Open up and break into another world

The Dark Alliance is the second-largest merchant guild in the Divine Domain.

The Divine Domain's largest merchant guild, the "Myriad Treasures Pavilion," conducts business openly throughout the entire Divine Domain; while the Dark Alliance deals in the dark, underground business.

For their safety, forces like the Dark Alliance, which operate in the shadows, usually have several headquarters; and the Underground City is one of the headquarters of the Dark Alliance.

Xu Ming frowned slightly: "The Peerless Elegance Ranking is actually released by such a force?"

But thinking about it carefully, it's quite normal.

You must know that the evaluation process of the Peerless Elegance Ranking requires a lot of martial arts duels!

And fighting is strictly prohibited within Holy Emperor City, so martial arts duels can only be conducted in the Underground City.

The Dark Alliance has a massive influence in the Underground City; therefore, the various forces in the Underground City jointly compile the Peerless Elegance Ranking, which is then released by the Dark Alliance.

"Let me see how this Peerless Elegance Ranking is arranged!"

Xu Ming walked into the Dark Alliance and approached a receiving deity: "I want to view the Peerless Elegance Ranking!"

The receiving deity glanced at Xu Ming and said indifferently: "One bottle of Divine Marrow!"

"Uh…" Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that even viewing the Peerless Elegance Ranking would cost money…

"This Dark Alliance is really good at making money!" Xu Ming sighed inwardly.

You must know that just glancing at the Peerless Elegance Ranking has no cost whatsoever; yet the Dark Alliance actually charges a bottle of Divine Marrow as an "entrance fee," which is really a rip-off.

What Xu Ming didn't know was that the Dark Alliance only charged "retail customers" like him who were unknown; for those large forces or powerful experts, they would proactively deliver the Peerless Elegance Ranking to their door.

After all, the purpose of the various forces in the Underground City jointly compiling the "Peerless Elegance Ranking" was to give some outstanding geniuses a chance to show their faces in front of the upper echelons of the Divine Domain.

After paying a bottle of Divine Marrow, Xu Ming received a jade slip, which was the latest issue of the Peerless Elegance Ranking!

"Who is on the list?"

Xu Ming immersed his mental energy into the jade slip and began to read.

Entering his "eyes," the name ranked first was actually…

"Li Xiujie!!"

As soon as he saw this name, Xu Ming couldn't help but erupt with anger.

The following paragraph was an introduction to Li Xiujie: "Li Xiujie, the heir of the Divine Domain's top family, the 'Li Family'! General of the Holy Emperor City's West Gate Guard! This year, he demonstrated the strength of a Half-Step Dominator in the 'Blood Sea Battle Arena.' After evaluation, his strength exceeds Long Peng, ranking first on the Peerless Elegance Ranking…"

"Humph!" Xu Ming snorted inwardly, "As expected, the first is Li Xiujie…"

"Little Cheat!" Xu Ming called out.

Little Cheat immediately bounced out in Xu Ming's mind.

"Tell me, how many Cheat Points are needed to use the 'Book of Life and Death' Cheat to kill Li Xiujie?" Xu Ming really couldn't stand Li Xiujie's arrogance.

Little Cheat investigated and replied: "Li Xiujie has special energy protecting him, so the 'Book of Life and Death' Cheat cannot be used to kill him for the time being!"

"What?" Xu Ming was stunned.

Protected by special energy?

Cannot be killed for the time being?

"I didn't expect that this Li Xiujie would have some kind of trump card hidden…" Xu Ming was a little surprised, "But it's nothing to worry about! I'll spare his little life for now, and when I have the opportunity, I'll kill him openly and fairly!"

However…

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is unavoidable!

Xu Ming didn't care what Li Xiujie was doing now, he activated the "Remote Slap in the Face" Cheat and casually sent him a "Slap Set Meal."

Speaking of which, Li Xiujie is really pitiful! Whether he's eating, drinking, or showing off, he might inexplicably receive a slap… Moreover, after each slap, he can't find the source at all.

After sending the Remote Slap in the Face Set Meal, Xu Ming's gaze continued to move down.

"Second place, Long Peng!—Occupied the throne of 'Divine Domain's Number One Expert of the Younger Generation' for hundreds of millions of years, just surpassed by Li Xiujie…"

"Third place, Yehenala · Cantian! The most noble 'Yehenala Clan' bloodline of the Demon Race, with extraordinary strength and background!"

"Fourth place…"

Xu Ming looked at them one by one—these geniuses on the Peerless Elegance Ranking will all be Xu Ming's competitors when he participates in the martial arts tournament to win a bride!

Although Xu Ming is very confident in his strength, but since it concerns Yin Ran, and he doesn't know the rules of the tournament yet… therefore, it's necessary to be cautious and learn more about his opponents.

"The hundred people on the Peerless Elegance Ranking are all geniuses who have reached the Divine Emperor realm!" Xu Ming was secretly surprised, "It seems that there are really a lot of geniuses in the Divine Domain!"

The Divine Domain's definition of the "younger generation" is "within one billion years old."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Achieving the title of King within one billion years old is considered a genius throughout the entire Divine Domain; achieving the title of Divine Emperor within one billion years old is an even more super genius who is famous throughout the Divine Domain!

"Eh—there's also a 'Potential Ranking' below this Peerless Elegance Ranking, what is it?"

Xu Ming looked down.

The Potential Ranking densely recorded thousands of names; however, the introduction to each name was much simpler than the Peerless Elegance Ranking!

"Bei Yin, Peak King…"

"Xie Nanshu, Limit King…"

"Luo Kaiyuan…"

"Hmm? They are all King-level geniuses!" In Xu Ming's view, King-level should not pose much of a threat in the martial arts tournament to win a bride; he glanced at it casually and didn't pay any more attention.

After thinking about it, Xu Ming walked to the receiving deity of the Dark Alliance again and asked: "Excuse me, how can one be listed on the Peerless Elegance Ranking?"

The receiving deity glanced at Xu Ming casually and said: "One hundred bottles of Heaven and Earth Essence can get you on the Potential Ranking!"

"Uh…" Xu Ming was stunned.

Isn't getting on the Peerless Elegance Ranking based on strength? Why is it related to Heaven and Earth Essence again?

Xu Ming said: "I want to get on the Peerless Elegance Ranking, not the Potential Ranking…"

The receiving deity with somewhat sharp cheekbones looked at Xu Ming in disbelief and couldn't help but sneer: "The Peerless Elegance Ranking, even the last place, has the strength of a High-Level Divine Emperor! You, a mere Initial-Stage King, also dream of getting on the Peerless Elegance Ranking? Hahahaha, you're really killing me with laughter!"

"Hahahaha…" Just then, not far from Xu Ming, there was another loud laugh from a burly young man, "You? Want to get on the Peerless Elegance Ranking? Hahahaha…"

Xu Ming was speechless—is it that funny to get on the Peerless Elegance Ranking?

You must know that Brother Ming not only wants to get on the Peerless Elegance Ranking, but also wants to kick Li Xiujie down and take the "first" position himself!

"I say, brother, you're really killing me with laughter!" The burly young man laughed and laughed, then leaned forward, "Want to know how to get on the Peerless Elegance Ranking? Come with me, and I'll tell you!"

Saying that, the burly young man walked directly towards the outside of the Dark Alliance.

Xu Ming thought for a while and followed—this burly young man is only Limit-Stage King, Xu Ming is not worried that he will play any tricks.

"An overestimating brat!" The receiving deity of the Dark Alliance, looking at Xu Ming's leaving figure, shook his head and sneered again.
