Unfettered Retribution: Slaughtering My Way through the World Chapter 125 - 108: Ascending the Human List! True Qi Breakth

"I did it!"

Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed as he stared at his own palm.

True Qi First Layer!

BOOM!

The mont he circulated his True Qi, a scorching, golden energy instantly filled his palm. It blazed like a sheet of golden fla, suffused with an unimaginably destructive aura.

Even the temperature of the entire room began to rise rapidly.

The golden fla in his palm seed to possess the power to incinerate anything.

To test the power of this True Qi, Chen Xuan made a grasping motion. The energy surged from his body and pulled a sword from the wall into his hand. He channeled the golden fla, and the sword, forged from fine refined steel, imdiately began to glow red hot. It lted into chunks of molten iron, dripping to the floor with a SIZZLE and a CLANG...

"Incredible!"

Chen Xuan was secretly amazed.

’Molten Fire Forging Gold! It really lives up to its na!’

In just a few monts, the entire sword had completely vanished.

He smiled and looked at his status panel again.

...

’True Qi is condensed from Gang Energy, and Gang Energy depends on the physical body,’ Chen Xuan thought. ’My body and Gang Energy were already powerful, so my True Qi is probably far stronger than that of my peers. At the very least, killing an ordinary martial artist at the Second Layer of True Qi should be no trouble at all.’

’Good! I’ll go to Iron Stone Castle and kill Situ Zhenyue soon. That will finally put my mind at ease.’

"Hm? Who’s there?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan looked up, his senses alerted. He shot out of the window with incredible speed and, without hesitation, threw a powerful palm strike. A golden fla erupted, smashing violently toward a figure in the courtyard.

The figure’s eyes sharpened. Seeing Chen Xuan’s sudden attack, they showed no intention of dodging. With a flick of a slender hand, their own True Qi swept forward.

Chen Xuan’s expression changed in alarm.

’Wang Qinglian!’

"Fuck!"

BANG!

With a dull thud, Chen Xuan was sent flying backward right on the spot. He crashed back into his room, landing in a dusty, disheveled heap, his face a mask of shock.

’Damn it! Lady, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? And another thing! She’s terrifyingly strong!’

In the courtyard, Wang Qinglian’s gaze was cold as she scanned the room, but inwardly, her mind was reeling with shock.

’What did I just see? Chen Xuan... has True Qi? Is this kid a monster? How long has it been since he reached the Gang Energy realm? And he’s already broken through to True Qi? A True Qi expert in his early twenties... Faster than she was...’

Yes, Wang Qinglian had to admit that for the first ti, she felt a strong sense of crisis, a feeling of being outshone...

"Elder Wang, you’re here..."

Chen Xuan got up again, walked out of the room, and spoke with a complicated expression.

"Don’t call Elder. I’m not that much older than you."

Wang Qinglian said haughtily, turning slightly to the side.

Right, only sixteen years or so.

For martial artists, what did that even count for?

"Elder Wang, is sothing wrong?"

Chen Xuan asked again.

"Can’t I co see you even if there’s nothing wrong?"

Wang Qinglian said coldly.

"You can, but I don’t believe you’re here for no reason."

Chen Xuan said.

’After all, that’s completely out of character for Wang Qinglian. This woman is incredibly proud. Why would she co to see for no reason? What a joke!’

Wang Qinglian’s cold, phoenix-like eyes locked onto Chen Xuan’s face. Her dark pupils were unspeakably deep, as if they held starlight within them. After a mont, she let out a cold snort and, with a flick of her hand, sent a scroll of paper flying toward Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan looked suspicious but caught the scroll and unrolled it imdiately.

His expression quickly turned to one of astonishnt.

"The Human List?"

"That’s right. You’ve made it onto the Human List."

Wang Qinglian stated haughtily.

Chen Xuan frowned and examined it closely.

It only contained his personal information, not the rest of the list.

It was obvious that Wang Qinglian had just copied it down for him.

What surprised him was...

He was actually ranked ninetieth on the Human List!

That was a full seven spots higher than Su Wanqing’s previous ranking!

As for his title...

"Iron-faced Yama?"

Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed. "Who ca up with this title? It’s ridiculous!"

’When did I beco the Iron-faced Yama? This is total bullshit, isn’t it?’

"The Human List is published by the Celestial Secret Pavilion. The Celestial Secret Pavilion is the most mysterious organization in the world. It has existed since ancient tis, and no one knows how many years it’s been around... Even thousand-year-old great Martial Dao sects don’t know its secrets."

Wang Qinglian explained.

"Don’t tell there’s an Earth List and a Heaven List above the Human List?"

Chen Xuan looked at Wang Qinglian.

"Correct!"

Wang Qinglian said haughtily.

"Then what about you? Are you on the Earth List?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"No. The Earth List is for the truly great masters. I’m still a ways off."

Wang Qinglian replied coolly, "I was removed from the Human List just a year ago."

"Removed a year ago?"

It dawned on Chen Xuan.

’Right. Wang Qinglian is 36 now... The Human List ranks those who are 35 and under.’

"Then what was your rank on the Human List back in the day?"

Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"Seventh!"

Wang Qinglian said nonchalantly.

"Impressive!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

’As expected of that female maniac!’

But then he had a realization. If a female maniac as powerful as her was only ranked Seventh, didn’t that an the people ranked above her were even more heaven-defyingly talented?

’Just as I thought! The world is teeming with heroes, as nurous as a swarm of locusts... There’s no telling how many there are.’

"So you ca all this way just to show this?"

Chen Xuan felt quite grateful nonetheless.

"No, I ca to warn you to be careful."

Wang Qinglian said coolly, "I was originally planning to give you a Heart thod while I was here, but it seems you don’t need one anymore."
