Chapter 1855 30th on the Prodigy List
The news of this battle spread throughout the Flying Celestials. Not long after, the entire Grand Xia Empire and even the entire world knew of this news. Chu Yunfan killing Lin Dingtian with a single punch made him even more famous.
There weren't many fights between those on the prodigy list. Even if there were, they would usually stop after a brief taste. After all, being on the prodigy list already represented standing at the peak of the younger generation. In the future, these people might stand at the peak of the world.
How much hatred must there be to make these geniuses on the prodigy list so easily decide life and death? There was no need for that. Every prodigy on the prodigy list was not simple. If they did not have 100% confidence, the consequences would be unimaginable. They might even die. Just like Zi Buyu, even if Meng Tianren and the others fought for benefits, they did not really fight to the death.
In this atmosphere, Chu Yunfan's actions were too abrupt. However, this made many people truly realize the terrifying strength of this new prodigy. To beat another prodigy who was also on the prodigy list to death, what kind of terrifying strength was this?
Moreover, it was said that Chu Yunfan was not injured at all. This meant that his strength far exceeded his current ranking. He could at least be ranked in the middle, not at the bottom of the ranking.
This was the first time Chu Yunfan had become known to the world as a true expert. He was different from the talented new stars from before. After all, he could easily kill a peak Cosmic on the prodigy list. He was definitely an expert. At this rate, good fortunes were in sight. At that time, he would be an expert who could truly influence the Central Plains.
Soon, the Mysteries Pavilion updated the prodigy list again, and Chu Yunfan's ranking rose from the last place to the 30th place. When this ranking came out, it was absolutely shocking.
What was rocket speed? This was rocket speed!
Prior to this, although there were precedents of a large increase in rankings, those were basically people who had reached the age limit and were replaced. The people behind him were suddenly ranked up a lot. However, it was different now. Chu Yunfan had relied on his strength to rise up, which caused many people to be in an uproar.
Many people expressed their dissatisfaction. Although Chu Yunfan had the record of killing a prodigy like Lin Dingtian, he had suddenly risen to 30th place. One could imagine what kind of uproar it would cause.
The top 30 were basically the first group ranked at the top of the prodigy list. This move caused the dissatisfaction of many prodigies on the prodigy list. These people initially had no interest in Chu Yunfan's ranking on the prodigy list, because to them, it was just a fight between those at the bottom of the rankings. Now, Chu Yunfan had actually risen to 30th place, which meant that many people's rankings had been surpassed by him.
How could they accept the fact that a junior who was less than half their age and had shallow qualifications had climbed over their heads?
However, after complaining a few times, the prodigies fell silent. Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, news quickly spread. There was only one reason why these prodigies did not protest. That was that these prodigies had collectively entered seclusion.
Other than Chu Yunfan, who was a freak, the other people who could make it onto the prodigy list were basically masters at the peak of the Cosmos Stage. They were all above the boundary point of this level. Because of this, it was only a matter of time before they broke through to the Creation Stage. Therefore, they were not willing to waste their breath on this matter. Not to mention whether Chu Yunfan was easy to deal with, even if they delayed time and let others break through to the Creation Stage first, it would really be a burning fire.
Judging from the current situation of the prodigy list, the next step was to enter the Creation Stage collectively. It was obvious who was in the lead in this step. It was Li Qianyuan. No one wanted to fall behind others in this step.
As for Chu Yunfan?
According to another prodigy, "There's an insurmountable gap between the Cosmos Stage and the Creation Stage. Even if Chu Yunfan's combat strength is heaven-defying, it's impossible for him to cross this gap. When we break through, he'll just be a joke."
When this prodigy's words rang out, everyone immediately came to a realization. It was not that many prodigies were that magnanimous, but they understood that there was nothing more important than breaking through to the Creation Stage. Once they broke through to the Creation Stage, Chu Yunfan, who seemed to have soared to the top 30, would be just a joke.
The difference in combat strength between the Cosmos Stage and the Creation Stage was ten times or even dozens of times. If Chu Yunfan had been able to compete with them previously due to his various fortuitous encounters, then everything would return to square one after they entered the Creation Stage.
The divine dragon in the sky was still a divine dragon, and the ants on the ground were just ants. Even if they were to dominate for a moment, it would only be for a moment. The difference in the level of life was enough to flatten everything.
For a moment, a wave of people who looked down on Chu Yunfan started to stir up. Many people knew that the gap between the Cosmos Stage and the Creation Stage was like a chasm. It was like the difference between heaven and earth, and it was almost impossible to cross.
Although these prodigies were certain that they could break through to the Creation Stage, this stage was a chasm that 90% of the experts at the peak of the Cosmos Stage could not cross in their lifetime.
At this stage of cultivation, the difference in talent between each other was clear at a glance. Some geniuses could still soar all the way, while some people had already begun to slow down. It was as if they were shackled and could not take even half a step forward.
Therefore, there was a reason why everyone looked down on Chu Yunfan. If he wanted to match the Creation Stage in terms of combat strength, he would at least have to step into this cultivation level himself.
However, with Chu Yunfan's current level, it was unknown how long it would take for him to enter the Creation Stage. At that time, who knew how high the prodigies on the prodigy list would be?
A gap of one step was a gap of many steps. The disadvantage of age was undoubtedly reflected. It was precisely because Chu Yunfan was not old enough that he could not compete with those older prodigies for the fortuitous encounters that he should have. His path of growth was destined to be more bumpy than others.
This wave quickly swept into the Flying Celestials and immediately poured a bucket of cold water on the enthusiasm of the sect to flatter Chu Yunfan.
Everyone immediately calmed down. Especially those who weren't resolute, they decided to wait and see.
