Jealousy churned inside Chu Qi-Tian's gut. It was then that the chief elder realized that something was amiss.
"Something's not right. Sect Leader, you're the only woman who's placed in the top three positions in the Sky Ranking. The other two are both male grandmasters. That young woman can't be one of them. Who is she? Judging from the powers that she's displayed, it's clear that she isn't a nobody," said the chief elder solemnly as he frowned.
"That's right. She looks Asian though. Is she another Chinese grandmaster who's been living in the mountains as a hermit? Could she be the Phoenix Empress, one of the six pillars of the Chinese nation?"
Everyone began to make their own guesses. Some suspected that the young woman was one of the six pillars of China, the Phoenix Empress.
After all, there were only so many female supreme grandmasters in the international martial arts circle, plus Ye Fan was a Chinese citizen. The Phoenix Empress
naturally came to mind.
The chief elder shook his head. "The chances of that are slim. Even though the Phoenix Empress is one of the six pillars of China, she's placed further down the Sky Ranking and isn't as powerful as we think she is. The most powerful martial artist in China, Ye Qing-Tian, isn't a match for our sect leader, much less the Phoenix Empress! But since we're talking about Asian martial artists, someone does come to mind."
"Who?" Everyone stared at the chief elder.
"The Moon God of Japan! She's probably the only one who is our sect leader's match," said the chief elder solemnly with a serious look on his face.
"Heavens!"
"The Moon God of Japan?"
"You mean the reborn Tsukuyomi Tenshin of Japan?" "I heard she possesses powers at god
realm level!"
Everyone gasped aloud at the mention of Tsukuyomi's name.
A heated discussion began.
In fact, discussion about Tsukuyomi had not ceased since she had been reborn.
There had always been numerous legends regarding martial artists at the god realm, martial artists who were deemed as more powerful than supreme grandmasters.
However, there had been none that had yet been formally recognized as a god realm martial artist.
Even though none existed currently, that didn't mean that none had existed in history though.
Old history records that had survived the ages and numerous legends passed down by the people pointed to the existence of god realm martial artists in the past.
There had been Goddess Nuwa of China
and Odin of Norse mythic origins.
And then, there was Tsukuyomi Tenshin of Japan!
There had been why the Tsukuyomi's rebirth had caused such a commotion in the martial arts circle.
But legends were just that. Legends. Most people were had their own suspicions as to how powerful Tsukuyomi truly was because they had never seen her in a fight.
That was why her name was not in the top ten positions in the Sky Ranking.
In order to be placed in the Sky Ranking, one had to prove one's worth in actual battle.
"That's impossible. Why would a Japanese goddess avenge the death of a nobody?
Besides, everyone knows that the Japanese and Chinese martial arts circles don't get along. Why would the guardian of Japan seek vengeance for a Chinese man's death? Don't forget how Ye Fan recently killed..." Chu Qi-Tian cut everyone off coldly. But he didn't finish what he had to say and instead fell silent.
He didn't want anyone to know that Ye Fan was in fact Chu Tian-Fan.
