Chapter 12: The Typical Cannon Fodder?
(TN: From this chapter and onward, the honorifics will be left as the original Pinyin form, as I think the English equivalent does not translate aptly. I will give a loose definition of the honorific as it appears. Do leave me a comment if the titles get too confusing.)Qin Yanzhi?
This person was merely a high-level Amethyst Abode, but he had surpassed all the absolute-level cultivators, and currently ranked first on the Heaven and Earth list of the Amethyst Abode cultivators.
From the Foundation Establishment stage and onwards, each stage was divided into 4 smaller levels, namely the lower-level, middle-level, high-level and absolute-level. Every breakthrough to the next level required tremendous effort, and the strength difference between each sub-level was vastly great.
Amethyst Abode as an example, the spiritual energy that could be activated by a mid-level cultivator was several times more compared to a low-level cultivator, even dozens of times more. Although the actual combative strength would differ from person to person, for a high-level cultivator to surpass those at a higher sub-level than he was, it was almost unheard of.
Jing Yue was shocked, “Who’s Qin Yanzhi? Why’s he ranked so high?”
It was not impossible to win against someone with a higher sub-level, as Jing Yue had done so in his past life, but it was combined with a very rare and immense stroke of good fortune. For Qin Yanzhi, however, it was not an occasional three or five opponent, but a grand total of 99.
No, that was not all. More opponents did not make it into the top 100 list, were they all beaten by him?
Unexpectedly, the burly man was even more surprised than he was, and his voice increased unconsciously, “You don’t even know Qin-zhenjun*?”
(TN: Zhenren 真人is loosely defined as True Being or Perfect Person. In this novel, the title is bestowed to cultivators Golden Core and above. Zhenjun 真君 would be above Zhenren and given to very few people.)Jing Yue shook his head blankly, attracting many people’s attention.
