Chapter 1673: Xu Can

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Gang’s strength was truly not a disappointment since he was acknowledged as the strongest person under the Refined Saint Stage in the Rising Sky Mansion.

Faced with his opponent who was at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, he merely used three moves to kill his opponent. His opponent could not even react in time. Xu Gang immediately became the new Ring Master in a compelling manner.

“How powerful!” When Xu Gang killed his opponent, exclamations of shock could be heard in the surroundings.

Previously, although some of them had heard of Xu Gang before, due to Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Gang was overshadowed by him.

It was only when Xu Jing had broken through to the Refined Saint Stage that Xu Gang’s fame began to spread. However, although he began to gain fame, it was all merely rumors. Today, the rumors were finally confirmed after Xu Gang displayed his prowess.

“Elder Xu Cen, it looks like apart from your Young Mansion Master, your Rising Sky Mansion has many outstanding talents as well!” Ren Zhong said with a smile as he looked at Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion.

Long before Xu Gang had easily killed his opponent, a smile had already appeared on Xu Cen’s face. When he heard Ren Zhong’s words, he nodded. “Although the most outstanding one is still our Young Mansion Master Xu Jing, the Rising Sky Mansion still has many outstanding talents apart from Xu Jing. Xu Gang is merely one of them.”

His words implied that apart from Xu Jing and Xu Gang these two geniuses, the Rising Sky Mansion had many other geniuses as well.

“I’ve also heard your grandson is also a remarkable genius, Elder Xu Cen. Among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion, he’s merely inferior to Xu Jing. I’m sure he’s here today as well, right?” Liu Hong Guang asked as he looked at Xu Cen.

Xu Cen threw his head back laughing before he turned to look at the group of people from the Rising Sky Mansion. His gaze landed on an aloof young man who was dressed in a black robe.

Nobody knew what Xu Cen said through Voice Transmission, but the aloof black-clad young man came to stand beside him.

“Vice Mansion Master Ren, Elder Liu, this is my useless grandson, Xu Can,” Xu Cen introduced his grandson.

Although he used the word ‘useless’ to describe Xu Can, one could see in his eyes that he was very proud of his grandson.

Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and Xu Cen had traveled together to Nimble Valley as soon they met up. They did not interact much with each other, let alone with the group of elders and disciples from the Rising Sky Mansion.

“Good day, Seniors,” Xu Can greeted Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang with a nod.

“Please don’t mind him too much. My grandson is born with an eccentric personality. Even when he meets with the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, he’s like this as well,” Xu Cen explained even though Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang did not show any signs of displeasure.

In his opinion, both Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang were people he could not afford to offend.

“It’s alright! He’s just being true to himself!” Ren Zhong expressed his understanding.

“That’s right!” Liu Hong Guang nodded, agreeing with Ren Zhong’s words.

Naturally, the conversation between the three high-ranking officials from the fourth-rate forces was also heard by the people present on the scene.

The eyes that were trained on Xu Gang immediately shifted to the black-clad young man standing next to Xu Cen. The black-clad young man’s name was Xu Can, and he was Xu Cen’s biological grandson.

“So he’s Xu Can!” Many people exclaimed.

“Xu Can? Who’s Xu Can?” This was the first time many people heard of Xu Can. Their faces and eyes were filled with confusion.

“It’s normal for you to not have heard of Xu Can. Compared to Xu Gang, Xu Can maintains a low profile in the Rising Sky Mansion. Among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Can’s innate ability is actually much higher than Xu Gang, and he’s not inferior to Xu Jing as well,” somebody said, “He’s actually five years younger than Xu Jing! If he’s Xu Jing’s age, even if he can’t surpass Xu Jing, he would at least be on par with Xu Jing!”

“Wow! To think there’s such a talented disciple in the Rising Sky Mansion!” Many people exclaimed.

“My goodness! Looks like I’m really out of the loop! I didn’t even know the Rising Sky Mansion has such a genius!” Somebody chimed in.

“It’s normal to have not heard of him. I’ve only heard about him six months ago. Unlike how high profile the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing, is, Xu Can maintains a low profile. He usually stays in the Rising Sky Mansion to cultivate. Apparently, he’s really obsessed with martial art. In his words, ‘There’s nothing apart from the Martial Dao.’”

“I’ve also heard of this. In the last ten years, Xu Can rarely shows himself in front of others. Even at that time, his innate talent was not inferior to Xu Jing. During these ten years, Xu Jing has been wandering around, living a life of leisure while Xu Can has been in closed-door cultivation, diligently cultivating. Even if Xu Can’s strength is not up to Xu Jing’s level yet, the difference between their strength can’t be that much.”

“After a few dozen years, if Xu Jing still continues living leisurely, Xu Can will definitely surpass him.”

The people buried their heads together in discussion. Those who had heard of Xu Can praised him.

“Xu Can…” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian also shifted his gaze to Xu Can.

Now that he looked at him, Xu Can was quite similar to him. His face quite resembled the disguise he had put on.

In a glance, one could see both Xu Can and Duan Ling Tian had an aloof countenance. Their body exuded a cold and unapproachable aura just like two icebergs.

‘Since Xu Can is stronger than Xu Gang, and Xu Gang is acknowledged as the strongest person below the Refined Saint Stage, this means Xu Can must be at the Refined Saint Stage,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Xu Gang stood in the middle of a huge black chess piece. When he saw how everyone’s attention had shifted to Xu Can, as though Xu Can had snatched away his limelight, a wry smile appeared on his face. However, he was not upset at all.

He knew very well how he measured up to Xu Can. In fact, Xu Can was younger than him. Ten years ago, he was no match for Xu Can. Currently, the gap between them had grown even bigger.

Moreover, from what he knew, not long after Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, broke through to the Refined Saint Stage, Xu Can had broken through to the Refined Saint Stage as well.

If one were to ask Xu Gang who he admired the most among his peers in the Rising Sky Mansion, his answer would undoubtedly be Xu Can.

As for Xu Jing, Xu Gang had never thought highly of that playboy and good-for-nothing rich kid.

Due to this reason, even if Xu Can had snatched the limelight from him, he did not feel anything at all. Instead, he felt it was justified, and he could only smile wryly.

After Xu Gang killed his opponent and became the Ring Master, the other Ring Masters on the nine chess pieces once again welcomed powerful opponents. They either defeated and killed their opponents or they were defeated and killed by their opponents.

The morning passed by very quickly, and the Ring Masters on the nine chess pieces had changed again.

As time continued to pass by, there were fewer and fewer challengers.

In the afternoon, 30 minutes went by without anyone stepping into the ring at all.

Naturally, this did not mean the current ten Ring Masters would be able to make it on the Rising Sky Ranking. This was because none of the Refined Saint Stage powerhouses had stepped into the arena yet.

Currently, all ten Ring Masters were from the middle-aged generation who was at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district.

In the Rising Sky Mansion’s district, although there were not many Refined Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of fifty, the numbers were not small either.

Some of the people came from other forces while some of them were sectless cultivators in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district. Relatively speaking, the latter was more than the former. However, the latter was not that famous.

“Now it’s time for the Refined Saint Stage powerhouses to go up on the arena,” Many people whispered to one another as they looked at the arena in anticipation.

Duan Ling Tian stood quietly at the edge of the white chess piece as he hugged the Jasper Celestial Sword. Currently, he had no intention of making his move yet.

This was because he did not feel it was necessary for him to make a move now. Apart from that, he would feel like a bully if he made his move now.

Although he was only at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage, due to the extraordinary Sun True Origin, he was not inferior to a Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivator in terms of True Origin. Moreover, it was even more powerful than an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator.

Along with his other abilities, he would really be a bully if he stepped into the ring now.

Moreover, his objective for participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle was to kill Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. Due to this reason, he only planned to make his move once Xu Jing made his appearance.

He only needed to battle Xu Jing once to kill him, and he would already achieve what he came here to do.

“Xu Gang, I’ll fight you.” A voice filled with vigor reverberated in the air as a figure flew out from the group of people of a fifth-rate force called Pure Yang Shrine.

It was a young man dressed in a dopo. He had a sinister look in his eyes as they gleamed coldly. It made him look dangerous.

“This man is like a poisonous snake,” somebody whispered soon after.

Although he had intentionally lowered his voice, the people present on the scene heard his comment since all of them had sharp hearings. Many people began to whisper among themselves.

“The moment this Pure Yang Shrine’s disciple appeared, he emits a sinister feeling. Although he’s alone, I do feel the aura of poisonous snakes from him.”

“Those who possess this aura are usually not very kind people.”

“This man is dangerous.’

“Not only that, but he must be at the Refined Saint Stage as well. A Refined Saint Stage powerhouse who’s not even 50 years old, and he’s from the Pure Yang Shrine. Apart from Jing Xu Zi, there seem to be two other people in the Pure Yang Shrine who fits these criteria! They’re Yu Xu Zi and Yin Xu Zi.”

“Jing Xu Zi is the strongest powerhouse among the middle-aged generation in the Pure Yang Shrine. Although Yu Xu Zi and Yin Xu Zi’s innate talents are quite remarkable, they can’t compare to him at all. However, the gap between their strength is not too wide. This person must be either Yu Xu Zi or Yin Xu Zi.”

“Although I’ve never seen Yu Xu Zi and Yin Xu Zi before, I feel like he’s Yin Xu Zi. The name Yin Xu Zi seems to fit his temperament more.” The people whispered among themselves as they speculated the identity of this disciple from the Pure Yang Shrine.
