Chapter 237 - Why Are You Still C-rank?
After signing the autographs, Chu Feng, Li Peng, and Li Ya finally squeezed out of the crowd.
He was almost squashed into a meat pie.
Under the circumstances, Chu Feng clearly could not continue strolling around.
He could only follow Li Peng's lead.
He first went to the headquarters of the Human Wartime Alliance to meet the current higher-ups of the human race.
Because of Hua Xia's special status, the headquarters of the Human Wartime Alliance was set up in the center of Hua Xia Martial Arts University.
It wasn't far.
However, the journey was still extremely "difficult".
When they heard the news, all the students who came from all directions wanted to admire the legendary Chu Feng.
But as the number of people increased, someone with sharp eyes suddenly exclaimed.
"Everyone, look! This legendary figure's spiritual power level… Why is it still C-rank?!"
Just as he finished speaking, the originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone could not help but look at Chu Feng.
No one was supposed to notice this.
Everyone subconsciously thought that after such a long time, it was inevitable for a peerless monster like Chu Feng to increase his level. It was just a matter of how much he increased.
But there would never be a situation where he would be stuck in the same place!
However, as more and more people sensed Chu Feng's spiritual energy aura, someone couldn't help but speak.
"It's really C-rank?!"
"How is that possible! When I was still a reserve martial artist, he was already a C-rank. Now that I'm already a C-rank, why is he still…"
"Look at the Golden Ranking Lists! Chu Feng has already fallen to the 19th… This should be because his previous results were too extraordinary. Otherwise, he should have fallen long ago…"
No one would doubt the authority of the Golden Ranking Lists.
The moment a martial artist returned to Earth, the Golden Ranking Lists would automatically update the data of martial artists and re-rank them.
Unless the martial artist refused to be on the rankings.
But no one would do that.
Because rejecting the rankings meant rejecting the incomparably precious ranking reward!
The impact on cultivation was too great!
No one would bear to!
Therefore, everyone knew what this ranking meant.
Chu Feng was really only a C-rank martial artist!
After such a long time, there was actually no improvement at all!
The crowd fell silent.
Someone still felt that it was impossible and could not help but say.
"For the geniuses in the first tier, the weakest is an A-rank martial artist. With Chu Feng's talent, how can he only be a C-rank? Could it be that he hid his strength and deliberately made us unable to see through him?"
The words had just left his mouth.
Someone retorted.
"Then are you questioning the Golden Ranking Lists? Or are you saying that it's because he refused to be on the rankings himself? Unless he's stupid!"
The speaker was speechless.
After that, the chatter grew louder.
Someone even shouted.
"Senior Chu Feng, are you really still a C-rank martial artist?"
Everyone looked at Chu Feng.
They wanted to see if that legendary genius had really lost his sharpness.
Even Li Peng and Li Ya could not help but look at Chu Feng.
The two of them were too excited just now and did not notice this problem.
Chu Feng only smiled faintly and nodded lightly.
"My spiritual power level is indeed still C-rank."
Chu Feng spoke the truth.
However, it was like a heavy bomb that directly exploded the crowd.
The discussion was boiling.
"It's really Grade C?!"
"He admitted it himself!"
"Sigh… He was a legend back then. Why is he now… What a pity!"
Some people looked at Chu Feng differently.
Chu Feng remained calm.
Although his spiritual power level had not changed, it did not mean that his strength had not changed.
However, Chu Feng could not say these words.
Could he tell everyone that although he was only a C-rank now, he could instantly kill a Grade A+?
Who would believe that!
He would be lucky if they did not scold him for spouting nonsense.
They might even say that he was stupid.
Thus, Chu Feng could not be bothered to explain.
He was never one to go around showing off.
He would let the truth speak for itself in the future.
"Excuse me, please. We still have to go to Alliance headquarters."
Chu Feng said politely.
Now the frenzied crowd cooled.
They silently made way for Chu Feng and the others.
They silently watched Chu Feng leave.
The legend in their hearts collapsed, and some people could not help but sob softly.
Unacceptable.
It was just like how some parents could accept a poor student regressing again and again, but they could not accept that their brilliant child was improving slowly, let alone staying at the same spot!
Some rumors also slowly grew in the crowd.
It was nothing more than Chu Feng being crippled. His era had passed, and he could not be counted on anymore.
Someone could not stand it anymore and cursed loudly.
"So what if he's a C-rank martial artist?! So what if Senior Chu Feng's strength hasn't improved?! He was already able to fight a Spirit Transformation expert with a C-rank body! Can you do that? He's still in the top twenty of the Golden Ranking List. Where are you?!"
No one answered.
He was right about that.
No matter how stuck Chu Feng was, his strength was still something that countless people could only dream of.
But whether it was the opponents or supporters, everyone could not hide their disappointment.
After all, in their opinion, the once peerless monster had disappeared for so long and was actually still a C-rank martial artist. It would be a lie to say that they were not disappointed.
But there was no other way.
After walking out of the crowd, Chu Feng and the other two could still hear the voices behind them.
Chu Feng only smiled calmly.
Li Peng's expression was ugly as he said in a low voice.
"Boss, just you wait. I'll go back and teach those bastards a lesson. Boss, you've contributed so much to humanity, but now they actually…"
Chu Feng waved his hand indifferently, the smile on his face not fading.
"I won't lose anything even if they talk about me."
"Why don't you tell me about the human situation first?"
"Also, I didn't have time to ask just now. How is Xian'er?"
At the mention of Liu Xian'er, a hint of doting flashed across Chu Feng's eyes as he muttered.
"This little girl is now ranked first on the Golden Ranking List…"
One of the reasons why Chu Feng was unwilling to be on the rankings back then was because the first place was Liu Xian'er.
If he was on the list, he would definitely be first.
In that case, Liu Xian'er would not be able to obtain the ranking reward for first place.
As for Chu Feng himself, he did not care about that reward at all.
Now, only the only divine-grade reward on each Golden Ranking List could attract him.

Hearing Chu Feng mention Liu Xian'er, before Li Peng could speak, Li Ya said excitedly.
She looked like a fan girl.
She clearly admired Liu Xian'er very much.
"Boss, you have no idea how strong Sister Xian'er is now! I'm so impressed!
"On the Prodigy Battlefield, in the Dejected Valley, during the battle of the Hundred Kings!
"Sister Xian'er single-handedly killed nine demon king-level geniuses!
"Those King-level geniuses were super geniuses who had a chance of breaking through to the A-rank! Under Sister Xian'er's sword, they could not even escape!
"And she was fighting above her level!
"Not only that, but Sister Xian'er also escaped from a super A-rank demon king!
"It shocked the entire battlefield!
"Countless demon geniuses were terrified!
"She's known as the Spiritual Sword Angel!
"She's the unquestionable number one genius of the entire human race!"
Li Ya's face was flushed with excitement, but she suddenly realized that her words would hurt Chu Feng's pride.
After all, the previous number one genius was this man in front of him…
She glanced at Chu Feng carefully.
However, she realized that Chu Feng's smile was extremely bright.
His eyes were filled with relief.
He did not look inferior at all.
He muttered to himself.
"Little girl, you've grown up. Wait for me for a while more. I'll be able to go to the battlefield to find you soon…"
