A quaint chest appeared near Xia Feng’s feet.
I wonder what I can get from this Top Combat Ability Chest.
Xia Feng lowered his head and looked.
[Top Combat Ability Chest: Nobody knows what they’ll get from this chest. Maybe a bottle of water, or maybe an unparalleled treasure.]
[Your luck depends on your looks. A man as handsome as you will definitely get some great.]
Damn right. This hint is pretty obvious. Xia Feng was quite satisfied with the golden words.
Xia Feng opened the chest, and found a scroll in it.
[System notification: Top Combat Ability Chest +1]
[System notification: Scroll of Five Elements Spiritual Technique +1]
Xia Feng picked up the scroll, and found the words “Five Elements Spiritual Technique” on it.
[Scroll of Five Elements Spiritual Technique: A scroll that records the basic Five Elements Spiritual Technique. You can learn some of the basics of the Five Elements Spiritual Technique from it.]
[Requirement: A spiritual body.]
[System notification: You have met the requirement. Do you want to learn the Scroll of Five Elements Spiritual Technique?]
“Learn it.” Xia Feng didn’t hesitate at all.
The scroll turned into glimmering sparks, and melted into Xia Feng’s head.
A few minutes later, flames popped up on Xia Feng’s hand.
The flames looked quite feeble, and seemed to be dying out whenever there was a gentle blow.
Xia Feng had planned to invoke fire and unleash a fireball.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t good enough.
He had just developed a spiritual body. His spiritual power was still too insignificant for him to use a spiritual technique.
Xia Feng tried a few more times to no avail, so he stopped experimenting.
He opened the game menu, and found the new forum module.
He intended to see other people’s reactions, so he entered the public channel.
“Shoot, someone got an SSS rating in a dungeon. I’m so embarrassed with a D rating.”
“The forum is finally here! I wonder if you’ll receive special rewards if you post enough threads.”
“Why are you all excited? Did you not see the notification that the number of monsters will increase and they might mutate?”
“Someone please kill me. I’m so traumatized. My combat ability is no more than 100, yet Xia Feng’s is above 3,000. How can I play this?”
All kinds of messages were rolling in the public channel.
When a mass of humanity coalesced into one place, all sorts of things could happen.
Then, Xia Feng opened the regional channel, which had exploded too.
The reason was simple. Xia Feng’s combat ability had been exposed on the World Rank.
Everybody in the region who was still alive was sucking up to him.
Even Drake Haski had joined them too, and repeated all the messages that praised Xia Feng.
Quitting the channel, Xia Feng opened the forum module.
The moment he entered it, “World Rank of Combat Ability” occupied the whole screen for three seconds.
Three seconds later, a list appeared, and Xia Feng was on the top.
[World Rank of Combat Ability]
First: Xia Feng, 3,221 Combat Ability
Second: Shangguan Hongyue, 1,466 Combat Ability
Third: Peter Shaw, 1,413 Combat Ability
Fourth: Sax, 1,298 Combat Ability
Fifth: Wang Teng, 1,274 Combat Ability
***
100,000th: Random Guy, 257 Combat Ability
The World Rank only kept a record of the top 100,000 players.
It meant that only one person in tens of thousands of players could make it to the rank.
Xia Feng was slightly surprised at the ranking.
He didn’t expect to see so many players from the Blue Planet with a combat ability above 1,000.
All the top 13 on the ranking had a combat ability above 1,000.
I really can’t underestimate other people. While I have the golden hints to help me, other people may have special privileges too.
Thinking quickly, Xia Feng read the ranking rewards at the bottom of the rank.

Rewards for the 10,001st to 100,000th places: […]
Xia Feng was quite intrigued to read about the rewards, especially those for the top, which included an epic recipe.
So far, the best recipe he had was only a superior one.
Also, there were Spiritual Jade Chests, which seemed two levels higher than Golden Chests, and other great items.
When Xia Feng read the ranking, a beautiful woman was checking the ranking too.
She was shocked for a moment to see Xia Feng on the top of the ranking with a combat ability much higher than hers.
She slightly frowned while touching a transparent, glittering orb in her hand, and mumbled, “Xia Feng, I thought you were just a clown who reveled in other people’s attention. I didn’t know you were so strong.”
She was none other than Shangguan Hongyue. The glittering orb in her hand could predict danger.
Shangguan Hongyue had been exploring the misty islands with the orb. That was how she became so strong.
There’s still a long time to go until the renewal of the ranking. Xia Feng, let’s wait and see. I’ll be at the top of the rank.
Without reading other content, Shangguan Hongyue closed the menu and chose a channel.
Her island was connected to four channels. Shangguan Hongyue had already chosen the best one with the divination orb.
When Shangguan Hongyue resumed her exploration, Xia Feng closed the world ranking, and entered the forum.
The world ranking was a subsection of the forum accessible in the top right corner of the forum.
The moment he entered the homepage of the forum, his attention was caught by one particular thread entitled “Mysteries of Xia Feng, Who Ranks Top”.
Xia Feng clicked the thread and read it.
