Chapter 13724 Star Ranking No. 6
Under the shocked gaze of the woman, Ling Xiao landed a few steps away steadily. His tone was calm but revealed his unquestionable confidence. He said: "You don't have to waste your energy. In my opinion, you must have been seriously injured. In your current state, you can't be my opponent at all!"
His voice echoed in the room, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the woman's heart.
The woman missed her attack and stood there in a daze, a look of disbelief on her face.
She was secretly shocked. Although she was seriously injured, she was still a veteran in the battlefield. Even if her strength was greatly reduced, it was difficult for ordinary people to easily dodge her full-strength attack. However, the man in front of her avoided it so easily. This was beyond her understanding.
For a moment, she was full of entanglement and hesitation, not knowing whether she should make another move. The other party seemed to know her situation very well, and every move seemed to be seen through. This feeling made her feel uncomfortable, as if she was standing naked in front of the other party, with no privacy at all.
"Tsk tsk, Brother Ling, you are amazing. You are so lucky in love that you even took advantage of Fairy Ni who is ranked sixth on the Star Ranking!"
At this stalemate, Qin Xianglan's teasing voice, like a ghost, rang out from the magic needle space and went straight into Ling Xiao's ears. This sudden voice startled Ling Xiao slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
"Star Ranking?" Ling Xiao frowned subconsciously and muttered to himself.
He had been in the martial arts world for a long time and thought he had some understanding of various forces and lists, but he had never heard of the "Star List". This made him very curious, and at the same time, he had more doubts about the woman in front of him, who was called "Fairy Ni".
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it! The Star Ranking is a very special and authoritative list in the Dazhen Dynasty! This list does not include those terrifying monsters in the Demon Sea, nor does it involve people from the Holy Hall.
There are a total of twelve masters listed on the list, without exception, all of them are top masters of the Star Realm! Moreover, this list is extremely strict and is updated every year, just to select the most outstanding young masters of the moment. "
Qin Xianglan's clear and somewhat mysterious voice continuously came out from the magic needle space and lingered in Ling Xiao's ears.
"The list has a clear age limit, and the age of the people on the list must not be over 30 years old. Take Fairy Ni in front of us, for example. She is only 22 years old this year, but she is already famous on the Star List, ranking sixth.
What's even more amazing is that she has been on the list for three consecutive years. This means that as early as three years ago, when she was only 19 years old, she had already successfully made it onto this list of masters with her own strength. And the most outrageous thing is that she is currently just a low-level warrior in the Star Realm! "
Qin Xianglan smacked her lips as she spoke, her words full of admiration for Ni Shuanghan.
"Can you understand? This is simply a super genius that is one in a million! She is the kind of peerless prodigy who can definitely challenge opponents of higher levels in battle! In the same realm, almost no one can match her. Even when facing a high-level strongman in the Star Realm, she has the strength to fight and may even win!"
Qin Xianglan's voice became increasingly high-pitched, as if she was describing a mythical existence to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly as he listened to Qin Xianglan's story, with a hint of surprise on his face. During his time in Bai Ze Continent, he had seen many gifted geniuses, but every time he heard about a new genius, he was still shocked.
These geniuses were more dazzling than the other, and their strength and talent were astonishing. Of course, deep down in Ling Xiao's heart, he still had his own pride.
He was only at the peak of Tongtian Realm, but he was able to fight with low-level warriors in Xingchen Realm. Although it was difficult to win in the end, this kind of record, placed in the entire Bai Ze Continent, was a shocking and heaven-defying act.
"Don't want to fight anymore? Then sit down and talk!" Ling Xiao calmed down his inner surprise, his expression returned to his usual calmness, and he spoke in a leisurely tone. At this moment, the tense atmosphere in the room seemed to ease a little with his words.
Ni Shuanghan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the emotions surging in her heart. Her eyes, which were originally filled with crazy killing intent, gradually calmed down at this moment, but still showed a hint of unwillingness.
She looked at Ling Xiao and knew clearly in her heart that she was now seriously injured and her strength was greatly reduced. She was no match for Ling Xiao at all. If she acted rashly, she would only be asking for trouble.
After thinking for a moment, she slowly sat down, leaning forward slightly, her hands unconsciously clenched together, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
"Again, why are you in my room?" Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Ni Shuanghan with a sharp gaze, and asked coldly. Although his voice was calm, it seemed to carry an invisible pressure that made Ni Shuanghan feel a little breathless.
Ni Shuanghan met Ling Xiao's gaze without flinching. She bit her lip, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and said, "I agreed to help the Holy Hall. In exchange, they arranged for me to live here. I thought this room was uninhabited, so..."
At this point, her voice paused slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. After all, taking a bath in someone else's room was indeed a bit wrong.
"So that's how it is. The Holy Hall knew that I had not checked out, and they deliberately arranged for you to stay here, but they didn't tell you that I had carefully arranged a teleportation formation here. It's obvious that they deliberately put you, the fairy, in such an embarrassing situation. So it seems that the person you should hate the most in your heart is probably not me, but the scheming Holy Hall."
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, with a hint of mockery in his expression, and looked at Ni Shuanghan calmly, speaking slowly. His voice was low and clear, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ni Shuanghan's heart.
"I've been playing tricks on you like a complete fool. You're the sixth-ranked genius on the Star Ranking, and yet you've been tricked like this."
Ling Xiao added, his tone more teasing. He crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, as if he felt sorry for Ni Shuanghan, and seemed to be lamenting the wickedness of people in this world.
When Ni Shuanghan heard Ling Xiao's words, his face instantly turned as dark as ink, and his cheeks, which were already slightly pale due to the injury, now looked even more bloodless.
She bit her lower lip so hard that her teeth almost sank into her delicate skin. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists and her body trembled slightly. She was obviously angered by Ling Xiao's words and was extremely angry about what the Holy Hall had done. (End of this chapter)
