"Age: 21, Cultivation: Supreme Realm First Layer, Combat Power: 89 Stars—qualified."
89 Stars?
It was actually 89 Stars?
And this was achieved with just Supreme Realm First Layer cultivation?
Didn’t that mean this person’s combat prowess far surpassed even Gu Xian'er and the others?
Things just got interesting!
This was truly getting exciting!
Could this mean the rankings of the top five on the Human Ranking were about to be overturned?
"My heavens, 80 Stars was already an unreachable dream, yet this person’s combat power reached 89 Stars—just one step away from 90!"
"Terrifying, each one more monstrous than the last!"
"Who is he? Is he Li Qiye, ranked fifth on the Human Ranking?"
"Exactly, he’s Li Qiye. I just heard people discussing it."
"A prodigy, another peerless prodigy—one absolutely no less formidable than Chen Yunxuan."
"I’m really curious, just what kind of person could have nurtured a monster like Li Qiye."
"Surely, Li Qiye’s background must be extraordinary."
"No, Li Qiye’s origins are actually very simple—even shockingly so."
"Oh? You know his background?"
"Indeed. Li Qiye is a descendant of Li Jingyun, the founder of the Benevolent Hall."
"Benevolent Hall? Why haven’t I heard of it?"
"Because it’s not a major power. Its strongest members barely reach the Supreme Realm. Most importantly, Li Jingyun died many years ago—Li Qiye essentially has no backing."
"What? Someone with no background… could he really have cultivated alone to reach such heights?"
"Hard to say."
As the crowd buzzed with discussion, Li Qiye glanced at the test monument’s results and nodded in satisfaction.
Achieving such strength was something he had never dared imagine before.
Yet, Li Qiye’s calm demeanor left many puzzled. Was this guy emotionless?
Why was there not a flicker of feeling in his eyes?
"Master?"
When Li Qiye spotted Chen Chang'an in the distance, his impassive gaze finally stirred—with excitement.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Li Qiye walked over and knelt before Chen Chang'an.
"Disciple Li Qiye, paying respects to Master!"
Disciple? Li Qiye? Paying respects to Master?
Holy—
You’ve got to be kidding!
Li Qiye is actually his disciple?
This world has gone mad!
Now, three of the top five on the Human Ranking are connected to Chen Chang'an?
Is he single-handedly raising the most monstrous talents in the entire Profound Realm?
"To think Li Qiye is Chen Chang'an’s disciple?"
"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. Rankings three to five are all closely tied to him."
"At least Chen Yunxuan and Ye Zhiqiu aren’t connected to him… right?"
"Don’t speak too soon. Ye Zhiqiu is uncertain, but don’t forget—Chen Yunxuan shares his surname."
Same surname?
Damn, you’re right.
Chen Yunxuan and Chen Chang'an—could they be related?
No way…
Please tell me it’s not true.
This is terrifying.
Does that mean all top five on the Human Ranking are linked to Chen Chang'an?
Just who is Chen Chang'an?
"Good. Your progress is swift."
"Have you entered the state of Emotionless Severance?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Yes, Master. I’ve reached the final stage. Soon, I’ll enter the phase of Emotional Return."
Chen Chang'an nodded approvingly. Li Qiye’s advancement had exceeded his expectations.
To transition from Emotionless Severance to Emotional Return so quickly—his comprehension was truly frightening.
His worldly training must have yielded great gains.
Though his emotions and mental state were affected by the Emotionless Severance, he had controlled it well.
This had been Chen Chang'an’s greatest concern, but Li Qiye’s temperament proved far more mature and steady than anticipated.
"Excellent."
To Li Qiye, Chen Chang'an’s approval was the highest reward.
His relentless cultivation wasn’t just to fulfill his ancestor Li Jingyun’s dying wish or to avenge him.
It was also to earn Chen Chang'an’s recognition—and to catch up to his footsteps.
"Rise. Let me introduce you."
"This is Gu Xian'er, third on the Human Ranking—my maidservant."
"This is Gu Fengyao, fourth on the Human Ranking… consider her my fiancée."
Huh?
"Consider her my fiancée"?
What kind of phrasing is that?
Gu Fengyao shot Chen Chang'an an unhappy look. Was being his fiancée some kind of disgrace?
Truthfully, Chen Chang'an held no special affection for her. He still couldn’t fathom why his master had arranged this.
If not for Mu Yunyao’s insistence, he likely would have refused back then.
"So these two are also connected to Master."
"Then should I address her as…"
"No need. Address each other freely—you’re peers."
"If titles must change, it can wait for the future," Chen Chang'an said lightly.
"As you command, Master."
Chen Chang'an swept his gaze over the crowd and smiled.
"By now, you’ve all heard—Li Qiye is my disciple, Chen Chang'an’s."
"When he ventures out in the future, I hope you’ll show him some courtesy."
The crowd could only offer awkward smiles.
Courtesy? A figure like Li Qiye needed their courtesy?
In less than a century, these prodigies would ascend to the Emperor Realm, becoming supreme overlords.
By then, it’d be them showing courtesy to the rest!
But of course, no one dared say that aloud. They could only nod with forced smiles.
"Most have arrived."
"Those two rascals are here too."
"Though…"
Chen Chang'an sensed the auras of Chen Yunxuan and Ye Zhiqiu approaching at full speed.
Yet, after scanning for a long while, he detected no trace of Wu Mingdao.
As the sixth-ranked on the Human Ranking, why wouldn’t he participate in the Earth Ranking competition?
Had he given up?
Chen Chang'an couldn’t understand it, but everyone chose their own path. He wouldn’t interfere.
Still, his remark—"those two rascals"—made many hearts skip a beat.
Which two?
Surely not the ones they were thinking of?
Damn, if true, Chen Chang'an was defying the heavens!
"They’re here!"
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one."

"It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain?

Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
