C49 Ah! He was just putting on a show!

"I only reached the forty-seventh step, I can't advance anymore."

"I've charged into the The 60th step of the Heaven Stairway, and in previous years, this kind of result can already be entered into the Top 100. I wonder what will happen this year."

"The 60th step of the Heaven Stairway, that's also a pretty good result. There will definitely be a middle-class family coming to recruit you. "

Everyone was gathered together in groups of three to five, exchanging information about Sky Stairway's results and feelings. Some were happy, while others were depressed.

"The Heaven Stairway rankings are out!"

someone shouted.

On the mysterious Sky Stairway, many words appeared. Cheng Fei looked up and saw that the clouds surrounding the Heaven Stairway had turned into words. From top to bottom was the Sky Stairway's grade rankings.

First place, Zi Luolin, 90 steps of Heaven Stairway!

Second place, Li Taixuan, eighty-seven steps of Heaven Stairway!

3rd place, Wang Wuji, 83rd step of the Heaven Stairway!

Fourth place, Bu Yuanchen, 82nd Heaven Stairway!

Twelfth place, Cheng Fei, Seventh step of the Heaven Stairway!

"Who's Cheng Fei? He's actually ranked twelfth!"

"I don't know. Has anyone heard of this name before? Could he be the same as Zhou Qian, a genius from a middle-ranked clan? "

"How is this possible? There is no reason for me to not have heard of such a genius before!"

The twelfth rank of the Heaven Stairway was simply too eye-catching. The top eleven were all the geniuses of the Twelve Heaven's Pride s that everyone was familiar with. However, before the Sky Stairway, Cheng Fei was only somewhat famous in arena number 1032.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "I remember now, this Cheng Fei is one of the five Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage s ranked up in the arena battle. It is said that his strength is not weaker than Foundation Establishment Stage Level 8!"

"What, Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage?!"

"Oh my god, I remember now. At that time, there were still people in Da Xuan City saying that Cheng Fei could replace the Twelve Heaven's Pride, Hong Zhanlei. It's just that there are too many of such rumors!"

"Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage, Seventh step of the Heaven Stairway! This is too heaven-defying! "

When Cheng Fei had first passed through the arena with his cultivation of Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage, a few of them were on the same stage as Cheng Fei, and there were even a few who noticed this information and knew of him. As a result, everyone became even more excited.

Zi Luolin's achievement of stepping onto the 90th step was enough to be recorded in the annals of history, as well as her ranking of the eleven heaven's pride level experts, were all covered up by Cheng Fei alone.

"Aiyaya, your act of posturing is off." Hearing the fiery discussions around him, Cheng Fei shrunk his head back.

"Sister Luo Lin, this Cheng Fei is too despicable. Isn't it just Seventh step of the Heaven Stairway? Beside Zi Luolin who was dressed in black, a girl wearing a light green dress was hugging onto Zi Luolin as he pouted unhappily.

The green-clothed girl looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her round face had a hint of red on it, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. She was very cute.

Zi Luolin's face was cold the entire time, but she could not do anything to the green clothed girl beside him. Looking at the green-clothed girl's angry look, Zi Luolin's beautiful face revealed a trace of helplessness, and said softly: "Hannya, with this Cheng Fei's Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage cultivation, it's indeed not easy to achieve a Seventh step of the Heaven Stairway, it's only right for everyone to discuss this."

Hannya?

Ji Banruo!

The green clothed girl that was originally close to Zi Luolin was one of the Twelve Heaven's Pride. Other than Zi Luolin, she was also known as the Da Xuan City's Two Great Goddesses.

Ji Banruo's personality was exactly the opposite of Zi Luolin's. Zi Luolin was excessively cold, yet Ji Banruo was extremely lively and cute, and she was even a chatterbox.

"With such a shameful cultivation, the fact that you are still participating in the Genius Competition is not shameful at all!" When Ji Banruo heard Zi Luolin's words, she did not have any good impression of Cheng Fei, who had stolen the limelight!

This time, in Sky Stairway, Ji Banruo was actually ranked sixth, which was two places higher than her rank of the Twelve Heaven's Pride. When she saw the rankings of the Heaven Stairway, Ji Banruo was happy to brag to Zi Luolin. However, she did not expect that it would be covered up by Cheng Fei's radiance.

Zi Luolin smiled slightly, she did not say anymore, and quietly looked at the rankings on the Heaven Stairway, her eyes unconsciously looking at the twelfth row. Ji Banruo continued to hold onto Zi Luolin's arm, chattering nonstop. Zi Luolin only smiled slightly, but she was already used to it.

When Ji Banruo and Zi Luolin were discussing Cheng Fei, the other twelve Heaven's Pride members did not avoid it either.

"Big brother, what background does this Cheng Fei have? How come he is ranked twelfth without making any noise? This is not a simple matter." A young man wearing a green scholar's robe frowned as she asked the man in white beside him.

The man in white was tall and slender, and his white robe made him look extremely handsome.

These two were none other than Ji Ying and Zhou Qian, the twelve heaven chosen ones.

Zhou Qian and Ji Ying were sworn friends, and the two had always called each other brothers, inseparable.

Hearing Zhou Qian's question, Ji Ying recalled, "Cheng Fei was placed in the top ten of Stage Area 1032, and his cultivation is only at Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage. He defeated several Foundation Establishment stage level 8 opponents, and is a dark horse."

Ji Ying was always sensitive to intelligence, he would always gather all sorts of intelligence while training. He naturally would not let go of information regarding the Genius Competition. Add to that his well-informed knowledge, he would be able to remember all of this information after reading it.

That was why Zhou Qian asked Ji Ying.

"The Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage defeated several Foundation Establishment stage level 8 opponents?" Zhou Qian's expression changed slightly, and said again, "Although this kind of strength is not bad, it's not at the level of Heaven Stairway rank 12."

Ji Ying nodded, and said, "You're right, when this Cheng Fei was in the arena, from start to finish, he had only used the Eye of Death's ability, and every time he had killed his opponent, he had never used any other method!"

"Instant kill? Instant kill of level eight Foundation Establishment? " Zhou Qian was shocked. He could kill an ordinary level 8 Foundation Establishment cultivator instantly, but Cheng Fei was only at the Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage level, and he could only use one sacred art.

"Big brother, we can also instantly kill a Foundation Building Stage Level 8, but even some of the geniuses at the fourth or fifth level of the Heaven Stairway can do it too, it would be hard to determine Cheng Fei's strength." Zhou Qian understood why Ji Ying did not pay attention to him earlier, exactly because Cheng Fei's strength was uncertain. Furthermore, with Cheng Fei's Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage, people would subconsciously think that Cheng Fei's strength was only stronger than a normal level 8 Foundation Establishment cultivator, and was not excessively strong.

"But after the Sky Stairway, Cheng Fei's strength can be determined — at least his Seventh step of the Heaven Stairway!" Ji Ying said with a look of regret.

Zhou Qian had no objection to Cheng Fei's strength, but after seeing Ji Ying's vexed expression, he immediately understood, and said: "Big Brother, it might be too late to recruit him now."

Zhou Qian was only born in a small clan of the Da Xuan City. Being able to become brothers in life and death with the top genius Ji Ying of the six great clans was not because he had to rely on comradeship, but because the two of them understood each other's personality.

The moment he saw Ji Ying's vexed expression, he knew that Ji Ying must have regretted not recruiting Cheng Fei in advance because of the clan. Ji Ying knew about Cheng Fei at the end of the Group Arena, but he did not pay much attention to him at that time. If he had been able to recruit them back then, he might have been able to recruit a genius for his family with a bright future.
