Chapter 541: Battle Tower Ranking (Part-4)

Apollo’s ranking continued to rise without any change in his speed, and it was clear he still had plenty of strength left. His ranking might even reach a very high level. This immediately made everyone try to find out who Apollo actually was.

Strong sects and clans immediately sent people to investigate. They quickly obtained the information from the human court’s IDs.

It had only a name and nothing else, and he was a rogue warrior with no background. But learning this immediately made those sects and clans more excited.

It was even better for them, and they could take him into their clans or sects without any trouble. Such geniuses without any foundation and alone, with their talents and strength, reach such a high level that they are very extraordinary and can even be said to be better than most geniuses nurtured by powerful sects and clans.

And after joining them, with their help, he can climb even higher on the Battle Tower list. Knowing this, they immediately sent people to find Apollo and bring him back to their respective powers.

Most powers in the state sent people to find him as fast as possible before he joined another sect or clan.

Apollo, on the other hand, didn’t know what kind of chaos his rise in ranking caused. His focus was on the different geniuses he encountered through his multiple challenges.

And he had to say the geniuses in the rankings weren’t bad; as he rose through the ranks, their strength was also steadily rising. He meets quite a number of geniuses that have very unique kinds of fighting styles and understandings of different kinds of rules.

Through this, not only did he increase his knowledge, but he also gained a new understanding of different rules, even if the understanding of their rules was below his.

He had already defeated more than a dozen geniuses, and every single one of them had different understandings and various divine abilities. Although they weren’t strong, he could take their ideas and incorporate them into his.

He had a feeling that after going through this, he needed to enter closed-door training, and the results would be extraordinary.

Before, he felt it was too slow, as he had to fight ten thousand battles if he wanted to reach the top of the sub-list, but now he was enjoying it.

Thus, he continued challenging his opponents and steadily climbing the rankings.

He defeated hundreds of geniuses, then thousands.

His ranking continued to rise as he advanced through the list, passing the five-hundred-thousand mark and then climbing toward the upper ranks.

Eventually, after defeating nine thousand geniuses, Apollo finally entered the top one hundred thousand.

At that point, however, he noticed a significant change.

The strength of the geniuses he encountered had become completely different.

The opponents at this level were no longer comparable to those he had faced earlier. Their understanding of the rules, the power of their divine abilities, and their overall combat strength had risen dramatically.

The opponents at this level had a power that had fully surpassed the transcendent level and had entered the supreme level. Their understanding of rules seemed to have reached the fourth layer, and their divine abilities seemed to have reached perfection.

They should be able to face a newly born supreme and save their lives in direct battle. It might not appear big, but this was a terrifying jump in level, as it’s not easy to bridge the gap between transcendent and supreme.

And a true extreme prodigy can do that. These people can be called the true elite and future of the human realm.

But it still wasn’t much, and the battle ended pretty quickly, even when slowed down to watch their understanding of the rules. There were even some from different races other than humans who also had powerful bloodline abilities, but that didn’t change anything.

He defeated everything that came in his way and finally made it from the top 100,000 to the top 10,000 and created such an explosion that the entire state was caught in turmoil.

Everyone had their eyes on his ranking as he continued to climb from the bottom, but even in their dreams they didn’t think he would directly break through to the top ten thousand.

Such a thing didn’t happen for tens of millions of years. Apollo’s record breakthrough in the ranking had made every sect or clan lose their minds, as they were all determined to have him in their ranks.

Among those ranked in the top ten thousand, which individuals hadn’t been born into powerful clans or descended from extraordinary bloodlines?

Many had been nurtured from childhood by Supremes, and some even came from lineages connected to Sovereigns.

They had enjoyed the finest cultivation resources, the guidance of powerful experts, and countless opportunities unavailable to ordinary warriors.

Even with all those advantages, only a tiny fraction had managed to reach such heights.

And now, a rogue warrior who had appeared out of nowhere had accomplished the same feat through his own strength and talent.

How could the major powers possibly remain calm?

To them, Apollo was no longer merely a promising newcomer.

He was a monster of talent—a potential pillar of any faction fortunate enough to recruit him.

Apollo inside the Battle Tower finally looked at the 10,000th-ranked genius. He was human, but just from his expression, he could see he was a very proud and cocky one.

He even felt a very terrifying power within him. He could guess he was a descendant of some powerful being, likely a Sovereign, as the aura he gave off was completely different from a normal bloodline.

His hair and even his irises were crimson red. Merely standing before him caused the surrounding temperature to rise, while the fire rules in the area seemed to grow excited in response to his presence.

It was clear his understanding of the rules of fire surpassed even the fourth layer, and combined with his bloodline, it seemed his power had reached a terrifying level.

"Interesting." Apollo smiled, as this made things better for him.
