Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 432 - First Jiang Fan

Chapter 432: Chapter 432 First, Jiang Fan!

Chapter 432 -432 First, Jiang Fan!

At that moment, Hua Xiangchen was completely dumbfounded.

He stammered weakly, “Unless the other sects also have someone named Chu Xingmeng.”

“Then she must be a new disciple from our Supreme Sect.”

“Her cultivation… is even lower than Qin Caihe’s. She’s at the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment.”

The crowd fell into utter silence.

Everyone felt a bit numb.

Today’s ranking list was so bizarre that no one could find the words to comment.

Luo Dongcheng continued, “Third place, Yi Lianxing—completed one Heaven-level mission and seven Earth-level missions, earning a total of 540 merit points.”

Quite a few people rubbed their foreheads.

“Finally, someone with at least some reputation.”

“Yi Lianxing is a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect. Although she isn’t the chief disciple, she is still at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment.”

*But… how is someone like her connected to third place? Not even remotely.*

Liu Qingxian couldn’t make sense of it either.

She asked, “Fan, what’s the story with these three women?”

“Given their strength, how could each of them complete a Heaven-level mission?”

Jiang Fan replied nervously, “This… maybe someone helped them out.”

Jin Zhongming, Liang Feiyan, and a group of disciples were holding back their frustration.

“Come on, just read the rest—let’s see if there’s another ordinary disciple in the rankings!”

“Finish reading first, then we’ll do the math properly!”

No one was convinced about these three women.

Nor did anyone believe they could complete Heaven-level missions.

Liang Feiyan’s expression darkened. “So far, only Xia Chaoge seems secure in her spot.”

“Her absolute strength puts these anomalies well out of her reach.”

Hua Xiangchen forced a bitter smile. “Last month, Xia Chaoge completed one Heaven-level mission, as well as several Earth-level and Profound-level ones.”

“Who could possibly shake her position?”

However.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Dongcheng read out her name.

“Second place, Xia Chaoge—completed one Heaven-level mission, one Earth-level mission, and two First-level missions, earning a total of 800 merit points.”

The venue plunged once again into dead silence.

The terrifying number of missions completed and her second-place ranking stood in stark contrast!

Eight hundred merit points.

She soared far ahead, leaving the third-place person behind by more than 500 points!

But still, she was only ranked second!

This instantly sparked an uproar.

“Xia Chaoge, the Supreme Prodigy of the Nine-Sect Land, with 800 merit points—you’re telling me she’s just second place?”

“Hahaha! Is this ranking list for real or just a joke?”

“It’s utterly ridiculous—completely lacking credibility!”

Disciples erupted in fury.

Even though Ye Cangyuan and two representatives from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were present, the outrage couldn’t be contained anymore.

They directly criticized the credibility of the rankings.

Luo Dongcheng’s expression shifted.

He hadn’t expected the announcement of the rankings to trigger public outrage.

Unable to decide, he turned to Ye Cangyuan for guidance. “Vice Pavilion Master Ye, should I keep reading?”

Ye Cangyuan let out a light scoff, “Read!”

“The Pavilion Master himself did the rankings—how could there possibly be an issue?”

“Any doubts will be resolved face-to-face!”

With his strong backing, Luo Dongcheng hesitated no longer.

“First place!”

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Each person clenched their jaw, eager to see who could surpass Xia Chaoge and step over all the prodigies of the Nine-Sect Land!

“Jiang Fan!”

As his name was read aloud.

The enormous plaza erupted in waves of shocked exclamations.

“Who? Jiang Fan?”

“Green Cloud Sect’s Jiang Fan?”

“That disciple with No Spiritual Root, Jiang Fan?”

“He’s the first place?”

“Hahaha! What an absolute joke!”

“He’s worthy of first place?”

…

A torrent of furious and mocking gazes turned to Jiang Fan.

It was undeniable—they naturally assumed Jiang Fan must have cheated.

Liang Feiyan opened his mouth but said nothing.

*He wanted to believe in Jiang Fan, but… such a prestigious ranking—he couldn’t accept it either.*

Liu Qingxian froze for a moment. “Fan, this Jiang Fan… is that you?”

Even someone so close couldn’t believe the ranking.

Jin Zhongming laughed angrily. “Jiang Fan—first place?”

“Does that mean I’m the biggest joke here?”

“If today’s situation isn’t explained clearly, I, Jin Zhongming, will permanently leave Sunset City!”

“Forget the Beast Tide, forget the floodwaters!”

“Let everything rot away!”

Many disciples displayed immense sorrow and rage.

*They risked life and limb, sacrificing sweat and blood.*

*Yet, ultimately, their efforts were overshadowed by a handful of connections and stolen victories?*

*Who would want to keep fighting under such circumstances?*

Luo Dongcheng’s heart trembled. Mustering his courage, he said, “Two Heaven-level missions, one Second-level mission, and one Third-level mission.”

“Total merit: 825 points!”

What?

Two Heaven-level missions?

The crowd’s anger surged higher.

“This is nonsense!”

“Up until now, only five Heaven-level missions have been completed!”

“He’s claiming Jiang Fan completed two of them?”

“If this turns out to be true, I’ll cut my head off and let him use it as a soccer ball!”

…

The indignation reached boiling point.

Ye Cangyuan’s inherently commanding voice echoed, “What’s all this clamor?”

“I’ll make sure Jiang Fan explains himself, so you’ll be convinced!”

Though his words were resolute, inwardly, he wasn’t entirely certain.

Jiang Fan completing two Heaven-level missions last month—this claim sounded far-fetched.

Could it really be that the Pavilion Master had bent the rules for this young man?

*If these matters aren’t clarified today,*

*a rebellion could truly break out, leading to catastrophic consequences.*

He fixed his stern gaze upon Jiang Fan. “The crowd doubts your ranking heavily.”

“Do you dare respond to them?”

Jiang Fan let out a sigh.

*What should have been a straightforward ranking ceremony had devolved completely.*

*He wouldn’t be able to avoid explaining it now.*

Without hesitation, he leaped onto a Spirit Beast standing over three meters tall.

From his elevated position, he proclaimed, “Since you’re questioning it, I’ll explain to you now!”

“That guy who said he’d give me his head as a soccer ball—prepare your neck!”

His tone was icy.

Killing intent subtly radiated from him.

“I completed two critical missions!”

“The first involved escorting a Thousand-mile Eagle crucial to the war effort to the Desires Sect’s western battlefield!”

“What level of mission is that? Say it out loud!”

The furious crowd suddenly froze.

Their blazing fury extinguished by half in an instant.

“Escorting a Thousand-mile Eagle… well, that’s definitely a Heaven-level mission.”

“I heard the person executing that mission encountered a Fifth Level Core Formation Silver Winged Thunderbird mid-journey, yet still successfully delivered the Thousand-mile Eagle.”

“Being eyed by a Silver Winged Thunderbird and still completing such a mission—a miracle, truly.”

“So, it turns out this person is Jiang Fan!”

“Looks like we may have misunderstood him.”

…

With parts of the truth revealed, many who had been the loudest earlier fell silent.

Jin Zhongming was taken aback.

Could Jiang Fan really have completed a Heaven-level mission?

Yet, he still couldn’t accept it. “But that’s just one mission!”

“I don’t believe you completed two Heaven-level missions!”

Jiang Fan cast him a cold glance and replied icily,

“The second mission was to interrogate the Golden Claw Iron Wolf held in the Giant Sect’s dungeon!”

“Once again, tell me loud and clear!”

“What level of mission was that?”

The crowd instantly burst into shocked exclamations.

“What? He completed the mission to interrogate the Golden Claw Iron Wolf?”

“Many failed when trying to complete this mission!”

“The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion became desperate and raised it from Profound Level to Heaven Level, but still, no one succeeded.”

“In the end, they were prepared to abandon the mission and let the elders handle it!”

“And yet… Jiang Fan completed it!”

“This means Jiang Fan truly did complete two Heaven-level missions!”

“Then his first-place ranking… is actually… indisputable?”
