"His ranking is still climbing! Just how far is this guy going to rise before it stops?"
"I'm not sure. Let's keep watching."
"Fifteenth. He's now on the verge of entering the ranks of experts at Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior."
"How can that be? I can't help but wonder; does he truly possess such strength, or is something fishy going on?"
"I don't know, but cheating is highly improbable. You should know that the Golden Monument is a treasure left behind from the Age of Gods. There is no way someone could tamper with it. Not to mention him or us, even powerful Glorious Gold Star Warriors are unlikely capable of manipulating it!"
"Then how do you explain this? Look at him. He is clearly just a First-tier Star Warrior, yet he reached a ranking where only Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior could possibly rank!"
"Who knows!"
Everyone became nervous. Their eyes followed the name that was jumping slowly, their expressions seemingly in a daze.
Behind them, under a big tree, stood two young men.
"Verom, you might be surpassed by him."
Verom's expression was serious. His eyes were fixed on the name that was slowly climbing up. Even his body was trembling. He was the one ranked thirteenth.
"His ranking has stopped."
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone was looking at the Golden Name. That name stopped at the 14th position, completely motionless, as if it had stopped rising.
"That's great."
Verom heaved a long sigh of relief. The experience just now was even more exhausting than the battle he fought in the past. Fortunately, his ranking did not change.
"Did it really stop?"
Aiden was stunned when he heard the crowd. The system clearly said that it would rank him number one. How can his ranking suddenly stop at the 14th Position?
However, before he or the crowd could relax for long, a powerful force surged within Aiden's body. This force was not present inside him before, but strangely, Aiden felt a close connection with this unknown force.
The next second, that powerful force rushed out of Aiden's palm and poured into the Golden Monument.
Numerous gazes were fixed on the name that was approaching the thirteenth rank. Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. Because Aiden's rise has stopped for a short while, they felt that Aiden might not surpass Verom at all.
Unfortunately, they soon realized how wrong their thought process was.
Under the big tree, Verom's body trembled even more violently. His eyes were fixed on the golden name. Aiden's name was about to break through his ranking. As long as Aiden succeeded, his ranking would drop. He would become the first Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior to fall down a rank.
"God... Bless me!"
Verom had never been so nervous before. The pressure that Aiden gave him was unprecedented.
"He did it."
Suddenly, a shocked voice pierced the air. Everyone's heart trembled violently as they saw the name glowing with golden light, which had actually surpassed Verom and taken his rank.
"He really did it."
"This is the true dark horse."
"I can't believe it. He is only a Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior, but his strength has already reached Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior. Such talent is not something an ordinary person can possess. In fact, even a genius like Dylan who is ranked number one does not have such a shocking talent and strength!"
"It is indeed terrifying."
One after another, shocked voices rang out. When everyone looked at that golden name, they felt as though they were dreaming.
"He actually surpassed me?"
Verom widened his eyes and stared at the name. He found it hard to believe.
Immediately, he clenched his fist, and an imposing aura surged out. He stared at Aiden fiercely. When the people around him saw his actions, they knew that his battle intent was surging. He wanted to have a match with Aiden.
"It is coming!" Aiden could not help but cower and then sigh helplessly. Indeed, as he had expected, he could already feel the rising battle intent and even killing intent in the eyes of many geniuses.
"Look, it has not stopped. His ranking is still rising."
"My God! What is going on?"
"Too terrifying."
Soon, everyone found that Aiden's ranking was still rising after he surpassed Verom.
12th place.
11th Place.
10th Place.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the expressions of countless people in front of the golden monument froze at this moment.
A moment later, a heated discussion erupted in the arena.
"Yaren has been surpassed as well."
"It has been a few days since anyone has been able to enter the top 10. A new person finally appeared."
"I originally thought that the top ten positions would be unshakable, but unexpectedly, someone actually did it."
"This is too inconceivable."
They looked at this scene with shock, not being able to believe that an unknown person could actually climb into the top ten.
The top ten people were all geniuses from large cities. But now, they were surpassed by an unknown youth. Everyone could imagine how big of a commotion this would cause in South Prefecture after the news spread.
"This guy...?"
Roy looked at the Golden Monument in shock. Top ten was his goal, and he had longed for it for a long time. Unfortunately, he was not powerful enough.
Aiden tried withdrawing his hand many times but was unable to. His ranking did not stop. It kept increasing, causing more and more commotion among the people present at the scene.
When Aiden's ranking climbed to second place, the uproar among the crowd was so intense that even the bustling markets would seem tranquil in comparison.
By this time, nearly the entire Red Dust City had been stirred by the news about Aiden. After all, he was merely a First-tier Level 1 Star Warrior, yet he had effortlessly secured the second rank. How could such a feat not capture everyone's attention?
"First Rank, he actually pushed Dylan down to the second position and sat on the top position!"
"I can't believe my eyes. Is this really happening? Am I witnessing the birth of a legend?"
"I really can't believe it either. Could it be that this person used some sort of cheat to rank first?"
"Nah, it is impossible to cheat. No one can cheat when it comes to Golden Genius Ranking."
In the end, when Aiden ranked first, the crowd fell in a moment of complete silence before exploding with such a commotion that stirred the entire Red Dust City.
Aiden, on the other hand, showed a harmless smile on his face. But if anyone looks at him carefully, they would see a hint of bitterness hidden under his smile.
Now, he could finally feel his hand was under his control. Sighing, Aiden slowly withdrew his hand from the Golden Monument.
At this time, a name was engraved on the top row. A dazzling golden color erupted from it, deeply tempting everyone's heart.
Countless people looked at this scene in horror. The dazzling golden light once again burst out with a loud sound.
Aiden Wilder.
This was the name being showered with golden light now.
"This person?"
Verom, who was standing under the tree, shook his head. He loosened his tightly clenched fist.
"Verom, aren't you going to fight him?" The young man beside him asked in confusion.
Verom glanced at him and said indifferently, "Even if I don't go, someone will challenge that kid and look for trouble with him."
The man was startled. He raised his head and looked at the golden monument, then he suddenly realized something.
"It is time to leave this place."
Aiden knew standing here longer meant attracting trouble. It would be better to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Under everyone's shocked and passionate gazes, Aiden slowly left.
The crowd was so shocked that they did not stop Aiden from leaving. Only when Aiden disappeared that they come back to their senses.
And once again, a huge uproar broke out in public.
"Today, a mysterious young man came to Red Dust City, pushed Dylan off his throne, and sat on the top position of the Golden Monument."
"Top position? Is that true?"
"Of course, it's true. "
"Who is he?"
"His name is Aiden Wilder. Have you heard of this name?"
"Never heard of it!"
"Where did this Aiden person come from?"
"Who knows? But one thing is certain. After today, he will never have a peaceful day as long as he is in the Red Dust City. In fact, even if he leaves the Red Dust City, trouble will follow him closely."
"Are you asking why?"
"It is because this Aiden Wilder is just a Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior. He is not even a Blue Spirit Star Warrior but actually pushed down Dylan, a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior, off his throne. Tell me, how can trouble not follow Aiden wherever he goes?"
"That is so true!"
Similar conversations and discussions were everywhere. Aiden's name spread across the entire Red Dust City in an instant.
Aiden, on the other hand, went to a tavern called Saint Light Tavern and booked a room to stay. He might stay in Red Dust City for a day or two.
