Chapter 117

If the Heavenly Pride Rankings were merely established by Li Changsheng, then at best, it would be nothing more than a badge of honor. Furthermore, such an honor is better suited for the younger generation of the literary circles; for the younger generation of the sects and independent cultivators, it is entirely dispensable. This was the primary reason why today’s gathering consisted only of students from the academy, while disciples of sects and independent cultivators remained absent. But now, it was different. Li Changsheng had actually had the Heavenly Pride Rankings sign a contract with Heaven’s Way. With this, anyone who made it onto the rankings would receive a gift from Heaven’s Way—effectively creating an additional channel to acquire spiritual energy, martial arts techniques, Dharmic Artifacts, and divine tools. Moreover, the value of this channel was something no other existing method in the world could match. In an instant, all the students were filled with excitement. Their earlier dissatisfaction and resentment vanished, replaced by a desperate craving to make the list, or perhaps, a craving to receive the recognition of Chu Xuan, who held the top spot.
