I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1301: The People of Genius

Astonishing!

The two subordinates gaped in utter disbelief, and even Yuwen Qianyue's gaze carried a flicker of surprise!

Who could have imagined that An Shixuan, a skilled cultivator, would suffer broken limbs at someone's hands? This haughty young master from a powerful clan had been thoroughly defeated?

The event was utterly unforeseen.

Even more bizarre, a fierce figure like An Shixuan had lost to a fresh recruit. It was downright inconceivable.

When did the outer sect gain such a powerful newcomer?

Yuwen Qianyue's slender brows knit together as doubt filled her, prompting her to inquire once more.

"Describe everything that happened."

The two subordinates remained stunned, hanging on every word with faces full of amazement.

"To the Esteemed One!"

"From what numerous disciples have shared, a mortal-star cultivator has lately settled into the Luoxia Celestial Manor. An Shixuan desired that immortal dwelling and aimed to claim it. Following their argument, a fight broke out. An Shixuan's limbs were shattered by him, and he's now back at his place, badly wounded!"

A mortal-star cultivator?

With that kind of origin, and as a recent arrival, he managed to defeat An Shixuan?

What incredible aptitude and battle strength—a truly exceptional prodigy!

Upon hearing the account, a keen spark lit up in Yuwen Qianyue's lovely eyes.

The other pair, though, stared in shock, particularly at the mention of "Luoxia Celestial Manor." A doubt arose in their minds, leading them to ask cautiously,

"Might it be..."

"What's the name of that mortal-star cultivator...?"

The disciple who bowed replied at once, his voice echoing across the vast hall!

"Per the records, his name is Yi Feng!"

The moment those words landed, the two already had their eyes bulging, faces blending joy and astonishment, their thrilled feelings plain to see!

"Yi Feng?!"

"It's him, just as we thought!"

Catching their astonished and thrilled utterances along with their animated looks, Yuwen Qianyue experienced a deep jolt too, her face shifting to mild unease.

She'd underestimated him...

Though she couldn't be fully faulted for it, she had dismissed that mortal-star cultivator Yi Feng far too readily.

This was a superior talent well beyond An Shixuan. Due to a brief bias, she'd almost missed securing him, a lapse she'd lament in hindsight.

Recalling how the pair had urged her repeatedly, only for her to stand firm, Yuwen Qianyue grew more uneasy, the embarrassment mounting.

After a short pause, she pressed the question once more.

"Is the one who hurt An Shixuan really the mortal-star cultivator Yi Feng?"

The messenger saluted with joined hands, his voice steady.

"To the Esteemed One, yes, it's Yi Feng. This is completely accurate and has circulated across the immortal manors already."

With repeated verification and no mistakes at all.

Yi Feng proved to be a remarkable genius talent!

The two who heard it felt justified deep down. Solely due to deference for Yuwen Qianyue's position and poise, they held back their joy and stayed silent.

Now, Yuwen Qianyue harbored no more questions and gave a soft nod in reply.

"This Esteemed One understands this situation now."

"Fights between disciples often result in wounds. No cause for excessive worry. Drop this issue here."

Her composed statement actually bestowed a huge boon on Yi Feng. By favoring him and quelling the affair, Yuwen Qianyue implicitly endorsed his genius standing, while also owning her error in judgment.

Utterances from key figures usually hold layers of intent, beyond the reach of average folks.

The two standing by attentively, however, weren't common people. They grasped the subtext instantly and bowed promptly, hearts swelling with pride for Yi Feng and quiet glee at enlisting such a talent to the island.

"The Esteemed One is wise!"

The messenger too retreated prudently, avoiding any further speech without leave.

With everyone else gone.

Looking at the pair, who waited deferentially with faces hinting at unspoken thoughts, Yuwen Qianyue saw it all clearly and spoke offhandedly.

"No need to elaborate."

"Given Yi Feng's impressive ability, this Esteemed One won't let it go to waste. He'll earn a place on the Heavenly Ranking. May this mortal-star cultivator grasp our sincere support and accomplish great things ahead."

At those words, the two saluted with delight, eyes brimming with feeling.

"Gratitude, Esteemed One!"

"We'll make sure to tell Yi Feng and ensure he cherishes this elevation and kindness!"

How valuable was a Heavenly Ranking slot? Even amid this island's swarm of talents, it was a dream few chased, much less for a mortal-star cultivator to join their ranks. Once inscribed on the Heavenly Ranking, one gained targeted nurturing, vast resources, and elite privileges.

This groundbreaking occurrence would stun endless disciples.

Such generous advancement and grace filled even them with profound honor and intense joy for Yi Feng.

In under half a day.

Before the massive statue ringed by immortal isles, a hundred-zhang golden list took shape. Top talents' names emerged sequentially, drawing bursts of awe and praise.

Though most had guessed the lineup and the outcomes held few shocks, beholding this splendor still filled all cultivators with wonder and respect.

Right then, they weren't just seeing rising stars claim glory; they might be viewing the ascent of tomorrow's supreme expert!

Through the ages, countless legendary powers launched their legendary paths across time by starting with a Heavenly Ranking entry!

As the bulk of renowned talents appeared, the crowd's buzz and passion eased, replaced by a profound jealousy as they stood still, eyes fixed on the sky's Heavenly Ranking.

All at once, the calmed area fell even more silent.

Upon the radiant golden list, an utterly unknown name surfaced—Yi Feng!

In a flash, thousands of nearby cultivators showed stunned faces, while just a handful from the outer sect bulged their eyes in disbelief!

After a momentary hush, cries of amazement and skepticism burst forth before the Heavenly Ranking!

"Yi Feng?!"

"Who's that? This young master knows nothing about him!"

"Fellow Daoist, perhaps you're unaware. He's a fresh outer sect member. Rumor has it he's from a mortal star, so few recognize him yet."

"A mortal-star cultivator has actually entered the Heavenly Ranking?!"

The surprised outbursts lasted mere moments before rumors and fervent chatter unleashed a surge of wonder!

"Hah, why couldn't a mortal-star cultivator claim a Heavenly Ranking spot? Fellow Daoist Yi earlier crushed An Shixuan completely, even snapping his limbs! With that kind of skill, doesn't he deserve a place on the Heavenly Ranking?!"

"Really?"

"Plenty in the outer sect saw it happen. It's all over the place today—how could it be fake! An Shixuan's absence so far is solid evidence!"

"Hisss..."

"Just a mortal-star cultivator besting An Shixuan. This kid's potential is downright scary!"

"Who claims mortal stars lack geniuses!"

"Fellow Daoist Yi is unstoppable! His freakish talent earns this spot!"

...

Following the lively exchange, Yi Feng's name rocked the Heavenly Ranking, his renown briefly eclipsing all others!

As darkness descended, the buzzing talks echoed across the immortal manors. The mortal-star prodigy's legend had spread like wildfire on its own!

Even the typically reserved and modest mortal-star cultivators lifted their chins proudly that night, toasting freely in cheer, chatting and chuckling. The whole evening rang with vibrant noise as Snowflake Island erupted in historic commotion.

Just one opulent immortal isle dwelling stayed eerily still.

An Shixuan, healing on his bed, learned the facts and flushed from pale to furious. Spotting the Heavenly Ranking projection from his aides, he promptly coughed up a gush of old blood!

"Pfft!"

"Yi Feng! You struck me by surprise first, then snatched my Heavenly Ranking chance. I, An Shixuan, won't forget you!"
