Open up and break into another world

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

Xu Ming planned to first find a place to settle down.

“There are still more than ten years before the start of the recruitment. If I practice diligently, maybe I can reach a higher level in the ancient cultivator school!”

Xu Ming didn't know the specific rules of the recruitment yet.

However, no matter what the rules are, the stronger the strength, the better!

Moreover…

Xu Ming even considered that if there were any tricks in the recruitment process, and the Holy Emperor City Lord didn't choose him in the end, then… Xu Ming would have to take action and "snatch the bride"!

Of course, if he were to snatch the bride, the stronger his strength, the better!

Strength!

Xu Ming needed absolute strength!

……

While pondering, suddenly, the conversation of two gods by the roadside attracted Xu Ming.

“The new 'Peerless Grace Ranking' is out, did you know?” A young man in fancy clothes, waving a folding fan, chatted with his companion.

“How could I not know?” Another god said, “The Peerless Grace Ranking is a special list set up by various forces within the 'Underground City' to cater to the Holy Emperor City Lord's recruitment! It records the most graceful and talented geniuses within the entire Holy Emperor City range!”

Xu Ming listened silently: “I thought it was something! It turns out it's just a boring list!”

Peerless Grace Ranking?

The name is quite fancy!

However, Brother Ming is not interested in this kind of fancy list.

The list cannot represent anything; only strength can!

However, in the next instant, Xu Ming changed his mind!

The young man in fancy clothes, waving a folding fan, chatted with a smile: “I heard that even the Holy Emperor City Lord will pay attention to this list! Presumably, the Holy Emperor City Lord will also pay attention to the reputation of his son-in-law when choosing one, right?”

“That's for sure!” Another god smiled and said, “The higher the reputation, the easier it is to enter the Holy Emperor City Lord's sight, and the easier it is to be selected as a son-in-law!”

“It's a pity that the two of us are not strong enough to participate in the recruitment, and can only chat and sigh here!”

“Haha!”

“Hmm?” Xu Ming was shocked, “The Holy Emperor City Lord will also pay attention to this Peerless Grace Ranking?”

Although Xu Ming was not interested in this list, in order to increase the probability of winning the recruitment as much as possible, he decided to try to make it onto this list!

“The Peerless Grace Ranking is jointly released by various forces in the 'Underground City'! In that case, I'll go to the Underground City for a stroll!”

……

The Underground City is located beneath Holy Emperor City.

In Holy Emperor City, it is strictly forbidden to fight; violators will be killed! However, the Underground City is a dark corner within Holy Emperor City; there is no order here, and all killings are allowed!

As soon as Xu Ming entered the Underground City, he faintly smelled a trace of blood!

“It seems that it really is a chaotic place of killing!” Xu Ming was not nervous at all, but instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A place of killing?

The strong will not be afraid!

Although Xu Ming's strength cannot be considered invincible in the God Realm, he definitely deserves the title of "strong"!

“This brother looks very unfamiliar; it seems like it's your first time in the Underground City, right?” A sallow and thin King-Sealing God came up to him, “How about I, your little brother, take you on a tour of the Underground City!”

“Uh…” Xu Ming was stunned—he didn't expect that in the Underground City beneath the number one city in the God Realm, “Holy Emperor City,” he would actually encounter a “tour guide”!

However, Xu Ming was not familiar with the Underground City, so it was not bad to have someone lead the way!

“What's the price?” Xu Ming asked.

“Only one bottle of Divine Marrow!” the King-Sealing God quickly said.

One bottle of Divine Marrow?

Just for a simple tour, you want a bottle of Divine Marrow?—Xu Ming just wanted to say that the "tour guide fee" in the Underground City is really expensive!

You must know that in other places, some poor and stingy early-stage King-Sealing experts might only have one bottle of Divine Marrow in their entire lives!

Under the lead of this King-Sealing tour guide, “Qiu Yang,” Xu Ming shuttled through various parts of the chaotic Underground City.

A few days later, Xu Ming had almost learned about the situation in the Underground City.

“Alright, that's it!” Xu Ming said, taking out a bottle of Divine Marrow and handing it to Qiu Yang; he also teased with a smile, “You can earn a bottle of Divine Marrow in just a few days; your money is really easy to earn!”

However, Qiu Yang did not take it, but instead looked at Xu Ming with a strange smile: “The total cost is three hundred bottles of Divine Marrow!”

Three hundred bottles of Divine Marrow?

Xu Ming was stunned, his face slightly sinking: “Didn't you say one bottle of Divine Marrow? When did it become three hundred bottles?”

Xu Ming felt that this Qiu Yang was trying to cause trouble!

“One bottle, that's the price for a quarter of an hour! I spent several days taking you all over the Underground City; how could it only be one bottle of Divine Marrow?” Qiu Yang looked at him with a smile, as if he had Xu Ming in his grasp.

Xu Ming immediately understood—the other party was trying to scam him!

“Take this bottle of Divine Marrow if you want it! And disappear from my sight before I get angry!” Although Xu Ming had a lot of money and didn't care about hundreds of bottles of Divine Marrow at all, he was absolutely unwilling to be scammed!

Moreover, the one who wanted to scam him was just a weak early-stage King-Sealing expert!

“Scram!” Xu Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly slapped him.

Pa!!

The weak early-stage King-Sealing God, Qiu Yang, was directly slapped away and even suffered some injuries.

“Seeing that you took me around for a few days, I'll spare you your life! If you come to pester me again, it won't be so easy!” After slapping him, Xu Ming left directly.

For this kind of lackey, saying another word is a waste of time.

“You…” Qiu Yang struggled to get up, looked at Xu Ming's departing back, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, “You wait for me!”

……

Xu Ming would not take Qiu Yang's vicious gaze to heart.

How powerful could someone be who relied on this kind of underhanded trick?

It would be fine if he didn't come looking for death; if he came looking for death again, Brother Ming wouldn't mind sending him on his way!

“The Peerless Grace Ranking is updated once a year!” Xu Ming thought to himself, “It's still early before the next Peerless Grace Ranking comes out; I'll go take a look first and see who are on this Peerless Grace Ranking!”

Xu Ming had mainly been learning about the situation in Holy Emperor City these past few days, and hadn't had time to look at the Peerless Grace Ranking yet!
