Chapter 897: The Top Ten Are Determined
Mo Wen’s terrifying ability caused a chill to well up in the hearts of all the Ming Temple elders . Having such a youth as their enemy would definitely make it impossible for them to eat or sleep in peace .
“Elder Bu, I heard you have a long-standing feud with this Mo Wen . ” Shao Yunyang, the Ming Temple leader, frowned as he glanced at Bu Xinyi .
Based on Shao Yunyang’s understanding, the conflict between the Ming Temple and Mo Wen all stemmed from Bu Xingyi .
Of course, he didn’t know Mo Wen’s identity . Otherwise, he would surely not perceive it to be the case . In Shao Yunyang’s mind, Bu Xingyi was to blame for anchoring the friction between the Ming Temple and Mo Wen .
Bu Xingyi sought to clarify matters quickly . “Temple Leader, Mo Wen is closely associated with the Gao Clan . The reason why I often singled him out and caused us to be in this current predicament is because of my loyalty towards the Ming Temple . ”
His heart turned cold . He knew Shao Yunyang’s temper . He was definitely a cruel and merciless person . The gaze that he gave Bu Xingyi made Bu Xingyi feel deeply uneasy .
“Humph, you have such loyalty to the Ming Temple . Since you are so loyal to the Ming Temple, then you can settle this matter on your own . I don’t like this Mo Wen coming at us . You’d better find a way to settle your score with him . If you involve us, then don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Shao Yunyang said coldly .
In his eyes, this Elder Bu Xingyi was a fool . His cultivation did not seem to show any improvement, but he was very capable of stirring up trouble .
Bu Xingyi felt a chill strike his heart . His eyes were full of terror . He knew that the Temple Leader wanted to forsake him to appease Mo Wen . He usually dared to act so arrogantly not only because he had the capabilities of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but mostly because he had the Ming Temple behind him . Who in the various large Inner worlds would not show respect to the Ming Temple?
But right now, if the Ming Temple deserted him, he would truly be…
“Qinghan, this Mo Wen is most likely not an ordinary person . He will certainly achieve much in the future . For you to have encountered him is truly a great stroke of fortune,” the Zhongyu Sect’s sect leader exclaimed . Mo Wen and their ordinary martial art circle sects seemed to exist in different worlds . For Wang Qinghan to have encountered him and for her terminal illness to have been cured was truly a great stroke of fortune .
Wang Qinghan’s eyes were bright . Fate was sometimes so mysterious . She had believed that she did not have many years to live . Who knew that with a simple act of kindness in letting Mo Wen into her car, such a turnaround would occur . If back then, she had not been kind and offered Senior Mo a ride, her fate would most likely still be unchanged .
After Mo Wen defeated Heng Xiangguang, he kept a much lower profile, hardly participating in any challenge ring battles . He only needed to keep his points securely in the top ten and that would be enough . If he battled too many times now and revealed too much of his ability, he would certainly be at a disadvantage during the upcoming ranked battles .

Among the participants, there were still some outstanding opponents . Reserving some of his abilities would give him an advantage in future battles .
Two days passed by in the blink of an eye . When everything had ended, Mo Wen had almost a hundred thousand points . He was ranked eighth and was one of those ranked among the top ten .
Gu Jingman did not participate in any battles at all . Mo Wen thought that she had long given up . After all, the Heaven List Tournament was too fierce, and it was common for many people who did not have the ability, such as Shao Ji, to withdraw . Although they had made it to the Mechanized Maze City, there was basically no hope of them getting into the top ten .
But what Mo Wen had not anticipated was that when the top ten were finally announced, he would get a shock .
All the challenge rings that were floating in midair had already disappeared, and in their place were ten round pillars . Each pillar was marked with the numbers one to ten . The participants could stand on the pillar which corresponded to their ranking . Those who had not made it into the top ten were disqualified .
However, those who were disqualified did not go leave empty-handed . Those ranked among the top one hundred received generous rewards . The top one thousand and five hundred competitors also received small tokens . For ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners, even small tokens given by the Huatian Palace were absolutely precious . This was the reason why the Heaven List Tournament drove so many into a frenzy .
What Mo Wen had not anticipated was that the person who stood on the pillar marked number one, the person that Mo Wen had also always been curious about was actually…
“What? You are ‘Good Woman’ who is ranked first with more than four hundred thousand points?” Mo Wen stared at Gu Jingman with a look of astonishment . He never imagined that the mysterious “Good Woman” was actually Gu Jingman . Also, this name was too…
For all the participants, even the criminals, Good Woman was a mystery . She had more than four hundred thousand points . No one knew how she had managed to pull it off .
From the very beginning, she had not participated in any battle in the fighting rings . However, no one could remove her from her position at the top . The second-placed Dark Hand kept killing in the death corner fighting ring, but in the end, only managed to get around one hundred and fifty thousand points . Her points total was several times higher than the second-placed person .
Everyone was curious as to who this Good Woman was . Mo Wen never thought that she was actually Gu Jingman .
“You are that ‘Good Woman’?” Mo Wen’s eyes were wide .
“What’s the matter? Don’t I look like a ‘Good Woman’?” Gu Jingman rolled her eyes at Mo Wen .

“Hehe… I meant to ask how you got so many points . ” Mo Wen could not wrap his head around how Gu Jingman had obtained so many points .
“Of course, I earned them myself . ” Gu Jingman softly snorted, but her eyes were beaming . She liked the look on Mo Wen’s face now .
Mo Wen felt helpless . Although he could not comprehend how she had done it, the reality was right in front of him . No one could cheat in the Heaven List Tournament organized by the Huatian Palace .
For a moment, almost everyone had their gazes fixed on Gu Jingman .
“So, she is the mysterious ‘Good Woman’ with more than four hundred thousand points . Good heavens! How did she pull it off?”
“It seems that that ‘Good Woman’ did not participate in any of the challenge ring battles . That means that before she entered Mechanized Maze City, she already had so many points . It is practically unbelievable . ”
Some of the participants, as well as the criminals in the Red Stone Forest, were frantically discussing this . The mystery that had always been on people’s minds had finally been solved .
Who would have imagined that this Good Woman was actually such a flirtatious great beauty? When Gu Jingman stood on the most noticeable challenge ring, she attracted the gazes of almost everyone .
“Such a beautiful older sister . How can she be so beautiful? Could it be that she is a fairy?”
In the Divine Dragon Nest, Su Wan’er blinked . She felt that the older sister who was ranked first was so pretty, with an inexplicable beauty . Su Wan’er was considered a beauty in her sect . However, she was but an ugly duckling when compared to the beautiful older sister . Gu Jingman’s ethereal beauty and temperament were enough to make any woman envious of her .
“The lady is definitely extraordinary,” Tang Zhizhi exclaimed . As a Huatian Palace Executor, she knew that there was a type of beauty that could not be measured by common standards . The common beauties could compete in splendor, and they would each have their advantages; however, ethereal beauty went beyond the appearance . She had seen a goddess-like lady in the Huatian Palace before . The lady could also cause others to be uncontrollably impressed by her .
After the top ten had been determined, the next item on the agenda was the ranking battles . The participants had a day of rest first .

The ranking battles were simple . The top ten participants fought each other one by one and determined their final ranking .
With different rankings, their final rewards would be different too .
Of course, all top ten participants had a great advantage, which was acquiring the chance to enter the legendary Goddess’s World .
Even though Mo Wen did not know what was so special about the Goddess’s World, he was well aware that those ancient martial arts practitioners from the hidden martial arts strain had all suddenly appeared here because of it . Without the Goddess’s World as a reward, these people would most likely not be here at all .
Everyone in the top ten had the chance to enter the Goddess’ World . For those people from the hidden martial arts strain, their goal had been achieved .
Of course, their ranking was rather important too . The higher their rank, the more benefits they received . Nobody knew what kind of precious items the Huatian Palace would give them . Besides, it seemed like their ranking had an impact on their experience in the Goddess’s World later .
A day later, all the criminals in the death corner fighting ring had retreated, returning to the Red Stone Forest . The top ten participants, including Mo Wen, were teleported away by ten streaks of divine light . When they appeared again, they were in an empty space in the Divine Dragon Nest .
Gu Jingman was in first place .
Second place was still occupied by the guy named Dark Hand . The third place was held by Wine and Meat Monk; Water Deity was in fourth place . Their positions were unshakable; their ability far surpassed other participants’ .
Fifth place was occupied by a person that Mo Wen would never expect him to be ranked . If others did not know the guy, perhaps they wouldn’t mind . However, not only did Mo Wen know this guy, but Mo Wen also knew that it was highly unlikely for him to be here .
His name was Xin Wuji . Mo Wen knew him because of the incident that had happened at the Crimson Star Sect before this . The Crimson Star Sect was one of the top five sects in the main space . They were naturally supported by a powerful sect from the Inner worlds . Before this, when Mo Wen approached the Crimson Star Sect, he had encountered Xin Wuji’s grandfather, who was a Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner .
However, his grandfather was only a Martial Arts Grandmaster and Xin Wuji merely had later stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation back then . No matter how heaven-defying Xin Wuji’s talents were, it was rather impossible for him to improve so much in such a short amount of time . Even common third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters could not be ranked fifth . If Xin Wuji’s grandfather was here, he would most likely not be able to enter the Mechanized Maze City at all .
However, Xin Wuji was actually ranked fifth!
This matter was indeed suspicious and caused Mo Wen to cast a few glances at Xin Wuji .
Before this, Xin Wuji was not particularly outstanding . Mo Wen had not noticed him amongst the rest of the participants . However, in the last two days, he had suddenly exploded with a peerless astonishing ability and had skyrocketed all the way up the leaderboard to a final rank of fifth place .
In sixth place was Sword Addict White Dust . This person had an incredible ability . It was likely that when he had exchanged blows with Mo Wen before this, he had been concealed a lot of his power .
In seventh place was a person who was very low-profile . His name was Shen Hao . He didn’t reveal any of his moves or origin, yet he was firmly placed in seventh place .
In eighth place was Mo Wen . In ninth place was Guo Mengqiao, who was also from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall . Mo Wen knew a little about him . As for Chou Tong who was also from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, he was ranked twentieth and had not managed to make it into the top ten . The competition of the Heaven List Tournament this time around was very fierce . Some people, who had initially seemed certain to make it into the top ten, didn’t even make it into the top twenty .
Instead, some people of unknown names and origin were powerful beyond compare .
In tenth place was Lord Merciless . Initially, Mo Wen thought that Lord Merciless would be unable to secure his place among the top ten . However, Mo Wen had not imagined that during the last two days, Lord Merciless’s cultivation would have broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm, and he had forcefully secured his position in tenth place .
