclaimed upon seeing the score of 7,500.

"Young Master Long, just scroll down and don't bother reading the comments!"

Zhang Lingyu made the request, and seeing that no one else seemed interested, Ma Long nodded and did as he was told.

The Sixth Young Man: Xue Fan, the Grave-Wailing Ghost of Quanxing!

The banner of filial piety grieves even gods and ghosts; the mournful cries are chilling!

Their methods are insidious and their tactics are vicious!

Combat strength assessment index: 7200!

"Wow, the Quanxing sect is ranked so high?"

Ma Long was startled, not expecting that the Quanxing Sect had such a master.

Gao Yushan explained: "During the battle on the Xilin Gol Grassland when the Old Celestial Master went down the mountain, he killed many masters of the Quanxing Sect."

Otherwise, the Quanxing sect would have occupied at least 80% of the rankings. This Xue Fan didn't die; he was resurrected in another body.

"So that's what happened. I need to check the comments section!"

"Quanxing Paper Dolls: Brothers of Quanxing, assemble!"

Take over the comments section!

Quanxing Zhongqiang: Here I come! I give up!

They didn't even list my name! This Jianghu Inn is underestimating me. I took a slap from the Old Celestial Master, who else could do that?

'Zheng Mengping of Quanxing: Go to hell! You can brag about getting a bargain for the rest of your life!'

Quanxing Yuantao: Hmph! Xue Fan is already ranked high!

If the old master hadn't been so ruthless, causing the passing of several exceptionally talented young people, it would have been a different story.

How could it be your turn!

'Professional grave weeper: Yuan Tao, why do you talk so much, old man? You think you're the only one who knows about this?'

They were strong, so why are they all dead? Doesn't that prove they're inferior to me?

My survival speaks for itself!

Look, my combat power index is roughly equivalent to third place!

Zhuge Qing, from the Wuhou faction: No! Seriously, don't try to take advantage of me!

...}

"The Quanxing people are really lively!"

"Hmph! A bunch of troublemakers. Master went too easy on them last time!"

How many dishes? How much to drink?

"How dare they cause trouble on our Longhu Mountain!"

Zhang Lingyu snorted coldly, still harboring resentment over the Quanxing sect's rampage at the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Alright, alright, keep reading!"

Malone comforted him, and they continued sliding down.

The Seventh Young Hero: Jia Zhengliang of the World Alliance!

He can control twelve Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives simultaneously, possessing extremely high talent for manipulating objects.

Taking the path of a sword immortal is considered to be taking a different route.

If we can break through the current situation, we will surely achieve great things.

Combat strength assessment index: 6800!

"Jia Zhengliang, indeed!"

Ma Long agreed with the comments, saying he felt the same way when he played against Jia Zhengliang.

This guy still has a long way to go.

Jia Zhengliang clearly hadn't fully developed the use of the twelve Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives; he merely used them in simple combinations.

The only sword formation, Poison Dragon Drill, is nothing more than a simple stacking; he really should study military strategy and formations.

The path of a sword immortal is not easy!
